Hiring freeze
I do know that as of about a month ago, they were having a hiring freeze.
hired right before they instituted hiring freeze sm
Right now work is kinda slow across the board, most places I have worked are always a little slower in the summer. I have been getting my lines, but having to work a little harder and be a little more flexible for them, but there are times when I can get a few hours of OT if I want them.
I think it shows excellent judgment on WMX part not to overhire just because they have a few good applicants apply. It makes me feel like they are more worried about their current MTs. I left my last job because that is exactly what they did, and then expected me to work crazy hours to make up my lines (I have small kids and need a babysitter to work--and I can't pay one to sit at my house when work might come through or ask her to stay 24/7 because there might be a few lines I could grab here and there ,)
I really only have good things to say (so far) about WMX, I think they would definitely be worth waiting on. And before I get flamed, I am not management, just somebody who has worked in few Hades holes, and like being talked to like a person again (and paid like somebody who might have a little bit of knowledge--instead of like a high school kid flipping burgers).
You could probably still e-mail and ask if they are hiring for new accts. Just a thought.

Freeze
I'm not sure when they started the hiring freeze, but I was hired in July of last year.
It does freeze up. Have you tried not using highlighter

oops..had a brain freeze.
MQ does provide equipment. not sure, however, if PT flex is provided with equipment or not.
with the freeze and wondering why you would place

bank account freeze
To anyone out there who is considering working for Preferred Transcriptions in Pennsylvania, I would say, keep far, far away.
My bank recently notified me of a 15-day hold on a check of theirs due to the account being frozen which means that it has a hold on it due to creditors. On top of that, they never pay on time. Most companies will pay in two weeks but here it is always at least three weeks after submission of invoice.
Have had no satisfaction from the company who are basically putting it on me. They said the check has cleared but refuse to provide documentation and are now ignoring my e-mails.
Will probably have to go to small claims court and just maybe, I will get my money. javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');
Think MTSO would toss resume with freeze on

Hell will freeze over before YOU can make your job *work* with TransTech. Out of your control !!!
I don't know who has ruined this wonderful company, but E is one of them !!! Of course, D is in control of everything, so just amazed at the condition of TT now.
I actually thought of that. I even thought of trying to go back to MQ part-time!! (sm)
I just wonder about hours at a second company. I work days (and some nights) with this company. I have a set schedule but with the no work situtation I've been on the computer at all hours of the day and night. Right now I have no work, so I would love to jump on at a company #2 and start working. Do you have to have set hours at your company #2? Thanks for the suggestion.
Maybe MQ is over hiring now in preparation for something. Must be some reason they keep hiring when
some people have not work.
Curious too!! I am on LOA with them, but would like to know!!

Curious?
Which "owner" are we talking about? I've worked there 2 years and never encountered a "moody" person. Matter-of-fact, I don't even know who the owner IS come to think of it?????
I'm curious
So many trashing MQ before they've read the new information. If you're that unhappy why do you stay? Why not leave before the packet arrives? Why not quit kvetching and moaning and go find someone whose practices and pay rates you find satisfactory.
How many of you are MTs with less than "perfect" skills and yet MQ keeps you on? How many of you work the required hours? How many of you do what is expected of YOU as an MT? My guess, having spent many years as an MTSO, is that many of those complaining are the ones not meeting the requirements of being a PROFESSIONAL MT.
Give MQ the benefit of the doubt. I've known this company since its inception in the 1970s and believe me, the packet is a good thing for MTs, for the MT industry, and for PROFESSIONAL transcriptionists who want to continue doing professional work.
I'm also curious if they
hire IC or FTE? Looks like an interesting company. I'd like to know something about them too!
Curious
Why, those 2 last names are partners in OSi
Now I'm curious
I agree DH is a good person, she's the only one I've ever spoken to in the office besides the techs. Curious to know who the swivel head might be. LOL Didn't know they ran out of work, wouldn't bother me once in awhile but if it became consistent....well....
Curious - What is SBC? sm
I have Verizon Freedom. I told them exactly what I would be using it fr and they said no problem, unlimited. I hope they don't call me out on it.
MDI-MD MTs - I'm curious whether you use
another expander? And if you use Bayscribe, do you use the Quick Bar? I keep going back and forth. I have ShortHand and Smartype of my own. I've tried all different combinations of using them and can't seem to find the right combination. What I like about Shorthand is that a box pops up to tell me/remind me what is going to play out when I put in a certain shortcut. The Bayscribe Expander doesn't, unless you are using the Quickbar. But then when I use the Quickbar I have trouble with it expanding stuff I don't intend to expand, especially when I putting in the header stuff. But a plus for Quickbar is that is expands instantaneously and I have found Shorthand to hesitate slightly and sometimes by that time I have gone on typing and it will do weird things like capiltalize a letter in the middle if I have pushed the caps key or whatever as I continue typing.
What works for the rest of you?
just curious, but . . .
Didn't the administrator ask OSi to confirm that they were offshoring before making a decision about banning from the board? Of course we all know they didn't get the truth, but I do think they asked them directly. If a co. is going to put ads on this board, don't they owe it to the adm. to be truthful? And I really think they would be. But my biggest question is why some of you people on here just persist on bullying people when they ask questions. It's ridiculous and childish.
I'm curious about this too. (sm)
I spent some time on the AAMT website and can't find it there either. Were you able to get an answer?. I may call the company tomorrow to ask them again before I make my final decision.
Curious...
as to why you only worked on it for a few days?
Just curious!!
 Does anyone know anything about a company called ATSI (american transcription solutions, inc.) also known as MT World? Just wanted some info on this company (the good, bad, and the ugly). Thanks
Just curious!!
Is the money the only thing that stopped you or was there something else?
To Just Curious
Yes, the subjects are similar and forgive me if this second post bothered you. My first message was directed at how to ensure I could get my first job back within the MT department where I previously worked. In this second message I was questioning whether national employers might hire me if I wasn't accepted back into my department. I was concerned how my two-year lapse working would be received by the national companies as I'm sure the dates will be verified by my employer.
I am curious as well
I have also taken the initial test and will be taking the second portion. Would also like any info anyone may have!
But is that at 4 cpl? Just curious.

I'm curious too!
:)
Curious too
I work for Cymed too, but I'm pretty far out of the loop about anything..just sitting home typing... curious though.
Just curious though...how many hrs PTO
do you get per year and how long before you can start using it. Also, is the PTO and holiday time paid at a flat hourly rate for everyone or based on your average? This is all stuff to compare. Thanks.
Curious
Are you considered an employee or IC with them?
Curious to know...
if the original poster below did indeed report them...or if the previous team lead did as well?
I'm just curious about something sm
What do you have to lose about communicating openly and honestly with your manager? The worst they can say is No, I need you to stay on X accts. If you say look, I'd be more productive on 1 primary - or whatever your magic number- although happy to help with other accounts, maybe they'll say Sure.
All you can do is ask. I asked for 3 primaries and 2 backups at my employer (Webmedx) and my manager was happy to do it for me.
just curious
how many different accounts do you have to work on in that shift to stay busy?
just curious. Who came up with the 40%? nm
Was just curious
I really couldn't care less about the insurance. I was just curious as to how much it was in case I ever do decide to sign up for it. I don't even get the insurance where I work now as I don't need it. I just asked out of sheer curiosity.
curious to know...
how did they change their pay? I used to work for them on an oncology account...stayed for about 1 year. I do like oncology but it was for a teaching facility and had mega ESL dictators.
Just curious
what company is TTS?
just curious
any information on TAIB in Maine.
Curious too
I saw the same add. Anyone had any experience with them? Their website says they pay 8 cents a line or something comparable, depending on the account.
curious as to
.
Curious
I don't think I would be in breach of any contract (which I haven't signed yet anyway) if I told you that my last day of employment was Monday, September 10, 2007.
Curious....
did anyone contact them with more than 5 years experience and what did they offer you?
I'm curious too, and about CMT...SM
I started in MT in 1985 and have never bothered to get certified, and it hasn't held me back any. I've worked in a hospital, a huge clinic, two several-doc offices, and for 2 nationals. No prospective employer ever asked me if I was certified (as an MT, at least...lol!). Don't really think it's that big a deal.
Curious
If that is the pay for SR, what would the cpl rate be for a seasoned hem/onc transcriptionist?
Yes, curious as to when that was...
I have been with DSG for 3+ years and never had an email begging me to say anything nice at all!
Really funny how you have to be bribed into saying something nice or in management to say something positive about DSG? I am just a an extremely happy employee loving my job!
Just curious
When did they start having a daily minimum? I've been with them for 1-1/2 years and was never told this. It's IC status and that's not how it works for me. Did something change recently that I'm not aware of?
Why no thanks? Just curious....NM
Just curious...
I just got hired-on at Transcend! How do you like it there? So far I like what I'm hearing...
Thanks.
Curious on how you do that....sm
My question is, do you have to do that yourself or do you have it manufactured that way?
