They kept promising me that things would get better.  I typed acute care and radiology at the Big Q.  When all the changes were made and we were switched to DQS I had to choose between acute care and radiology.  I chose radiology which is my first love.  I was also switched from pay per line to pay per report.  My pay check truly suffered as there was little work for the great influx of MTs placed with the one office that handled radiology.  They were truly not ready to handle all of this.  Work was not distributed equally and what was your primary account was no longer.  As they phased out accounts from the cottage program to DQS my work load was lighter and lighter.  I stuck it out from August to January, but can understand how you feel as far as workload and pay, we all have to eat and are not working for charity. 

Hope everything works out for you because it can be soooo frustrating going from one company to another only to be disappointed and then back out on the beaten path in tow with many others.

I was offered a job at another company and accepted it, but something inside me said try TransTech.  So that's what I'm doing!  It's always hard to move on, but when you're being disrespected and treated badly, it's time.

I work for a GREAT company.  I make a good line rate, I have great benefits and I always have more than enough work to keep me busy. 

There have been some negative posts on here regarding the company I work for.  The main complaint is the fact that they expect their MTs to work the schedule they commit to working when they are hired.  There are also a few complaints about how strict QA can be.  There has recently been a couple of posts about the company talking about lack of work on Monday and about having feed problems. 

The truth is I have been offered OT on Mondays for the last month or 2.  We have had 2 separate feed problems due to facility issues (not a company issue) within the past month.  Now, my company pays downtime if we run out of work, they do not overstaff our accounts, they provide us great benefits and pay us great wages but people are still complaining???  I just don't get it. 

If I had to go outside of my home and find a position, I sure as heck would not have near the convenience that I have with this job, even if I have to stick to a schedule.  When you go outside of home to work, don't you have to work a schedule???  Do you not have something said to you if you are late or leave work early???  Do you not have something said to you if you make errors in your work???

I also hear people complaining about rude editors, co-workers, etc.  Ummm, is everyone in your life always in a good mood?  When you work outside of your home, do you never get your toes stepped on by someone or another???  I think I remember my biggest reason for working at home and that is because I don't like dealing with two-faced, back stabbers.

I know there are a lot of bad companies out there as I have worked for a few myself but after starting with this company and being here almost 3 years, I am amazed at the people who still complain about them. 

MTs need to realize that this is a JOB.  We have to make the same sacrifices as 90% of American workers, which includes WORKING A SCHEDULED SHIFT!!  There is no doubt it is a little sacrifice so that I can continue to make a good wage, have good benefits and always have work. 

Picking on you?  I tend to feel that way these days.  Like, I feel that QA is being overly stern for some reason and the owner doesn't seem to care either way.  In a sense I feel they WANT me to quit, but why not just fire me if I am not doing a good job?

After two years on the job and very consistent high QA scores, they decide that my QA isn't up to par and put me back in 100% QA and I have been on this for 3 months now and never had anything else said to me about it. 

it was a good time to retire.  If you Google Transcription Stat and Sausalito (where the MTSO at the root of the whole affair was located--interesting because the office used to be in downtown San Francisco and Sausalito was where Kim lived.  Wonder if she was running it out of her home at the time the whole thing went down...), all you get is references to the UCSF affair so I suspect she is no longer in business.  Didn't one article say her UCSF work totally dried up after that?  That was her main account, as far as I know. 

later I am a temporary employee at Walmart for 6.00/hr.  Still more than I was making at my production job but how humiliating. 

is after being offered a position three times by this company over the past few years and each time I have been turned off by how unorganized they are over there.  I had the same experience this past week with them not getting back to me.  Then they did and told me about two positions.  I told her the one I was interested in but needed an answer about the ins.  Then they called me back the next day but she forgot why I was even waiting for the call and then to top it off was told the position that I was interested was no longer available.  This is the third experience with them.  I don't have time to tell you about the first two.  Incredible.  I have a better job offer from TT (actually to return back to them on a better account) and Axolotl which I will decide on by tomorrow, and another from Transcend which I am turning down but Transcend is right on, very organized, answered all my questions, and told me what all she had available and I picked the one I wanted, no surprises and no being left hanging, immediately sent me the ins info by email before we even got off the phone!  That is the way a company should be run as far as HR is concerned.  The two that I am deciding on also are very efficient in answering ALL questions in a TIMELY MANNER and are organized.  Debbie is great and Axolotl is very very nice and polite and immediately sent me the information I needed such as INSURANCE.  I need to have questions answered before accepting a position.  I will not go in blindly.  I have a chronically sick daughter for crying out loud and some companies did not even have the decency to respond to me on ins. so they got nothing back from me.  Oh and get this when I finally did get the ins. information from KS it was this!! http://www.geoaccess.com/phcs/po/  No information on nothing, just a provider look up and when you click on the home icon and travel your way through the website trying to find info there is nothing that states anything about what the coverage is!!

I will never apply for KS again.  Three strikes and your'e out!!
