I was told we have 3 months on VA to make the new production....

I'd be crying to get my job back.  Well 7 months have passed and not only am I not crying to get my job back at Transcend, I'm reading that people there are pretty much as furious now as some were 7 months ago.  Not much has changed there, has it?  I waited until enough time passed to defend myself because the proof is in the pudding.   It seems that it is only the ones who keep defending the unethical actions of this company that think I'm making myself look bad.   That much has not changed.  As far as being open and honest with the employees about the offshoring, I don't believe that for a minute.   They were never very forthcoming OR honest, why would they change now?  They could send you as many emails as they want at this point because there is no way you could prove that they haven't been planning this for a while now.  Think about it.  How many companies start a pilot anything without planning first and if they thought that much about their employees to tell them up front, why were so many blindsided by the news? 

As far as experimenting and doing are 2 different things - and just because something is being explored doesn't mean it will be a done deal.   How quickly you forgot the VR pilot, huh?  Or maybe you weren't there when it was just a pilot.   As far as being happy for myself, I am.  I don't need to knock Transcend's reputation, they do quite well with that themselves.  If they didn't, there wouldn't be posts like mine to be read.  But one thing for sure has not changed.   Employees at Transcend will come and go at a rapid rate because many will catch on to the unethical practices.  Some will stick it out longer than others because they want to give Transcend the benefit of doubt.  But, Transcend shows its appreciation by sending their work overseas and tinkling all over those who have been hardworking, loyal employees.   Some will tire of it, and some like being tinkled on.  But employees like that make for good stock return and money to be made, and that's another reason I still have interest in Transcend and how many have left this time.

6.  If you're really making all of the money you're claiming then good for you - especially if you're not working extra hours.  Be happy for yourself and don't knock another company.  It makes you look bad.   One person's dream job is another person's disaster.  I'm sure that where-ever you're working now has people who say bad things about it.   

First off, the recruiter/interviewer was so darned nice, incredibly down to earth, and an absolute pleasure to talk to.  After talking with them, I was really bummed I wouldn't be working for them because this interviewer person was just so real and someone I would love to know outside of work, ya know?  It wasn't just all robot-business speak, which is refreshing like you wouldn't believe.

Anyway, I was asked what I was looking for and said I needed to make a guaranteed minimum of 7000 lines per pay week, as I was sole suport for my household, and that I loved where I was now but was only looking to change employers because I needed benefits. 

In an incredibly kind gesture of goodwill towards a fellow workhorse, I was told it would most likely never happen (the volume of work available to consistently earn a high line count), as this field has slow periods, as you must know, and a steady amount of work can never be guaranteed and that, for your situation, you would be best off with your current employer with no benefits and a plentiful work supply.  The mention of 30% VR and increasing day-by-day was also a huge put-off for me because, well, I hate that crap...and don't let anyone fool you, for the money you earn, it is most indeed crap and the joke is on the MT.

This place has a great pay rate, great benefits, but unfortunately the work flow cannot be guaranteed.  Scary prospect indeed when one can't work just for fun money for shoes and crap.  I couldn't believe the honestly and I was so appreciative of that.  

Doesn't matter.  To me, the TTS pay scale is too low.  I didn't even bother interviewing with them after they sent me their email outlining the pay structure.

This HORRIBLE low/no work situation has been going on at TT for almost a year now.  You can't convince me it is due to Memorial Day.  Are holidays now assigned in this world to being daily. 

That is an excuse these companies use in these no work situations, but it is due to their OVERHIRING.  Holidays just come on a daily basis, but LOW WORK/NO WORK is happening and has happened going on a year now at TransTech.  Always asking to flex into the middle of the night, EVERY weekend, etc. 

The TT mgmt checks are NEVER affected, tho, so they can continue to HIRE EVERY MT who gives them a call, and create a NO WORK situation for all of us.  The newbie MT's are cheering at first, but then realize that it hit them in the paycheck, too, and very soon it did!!!!!!!

paid anywhere from $14-$16.50 per hour.  With present company making $16.50.

You will get along great with the MTs if you give them feedback in a positive constructive way and not come off as you are better than them.  No need to be arrogant and snotty when giving feedback.  When doing QA you also need to be willing to mentor.

I am not taking my time with these documents.  The problem is that even when the system is trained, you have to read EVERY LITTLE WORD and fix really stupid things like the dictator said "are" but the VR typed "were"---that kind of stuff.  It's horrible with things like that.

Raises?  What are those?  Thank you?  What does that mean?  An answer?  The only one you will get is "I don't know".  Training?  Forget it. 

What also makes me almost ill is the careless/thoughtless dictators who are dictating in the ICU and all those bells going off, banging their pipe on the table, their cells phones ringing right in my ear, the overhead paging system louder than the dictator, and on and on. I will be so very intense on hearing/interpreting what this horrible dictator is saying and those MONSTROUS NOISES hit me in the ear so loud that it literally gives me a headache. It seems that every night I am working with a terrible headache caused from the dictators. I am totally in a stress wad during my entire shift. When working inhouse, the supervisors will go to the dictator and call them on the carpet, but not these nationals. They are SO afraid of losing an account or irritating someone at the hospital, that we MT's catch all the flack.

I know, I know, I am obviously in the wrong profession now. BUT when I started in this field, the profession was not like this -- and I have been in the field for many years now! Other suggestions welcome.

works?  Where are the breaks and how much per level?  Thanks. 

temporarily.  You might be lucky to get docs whose ROS and PE you can create as a normal, which will help, but with these other work types there are more headings, more hard returns, the dreaded labs.

I find that the terminology is different too.  Where we don't get lots of meds in Ops, we do in the other work types and we may have to look some up, and there may be other terminology that isn't used in Ops that may be unfamiliar.

I have done pretty much all Ops for years too and an occasional DS or ER note is okay, but I despise consults.

Of yea, with other work types lots of times they are dictated by a PA or NP, so you will have dictators that are new to you.  I have had accounts where the PA/NP had their own dictating number and other accounts where they dictated under their sponsoring physician, so you see Dr. Joe Smith come up and he is a wonderful dictator, but it is his fat-headed, *od's gift to women, speedy PA dictating.
