Are they losing accounts. Do most of their accounts stay for long period of time. I have
heard pros and cons about the quality of their work. I guess it is much cheaper than other companies can offer.
they are probably losing accounts or going to VR..sm
Have the attitudes of people in the office changed for the better? I remember the nastiest dispositions I have ever encountered in this business.
Good luck in your job search.
I'm not losing out; I have had my own accounts for
they aren't going to get anything better than they had with MDI. Just not gonna happen. Not everyone has the ability (opportunity, connections, know how, experience) to get their own accounts. I feel fortunate that it has come easily to me. I loved MDI but left because I made more with my own accounts. If not for those accounts, though, I would have definitely stayed with MDI. If i were with MDI now, in the situation today, I don't know what I would do...
Had heard they were picking up 2, not losing 2. Are you sure? (sm)
Since you also stated QA positions eliminated, I assume you have some inside information. Please share. I have all my eggs in this one basket. E-mail if you prefer.
They are losing their biggest and one of few rad accounts. sm
My manager told me that it will be gone by the end of the month. It is in NH.
They weren't losing those accounts.
They weren't losing those wonderful accounts, they were being sent to the Philippines to their transcription center there.
You know, improper billing etc and now losing accounts.
On accounts they are losing, one isn't a large hospital in LA? (sm
I figured if they ever lost this one we would be notified in advance. (or at least hoped) This one they got when they bought YOG out, large, large facility. E-mail if you wish.
They keep losing accounts and letting people go. nm

I'd stay away, losing accounts, going under fast...sm
I used to work for this woman and at best it was shaky, but now it's really bad. She just lost 2 large accounts due to the problems with her work coming in from India and the Phillipines, so now she's down to one account left and everyone I was working with has left already, shortly after I did. I'd stay clear of someone so insistent on using the offshore people and who doesn't seem to know how to employ US MTs successfully. This is a losing proposition and not a good company.
Accounts going offshore or VR. They are losing large account SM
because the hospital(s) is going paperless.
I assume they want us all on VR, so they can pay us 2 cpl or whatever they are paying the offshore MTs.
You can ask to be put on a higher level account, however, there is no M-F on the higher level accounts. They want you to work evenings and one weekend day.
never heard of such a thing
there are companies out there doing it including some MTs, that's how some companies are getting away with not downsizing...it's a sign of the times
I have never heard of such a thing.

Never heard a thing.
I sent my resume in the first day the ad was posted and sent a followup email the following week. Never heard a word.
No we keep getting more accounts because..and her is the thing..
the company does not charge near as much as other companies...very competetive. You have no idea the inner workings of the company nor would i want you to know. However, there is plenty of work and plenty of money to be made..no not because it is slave labor. Everyone works well together and as a team. Someone is ALWAYS there to answer questions. We help newbies get in to the field and make sure they are ready if they choose to leave, but none do.
I've heard the same thing..
The announcement is expected sometime in Dec - oh joy, just in time for x-mas! How thoughtful of them! not...
I have been an IC for 15 years, and I have never heard such a thing.
How would the IRS know what my schedule is or was. I just submit 1099's with income, take my write-off's, and pay my self employment tax. No where do I submit my scheduled hours or am I asked when filing my return.
I have heard of that same thing happening to
someone else and they were out of a job. Knowing the person it happened to and the quality of her work, I knew what she told me was correct and I would never apply there. I hope all their editors leave and put out the message that you just will not stand to be treated this way. As far as the outsourcing, I knew they outsourced.
I heard that all accounts are going to SR.
I saw the ad for 5 MTs but it doesn't mention anything about speech. If it is speech do you know the line rate?
Anyone heard more on the new accounts? nm
.
Have same thing, 2 accounts - 2 big notebooks.
One style guide is 36 pages and the other is 28 pages. Both opposite of what the other wants. After a year I still get feedback. You will get used to it just hang in there.
Haven't heard a thing about a sale.
Not a thing.
I never, ever heard of such a thing, even when I worked in-house.

loosing accounts is what I heard
???
Yes. The other thing that is upsetting is the fact we are QA'd on all these accounts we as you sa
flip around on a report in one and a report in another and are monitored for blanks yet besides. I think this is totally unreasonable to expect this of a person. Odd but I think whoever thought all this up must not be looking at the whole picture for sure and not to mention if you dont do the ASR you get the other dictators which I find to be more difficult. So what can you say.
I heard it was to be bought by some company out of the Phillipnes or some such thing.
:)
I tested with MedGarde and haven't heard a thing...
and I thought I aced their test. Anyone else have a similar experience?
That's the most dehumanizing thing I've heard in ages
Okay, I don't have any intention to going to Transcend even BEFORE I read this piece of information. I immediately bailed and am happily already working somewhere else with another PT lined up I start Monday 'just in case' (the old eggs/basket theory here).
But THIS???
That is dehumanizing, demoralizing, and REPUGNANT behavior on the part of ANY employer. I am sick to my stomach reading that, OP.
Vile does not even begin to describe the attitude of ANY company that would have such an attitude toward an employee having a family problem.
I WILL give this to MDI-MD, and I do not believe my sister MTs will argue. Those people were WONDERFUL when an emergency arose and we were called away, whether it was for a few hour or a few days. Never a word, except words of encouragement and to say they hoped things worked out well and to keep them posted. I, to this day, believe they honestly did have compassion in this regard.
But THAT is what those staying have to look forward at Transcend?
I am SO grateful I immediately jumped ship. I could never work for an organization that treated people that way.
I'm so sorry for your loss and for the extra unnecessary and INEXCUSABLE stress you were put through during your time of need.
I haven't heard anything. Is it all accounts and platforms? nm

Same thing in October, then accounts went to voice recognition,
causing low work situations at times. They push those jobs through VR and Exspeech rapidly and I found Exspeech to be one of the worst editing platforms I had ever used.
Hopefully, TT will pick up accounts in order to keep all those 25+ MT's they are advertising for busy -- because the jobs on these new accounts go through VR at a rapid rate, and regular transcribing disappears in a hurry. If these 25+ MT's don't like Exspeech method of editing, then you will most likely end up with lack of work very soon. It happened with the *big hiring spree* back in October last year ! The mass hiring of MT's are used to *train* dictators for Exspeech. The pay reduction is at the rate of 50% less for editing.
I suppose most companies in this business are going in that direction now to make larger profits.
Yep, I applied there, took test, passed it, and I was to be contacted, but never heard a thing from
nm
"United States of China" roflmao!!! That's the funniest thing I've heard all day!
Hilarious! Standing O!!!
Had the same happen here, heard the same thing, good references and good ....sm
job record will get you better $$$ if you are willing to promote yourself, search like crazy, talk to everyone, etc., but I have never been paid a cent more for CMT, what a waste, and all the years I paid my dues to AAMT, what a joke, they did NOTHING to better our field, just took the money for better conventions, as far as I can see.
I am not losing anything as those
do not apply to me.
So after losing all that, what did you do? nm

They are losing their credibility, though.
We started that new account just a month ago and already fighting for work. I cannot do this anymore. I cannot be tied to my computer all day long just to get my line counts in. Does anyone know a good place to start with companies?
Losing account
Do you work for the company whose name starts with F? Have you received info on a new account yet?
I was very panicked last week when I got this news. I have settled down a little bit now, but also I have started looking.
You have posting so much you seem to be losing it now
You are saying with a trust fund you would be able to make money on VR. Have you taken your medication today? Run along and say nite-nite to the grownups.
It's a losing battle
Or, at least, it has been for me. I got off on the wrong foot with QA where I am now and it has been drudgery ever since. Yeah, I was right in what I said and they were wrong or at least were not 100% right (a judgment call type of thing) but since then I get the crappy work, I get nitpicked on everything, and I think I am tagged 'the troublemaker' in general. I dread working now. Unfortunately, in this situation, if you stand up for yourself with QA you end up losing either way. You lose for the points being marked off and you lose for getting that label right out of the gait.
I'm sorry the Heartland MTs are losing their jobs, but
why the outrage over offshoring. They knew HL offshored work, yet they continued to work for the company. Is it just know that you are losing your jobs that all of a sudden it matters that they offshore?
Not the OP, but some of us are losing our ExText account and

Anybody else at Precyse losing $$ on taxes? Had
That's $281/mo loss of income last year due to both low work volumes and 50% line rate decrease with voice recognition. The wave of the future is not to increase our earnings but to decrease. They say the clients want ASR so they have to pay less which, of course, they take out of our pockets. When the CEO sends around his Precyse made wonderful profits crap, I wanna barf. Wonder how much of a pay cut he took to keep a client happy.
Spheris - Losing benefits???
Can anyone tell me if Spheris is taking away their benefits for employees? I see benefits listed on their website, but another company I used to work for says it is so.
This is a former company because that place took away all our benefits and paid 2 cents a line less. And we are suppose to be thankful to just have a job.
It gets to the point that you look for a place not that is good to work for but not as lousy as the one before. .
Losing good employees
They are about to lose another one...I'm a long time employee and just can't take it anymore. I work on multiple platforms and still have no work and the work I do have is 90% ESLs. I went from about 20% to 30% ESLs to suddenly 80% to 90% ESLs. You tell me these hospitals have no American doctors? It must all be going to India but you tell me why the Indians are not doing the Indian doctors? Wouldn't that be easier for them? I have had no raise ever since I've been here. Always told I'm at the top of the pay limit. I'm giving my notice right after Thanksgiving.
Losing primary account.
What happens? I haven't been working for an MTSO long enough to know (worked in house for the last 5 years). Could someone please tell me their experiences? I work for a large MTSO, so I am hoping that I can get placed on another account, but really, I don't think there are enough slots to fill all our positions. Any thoughts? Please HELP.
To losing primary account
Can you tell us which company? The moderators say it is okay.
We are also losing MS Word...don't know if we will need it for Triton or not?

Losing ANY job is no laughing matter

New Rewards Plan - Losing old benefits (sm)
I have been very happy with MQ for years now, but all of a sudden things are changing. After losing yet another Transcription Coordinator, the new one informed me the other day that SEs have a 20 hour per week requirement not just the original 4,000 lines per payperiod. I don't know when they changed this little rule (certainly not on any contract that has been signed previously), but I thought, oh well, I need to work more hours anyway. Christmas is coming you know. Bad side is that I had to submit a schedule for those hours and then received a memo stating we had to stay within a one hour time frame of these hours or notify (forgot her name). So much for flexibility of a SE.
Then, I was thinking my check was smaller than expected and finally called payroll and guess what.... They no longer pay weekend shift differentials for my accounts. I was "supposed to have been told this before going to DQS". Well, guess what again?...
Getting used to working on DQS has cost me enough in the way of earnings. I make about 5-10 dollars less per hour now, on the same account I have done since 1998.
Now I am just waiting to see what other little surprises are in for me with the new rewards plan.
I certainly hope there will be some good news. I have been pretty optimistic and happy with MQ for a lot of years, but this is beginning to wear on my nerves. My husband asked how much more I planned on putting up with. I think I would be best served to see what is in store for us, it might be a big improvement, and then make my decision. I suspect MQ has been overhiring in anticipation of some of us walking anyway.
Hope I am just PMSing and things will look brighter tomorrow.
If HL people know they are going to be losing their jobs, why are they still doing work for them?

It was happiest note in losing Dolphin
