LOL Everyone I guess that says something good about a company is upper management.
Make sure you get your facts straight before you call me upper management.
If anyone would like to email me, then that is okay with me. I dont know how to add my email addy on here, but if you let me know how I would surely like to email you.
It is a Pakistani company, all upper management are pakistanis.

I think it's actually a bit more ironic than that
As the Indian economy has grown with offshoring, so has the price tag attached to the workers. While they have an enormous population, they do not necessarily have an enormous educated population...percentage-wise, it's probably equivalent to ours. So now, much like here, the shortage of skilled workers has forced them to pay more for those workers. And, as we have already painfully learned, in the corporate world, the only loyalty is to the bottom line. Consequently, the Indian firms are forced to look for some place to get their work done cheaper, which now is the Philippines. The same things that made India appealing to American multinationals (cheap labor, English speaking) is also present in the Philippines, thanks to the long-term presence of the American Naval bases. If there is a bright side, it's that the work is getting at least geographically closer to our shores again, although admittedly by the time it gets back here, I'm afraid the line is going to make 7 c/l seem like a fortune.
Well, that's ironic
As I'm a pagan, so your Bible analogy made me LOL, thanks!
If these boards have no power, why is GP being sued and why are so many coming unhinged at the thought of it?
You're talking out of both sides of your mouth.
Isn't it ironic that you're the only
and it's not a bank thing. Don't forget it's done in INDIA. 2 p.m. there is already our following day  You must be very special and I hope they pay your well to come and post what a great company they are. Great is not the word I'd use.
How ironic!! Game just ended. Sox won.

Ironic since the people running it really do SM
have connections with different companies. Just don't feel like knocking themselves out. I can understand that.
I had same airhead test me. Remember one question as is it halter monitor or Holter monitor?. I am not making that up. Pathetic.
Hope you get paid soon - ironic how they
they boast about how the person in charge of this venture is sooo reputuable and then have have this drastic need to hair a lot of MTs on a venture that is still up in the air posted by the VP of the company (dependent on whether or not they GET the number of MTs to commit to their new unsecured Dictiphone venture)??
things that make you go hmmm? Sounds like a lot of of wind being passed...
Hope you get your check sooner rather than later. Only time this happened to me, I quit working the *day* payment was supposed to be received, wanted a few weeks, got the check and let them know I wasn't into being played and did no further work. No pay..no production. Period.
Larry is their quasi-retired delivery person...see link...had to have been posted by someone from MS.
Speaking of Dell, isn't it ironic that s/m
the first time you call to place an order, you speak with a pleasant, articulate American, but any call after that goes straight to India?
The last time I called Dell, there was such a communication breakdown that I demanded to speak with an American.
But it is okay for YOUR upper managment
to come on this board and bad mouth past employees, offer names to companies, and say half truths. So...I get it now, that is how the show runs, YOUR people can come on and say WHATEVER, but no one else can say anything negative about SHAPIN or it is slandering you? What kind of nerve does Shapin have? This is the most absurd post!!!!!
Isn't it ironic that "Integrity" would a part of this company's name?? nm

I made upper 40s with them 6 years.
My insurance was around $350 a month family coverage. I have been gone from them about a year.
Right upper corner of this screen sm
See where it says SEARCH -- ENTER transform, will bring up posts
ironic, since OP specifically explained about board answers.

I am not upper mgmt. I am just a Transhealth employee. They have gotten
 a bad wrap on these boards. I don't know who has done all this, but I can tell you that their current staff (including QA) are the best. The ESL account is a tough one but you have a good QA staff to help you get to know it and there are samples available for you immediately.
You may email me and I would be happy to share more.
Also, their insurance is available the very next month after employment. If you start on the last day of the month, the insurance is in place the next day.
  
TT have several levels of coverage; I took the upper tier ($500 ded., 90%). nm

I've made in the upper 40s and low 50s for several years now.
From 2 top nationals. Yes, it is possible.
Can everyone do it? No. Some people are better at it than others. Some can put their headset on, hit that pedal and keep on until it's all done. Others cannot sit still, don't have a very good skill set, are easily distracted or listen to too many complaints by others. Never let others help you decide how to feel about YOUR job.
Some of it will rely on your skill set, your mindset and your self-discipline. Some of it will depend on working for a company that you are comfortable with - comfortable with their set up, how work is divided, their base and incentive pay, etc. If you're upset, you'll not perform as well. If you're unhappy, you'll spend more time being upset than working and being productive.
Very disorganized. Unqualified ppl in upper managment
This coming from upper mgmt. Read other posts
nm
No, they kept me with all the layoffs, and my accuracy rate is upper 90s, so not worried about that

Their website touts themselves as being an "AMERICAN" family-owned company. Kind of ironic! n

TransTech upper sent out email for blackout on vacation for several days, so only a grain or 2 jobs
available due to some MT's on vacation *probably looking for job*. We are TAT up-to-the-minute, so NOTHING to get excited about at TT.
Same ole grab-it-while-it-is-there workload. LOW, LOW, LOW.
Hello Management
Give me a break! You are a supervisor, and I know who you are. Spare us this bologna.
SB
If only more management could be like you!
I'd buy you a drink as well! Thank you for the kind words.
Management again??!!!
kidding. "Excellent program", is that why everyone is leaving OSi, because it is so good??!!!
Management...don't you have anything to do?
If TT is growing by leaps and bounds, how do you have the time to get on here and contradict the truth? You don't like negatives about your company, but you're not perfect either.
I am not management -- I don't even
work for them anymore! You can state your opinion, but you are giving inaccurate information about things such as benefits and whether or not you can use ShortHand. Obviously I wasn't all that thrilled with them either or I would still be there.
lol, I have been an MT for 20+ yrs and many of them in management.

I don't know when the management...SM
was ever great, it was bad 4 years ago when I was there and from your description things haven't changed a bit since then. A bunch of office people with titles, the MTs typing all the work are ignored, avoided and treated badly. We used to call the office in Pittsburgh a kingdom because it was filled with people who never worked past 4:00 in the afternoon, 2:00 on Fridays...never to be heard from until Monday around 9:00 AM.
Not management
I never said I agreed with them docking your pay for errors. BUT, I did say that they only do it if you fall below 98%. Isn't this the norm? Keeping an accuracy rate of 98% or better? So why would you worry about being docked if you maintain 98% or better? They are like any other MT companies, they want quality reports.
Not Management
potatoMT RIGHT ON
NOT management and sorry you could not cut it. nm

Definitely has to be management ..SS
AMEN !!!
I am definitely NOT their management.......
or anyone else's for that matter. I am just a lowly pee-on MT with 6 years experience trying to make an honest living, and get nothing but lies from this company. I am looking for other work, just like the others who have emailed me privately, who also work for them now and are in the same predicament that I am in. Work flow lying is the main problem with this company. They say there is none, but, in fact, there is. They just turn you off. When there is work, why not give it to us??? This question has been asked by us more than once. Lots more companies out there, so we will just keep looking.
Why don't you take this up with management. (sm)
As far as bonuses being offered unnecessarily on weekends, I think they like to be caught up as best they can on Mon morning, unlike a lot of services who get behind on the weekends. I don't think it really has anything to do wtih overstaffing. JMO. I thought there is extra pay for Sat or Sunday anyway, isn't there?
Must be management. They are NOT one of the
best companies, the absolute worst one I have ever had contact with and if you look through the archives there are many, many more who agree with me.
I am not management.
I am a very hard-working, high-producing MT who has as much to lose as the next MT. I, however, am choosing to keep an open mind and know that my work speaks for itself and decided that this new opportunity for me sounds like a good one. More work, job opportunities, and help in becoming an even better producer sounds good to me; guess not to every MT though.
I'm not Management... (sm)
What, you think I'm a *plant* because I'm seeing it half-full instead of half-empty? LOL If you'll go back and read a couple of my earlier posts regarding this whole thing, you'll notice that I worked for MQ (until they were bought out by furrinners) and I've been around for 16 years as an MT - IC, SE, employee -- but never as Management.
All I'm doing is repeating (again) what was explained to the DRC employees in the web conference and what has already been posted here to be read by anyone: If the client requires USA-based MTs, that's the DRC side. Yes, they'll charge more for the USA-based MTs (who will be paid more than the Indian MTs) and it would therefore be in Acusis' best interest to have as many USA-requiring clients as possible. Yes?
(Unless, of course, you're going along with the suspicion that the Indian MTs will be passed off as USA MTs and the clients won't know the difference.) (And man's first steps on the moon were filmed on a Hollywood sound stage made to look like green cheese...)
NOT MANAGEMENT
But I love working for Transcend, what is wrong with someone saying that? They are flexible and do pay very well.
Management
Okay, now I KNOW management is posting here. I am the person who left 3 times. Twice due to medical. HOWEVER, I only made 2 friends at DSG who were not management, neither one is stil at DSG. Both told me to leave a long time ago. Both were treated badly and that is why they left. I never believed them.
Besides anyone who knows that I tried to come back a 4th time would have to be management, think about it!
I took Karen's advice and moved on. I am very happy where I am at and in fact, I am very thankful that DSG did not take me back as I would have stayed there forever and worked a lot longer/harder/dumber for less money than I am making now.
I do not have bad things to say about DSG, only that I was disappointnted that I was told I could come back if openings when my mother-in-law had recoverd and that was a lie or changed minds or whatever you want to say. I would not change the way things turned out. I am very happy where I am now. So THANK YOU DSG! They were good to me 3 times and 3 times I was charmed. There was just not meant to be a 4th time. Again, different people different experiences. Try DSG, don't try DSG no longer makes any difference to me. I will not dog DSG, but I will not defend them either. I hope Lynda's friend moves on as I did. I think she is better off if they did this to her after she stayed with them without leaving like I did for 4 years. 
Thank you - no I am not management.
But the happy ones are always accused of being management.
I am NOT Management
I have to say that my tenure at Transtech has been the most pleasant experience I have had with any national company. They do actually care about their MT's instead of just caring about the best way to screw them out of something. They are in a completely different class - and I hope they stay that way.
I am writing this to give encouragement to the disheartened MT's who have been bruised, berated, and battered by unqualified, uncaring, power-tripping people in Management - I have been there, and there is hope. There are good companies out there, and you just have to find them. Most of the people I know have not been fortunate enough to have found the perfect MTSO the first time around. We have job hopped too many times and it's no fun.
I miss the camaraderie of my former jobs in offices - but I make certain to keep up with my old friends, go to the gym, take continuing ed classes, go for a jog during the day, jump in the pool if it's warm, go to luncheons at church, get a massage, etc. It can get pretty depressing sitting in front of a computer all day, then when you get hounded for something that's not your fault in the first place by Management it makes you want to scream.
Job hop if you must. About 90% of these companies truly are awful, and the other 10% don't have the need to be constantly running ads because they are able to retain the BEST MT's, and TransTech is one of them.
I see where some companies have been trashed on here - and rightly so - such that they don't even bother posting ads anymore but they are still desperately hurting for MT's because thankfully MT's are not putting up with the abuse anymore. If you see on any job board, not just this one, companies who constantly have an ad up there most of the time it will be because they suck to begin with, not because they are growing and need new staff. You MT's know the companies I am talking about.
I wish everyone the same luck I have had. Now I am left alone to work, make more money than ever before (outside of the office) because I'm not constantly being harassed by a micromanager.
I would never want to be management, IMO
I would hate having to deal with the clients directly, always having to be reachable, and not to mention trying to keep track of multiple MTs. I'm much happier just straight typing.
Management
I hate to see the bad feedback all the time about OSi. I have been here a while too. Change is inevitable, growth is inevitable, and technology is ever changing - you have good and bad within every company. The account manager position is more like a liason position - you would be the representative for the company. Please, please, please - I love this company and I know we have our problems but if you plan on applying for this job you will be our first contact with new clients, make sure you are happy with OSi so we get a positive attitude from the start! If people that work at OSi are not having a good experience it is probably stemming from their immediate supervisor - TALK TO SOMEONE HIGHER UP! or better yet talk to your supervisor! If you dont communicate how do you expect anything to change?
New management
I do know that they are under new management.
I think your management is very
xx
J and J Management
Can anyone give me some information about J and J Management?
Because if they are management, what they say
s
Well at least now we know you are management.....
and probably aren't always quite up front with information here. I happen to know that they do outsource from time to time - and no, I'm not management, just a regular MT.
I am not management sm
I am sure that those in management who read this board, know exactly who I am. I am not ashamed of what I say here. There are certain things I would not say and have not said here, like what account I work on or who my supervisor and lead MTs are. I don't discuss our working relationship either. If there were a problem I would understand that half the problem is me because I am half the equation.
I know that some members of management at TT read this board from time to time. As I am sure they know who I am, they already know I don't say things I don't mean, my nose is not brown, I am not after being in management, and that I am honest and hard working, so I have nothing to worry about. There are ways to find out who some of you rumor spreaders are and I would not want to be YOU.
J and J Management ??
Anyone work for this company? Did not find them in the archives. Any info on platform, owners, pay, etc would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
