Not worried its going global. Worried its going to liars and thieves.
There IS a difference.
I am glad for you if the flying monkeys
really did leave. I am hoping so because they were the reason I left (they caused my problems). I am glad for you!!
I took it and passed with flying colors
and it was not worth my time for what they are offering - to anyone who had not taken it - my advice is DON'T.
Which flying monkeys would they be? Initials are fine.

I passed the MQ test with flying colors putting 2 spaces
after a period, so I don't think that's why you failed.
I've ALWAYS put 2 spaces. That's how we were trained, and that's always been the correct way to type a document. I'm so sick of the BOS's bull, though the company I'm with now follows BOS, but we all put 2 spaces still.
Unfortunately this is how rumors get started. SM
Someone posted that some company that uses ExText deducted 30% for headers/footers. I have no idea which company does this but it is NOT TT. They do not pay for headers/footers and will tell you this up front but there is no 30% deduction in your line count. What you see is what you get.
Disregard any rumors and try for yourself, sm
They are a great match for me. I am very happy with the account I am on, like the stability of having a primary with backups. Pay is comparable with others. They do pay for down-time that is their fault. They do have incentive pay (and you can negotiate your line rate if you don't need benefits).
They are not for everyone though, not is any company out there. Rumors on this board in the past have been very misleading and some were just not true. Everyone I have come in contact with has been very nice, that's why I am still with them after 5+ years and not complaining. Steady work, your left alone to do your job, and the platform is easy to learn and can be very productive since you are on a primary account.
If you like what you hear from the recruiter, get it in writing and give them a try.
No one is starting rumors
We are just trying to figure out the line count problem. Do you really think if we asked management they would tell us they are skimping on lines or how they go about doing it?
This is how rumors get started.
Management at TT came from another company, why would they turn around and sell? The reason they have low work is the overhiring for the new accounts, nothing other than that.
the rumors can be quelched by doing a search
about their wonderful benefits program, a post which blew up in their faces. I disagree with your statement that their benefits are better than most and I base it on that post and my experience with other MTSOs.
Yes, TH beats the pants off KS for its benefits package, its professionalism, organizational abilities, going above and beyond and more. I wholeheartedly agree with the other TH poster and can attest every word about TH was the truth.
Heard rumors that Transcend does...
but can't confirm it. 7 cpl for over 10 years of experience is criminal.
Rumors don't hold water with me.
GIVE FACTS or keep quiet. You keep trying to down TT everytime someone posts a question. I have asked you time and time again for the FACTS which you have not provided. 
You heard....i.e., you DON'T know. You ASSUME. Why don't you go right to management and confront them and THEN AND ONLY THEN, come back to this board and post the TRUTH. Until then, stop trying to spread RUMORS!!!
This is how rumors get started. Most KS MTs are employee status and there
is a benefits plan, which I think is better than most.
Too many people take what is said on the internet as Gospel, which is sad when it is not true.
They are trying to go to employee status only unless you are incorporated with your own liability insurance.
They absolutely do not! Please don't spread unfounded rumors like that.

please don't try to start rumors. spheris BUYS your
nooooo, they are not merging.
Webmedx, not rumors, true story
Maybe you work on accounts that are not experiencing ASR yet. All I can tell you is I have gone from around 1700 lines a day to now struggling to get 1000 and get those only because I consistently sit at my desk clicking new report to be taken to another job, and many times there are no jobs available. I am not spreading rumors. This is a true story of what has happened to an employee, one who has been called a most valuable employee, one who has worked diligently for 3 years for this company and has over 30 years experience. And, yes, I have multiple accounts. In fact, at the present time I have 20 accounts as I have called several times to request more work so my family does not suffer.
I am not a complainer, not looking to cause ill-will. I am a concerned employee of a company who has not been straight foward regarding what is happening to our employment. Of course, this may not be happening across the board in all accounts, but it certainly is in mine and if you look at the posts on this board, I am not alone.
I am a good worker, reliable, accurate, with high QA, a producer and work on the most difficult accounts with lots of ESL. Do not judge a situation which you do not know.
Boy you must like starting rumors. How completely ridiculous.
x
I just do my work and when rumors crop up call and ask. Simple as that...
too much panic and speculation makes for an unproductive day.
Also easy to put an end to it if the company would simply communicate their denial of the rumors, as
x
Diskriter off off offshores - and on some hospital accounts - they have not informed the hospital
x
Jewish is the main hospital, St. Mary's is another hospital under their management. (nm)

Like I said -- I'm not worried. No need for you to, either! :)

Worried
I was told pay day was 1st and 15th. Do not know if pay day is different for employee vs. IC. They pay from 2 weeks behind. Your invoice from the 1st does not get paid until the 15th. It takes a LONG time to get paid.
Worried
I had an invoice for 2 days work on 11/1 and did receive that until 11/25. Two more invoices in since then and still have not received my first 2 week paycheck. I am functioning on no funds at present.
Worried at QT also. SM
I also feel like things are happening and we are being kept in the dark. The work and the pay are there and that's good. I don't like unnecessary e-mails, so that is good, but instead these days it seems that the lack of communication is ominous. It seems that they are cutting back on every expense that they possibly can. Raises seem to have stopped quite a while ago. Why discontinue the IRA program if everything is fine? Is the rumor true that they only hire ICs now? I am a little worried, but I hope the company is okay because I still would not want to go elsewhere.
I'm worried about that too.
nm
To the nut job who was so worried....
about someone stealing something that belonged to them in the first place -- YOU'RE A MEAN 'OL A$$HOLE!!!!
I'm sure I'll be kicked off of here now, but it's worth it ;)
I'm a little worried also
I worked in the hospital for 3 years before they sent the MTs home. Same full benefits, hourly pay, 10h PTO accured every 2 weeks, cable and 2nd phone line for Lanier paid by company; I use company computer and Lanier system, and union ratifies our contract every 3 yrs.
I will be moving to another state and, therefore will no longer be employed by the hospital so I will be working under 1 of our current vendors being I already know the doctors; the pay will be 11 cpl, but of course, now I pay my own medical/dental. I can still make good money being I am familiar with the hospital, but I think the medical/dental part is going to put a big dent in my pocket. The good thing is, coming from in house, it's good to know when the vendors are working (like weekends and evenings) where I can make jump in and make the best money.
I have an IC job where I am the only MT on the account so that will help financially (I HOPE)
SCARRRY
Worried a bit too
I work at Webmedx too and I absolutely love my job! I love my supervisor and I love the people at Webmedx, but I too am concerned about the lack of work. I have been having to jump on when it is not my regular shift to get my lines and in the last 2 pay checks I have not made my line counts. I have several accounts too. I am hanging in there for now though, because I love it, just hope it gets better.
Worried too
Sounds like we may be on the same accounts. I actually did get a part-time job that I'll be starting soon. I'm not going to leave Webmedx, just going to supplement my income because this is a trend at all companies that I don't see ending any time soon.
worried too
This is a problem that Webmedx really needs to address. I am not sure what the answer is, I just know that there are a lot of people who cannot pay their bills.
I am seriously worried about it -
In fact, I went and got an inhouse job this week that is part time and only pays me half of what I average typing at home hourly, but I know those 20 hours a week will be guaranteed pay. I am down right now about $600 for the pay period with only 2 days left to go. If those 2 days are anything like the last 2 weeks, I will end up $800 down for the 2 weeks.
I have the same thoughts that if you cannot pay for food and the basic necessities of life, then you won't be going to the doctor unless it is no longer an option. All these elective procedures are over for awhile - I wonder how many people will miss being diagnosed early for something and will end up losing their life anyway because they could not afford their routine care? I guess that is when our work will pick back up...
No, just worried. Being ignored.
Am I being paranoid? Yeah, guess that's it. Doesn't matter that they don't return my call.
Not worried
I have all documentation that they chose to let me go in their illegal manner and know that unemployment will be disgusted with them.
Yeh, worried about that as it has been at
the place I work now for the last, oh, probably 7 years and the dictation just keeps getting heavier.
Why would that be funny? Should I be worried about my job?
I just started 4 months ago and like it so far. Who did she sell the company to?
No follow-ups? Now I'm worried. How about this,
forget about the DEP question. What is a good company to apply for SE/IC status, preferrably one who will supply the equipment needed - or not.
Breitner - Worried
I was originally told that the pay days were the 1st and the 15th and then was told it was the 4th and the 20th, then the payroll people told me it was AROUND
Breitner - Worried
Sorry about that. Was told it was AROUND those dates by the payroll department.
Well I'm not worried. I'm going to retire at 50
so only have 5 more years to go. I can't see VR being a threat, at least not on my account. I do all Ops, mostly ESL mumblers. My hospitals are so particular about every little thing that they'd never accept the work that VR turns out. IF It should go to VR in the next 5 years, someone still needs to proof it and by then my wrists will surely need a rest and I could do twice the lines a day that I could typing.
Personally, I am always worried about the
companies who offer the sign-on bonuses. Know what I mean? I don't know - just makes me wonder...Call me paranoid!! Don't know much about them. I applied there and it just wasn't -- all that -- for me. Pay was rather low, 8 cpl, I believe. Very nonspecific about accounts and work load, etc, as far as guarantee of work. No other specifics. Oh, yes, no sign-on bonus then! 
I'm not worried,. How would you like to be out of work for
4 months like I was at my last job....now THAT sucks. Doesn't pay the bills.
TT has been very busy until lately and I'm grateful for the work...and even more grateful when there is a bit of a break since I haven't had one in a year. Hang in there. It will get better. At least there is enough work to get a paycheck. 
I would be worried about someone thinking that
If KS stated that you had to be at 1200 lines per day by a certain date, I would 100% believe that, and at best be pleasantly surprised if I did not make that requirement and they were understanding. But I don't think it is a blanket statement at all. I think they mean it. I also think that's an unrealistic requirement, and the pay for sure does not match that sort of pressure. 8 cpl is 8 cpl is 8 cpl.
Worried - Keystrokes
Just got hired by Keystrokes. There is so much good and bad about every company but it seems a lot of discrepancy between people who work/worked for Keystrokes who say they get paid OT and those who don't, people saying there's lots of work and someone who just said they ran out of work after two days. I was told that I will be put on a large teaching hospital, and find it hard to believe they would run out of work. Would really like to know the reality of the situation. I do not want to make a mistake in taking this job but have concerns given all the conflicting information and do not know what to believe anymore. I currently work for a company where I make very good money (even though I have to work harder because management assigns me the difficult jobs given my speed and experience), but recently management has become even more intolerable, and I'm looking to switch. I just do not want to get into a worse situation. Any feedback would be appreciated.
I agree but also worried.... sm
I believe it is probably a combination of all those things. I am concerned that some of these accounts may be going to EMR. What I hate is the lack of communication regarding this. If an account is in process of being lost, wouldn't it be nice if somebody in management would communicate to those of us who are trying to support our families. Maybe they could tell us it's time to move on either to a different account or even a different company because MDI-MD does not have enough work for them. Of course, that would be too kind... way too much to ask. Just let the MTs 'catch on' on their own over time and they will drop out on their own.
It is possible they over hired to stay up with what they said is the AAMT's new strict rules on TATs. Well, wonderful for MDI-MD that they are staying within their TATs with all of their new employees. Kind of like Wal-Mart, huh? Hire so many that none them can work full time and therefore none of them get benefits.
With MDI-MD, hire so many of them that we, management, look pristine and yet not one of the MTs can make a decent living.
Thanks, thanks a lot!
Webmedx - worried
Is anybody else at Webmedx worried about being out of work so much? I'm really struggling to get even 35 hours in a week without having to constantly jump on during second shift hours, which is very difficult for me with all I have going on in my home in the evenings. I'm on the Enterprise platform with multiple accounts.
If you've been there for over a year, is this a normal fluctuating trend for the company? I really don't want to have to get a supplemental part-time job.
I have just been there a year, but I'm quite worried. SM
Have multiple Enterprise accounts as well. Didn't really run out--except for the expected holiday times--for the first 6 months. I guess they just overhire? I'm with you, though. It's a great company, but it doesn't matter how great the company is if you constantly run out of work.
I'm not worried about the accusation
I'm not worried because this person is or is just like Wendy from Wolfstar. I don't think I am avoiding questions that anyone is asking...just questions that are proprietary. I'm sorry this is confusing for some but I have a national security clearance and I cannot afford for a company to think that I am passing along confidential information. For some of these companies that don't have me officially on their payroll that proprietary information includes the company and physician names.
Hmm. Why wouldn't VP be worried about
someone messing with her company?
how worried should we be about Webmedx?
I also had that account as a backup and yes, we knew a long time ahead of time that it was leaving. However, I also do not have another backup account and my work on my primary is very slow and erratic. I have been on it for years and never saw anything like this. Looking for the general feel other employees are feeling about Webmedx. My STM is fairly positive but I am starting to be quite worried when reading here. Any thoughts? Time to start looking? Or just a rough patch that we will get through?
And we were SO WORRIED you'd accept... nm
