What company is using this? Sounds like something new here. nm

Sounds to me like this vulture of a company
and is trying to cash in on the goods! Don't do it! Just when you thought people couldn't sink any lower....like the Heartland scum......you get vultures trying to take advantage of someone and kick them while they're down....makes me sick!!!!!!!!!!!
This sounds like the company I just left!
I wonder if the MTSO has changed the name of the company? If it is the same company, I think you are wise to drop them and do it ASAP.
Sounds like a horrible company to me
They pay 5 cpl, charge you if you send reports to QA, and only pay once a month. Also, someone posted an article about the owner below that was in BusinessWeek. It states how much debt she is in cuz she's not aggressive about making sure her clients pay her. Also, she charges 12 cpl, but then only pays the MTs 5???!!! Why would anyone work for a company like that?
That sounds like my last company...I have a better home now,
But I am more and more afraid of how long that will last with insurance and bills going up and wages staying the same or going down. Scary times.
Thta sounds like my company. They sm
don't want to pay overtime, yet they have to keep TAT.
I have a crazy picture of one company sending work over to another company!
(That's a joke, before anyone has a knipchin or anything, IT'S A JOKE.)
Actually that's sounds like something the company bully would say.
They let other personal issues bleed into their work environment and feel they have the right to bully all the MTs they can, because they want everyone to be as miserable as them. There is no room for rudeness to anyone by anyone. Thankfully I work at a company that would never tolerate that bad attitude and people treat each other with respect. It is very refreshing.
Sounds like you work at my company.
They never respond to calls or e-mails and, when they do, it shows they never understood the question or problem. LOL.
sounds like the company I worked for
Happened to me, too. By any chance, is this company located in Colorado?
The company sounds wonderful, by chance....
do you need a really dedicated Radiology MT????
Sounds like you work for the company/account
I do FT. I'm 17 hours short this week. Fortunately there is plenty of work today, my day off. I won't be able to get any overtime but hopefully I'll be able to make up most of those 17 hours.
Sounds like my company - starts with T, ends with D.
No work to be found.
Dang, sounds like we worked for the same company before!
I agree; I was scared to death to make a change, but the opportunity to work for KS just fell in my lap and after a rough (slow) start I can truly say I am glad to be working for them.
I was kind of impressed by the year-end survey, which came to me shortly after starting. I like that kind of proactive approach.
Sounds like the company I work for now. Horrible
it. The company in general is also very, very strict on QA, so there's never a relaxed minute as the newbie on the block, and the cliques! Its cruel. I feel like I'm in school again, getting left out and laughed at and even set up for failure. There is always someone calling out sick, etc., as you describe, and I am told I always have to be the one to cover due to seniority, or my lack of it. Its so upsetting that I'm just about to throw in the towel myself. I'm sorry I can't recommend anyone other than MQ QA, but I heard they are no longer hiring QA staff. They used to pay really, really well and the conditions were fine. Best of luck to you.
Disillusioned....Sue's description sounds like the company you just left
except for the rental fee, which they JUST changed recently, and even then it was higher than the one Sue quoted. I still say you got a much better deal with Amphion.
A company sounds strange because you didn't pass their test? SM
I LIKE working for a company that puts quality over everything else.
Sounds like a company I worked for. I did get paid in full but I sure know how you feel!
Can you post or email me just the initials of company and I'll let you know if this is the same one. It has happended to me by more than one company in my time as an MT
This company sounds great, but they don't accept satellite users. :(
Other than that, from what I can see, they provide equipment/software, etc. Sounds like a really great company. I would apply if they could look over the satellite situation. I have had no problems with three other companies using satellte.
Is Transliterator a recuiter for a company using VIaneta? Her post sounds like a commercial.
:}
sure sounds swell. Sounds like 2350 ln/day @ 4 cents/ln=$90./day
in order to figure how many line needs to be produced to make $500 per pay period. ie, how many lines an hour needed per 8 hour day --at your rate.
So say $450 a week would be $90 a day.
For example, if making 4 cents a line,need 2,250 lines a day, 281 an HOUR (to listen through and edit) to make this great wage of $90. a day FOR ALL THIS SAME SKILL, TO KEEP UPDATED WITH CHANGING MEDICAL COMMUNITY. nope Better at Jack-in-Box Pass it up.
well that sounds like a company problem, not a QA problem.
nm
Sounds like it and it sounds like you must tell them when they will be and no change them. Wonder
what you do when there is no work. Well, there will be a lot of problems with this whole plan if they dont get things straightened out with this no work situation.
Sounds like I'm the same age as you!

Sounds like she was trying to -sm
make you quit - probably because they overhired and have too many people. She probably thought she could bully you out the door and have one less person to have to deal with. I wonder if she treats others like that too.
I bet so. Sure sounds like them!!

Sounds like
MedQuist
SM - Sounds like you...
must know this owner pretty well to be bashing him this way. How is it you have come to such an opinion? Did you work in an office with him? I would be very anxious to hear more of your scholarly declarations such as the answer to ending world hunger and obtaining world peace? Please, tell us more oh "wise" one....
exactly what I was trying to say! It sounds like they sm
are on the right track! Good luck to them.
That sounds exactly like OSi.

sounds like mq
There is always someone telling everyone what excellent accounts they have, perfect sound, TONS of work....hmmmm....well, I guess it's nice that SOMEBODY is going to be able to pay the rent cause it sure ain't me.
Sounds about right, maybe even a little low. nm
nm
Sounds low to me (sm)
 I made $3.00 page several years ago. With wages lowering each and every day for the MTs, maybe someone else would like to share their thoughts. Good luck!
It sounds like they are not
very technical-savvy if they need MTs to come in for training! I'd be looking elsewhere.
They can only say no, but it sounds like they can't...
...afford to lose you. YOU are in the catbird seat. Ask for the raise. Really. Do it, and best of luck.
Sounds like BTS in MA. sm
They will take 6 weeks to send you a paycheck for 2 weeks pay, trim 30% off your line counts to supposedly cover headers/footers, and stiff you for your last check if you leave. Leave while you are ahead if it is them.
wow. Sounds like you been there, done that. Thanks for
This sounds like a

Sounds like a really nice gift. Mine must have gotten lost in the mail LOL
Sounds like
it might be what they call a vacation -- I wouldn't know really though, haven't had one in so long.
Sounds like...
the company I work for now meets those criteria. Email me if you'd like.
This sounds exactly like the what the
well trained office staff is supposed to say to negativity about the company. I worked for TC for awhile and learned the ins and outs. If you don't mind being overworked, underpaid, all the cherrypicking going on and don't question anything then this is a great company to work for. Not to mention if you are on the CEOs good side and work in the office you get paid trips to Disneyland for your whole family, and can give the MTs as much grief as you want and nothing is said. But if you do mind all this stuff, then as the first poster said run as fast as you can.
Sounds like....
.....Focus
OMG! Sounds just like MQ! lol

Sounds just like what my sm
husband has through work only the deductible is 1000.00 for in network, 2000.00 out of network. No payout until deductible is met,except for office visits. Unfortunately, only one of my doctors is in his network. None of my specialists are. And, the PPO network is very restricted. But we do have prescriptions. It used to be John Deere Healthcare. Now it is United Healthcare.
It sounds rather -
.
Thank you...that sounds better!
I could definitely live with that! I'm glad I asked more questions. Is Carlotta nice to talk to? That's who I would be speaking with and she seems nice. Do you get samples or are able to see old reports for the ESLs or any difficult dictator? That helps a lot, too. Thank you!
sounds like maybe........
 the police should get involved in this case. Too bad I do not know her, or I would definitely think about getting her and that other lady SOME jail time! Would serve them right, and then throw away the key!
Sounds like one to me

Sounds like
the same company I tried before this one, trained 1 days, worked 2 days, both with no work and quit.
It sounds like
somebody already figured the lines to be subtracted at 133 . . . is that gross lines from the original counting method? If so, then you would need to figure it based on 65-char so as not to cheat yourself. It could be quite a difference, especially when considering the weekly or monthly amount.
Also, if it were me I would tell them that my 65-character count line rate is higher than my gross lines rate (by at least 2 cpl), and that that is standard practice, which it is.
