I should also have added that I do not work
for Milner. I'm just tired of seeing all the bashing going on all the time.
New work types are being added to ML
.
yes, there is plenty of work.....and has been since the new account was added 8/4
I love it....
Nice people to work with. Lines never added up though.
I couldn't tell you about the benefits because I was part-time and didn't need them at that time. They use Dragon MT as their platform. I personally didn't like it.
I think this could only be done with a huge client base, or a huge number of say only

They are up for a HUGE account in Chicago. I work for one of the hospitals sm
and would be offered a position to work with them if it happens. I am very worried now. The last hospital I worked for went with Medquist and we all lost our jobs. They did offer us jobs but not on the hospital we worked for. I went to this other one and now this :(
Do any companies let you specialize rather than work out of a huge pool? nm
nm
Out of work here, too--and I have 4 huge hospital accounts!! GRRR nm

You've got to be kidding! It makes a HUGE difference. I sure wouldn't want to work with
I guess this explains part of the reason we keep running out of work. My office lost a lot of huge
accounts in the past year.
LOLOL

OSI's new suggestion box LOLOL
OSI never has listened to what MT's said and won't start now. They are old school their way or no way with awfully unqualified people who make all their crazy rules. I have no faith in OSI at all and am so happy to have 4 different job offers that I will make a decision on this week.
There ya GO!!! LOLOL thanks for the laugh NM

LOLOL sure after you edited it . .

IT'S STILL HILARIOUS LOLOL !

Voluntary effort - LOLOL
Go get a shower and wash away your nastiness. I agree with the poster that I see several questions that have at least 60-100 views and not one of those people responded to the person's question. This is an informative site and for that you obviously need people to respond. God forbid no one is paying you -GEEZ - just try to be nice and offer free advice. Try it, you might like it!
LOLOL--business owner
Like I said, you must be her kid. And just for the record, I was not interviewing for the job! You don't listen. I am a business owner. So I don't need to be hired, nor am I 13. I am an honest business for 20 years trying to help MTs make a decision. If you don't take the warning, that is your choice.
LOLOLOLOL! Yep, that IS the turth! LOLOL

LOLOL - I quit OSI 6 mo. ago, they still call
nm
Thanks, ADDED!
nm
actually, I added it up.
I added up where all the numbers are in parentheses and it came out I lost more than I had in there. I'm waiting for them to send me a bill!!
You don't know how that can happen? It just keeps going down, down, down until poof, all gone. Did yours increase? Probably not. They can decrease until they completely disappear and that's what happened to mine. Luckily, it was the smallest of all the 401K's I have.
How about they added an ad. I proof all day, can't seem to
do it when I don't have to.
Precyse MTs: Have any of you added your own
nm
Has anyone added Stedman's to the DQS or
nm
and then there's the added joy of a timeclock!
nm
Unless they've added even more
Mine was cut a couple days ago in a one-on-one phone call.
added to my above post...for the accounts that they have. nm
--
They added several new accounts this summer
so I don't know which one you are talking about, but I have been out of work for 2 days too and despite asking for a back-up account I have yet to get one. I do know that another account is coming on-line next month, though they have hired people for it and those people are probably working on the other accounts in the meantime, taking work from the estabilshed MTs.
they added a big hospital in september - nm
nm
Should have added that I would especially like to hear from those with hospital emp status. nm

They did say that, with the added "foreseeable future." Right in their own article about the
acquisition it says something about moving some of those jobs onto their VR platform, as well as stating that they plan to offshore more and more work. So they are concerned about making lots of moola, not the MTs having jobs. Somewhere in there it even stated something to the effect of they can make more $ by using FEWER MTs with their VR platform. See the thread above about how the current people have no work on the NIGHT SHIFT, watch it disappear at 10 p.m. every night, even tho they said they only offshore BECAUSE nobody will work the night shift. And yet the poor night shift worker sits there with no work and watches it go to India. That's a travesty, especially in our current economy with astronomical unemployment rates.
Yes, they added a tiny bit to the benefits, but now require 12,000 lines.
That was a low blow!!! It is almost impossible to get 10,000 lines on those nasty VA accounts and now they are requiring more. I will be looking for a new home. This sucks!!!
That account has now added clinic and there are 2 other accounts moving to it. Not sure why they
want the experience, except maybe they need to get them started quickly, and that is easier if they know it in advance.
BTW: The account did get easier as they added work types.
One would think if 5K was so huge ...
One would not let it accumulate to that. Only gamble with what you can afford to lose, and letting it get that far was a gamble. Though, sorry, you only wanted to hear how horrible the MTSO is (which it is horrible) and everything through rose-colored glasses about your friend.
I know about TT's huge hem/onc
account but isn't it totally VR? In fact I thought they had 2 big hem/onc accounts and both had gone to VR? Am I wrong about that?
huge thank you from me, Have done it
and forwarded to all I know. Have already heard back from one senator, and I was the 49th person from Texas to sign that petition. Thanks again. Have you put it on the politics board?
Not small, not huge. When I was there it had 350+ MTs.
x
I think there are a huge number
who lie about their qualifications and experience. The company I contract with has hired MTs who claim to have 10 years experience. Their final product looks like they are recent graduates of IHA who failed high school English.
Because the accounts are huge
Yesterday was a holiday, so many docs took a long weekend. Transtech is not a company to jerk you around, if they promise work, you will have it.
There are HUGE variables
Formulas that MT companies give as average are usually based on average work that a MT is well versed in - which companies do not always make available to MTs then act surprised. Duh. Connections, software, familiarity, accents, account types, etc., etc. are huge variables for production and should be considered. Left on the same work for awhile I used to be capable of producing 2,000-2,500 lines, but that changes if my work is changed or if I'm put on a subspecialty I'm not familiar with. It's why companies that have people on a zillion accounts and are not rewarded for it have unhappy MTs. People making huge counts are usually people who are happily typing away at familiar work. Been there, not there now, and am miserable and burnt out.
It was a mistake and not a huge one...
GET OVER IT! The poster said they were sorry about the mistake twice now (I wouldn't have after the first time), and it's not that big of a deal anyway! What are you this guy's wife/mother/sister or something? I can't imagine getting so upset about a post about some guy you worked with that again was a MISTAKE?
Take a Valium or 12 and settle down, LOL You keep calling someone out for making a small mistake that's is not going to hurt anything or anyone and who already apologized twice! Plus, your getting yourself frazzled over nothing.
TT has just taken on several HUGE clients
That is the reason for the ad
huge insult!!
I agree! This is such a huge insult to our profession. I started out with Focus on Edit Script at .04 cpl also, and would recommend them to get a start. The are other companies who pay a little more, but .04 is usually the norm. Please, do not go any lower than this. Focus is always hiring, as many people do start there and move on, but I still work for them part time and have never had a problem with them, despite the negatives I have read.

HUGE APOLOGY DUE HERE
I APOLOGIZE sincerely about my comments regarding Transolutions out of Illinois. All these companies sound so much alike anymore these days that I confused Transolutions with another company (I would say which one, but I believe I've said quite enough)! I'm MORTIFIED to have said what I did above.
To my knowledge, Transolutions DOES NOT offshore. They're really good people, too. The company to which I was referring above is a different company altogether located out of Atlanta, GA.
I don't often post, but I'm zipping my lips for a while. Sorry to have caused this confusion.
That is a huge yes..no doubt about that one.
And since they got their new investors in the last what, year or so, the offshoring has increased. I look for more changes to come as well.
There's a huge difference
The abuse is far worse on-site. I was pulled to do so many other things it was not even funny when I was on-site. I'm finally home and glad to make the money I deserved for a lot of years.
E-mails - you can hit delete. Meetings on-site you have to sit there while they drone on and on... Boring! I could get a load of clothes in or clean the litter box out and back to banging out some lines.
Yes the work needs to be done, but gosh it's easier not having to rush to get a shower, head out in the dark in the winter in the early a.m., fight the traffic (none of this is paid). I'd rather spend that time seeing my children and hubs off to school and work - much more pleasurable...
IMO... Happy Holidays!
MQ's huge losses
Maybe, as we Los Angelenos say, their karma is catching up with them. Hope so!
I never worked at the Q but TT is a huge
Good luck. You won't regret it and you will wonder why you didn't check out Transtech sooner than you did. Never too late...
no, that should have been a huge red flag,
that the pointed questions were never answered, which was uncharacteristic. Instead, they would answer about a new account request, or schedule change, but NEVER answered the important questions. I have not addressed the new e/m address for concerns, as I plan to jump ship anyway.
It is very possible to get huge lines on VR
but it all comes down to whether you have a good platform to work on. I have absolutely done 500-600 lph with my platform on some days and I could never straight type that much if my life depended on it. When I was put on VR, knowing my pay would be less, I figured up how many lines I would need per day to make the same money I had done with all straight and that is what I strived for. I do think some rules relaxed when VR came in but I read through each and every word. What I really dislike is we were told to leave ESLs reports as is and unable to clean up the reports there.
attitude. I also think it makes a HUGE
difference if you like the account your on. I hate my account and have requested to be moved on numerous occasions. I work my schedule. I work when they call for OT. I don't call in. So please don't preach to me, I have worked the worst accounts and the worst shifts without one complaint. However, I would like to be treated with some respect. The office I work out of has totally changed in the past 3 months and not for the better. I used to be just like you - all was good. I hope your good fortune with them continues. Just don't be so quick to judge others and say they suck as you really don't know the whole picture of their situation. And by the way, I don't have a husband to fall back on either, but I do have a child to feed. We are not bad people because we share a different opinion that you do - that is our right and as I said everyone is different situations.
