Apparently you've never had your own MT company. There is just sometimes no other option but to use generic replies due to the overwhelming responses to ads run. I wish people who post at this board would put themselves in other people's shoes and quit being so quick to judge. You have no idea what the person running that company might have on her plate. And to the lady who started the post...give the people a break. You didn't get the job. Move on.

Honestly, people some people are lazy...
plain and simple, sad but true.
Not too lazy?
Okay, so he/she was not TOO LAZY or TOO BUSY to come back 6 weeks later and take the time to send that rude rejection notice that was the subject of my original post. I stand corrected.
lazy has a lot to do with it
cut out for this job. Those are the ones who usually have all of the complaints.
No, this GP original post here is not the norm; at least not in my circle. Sorry you all have such a time with these MTSOs.
Hey I have an idea! Why don't all you whiners start one up yourselves!
hmmmmm. was that before she got lazy?
xxxxxxxxxx
I'm not too lazy to research this...
The only esoteric element about your postings is how you manage to transcribe with all of these conspiracy theories running rampant through your brain.
What a delightful co-worker you must be.
*YAWN*
I wish I was a fat, lazy, cherry-pickin'
MT who could work when I wanted, do the exact opposite as my company says to do and still keep my job! I am so sick of working with MTs like this. I work my hind of to get my report count for the day, usually having to jump between 4 accounts to get the minimum! Then I work with this girl who gets away with murder and the company does nothing about it! Why are the worst MTs the ones who get all the glory and get to keep their jobs to boot? I'm sick of it. This field is such a joke!
I think the employers are just lazy, and don't want to do the taxes. nm

Smile. Nope. I'm in this because I'm too lazy SM
and self indulgent to be management. Also really hate workplace politics. Been there long ago in another industry, done it, moved on. Isolated in the boonies now and loving the no-stress/no responsibility work we do. Haven't traded a word with my account manager (what's that title, anyway?) in months. Intend to keep on as long as allowed.
lazy and cowardly - she gets her lap dog BB to do her dirty work for her
so she doesn't have to deal with it.
She is meaning you will see lazy MTs while doing QA that no longer care

OSI managers are too lazy to keep their own accounts in turn around time
but if my a## were on the line my accounts would stay in Turn Around Time one way or another. Delegating work doesn't mean letting your turn around time go, patients are the ones who suffer the most.
...it can be done! I do this only if I have the wrong foot pedal hooked up & I feel lazy. nm

whups - sorry, reply to wrong "who wants to be" reply
if I only had a brain...
Again, sorry to BTDT.
um, only 1 harsh reply; the other 3 were in reply to the 1

People at TT have been paid! People who haven't well, maybe you did not make count and your check
after insurance deduction. Maybe your bank is holding it. Maybe anything! But we GOT PAID. This is NO LIE. And I am sick of this board. Nothing but disgruntled exemployees arguing with employees who like their job. Ugggg. I am working. BTW: THERE IS WORK (clears throat) remember that? Work?
Keystrokes is wonderful!! They are the nicest people and care 150% about their people!!
Excellent company!!!!
I worked for SS and some people were very RUDE and I am talking about the editing people in some
instances. It ALL depends on the person, as it does with any company. They paid on time and the lady over me was very nice, but boy the person in QA was mean to EVERYONE!! Never seen anything like it before.
Are people trying to scare people or just tell them what is happening. I am not scared just seeing
that things are changing very rapidly and not for the better for me. If I have no work and need multiple accounts everyone else is in the same boat now arent they that have my accounts. That is how people know what is going on.
Maybe due to the people that manage Amherst. I think MQ would be a lot better off finding new people
up there with all the problems you hear about that office. Seems like something is very very wrong there.
I doubt it. There are more happy people than unhappy people sm
at Medquist. I've checked out other companies but I liked MQ the best (I kept working at MQ while testing other companies).
SO right! People who get paid to bring people on-board -sm
to these companies (few, if any, are 100% honest, it seems), are going to be honest and tell you anything that isn't rosy and sugar-coated. Having a good prospective MT walk because the company isn't so great means less green dollars in their bank account every month. They're not going to tell us anything that DOESN'T make them more money.
More people will come into VR because the qualifcations to do MT are not the same. Lots of people w
to work at home. It's all relative to what you are used to. The nationals are counting on this. I think MTs will work cheaper rather than reenter the work force with no other skills than MT. The nationals are counting on this.
They named people's names. That is not right. People just sm
need to keep from naming names. I thought it was an informative bit of information, but when you name names, then posts are way out of line.
I would really like to see a truly professional way of talking about a company. I don't care what board you go to, somehow people just do not want to play nice when it comes to talking about people. If those people could learn to be a little more professional and stop posting names to their wrath or anger, then that will be the day I can say I am proud to be in this profession. When I see those types of things, it makes my skin crawl. If it were me being talked about, I would be livid. I certainly understand why the posts were deleted.
Thank you for saying that. Most people here just love to trash people.
It is against board rules though.
Heartland - we take care of our people people
I meant in quotation marks, not parentheses.
For people at MDI-MD that say they are out of work, I see they are hiring now. Are people still
running out of work or did they get more accounts. I am interested in this company.

I suppose someone could twist the post I put on the company forum as tattling. However, I dont see how. My post simply asked what the posts on MT stars were about. I really don't think I need to "alert" anyone to anything as millions of MTs come to this forum daily. Also, as some disgruntled ex-Transcenders said, their words not mine, Larry scans these boards regularly himself.
Another thing, I at least tried to go to the source and find out some information about what the OP was saying about unfair treatment, unfair pay and such between newbies and long-termers at Transcend. I wanted to know what the person was talking about since she wasnt going to explain herself. At least, I took it where it belonged in the first place, the company. Of course, there was never a reply as that person isn't able to post using her name.
Thank you for your post trying to divert the attention on to me instead of the issue at hand. If you are leaving or have left, why are still bothered by what I say?
My reply to your reply to my reply, lol
Michelle,
All I meant was that we could BOTH could be construed as troublemakers, depends on how you look at it.
You could also look at it that you were confronting people there at the company and trying to get them to talk about these things where you think it belongs.
There's a history, here, Michelle, that you're not aware of about why people won't talk about certain things on that forum, and you're not sure if they've already TRIED talking to management about it and got nowhere, you assume too much.
You're waltzing in here like you have controlling interest (hahaha, no pun intended) in Transcend and think you know how things should go, ignoring that there might be a history of why people are afraid to talk.
Really, though, it's not your job to try force people to answer any of your questions, here or anywhere else.
I applaud your courage to confront people about their claims, but learn when to leave it alone, that there may be a history that you weren't a part of, you weren't there yet, and people just want to commune to share experience and get a reality check.
And I'm sorry, I don't believe your only motivation was to get people talking about these issues where you think they belong.
There are some that have never even heard of this board and your post directed them here and stirred up a flurry of activity and I think you knew it would. So I hate to tell you this, but you've alerted several people to the complaints by bringing them here.
As IF it's any of your business, I have not finished my notice with them, Michelle, and was toiling whether I had done the right thing initially. I'm not about to leave anyone high-and-dry.
Let's see where you are in about three years, Michelle, you're going to be something else to deal with...Transcend better keep you on their good side.
Thanks for the reply (sm)
Do you currently work for them? If so, could you please share a little bit of information about them? Do you know what their line rate is?
Thanks for your help!

okay you got it...thanks!
Thanks for the reply!
And thank you for your honesty. That is very much appreciated!
REPLY TO Hi LEE. from KS
I AM NOT AFRAID TO POST MY REAL NAME!!
To set the record straight... I posted on here because I spoke from my heart which is the TRUTH about what I think from MY perspective on the companies that I have worked for in the past, just to give someone else some insight.... NO ONE from Keystrokes put me up to this, Not Lee OR Becky... OR not management of any kind, form or shape....
I just wanted to express how I felt about working for Keystrokes as I have worked for MANY nationals out there and anyone can e-mail me OR phone me and I will send you my credentials/resume to let you know this is NOT Lee!!! I think KEYSTROKES ROCKS!!
Kim Drietz Lake Benton, MN 612-486-9935 I'm not afraid to post my name.. BIG DEAL!! I will get off my now!!!

IN REPLY TO TT MT
Not only I have been transcribing since the ice ages but I have been with TT longer than 1 year. I have worked on many platforms and have been paid hourly, salarly, by the minute, by the line, and by characters so I too am familiar with different aspects of different line counts and I have never had a problem with TT before but I do now and now is my concern. I am not trying to badmouth TT because I have no problems with TT I just don't understand my line count and Debbie doesn't understand it either. My only question has been and still is "is there someone out there who have worked with this platform and know how this line count "really" works?" and if that is a question you can answer for me or if there is some kind of formula you have that you can make me understand it since you seem to know that your counts are correct then I would really appreciate it because after all thats all I am asking for.

How pathetic can you get? You need your husband's permission to post? My life is great - you need to save your pity for your poor pathetic self....if your husband says it's okay, that is. Adios!
Now that reply is really
Really not worth a reply. This "old hag" bets you're a 20-year-old stud, sitting there in your birthday suit, doing OB/GYN notes and getting your delights. Sheesh, yourself.
Never got a reply

Thank you for your reply
I appreciate it.

Could you expand on this? Why should I run and not look back? If I'm going to run, I need more info than that. LOL
Thanks for the reply!
Thanks for taking the time to reply! I am happily awaiting to start training later in the week!
Thanks for the reply.
Thanks for your reply.
I usually ignore most of the nasty comments on here anyway. I haven't found a company who was perfect yet, have you? I think I will apply with them right now.
please reply again
so I can respond via email to give you info to submit resume.
thank you!

I get the MTjobs newsletter every week usually on Friday and it gives a list of the companies that have posted for the week. Net Dictations was one of the companies listed.

Yes, I did work for them for a short while. .
Who is EFD? Thanks for your reply

Actually, this is my first reply to any of this
and I was on a 15 minute break. I'm not unemployed and I'm not angry, I was just pointing out the obvious. You really shouldn't make assumtions.
reply
Yes, I do, and cannot figure out why. I like the account and the dictators are not that bad...but for some reason cannot get the line count I did on my last oncology account. The recruiter told at interview that they pay for spaces, so it couldn't be that...however, I don't think ExText is that great to work with...especially when pulling up normals...it takes too long to do that!!!!
Thank you for reply. nm
