people who harp on the same thing over and over again merely to get attention. If we ignore you, you will go away (I hope).

Do you use the expression HUH? as much in
xx
Love your expression s/m
rodent's behind. LOL I used to be a TT rah-raher back in the day when they were really the best company around. That ceased over a couple of years ago. Don't plan on going to work doing anything but if I did it would be cleaning toilets before doing MT. I really need for Millie Willie, or whatever her name was, who posted that gourdpainter should put that in her pipe and smoke it when apparently you TTers had a day or so of plenty of work. She needs to send me some more fuel for my pipe, it's really getting low. LOL
Bite the Wax Tadpole??? No, I have never heard that expression before, please explain ...
You learn something new every day..
I'd bet that you torture animals, too.
Oh my golly! Your personal vendetta against Transcend got too far down, so you felt obligated to start it up again in a separate thread? What in the world is WRONG with you? 
Exactly. People still say 'dumb animals', not
At least not in a language that very many humans can understand.....
I do all that for my animals and people call me nuts!
It just depends on what your priorities are I guess. Some people do that for kids, animals, a house, a car...if it makes you happy--go for it! That whole life it too short and all...

YOU call us ANIMALS because we pay attention to correct grammar and spelling?
There is no strong word enough to say what you are.
With such an attitude and work moral you should get out of the MT profession.
Oh, I could feed a cat...
... but could not feed myself at the same time, or keep a roof over both our heads! And if I don't get fed, neither does the cat.
Please don't feed the trolls
zzzzzz
If everyone did that, maybe they'd feed us less bullpuckey
Lighten up
Thanks for the laugh!!
Gee, lighten up..mn

oh lighten up you two
You started it hmmm with your scolding answer to poster's first post. I think you are just embarrassed that someone pointed out your cliches with a little wit. Don't you two have neighborhood children to shoo off your lawns or something. When do you work you are lurking all the time. Two words for you Urban Dictionary.
Lighten up!

TT lighten up
I don't work for TT, but from all I read on this board, if I'm ever looking again, they will be first on my list. What's so bad about being called sweetie? Rather that than somebody hounding me constantly to produce, work OT or just generally be a crabby Patty. Some of these people just can't be happy no matter what!
Lighten up
I think these forums are full of really unhappy people who hate what they do because there is so much complaining and negativity here I can hardly stand it....
and before someone says then I should come here...
I just started visiting 2 days ago......and there is good information here. I just don't understand the attitudes.
Oh Lighten Up
Why do you have to give a nasty reply? If you don't like the question, just don't answer. Many people post on here for the first time and are not aware that archives even exist.
If you can't be helpful, then be quiet!
ADT feed never worked for me and had to toggle between too
o
I make less than that but have kids to feed
nm
It's time to lighten up a bit!
The doctor gave his patient 6 months to live.
The patient couldn't afford to pay the bill, so the doctor gave him 6 more months.
Sorry, couldn't help myself.
She just came here to vent, lighten up.

Geeze, lighten up
I just asked a question to verify what was posted. I'm not trying to stir up anything, simply looking for options. Isn't that what this forum is for after all?
It is their fault when they "promise" me I can feed my 2 kids sm
with the schedule that I picked.
I couldn't feed a cat on 6.5 cpl per 65 ccl. If I were you, I would polish up my resume sm
and see what else is out there. Wages are not what they used to be nor what they should be, but I'm sure you can find something better than that.
Good luck to you, whatever you do. 
I think it was an attempt at humor to lighten up what obviously would be a sm
depressing situation for the employees. I don't work there anymore, but I know I would be devastated if I had to take a drastic cut in my pay. Anyone who tells you that you can do 2-3 times the amount of lines doing VR has to have brown eyes because they are full of it!
LIghten up. I doubt the CEO of TT or anywhere else for that matter gives a hoot what us peons think, do, or say as long as we keep those fingers flying and bring them in an income.
Just my opinion.
i am not in this for competition, just to make a living and feed my family you
insensitive b*****
If you've got kids to feed and clothe you'll do
just about anything. Sure the rates are crappy, but right now the job market is terrible in just about any field. You can't just quit and get another job tomorrow. A job is better than no job and sometimes you just have to keep your mouth shut until you can go to school or find something better.
Insertion of some humor to lighten the mood.

Taking any job you can get to feed family is not an attitude...it's called reality. nm

So LEAVE ALREADY. nm
I will leave it, thank you very much
through these 2 rotten companies, I finally have found a good company, one that appreciates my work (which is very good) and one that does not lie to me or steal lines!!! So take that!!
Why did you leave?
Or do you still work for them? I had the same experience - just sent my paperwork back, but haven't heard anything, including training date, etc.
Leave it alone. I(SM)
If you don't like what they posted, that's fine. You have no right whatsoever to harass them for it and yes, that is exactly what you were doing.

leave your job
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, don't do it!:)
why did you leave
Transtech?
see below, and please leave me alone, if you have nothing
meaningful or thoughtful to post.
Thank you.
Why did I leave? SM
1. Lack of tech support. Computer once was down for 3 days before tech support finally got in touch with me -- despite my leaving 2 messages.
2. Cut in pay for ASR work. Line rates for ASR work were reduced by approximately 50% compared to straight transcription line rate. PTO accrual rate also almost cut by 50%.
3. Lack of communication. E-mails, not always but occasionally, will never be answered. I figured out this usually happens when they don't know the answer and don't want to admit they don't.
4. Nasty people at the Help Desk. You are required to have your IM turned on while working. If Help Desk needs a stat done, they can get very nasty with you if you don't get it done in what they feel is a timely fashion, its the end of your shift, or for some reason it doesn't fall into your cue.
why did you leave?

Why did you leave? NM

Please don't leave
We are not all malcontents. I, too, have worked for different hospitals and understand your reasoning. Hang in there - some of us don't blast (at least not very often).
leave
By staying there you are giving them life. Quit now. Anyone who works under those conditions can only blame themselves. Companies can't **** employees like garbage if there are no employees.
let's all leave
Okay all you TTers, let's leave this board for good. We know we have a good thing at TT.
Why did you leave? nm

Why did you leave?
Just wondering if you don't mind...
You can always leave
Some of us like our jobs. And I'm not the only rah-rah.
And for your information I don't get paid anything extra. I'm just not as jaded. Sorry 'bout your luck.
BTW...
It's funny how much you'll talk about the company and the director without putting your name. Bet you wouldn't say the same thing if we we're in an office where there was a face with those comments!
I would not leave
I work for a small company as an IC. The company knows IC means I work when I can or want to. I have no set schedule. That is #1 importance to me. But aside from that, the account I work on is really nice. I have run out of work on occasion, but it is not a regular thing and seems to happen mostly when someone new is hired. The new people seem to go in and work around the clock, taking work from those of us who have been there longer and tending to be the cherry pickers, which annoys me somewhat, but that usually dies down within a couple of weeks and then things get back to normal, with enough work for everyone. There are some ESL dictators but not a ton, and many of those are easily understood. The owners of the company are really easy people to work with, very understanding, etc. The pay is always on time, and I feel I earn decent pay for what I do and I feel like I am valued there. I would not leave them now or otherwise.
Now my second job is a whole different story. I work as a coder for a large hospital, and i would leave in a heartbeat if I could. I work from home and again have no set schedule but do have to work xx number of hours each week; I just pick the times to work. That is it's only advantage. The work is demanding and difficult. We get no respect for it at all. The stress is incredible as we work on a production standard that is virtually impossible to meet. We have 0, that's right 0, people in our group who meet the standard, and we have 27 coders. The expectations are unachievable, and we are constantly pressured to do more and more and more but we get less and less and less in return. Sounds familiar? However, this is the job that provides benefits for myself and my hubby, so I am stuck there for time eternal (or until Medicare kicks in for us). In my lifetime, I have always enjoyed working, but this is truly the first time I could say I hate my job and mean it wholeheartedly. That is why I feel for so many of the MTs out there who are stuck in situations that are making them miserable. Considering the amount of time an individual spends working, shouldn't we be able to feel good about what we do?
Why would you leave?
Why would you leave a perfectly good job that you like because two companied merged? Why not wait to see how it works out? I've worked for Transcend for five years and for the most part they are a good company...it would work AGAINST them to take you off your regular accts and put you on unknown accts then train people to work your accts. Their goal is to get the lines done and done well. Pay is above most companies and you do get paid for major holidays. There is PTO, benefits and 401K. Please don't do something foolish, especially in this economy.
why don't they just leave us alone to do
our job and put this wasted research money into something worthwhile?? Why don't they put it into finding a cure for cancer or something?
If YOU think you are a G.P. then YOU can leave.
matters what the person who percieves herself as a G.P. thinks, and if she WANTS to stay or go.
Please go find your new job and leave it be
I figured there would be a post on here after the forum. But let's not make it out to be more than it was. There was 1 post. That is because people's names are shown on the company forum. And on MT Stars, who knows how many posts are from the same few people. If Transcend was so bad, you would think that it would not be prospering as it is. I work there, I love it. I have had NO problems, NADA. I am not the only one either. I am sick of hearing the bashing. I am sure that there are problems there, as anywhere, but they are a good place to work and compared to some companies, a great place to work. If you want the "perfect" job, I guess you will never be happy. Sometimes you just need to be realistic and a little less spoiled.
