Liz doesn't report to Alex anymore?

She may run the day to day operations, just like a lot of people at Transcend run that end of the corporation. But they all still report to the higher-ups and any upper-level corporate changes made would also include MDI-FL, since they are a subsidiary of Transcend. If Transcend suddenly decided that all employees will operate on the same pay/benefit scale corporate wide, that would also include the employees of MDI-FL. I'm not saying they're going to do this, but I'm saying that Liz may control certain aspects, but she isn't the final say. Things could change at the drop of a hat or the whim of Transcend upper-level management.

Who doesn't anymore?
Fact of life. More Editor positions now available, less typing, hourly salaries.
SBC doesn't allow MTs. Many long distance providers don't anymore because of how many minutes
This MDI place really needs to get out of the stone ages already and go internet files like other companies have already been doing for years now.
TT doesn't care about their MT's anymore; just under Dictaphone's direction and OVERHIRE du
knowing that they were going to lose MT's due to the recent strong enforcement policy that every MT going to VR and low PAY. They hired early to take care of the loss of MT's due to this policy.
Most of their accounts were acquired through Dictaphone and are Dictaphone controlled!!!! TT has picked up an account or 2 on their own, but most work is handed down by Dictaphone.
Of course, there is always TT mgmt's excuse of it being a holiday, doctors on vacation, low census at hospitals due to patient's not getting admitted due to a new year with insurance new deductible, and of course, that always EXCUSE of new accounts coming onboard (and NOT), but we can't tell you about it !!!!!
They are actually trying to get rid of MT's who have tried VR and did not like it, so are continuing to get paid their normal, low line rate by doing straight transcription, like we get a FORTUNE at TT anyway for straight transcription. But mgmt has to find a way to keep their paychecks GOING UP AND UP . . .
Not Lee. She doesn't come here anymore. Too hard to read the lies from people who were fired fo
poor quality, poor work ethics, cherry picking, disappearing for days on end, not covering their shifts or line counts, crazy HR people (both were nuts and evil).
Good and bad at every company including KST, MQ, Spheris, Transcend, etc.
If you're extremely lucky you get 9cp. Experience doesn't seem to count much anymore. nm

Doesn't cost anything to report 'em to
alex-med, inc
Hi, I was wondering how many MTs sent a resume to Alex-Med, Inc. and who had gotten a response? Thanks
Alex-Med, Inc.
Has anyone ever worked for Alex-Med, Inc. in Virginia?
What gives with Alex-Med? Anybody know anything @ them?
Alex Med
Check post by me2 on 03/01/06, very accurate. Nothing has changed except she doesn't pay by the gross line but the character line. She pays on time but verify what you should be paid by what you actually did get paid. Sometimes this does not match.
Alex-Med
Lots of extra work in form of maintaining daily log sheets, updating and inserting addresses, and updating forms and templates. Otherwise, the work is there and you get paid on time.
Alex-Med
Just wondering if anyone has applied/heard back if they have applied. Also, the post states to send resume in an e-mail, but I did not see one listed. If anyone could pass that information along I would appreciate it. Thank you.
ALEX-MED
If they can't post the ad correctly, what type of company do you think they would be to work for?
Try DTS, they are getting new accounts, and pay on time, employee status and pay a pretty good line rate, and it's a true 65 character line with spaces. I am very happy at DTS. They don't make you wait a month to get paid either. I started at the end of a pay period and got a small check for almost $200 for a couple of days work. They also pay 4 hours of training.
Highly recommend them, VERY NICE PEOPLE! Good QA department no Gestapo.
Alex-Med, anybody edit for them? (sm)
 I was interested to know how they are to work for, pay on time, steady work flow, sound quality, that kind of thing. Any insight is appreciated.
Any info on Alex-Med Inc? I think they are in VA. Thanks!
Any new info on Alex-Med, Inc?
What little I can find is from last year and earlier. Thanks in advance.
It's all the same thing. Alex that runs MDI-FL also
Even though Larry is in charge, it appears to be by title only because even he defers the final say to Alex. So anything done at Transcend has to have the final stamp of approval of Alex, who also has the final stamp of approval at MDI-FL
Alex-Med -- did they make a mistake in their ad?
The line rate begins at 2.5 GROSS for an IC position... It doesn't say whether it is for transcription or editing?
That doesn't sound right.
Not bashing, just wondering.
Any new information about Alex-Med? Last post I saw was from 2006. sm
That post was not so flattering, painting the owner in a not-so-pretty light. Anyone work for them currently? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
Doesn't apply if your OSI account doesn't use Ichart.
It is the Ichart only for OSi where you are cheated.
TT doesn't pay for spaces or ExText doesn't

That doesn't fly - KS doesn't offshore

Not too much anymore
Generally they don't want you working for another company in the same geographical area, but don't say too much about having other jobs. They know it's hard to make a decent living with one. I work for one national as an MT and for a smaller company as an Editor and either cares, they just care if you slack on one to work for the other.
That was last mo. Before that I used to do okay, but that isn't possible at MQ anymore. nm

Yup, most definitely. Can hardly get 200 lph anymore.

Rae are you out there anymore?

Do you have to use their CPU or don't they do this anymore? Thx. nm

I don't think she is there anymore.

RUN....they don't do DD anymore

They don't anymore.

Not there anymore but the same
experience because if you ask a question you get many different answers and you never know what one is right. I hated the platform and QA was the rudest QA I've ever encountered in my 7 years of doing transcription.
He doesn't trust VR, or doesn't trust his MT to train it correctly?
Or perhaps his MT(s) has/have been filling his head with horror stories about VR and how it is a lawsuit waiting to happen?
Personally, I don't see any reason an M.D. would not trust a VR program, unless he's seen the products of a report edited by a less than competent MT who didn't do their editing job appropriately.
Not anymore. Martha is gone. NM

Don't work there anymore,
so I can't check. Just wondering if it someone who deserved it or someone who was backstabbed.
I don't work for them anymore because (sm)
my phone started ringing off the hook for new local accounts, so I had to leave them, but if that hadn't happened, I would have stayed. Very nice, very easy to deal with, always pay on time every week, great accounts.
They don't want to pay benefits anymore.
These are all trip ups for you to lose your benefits. Power outages, emergencies, nothing matters when it comes to adding up to 40 hours, without which, you become a part timer without benefits - only production and PTO time is accountable towards those 40 hours - and about that so called wonderful PTO time most of us just starting accumulating 11 months ago:
In the 2080 hours which make up a "production" work year, you are now expected to produce 2000 of them with no exception other than the 80 PTO hours. In those 80 hours you must fit vacation, sick time for you and kids, holidays, personal time of whatever kind (keeping in mind most of us are the glue of our families;i.e. the mother). It was better when they didn't give any PTO and you had reasonable, practical, human beings in a office to confer with about when you needed time off - and by the way - if you worked in a 9-5 job, your production time would be 6-1/2 hours a day, not 8.
This, being done to educated professional people who are NOT easily replaced? I think not . It's not worth it. There are still plenty of doctors out there who are willing to work one-on-one with an intelligent person rather than to be slickered by some smooth talking corporate job hunter. So, it's good bye to being a company employee for me.
Same here. It's very difficult to get anymore than 200 lph
Am considering quitting also. Have averaged 300-400 lph at any other place I've worked. I also agree with you about the emailing bit. After every update about how much work is on the system, it's ALWAYS followed by an email from the owner about a minute later telling you to either stretch more or threatening you with their PRN Program or that you'll lose the work to offshoring, etc., etc...
Have nothing against anyone there, but I very rarely ever break 200 lph working on their hospital accounts. Bayscribe definitely gives low line counts.
After 12 years of doing this, I don't need them anymore. I think that KS was being
hard on me because I have had to take a lot of time off, often at the last minute. They just don't care that I am depressed and have a lot going on.
That's the problem with these big companies. We are just a number. When they were smaller, they would cover for a person in my situation and care, but now they just criticize work and get picky picky picky about it. They forget the times that I pitched in on my days off and just focus on the last few months. THAT is why I am mad and frustrated. They treat everyone like a number. I think this industry is in trouble because of the big companies.
I guess we won't see their ads anymore.

Hardworking MTs, if u can't take it anymore
This career has careened into the toilet. If you are a good MT and can type fast and have good grammar, there is always a job for you as a legal secretary. This is NO JOKE. They will hire you without legal experience. They do pay very well. Your job will never be replaced by an Indian or other offshore person. The medical benefits are not always great but sometimes they are. Just know that you do have another career waiting. I am not saying lawyers are sweet to work for, but they do pay, they do give generous bonuses at CHRISTMAS, they let you say Christmas even if they are Jewish. They will become very dependent on you, as lawyers can't tie their own shoes. Think about it!
Sad as it is, nothing is sacred anymore.

I never hear about QT anymore. Are they still here?

I wonder if K.C. will have a job.. there are no 'U.S. Operations' anymore to be VP of!!! nm

That's all it ever is to ANY company anymore.

Not so frustrated anymore
I was frustrated a little while back. My account manager quit and I wasn't getting paid for my 2nd shift differential, but now things seem to have settled down. They have a new person doing payroll, and everything seems to be fine now. I have always loved the account that I work on and I even just got a new secondary account, so things seem to be getting somewhat back to normal there.
Does anyone not assert themselves anymore?
I am sure i will get bashed for this, but frankly, when taking a job, why not say, could you please put me on the account that i am going to be on long term? It makes sense for them to allow this so you will not waste more time learning specs, etc. If it is a difficult account said company should let you know that or they aren't worth working for in the first place. You can win if you ask questions and say what you want. If they don't stick to their end, fine, leave.
Anymore info?
Do they treat their employees well, pay on time, have plenty of work, etc.? I am kind of on the fence about leaving my current company for them. I heard that they do pay a little less. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
I am IC and do not use IM to communicate anymore - sm
It was just a way to watch me and for them to treat me as employee and not IC...no more of that.
Who was that with and why don't you work on it anymore? nm

One of the AC is "suddenly" not an AC anymore

"Network" -TT (I'm mad as **** and I am not going to take it anymore!
For those of you who remember the movie.
