Part of the reason I replied was because I did go to management, several times in fact, and either there were no replies whatsoever or the replies were in disagreement with others in management, leaving me wondering which one was correct, or they were replies to simply pacify with no intention of correcting.  I'm not trying to flame the company. If my experience seems like a flame, it is because there is a problem and exposing it is like exposing dirty laundry, I guess.  It isn't meant to dissuade anyone or persuade any else for that matter.  It is simply MY experience.  Like I said before, I am not a disgruntled employee.  I am merely experiencing some things in the company that differ from what others are going through and I am simply expressing my experiences on this forum because of what I stated before about intimidation coming from management on the internal forum. 

You are absolutely right that there are many, many employees of Transcend that are extremely happy.  I'm not among the ones who have flamed anyone for posting postive experiences. I have/had been one of those happy employees for years.  There are also many that have been so fed up they have quit. There are also current employees who are in my situation as well, but are afraid to talk about it.  At this point in time, I fall in the middle grouping.  I'm not saying it's a bad company to work for.  Again, I am merely expressing my experience, and has been said many, many times before, I'm quite confident that people on this board have the ability to know what is best for them in a company and aren't going to let the posting of a few happy cheerleaders or a few disgruntled ex-employees be the basis for the decision what company to choose or not to choose. 

All I am saying is that if you are the poster who feels that he/she can work whenever simply because it is inconvenient to work the shift you had committed to, please don't assume that I hadn't talked to management about MY issues and try to point the finger and make accusations about MY motives.  This board is about the pros and the cons.  Unfortunately for me, my circumstance falls in the latter grouping and I shouldn't be lumped into a group of people flaming or bashing and told it is unfair for me to speak about my experience when I have tried all other internal avenues to no avail.  If my experience seems like flaming the company, there would be no flame if there was no ember to fan, so I should have that accusation pointed at me simply because I discuss it?? That is what's not fair, and since I did say I didn't want to argue, I'm not going to keep the discussion going with banter that gets heated or flamed to the point the whole string gets deleted.  Thanks for your input and have a nice day.

I worked for this company a while back & loved the job.  I say to anyone out there reading the same rubbish I did, use your own judgement about a person/job and don't let bitter faceless people influence you otherwise - and THEY talked about being rude?!!!  If I wasn't forced to give up the vet op work (family reasons), I would never have left!  New clinics kept opening every year, and the owner always did her best to keep me informed and made my job as easy as possible!  Some people prefer to work for large transcription companies, but I prefer to work for smaller companies, where you are recognized as being an indvidual that is an IMPORTANT member of the team.

Yeh, right.  She was rude to you AND THEN offered you the job?  Come on!  It sounds more to me like you stunk on the easy test and are bitter about the results!

I think all the anger you're seeing from MDI'ers is because we really WERE led to believe that MDI was a very solid, responsible company that took great interest in their MTs.  And in fact, this has always been true.  I have NEVER had a complaint with MDI and have truly valued my job with them.  When I was hired, their ad said they were looking for people with 10 OR MORE YEARS OF EXPERIENCE!!!  I had never seen such a high-level expectation in an MT job ad before, which is why I applied.  And they maintained that level of competence throughout.

So this acquisition comes as a genuine shock to all of us, more of a shock perhaps because I think most of us have had a very good personal relationship with MDI.

It may be that this Transcend acquisition will NOT be quite as horrible as we all think, and I hope it isn't,  but either way, the fact remains that our relationship with MDI will change and eventually disappear, and we're quite sorry for that.  I loved this stinkin' company and respected it, and I'm sure my fellow MDIers did too.  But life is about change kids, so away we go.....................!!!!

I absolutely loved working for Medware.  I had to quit due to personal reasons, but they said that they would hire me back whenever, and believe if whenever comes around, I will be back.  Wonderful people to work for.

kick myself everyday for not keeping up w/ my line counts.  I was let go last May because of the low productivity, but for over 3 years my acuracy rate was very acceptable.  I was good at what I do, just not good at producing it fast enough.  The platform is very MT friendly and pleasing to the eye and the IT staff is extremely knowledgable about Lotus Notes.  The editors and mentors are always ready to answer a question (no matter how stupid you may think it is), and they are quick to remedy any situation. 

I was unemployed for 7 months following Axolotl and recently started with an established company.  I'm sure I will like this company as well; I'm pretty easy to get along w/ and quick to learn; but I'd love to be able to say I am an Axolotl employee again (I'm still too embarrassed to show my face there).

If you are looking for one of the better companies to work for, Axolotl is your best bet. But, just like all companies, numbers are the bottom line:  You pride yourself on producing 'acurate transcription', but if you can't produce 'fast and acurate transcription', move on.

And I love the idea of people being made to pay for their own foolishness and cheapness!  Serves him right! 

But, what makes VR seem like a good idea is that when it does not need to be on constant life support and works just a LITTLE better, an employer still gets our expertise as editors for a fraction of what we used to be paid as MTs.  And many of us believe the propaganda put out by our MTSO that, sure we'll take a 50% or more cut in pay, but be able to do 3 times as many lines, so the switch will be a GOOD thing and bring us more money.  They have to try to sell us on the win/win scenario because otherwise nobody would give it a chance.
