Metro is not the same as World Wide

In Reply to: World Wide - gd
World Wide is located in Yonkers, NY. I have been in their office on many occasions over the past 5 years, and it is by far the most bizarre place I have ever had to deal with in my business. I dread going there. The brother and brother-in-law are literally crazy. The transcriptionists look worn out. Just recently they have set up a new business to offshore to India - so they may be starting to wean out US transcriptionists. I would never say this about anyone because I do understand that reputation is very important, but I honestly have no idea how these guys have held their head above water for almost 10 years. It truly is a bizarre office.

World Wide
I have heard of World Wide in NJ, but not in NY. If it is the same company, they now also call themselves Metro. If this is the same company, I don't how much work they have right now, but I do know they are nice to work for, nice people, office manager is very nice.

To the person who heard back from World Wide Dictation sm
Have you heard anymore-got hired? I have a friend who applied and has not heard a word! She is not an MT (it said no experience) however, she has many years of doing insurance claims and would like to find something from home to do.
wide window
5 cpl to 11 cpl
Some then have bonuses
Average seems to be 7-8 cpl
Those who are IC working for that are crazy, IMO.
If I had an icon I'd insert a wide grin here!
Ditto that! :)
I sure agree with you about the lousy communication. It seemed to be a company wide

Our company offers a wide variety schedule
There are even folks that work both weekend days by choice. I don't see what the big deal is really. If an offered schedule doesn't suit you and the company is not willing to compromise, look somewhere else. There are a lot of options out there.
The S-Th/T-Sa scheduling must work just fine for the employers offering it or they wouldn't do it. Simple as that.

MT World
Nice platform, very simple does not have a lot of bells and whisles, but it is a nice typing platform and it interfaces with MS Word. On some you cannot get your line count, that was the only issue I had with it when I worked on it.
What in the world did they want to know?

USA is not same as MT-World
 MT-World is now ATSI - American Transcription Solutions. Good company, but a lot of turnover in the office. Lots of work right now.
why in the world
I agree! I think the same thing has happened to me at MQ. I'm still waiting to hear back from them after training. :(
MT WORLD
Any info on MT-World in Clearwater? Have a pending offer in radiology.
MT-World
I've been working for them for about a month now so I don't know how much help I can be, but everyone there has been very helpful. Any time I have a question, there is always someone I can ask. Get paid every 2 weeks and so far have been on time.
How in the world would you know??
I thought people could post anonymously. BTW first time I have posted anything about TT in a long time. Im just watching these days. Pretty interesting I must say.
What in the world is going on at OSI?
Seems to be big changes going on.
Why in the world sm
did they buy an MT school? I have my thoughts about that. Mostly that they are trying to get rid of the older (higher paid) transcriptionists.
Whether it is a true town hall meeting, and we get to speak, is yet to be seen. In the past they told us to mute ourselves, and they just said what they said.
I think it's becoming a dog-eat-dog world out there
When I first started in this business and on this board, there was never a bad post. Everyone helped everyone with questions, etc.
Lately, with the economy and the world the way it is, plus the fact that MTs don't get recognition for their GOOD work and, of course, let's not forget the crappy pay, there are a lot of unhappy people out there.
I read an article in the newspaper today that stated in a capitalist nation, greed is good if it serves a purpose; i.e., jobs and prosperity; but if greed gets out of control; i.e., bonuses for the upper echelon and nothing for the true workers, then the role of capitalism is in the toilet. This is what is happening in our nation today and everyone is either worried about their job or trying to stay afloat with all the negativity in the job market and so, the nastiness prevails and turns into the dog-eat-dog world we all fought against a few years ago.
Things will turn around again, but it will take years of trial and error now. Whether it will be good or bad will depend on the attitude of the people and government.
I don't mean to turn this into a political post but I, myself, have been biting my tongue towards some posters and just trying to live my life the best I can. With DH only working 80 days this year and not able to collect unemployment, I am the total breadwinner, so it makes me a little sarcastic and/or mean, but not enough to post nasty messages....YET.
You have to let the negativity go in one ear and out the other and move on.
How in the WORLD do they keep.MTs? sm
Oh, i know how...they get paid well by their clients and they pay their MTs 6 cpl........
What in the world?
Ok, I am cracking up right now. You seriously have some problems. No, I am not the woman who lost her marriage. I am still married and wouldn't lose my marriage over a job. This is hilarious and thanks for the laugh. Like I said, go get some comfort food and calm the heck down.  You are totally losing your mind. Here is you ------>  Here is me ----->
Why in the world would anyone
NOT give the best they can? That is owed to any employer by any worker. Second-best doesn't cut it in this job.
What in the world?
MTs have become a total joke. What happened to this profession? I am so embarrassed to be part of this industry. Some of you are visualizing managers as drinking brandy and smoking cigars? Are you imagining them yelling 'let them eat cake too?' I wish I could tell you how I visualize most work at home MTs, but it might be a little too harsh for such a nice place as this.
What in the world????
Why on earth would an MTSO who KNOWS they are treating their MTs well and with respect, have any desire to come and visist this or any other board??? Only one way that my poor humble mind can see and that is because they KNOW they are not treating them well much less with respect and so they MIGHT feel the need to assess how angry their MTs are so they can plan damage control. I'm sure there are good SMALL MTSOs out there who do treat their employees well but I think they are fewer by the day.
One would think this board is for MTs to share their various experiences and those who are happy should thank God that they have it so good and those who are hurting, well it says a lot about the people who would put them down and pour salt in their wounds. There but for the grade of God goes you.
