The sooner you are outta there, the better
believe me. It will only get worse.
I knew it would come out sooner or later.
Sounds great now, but sooner or later..SM
the technology will develop to the point that it can do all of it all on its own. You probably won't even get a thank you card for helping them put the technology in place and keep the work load current while they worked out the kinks to get to the point where they don't need most of you any more. It will turn out to have been a real cheap buy for them in the end. A little bigger piece to you now in order to ensure they eventually get the whole cake. Such a deal!
If the format is in place for use of VR, why not demand they just give it to you and let you use it to get it right the first time instead of having to take the time to fix it for somebody else? The only reason it makes sense to do it this way is because of where these companies eventually see it taking them, which is to a place that does not include us.
I use Charter and have no problems at all. Wish I had done it sooner. nm

You are right. I am bound to run out of stuff sooner or later
and energy and patience. It really isn't Transcend that totally concerns me, it's having to get another job again. Like people above on this board I went with a highly rated company around Christmas time and have to look for another job, because nothing repeat nothing turned out as promised there. Plus I have gone broke trying to hang on and see. I think I am totally disillusioned about the MT career after 20 years of doing it and just am waiting to think out my next option while I sell on e bay. That's all. I have a feeling a lot of us feel this way, and the other day I just about had it with all of the bait and switch in the 2 MTSOs I have been with in the last 3 years (worked for same hospital forever before that). Too bad hospitals outsource these days, at least where I live no one has MTs anymore. So, I am making a life decision here, and doing e bay while I think about it. But if I go to Transcend and it ends up like the other 2 MTSOs with promises broken, rest assured, I am quitting the profession completely.
I think sooner or later MTs will be forced to grow
backbones, because as the pay for MT work edges ever closer to 0 cpl, there comes a point where the MT will leave altogether or turn around and start swinging both fists. For quite a long time now, I've believed that the truth is, MTSO's don't really WANT the more costly American MTs. The sooner they can drive us all out, the sooner they'll have the excuse they've been waiting for in order to be able to just pack up and take it all overseas. Companies who actually want to RETAIN good employees just don't treat them the way MTs are treated.
The pay scale at MDI will be adjusted SOONER
rather than later. Try thinking 1 January, 2010.
Same problem here - had to start no sooner than 11 a.m. (sm)
had to work in 4 hour blocks. I could do my 2 days off 8 hours a day as they wanted with no problem. Wasn't my choice of hours, but... Then when they wanted the remaining 4 hours of the required 20 to be in one segment rather than 2 hours per evening 2 evenings of their choice, I just could not do it. I want to keep my FT job and can not work 12 hours per day anymore.
When I questioned the recruiter about the platform and things I had heard about it, she brushed it off as I don't read those boards. Nothing but negative on them.
All in all,the recruiter was very pleasant but I felt they were far to rigid on scheduling requirements. What would it be like later?
I could have understood if they advertised 2nd shift or 3rd shift or whatever, but the all days have to be the same shift crap might work for FT employees, but PT are working around another job.
I prefer not to work for companies that outsource, but I don't think SS is one that is going to work for me.
I saw the writing on the wall and got out sooner after the buy out SM
It made me sick to see TransHealth become WMX! I loved, loved, LOVED working for TransHealth. I thought management were good people. They even flew their QA staff to TN for Christmas parties, but then that last one was when they announced the buy out. It was disappointing, but at least I got nice weekend trip out of the deal and a few good meals!
I miss the old TransHealth. I would give my I-teeth to find a company and job like that one again.
I feel for you ex-TH-ers who have weathered the WMX storm only to now take pay cuts. It sucks!
I guess our raise came when we got hired sooner
From the posts below, they're not willing to pay much to anybody hiring on now. So maybe they think we're the lucky ones because we hired on for more! Definitely impossible to get the recruiting bonuses they're offering, isn't it?
I agree...they brag about how many new millions they're getting and all we wonder is where's our cut? If its not going overseas (YAY), or going to retain people (other than CEOs) and its not going to hire new ones...where the heck is it going?
Any messages/questions are answered within an hour, if not sooner.

I plan on it as soon as I secure another position. The sooner the better. (no message).
Should've read my email sooner, they did invite me to finish the test -sm
Mine did have 4 dictations. None of them were ESL, though they were a little more difficult than most tests I've taken.
