Dont kid yourself that people dont know what is going on. Do you honestly think these office people
dont talk. Maybe you should make sure you know what you are talking about before you open your mouth.
So what is the problem with these NE people. No one is happy with the way they run things and I dont
see it getting any better. I think the NE people better start rethinking their plans because they sure aint working up thar in New York.
Dont bother. Not enough work to go around. People are quitting.
I guess at this rate, they may be hiring if everyone ends up quitting due to lack of work. They will come on here and state that we should just call the office and you will get put on another account. That is a joke. We have all tried that and you get ignored.
Why dont you "enlighten" us to why people job hop in this business. It couldnt be because we g
stiffed on our pay, lied to, mislead, underpaid, broken promises. Yes, there is a reason why people change jobs. You can only take so much. Is it a wonder that a lot of MT are burned out. Does anyone want to keep changing jobs?? No, it would be great to actually be able to make a living doing what we love the most at one company that follows through on promises. It does kind of take the wind of your sails when your dished out nothing but ........ all the time. So, that is why I stick up for Msla MT. There are more out there right with her.
Well, what do they do when people dont meet their required lines due to no work. Most ridiculous
thing I ever heard of. Overhire and then I expect MTs are to work 24/7 to get in required lines. Nothing like making a total fool out of people. Hardly worth making minimum wage now is it.
Did you ever take into consideration
that I, probably along with many others, have to do a spell check on our work- we don’t have to do it here. My VR does a lot that straight typing does not, such as if you misspell a word sometimes like magic it knows and changes (I don’t have all the words in ShortHand that it changes) and also highlights or tells you when doing spell check you might have put a MI and it will ask you do you want an instead. Take that into view. We could not go through as fast as we can and not change mistakes. Here if words spelled wrong, oh well, told not to police spelling here anyway.
Either one, and would take any beneifts in consideration of pay.
Basically, the bottom line is I just need to make more money to cover the bills right now, so I would take either IC or employee status. I realize that if they provide benefits, I would need to add that into the pay, such as insurance and PTO. I currently pay $325/month for insurance for myself and 3 children on an individual policy since I currently am IC status. I find the problem with insurance is that usually group rates through an employer is usually higher than that on just the portion I would pay, so it really does not seem to help much if they provide insurance. If I could find one that did, that would be awesome, but I think I might be dreaming here.
Thank you so much for trying to help me out. 
Wouldnt you think they would have more consideration rather
than just throwing people on with no concern about running out of work. I guess it is just easier to do that than worry about people working. Nothing like making an a-- out of people.
Thank you. I'll also take your info into consideration. nm

Take into consideration that the schooling will be the most difficult and time-consuming part...
especially when you get to the clinicals...it is full-time...
I dont cherry pick, never did. I dont do that to my coworkers on my account.
What is the new status. I dont understand what it means. I dont need their benefits nor do I want
them.
I dont know what that means. I am an SE. I dont sit and wait for work I come back in when it is
there so I never had to deal with Amherst when there was no work because I just stopped working and did other things. My feeling is if this doesnt work there are other jobs out there.
I just dont want to hit that extra space if I dont get paid for it, ya know. No message.

If I cant make QA, dont give me work. Dont dock

I didnt get the packet, do we have to take their insurance if we dont need it. I dont want it. Wish
I would have gotten the stupid thing to read.
Well, I know that MTs from my office have quite MQ and they dont post on here but I dont know how
many. I think MTs with MQ may be getting second jobs and just working for 2 different places at the same time which is probably the smart thing to do anymore because MQ will continue with this short TAT and as it spreads throughout other offices people will continually be running out of work especially after going on DQS.
You obviously have the wrong company. If they dont IM you, then you dont have it on..
I smell management. Nothing you said makes sense unless there is another Focus out there.
Sorry if I dont like gutter humor. Also dont like

People at TT have been paid! People who haven't well, maybe you did not make count and your check
after insurance deduction. Maybe your bank is holding it. Maybe anything! But we GOT PAID. This is NO LIE. And I am sick of this board. Nothing but disgruntled exemployees arguing with employees who like their job. Ugggg. I am working. BTW: THERE IS WORK (clears throat) remember that? Work?
Keystrokes is wonderful!! They are the nicest people and care 150% about their people!!
Excellent company!!!!
I worked for SS and some people were very RUDE and I am talking about the editing people in some
instances. It ALL depends on the person, as it does with any company. They paid on time and the lady over me was very nice, but boy the person in QA was mean to EVERYONE!! Never seen anything like it before.
Are people trying to scare people or just tell them what is happening. I am not scared just seeing
that things are changing very rapidly and not for the better for me. If I have no work and need multiple accounts everyone else is in the same boat now arent they that have my accounts. That is how people know what is going on.
Maybe due to the people that manage Amherst. I think MQ would be a lot better off finding new people
up there with all the problems you hear about that office. Seems like something is very very wrong there.
I doubt it. There are more happy people than unhappy people sm
at Medquist. I've checked out other companies but I liked MQ the best (I kept working at MQ while testing other companies).
SO right! People who get paid to bring people on-board -sm
to these companies (few, if any, are 100% honest, it seems), are going to be honest and tell you anything that isn't rosy and sugar-coated. Having a good prospective MT walk because the company isn't so great means less green dollars in their bank account every month. They're not going to tell us anything that DOESN'T make them more money.
More people will come into VR because the qualifcations to do MT are not the same. Lots of people w
to work at home. It's all relative to what you are used to. The nationals are counting on this. I think MTs will work cheaper rather than reenter the work force with no other skills than MT. The nationals are counting on this.
They named people's names. That is not right. People just sm
need to keep from naming names. I thought it was an informative bit of information, but when you name names, then posts are way out of line.
I would really like to see a truly professional way of talking about a company. I don't care what board you go to, somehow people just do not want to play nice when it comes to talking about people. If those people could learn to be a little more professional and stop posting names to their wrath or anger, then that will be the day I can say I am proud to be in this profession. When I see those types of things, it makes my skin crawl. If it were me being talked about, I would be livid. I certainly understand why the posts were deleted.
Thank you for saying that. Most people here just love to trash people.
It is against board rules though.
Heartland - we take care of our people people
I meant in quotation marks, not parentheses.
For people at MDI-MD that say they are out of work, I see they are hiring now. Are people still
running out of work or did they get more accounts. I am interested in this company.
Honestly, people some people are lazy...
plain and simple, sad but true.
You dont have to tell me..
I see it quite clearly. Some of that stuff is just plain crap, and it takes longer to change every other word or heading, etc. than to just type it yourself. Trust me, I know the game they are running. I am just trying to prevent others from going through the same thing a lot of us are going through right now. All of this could have been avoided by just having a little more consideration towards their MTs. There is ABSOLUTELY no reason why we should have had to work for 12 days and not know what we were making--NO REASON. I think this really shows just how much they really DON'T care about us as MTs, and that makes me both sad and angry  .
I dont know why
WHY what did your lawyer think?
dont do it
there are jobs out there that are more dependable. Dont go there. Not right now. Honestly, the system is new and there have been many new changes implemented. They are still in the process of making changes and it is a mess. The system has so many bugs in it that it is constantly going down and screwing up. There are times that it is down for hours and hours. You cannot depend on getting your line count in. Also, there is lack of work on many, many accounts way too often. They are going to editing and you will only get paid about 4 cpl. It is a mess. Please look somewhere else.
Dont do it. Dont take the job. You will
really regret it. I was laid off from my hospital job and went to work for a national and it has been the absolute worst experience. My income has gone down so much that I leave the answering machine on now because the bill collectors are calling me every day. The security of knowing that you are paid by the hour no matter what makes all of the difference in the world. When the national has platform problems, computer problems, no work (which happens frequently), etc. you are NOT PAID. You just have to sit and wait until THEY fix it. The benefits are nothing like you get working in house and they are so expensive. I just really think you should consider all of these factors and understand that it is very different from working for a hospital.
At least it has been for me, they dont TELL you to sit and
and I dont if I dont want to. If I have otherthings to do, I do them. Places to go, I go. As FT though, I do make up the hours or use PTO (which I hate doing) and really more now since my company took any PTO over 40 hours we had not used as of 12/31.
I dont know but it
is a paid ad, so they have to still be in business. They can't be too hard to find on Google or they would damage their business dealings. Sorry, I just saw the banner and knew people were questioning their existence.
I just dont do it
I personally do not accept a job that pays low. I can understand if you need the job yesterday; but with forethought and planning, a seasoned Transcriptionist should NOT work for peanuts EVER! I try not to accept less than 10 cpl, period; 9 cpl is really easy account as a subcontractor of course.
DONT DO IT! nm

DONT DO IT
DON'T DO IT...they ARE the same company as in the Phillipines operated by a very nasty CEO that will NOT pay you. She has been sued so many times for non payment. Not good people to work for.
DONT DO IT
YES they are the same company in Tennessee and the Phillipines. I use to work in both offices...trust me...DONT DO IT...very nasty owner, short fuse and will NOT pay you!
Dont ask, dont tell. nm

I dont know about everyone else, but my PC
In the last coupla weeks, it's slowed down about 50%.
You dont have to have radar here
Agree with poster above who said that only you can change things for yourself. Maybe shouldnt have used the terms babies. Fine, okay, I'll admit that. And I dont take anything on here personally. All I am saying is that all anyone does anymore is complain. It is tiresome and old.
you work there dont you? You tell us

Dont you wish someone would have warned you?...
I have gotten a lot of grief for trying to warn people about what was happening to me and others and that it would soon be happening to a large majority of you. I think it is a duty that we should all have. Why would you let someone else go through something horrible if you could possibly stop it. I loved the "old" Transcend and its management--not too happy with the "new" Transcend or its management. However, that is my opinion. I see there are many others with the same opinion, and these number will continue to grow if Transcend does not wake up. I was a "Current Transcender" until now. I just can't do it anymore. I tried to fight the good fight and hold on to them (at least until I found something else better), but my children need to eat, and I have a mortgage and bills to pay. I can no longer be a Transcend cheerleader. I was a cheerleader in the past and referred other MTs to the company (all of whom left before I did), but it is just a really "bad" place to work as far as wages go. I have to do what is best for me now. I can't go bankrupt for Transcend. Thank God I had the wisdom to find another job to supplement early on in this "transition" process. If not, I would be homeless now. I certainly do not wake up every day with my only purpose being to bash Transcend. I had to be honest with myself and others or I couldn't sleep at night. I wish all of you the best and hope you and Transcend figure it all out before it is too late for you.
Dont worry,
I never got a phone call, but got my packet today.
One word......DONT'!
