There are other great companies out there. This really touched me, you sound like a single mom who is trying to just make the best for her kids. I feel for you! I, too, am trying to raise two kids, but work for a great national even though there has been a lot said of that, but they have been good to me. Don't feel like where you are at is the only option. There are many other places out there, just start looking and working at home really isn't so bad! Good luck to you!

I completely concur. Find a good one, or move on, quickly. No loyalty involved. The don't sm
have any to the MTS. NONE of them.
As your accounts move to India, they move you to another account. NM

You may have to move on to move ahead (sm)
One way to look at what you are doing right now is more training only you are being paid for it; once you have a year or two under your belt as experience, you may be able to command a higher wage someplace else. It's funny, a place will pay more for someone with 2 years' experience than they will pay someone who has worked for them for 2 years! Go figure.
Yes, you should run very quickly, it is by
far the worst company to work for.
Very quickly. It's the truth.
I know some people may take a little longer to answer, but honestly, I only experienced that a couple of years ago when I first started. Whenever I need to ask a question, I've been getting answers very quickly, and I know that when someone IMs me, I'm getting right back to them...unless I ran to the potty. :)
they can speak as quickly as they want to? sm
WHAT? That is an insane statement. What is worse than a doc who is racing through his dictations, almost nothing worse in my opinion, it's my pet peeve I think (hides)
If you pass, they get back w/you quickly
It's after you get "hired" that seems to take forever. I got my test results in 2 days, a week to hear from the recruiter, a week to get employment package, a week to get receipt of that acknowledged and schedule training, a week to start receiving equipment. And who knows how long before one is released from training to full production. I'm starting to wonder, but my current place is so awful that MQ is a definite step up. Anyway, don't quit your old job if you get hired; wait until you know when you will be in full production.
Things disappear so quickly

This is classic, but I can usually get them to go away pretty quickly!
No matter what they say I respond No speak English. One lady even tried speaking in Spanish, but I just kept saying the same thing. LOL! Yes, caller ID helps enormously too! I do not answer unknown name calls who do not display their number or anything that seems fishy.
I just quickly looked through my info
and I can't find the tuition reimbursement info. I've not had the opportunity to use it. I do remember something about the fact that they pay for CMT certification if you pass.
If I can answer any other questions for you please don't hesitate to ask! 
Things change quickly, I would look twice -sm
All Type has just done a major cut on their MTs pay rate - major. At least 80% of their work is done outside of the country and more is being shipped every day. You are being hired to keep their business moving because many are leaving with the pay cuts and they need you to work while they make the conversion to India complete. They will need editors to cover the inadequacy of those reports but American MTs can wave so long to their jobs with All Type. All Type should take down their American flag and fly the flag from the country they support - India.
things can change very quickly sm
so be careful because you might change your tune!
4 cpl could be for newbies or editors. Don't judge so quickly
Consider that service owners have to take the time to edit and provide feedback to newbies and that takes a LOT of time.
Time clock isn't bad. You quickly get used to it. No big deal. sm
I find them pretty flexible, but you do have to work your total required hours.
could you quickly copy and paste your document into another? then
you could just keep adding on the lines in each document to your own master document for the day. Then you would have a line count for the day. I bet you could write a macro to do this.
Is there a good site to get DQS questions answered quickly? nm

I find the lines don't accumulate as quickly, but the atmosphere is GREAT. nm
Giant Red Flag. If that's the company mentality, I'd cut my losses quickly.

Yeah, the timer just starts ticking away while your trying to figure out how to do it quickly
without a foot pedals, and four reports at that. Oh well, guess it wasn't meant to be.
The ones that came back so quickly missed their ham sandwich, beer and wine....sm.
and were not allowed to show their cleavage and wear miniskirts. On top of it, only married couples are allowed to have sex. This in Muslim countries.
TransTech accounts are ALL very quickly going to VR and pay is half line rate
If you like VR and the pay cut, then TT will be a good fit for you. If you are experienced and will let someone pay you less than you are worth, then go for it.
Other than accounts going to VR there and MT pay cut for editing VR reports, TT has been a good fit for me. I am very disappointed in the recent VR pay cuts.
They are changing platforms and cutting our line rate in half as the accounts go live with VR.
With the alleged shortage of decent MTs, which you managers are quickly turning into VR editors sm
You should not be complaining about graphics or colors on resumes. You should, frankly, be grateful for any applications you get. The way MTs are being turned into editors for you voice recognition crap is horrible, and you should be apologizing for it.
Superior Global-out of Plano, TX..anyone else apply recently, told they were hiring quickly and to
do the testing ASAP..only to do the testing ASAP and then hear nothing. Trust me, the testing WAS NOT hard so I can't believe I wouldn't have passed that part. I followed up with emails as to whether they received my tests back etc..but nothing. no response. I find that rude. Even a simple, Dear John, we aren't hiring you would have been polite than nothing at all..Unprofessional
Move on from both! nm

Sometime you have to move on for (sm)
your own sanity. Working under constant pressure is not enjoyable. It is important for me to like my job. Unfortunately, I worked for a place and felt like we (many more than just I) were not being told the truth. I moved on and so did several others I know. The company lost a few excellent MTs in the process. I feel you get more with being straight up than moving through a thick smoke screen. Sorry this is happening to you, I've BTDT.
Why would you just move on? There are a lot of sm
accounts. You are going to base everything on a few bashers. There are over 300 MTs at KS, some who have been there for a very long time.
My advice? Ask for a different account or ask for assistance on the one you are on. They will help you but maybe you need to go over the person you asked.
I have heard that there is a lead who will not pass on information like that because she doesn't want to lose anyone on her accounts. I know that she is not going to be a lead very long either as I have heard that someone else is taking over her accounts. If you email me, I will help or at least will work to get the right person to do it. I know that it isn't one of my accounts as no one has asked for a change on either of mine and most have been on them over 2 years.
move
May be you need to move then!
Move on.
LOTS of better companies out there than TTS.
I had to move to QA
I broke my thumb playing softball and it still hurts to this day after several years. A lot of people in QA have had injuries of different sorts, but we obviously must have a bank of knowledge and a lot of experience as well. Unfortunately, I have seen some companies stick brand new MTs in QA for some odd reason, presumably because they are friends.
If you can consistently type for 8 hours without getting tired you can make more money as an MT.
One thing that we in QA have noticed is that it seems the highest producers also have the most errors, some of them critical errors. You can tell that they don't proofread or do live checks. They seem to be interested only in the money and not the quality.
MOVE ON! nm

Why not move on?
If you're that unhappy, why not just move on? There are lots of other jobs on the job board. It sounds like from your posts that you are a highly skilled MT and you obviously want to work. If MDI isn't working for you, then why not look for a new job?
I feel terrible for you that your experience is not good, but I don't understand why you stay. Consider taking another PT job with a different company. You could work it when the work is slow at MDI and if you find that it's better for you, then move on with the new job. I'm sure no company wants someone working for them that is that unhappy.
I know that making a change is hard, but it sounds like it's harder for you to stay than it would be to move on. Not every company fits everybody. You deserve to be happy.
If not able to do the job, the MTs should move on
I have never worked at a job where I was asked to do so much work I could not do it. Maybe lack of get up and go or slow MTs, who knows? Why do you get the MTs are being disrespected? They can't do their job, we work production. We all put up with dictators who cannot speak clearly, chew, snort, ESLs. That is the way it has been and will be. The dictators are not changing for us. That person needs to probably find another profession.
Yeah, why would she move on??
She can belittle employees all she wants, does not answer e mails, sends snot grams on a regular basis and steal lines from the employees to fatten her own pockets.
That is a very smart move...
Perhaps that would be a better strategy for me.
This is a great move.
I believe of freedom of expression and we are just expressing ourselves. This problem must not prevail.
Yikes move on....
If this is how they hire people, imagine when it's payday!
Did HIP move to Georgia?
or do they have more than one office location now? Thanks!
Might have to make a move
Can you tell me how many lines you can produce a day with your Medware account and what the going line rate is for someone with 5 years experience?
No way would I take a cut for AVR. I'd rather type. Move on.

I really wish MTs would move on when a company does this to them.
I know a company who has been pulling this crap for 5 years now stating the same sorry story over and over. By 5 years, they really should have the bugs worked out, but, oh wait, she bought another new car and put in a hot tub.
Bottom line, if they are not paying on time, move on. If everyone would respect their work enough not to tolerate this more than twice, then eventually all the crap companies would either fade away or would make the necessary changes to stay in business. I really believe the MTs who continue to put up with this are perpetuating the problem. my 2 cents
Good move
Moving to Transtech would be a very good move!
Stupid move
Just because they are hiring does not always mean they currently have the work. I was with a company that was waiting for a certain type of transcription that I do. Even though the company did not yet have the transcription, they were advertising for MTs for that type of work. My sister said that do that so that they can be prepared. I am sure you made a smart move because more than likely they still wont have work to give their MTs.
Shut up and move on.
Geez.
move to another account
I tried that. After trying to break through the wall of disbelief that I wasn't making great lines. I was told by mgt *I'll get back to you about that on Monday*. Never heard another word.
Good move
I have been there for just over 2 months and love it. They are the best company I have ever worked for in my 6 years in this field. I'm sure you'll love it.
consider that is how they do business and move on!

So if I move from the Q to Diskriter, I can put if

Making a move?
Has anybody heard of Diskriter and if so do you know if they are a good company to work for. Their site looks interesting and their benefits look good. Thanks!
TransTech. Best move ever!

Me 2!! I just started! Best move
Do they still move the end of the pay period whenever they like.
They weren't bad to work for but that drove me crazy. I had it in my mind that the end of the pay period was on Sunday so I would work my schedule around that. So say on Friday I would think, Great, 2 more days on this pay period just to find out they were cutting it off on Saturday. I believe this was some bizarre attempt to be able to make payroll by cutting the pay periods short. I could understand if it was once or twice but it happened too many times and I find that made me nervous and wondering why you would changes pay periods so quickly without real notice. The company I work for now has their pay period dates set in stone for the whole year so I know exactly when the pay period ends and when I get paid.
