My honest belief is that the ones so happy are the ones stirring up the trouble.

You hit it right on the nose when you said they were trying to "call out" an employee.  That's why they want details made public and that's why they refuse to leave an email address or addresses if more than one.  If they really wanted the details they would be satisfied to get them in email. They're not stupid when they say everything is anonymous here so go ahead and post company policy.    They know what will be the result, and so do you and I. But I'm not stupid either, that's why I said I would back up my claims if they send me the email addresses, the same email they use for work. Because since they're so happy and positive that nothing is wrong, they should show their pride without being under the cloak of anonimity and also because that way I cannot be accused of spreading malicious information to people that don't work for the company or somehow trying to keep new people from applying.   I know I can't be threatened by discussing interoffice politics with other employees because like they said, the policy is on the website, so all employees already know it.  But if I were to publically post policy, that's grounds for dismissal. Kind of like the anonymous poster below who was "brave" enough to post her wages (grounds for dismissal), but not "brave" enough to post her name.  Does that mean that just because she didn't post "specific details" such as her name, her statement isn't believable either? How can it really be verified that she is actually making that much and not just trying to bait newbies?  For every single accusation that was leveled at me, the same can be leveled back in return.

Hey, they're always saying you get what you give. If they really wanted to know, they knew what to give to get it, which is why I don't believe they really want to know.  They just want to stir things up, try to make it appear that they're right and because I won't give specifics I'm wrong and it never happens, another reason to bring it all to the top of the page, because if it gets heated enough the whole conversation gets deleted. Gotta give Kudos to the one poster though who did give details even when giving contradictory statements saying it was such a great place to work on this board and then whining on the work forum about what little she made in lines and then trying to stir things up by going on the work forum and asking "what do those posts on MTStars mean?"   She knew all along what they meant and was stirring up the pot with her bait - and even the cheerleaders didn't respond to that one. I'm also not naive enough to dismiss the fact that if management really wanted to they could have the IP numbers of the posts, which is another reason I won't post details.  None of what I have said is untrue OR violated company policy. I would prefer to keep it that way by NOT giving details here. I said it before and I'll say it again, I didn't post in the first place to bash the company. I only posted because someone asked a question and I gave my experience. I was the one that got bashed simply because of that.  But I don't want to be portrayed a liar either or be bullied into something that could get me in trouble just for their satisfaction.

Do you think you could go to work at ANY company and continually bash them, either online or to other employees and NOT get fired or sued.  There is such a thing as libel and defamation, and that has nothing to do with Freedom of Speech.  I have gone through the archives and am shocked at the things people say on here about the companies they STILL WORK FOR.  I cannot imagine going to work for a company and to continuously badmouth them and to be able to keep my job!!!  Someone else said on here in another post I read about not having to use your real name or be accountable for what you write on here and that is only to true, which is why I use my name!!!  I have nothing to hide.  If what you say is true, then you should be able to show your identity!  You cannot knowingly lie or defame a company  ANYWHERE, especially where it could potentially poison the pool of current or potential employees.  If you are SOOO unhappy with the way things are where you work QUIT!!!!  I have been through the ups and downs on work flow with Transtech too, but my intelligence tells me this happens everywhere!  There was no change in payroll company since I have been here, almost a year, or if there was I had NO PROBLEMS and did not even notice.  I had no rush to get my paperwork in or mistakes in my paycheck and whomever implied those things about TransTech's questionable payroll practices, deserves to be sued.  You cannot say those kind of things about a company, especially  when to my knowledge they are UNTRUE.  That is defamation of character and NOT Freedom of Speech.  They are owned by a parent company and THAT company does our payroll NOT TRansTEch themselves.  Everyone really needs to do their homework on this sort of thing.  This is EXACTLY what people get sued over and as well they should!!!  There is a difference in stating you were unhappy, or if you did not get paid on time or not at all, but to continue to work somewhere, and then get on here and CONTINUOUSLY bash them, is just plain WRONG!!  There are plenty more companies out there... find another one to work for if you are that unhappy!!. Again, I am NOT management and I have had problems that I needed to work out with them, but that is exactly what I did WORKED IT OUT WITH THEM!  This is a company just as if you were working in an office, and there is protocol when working in a business environment that many of you just do not get!  For those of you that do, this is obviously not meant for you!!!   For those this does not pertain to, I know you will not be offended by this.  If you are offended by this, this is obviously meant for you.  Have a great day!

I think I would just get the line counts figured and merely mail it in now, albeit late, you should get it eventually one would think. Just include - please notify me when the compensation can be expected, so you know what is going on, or not going on. 

 If not, and since they benefited from the lines, and can be verified you actually did indeed do the work, merely contact the labor department..

your post, but if it was supposed to mean that we "could" have the option of transcribing and/or using VR, perhaps at this very minute in time you do, but that won't last much longer.

From the wording of your post, I'm having trouble believing you're a living, breathing human being.  Are you instead a VR program looking for a home?  If so, maybe you'd better fine-tune your voice-recognition ability to correct that "good" versus "could" voice conflict you've got going on.  If you are a human being attempting to convey a thought about "bad" MTs, take a good, long look at your own post and tell me where they should begin the "weeding-out" process. 

I personally think they should start with MTs who type sentences such as, "I was under the impression that we good straight type, do VR or both!"

I am still having trouble with the ExText software.  I know TT is doing their best to get everything smoothed out...but I am concerned because it really slows me down and is very frustrating...I just get all geared up and ready to have at it...but the software gives me nothing but problems.  It cuts me off after I complete a report and then I have to sign back on to get dictation.  Sometimes the system does not recognize my foot pedal, and I have to crawl under my desk undo the USB connection and reconnect, then it will work.  All in all this is very frustrating.  Also I find some of the doctors are difficult to understand...I think they are speaking too close or too far away from their microphone, etc.  I know my line counts thus far are not good at all.  I like the company...they are all very, very nice to work with, especially QA.  I have been on the account about 3 weeks now...I sure hope it improves soon.

Thanks for your input.

The dictaphone we use at the hospital occasionally does that but not very often.  I have had no problems whatsoever (knock on wood) with Merit running in my 384 RAM machine. 

If I were in your shoes, I would take a shot at the Merit side before I jumped ship.  I think the reason why I don't like Merit as well is because i have not had as much experience with it.

getting my direct deposit going, but on time every time since.  I started 6 months ago.  I checked BBB and found them to have a BB rating, which is a good rating according to the BBB themselves. 

I hate being paid late myself, it is really frustratign and has happened to me far times than I can remember, but I am sure they will work things out with you. 

I work days so I am wondering if the system is just plain bogged down.  

Thank heavens, most of us TT'rs are very happy there.

I worked for Chase for about 9 months. Let's just say STAY AWAY. VERY AWAY. It was not a good experience. I am still looking for work.

When you work for them it's like you are on your own.  You can't get a reply on anything. I am in editing and I find tons of errors sent previously and reports sent to the wrong area and I let them know and I never get a reply.  I never get emails.  Updates are done in mind only....they don't actually put them on paper and you never know the change unless you send feedback and the manager notices it has changed.  I wrote the HR person over a year ago asking a question and I am still waiting.

Another big gripe is their supposed mentor.  This lady has issues.  She calls people and asks them what church they go to, what political affiliation they are, and then proceeds to go on and on about how smart she is, what degrees she has, and who she works for.  Two of my coworkers have left because of her.

I'd would tell anybody unless you are totally sharp and can work on your own without ever a question, don't look here.  Also don't answer the phone if the mentor calls unless you really want to know what soap opera she watched that day.  If she would mentor and leave everybody else alone, something might get done.
