Near as I can remember

the whole family worked all day to buy enough hamburger meat for supper and they were still hungry after eating it all.  I would say it would take about a bushel of picked peaches to equal 9 cpl.

I had two MT friends who worked there, then things started going south.  They kept trying to get me to apply there.

I remember the post (if it was yours) on the company board and remember it didn't stay on the board very long.  If I remember correctly, even though they removed your negative (truthful) post, the majority of the posts that remained were negative, complaining about things like the terrible platform and some being afraid they would have to apply for food stamps soon.

And if you're the person I'm thinking of, I believe you and I even emailed each other a couple times because I, too, had many concerns when you brought yours to the board.

You weren't wrong, and neither was I.  The only mistake I made was I stayed there a little longer than you did.  I should have left when you left.

I can't blame the newbies either because they simply don't know any better.  It's part of the process with this company.  They make sure things are great at the beginning, and then the downward process slowly begins.

Every single thing you have said is true.  If people don't want to believe it, then they can waste a few years of their life at Transcend, too.  I'm just grateful that I now work for a credible, honest company and couldn't be happier.  Hopefully, this will remain the case, and I can stay with this company for many years.  But after my experience at Transcend, my radar is definitely always on, and at the first hint of preferential treatment to someone else or lies being told to me, etc.,  I won't hesitate to leave this company as I hesitated to leave Transcend.

you had to do up a schedule for every week of the days you would be working.  You picked the days and number of minutes you would commit to.  So, if you were working part-time and committed to 50 minutes a day, you could work those whenever you wanted to, (50 minutes x 5 days) as long as you made your commitment.  I don't think you ever had to work any weekends.

As for being an IC, I have never had this kind of insurance.  As far as I am concerned, if the doc signs it, he is saying he read it over and agrees.  I don't think any IC MTs have ever been sued, but I don't know for sure.  Maybe post this question on the main board.  The companies save big bucks using ICs so there must be something in place for protection.  I think most MTs are ICs. 

When you are an IC, you set yourself up as your own business, sole proprietor.  It is as simple as registering your name.  I have an accountant do my income tax every year and it costs about $200.  Hope this helps.

Thanks.

Can anyone remember the name of the company that was advertising a while back for Transcriptionist that had changed their name.  The manager came on and wrote out a big explanation for why they were still answering the phones with the old name even though they were supposedly not the same company...

It seems like the new name was All American MT or something like that - and the old company was an Indian-owned company.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

here and defended them because it wasn't true at all. It made me furious that someone was bashing them like that. They are the most honest company I've ever worked for and they treat all their employees like humans, not like machines.

If you never worked for them, you shouldn't spread rumors. The only ones I know who leave bad comments about them are probably trouble makers to begin with, probably paranoid and never happy in whatever any job.

I am very happy at TT, and have been since day 1 and they are really the best.

which form of followup to use. 

Followup is a noun.  Follow up is a verb.  Follow-up is an adjective.

I work for OSi part time as what used to be IC now called statutory. 

When work runs short, my coordinator actually calls me and asks me not to work in order to allow real employees to get their lines.  Work is generally short from now until around mid-January.

You will not get a raise in line rate beyond what you start at.  If you want/need to make more money, be more productive.

You are not eligible for incentives.

Having said all that, with the attitude that ICs get the leftovers, I also take the attitude that OSi gets my leftover time.  I have never had a problem in that regard.  I generally don't call in in advance when I won't be working since they don't call me in advance to tell me there is no work.  I try to make my line count, but I don't lose sleep if I don't. 

I found it very disconcerting that during a full week when I signed in daily to find no work available there was an OSi want advertisement on MT Daily.  That was when I decided that OSi needed to be my backup account.

It works well for me.  Haven't heard a complaint from OSi.

Their quality department is a disaster.  Absolutely no organization, constant e-mails that don't apply to your account, nonsense reviews.  Be a duck and let it roll off.  There is a bonus ($100 savings bond) quarterly/semi-annually for 100% quality reviews.  I get it most of the time, and that's nice.

The show was about foreign people with false identities working under Americans' names and social security #s.

when we had to get black fingers from reading the classifieds in the newspaper?!  I absolutely HATED it when a company didn't put their name, only the position they were looking to fill and then this crap at the bottom of the ad:  Please send resume and cover letter to PO BOX 0000. 

I hate that, because I always knew it was my employer fishing.  That may well have not been the case, but it's always just what I assumed.  Dirty, dirty practice in my opinion.
