Neither management nor a cheerleader

Just because I have no problems with Cornerstone, doesn't mean I am in anyway a cheerleader for Spheris. I have plenty of gripes about Spheris, but Cornerstone and VR don't happen to be on the list, except for the VR pay of course. I've been around for 7 years and have watched things deteriorate.

Not a cheerleader .................
just someone who works hard and appreciates having a job. I have worked for MDI four years and over that time I have seen MTs come and go, doesn’t look like it has put much of a cramp in their profit margin. It may be hard for you to believe, but some people actually do like their job at MDI and are grateful to have one.
I did not ask you what issues you think transcend needs to “fix” with MDI, but am curious, as I really don’t have any problems with them, just do my work every day; I leave them alone and they leave me alone – just the way I like it.
I don’t understand why people think you are a “MDI cheerleader” when you don’t have anything negative to say. Why is that? Sorry you are so unhappy.
Since your such a MQ cheerleader
and so good at your job, then why don't you share your secrets with the rest of us and maybe one day we can be sittin' pretty too.
Okay...I don't know who this cheerleader is
but if you can't count at least 5 grammatical errors in this answer, you should not be an MT.
This person says the same thing every time, but I would be willing to bet he/she does not pound a keyboard for a living.
TT Cheerleader
You must have been blessed with a wonderful VR platform that actually works. Believe me there are platforms where you can do up to 150 edits on a 60-line report. Easier to type it. Be grateful that you have something that works. Many of us have been burned badly by programs that think presbyacusis equals please be a Q-tip, and social director is a pocket rectum, etc. Have mercy on those of us who have been dumped on by companies who don't care how many edits we have to make, just so they can make an unjust profit at our expense.
Definitely not a cheerleader.
I will never be a cheerleader for this company, but I don't think it is helpful to post blatant misinformation. I would not advise anyone to work here that doesn't already because I'm sure pay for new employees is much worse even than the drop the old-time employees have seen.
they should nominate you the KS cheerleader...sm
that account IS VERY BAD....and they will tell you anything at KS to keep you on their awful accounts. They play favorites with their MTs and that is nothing new with KS.
In reply to former TT cheerleader...
I agree with you. Dictaphone is one of the major cancers that is eating away at our trade. Note that when Focus stops running ads, the work dries up at TT. That is, until the people who hired on at Focus wise up and leave. Then the work becomes plentiful at TT, along with a few of the other Dictaphone puppets out there. The cure for this cancer, whether we like it or not, is for we the MTs to not work for Focus or for anyone who has their life's blood from Dictaphone. The hospitals and facilities would get sick of the crud that is typed by the offshore that Focus/Dictaphone uses. Could you imagine the offshore doing VR. Wow, Dictaphone would have the best of two worlds - cheap labor offshore doing their VR crud. Imagine the profit they would make. They, my friends, are one of the major players in the doom of our trade. Thanks for the ear.
Oh my God, a cheerleader. I'm in highschool again. (NM)

Well, I said this once and got accused of being a cheerleader or an owner, but
Isn't it possible they are advertising because they are a growing company and are getting new accounts. That does not necessarily mean a big turnover. Sometimes people are so negative, even without knowing the facts. Go ahead, call me a cheerleader or one of the owners.
If you posted above as "TT Cheerleader", then YOU need to
see the note from the moderator. You are unnecessarily mean and nasty.
Not a cheerleader. Just happy with my job. When did that become a crime? sm
Why is it that when someone is happy, dozens will come on to nay-say but when someone comes on to bash a company, they have all the support in the world?
I personally do not like to come here as it is depressing, and this time was no exception. I had some time with a quiet house with 3 kids at their friends' houses, husband pulling a double shift and all work and housecleaning done. I thought I would check out this site again after a few months, put a post on and BAM! attacked like everyone else.
I just wanted to give my opinion on what works for me. I am sorry if you think they play favorites, but just because a company treats the employees well who do well does not mean they play favorites. It means that they reward those who do their jobs and do them well.
For the most part, work ethic is gone in this country and what is that going to lead to???????
Never seen a Spheris cheerleader on this board
I've seen Spheris employees including myself clear up misconceptions or lies, but I've certainly never seen anyone cheerleading for Spheris, because frankly there is nothing to cheer about.
seektruth is one rabid cheerleader
Go ahead, defend Webmedx to the death of your job - its coming. Some of us are speaking truth of what can happen to your job at this company - but you don't want to hear it. Enjoy your trip up river denial - and find the real truth at the end of your journey. I had a perfect romance with this company for a couple years, and it gave me a false sense of security too. Oh well, you'll only believe it when it happens to you - and it will. Meanwhile, enjoy your job and try to have a little compassion for those of us who no longer have a job to enjoy, because Karma can be a B.
be careful, you are sounding like a cheerleader. Dont
s
I don't mean to be a cheerleader but I am really tired of seeing others post "RUN" SM
Or say things like there's NEVER ANY WORK when there is work for maybe different ESL levels, accounts, etc. Sorry for being overly enthusiastic but this is such a good company, and I think a few bad apples who left the company previously cannot wait to bad-mouth it.
I think i will just butt out and let everyone go to work someplace crappy, and count my blessings.
Sorry if I came across too strong for anyone; i just like it here so darn much and have had such a positive experience OVERALL.
Hello Management
Give me a break! You are a supervisor, and I know who you are. Spare us this bologna.
SB
If only more management could be like you!
I'd buy you a drink as well! Thank you for the kind words.
Management again??!!!
kidding. "Excellent program", is that why everyone is leaving OSi, because it is so good??!!!
Management...don't you have anything to do?
If TT is growing by leaps and bounds, how do you have the time to get on here and contradict the truth? You don't like negatives about your company, but you're not perfect either.
I am not management -- I don't even
work for them anymore! You can state your opinion, but you are giving inaccurate information about things such as benefits and whether or not you can use ShortHand. Obviously I wasn't all that thrilled with them either or I would still be there.
lol, I have been an MT for 20+ yrs and many of them in management.
x
I don't know when the management...SM
was ever great, it was bad 4 years ago when I was there and from your description things haven't changed a bit since then. A bunch of office people with titles, the MTs typing all the work are ignored, avoided and treated badly. We used to call the office in Pittsburgh a kingdom because it was filled with people who never worked past 4:00 in the afternoon, 2:00 on Fridays...never to be heard from until Monday around 9:00 AM.
Not management
I never said I agreed with them docking your pay for errors. BUT, I did say that they only do it if you fall below 98%. Isn't this the norm? Keeping an accuracy rate of 98% or better? So why would you worry about being docked if you maintain 98% or better? They are like any other MT companies, they want quality reports.
Not Management
potatoMT RIGHT ON
NOT management and sorry you could not cut it. nm
x
Definitely has to be management ..SS
AMEN !!!
I am definitely NOT their management.......
or anyone else's for that matter. I am just a lowly pee-on MT with 6 years experience trying to make an honest living, and get nothing but lies from this company. I am looking for other work, just like the others who have emailed me privately, who also work for them now and are in the same predicament that I am in. Work flow lying is the main problem with this company. They say there is none, but, in fact, there is. They just turn you off. When there is work, why not give it to us??? This question has been asked by us more than once. Lots more companies out there, so we will just keep looking.
Why don't you take this up with management. (sm)
As far as bonuses being offered unnecessarily on weekends, I think they like to be caught up as best they can on Mon morning, unlike a lot of services who get behind on the weekends. I don't think it really has anything to do wtih overstaffing. JMO. I thought there is extra pay for Sat or Sunday anyway, isn't there?
Must be management. They are NOT one of the
best companies, the absolute worst one I have ever had contact with and if you look through the archives there are many, many more who agree with me.
I am not management.
I am a very hard-working, high-producing MT who has as much to lose as the next MT. I, however, am choosing to keep an open mind and know that my work speaks for itself and decided that this new opportunity for me sounds like a good one. More work, job opportunities, and help in becoming an even better producer sounds good to me; guess not to every MT though.
I'm not Management... (sm)
What, you think I'm a *plant* because I'm seeing it half-full instead of half-empty? LOL If you'll go back and read a couple of my earlier posts regarding this whole thing, you'll notice that I worked for MQ (until they were bought out by furrinners) and I've been around for 16 years as an MT - IC, SE, employee -- but never as Management.
All I'm doing is repeating (again) what was explained to the DRC employees in the web conference and what has already been posted here to be read by anyone: If the client requires USA-based MTs, that's the DRC side. Yes, they'll charge more for the USA-based MTs (who will be paid more than the Indian MTs) and it would therefore be in Acusis' best interest to have as many USA-requiring clients as possible. Yes?
(Unless, of course, you're going along with the suspicion that the Indian MTs will be passed off as USA MTs and the clients won't know the difference.) (And man's first steps on the moon were filmed on a Hollywood sound stage made to look like green cheese...)
NOT MANAGEMENT
But I love working for Transcend, what is wrong with someone saying that? They are flexible and do pay very well.
Management
Okay, now I KNOW management is posting here. I am the person who left 3 times. Twice due to medical. HOWEVER, I only made 2 friends at DSG who were not management, neither one is stil at DSG. Both told me to leave a long time ago. Both were treated badly and that is why they left. I never believed them.
Besides anyone who knows that I tried to come back a 4th time would have to be management, think about it!
I took Karen's advice and moved on. I am very happy where I am at and in fact, I am very thankful that DSG did not take me back as I would have stayed there forever and worked a lot longer/harder/dumber for less money than I am making now.
I do not have bad things to say about DSG, only that I was disappointnted that I was told I could come back if openings when my mother-in-law had recoverd and that was a lie or changed minds or whatever you want to say. I would not change the way things turned out. I am very happy where I am now. So THANK YOU DSG! They were good to me 3 times and 3 times I was charmed. There was just not meant to be a 4th time. Again, different people different experiences. Try DSG, don't try DSG no longer makes any difference to me. I will not dog DSG, but I will not defend them either. I hope Lynda's friend moves on as I did. I think she is better off if they did this to her after she stayed with them without leaving like I did for 4 years. 
Thank you - no I am not management.
But the happy ones are always accused of being management.
I am NOT Management
I have to say that my tenure at Transtech has been the most pleasant experience I have had with any national company. They do actually care about their MT's instead of just caring about the best way to screw them out of something. They are in a completely different class - and I hope they stay that way.
I am writing this to give encouragement to the disheartened MT's who have been bruised, berated, and battered by unqualified, uncaring, power-tripping people in Management - I have been there, and there is hope. There are good companies out there, and you just have to find them. Most of the people I know have not been fortunate enough to have found the perfect MTSO the first time around. We have job hopped too many times and it's no fun.
I miss the camaraderie of my former jobs in offices - but I make certain to keep up with my old friends, go to the gym, take continuing ed classes, go for a jog during the day, jump in the pool if it's warm, go to luncheons at church, get a massage, etc. It can get pretty depressing sitting in front of a computer all day, then when you get hounded for something that's not your fault in the first place by Management it makes you want to scream.
Job hop if you must. About 90% of these companies truly are awful, and the other 10% don't have the need to be constantly running ads because they are able to retain the BEST MT's, and TransTech is one of them.
I see where some companies have been trashed on here - and rightly so - such that they don't even bother posting ads anymore but they are still desperately hurting for MT's because thankfully MT's are not putting up with the abuse anymore. If you see on any job board, not just this one, companies who constantly have an ad up there most of the time it will be because they suck to begin with, not because they are growing and need new staff. You MT's know the companies I am talking about.
I wish everyone the same luck I have had. Now I am left alone to work, make more money than ever before (outside of the office) because I'm not constantly being harassed by a micromanager.
I would never want to be management, IMO
I would hate having to deal with the clients directly, always having to be reachable, and not to mention trying to keep track of multiple MTs. I'm much happier just straight typing.
Management
I hate to see the bad feedback all the time about OSi. I have been here a while too. Change is inevitable, growth is inevitable, and technology is ever changing - you have good and bad within every company. The account manager position is more like a liason position - you would be the representative for the company. Please, please, please - I love this company and I know we have our problems but if you plan on applying for this job you will be our first contact with new clients, make sure you are happy with OSi so we get a positive attitude from the start! If people that work at OSi are not having a good experience it is probably stemming from their immediate supervisor - TALK TO SOMEONE HIGHER UP! or better yet talk to your supervisor! If you dont communicate how do you expect anything to change?
New management
I do know that they are under new management.
I think your management is very
xx
J and J Management
Can anyone give me some information about J and J Management?
Because if they are management, what they say
s
Well at least now we know you are management.....
and probably aren't always quite up front with information here. I happen to know that they do outsource from time to time - and no, I'm not management, just a regular MT.
I am not management sm
I am sure that those in management who read this board, know exactly who I am. I am not ashamed of what I say here. There are certain things I would not say and have not said here, like what account I work on or who my supervisor and lead MTs are. I don't discuss our working relationship either. If there were a problem I would understand that half the problem is me because I am half the equation.
I know that some members of management at TT read this board from time to time. As I am sure they know who I am, they already know I don't say things I don't mean, my nose is not brown, I am not after being in management, and that I am honest and hard working, so I have nothing to worry about. There are ways to find out who some of you rumor spreaders are and I would not want to be YOU.
J and J Management ??
Anyone work for this company? Did not find them in the archives. Any info on platform, owners, pay, etc would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
How do like the management and sm
what is QA like? Are they tough? Helpful? Are you making decent line counts?
New management
There is new management at Focus and parent company is now much involved. A lot of accounts coming back on shore. We are all hoping for the best and so far so good.
No, I am not in management..........sm
and what I meant was that it is not our job to be on the decision-making team with regard to acquisitions and mergers. Certainly these things do impact us, but it is not our job to have a part in the decision-making process. The higher ups make the decisions concerning the company and we as MTs transcribe reports. It's as simple as that. The problem is not secretiveness but that everyone wants to be a part of the inner workings when they (and I include myself in this) in full knowledge of the business plan and financial workings of a company. Medical transcription is big business and big business, whether MT or the oil business or the stock market works that way.
Yes, we have surprises in store for us all right in many aspects of our lives. Sometimes we just have to roll with the punches, and if our work situation becomes such that we no longer agree with the process or are unable to make a living, then it is up to us to make a decision as to what we will do.
Are you management?
We're allowed to discuss an actual court case. It hasn't been dismissed.
Management, huh?
Quit trying to justify it!
Maybe management will not get as big
They'll use the money they saved by not giving them hefty raises and/or bonuses and use the money saved for the trip.
No not management...
just willing to give a good company a chance. I have been very happy there. I am just trying to adjust to the VR. I do believe that is what's coming all over, so might as well stick with one of the few good companies left.
