I think you need to read your memo again.
The very first thing it says is, Offshore editors are paid $8 per hour and it goes on to describe the new pay structure for us US editors/reviewers exactly. So, that tells me that we are getting the same wage as them. I am not sure how you got that all turned around.
Maybe a mistake was made and this memo was not supposed to go out to us US employees describing India wages. BUT, now the cat is out of the bag!! 
You read the memo wrong
The memo read pay for reviewing of offshore work will be paid at..... It does not mean that we are paid the same as those offshore. My pay has not changed since this went into effect. We were all offered the option to transcribe if we did not like the base rate plus incentive. I for one do like it, but if you do not, why do you not transcribe instead of review? It is an option that was offered. Just a suggestion that may work better for you.
LP VBC Memo - sm
I'm not sure why she (LM) bothers to send these out or even to come here and defend herself or her company. You people are dense, denser than old glass doorknobs.
She clearly explains what a VBC is and also states that LP is not using this method of counting. However, she has an opportunity to bid on an account that is requesting VBC and she was also looking for some feedback from any of her ICs who may already be using this method. She explains that there is an 18% difference in counting totals.
She is explaining that this is the new industry wave so to speak and we should all be aware so we can plan accordingly or have a better understanding, kind of like when we went from gross to 65 character method or even switching from WP to Word.
Ya know, LP and LM are not perfect. I've worked there on an off for the last 15 years, but come on she was not dropping a huge bomb on anyone, cutting pay rates, etc. She was actually trying to be helfpul and informative as well as gather some information for future use. I'm sure she garnered useful information - some of her ICs are challenged in reading comprehension.
Got that memo, did not say anything about account
I know about the e mail asking if people were interested in speech editing, but it did not say what account. If the one says that account is having glitches, and you were interested, I would ask my supervisor if I were you to see the progress. Those of us who were not interested have not heard any further or what accounts are on that speech track. Perhaps some tests or things we don't transcribe are going Speech. I am sure if the account were going totally speech they would have let us know by now. If you talk to your sup and get an answer, please let us know. Tx.
No memo. You'll only know for sure if
you are on the team that gets a new account. One did start in the middle of July but runs as dry as all the rest of their accounts. You'll only notice on the Community Page if you know all the accounts and see something new. They don't care if you have no work. The TAT is to their advantage.
Lee Perfect VBC memo
Does anyone work for LP and get this VBC memo today? If so, can someone please explain to me what it means? I already asked the owner and she said REREAD THE MEMO. I don't know if she wants us to take a pay cut or to add an account.......TIA!!!!!!!!!
Lee Perfect VBC memo
Thanks :(( It was not making sense to me....
Lee Perfect VBC memo
Thanks for the support! Feeling better for it!!!!!!
Lee Perfect VBC memo
The owner wrote to me with this message ..... there is no paycut. No new accounts., If you do not care to know about VBC ok, in the future many transcription services will be using it. Not ours.
Lee Perfect VBC memo
I am the mentally challenged old glass doorknob! lol
No one can feel worse about it than me but I needed some clarification. I wish I could have understood what she wanted to say but I did not...there were others who did not either...I was not bashing her or the company. I love my job there BUT I needed help understanding the memo. Thank you for the info. It was clear as a bell.
I think the accidental memo proves a whole of it goes
nm
It almost looks like a memo she got and didn't make it into an ad.
I was also wondering about that $7000, is that per month, per pay period, maybe per year? 
so then why did she send the memo?? sounds strange to me. nm

Nevermind

I posted before looking up this company in the archives. Silly me! However, if there's anyone out there who is having great current experiences with her, please let me know. TIA.

The solution center's memo of an upgrade to the system SM
in the next couple of weeks (not on company computer right now so don't remember exact date) includes release notes that says the issue of the platform freezing will be corrected. I hope this fixes some of my own problems.
The memo is 7 am to midnight. So for third shift no coverage on pager.
And for the weekend, no paging really unless their system is down, not ours. Actually, that's less stressful because if we are down we just e mail and forget about it. Of course downtime would help that is paid downtime.
This e mail does not bug me. But, I do have to say I have become increasingly depressed over this job lately and I am not usually this way. I have a feeling I am not alone in my depressed feeling, I just wish I knew why I felt this way. Things looked so good 2 weeks ago... I agree with the aarrg above. Double arrgg for me to.
Nevermind, I see what you meant now...
nm
Hmm...bet she's never worked for...well...nevermind!
Nevermind. Found out they do not. Ah well.
nm
Nevermind, I found it. Thanks.

Nevermind. Unless you have something to add to the archives I already know what I need to know.
Sorry for posting before I read the archives. But I am glad this board is here. Saves me a lot of research and grief.
nevermind - geez
I am so exhausted I was not thinking about how to go back and look at the older posts, duh!! I am getting ready to read right now and then I am really going to bed :D
Nevermind...already submitted. nm

Nevermind I see the comments below
Need to read before I post..OOPS morning coffee hasn't kicked in yet.
Memo specifically said upgrade would address the platform freezing up.

Nevermind, got the answer from recruiter. Tx

Nevermind on Softscript.... too many bad things
more people have had problems than not... I would just skip that one and go for JLG... except for no DD (with JLG) which is a concern, but at least the job would be tolerable there...
No, we got a small Valentine's gift that looks like a paper weight/ memo holder??
nm
Nevermind, I figured it out mysefl. Thanks again for all the advice.

What was the update?
nm,,
Update
It was a very short update all was said was it was now done to one other company and this part of the process would take 30 to 60 days. It also said that the other company was not Spheris, MedQuist, or HCA. I plan on staying right where I am and see it through the end.
UPDATE
I am not the original poster, but I am the one who had been told that I should be patient because they get 150 emails a day, that I did pass the test, that I should not return the call because they are always on the phone. Well, too late Keystrokes. I took a test on Saturday for another company and was offered the job on Monday and I accepted.
Update
I would like to thank everyone that emailed me. I finally got set up today, and am working away.
D&L UPDATE
Word is they are going to crop up as another name - beware when applying - take all information you have on this company and beware if new company pops up with same people. They are still doing business as D&L, and have some accounts and actually some MTs who have not left - but they will be another name as soon as the paperwork goes through - be careful - try to call them - chronically busy - web page under construction - snakes in the grass very very sneaky.
They are still dealing with the mess and it will just roll over to the new name when it comes.
If you ask me, what they are doing is dodging taxes again and scamming others, eventually it all comes out in the open.
Their everyone telling lies on us attitude won't work for long.
Update
Webmedx does charge a deposit and if this is Transtech they don't supply computer.
D&L any update?
I was wondering also if the MTs were compensated yet? Let's keep this D&L situation active until we hear they have been paid. It's such a terrible situation for so many.
D&L Update
No, they have NOT paid the majority of their ICs in part/in full. How do I know? Because I am a former D&L IC caught in the middle of this fiasco. I haven't been paid since the end of June. They still owe me for 3 weeks' earnings.
As to your other question, are they still in business. That would be a yes. They are currently HIRING too. I feel sorry for anyone who accepts a position with them.
As far as what is being done against them, I'm not at liberty to say. I really don't care much for the Marino's at this point in time, and do not want to give them any clue as to what the next step/possible step will be against them. It would be unfair to discuss any actions publicly on a message board when there are 30+/- of us involved still suffering financially because of those 2 SELFISH and DISGUSTING people, John and Donna Marino. They truly are in business for themselves.
Thank you for this update! nm

Update?
with all the recent new employees of TransTech, can any of them give us an update of how it it going, I know they had a real hiring frenzy and a lot of information was shared on this board, just wondering if any new hires care to share their experiences so far.
Yes it does. Here is an update.
It took longer than expected to receive my foot pedal due to the fact that it didn't get sent out until several days after I thought it was going to be sent. Anyway, I finally received it, let them know I had it and the next day they had me up and running with training. I've only been working for the past three days and so far everything seems to be going just fine (although it seems like I'm getting the most difficult dictator on this account to start off with). I've had very positive feedback and much encouragement.
