I did miss the threads on this, I'm going there now to read.
nm
I posted about them earlier this week. I
received the e-mail with the prescreening form and it was worded so that I felt it was coming from off-shore.
It often takes my check a full week to get here but (sm)
I don't really think it's because they are mailed late; I have relatives in Florida and the mail from/to them can take forever as well. Since they quit direct deposit I basically just changed my expectation of when my check would arrive. I believe they do still offer the option of delivery by FedEx for something like $10/pp, which I used for a while before DD and my check was here like clockwork every payday. Whatever else I might say about JLG, I've always been paid on time.
Geez, it's so illegal to hold back a last week's check, regardless of the reason.

you should look at some old threads - sm
There is good and bad posted about them. In the past two years, they have had A LOT - A LOT - A LOT of staff turnover in their office in Pittsburgh. They also had a little problem with not paying transcriptionists overtime (they have since had to pay them). I guess all in all, they are just like any other company, good and bad, it depends on the accounts you get.
Read all threads
If you read on, you will see where I spelled it out. And also, what do you expect current employees to say? Of course they (only 2) will say good things. The negative commenters outweight the positive ones. But one only sees what one wants to.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read the post threads - sm
throughout this board. they are a scam. DO NOT APPLY WITH THIS COMPANY. There have been articles in magazines and internet postings about this company. THEY ARE A SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please do not post job wanted threads. (SM)
If you are looking for a job, please see our Job Seeker's board and/or post your resume on our free resume bank.
If you wish to ask questions about certain companies, please do so here on the Company board.
Otherwise, you will simply have to search for your position yourself.

This is posted down a few threads too...no luck there either.
Having read your threads over the months
and you and I corresponded back and forth some on emails, the financial picture for you might perk up a little. You could at least submit a resume and see what they are offering. Benefits are always good and working inhouse, how many now would love to have that! You know what the work situation is now, your family is older, kids grown, etc. so I definitely would say check it out!
She was very nasty in the threads yesterday to
people who just learned of the line rate cut, then indicated she was bowing out of this whole discussion after getting called on it. Someone said they didn't think she'd be gone long. Looks like they were right.
Nobody said she's not allowed to post. It's just making her look really silly.
and posts like these are why good threads are removed. Why does everything have to sm
turn so nasty all the time? Grow up. Some of us want real answers.
possibly -- it seems to have finally shut down the endless TT threads ...
I was beginning to think they needed their own board ...
I wasn't following them, but my impression is that they had been going on -- in some incarnation or another -- for several week ...
who would want to work for a company with so many so unhappy employees (even if the internet notoriously distorts just how many people are represented -- since the same people -- particularly the most incensed -- post over and over and over again -- creating the impression of great throngs of angry people)
I have no idea if TT's suit has merit ... just that such suits are not unprecedented and -- aside from unlikely-to-make-much-difference memos to their employees or public notices on boards like these -- represent the only way I'm aware of to defend one's good name.
If this served to educate the many folks here who thought that the first ammendment automatically protected them on line -- then good has already come from this.
don't worry, these kinds of heated threads always die down in a couple of days

Then as I said earlier.....
Next time leave it for someone who will truly appreciate the opportunity to make an extra $100 - you obviously don't. In these economic times you should be grateful for the extra. Also, it wouldn't matter where you worked, either self-employed or employee, everyone has to have taxes taken out. Even if you made minimum wage somewhere the taxes still get taken off the top. That's not something you can get around no matter where you work. I don't understand your logic of working 5 hours overtime actually equal 10 hours, but even at that it's still $10 an hour and a lot of people in this country don't even make that much. You should still consider yourself lucky and stop complaining about it or don't work extra anymore.
WMX - earlier and earlier
It's 5 a.m. and out of work already. Seems to get earlier and earlier.  I wish an MT who's been there for years could tell me this is the norm and it's going to get better soon. I'm very concerned--haven't been able to get 20 hours in, and it's already Friday. 
Full time with Transtech is both. 40 hours per week and 5500 lines per week.

Here you go...I should have thought of that earlier!!
d.addesso@mchsi.com
I took it earlier........got second e-mail
that some were complaining they couldn't get on one file either, so she sent another file which loaded on my media player, but at least I could hear it clear as a bell.
Did they overhire or something earlier. nm
:
i was with MQ til earlier this year,
and i totally understand. I am using the Bayscribe platform, and yes there are markers you can go-to the same way. Was also able to transfer my MQ Expanders to the Bayscribe platform so i didn't lose years of input. This platform isn't quite as fine as DQS on many points, but it all balances out and i am happier than ever -- i wish you the same!!
earlier this year I tried them...
my computer crashed after weeks of their being in there setting me up. Lost everything, had to reload.
Think about it - virtually everywhere else sets up in hours. Is it worth it?
approach with extreme caution.
There were several posts earlier saying it was the
big Q.
Discussed earlier - DO NOT DO IT
As per the discussion over the last week, testing with them is most likely a terrible, terrible idea.
They're asking applicants to test with 10 LIVE files, which means all they're really doing is getting their backlog done for free.
Think about it - 30 applicants? 10 live files each? That's 300 files right there - no more backlog and no money spent. Yowza.
LOL-I saw one of those at the eye doctor earlier
this week. The gal taking my information just turn 62 on the 12th. She said she still uses the electric and the docs would probably retire it with her. She said it was a great conversation piece. My MIL has an old carriage return. It has 2 keys that rise above the others. Haven't seen that in forever.
Complaining about VR earlier
Weren't you MDIers complaining about MDI work going to VR about 6 months ago? If it already has gone to VR then what is the problem with that VR work going to Transcend's platform for VR? I'm not a VR advocate by any stretch of the imagination but I was following the thread a few months ago that your work was already going there and I was glad to have dodged that bullet when I turned down the job with MDI-Carlotta had told me the work would NEVER go to VR but then it did. I'm sure Transcend does not want another VR platform when they already have their own. Just an observation.
But an earlier post said
If the pay cuts are taking effect 10/1 then why would people not be getting calls until November?
Nope .. email on 1/18 promised "within the next week." Here we are, 1 week later and no info.

The minimum is 5500 per week, NOT 6600 per week. I think you made a typo. :)

Ah, ya big lug. Ya know ya miss us...
miss yog
I was with them for 10 years. Ah, the good old days...LOL...
what and miss all this fun!!
What i think is happening here is another company is assaulting KS. I don't think these posters, most of them anyway, ever worked for KS. I think its the same company who did a lot of recruiting on this board saying they were MTs and what a great company they were. Quite a few of us fell into that sandtrap and if we all hadn't been threatened I am sure there would be more telling their story here, (come on ladies you know who Im talking about). Well turns out they weren't a great company. It comes down to about 3 posters and maybe a couple of crazies out there who have nothing else to do. So my advice ignore all of it and see if this company doesn't show back up here trying to recruit, Ive already seen mention of them a couple of times in all of this, look carefully.
I so miss YOG
Those were truly the glory days. I could so easily make $1000 a week working for Carole. She was a little nuts, but so am I, so we got along great. It wasn't that hard to stay on her good side. She really appreciated good transcriptionists -- then she hung us out to dry and sold out to MQ. So sad, those were my best days.
did I miss something?
.
well here's one for you miss know it all
YOU STATE: And, as far as I know, poster's here cannot request to have their thread closed. Again, another ASSUMPTION on your part.
I KNOW FOR A FACT THE GOURDPAINTER ASKED THE THREAD BE CLOSED BECAUSE THE MODERATOR E-MAILED ME ABOUT A POST I MADE IN THAT THREAD STATING THE OP REQUESTED THE THREAD BE CLOSED.
So, you don't know it all, now do you, miss copy and paste... so next time state the facts!
Check Monster, CareerBuilder, MedHunters.com. Check with the companies you see listed if they're

I called earlier today
?
Sorry, I had not had coffee when I responded earlier ... sm
best of luck to you too. I'm sorry that you are having to go through all this. I think most of us just want to work hard and do a good job and be treated fairly by our employers. Seems so simple, but in my experience it has been hard to find. I'm moving on and hopefully will have found a better employer.
In refernece to earlier post...has anyone
Just checking to see where this stands.
Can you restore to an earlier date and get (sm)
the changes the techie made to your computer? I had 2 different companies set me up with an e-mail addy for their company, and got scam stock e-mails. I feel your pain.
I was out of work for a short while earlier sm
I baked a cake. LOL
I left that company earlier
They have no communication. I arranged to have a week off as I was moving. This was totally arranged and okayed. Then they took me off the books because they said I did not report to work and had abandoned my job. I explained the situation, and they had to sign me back on with direct deposit, etc. Evidently somebody did not communicate with somebody else in the company. I quit.
I am in a wonderful job now and am glad I went elsewhere.
i hope u are the one that contacted me earlier
if not, plz reply to me by sending an email.
I heard this earlier today...
... Are we worried yet? I feel worried.
I worked for them earlier this year (sm)
They are very nice people and paid on time DD. Platform was easy to learn as well. I had to quit because my daughter was very ill, but had that not happened I would still be with them. Good luck.
I think you are referring to my earlier post
and I am not in an illegal situatuation, though the poster who answered me tried to suggest that I am, or that I am somehow making the world less wonderful for other MTs.
If you feel used and abused, if your MTSO treats you as an employee when it comes to scheduling and as an IC when it comes to pay and benefits then you are in an illegal situation. I have been in similar situations and have simply chosen to move on. But I would not discourage anyone from slugging it out with their boss over the issue if they want to keep that job.
I simply don't want my personal very seaworthy boat sunk by somebody who has a hole in her own boat. 'kay?
Sorry, I didn't see the earlier posts at first.
It just shook me up with GP's original post, because I like GP.
not much work anyway - they probably would not miss
