I haven't noticed that.
Frankly all my accounts have been so low that I haven't worked enough to notice a line count difference. Some of my accounts pay more for headers and footers, some don't pay at all. That sounds pretty shady to have a 27% reduction though.
I haven't noticed that.
I have found during interviews and such that most companies are willing to train the right person. Most of these platforms aren't that hard anyway. My current job I trained in 15 minutes. It took a week or two to learn ALL the in's and out's of the program but most of them seem to be similar, IMO.
I've been there for a while and haven't noticed
any changes at all. Did I miss something?
I haven't noticed any changes - except positive ones!
Hi there - We probably know each other, LOL. I have been with Transcend for over five years as well and I love it. I have only noticed positive changes - 401 K match, better communication, etc. E-mail me privately to let me know what changes you are talking about. Thanks and have a great day!
In case you haven't noticed,
offshore MTs are not welcome on this board. You steal our jobs, do crappy transcription, and make the industry look bad. We don't need or want your opinion on it.
I haven't noticed any positive comments about any company
I did search the archives for OSi but didn't see anything recent.
I haven't noticed my computer acting funny
but I don't see why they need a report on what we have on our computer. Can't we just email them the information they need?
The pay cut thing is really bothering me. We already work too hard for what little we make.

Haven't noticed - do you keep track of individual report counts?

Haven't noticed any relation. Try and make contacts from previous posts to help weed out the

I noticed the same thing -- the
place was crawling with KS people who were delighted to share their joy with their jobs when they stopped by on their coffee breaks. Now you can hardly raise a response. Guess the advertising campaign was successfu and terminated?
another thing noticed ... sm
I've seen same news stories about people putting off or foregoing medical care and, yes, I think MTs will see a reduction in work to some degree.
However, one thing I've been noticing over the past few months and it seems to be showing up more and more recently is that patients are either not filling px or stopping their meds because they can't afford them. What alarms me is that a lot of these meds are not what you would consider an optional med, like something for prevention. They aren't taking really important meds for things like cardiac, diabetes, etc. Not good...
Sorry if I posted this in the wrong place in the thread ... not on these boards very much but just wanted to share. :-)
Wilma writes the same thing every time - have ya noticed?
I wonder if she is real... ?? Every time anyone asks for feedback on MedWare, she says exactly the same thing (a cut & paste response).
The only thing I noticed was counts slower to post - but accurate,I think
nm
Nope, not a catch. The only thing you need to do to qualify I think is have been there one year in
to be eligible. They pay like four weeks at full pay (your average weekly earnings) or eight weeks at half pay. Your choice. They strongly believe that it's the right thing to do.
Haven't heard a thing about a sale.
Not a thing.
I tested with MedGarde and haven't heard a thing...
and I thought I aced their test. Anyone else have a similar experience?
nope, not me, NOPE Worked to hard and long to sm
know what I know, my expertise is worth more and constant updating . Keep looking on the job boards. Email and ask if VR, pay for space and lowest to highest line rate for the POSITION (generic question) not I have 20 years exp. etc
This is not unusual
Many companies do this however, there are many who do not. Other companies may not dock you for errors, but will terminate you if you do not meet a certain QA percentage after a certain amount of time. Please bear in mind that if you are assigned to an account with lots of ESLs and ESLs are not your specialty, you may have blanks. Your overall score may end up being less than their required percentage of accuracy and you'll constantly get docked.
You may want to find out more about the account you would be working on if you were to take the position. You have to be a very quality minded person. This may not be the best deal for you if you are fairly new to transcription.
But this is NOT unusual...sm
MOST employers require their employees to work for a year before they provide paid vacation, not just transcription employers. EVERY job I have EVER had required 1 year of work before paid vacation, even fast food, so, this IS the norm! So, again....DUH!
Why would it be unusual to (sm)
audit someone during training? Isn't that what training is for? How would a person get out of training if their quality was bad?
Maybe I am misunderstanding this.
Why would that be so unusual? nm
Don't know the company, of course, but this is not unusual. sm
In many of these companies, the right hand doesn't know what the left is doing. I've been waiting 5 weeks to start with one company, but that's a record. It frequently takes 1-2 weeks to get everything ironed out. Don't panic yet, you are only one of many people the Acct. Mgr. is dealing with, probably many of them new. Usually you have a little while to get things ironed out before they will worry about you putting in all your time. Good luck.
Weird, but not all that unusual unfortunately.
This makes people feel even more disconnected. I think most people who work at home don't want to be interrupted by a lot of extraneous chatter - and perhaps a few would even be happy if they didn't hear anything from one year to the next but those are the exceptions.
A very different problem is when you only hear about your screwups - otherwise, you just get silence on the wire.
Both modes (dead silence and 'no news is good news') of communications violate everything we've learned over the years about work-related social interactions - and in my opinion, both of them are extremely unhealthy. In fact, they're both evidence of bad management.
You are indeed an unusual person
if you are happy with a $15,000 decrease in your earnings over 3 years....considering the price of EVERYTHING you purchase has gone UP, unless you know something I don't know. My husband and I are on a fixed income and we notice the price of EVERYTHING goes up it seems on a daily basis except for our retirement checks.
A very unusual question. You on a fishing
expedition for compliments?
it is not unusual for a bank to hold a
check over a certain amount for up to a week.
Not unusual, but some of the crappy companies
force MTs to work weekend days rather than simply hiring part-timers for weekend work like most companies do.
Okay.. It is just so unusual to see anyone on this board so excited to hear about a new job.. Maybe
we've all just become too cynical. They must be newbies though. Boy oh boy has the newness of jobs wore off. I have been looking but I just never get that excited. I just think, oh, I just hope this one is better than the last bad experience. It is hard not to get cynical sometimes, isnt it? We all just want a place to call home and there is just so much disappointment out there. I was impressed that they were so excited and couldnt wait to here from PMSI.. oh well back to my drawing board. I guess time will tell if it is everything they were hoping for.
Most contracts said either party can quit or fire at any time. Would be unusual to get locked into
s
Could I ask when you noticed it, and what you noticed,
you noticed, and how long ago you quit? I'm just trying to figure out what the deal is here. I love MDI and have always felt lucky to work for them. I hope they don't take a good company and ruin it.
I noticed that, as well. (nm)

Has anyone else noticed that
this sudden embracing of offshoring came immediately after it became public that Transcend is now offshoring? First, it seemed that the posters who said this weren't believed and proof was requested. Then came the sudden embrace of offshoring. I've noticed other posts on this board where there seemed to be preference shown to Transcend for some unknown reason.
Maybe, rather than lowering standards and doing all this embracing, -- just MAYBE -- it might be time to come clean and just admit that a company might not be as great as some people think it is and that maybe -- just MAYBE -- unhappy employees of that company who posted here in the past were telling the truth, like myself, only to have my honesty questioned by the administrator, who then went on to track the ISP numbers of the people who also expressed their problems with the company.
Now if I'm banned for noticing and expressing this, then that only proves to speak louder than this post ever could.
you have now only noticed?
i type freely when im not working (this helps me not think about work, but just do what i want).
so no need to make a big thing out of it if that is what you're trying to do. if you really wanna find something to pick on to make yourself feel real, go ahead, knock yourself out lol
I noticed that too. nm

Same old, same old. No changes noticed at all.

So far I have not noticed
I am disappointed in CyMed. They don't pay for spaces and it is very, very hard to get a line count for me.
noticed it too
First thing after reading this posting, I thought how can she/he be saying this with all those errors in the message.
I noticed that the ad said --sm
People Support Rapid Text. I have heard of Rapid Text. Maybe they changed their name??
noticed
I just thought it was ME!!
I noticed that too!
I had applied to it before it went MIA. I noticed it because I had emailed another MT about it who was also looking and she went to the site and could not find it. I looked again too and it was sure enough gone. I thought I was losing my mind for a minute.
Has anyone noticed that sm
Has anyone noticed that lately, once an MT has signed the offer papers for a company to be an employee, (that is formally accepts offer), the wind turns cold? Lack of communication all of a sudden, no updates on training, late training, late equipment and the like? This MT has had this happen on at least 2 occasions of late. The first time, ignored and put up with it. Stayed with company. Okay job but not much work. Now, same thing again, miscommunications re: start date, difficulty getting anything pinned down. The other day this MT was highly regarded, now the papers are signed and seems like all of a sudden this MT is in the way.
Deciding to stay with original company and stick things out. But just got an odd feeling about it all. Don't have any bad references, or bad work history... anybody else getting the cold shoulder? Just wondering if just becuase I'm paranoid does mean they are not interested in me. LOL. Thanks in advance for your comments. :)
I noticed that as well.
It is like it flew over the Bermuda Triangle. It disappeared.
yes I have noticed!
I am only into the transcription field new somewhat I graduated from my program in May 2005 and have not really started looking for at home until recently. As I had in-house jobs from time I graduated three years ago. This year they came to me emailed me I didn't really go on this site much before now so I wasn't aware of it. I did do a BBB search over 3.5 months ago but I swear nothing came up on them. Yes, I have learned but I do somehow plan to get that money back. Ever hear of rip off report.com? If enough people file a complaint for transam might get somewhere. I lost alot of money out of that and I refuse to let it die just like that. I am now with someone new but I wish I would have known more about this site mtstars 3.5 months ago. Thanks for letting me know though much appreciated!
I noticed it too...
no message (nm).
yes, I have noticed
 that too. what an insult!
Just noticed
The mods will move this to the Gab board so I'm sure I'll have to repost later.
Just noticed this
message. I work for Lee Perfect also.
Yep that's what I noticed...
What a misleading heading US-based MT companies Baloney!!
I have noticed too
It kind of bugs me cuz it makes it seem like they don't think we are smart enough to catch on to a new platform. It also makes it harder for us to learn new platforms or get the chance if they won't accept you unless you have that prior platform experience. I personally want to do some VR to learn it so I have that as knowledge but can't because I don't have any experience in it. But, I do have over 17 years transcription experience which should account for something, both for VR and other platforms.
You know what I have noticed, the ones
that are putting God and family first aren't the ones that are so mean and spiteful on here. Thank you for understanding where I come from. For the rest of you, you should give it a try, God and family, you just might be happier! I will pray for you!
