They offshore. Lots of posts about them if you'll read
the archives.
The pay is very low and they also offshore. If I can find the link, I'll post it.

What crap! I get my lines in and they ask me to work
extra all the time. There is no way to indicate OT, just total lines, at least on my accounts. Everything I say can be documented. You need to get your facts straight before you start throwing that BS around.
Can you say where you work where it's so easy to make your lines? All I come across is crap out

Low line counts; paying long distance; getting crap work skipped by others.

That's going to be nuts...I do ASR work too, plus work split shifts. We'll NEED a spread shee

I'll love to know who you work for. I also work every weekend with no extra pay.
It'd be nice to get paid for all the nights and weekends I work.
They offshore work
Some of their people are really nice but they send a lot of work offshore. They care about the all mighty dollar and not the people that work for them....
He would have fun with the work being sent offshore
If WE are going to be nick picked for commas, semi-colons, etc., then what in the world happens to those reports being sent offshore? They don't understand English let alone where to place a comma or not to cap a generic drug name. When then day comes for me to correct offshoring mistakes ---- I will kiss this job good-bye.
They offshore and u run out of work!!!
You will run out of work as it is with them and when they find offshore to cover the account, you will lose all your work!!!!!!!!! They are a lying bunch of theives!!!
It is well known they offshore their work.
They do not hide that, just wondered if it went to 100% now.
Companies that do not offshore work
Are there any companies that pay a good line rate and are good to there MTs that do not offshore there work? I am trying to help a friend looking for part time work, but she is staying clear of those that offshore..
Any help would be appreciated.
They offshore. That's where all the easy work goes.
All that's left for U.S. MTs is ESL and difficult dictations.
They still offshore. I work for a better company
and they don't offshore.
does not send work offshore
MedScript Services in Florida
the offshore work - BTDT -
Does OSI send work offshore?
If so I won't bother. TIA
THey offshore the good work. nm
It if offshore work. You'd be better off working
at Wal-Mart.
She's right TT does NOT send work offshore.
Never have and never will. The day they do is the day I quit because I never have worked for a company that offshored and I never will.
OSI does send offshore work
nm
Yes. I will not work for companies which offshore.
If we all did that, the companies would have no choice but to come back and give us our jobs back.
They claim it is only 15%, but it is more like 60% offshore work.
The offshore swine get preferential treatment over the US transcriptionists. The screen shows there is work to do and suddenly everything is gone but the bad dictators, and I do not mean 10 jobs, I am talking at least 45 jobs at one time off my accounts just disappeared. I thought about changing my name to hari skrishna for a while so I could get some work, but found another job instead.
Do they send work offshore?
Just wondering.
I'll never work for another co. that isn't 100% U.S.!!! NEVER! nm

I thought Transcend did not offshore work.

Work for a company that doesn't offshore
Quit Precyse. Work for someone who does not offshore. nm

Wbx doesn't even send work offshore. nm

Pretty soon they'll have us pay them to work
It's the same with most companies anymore. Here's how to tell a lot about the company before you aggravate yourself with training, etc.
Who has the most job offers posted? How frequently do they post them? If you see a company trying to hire all day, every day of the week they have a problem, because those they do hire do not stay.
A position that has to be posted so frequently is not a job worth having. Someone left that job for a reason, and it's probably the same reason you won't want that job either.
Tell me, does this sound like a job you would want?
IC at 6 cents a line - You have to give them a schedule when you work, and if you aren't working they call and beat you over the head?
Pretty soon, as I said, they will have us working for free, or worse we will owe them money to sit and type all day. LOL.
That's what happens with me, too; it'll work at the beginning of the day but then not.
My tech guy said he'd look into it but I'm thinking it's just a glitchy program.
I'll bet this one's a real joy to work for.....
;p
Go to work for them and you'll find out
LOLOLOLOL
If you ask for more lines, they'll work with you (NM)
:D
Believe me, you'll work weekends so don't
go bragging just yet. Chances are M-F will find you running out of work.
I'll tell you how its taking work
Say you, and others like you, come on (or remain on) at the beginning of my shift. The work volumes drop dramatically as YOU make up your hours - TAT issues or not. By the time you've made up your time, there's maybe an hour's worth of work left. That runs out rapidly as my shift was already FULLY staffed, and I get stuck sitting there the whole 12 hour window - and if I'm lucky enough work will trickle in during those extra 4 hours that ALL of us scheduled to work my shift that are fighting for it can get their time in and call it a night.
Night after night I run out of work an hour or 2 before my 8 hours are in. Sometimes I only have 20 minutes left to type - but I am forced to sit there 4 extra hours in order to get that stupid 20 minutes - knowing I'll be short EVERY night, so if I don't make my 8 tonight, the chances of me making it up another day are very slim, because everyone is flexing all over the place. Sure it gives us perfect TAT - it also gives us 4 hours of our lives a day, wasted and unpaid!
No I do NOT want to make it up on my days off. I am already spending 12+ hours a day chained to my workstation. My days off are sacred for my sanity. Maybe it doesn't bother you, but it certainly bothers me, and I quit the last job I had where flexing 24/7 was expected.
I know you need to make your hours. We all do. The MTs are just doing what they have to do. The only real solution is to STOP OVERHIRING. Otherwise flexing eventually gets forced on every employee on every shift, whether they mind it or not!
TransHealth does not send work offshore. Hires only US MTs. nm
time to work offshore hours and grab
all you can away from the 'partners,' eh?
Work for a company that does not offshore. Save our jobs.

I was offered a position editing offshore work that
was also Surprisingly good. I knew without being told that the work was being done offshore as it was not that good.
If I were to go to India, or any other non-English speaking company I would not be able to do the work either, but then I'm not trying to compete with native MTs. If I say I have a first rate product, then I need to be able to prove it and thus far I haven't seen it.
Work for a company that doesn't offshore. Support US MTs.

I have talked to too many hospitals that do not care if the work is done offshore. sm
It is hard enough for the public to understand what we do, much less have them stand behind us in this.
Are there any companies left who don't send work offshore?
?
No need to look. Sending 90% of the work offshore has put money in the bank for me. sm
It has lowered my stress level. I work half the hours I used to. Unfortunately for those of you that have your heads in the sand, there are options for companies now that do not include putting up with what we had to for years from MT's. My accounts are happy because the turnaround times are better than ever and the quality is about the same. The offshore companies have improved greatly in the past 10 years and the quality for some of them is the same or better than some in-house departments. Even my customers are amazed when they realize this.
I tell my customers that the work is being done offshore and guess what? THEY DO NOT CARE! They just want it done fast, done right and at a lower cost. They are happy and refer us to other hospitals who also DO NOT CARE THAT IT IS BEING SENT OFFSHORE.
You are fooling yourselves if you think hospitals will not use a service if they send work overseas.
I just wish I had done this 10 years ago instead of 3.
If you think I can't sleep at night, you're wrong. Quite the opposite. I don't feel bad about sending work out of the country because I am now providing money to someone who might otherwise starve.
As Americans, we do not know what it is like to truly be hungry or need shelter. If we did, we might appreciate what we have a lot more. I certainly do now and to be honest, I am happy not to have to listen to every whine and ailment of transcriptionists and excuses all day long. I KNOW the work is getting done.
They only offshore if the client wants it. Most accounts do not want their work offshored. NM

Doesn't it bother you that they send work offshore? nm
nm
I guess you'll find out when you go to work there....sm
Just be sure to not resign from Transcend until you see if this other company is truly all they told you they would be.
Great idea. I'll work on this in
Thanks.
I don't think you'll find any work here..unless you have a C-phone...
Not much work here to keep me busy or even make my line requirements.
