(cont'd from posting above) pick up the slack from the rich's tax loopholes!
Who else are the people who refuse to work going to have pay for their stuff?
There is a not enough of a middle class to keep

disappearance of the middle class...
actually, we have always been 'poor' so to speak, so all this stuff is not affecting us so much...
I feel sorry for those who are now living like we are, only used to be considered well off; needing to cut back on spending, etc., noticing the pinch as the middle class gets squeezed more and more.
the funny part will be when we have some type of revolution in THIS country, which will happen. history only repeats. you keep people down and they will revolt. america is only going to take so much of this loss of liberties and rights, and jobs, total abuse of power and money against the little guy, etc.
While the American middle class is shrinking every day.

Not too bad. It's spring holidays and people are on vacation. Should pick up anytime. nm

How do people cherry pick on accounts? You mean like supervisors assigning jobs?
I did not know you could do that, but is that what you mean? I need to know because I will not work for that.
People Support. sm
I have worked for these guys for 1-1/2 years. Pay always on time, every time. I have had one raise in pay, as was promised when I started. I've never worked with better folks. Please email me with any questions.
People Support...
Does anybody have any information on People Support? I see they have several job offers available and I have never heard of them. Any info would be greatly aprpeciated--good or bad.
People Support, Inc.
Are they an off shore company?
People Support
No

Did work there in the past. Pay was a little too low for me.
People Support
Sounds like just what I am looking for. Are they hiring?

thanks so much for the feedback on people support. Do they provide equipment? I plan to check their website out again as I never heard from the first time.
Be prepared to go on welfare. (SM)
Most of the regions for Transcend are fairly good but there are a couple that the managers consistently overhire and leave us with no work. My manager and team leads do not care whether I eat or not or whether I have insurance because we have no work, but some of my friends tell me they have more work than they can do, so I guess it is just the luck of the draw. Too bad they keep a couple of bad eggs to make things stinky for some of us. One thing I learned a long time ago - do not complain or you get labeled as a complainer and then the next step is out the door. They are heartless.
Anyone hear of People Support?
I checked out their website. Am I wrong in assuming they outsource to Phillipines and Costa Rica? I had taken their test and they called me today and the number came up as Rapid Text, so now I am confused. Thanks in advance for any info.
People's Support Trans.
Any info on Peoples Support?
People Support Transcription? Anyone know anything about them? nm

AEGIS/People Support
Any recent info re: AEGIS/People Support out of Burbank? How is their platform, lots of ESL's, pay on time, etc??? Info. I found was over a year old. Thanks in advance.... wandering...
AEGIS/People Support
Thanks so much for the info. What is the name of the platform? This account will be acute care, that's all I know.
Do they offshore? In looking at the website it mentioned India, etc...
Thanks for the info...
Can't you just email or call the DQS support people? My last job let me do it. nm

What kind of platform does People Support use?

Any info on People Support Rapid text? tia nm

I love the company -- great people, good tech support, sm
good benefits. The pay could be more, but at least there is a production incentive tier that is not too tough to achieve. Overall, I would say this is probably one of the best places I have ever worked. If the no work situation continues, I guess I will just have to call them and ask for a secondary. Everyone in the office has always been very helpful and supportive. I just get nervous when it is not a holiday or anything and no files are available. That is just my little thing, I guess. I still would not hesitate to recommend the company to anyone.
Hope this helps.
People Support Rapid Text versus Keystrokes for radiology

if you had to pick one; medscribe or CyMed .. who and why would you pick em? considering both

I think they caught a lot of slack....sm
from the clients when the trouble was going on in India and most of their clients demanded to be brought back onshore. That is why most of the accounts are so good....very good dictators. remember, the easy stuff always goes offshore.
But who picks up the slack between SM
now and - 'eventually' - when we actually get to double our lines on VR?
class
It must take a tremendous amount of class (not to mention bravery) to anonymously insult hard-working people on a board created specifically for MTs. Also, just how educated is a person who ends her opening sentence with a preposition? (gee!)
Little to no class here-thank the co SM
via email or even better a thank you card and get on with life. How a company treats you once a year is really nothing to come to an MT board and post about.
Wow, Such Class
Your class is slipping

MDI-MD for SE work is top-class
Simple platform, great people, direct deposit, pays for adt, punctuation and spaces. Very strict QA. A small but growing company. Does not outsource.
Class action
You might have enough people to bring a class action, or just go together to hire an attorney...
Good luck!
D&L class action?
I think a bigger problem is many people complain, put up with it, or leave and complain but do not follow through - Otherwise how did it get so bad? I think everyone needs to fight back to this company and every company that does this THE FIRST time - if you bounce a check or do not pay what happens - you get it on your credit - send notes to the credit agency - you are a business - IC - and tell them - send them your unpaid invoices and they will place it on their credit report.
That's when we do a class-action and
Doesn't that sound like a plan?
At least YOU showed some class and maybe
reflect on how to treat valued employees. Good for you! Boo for your bosses.
The cookbook was the most low class SM
so-called gift I have ever received in my life from any employer. Don't forget they're saving money by never updating the home screen of the community page, we haven't had an employee of the month since November or December. I will listen and gag at all the patronizing things they say and wait for the bad news to be delivered, whatever it turns out to be.
try transriptiongear.com's tech support. They do gearplayer tech support whereever you bought yo

I believe the tax rate is the same for everyone in a certain class since you want to get technical a
You pay for your taxes at 100% if you are an IC but I dont think she was asking about taxes.
If you are single and have kids, then you usually pay no taxes or very little anyway unless you make over 30,000 a year.
more class than this site deserves...
fur shure!!HAHAHAHAHA!
ohhhhh my, sooo sorry (that was no class act)sm
And some on this board say the MTs complain (for no reason, their fault etc.
Ya know what, I am not here daily but I seem to see some of the same theme over and over and then to take heed. I know people stretch, etc, but I believe it, yes, I do.(one that got me recently was PAYPAL and having to pay $10 for a check that is $240 to get paid, (20 a month)
I think everyone should file a class-action suit
We need to CALL THE FACILITIES and let them know what is going on! OR Class Action Lawsuit
...we need to all go out on strike! If we ALL stopped working tomorrow, called the facilities and let them know why, where would WebmedX be?
It's wearing thin, and I'll sign onto class action!
Right now I'm working full-time for one of the Axis of Evil...where, as we know, the recent denied-until-it-happened pay cuts and global equilibration of account levels screwed me, so I'm trying to get out of that hell hole, where the only thing left after VR gets done are the crappiest of the crap. I saw light at the end of the tunnel, and it turns out it was a train coming through to smack me head-on.
So I guess I'll hang onto the 2 jobs I have now, while I continue to look for 1 or maybe 2 that will be more amenable. I don't mind working hard and I don't really even mind the account job #2 has me on (although it has been NWA all week...must have hired some more bodies), but I hate the perceived sneakiness of it while they've got my back against the wall. GRRRR
need to clarify...I meant if you are taking a specific "training" class on the platform, navig
then no you are not getting paid...but if you are typing reports then yes...
Middle of the pack - per se! sm
Not the worst, but certainly not one of the better companies. Good luck.
60K middle income?
Heck, I work for a small community hosp as employee making $35K, which is middle income in rural WI.
Its odd, but they are basically a middle man, which
I personally didn't like. It was frustrating at times. Also, in my experience, we got the bottom of the barrel work from the hospital, even more than usual for a national. The pay was low at 8 cpl, which I understand is still the current pay, so I'm sure DiskR gets a big hunk of what the hospital is really paying. Obviously, I know, its business, but it seemed odder than the usual set up of working for a national. I found it would have been more pleasant just working for the hospital, because you are 100% an employee of the hospital and not Diskriter. I just did not care for the whole atmosphere, lots of cherry picking and more than usual politics, but nobody really to turn to, as the hospital didn't want to know from beans, and DR had its own issues. Very much a stuck in the middle feeling...but not a good one.
Why should I take a Xanax in the middle
of the DAY when I am working?
Xanax is to be taken before 'crawling' into bed, it makes you fall asleep. Do you still not get it?
OMG, are you taking Xanax in the middle of the day when you are supposed to MTing? I bet you fall asleep in the middle of the day and then you cannot sleep during the night. Then you take another one, oh me oh my, you do not even follow doctors' instructions.
And one should definitely NOT DRIVE after having taken XANAX, it makes you drowsy and abstain from alcohol.
All things you do not know!
Scary!
READ THE LABEL ON THE BOTTLE!
Wow! This is toooooo much!
Middle ground
I know how you feel. Many of us are taking antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications. I'll bet our collective plight has done wonders for the pharmaceutical industry's profit margin. I can't tell you what to do, but it won't hurt you to look around and you likely can find a better employee situation with better benefits. Taking action is a good antidepressant as well. Try not to be in a slump. Stay active and proactive. I know it's easier said than done.
