Early on in the thread, a poster told the OP she should just suck it up and do the job.
Sounds like this is the suck it up poster trying to back out of what she said.
This is exactly why I told a poster earlier to get her degree! nm

you must really suck at your job
They suck
They are VERY unprofessional.
they suck.
true enough
And they still suck
Indian QA must be an oxymoron. I've seen work coming from India and it's terrible.
SUCK UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trying to move up in the company? LOL!
Maybe that's why they suck.

Suck it up.
You know what?
I don't really care if you believe me or not. In fact, it's more fun for me if you believe the hype that MTs are relegated to making minimum wage. It's your pity party. Go ahead and wallow in it.
If you are actually interested in knowing how I managed to reach that level, see my post below. Or don't. No skin off my nose.
Peace.
THEY SUCK!
they are HORRIBLE to work for now, they outsource overseas and expect us to work for the amount they do there. I just left there and would recommend everyone STAY CLEAR. there is only ONE good manager there, the rest lie to you and are horrible. add to that, there is never enough work to go around, as they let the HOURLY people do all they want while the production pay ppl have to struggle to get enough $$ to make bills. at the end I was making like $5 to $7/hour there. NO FREAKIN WAY.
They suck.
Truly.
I think we all just need to suck it up and get used to it. It is the way things are now. sm
The world is shrinking and MT is far from the only industry where some jobs are going overseas. Unless it changes in all industry it will not be changing for us either. I don't see it stopping any time soon. Best we can do as American MTs is prove that we are worth keeping and paying.
Those threats suck IMO
And whether or not they are actually considering offshoring, I think they know it's a red button for many MTs, and in the worst case scenario it sounds like a deliberate manipulation of their MTs feelings toward offshoring to get their desired result.
Either way, threats and manipulation is a terrible a way to extract more work from people.
Yeah, the pay does suck....
Took a pay cut, and so far, the majority of the dictators suck. Ran out of work on one account already, put me on a few other backup accounts. NOT enjoying my experience so far. Gonna give it some more time.
Doesn't suck at all to be me
The difference may be that our employers actually have a choice whether to keep us around or not. They make this choice every time they give us work to do, and then pay us for that work. They never promised to love or even appreciate us, only to pay what they owe us and (we hope) treat us with fairness.
Cards given by children to parents are more about teaching the child to think of others than rewarding the parent. I'm quite happy I am no longer required to display ''refrigerator art.''
I never really got the card thing. Monumental waste of paper and postage. What counts is how you are actually treated day-by-day, not whether somebody shells out a few bucks to give you a Hallmark moment.
Wow. So, your philosophy is, suck it up.
I certainly would not want to work with you. I have been in this business close to 30 years and when I managed nor as an MT would I ever put up with an attitude like yours. I am not cyber-bullying just IMHO you don't have to suck it up and stay anywhere, especially where death in the family is concerned. There are always other jobs, many fish in the sea, and people who treat people with respect. And now you can just suck that up.
True, plus the suck rats always
seemed to love the conference calls and tried to jump in with all kinds of stupid questions, I guess to try and make themselves look like enthusiastic eager beavers. All they did was prolong the agony of the call. I really like working independently.
Benefits suck? Can you elaborate..
High insurance premiums? not enough PTO or vacation time?? What's the pay? I was told it was 9 cpl..and that doesn't sound too bad these days.
no idiot, been there and they suck haha
Let me know when you wanna play with the big people. On one job, I make $23/h plus incentive. Full benes. 20 weeks PTO/yr. Second job REAL IC pays 11 cpl including headers/spaces. Now, who is jealous? Not that you would admit it. LOL. Now, go make your hard earned sucky money LOL
Suck it up and work the extra or move on!! sm
I am one of those MTs who had gotten sick. I hate to call of sick, but believe me, I could not work and then, once I was well, I stepped up and tried my best to work extra! Yes, it is the holidays and we all have a lot to do, but if the account gets behind and they get ticked, they can pull it and take their business elsewhere and where will any of us be? WITHOUT A JOB, that's where. If you don't want to do your part and step up to the plate for a company that is by FAR one of the best out there, well then you don't deserve to work for such an awesome company. Take it from someone who knows first hand, the grass is definitely NOT greener elsewhere. Look at all the MTs out there complaining that they don't have any work. I would much rather be in our situation than in theirs. I, personally, plan to work my tail off this week to help get things back in TAT! I wholeheartedly cannot imagine that QT is doing any kind of outsourcing! They have said all along that they do not support this! I hate coming on and reading things that are not backed up with FACTS. If you can't give solid evidence about the accusations you are making, then just zip it! Sorry for the long post, but it gets me fired up to see this company getting bashed when it does not deserve it!
I work for them...benefits this year suck
God help us if we get sick. They deductible is sky high and no meds coverage. I can't believe they boinked us that way. I'm checking into other companies.
Benefits suck, pay sucks, they will bug the crap out of you!

Beth, you need to grab an extra six-pack and suck um down.
xxxxxxxxxx
Yep, they're definitely up there pretty high on the SUCK list
another evil company
and before anyone asks, I am not a suck up and I am not mgmt. I am an MT who needs insurance becaus
my husband losing his job last year and his new company having an outrageously high plan.
Not true - Amphion may suck in some ways but they always paid on time.
x
I don't hesitate to ask. Have been told "yes", and have been told "no." Never been to
:+
So telling someone to suck it up has nothing to do with lack of spiritual grace or insulting a perso
I am not the poster you originally addressed this to, but I will from now on suck it up and consider myself under your advice and control. Feel better now? For some reason, I don't... I think I need to check to see why...
ooops. I mean that individual plans suck..not stick as I stated in previous post...NM
Hello??!! I'm the original poster! I think I can respond to the poster who replied to my original
nm
Not that poster but
why was she rude? I didnt see anything rude in her post. So she got more lines than you, how is that rude? I work at Transcend also and I got my lines in that I usually get. I had to type a different shift of course. I work different times of the day when it is slow and I always manage to make it.
Also, the email that was sent out I think was very considerate. Any other company, when slow ( and they ALL get slow), just slows down with no explanations, reassurances, or care.
That's not what the poster said. Poster said
If the poster was hired at 8 cpl last year and makes 13,001 lines to qualify for the incentive (0.0025 cpl at 13,001 lines) that means the poster only makes 1072.58. But the MTs hired after Nov. 1 at 10 cpl makes 1100.00 for only producing 11,000 lines. Tell you what, that would freak me out if I just got hired there. Because no matter when you get hired, in a few short weeks or months you're just the old worn out mare to them.
Are you the same poster as below?
I appreciate your comments about new accounts coming on board in January and June. That is very likely.
The MTs here who are sobbing, as you say, and cannot have it both ways ARE the ones who did keep a fairly regular schedule and did for years, and now for the last couple months the rug has been pulled up from under them.
To the poster(s) below who is/are asking
about TransHealth, I am the one who answered your questions and got flamed for being honest. This is exactly why I said before I will never put why I hated a company again. I have no reason to lie, but just believe me when I say it is definitely in your best interest(s) to stay away from this company. They are the absolute worst out there and that is saying something!!
Not that poster, but I know what he/she SM
is saying because I have worked with a number of people over the years who will look you straight in the eye and tell you that they were the best transcriptionists and in fact they were terrible! Usually they had a bunch of years in, but they had limited value - like typing only 1 type of work or had only worked at 3 little rural hospitals, like that. They functioned well as long as the dictator was American and spoke at a normal rate of speed but they would never be able to do the kind of work a normal transcription service has.
Not the poster above, but that's how I met this
person. I had a problem and posted about it on this very board, and this person was so kind and caring and helpful. Nothing to do with a job - but with med transcription. She has been a mentor AND friend to many, many MTs for no financial gain whatsoever at all - thus anyone even bothering to post in her defense, let alone know who she is. She got nothing out of me, had nothing to gain from helping me - just went out of her way to help me, and I know has done the same for others. A really nice and professional MT - one who wants to help others newer to the field, etc. I don't see her post here anymore for a long time, and I just pray that she does not read the boards either. Really an all time low for MTs to post personal attacks on a person - I'm sure Admin isn't aware of it, or this whole thread would be in the trash where it belongs.
I think the poster was asking
what companies require you to use an FTP site to download your dictation files and send them back. I understand what you mean, but the company I work for does not require MTs to use an FTP site. I could be wrong, but I think that is what the OP was referring to.
this may be the same poster over and
over again. Diskriter has a huge turnover. H-U-G-E, both inside the main office and with transcriptionists. I couldn't take it any more. I was jumped from one account to another to another. I was told to work weekends and when I would work the weekend, I sometimes would not have any work. I actually made $23.00 one weekend after an 8 hour shift. I was fuming! They supposedly had all this work, but I certainly wasn't getting any.
I should state that I have been a Transcriptionist for 12 years, so it's not the quality of my work or lack of experience. When I first started with Diskriter, I was making my line count and my pay was not that great, but I figured I would stick with it. It just got worse. I left. I'm sure everyone has a different experience with them.
I'm not that poster above, but as far SM
as my experience with them went, he/she is speaking the truth. I did a SmartSource account and then went to work directly for Diskriter and it was like night and day. More like NIGHTMARE working for DR directly. The PTO, the health insurance, holidays, everything was totally different and much less than when I was on the SmartSource account. DR's ever-changing management was annoying because you never knew who was running what from week to week.
I think that poster was just trying to help SM
because if you wait for the administration to come onto a public bulletin board to address your questions, you will be waiting quite a while.
Not the other poster, but yes, I would say they-sm
have a lot of work that is actually worse than on the test. I wouldn't recommend this job to anyone who doesn't have a LOT (and I mean a LOT) of ESL experience. All of the accounts are pretty much the same, littered with these horrible ESL doctors.
Not the poster but
I got mine from transcriptiongear.com. You can buy it directly from the Instant Text website too. I paid 180 four years ago, but it was worth it. I have tried all the Expanders out there, and this one is by far the best!
For poster below not OP
.
poster below is right - MDI-MD
 where'd the little blue smiley guy with the thumbs-up go?
lol. Not as if I am the only poster who gets
x
Sure am! And also a certain poster on another
board, one who likes star trek. There was no alternative other than to make this move! My DH probably does not realize it is reality, and I am sure I will be told to bring in the money, anytime soon. But in the meantime, he can help me now. I sure would love to have e mail buddies. Just don't know if the e mail stuff works on this board right now. In the meantime, I will be here saying hi, this place and another have certainly gotten me through a lot lately, especially for companionship. THanks for all your kind words, that is for sure!
For all this poster said.

These could all be the same poster using a
showed how unprofessional she is by ranting on the other thread. This is so yesterday.
The poster below is right sm
BOS is fine and we have to have SOME sort of industry standards. HOWEVER, the account specifics have to trump the BOS every time. The client gets it how they want it, BOS to the wind. Now, if your QA person is always changing her mind, that is different.
I don't like she didn't want to go back after the fact and listen to your blanks. I don't care how she gets paid, that is a waste of time, period, end of that story, thanks folks. She may well be an idiot, if she actually thinks that saves her any time. It would increase her billable hours...still an idiot.
Take a bow, poster, take a bow....
Thanks for saving me all of that typing and waking me up.
For a fleeting second, I thought maybe I needed therapy because I actually ENJOY my job and make very decent money.
Again, BRAVO!!!
Thank you! The other poster obviously sm
has a reading comprehension problem.
