Now that's depressing and disgusting at the same time. I hope you found something else.

Sorry you had a bad time with them. Hope you found a good fit elsewhere. nm

Sorry, hope you have found something better..sm
Like a post stated below...LK and SS are two of a kind....going back on their word regarding pay is a tactic owner has used forever.
I hope you have found a good position. nm
I hope it's a rumor..I left MQ for KS 3 years ago..I finally found a place I love (sm)
so I hope the rumor is not true!
It will get better, I hope. Too much time on my hands means too much time on ebay! lol nm
That is truly depressing
I was just saying that to my husband yesterday, that I bring home the same money I did in the 1990, but feel like I work a lot harder. The frustrating thing is there is not a thing we can do about it. It would be great if MTs could refuse to work for such low pay, but everybody would have to do that, and that's not going to happen. I don't think there is anybody out there doing this for the fun of it. I am in my early 50s, have been doing this for 20+ years. I don't know of any other profession that is still paying the same amount as it did 15+ years ago. What is the alternative besides leaving this profession all together?
Very depressing
It's just that most of us left other companies because of these reasons, time clocks, strict schedules, low pay, having to request days off.....so loved working for MDI and having what I really consider flexibilty. I don't think what Transcend is telling us about their flexibility is even close to what we have been doing for MDI...not the same. If I wanted to work for a company with benefits I would have worked for one. Now it is just going to be a pain. Negative, yes, but been there done that!
Yes really and I hope their time will come
to be called on it by my state anyhow as I was an employee and it was a state requirement in my state that they deduct. My state told me they were investigating their practices and refunded to me all their late charges for not paying the taxes. Employees are not supposed to take out their own taxes. That is an IC job.
I worked for one like that and then found out they did not pay on time all
the time and that was a shocker and then it was wrong to boot.
That's a thought. I just found the ad very familiar and odd the second time around.
But, your reasoning makes sense. It is so hard to trust anyone these days. You never know how your dealing with when they are so secretive etc..
I worked for them for a short time and found the
platform very cumbersome. It was the worst platform I have ever worked with. The people were nice, a little flaky, but nice. Communication could have been better. Pay was on time and direct deposit.
I hear ya. This just keeps getting more and more depressing. So, now, where is the appreciation for
the loyal U.S. MTs. No bonuses, no incentives (only if you work on the holidays plus the day before and after NOT WORTH IT), no acknowledgment, and most importantly, we get to fight for work. I think these bigger companies need to figure how why the turnover is so high. No one is valued anymore or shown any appreciation whatsoever. Oh wait, I guess we are noticed on those days that they sent out the we need you to work more, we need everyone on that account. Yes, let me drop everything and rush to help YOU out because I'm such a valued employee. Bah Humbug!!! 
Anyone know anything about Charts in Time? Only thing I found in the archives sm
mentioned tons of bad ESLs and not enough work -- not too encouraging. Perhaps that has changed? Anyone working for them currently or know anything new?
okay so she wasted her time looking for blanks on a report that you obviously could have found yours
Now how is that her job again? The point is be responsible for your own reports and take pride in them...and being an MT is more than just knowing terminology..I am sorry you had a bad experience with QA but not all of us are like that...
Oh boy I will. It is nothing but depressing out there. I applied at our local hospital because I can
hardly stand another day of this disappointment. This business has gone down the tubes!!
I have found this time of year to be extremely busy. People
are scheduling elective procedures while they have a long weekend off and don't have to worry about missing work, plus docs do their best to get everyone home for Thanksgiving and I have DS galore. I do think around Christmas it slows down, but I also think there are lots of MTs taking time off during this time frame so you would think the work would balance out - less work, but less MTs, so still a fair amount of work.
It has been slow for me since at least August, so it isn't just the holidays.
That is the most disgusting thing to see these
trivia questions posted on each account update that she is sending out -- it was JOKES last week. This weekend it is trivia questions to read before we get down to the work-related portion of the supe email. Supe must need something to do if she is spending her time thinking up trivia questions or jokes to send out to us on COMPANY email!
This is annoying to say the least when I sign on to go to work or check email, and get that message from supervisor that says, "watch next update for answer" to this trivia question! Is that work related, or what???
Why is this person disgusting?
I for one agree. It is thoroughly frustrating to hear someone say that the offshoring MTs are just so great and the American ones are terrible at their job. You obviously are Love it, Love it poster and are just too much of a coward to state your name. YOU DISGUST ME!!!
AMPHION is disgusting
I could never make their line count even with all the mandatory overtime because of their unpaid demographic mess, and I had six years experience at the time. I picked up an understanding of the account pretty quick but I am not a data entry clerk. I resented that a lot and knew I had to do something else, however it didn't take me long to find another job where I could be productive and make the line count without having to work overtime every day. Now I am back to my routine of dinner with my family and foosball in the basement without worrying about that damn hour of overtime. Amphion needs to get a grip before they lose all their MT's
Hope Transtech is NOT still hiring, because we are all fighting for work right now OVERHIRE big time
Be careful right now, because TT has much overhired, promising something big coming up, but nothing seen by the MT's yet, just LOW WORK load.
I did to. Work late shift and did not check msg in time. Hope to get recap
nm
Most disgusting? I can't imagine anything worse!
You really need to get a life if that's the "most disgusting" thing in your reality. Or else your time spent on this planet has been incredibly blessed. You don't have anything more important to worry about? Unbelievable.
Yup. I can sure verify that story! Disgusting. nm
nm
Supe says "they rock!" This is so disgusting
to hear every time they put some new MT's on our accounts.
Today it's all jokes being sent out in emails! Just what we need, more emails!!!!!! We can read joke books or joke calendars. Would rather not have those sent by our SUPE in company emails !!!
That's disgusting, 1000 US worker versus 600
that I gave Transcend the boot a few years back during their difficult times. They were awful to work for, and now I know why. This was all hush hush back then and still now. We're not supposed to have the intelligence to read the newspapers, let alone find the news. Backstabbers for sure, and one of the biggest games in town, when they always screamed they would never do this to us. Yeah, right. Go Transcend India!! And they don't even have the guts to call us US MTs - we're domestics. 
I've been following your story because I find it disgusting the these MTSOs stiff people
and get away with it. I find it awesome that you had the courage to stand up to her and send this notice to the hospital. Why shouldn't they know what liars and thieves they contract to. A lot of business out there that subcontract, especially hospitals, are even running background checks so they know how they are dealing with. I'd file a complaint with BBB, Department of Labor..anywhere I could to get her bad name out there and hopefully if she does try to solicit more business she won't be able to. Again, I applaud you!!!! Good work!!!!
Try to be less negative? There is only negative here. It is a depressing way to start the day but
nm
I'm lookin for part-time work (about 3-4 hrs daily) after 13 years of full-time, anyone know of a
company that is hiring flexible part-time? I'm starting a career in real estate but don't want to totally quit transcription, but I think most places require 25 hours a week and I cant work weekends, as real estate sales are the biggest on the weekend with open houses and people off work to shows homes to. If you know of a place I'd sure appreciate the info. Thanks!
MDI-Maryland is an excellent company, pay on time all the time, great line rate.
I left also because I went out and got my own client(s).
They are very nice people.
The only negative I can think of were the e-mails from the owner say work, work, work, we are out of TAT.
Other than that, which is very minor, it was a good experience.
Not what I was told; 3500/wk part-time & 6000 wk/full-time. nm
nm
Precyse Solutions is hiring part-time and full-time right now.
Saw this on their website.
i work 3 part-time jobs now. it can be confusing if you are learning both at the same time, but sm
other than that not a problem for me. best to get one down before starting to other or you might become overwhelmed.
MDI-MD: What are daily line requirements for full-time/part-time? Thanks! nm
nm
I have one full-time job and 2 part-time jobs. It can be tricky at times, sm
but at least I now have plenty of work always. I have some big financial goals, and right now that seems to be the only way to accomplish it. I can't see any reason why it would not be legal -- why would you say that? I am cheating no one, except myself (out of sleep and a social life). Fortunately, I am single with no children or anything. I cannot imagine doing this if I had a family. At least my dogige understands.
I've been there quite a while, pay on time, growth spurt right now, so good time to get on board,
new accounts and lots of work, and before someone says it, I'm not management, just an employee.
per his request I told him Time To Call, he called Not That Time, emailed me
nm
Full time/part time based on # hours or
# lines per pay period, nothing to do with quality. The lower the quality the higher the pay it seems.
Solution: Find another job, part time or full time.
Post your resume, hope for the best.
Depends on how flexible you need to be and if full-time or part-time
They are a little more flexible if you are part-time. Not so much full-time, where you can be a little flexible within the day (not a strict 8-5), but if you are scheduled for Monday, you have to work Monday unless you request off, and if you are scheduled for a Holiday, you have to work the holiday, unless you request off. They encourage you to clock out every time you are not typing to keep your lph rate up, which means an 8 hour day can turn into 12 hours at the computer. If they run out of work (which they do quite often), you have to make the time up. They are also leaning more towards Voice Recognition, so MTs are getting trained on that, but not sure what percent will go that way. It does affect how much work you may get though in the other accounts.
They are advertising for full time HIM now, do they still hire part time? nm

DVHP gives vacation time to part-time people. nm

Any companies out there where you do not have to fill in a time sheet or on a time clock?
I would like to do my lines and be done, and still get my benefits. Any companies out there that go by line production rather than hours to qualify for bennies?
OSi with part time health insurance and paid time off
OSi does offer health insurance and paid time off for part time. Yes, there have been changes. Yes, there will probably be more changes. I don't see anywhere that hasn't had changes. If they don't change they will be out of business the way the economy is these days, just like some other companies. If they don't make money, then I don't make money. So, what is so different with OSi compared to other companies? I see complaints constantly about all companies. I don't think it is the fault of the company that they outsource or use voice recognition. It just is life on life's terms these days. There is still enough work for us, at least for me. 
My thoughts exactly, why waste my time when you know you are only hiring full time? nm
nm
From time to time those paper checks aren't good!

This is what I have found while looking for the right job - sm
I have one child still at home who will be going off to Kindergarten in a couple of years. I do not want to put my child in day care, so I need a job that provides an adequate window to be able to finish my work. I do 1000 lines per day, 5 days a week. I know that isn't a lot, but with a child at home with me during the day, that's the most I can do at this time. I have yet to find a company who will allow you to have employee status and flexibility with your schedule. Yes, you can generally pick your own schedule with most companies, but I just cannot say that I will be able to finish my work within an 8-hour period of time. That is why I am looking into FN at this time.
To each his own. I have found in all my
years of working at home that what one MT thinks is great, another thinks is not so great. The opinions of the company that I stated are my experience. It could be mine only. I am only trying to help.
Found it! (nm)
