OMG. Did you really sound that out loud? nm

For crying out loud
Why would you wait for weeks - are you new to this industry?
This is COMMON practice and I don't care how big or small the company is... Many are just advertising for clients they HOPE to get soon - many are poorly organized and/or UNDERstaffed for administrative purposes.
Make it a rule to apply for MANY jobs at once; you'll be lucky if two are hits and then you can choose the best fit for you.
Always ask up front: Do you tie payment for work done to payment received by your client?
Is this opening immediate or for the future?
If you ask the right questions up front and they don't perform, start sending more resumes ASAP.
Take it from someone who learned the hard way.
Loud and Clear.

Shhh! Don't say that too loud!

Well for sobbing out loud
Who said anything about stopping change????
hahaha... I HATE that loud, -

I used to laugh out loud at the VR-produced
nightly news on the TV sets at my local gym. I'd be watching it while using the treadmill, elliptical trainer or StairMaster, and would occasionally belt out a 'Bwa-ha-haaa!' at something the VR had written. Got more than a few stares from my fellow gym-goers, who probably thought I was nuts. The humor of VR sure did make my workouts go by quickly, though!
Its a message board for cryin out loud!
To bad we can't come on here and state our feelings or vent our frustrations without having to worry about all this. Some posts are over the line, but most are just people who want a place to talk to others in the same boat they are. I think the ones who are trying to dissect the posts to figure out who they are written by need to spend a little more time working!!!
LL ahh c'com on. IF ans out THERE loud & clear, not riled up MTs
If know very well LL, if the ans were avail in first place and some MT did not know the ans, and posted upsetting things, he TRUE answer WOULD be posted by other MT and you know it.
People get upset not knowing, then speculation begins what else can they do.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but (sm)
and by the way, I'm trying my best to stay on topic - LOL, but you are replying to my post about not discussing pay. I am, however, NOT the poster who said cents per line rate means nothing, it's up to you, or some fluff like that. Sorry, you're getting mixed up with who posted what. Besides, poster who said cents per line means nothing, I do see what she means by that. You wouldn't get it, though, so I'm not going to explain.
No way...sorry to burst your bubble
Hate to tell you this, but I also tried and tried at TT to get anything even close to 1500 lines, and on my last job I had done 2000 very easily in 6 hours. The account you are doing is an important part of how many lines you are able to get, and the account I had at TT was a very difficult one than my previous job...also using ExText has a lot to do with it too.
Hope you haven't quit your job yet...I don't recommend going to TT...it seems to me a lot of TTers are living in a fantasy land.
I left after trying for almost a year to get a good line count.
Good luck to you!
Burst Bubble
I took the advice of everybody here and went to work for a company that everybody was rooting for. Nobody had anything bad to say about them. It has been a couple of months now and I have been out of work more often than not. I have been given 5 or 6 accounts total for backup, although no training because they expect you to train yourself by reading the account specifics. And talk about pressuring you to move to the speech platform!!!!
It turns out this place is not all that and a a bag of chips. I wish I had not paid attention to all the accolades now. They apparently were in a hiring frenzy for the new account and hired anybody who applied and now everybody is out of work. They say they require 5 years of recent experience which is not true because 2 of my friends who have been doing this less than 3 years were hired too. All of us are out of work!
This is a major letdown for me so here I go again looking for another job. All I want to know is not how wonderful a company is but whether they have work to do. At this point I don't care how sweet they are. I just want to work.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but...
They don't care! There are plenty of MTs who would be happy to take the job you just turned down. The only thing you accomplished was getting it off your chest.
Don't want to burst a bubble
But I have done the same thing more than once. Their interest seems to be computer-generated. In other words they may be interested without an opening.
My timing may just have been off - hope you have better luck.
Sorry to burst your bubble
But I heard the EXACT same thing (MTs can be sued) from the AHDI Conference this year in Nashville. It is possible and I, for one, don't want to be the one to find out the hard way because I kept my head in the sand.
Nice holiday spirit. For crying out loud.....
This is still a democratic country, is it not? Why is it that if people don't agree with YOU or the bandwagon cheerleaders for a company, they get bashed? I worked at TT and found it to match all of the complaints that are read on here. That doesn't mean it's not a good company - just not a good company for ME (and others, by the way). CHILL..................
Hate to burst bubbles....but..
You will regret it if you go there.  Sorry.
Um, hate to burst your bubble, but...
I make 200-240 lines an hour now that I have left Amphion and work with a better platform. That's what I am trying to say. Their platform is not fair for MTs.
Didn't mean to burst your bubble, but
what I meant was with a company not hospital, with benefits, the most you can look for is 10 cpl and that is with shift differential.
hate to burst your bubble but
american-held territories such as the Mariana Islands (Saipan), Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Guam, etc. will allow companies to be offshore but still american. They did it with the garment industry and slapped a Made in the USA label on it.
Hate to burst a bubble...
I work for the Q and when the CBay buy out happened, many, many people sent letters to Oprah, Dr. Phil, Obama, everyone!!!!
No one cares (Yes, I care, but I am not important).
No one will touch this subject. Too many people are afraid to start something here. Like, if Oprah says something, don't you think all the Indians here in the states will cause a huge uproar?
There were so many girls from the Q that wrote local papers, had stories published and everything. It goes nowhere!
And stop buying foreign cars for crying out loud. sm
Look at the 10s of thousands of workers who are being laid off from GM and Ford after giving decades of their lives. Thanks to all you people who buy foreign cars. 
hate to burst your bubble but my guess is that
they will not even tell the clients - or they will tell them that they still have US MTs - even if they are not using them. Had it happen on a smaller scale and they made all those promises - took a while for the clients to figure it out - most bolted.
Get off your high horse for crying out loud. She did not mention that it was a transcription company
ENCOMPASS

Employee assistance is available to support all staff and their family members at no cost. This confidential service addresses a variety of issues that may affect the quality of your work or personal life including stress, depression, anxiety, grief and relationship conflicts
Maybe YOU should do some research before you jump all over somebody. WHen a person just mentions a name, it doesn't necessarily mean a transcription company.
Hate to burst your bubble but psychs do NOT make that!
What a joke!
I had to burst your bubble, but they are offshoring to NyDocs or Zydocs or something like that.
It is an indian company. They are offshoring your work and have been for quite some time now.
Pray that you never have a pipe burst in the middle of the night. sm
There is still a demand for graveyard shift plumbers, just as there is a demand for MTs with 'odd' hours, etc. Both just have to find the complementary company.
