In Reply to: I find that interesting as the CEO - BewilderMT
addressed that when she came to Transtech and emphatically that she was not interested in offshoring and they are not going to offshore. Sheesh! She worked for ONE company that offshored and she left that for a reason (didn't like offshore).

Oh, for heavens' sake! (sm)
If you were at all familiar with DRC, you would know that the current clients REQUIRE all MTs who do their work to be USA-based. Why would the CEO of Acusis spend big bucks to buy a thriving, successful company, then turn around and send the work offshore and lose the contracts that made DRC worth buying in the first place?
Move over, Chicken Little... you've got houseguests for the weekend.
Oh for Heavens sake! That is old news and all their clients already know about that.
Come up with something new, and maybe people will listen.
I liked it there as well - only reason I left
was the platform didn't work with satellite and I am so remote it is the only option available for high speed so best wishes.
Left for much the same reason
Not sure the manager I had ever did any type of QA or even had much experience before either
I actually left for the same reason as you ..
nm
She was the reason I left too - (sm)
and I have NEVER in my whole carerr had any problems anywhere I worked. I left just to get peace of mind back....If she is there, be careful....
I left for the same reason and doing very well now. nm
:)
I left for the same reason --
After 2-1/2 years, my cpl rate went from 11-3/4 to 6 because of their tier and them not providing me the work. Not only was I not getting as many lines, but taking almost half the pay and they were still of course getting the full amount from their clients. And the whole time they were advertising for more transcriptionists. I complained because obviously my line count could not improve to the 20000 per pay period I was used to if they were putting more and more on my account and they just said they had to keep new people trained for new accounts. Of course, they make a lot more money if they keep more transcriptionists and have everyone puttnig out lower line rates. They are the only winners.
ANOTHER reason why I left
a week ago. I had to work every Saturday...no more! :)
I left OSi for Medware for this very reason
And glad I left!
The pay cut I was asked to take was a reason I left.
T and M couldn't afford to keep me at the same pay level either which stunk because you were a very nice company to work with.
That was the main reason I left. It still is horrible. nt
Sound files still bad, main reason I left. nm
I have heard other people comment on lack of work and have left for that reason. How much of an
issue can this be. Also, is the sound on these accounts poor. That is the other problems I have heard people comment on. I was really looking for uptodate comments. How bad are these issues at present. I dont want to leave one company with no work problems and go to another one with the same problem. I cant be available 24/7 to get work with having a family.

Good heavens!
I didn't know Deb was the owner!! Add modesty to her many attributes. I've known her for years and years before TT and she never told me she was the owner. If she is the "owner" someone said was moody, I beg to differ. She only has one mood and that's CHEERFUL.
Oh heavens. Sorry about that. Half awake. nm
Heavens, no. They are free to leave at any time.

Heavens to Betsy, learn voice recognition

Yes, it did occur to me and that's why I WAS polite...(sm)
unlike the poster who followed me! I too had to learn how to search the archives and that's why I explained how to do it. But, since we get the same question several times a week it is certainly not rude to post exactly how to search. I've never seen it explained here and thought that someone should take the time to do so.
On the other hand there have been so many questions on Focus - on a weekly basis, and sometimes two or three times a week, asking other users to search is not rude.
Did it ever occur to you this was intentional???
DUH!!! You Brainiac!!!!
Did it ever occur to anyone that this gal is EXCITED about her
.
Did it ever occur to you to call **** or someone who can actually help you? sm
Makes no sense to me to come to this board and continually B&M -- be proactive. Talk to the office, if they cannot or will not help you, find another job. You are wasting your time here, and making yourself look bad in the process. It seems that you just want to whine and bash a company rather than doing something to actually make your situation better.
Did it ever occur to you that MAYBE THEY DIDN'T KNOW???? SM
That possibly they were lied to by the account?? Why would they pay to train you and upgrade all the equipment if they knew in advance that the facility would move completely to editing their own work.
As for not being told, where were you people when the multiple conversations took place? On Mars?
Good heavens, outsourcing Radio services see link
I have heard of NightHawks - reading radiology reports at night etc., now even the radiologist are at risk for job loss and lower wages just like the MT. Can be read as far away as India and sent back. Interesting article see link
Along with some other things to occur recently.
Lots of communication regarding 401K roll-out with discretionary match, but no word on other items we would like to hear about that is important to MT's.
Did it ever occur to you to skip over those posts? Duh.
Well, Cleopatra queen of denial - ever occur to you that if someone
this industry has gone down the toilet and there are so few companies worth even working for these days? You're amazingly misguided, but whatever gets you through.
Yikes!!! Excuse me. All I did was ask who the company might be. Did it occur to you that there are
some companies we might choose NOT to apply with, or have applied already with and turned down an offer, or just not interested in a particular company. Who said you were covering anything up??? I prefer to apply with companies that I WANT to apply with, not with a mystery employer. I'm giving out personal information and have a right to know who it is going to. Someone is very defensive. What did I ever do to you!!!!
8 hrs & 1100 lpd have to occur for FT benes. FT pay 8.5 cpl. People have had trouble with paychecks

LET IT GO FOR GOODNESS SAKE
nm
Looks like they pay more at MQ for goodness sake.
Pretty sad.
Oh for God's sake! I said it because it's TRUE.
As I said, I've been an MT for over 20 years. I worked as an MT in house for a hospital for over 10 years. I have a standing offer to go back and work for them at ANY time. The way it is now, I do overflow for them any time they need extra help. I also have had many of my own accounts other than this hospital over the years. Yes, HOSPITAL accounts. Why? Because I'm a good transcriptionist. I have had surgery center accounts, hospital ER accounts, overflow accounts doing ops, discharge summaries and ERs, and psychiatric hospital accounts. I have a couple of doctor offices, but I prefer acute care. When I got tired of the hassles of my own accounts, I applied with a small national that pays very well and only hires people with lots of experience. I have worked for them in some form or other, sometimes more and sometimes less, for about 13 years. When I have heard of something interesting, a job I might be interested in and that I think will pay will, I have applied. Other than the small national, I have worked for JLG. I have applied at various transcription companies over the years and was offered jobs by ALL of them, and have been offered good line rates by all of them, but in the end decided to stay with my own accounts and the small national I mentioned above that I have been with for 13 years. Having been an MTSO myself, I know GOOD TRANSCRIPTIONISTS ARE HARD TO COME BY. I have severely limited the amount of work I COULD have because of an inability to find QUALIFIED MTs. I have been absolutely HORRIFIED over the years at what I have seen produced by experienced transcriptionists.
So when I do apply for a job, the MT companies RECOGNIZE that I am a good MT. Everything I have said is true. I didn't say they fall all over themselves to hire me for the heck of it - THEY DO! And if you had my experience, they would if you applied too. You obviously DON'T or you wouldn't be ridiculing what I am saying. Anyone who is a truly good MT knows that what I say is true. If you are good, you are highly in demand.
Oh for Pete's sake. If you are a TH MT, you know
they do not offshore. Some of their accts are on the border which is why the email is that way. TH does not offshore in any way. One of the few left that does not.
then for cripe's sake please
volunteer to be reassigned to that account so the posts that distress y'all so much will cease. Check back with us in a week or two, okay?
Oh, for Pete's sake

Oh for pity's sake
There are tons of companies out there not on the board at all - I know because I work for two of them and never see anything negative at all about them. Did it occur to you the one's you see here over and over probably deserve much of the criticism?
For goodness sake!
This is whining now, ridiculous.
Oh for Pete's sake
It wasn't a dig. Simply a statement because I didn't take her email the way others implied it should have been taken. There were multiple posts by people earlier about MDI going the way of MQ and making all kinds of other statements to damage the company. I was at MQ when that ship started to sink and have seen nothing remotely close to that here. And as far as having compassion for someone with no work, apparently you didn't read all of my post or you would have read that I do understand what they are going through. I went through the same thing, not for a few weeks like the OP, but for 3 months at MQ and it probably would have been longer had I not decided to finally bail out of that mess. So before you decide to judge me or pretend to know what I think or feel, try reading all of my posts. Actually, don't. I'm sure you will just find some other reason to rag on me because I'm not having a horrible time with my company at the moment. To sum up all of my posts: To the OP down below, I'm sorry for your situation, but no, I'm not experiencing the same thing. To the other posters talking about management as if they are in it, unless you actually are in management and can say something factual, shut up. Regarding the message from Carlotta, all I got from that was take your issues up with management instead of hashing them out on a public forum. And to the snot I'm replying to......WHATEVAH!
oh for Pete's sake!!
they did use Transcriptionist in the body of the ad. Why all the assumptions here anyway. Do they pay on time? Are there any real problems here?
Oh, Fer Pete's Sake!
She quit her job because she was upset about the use of the word NEED??? For all we know, the person who phrased it in a less than acceptable way was not accustomed to handling bereavement requests - I'd have cut him/her a little slack. I'd have taken that opportunity to *educate* the HR person how to handle future requests with a little more tact, not bit his/her head off and complained all the way to the top of the food chain.
And how is the HR person supposed to know what kind of relationship the OP had with her father? or how emotionally upset the OP was or wasn't?
Bottom line, the OP is out of a job and the rest of the company is going on just fine without her. I think that's called shooting oneself in the foot... all for one little word: NEED. sheesh.
Well for goodness sake
spill the name of your company, maybe I'll come out of retirement. LOL
I hope for your sake it is. At MQ, however, when we
were told the new pay rate would allow us to drastically increase our pay, it ended up cutting our pay in half... It sure sounded good though...
I will cross my fingers for you that it will all work out!
Oh, for Lord's sake, fastMT...What's up...
with the racist bashing today? Is it really necessary? My concern is not WHAT anyone puts on their heads, whether it's a bindi or earmuffs, but that Americans' medical records are being sent offshore, to ANY shore.
Explain for goodness sake!
These clip answers do not really help anyone. Why not discuss your reasons why? I would like to get a better picture of why your thoughts are such; otherwise, it leaves everyone going

What company? I did not know that any of them offer 401K anymore.
You can be fired for any reason or no reason at all.
No one HAS to employ you. No one MUST keep you in employment.
As an IC, your unemployment isn't coming from the account of your contracts! It comes from YOUR tax payments!
