Oh my goodness! I have to admit that I

honestly am flabbergasted at all the praises TT gets. Its actually so wonderful, yet I admit that I have had my doubts in the past as well, as it is just so completely unheard of in our industry anymore to have a company that is great to work for. I admit, I'm jealous. Though hopefully I can turn my jealousy into a positive and actually push myself to apply for a position with TT. I have thought this over the last few weeks, and then talk myself out of it because I figure its too late - all the positions must be filled. See what spending a lifetime working for a cold huge national can do to one's self-esteem? I need to make changes in 2007, and applying at TT is on the very top of the list! I think I would burst into a river of tears if I even got a card, let alone a gift - anything. I have devoted nearly 20 years to one company, and expect nothing, absolutely nothing. Its sad, isn't it?

ok, admit it though . . .
You used to have nice normal-sized fingers and now they're worn down to little stubs, aren't they? I made $58 1 year, but it was a great account and I rarely took a day off. Just didn't find it worth it, but 20 yrs. ago would have been able to pull it off with no problem. Congrats to you, though!
I must admit.....
That's cute!!
Here we go again! You have to admit,
nm
Oh c'mon! Admit it.........sm
it's the nasty, "go for the jugular" posts that keep these boards entertaining. If we all posted polite little messages, I'd be bored to death.
The MQ'ers just don't like to admit that (sm)
they are working for a company who abuses them, and they stay there and put up with it, kind of like an abused wife. I for one believe you, cause my company is also hiring a lot of MQ'ers. There really ARE companies who values good MT's. It's really sad they can't believe this, but I guess it makes them feel better for putting up with the abuse. Who knows. Congrats on your new job. BTW, I have never worked for MQ - came close, but didn't. Thank the Lord.
Hate to admit this
I applied for it. But you have to have Docshuttle, which is I think around $100, and from what I hear it wouldn't be worth it even if were only $10. I'm desperate enough that I'd have taken it and hoped for a good raise after the 6 cents. Oh, well...guess I better get back to filling out my Hy-Vee application.
You are 1 of those who will never admit being wrong,
even if it is proved to them that they are wrong. Not only refusing to admit that they were wrong, even starting foul language against the 1 who is right.
And they behave the same when it comes to their private life, to interhuman relationships, friends, family etc, not being able to admit their mistakes and aplogize, not being able to say, 'I am sorry,' our of their stubbornness.
YOU should NOT be an MT.
I'll admit . This is the only thing I don't - sm
like about MDI. The staff is wonderful, I love the flexibility and my accounts are great, but I don't like paying for LD and having to use a C-phone. Supposedly, all of their accounts are to go wave eventually, but who knows when?
I'm sure they will admit it and state that 100% of their Indian MTs
zzzzz
I'm 1st to admit I am no expert but I have worked
you have obviously formed an opinion of me without REALLY knowing me. C'e LA vie.
Make everyone admit offshore is a fact. sm
Maybe, if we MTs and MTSOs put it so out there that this is happening, even if the facilities/doctors would prefer to turn their backs and ignore it, they will have to admit it goes on and either contiue using offshore, or pay higher for US MTs. This seems to be the elephant in the room and we need to annouce to everyone there is a pacyderm in the doctor's office.
so, you admit to starting a thread to antagonize?
nm
Transcend does. If you look, they advertise on the Jobs board but they admit that
they send work overseas.
Yeah, have to admit..my "dream fairy" is pretty much snuffed out. I bet there are not many dre
left out there. We are now skeptical and bitter. Time to retire and travel LOL
I have to admit my line count has improved since reading the board
I see how everyone else is doing, and then I can set goals for me, though I am too shy to be on the goal board yet. I have to thank the board for that. It teaches me what is possible, and also that we can only do our best. I have to agree totally about how it has been a godsend.
My goodness, how much help did you need SM
where you would have to keep evidence, as you say? Are you someone who needs your hand held throughout the shift? If so, better work in-house because the at-home deal isn't for you.
You have to work INDEPENDENTLY. That is what a lot of people don't seem to understand. If you really have no ability to go through the material you have received and figure it out using common sense, I don't know what to tell you.
Well, thank goodness for that because
you wont be able to meet production on their platform and lack of work!!
Oh my goodness, I too would like to know what co that is.
email me if you want to share :)
Oh my goodness!!! Thank you so much!
Oh my goodness....
I am absolutely AMAZED at those figures.
I know by the time I started things were already way down from where they used to be, because I know it was fairly common to start at 14+ cpl. Since I've started, my pay has decreased an amazing amount...which is really, really sucky.
I keep hoping it will get better. Funny thing is, when I think I should get out of this business and wonder what I should do...I always think....hmmm, what could I do to make 100K/year. So, you've just completely blown me away that you actually DID make that AS AN MT!! Kudos to you:-)
thank goodness
your work on everything
My goodness
That was uncalled for. Who are you angry at? MTs who are successful or yourself for not being motivated enough to work at home? There are lots of people who need the structure of in-house or need a supervisor breathing down their neck to make them work. MTing is not cut out for everyone.
BTW, a good MT does not have to be glued to their work 24/7 and therefore has time to surf the net or do anything we please!
My goodness!
It just amazes me how negative this board can be. I am a partner with Superior, yes. I have my OWN clients as well (have for years & years). I do not work with Focus. There are many people who do not wish to work with these larger companies directly. I do the best I can to supply work to this industries. Those of you that do not like it, I'm sorry! I cannot please everyone, but those of you that do work with me know that I'm fair, honest, and will do whatever I can for my team. I have not always done this. I have been with Superior since the end of 2008. So, maybe you should get your information straight before you post things like this. It really saddens me to see such horrible attitudes on this board when all I'm trying to do is provide work to this industry. I do not see what is so wrong with that. If you think the pay rate is too low, then do not look at my job ads. 
Oh, goodness...
Here we go again with the TTD drama. Everyone here is adult enough to know what they are willing to take and what they aren't. Why continue trying to babysit people? 
Oh, my goodness.....
NM
Thank goodness!!!
I thought that I was the one that was going crazy and trust me, these days that is a great possibility!  
thank goodness...
that people are finally starting to see the light about this company. when the editors took the hit, a lot of the MTs didn't seem to believe what they were saying. We knew it was just a matter of time before the truth came to light.
one of the things that really amazed me about those folks is that they seemed to believe that we didn't talk amongst ourselves, so their dirty deeds could be kept a secret until they were screwing everyone.
surprise. word's out.
Thank goodness
Plenty of work, new accounts and new work types on the old accounts. So glad I didn't quit when work was low. My family helped me out because I told them I had faith in TT.
LET IT GO FOR GOODNESS SAKE
nm
Looks like they pay more at MQ for goodness sake.
Pretty sad.
Thank goodness for these forums!
You're right, they are not the only ones; but my experience was opposite. More work that a person should be expected to do in one day, worked 14 to 16 hours. Did not have a choice, had to clear out my que each and every day. And THEN came the battle of the paycheck! They, Panhandle, still owe me my last one from over a year ago!
Again, thanks so much for all of the posts on these forums. I always check here first (don't post much tho) to research a company. I did submit my resume to Sten-Tel, but thanks to your posts, I'll never apply or accept a position with them.
Oh my goodness! Did this really happen?? nm
x
Thank goodness - I was beginning
to believe this was a company from hell - according to the other posts.
Oh, goodness. We WANT MTSOs and others to
This way open dialogue continues.
If we shut this place up to ONLY having MTs here ... we'll never get any information in/out!
You don't have to like anyone else's posts.
Thank goodness! Someone agrees with me!
Hooray!!!!!! Someone agrees. IC's do not work set schedules. Hello????? IC's set their own hours to work. I have been saying this all along. Companies can get into trouble. They could actually be held responsible for withholding prior taxes for as many years as they have been making you work set hours. 
Thank goodness someone other than me caught that!
nm
For goodness sake!
This is whining now, ridiculous.
Goodness, I hope not
Once upon a time, I got a 97 point something or other on a quality review. I was devestated and terribly hard on myself. I have never had a score like that since, thank the Lord.
I seriously do not think they would let you go because of one review under 98%. I do believe this company to be very professional and really do think they would first talk to you about maybe slowing down, giving you tips on better quality rather than just saying well you messed up once, you're outta here.
Please let us know how you make out. :)
Thank goodness, but it's not your fault..
my company has been extremely low too for much longer than the usual seasonal times that occur, keep getting the same just wait, work will pick up emails. Good luck!
Goodness is you work there why not just ask them?
Thank goodness you're NOT
a business owner. On the one hand, you say you wouldn't give employees free money for doing nothing, and then you advise to build up PTO, which is the same thing. LOL!
And FYI, most other careers do have holidays off and plenty of PTO, it's not just a wonderful fairyland daydream.
My goodness, see how others feel about this
I do the majority of work on Escription and love it. I do not know why you only make 7.00/hr some days but that is just plain insane. I can make almost 3x that much per hour using version 8- you must not be using your time wisely.
Oh my goodness $1.00 a page sm
that is terrible. I made $1.00 a page starting for Transcriptions Limited in 1983!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My Goodness! You'd think it was Friday--sm
today what with every body biting each other's heads off and getting all *snarky* over things that don't really matter. Get a grip you all, have a cold one, and mellow out! geez. some of Y'all are just LOOKIN' for an argument and if you can't get one going, you'll start one! sick *o this stuff. I think most of the people in this thread need a good long ol* fashioned *time out* in the corner!
thank goodness I don't have a life...
...so I can do that. If I was active and involved in things, I'd be stuck working my schedule only -- and probably not meeting my minimum requirements. That's pretty sad.
Oh, for goodness sakes! sm
I was not criticizing you for making an omelet. The original poster was complaining about having no work. If I was sitting around with no work, I would find another job, that's what I said. I was in that situation with my former company, found another job. It does no good to complain here about no work, might as well spend the time looking for another job or making omelets if that is what you choose to do. I know we are allowed to take time to eat, but we do not get paid for that time. That's why I end up eating at my desk :)
Well for goodness sake
spill the name of your company, maybe I'll come out of retirement. LOL
My goodness how unfeeling can sm
you be? Im sure she isn't being dramatic. Maybe there is no work for her to transcribe or it isnt her shift or whatever. How can you be so judgemental. Anybody can be in that situation. Just because you haven't been there doesn't mean you wont ever be.
Food stamps are not that easy to get. This person may be going through a bad month where the cash just isn't there but it doesn't mean she can get food stamps. If you have a house or a car etc you can't get food stamps or any type of help. Hate to tell you this but the government help doesn't go to the folks who need it necessarily. If you have worked all you life and have a house and a car and just the necessities and come upon bad times for a bit, you cannot get any help from the government. I know that I have been there in the past becasue of sickness.
Now if you are lazy, don't work, have 14 kids by different fathers you can get all the help you need.
I feel sorry for you because folks with your attitude usually find out the very hard way about these kinds of things. It happens every time!

hateful witch! I cannot believe how cruel people can be. You don't know this person's situation. People like you scare the heck out of me. Self-centered, hateful and unfeeling, kick em while they are down type.
I bet you would walk around someone dying in the middle of the road just to prove a point wouldn't you?
Thank goodness you are all starting to listen!!!
None of what was posted on the board was to stir the pot but rather save a bunch of wonderful MTs that are being messed with. It is so true and I would look for another position ASAP.
