you are right, a terrible, terrible thing it is.sm
but I won't complain too much after having made over 50,000 last year.
That's a terrible thing for her to do!
Some people.....
Isn't it terrible? Yet the sad thing is when MTs
then MTSOs get used to it and treat us all like that. I know there is a famous company on here who is supposed to be great to work for, but they have a huge problem with getting you up and running - like weeks and weeks sometimes without any work, getting passwords, or tech issues or whatever excuse. I would never in a million years put up with that - if I have a start date, that's the start date right down to the hour. There is absolutely no excuses from either side for even an hour delay. Yet supposedly these MTs sit there like sheep and wait for weeks? Or months? Knowing their emails are being read? I thought it was a troll post, but was sadder to see it must be a true poster. So sad.
Inquiring minds are a terrible thing to waste so here
For inquiring minds, I do not think any of the following information is confidential, since it is on the court website for anyone to look at, but I found it fascinating and think some of you may also.
The Transtech case has been transferred to Federal Court, US District Court in Texas, because of two or more different states being involved (TT is in Texas, Defendant is in another state, and the five Jane Does can be anywhere in the world).
This information can be publically obtained on the Federal Court Website – PACER.
While I was there, I checked out some of the other Libel/Slander cases that had Closed or Settled to see what the timeline was and how they were settled. They ranged anywhere from 3 to 6 months, from date of filing with the Federal Court to date of closure.
I found it curious that on most other filings where the Defendant was not known, they used JOHN Doe, but TT used JANE Doe, assuming that everyone who posted on the MTStars was a female. Or maybe, all TT hires are females?
There were two other cases that really interested me.
One was for a Travelscream Technologies who filed suit against John Doe, Defendant. It was filed on 10-15-2008 and closed on 01-20-2009. They were asking $100 million against John Doe because of comments posted on two website. Apparently John Doe posted: (1) Tranvelscream is just the latest scam by a group of con artists… (3) Beware of Traveloscream.
The Plaintiff had to DISMISS the case because THEY COULD NOT FIND OUT WHO JOHN DOE WAS!!!!!
But left it open to refile if they could ever identify the person.
The other was for a Beauty Signature Group who filed suit against another company. The complaint was not on file so I could not read what the allegations where. The suit was filed on 04-16-2008 and was Settled on 08-12-2008. Again, the Settlement papers were not filed, so I do not know what the outcome was, but some of the other cases only wanted retractions and no more posting of remarks by the Defendants, so there may not have been any actual money involved, except for court costs, etc.
So, this could all be over by Christmas.
I have not posted anything wrong. It is common knowledge that Keystrokes does not send work offshor
Now I know why so many people do not like these boards. I did not write anything bad or over the top. I simply stated facts. I agree with the others and will now observe but not post. This is craziness here. If someone asks a question, I guess they would rather have answers from those that do not know the real answers. Call the company if you have questions from this point out. The phone number and web site are not secret.
Are lol'ing with me or at me?!
I know SPI is doing just fine without me - mostly because I still do work on the side for them and I keep in touch with a current employee. My point was why let a good employee fall through the cracks? And most of what is said about SPI on this site is, in general, very true.
i'm e/m'ing you.

QA'ing what you QA'd is not really
seen many QA people who fill in the blanks, change a few commas, etc. If you have fantastic MTs, there isn't much to change, so how is that reflecting YOUR skill and knowledge?
That would be Teresa and he got her into MT'ing
anon
My OSI AC said she was going back to MT'ing
.
QA'ing what has already been edited
/
Work Q'ing
Thanks to all for your input.
I think she was responding to Busy MT'ing not me!

Hun! How young are you. How long you been MT'ing.
I know it is possible, but I can promise you as the years keeping on passing you will slow down...16-17 hours a day for 6 days a week? What life?
Been MT'ing a long time.......
In the good old days companies were smaller and run by managers that were actually MTs and could relate to their employees. Now most have been replaced by managers with business degrees, little or no MT experience, and a corporate mentality. It is sad.
Groan. MT'ing has become such a cold racket. nm
nm
That's funny - me too. I don't hate MT'ing anymore (sm)
and those who know me well find this amazing!! I actually don't dread coming in here mornings to start work. 2 years for me.
Whenever you find a place to work in MT'ing that (sm)
 doesn't have slow times, let us all know.
You won't be hooray'ing abour speech for very long, because it will replace you
when the speech machine has learned all the doctors well and can interpret for them ! Just you wait and see. Your job will be gone . . . bye, bye job.
See if you'll be producing more after 30 years of MT'ing and at 50+ years old.
I don't think so. My income increased every year also, until I reached age 50 and 30 years of MT'g, been downhill ever since.
DSG IS TERRIBLE!!!
That is terrible.
No one should get 2 cpl.
Wow! That is terrible
That's a LOT of money. Too bad. Maybe you can sell the company and at least get some money.
That's terrible
That's terrible. I agree that's what it is but did they come out and admit they were sending the jobs to India?
Did they say people were layed off on the spot or did they give people a few weeks/days until their last day?
Was a severence package offered? Something.
How could they do this just before the holidays.
Terrible!
Glad I didn't get hired! I did a testcall and they never got back to me. I did have to pay the bill for the hour conference call that ended up being a Canada number...that should have tipped me off.
That is terrible! Do you want to be
treated that way or worse on a job? Sounds like a stressful situation you might be getting into. It is admirable you would give 2w/notice, and any company not expecting you to do that is suspect to begin with.. there are other jobs out there, you just might want to keep looking...not telling you what to do but rather than let them ruin my day, and later my life, I personally look for a place who treat people with respect during and after the hiring process. Good Luck to you!
Terrible sm
The platform was terrible. Too many specifics on the demographics.
They lost an account and waited until the last minute to tell us. When we kept running out of work, they kept giving excuses like, it's election day, it's martin luther king day, etc.
There are plenty good, honest companies. I would suggest looking elsewhere.
That is terrible.
I hope that doesn't scare you out of trying again; if not with this company another. You probably should call that recruiter and tell someone what happened. They need to know how what that manager is doing to her employees. I doubt that company will get very far with someone like, but I don't know. I would just let someone know what happened. I am sure she has done it to someone else, and will probably do it again.
terrible
I understand companies wanting to keep work in TAT, but why not be honest and just hire thousands of part-timers, because hiring MTs full-time and not having full-time work is dishonest to say the least. A lot of companies are over-hiring and doing just this kind of thing, not just Transcend.
The pay is terrible!
I was offered a position with them a few days ago, and they sent me their pay schedule.
No matter how much experience you have, you apparently start at 0.06/line. I did't even start for that right out of school, but okay. It seems you would have to work there over two years to even get near 8 cents/line.
I need work, but I have 11 years experience, and I can't afford to work for those kind of rates. :(
VR/SR is terrible! sm msg
I do not see VR/SR taking over, even in the next decade. The result from this software is redundant text that needs extensive editing, and I mean extensive! Maybe some day but it will still need editors to fix! Right now, from what I have seen, it is a mess!
Terrible. sm
I never...ever...do less than 16,000 lines a pay period, or an average of 200 lines an hour. Today, I averaged 111 lines an hour. I ended up taking PTO and am also taking it tomorrow, so maybe others' lines will go up tomorrow, at least.
I am on both DVI and Chartnet. I signed in this morning and neither had a single report for almost 90 minutes. After that, it was back and forth constantly with only 1 or 2 here and there. My primary just moved to Chartnet (which is a great program) but at the same time, it has dried up. I have no idea why but I'm not very happy right now, to say the least.
This is terrible
.... because they have US QA's edit them. Pathetic!
That is on the terrible VA accounts that cannot be
AND acute care, because they are unable to bring on acute care MTs.
I feel so terrible about this, but
I tested for several companies and had several offers. I accepted a position with a company and I am supposed to start soon. During the process of filling out paperwork and preparing to start with this company, I got a MUCH better offer with another company that I simply cannot and do not want to turn down. Has anyone been in this position? Why do I feel so terribly guilty? The first company is not a national and not very big, so I really feel like I am letting them down.
K
Terrible offer. Don't take it.
nm
I understand now. That's terrible. I definitely do not want to
xxxxx
terrible towel
The terrible towel has now been waved at the Space Needle.
Terrible Company
Do not work for this company. It's horrible. I just resigned.
Terrible Company
I worked for Focus as QA for almost a year. First of all...they started me out hourly and then decided to pay all the US editors by the line. It took me FOREVER to get my first pay check. Work flow was very inconsistent - some days there was absolutely no work. I would stay far, far away from this company!
I had a terrible experience with them as well.
They were very unprofessional, IM'd me to death. They did not give me the work that was promised and said I needed to get an account caught-up for them before I would gain the work promised. Seek employment elsewhere. By the way, they sent me the most trifling C-phone that was all broken and had dog hair infested keys. I was afraid to use it for fear of getting a disease. JMO.
Terrible attitude
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why our profession is going down the skids. Bring suit? Pulleeeze.
This is the one that had the terrible test and
OMG - Some people have big you know whats! That's terrible. I tested (horrible dictator), and e-mailed this company twice and never got a response. Horrible company. Better keep your day job! 
That is terrible, to be lied to and out of a job
At OSi I took maternity leave and they constantly called me to work no matter what I told them.
They pay terrible for employee
It was around 6 cpl for employee. Their insurance was insanely priced as well. I, as well as MANY others, had payment issues which is why I quit.
That is terrible. It is a gamble.
I personally know two that had positive results and three that died. One of those that died turned my husband into a widower, and it was a long-term complication that I don't know is presented in informed consent. (I have since typed reports referring to the very complication she had.)
Being obese isn't easy, but weight loss is definitely doable the old-fashioned way.
What is great to one, is TERRIBLE to another.

Testing is terrible
I have a lot of cardiology experience, over ten years, and I cannot pass the test. It has too much surgery on it. I'm tired of testing on fill in the blank tests, true/false, etc. Hey, I'm not going to school here. Give me a sound file and let me test; just don't give me a current sound file. Some of these companies are testing on current sound which makes me think they're getting their work done for free by potential workers and never paid workers.
cts is terrible another esciption sub
if and when you ever get paid, cash it and get out. This is the worst company to work for, almost as bad as Proveros.
It is TERRIBLE and NOT MT Friendly...sm
You will NOt make any lines on that thing.
Terrible experience (sm)
I went to TRSI and have nothing to show for it. They claim to hire their grads which is on their web site now but they don't, and their company was sold to someone else so how can they hire anyone. Their idea of helping you find a job is handing you a paper of companies who don't want to you to contact them! They don't help you in the course--no responses to emails, constant staff changes. I went to Medline School after this mess and am doing very well, learning a lot more, and their school is affiliated with a company that hires their grads, so I would say to research your schools carefully and make sure they can offer you help when you graduate.
