I don't work for this company, never have. Yet it seems that people are always saying things that are not true about this company and causing a HUGE stink on this board. I can imagine that this has to be painful for the owner, as I have seen her posts in the past. Please don't do this.

I am QUALIFIED to make my statements because....
I worked with these people for years and saw how they treat others. It means absolutely nothing to people in the managment of SPI to fire people or lay them off or just take your work and send it to India or Manila. Don't think for one second that your job is safe. They are all about numbers...Its a numbers game...meaning revenues.
The Philippine Telecommunication company did not get to be a company worth over $100 billion US dollars by paying labor to US employees. They know that by taking US jobs and sending them to India or Manila will increase their profit margins 25-35% minimally. Don't think for one second they will not do this.
The Indian companies are much better than they were. The Manila location has finally gotten it right. They will be able to transition your jobs smoothly without compromising quality or TAT. THAT'S FRIGHTENING TO SAY BUT TRUE!
They have also geared themselves with the strongest voice recognition product on the market.
So, let's take a look at the overall picture:
1. People resources available offshore. YES...thousands.
2. Ability to transition and carry out smoothly.....YES
3. Voice recognition geared to take over.....YES
4. Qualified editors in Manila........YES
5. Production MTs in India......YES
6. Large hospital organizations not afraid to offshore......YES
I dont know guys....what else does it take to paint the picture for you. You are all smart people....figure it out!
If illegal to make false statements, everyone would

statements
If you don't work for them and never have, how do you know these statements are untrue?
Odd statements.
If you already were past the application stage then hopefully you already had an idea about what working at DRC would be like.
All of the posts yesterday confirmed that Acusis had bought DRC, so that comment about validating it made no sense to me.
Finally, maybe it's just me, but I've always considered accepting a job based on my interaction with the recruiter and/or employer and not the unknown/unnamed MTs of said company that I have absolutely no knowledge or interaction with. (Unless DRC's recruiter is now offering up current employee reference calls for your pleasure.)
Good luck at your second choice. I am staying with DRC/Acusis and I frankly could care less which MTs decide not to.
These conflicting statements may be due to their
hiring seasoned MTs. The person interested would need to ask them directly.
False statements
Amen to that.
Besides stating that your DD is not there, when it is NOT there is not exactly a false statemtn. TT112 needs to get a life
I agree 100% with your statements! nm

Why are you making statements on a company YOU don't know about?
That's how hearsay and rumor gets fed.
If you don't know then guess what -- YOU DON'T KNOW!
No, you are not chained to your desk. If I am going to be gone 20 min or more, I need to clock out. No one has ever checked up on me or questioned my time. Ever.
Proof of statements made
Can this be backed up by some proof? There are a lot of good companies out there and great MTs. It would be a shame if you prevented them from an awesome partnership from these statements that may or may not be true.
May I ask why you were not happy? Vague statements don't help very much. sm

Slander is when there are false statements. .

I wanted to speak to some of your statements
When you say people keep things to themselves, there is basically nothing to keep. We were told when we first started to use the mouse (believe it or not but prior to VR I had never used a mouse!). I got used to that and then when outsourced was told to use the so called hot keys. I am now 66, taught myself to type around age 11 or 12 and I did not want to retrain to use keys when I thought possibly could just slow me down so I do not use the hot keys. My company said people could get more lines using them. I cannot get any more lines than the audio will let me go and I have that to fast forward most of the time so the hot keys are of no use as far as I am concerned. There is absolutely nothing more that I do. I read fast, correct mistakes, spell check and never read back over a report. If you call that any tips or tricks, well then there they are but basically the same I have done for straight typing all these many years. Oh, as far as the preferential treatment, oh, lordy I wish I could get that, especially on Saturdays when it seems like all the ESLs in the world are dictating on my end. We are not allowed to cherry pick nor X out work that we might not like to do. Ours is first in, first out.
Very nice post - all true statements! - nm

So far as I know making false statements is illegal
See possible answer post..............now I'm going to work so I will have a paycheck to be deposited.
It's called a troll. Statements without backup. sm
There is a lot of work out there with Keystrokes and others. MQ is losing accounts, and the other MTSOs are getting them. I am sure that they want to see quality and limit volume the first few days. I would if it were my company.
I doubt you will make enough money in 5 hours a week to make
nm
I make 4 cents a line, work part and make
over $500 a week on part.
Great post! I make 0.085 at Keystrokes and make more than at any sm
other company in the last 5 years. Why? Because there is always work for me. I love starting work each day, knowing that the company I work for appreciates me and has plenty of work. Transtech and Keystrokes sound very similar; those of us that work for either can count our blessings that we are not part of the cesspool or huge corporate mess that makes up the biggest few companies. We do not have to worry about our jobs getting sent overseas and we see a future in this business!!!
Yeah, but we don't make what docs make. nm
nm
But we don't even make what in-house make.
It would be different if we made the same as the in-house MTs. In a lot of cases, most of the people working in-house make much more including benefits than we do at home as full-time employees. That's where I think the unfairness comes in. The in-house employees don't all work every single weekend. Most of them rotate at a much higher salary and much better benefits. The MTs at home are expected to fill in for the in-house for less money, less benefits and give more and more back in the form of weekends and holidays. Most remote MTs only receive benefits contingent on production, and even then they're not nearly as good as in-house benefits. How is that equal in the healthcare team perspective?
you might want to make sure you don't make yourself look like an IDOT before you go any further.

I make $1.10 per report and make much more sm
than by the line. Day by day it varies and goes back and forth, but over a long period, it is better by the report. Make sure they pay links though; this is key.
Do Shapin MTs really only make 6 cpl and QAs make 1.5 cpl?
/
Why can't you make money with all OPs? I do all OPs and make
good money. I'm not with WebMedX though.
I'm happy with what I make. I still make more than if I went anywhere else and hardly noone in th
biz gives raises so I feel blessed that I make a lot more than most, raise or no raise.
And always make sure you don't make line
counts that amount to anything. They always place you with impossible ESLs as soon as you start making decent money.
I make more than that with Spheris but never have work. I would rather make $1.25 and have work. s
My SIL works for KS, and she gets paid double for linked reports too. Where do you get $2.25? I am ready to leave Spheris.
Make sure you have some (sm)
money saved up so when they don't bother to send your paycheck or give you excuses, run out of work constantly or take a long time setting you up, you won't go bankrupt.
Okay, those using DQS, how do you do it? How do you make (sm)
your line count? How do you everything??? Is Instant Text V Pro anything like Smartype where you key in a few letters and the list comes up? I'm so stressed from trying to learn this program. Any, and I mean any, positive pointers you can share would so oh so appreciated!!! Please help!
Did you make more as an MT or are you
nm
make, not may nt
Well you would still make more if
you typed 15,000 instead of 11,000.
I make even less than that for IC . Nm : (
x
PS - I make top $$
well over 0.10/line on one a/c. Nobody does 20-25 reports/hr on this 100+ MD a/c.
Why not? Do you think they are just trying to make themselves look better on the
to all the outsourcing talk? It's okay now since they got a bonus?
None of what they make you go SM
through is really worth the job you end up with. It's a very average place, with average work, average pay. You can do the same elsewhere without the hassle.
How much do you make (FT or PT)? (sm)
and how are you paid?
see and I say take the IC, just make sure
you have a professional prepare your taxes and find a CPA who is up on at home business laws. I have been an IC for nine years. I get to write off a portion of my mortgage payment, utilities, etc. It works for me.
Me too. I make over $20 but you have to
get in with the right company. Do not let companies undermine QA by accepting positions that lessen our very purpose!
I will not say my company name because needless to say they do not get openings very often and yes they pay hourly.
I make 9.5 cpl as an IC with 27 Y sm
experience. I just started with them.
How is it you don't know what you make?
:+
I know what I make...
I'm just not posting it here.
I make more than that as an MT and am not available 24/7!
nm
MAKE myself
available to the applicants. The companies I have recruited for have told me not to do this, but sometimes you have to. I live on the East Coast and many are from the West Coast. I tell them if they have any questions to call me and I have had people call me as late as midnight with questions. Maybe that is pushing it, but to be honest, the recruiter is the image of the company. If you treat all applicants with respect and with what they say is worth listening to, tell them no question is silly, etc. I also am an MT and a QA person as well as a manager. I know how I want to be treated and I give it back to the applicants.
The job is a good job but it takes a lot of time. You really have to love the job to do it.
I make over $52,000
I love it also. This is with all benefits paid. I have many years in the industry as MT and QA. I definitely do not want to go backwards.
I make more $ doing OPs. nm

Right there with ya...I make 10-12 cpl
No way would i even consider 7
I'm with you -- there are a few that make me sm
want to pull out my hair by the root, but there are those types everywhere, not isolated to one company/account/whatever.
I averaged around 300 lines per hour at my previous company and average that here at TransTech, so I cannot blame them or anyone else when I have a low production day (that's usually because I allow too many distractions).
Sorry other people are having so many troubles. I was trained at a teaching hospital with hundreds of new residents from all over every year, so I guess I'm used to it. When I get any dictator, ESL or EFL, who speaks clearly and can form a sentence, I feel like writing him/her a love note. (ha)
I used to make that much, too
When my skills and experience were paired with my work, or when I had my own accounts on the side, I used to make really good money and I actually worked 6-8 hour days max. I miss those days. Work AND a life! It's getting more difficult or near impossible to find MT jobs like that anymore, though. Count your blessings, Betty.
I know, not much more....just trying to make myself
nm
I make 9.5 cpl
No bonuses, but I find that I don't need them because it is really easy to get an excellent line count there. The occasionally do offer gift cards for people who volunteer to help out a little extra.
