I asked a question about a company I worked for, received 5 responses all saying the same thing, that we were paid for a holiday, which was wrong. I counted on it and was in a bind because of it.
How can a message be confidential if it posted on a public message board? nm
Just stay off the board then
Hello?? People come here to complain. If you don't like it, then you might want to go out and pick some daisies or something.
How dare you come here and judge people who are having a hard time making ends meet. This may be the only people some of us have to talk to all day.
Just stay the he!! away if you have nothing to contribute. Okay? Get it?
do a search on this board - I remember this being talked about in depth in the
not so distant past. You have options.
Good luck, hope it turns your way and she is blackballed.
The thing to remember about this board is that there are more negative people than positive that pos
The reason is that a lot of MT's have had bad experiences EVERYWHERE they go, if you know what I mean. They then bash the most recent company over and over again.
The same few people seem to have worked everywhere and have something bad to say about every company.
Take everything with a grain of salt on here. It is a gossip board.
The only ones to believe the negativity about are those that do not pay or bounce their payroll checks.
The rest? Well, most are decent companies that might not be a good fit for everyone. There is not much difference between all the bigger ones except whether they send work offshore or not. Otherwise, rates are similar, benefits are similar, work load is similar.
Why is everyone on this board nasty? I applied and happen to be interested. If you are not, stay o

I think the public would want to be alerted
that their ss#'s and all other personal information is going to another country! With all the identity theft today, whose to know what is happening over there?

I ran across the above Federal Case Dockets while searching for something else entirely. Anyone know why Nuance Corp. is involved in so many and what they are about? One of the complaints is racketering. What is going on?

SPI opens BPO centre in Mangalore
Mysore, Feb.20-InSpinity (SPI), a wholly owned subsidiary of Software Paradigms International Group LLC, has signed a large contract with MedQuist, the largest provider of Medical Transcription services in the world.
As per the agreement, SPI will provide medical transcription services to Medquist up to two million lines per month within the next six months. To achieve this operationally, SPI will employ and train more than 600 new Medical Transcriptionists (MTs) at its delivery centers in Mysore and Mangalore. At present, SPI employs around 350 MTs.
Headquartered in Mount Laurel, New Jersey, MedQuist Inc transcribes more than two billion lines of text annually.
To augment its ambitious growth plans, Mysore’s IT major SPI is opening new Development/BPO centre in Mangalore by starting operations in incubation center provided by STPI. During first year’s operation, SPI plans to employ around 200 resources in the IT and ITeS field.
Sid Mookerji, CEO & MD of SPI, considers this to be a validation of the aggressive growth and productivity focused strategy adopted by InSpinity.
He said, MedQuist is a very important customer for us and we are pleased to have them on board. We expect to readily deal with MedQuist’s stringent quality and security requirements along with the planned rapid growth thanks to our well established processes and training mechanisms in the Medical Transcription area.”
V. Madhukar, Vice President – Operations, SPI, addressing a press conference at Pathrakarthara Bhavan in city yesterday, announced the terms of contract between the two companies and future plans about Mangalore expansion.
He said Clinching this large deal in these times of recession is a great morale booster not only for SPI but also for the entire IT industry. SPI is adding to its headcount and wants to increase employee base of our MT division from 350 to 1000 MTs in the next 18 months which in fact is a bigger challenge for us.
In future, SPI plans to provide Medical Transcription services to MedQuist to the tune of 6 million lines per month by 2011. To achieve this target, SPI plans to ramp up its capacity to 1000 medical transcriptionists for Med

They are a public company - they cannot lie about percentages...
If they say 20, it's 20. I have never been without work and I love it there. If you think that most companies out there are not offshoring, you are kidding yourself.
I believe them when they say it will never take the place of domestic MTs. They are growing faster than any company out there - read their financials, all public record.
One thing to inform the public - Another to
come across as stalker/unstable. As someone who BTDT with an MTSO failing to pay as agreed (but did in fact pay late), I can appreciate a fair warning about a company. I do disagree when the warning stops being fair and starts coming across as the poster having some personal issues that this board cannot cure.
In my situation, I read this board about an MTSO who failed to pay - posted by one person who seemed to be fair in the posting. I still took a position with the MTSO. There was incredible disorganization with the owner and my pay was late. I let them know that I could not invest more of my skills until the pay was rec'd. They got it to me and I returned their equipment. The warning had me prepared not to lose my shirt, but did not keep me from giving the MTSO a fair shot. I have seen that MTSO move into a more trustworthy category than when I had my experience with them and would even like to think I had something to do with that. However, I do not feel that would have happened if I had come across in a fanatical manner or if I had in fact done anything but acted in a way I could be proud of.
Just saying, I don't see that happening with this poster about this particular MTSO and this particular situation. Just saying, is all, that if an MT wants others to give fair consideration to an allegation, that MT has the responsibility of behaving in a way that would keep people listen and giving credence to the facts. People stop listening when the postings become unbalanced and start projecting that perception towards the original poster. Just saying, is all. Good luck with whatever the OP decides, but I hope that poster finds some balance in his/her life.
I can't afford to stay with VR. If they paid more, I'd stay.
The situation sucks. I really liked this company when I started there. I know they read these forums, and they are aware that we are unhappy over VR line rates. They stroke us with cute emails and say we're the best, but I can't feed my family on praise. They're turning into another MedQuist, and so I'll be leaving.
I agree public should know. I think drs. know but choose to ignore.

answer crafted by public relations?
It gives absolutely no information yet attempts to close the subject. I asked how is the work load, pay rate, etc.? Anyone else care to comment or is it a no-no to speak about this company.
you might want to leave your full name off the public forum

If it is a court case, then it is public knowledge

its not on their PUBLIC web site, it was an internal explaination for the email they sent around.

There's an old saying in life, justme- a wanna-be public defender...
it's better to be silent and be thought of as an idiot, than to speak and remove all doubt. Now, you removed all doubt....
If your facts are true, make them public. You've nothing to lose and everything to gain.
How can you be putting your head on the chopping block when you are anonymous here?
Details have not been given in your posts. Please show us ALL the details.
Why would you be putting your head on the block by pointing out supposed anomalies in the raise structure?
Any recruiter can give out that information because it's the same for everyone. Any MLS can go to the website and see it. I have it here in front of me. I would like to see you defend your statements, because I'm not seeing the proof here.
Why would you be putting your head on the block regarding incentives?
Any recruiter can give out that information, if it exists. That information also can be seen in the job boards and on the website, as it's public knowledge. I sure don't see any out there, nor have I for months.
Why would you be putting your head on the block regarding enticements?
You say they are readily viewed on job boards, but yet you can't give details. Any recruiter can give that information, too, as they post the ads on the boards. They can also be seen on the website. However, looking back over a lot of weeks of posts on various boards, I don't see one "enticement," so we're going to need YOU to point them out to us.
If the enticement is the pay structure, then you're benefitting the same as everyone else. If the enticement is the ads, well, you get the same opportunity for shift differentials, the same CMT pay, the same benefits, the same production incentives, don't you? What don't you get that you deserve?
Also in regard to enticements, I've got to ask for clarification on a statement you made:
"...look at past and future ads on MT Jobs, etc."
Do you have details on what the company is offering in the future? If so, let us all in on it so people who don't work at Transcend know what to wait for.
Finally, no one should need to email you, because all of YOUR information should be made public IF IT EXISTS, and you shouldn't fear making it public, IF IT'S TRUE. Having people email simply allows you to privately promote your version without having to publically defend the truth of of your claims.
If you can't back up your claims, then please concentrate on making the best out of your own situation, okay? It's not right to make statements that can't be supported with facts. It doesn't help the company and it doesn't help you. If you're a loyal employee you should be trying to be part of the solution rather than part of the problem. Maybe you could offer your assistance on the quality council.
Stay low and stay very, very quiet. Do not
ask questions, do not talk to the supervisors unless forced to. The answer will always be the same, that you are the only one who has an issue, everything else is perfect. Never mention anyone's name. This place has the mentality of the Borg, everyone has been assimilated, which means if your supervisor does not like you, or does not like your friend, you have no chance. You associate with so and so, so you are exactly like them. That quickly goes through the Borg network and every team lead, ROM, and person in management, including HR, is aware of it. You'll be labeled a trouble maker and your life will not be worth living. Any trial to clear your name will be done in the fashion of the trial of witches. You are in a dunking chair - if you drown you are innocent but it is too late by then.
Remember, a ROM never makes a mistake and never tells something that isn't true. They are perfect (and nastier than a pack of hiennas.)
If you run out of work, it is your fault. You are just lazy. Can't make enough to take care of your family? Too bad, you need to work harder.
And forget getting an answer from management. It doesn't
happen. So, as before, stay low and very quiet.
And do a good job? You can be assured that if you do a good job, do what you are supposed to do, and stay quiet, no one will even recognize your name. They have no idea where you work, what your schedule is, or that you even belong to Transcend.
MedQuisters, topics from the Company board are being moved to the MedQuist board. MQ posts on
the first page of the Company board will be removed to open up space for other companies to post. Enjoy the new Medquist board set up for you.
Thank you,
Administrator

Wow, really. I can't even remember the
I will be calling KS today then. Thank you for your honesty and getting back to me.
I remember that, too. Everyone was trying to get on with them.
I had two MT friends who worked there, then things started going south. They kept trying to get me to apply there.
i remember...
a posting from someone saying they are good to work with and are hiring. sorry dont remember much else. good luck
I don't remember,
Sorry.
That is exactly how I remember it.
They did pay me a good line rate, but with no headers/footers, and I had a hard time making 1000 lines a day. I think I was on the worst account they had, BMH, about 90% ESL (worst I ever had too). My QA would call and scream at me for doing cardio, not for a mistake, but because I was not assigned to it. The clerks used to beg me to type it. She was supposedly the worst one there.
I can't remember her last name.
Been about 10 years since I worked for her.
I remember something about that but
don't remember which companies. Can someone please tell me if Amphion, Cymed or Medware is one of these companies? I'm about to apply to all 3 of them.
just remember...
The US MT will always be in demand. Unfortunately, in some cases only in an editing capacity. Do you think that work being transcribed in India is able to be edited and returned in an acceptable manner to the US doctor dictating it? Absolutely not. The foreign physicians in our country depend on us to produce properly formatted reports, so how can a MT from India possibly come close to accomplishing this if it were not for the editing US MT. You really can't blame the US physician who contracts with a national co. and does not know his work is going to India. Why can't HIPAA reinforce a regulation stating that no US transcription should ever leave this country in any capacity? Certain countries have restrictions on importing and exporting products. Why does are country not step up to the plat? MTs have to form some kind of alliance to stop this...petitioning the government, etc. Striking is not the answer because until some enforcement is in place, our jobs will continue to go overseas and back here for editing.
I think I remember you.
I remember the post (if it was yours) on the company board and remember it didn't stay on the board very long. If I remember correctly, even though they removed your negative (truthful) post, the majority of the posts that remained were negative, complaining about things like the terrible platform and some being afraid they would have to apply for food stamps soon.
And if you're the person I'm thinking of, I believe you and I even emailed each other a couple times because I, too, had many concerns when you brought yours to the board.
You weren't wrong, and neither was I. The only mistake I made was I stayed there a little longer than you did. I should have left when you left.
I can't blame the newbies either because they simply don't know any better. It's part of the process with this company. They make sure things are great at the beginning, and then the downward process slowly begins.
Every single thing you have said is true. If people don't want to believe it, then they can waste a few years of their life at Transcend, too. I'm just grateful that I now work for a credible, honest company and couldn't be happier. Hopefully, this will remain the case, and I can stay with this company for many years. But after my experience at Transcend, my radar is definitely always on, and at the first hint of preferential treatment to someone else or lies being told to me, etc., I won't hesitate to leave this company as I hesitated to leave Transcend.
How to remember
An easy way to distringuish is to think of the first 3 letters of adduction. You are adding it to your body, therefore it is towards the body. The same would be true for adductors, so just think of addition to your body in any form and you should be good to go. Hope this helps.
As far as I remember...sm
you had to do up a schedule for every week of the days you would be working. You picked the days and number of minutes you would commit to. So, if you were working part-time and committed to 50 minutes a day, you could work those whenever you wanted to, (50 minutes x 5 days) as long as you made your commitment. I don't think you ever had to work any weekends.
As for being an IC, I have never had this kind of insurance. As far as I am concerned, if the doc signs it, he is saying he read it over and agrees. I don't think any IC MTs have ever been sued, but I don't know for sure. Maybe post this question on the main board. The companies save big bucks using ICs so there must be something in place for protection. I think most MTs are ICs.
When you are an IC, you set yourself up as your own business, sole proprietor. It is as simple as registering your name. I have an accountant do my income tax every year and it costs about $200. Hope this helps.
i cant remember the name.. c msg
but the email came from someone in Recruiting (female's name). The same person who informed me about passing the test and contacting me on the next recruitment was the same one who sent me the attachments ot download. Our situation is very different, but just by their pay scale, you can do better. I can deal with not being paid for headings (I guess), but I cannot deal with not being paid for spaces.
I think I remember something about them on...
MtChat.com. but I cant seem to access it this week. I cant really remember the deal but apparently they did something to their employees that made a ton of them quit so that is probably why they are hiring. You might want to keep checking back at that website and see if it comes up and then it will let you do a search on them.
anyone remember
 Does anyone remember ddi, inc. Those were the days when transcription was a great job.
