I agree they should spend
some time trying to correct the problem, but the main problem was the line count situation on the Vianetta platform. When I started with them, it was lovely. Work was flowing, no major problems. Then they changed platforms. That's when the problems came. Mgmt there kept telling us they were working on the problems with the line count, but nothing ever changed. Every payday same thing - we are working on it.. yada yada yada. So the moment you question the higher-ups about the line count they want to get ugly with you. Like we weren't supposed to ask about our line count. And you know, in the end, if they would have been just a little bit more understanding and more willing to explain to us what was really going on, things might have been different.
and I agree with you. I spend
so much time making sure sometimes I've done it as right as can be done that I, don't have the volume others might produce, but I believe I have the quality. If I was the boss, I'd sure eliminate the lazy ones.
Apparently nowhere - they spend all the time on here....sm
It sounds a few of them need psychiatry help.
Exactly! I spend more time waiting for
work than I do actually typing! Such a joke!
I do not want to spend my UNPAID time...
on the phone dealing with computer problems almost every day and then make less per hour while doing it.
I was thinking that maybe they would up the pay after a period of time and then it could be a decent place to work as far as editing compensation goes. Like I said before, I think MQ has the right idea. They are paying 80%, which would equal 6 cpl if Transcend went with 80% instead of the current 55%, which equals around 4 cpl. I wouldn't be on here fussing if that were the case. Hopefully, management will come to understand that the cut was just too much for a lot of us, especially the higher producers. And you are right, there are a lot of people making the same amount or more editing than they did typing, but these are the people who were slower to begin with. THAT IS A PROVEN FACT!! I believe they will love the new editing and compensation. I do, however, feel that it is not a fit for the higher producers, plain and simple. So what more do I want, I want to paid a fair wage for my experience and the work that I produce. That is what I want, and I don't think that is too much to ask. I am not trying to break the company, just make a decent living. I want the company to profit along with the employees. That is what I would want if it were a perfect world.
Server down more than it is up. You have to spend a ton of time with the
It sucks totally!
To spend more time with my kids
I knew that I could get a job doing this anywhere in the country and make an okay living doing it. It would also enable me to work around my life, not live around my work.
I truly think that if every doctor or dictator had to spend
was forced to listen to themselves for a period of time...say an hour or two, I would almost bet the farm that a lot of mumblemouths, yawners, eaters, and people who dictate in the bathroom while they are flushing would change their habits radically. Or sending their dictation EXACTLY the way they say it...um...uh...uh...ummmm........hmmmm.........dead air....You know the ones.
No one will ever convince me differently. LOL. IN a perfect world maybe. in the MT world??? Not!!!
I have 3 accts and spend 85% of my time on 1 of those; sm
I almost never run out of work. Good for you that you found some place else that is a better fit for you. However, some of us are happy and do well there.
That's so true. Sometimes I spend a lot of time (sm)
looking up old reports, more than I would like; but I want to put out a good report, not a piece of crap. I want to be proud of my work which I am.
If docs would spend 5 seconds...sm
spelling another doctor's name, which they believe we're automatically supposed to know how to spell, it would save a lot of grief. But MTSOs are quiescent about this, even though they know it's a hardship on us...what the heck, it's not THEIR time. Don't want to spell a doc's name... their 5 seconds is worth more than 10 minutes of my time looking it up. Tough!! Blanks are in. Let THEM fill it in.
They sure didn't spend $ on raises for us NM
xx
No. That's a company who won't spend the time it
takes for you to get these talkers down. The test then pretty much says nothing about your actual transcription skills.
In my opinion.
transcribing....you spend your time.
nm
Maybe you should spend your time working instead
of wasting time on stuff that doesn't matter. Don't you have anything better to do with your time? You actually wasted time thinking this clever little thing up? Go find another job and quit trying to be an MT advocate. This is getting really old. Yawn! Not every company has cut wages in half, so quit using the company board to get back at the your sad company. Yawn again!
If you go to the same store every day and spend a lot of money and your neighbor
and the storeowner gives your neighbor a $50 discount for being a new shopper, would you feel entitled to a discount because you gave the shopper so much of your business? Better yet, big insurance companies send a lot of business to doctors and hospitals and they get discounts on the medical bills that individual patients with no insurance can't get. Are the big insurance companies entitled to this because they give more business than the individual patients?
Why pay that for a field that is drying up? Spend money going to
kdkdkd
What does that have to do with MT? I don't care how the owners spend their money. sm
You obviously need professional help. My paycheck is always correct and on time and I am pleased with my pay. Even IF the owner is a big gambler and spends her money on slots (which I don't believe), WHO CARES?
You really should find something healthier to obsess about.
Wow, I spend my time typing and waiting...
I pay not one bit of attention to my queue. I had not noted this AT ALL, but thanks for the heads up. Why is TT so shooting themselves in the foot? I left a shady company to come to TT just for that reason, because they had a great reputation and did not pull stuff like this. I certainly hope they realize what they are doing and nip it in the bud NOW. If they can salvage their reputation at this point, they may be able to pull out being one of the 3 to 5 left standing with all the work when this shakes out. Otherwise, they will be laughed at like MQ.
If you spend a little time reading the archives you'll see
lots of posts about how many are unhappy at Focus and are looking or left.
Please name the company and save us the time we might spend applying. nm

The "lead" probably quit if she had to spend her time begging for workers...sm
Doubt she was demoted - leads are too hard to come by. She probably quit management so she could get lines herself, or quit completely because she got tired of having to constantly recruit for accounts that were understaffed.
And to top that off Laurie and I spend more time sending files, training, and doing other managerial
x
I'd have to agree with the testing of 6 voice files. Turned me off. Who has time to spend doing a
of those tests... I need a job not a day of testing.
In my limited jobseeking experience I'm finding I only get to learn line rate after I spend hours
.
yep, gotta spend money to make money. NM
.
Ya know, even if I spend time during my shift or after that shift
it is still MY time, expected by the company, and I am not getting paid for it regardless. I don't answer my phone while I am working, never did, never will. What other profession, while probably punching a clock, do folks work for free? If I worked in an office doing this, that time would be paid - say 15 minutes a day x 5 days a week at even $10/hour = $50 a month - and it is more time spent than that to deal with the email thing and the reminders and the changes in specifics and logging in and out of 3 different accounts when primary is out of work. GRRR.
I don't change jobs easily either, glad you are happy where you are - but producing 1400 lines of ACCURATE text will end my career soon (and probably yours also) and then what are we all to do? My goal is not to work more, work harder and longer hours to produce a salary I can live on.
Quick, the gene pool need a quick Clorox!

Could I please get a quick reply to quick hiring???....sm
I cannot find anything here or in archives about Integrity Transcription Service LLC; I was rapidly recruited and offered employment w/o testing, and wonder if there are any MTs here who work/have worked there? Could you please share here or at my e-mail? Soooo much appreciated, trying to weed things out! 
The MTs can't get out of there quick enough.
Keep looking!
Don't be too quick..
I know a lot of QA people that are not consistent including the ones that trained me. One person can say one thing in one month, and the same person will say something else the next month. It's not always the MT ya know
Very quick!
RUN - away - quick!
RUN AWAY
you are just too quick to....
point your finger, AND this is not gossip as I, along with others, went through the same thing. OP was just asking a simple question and your cocky answer was not called for. So I say it again, GROW UP!!
It's all about quick TAT sm
The TATs are tight so the accounts have to be staffed 24/7, and more people are working on the accounts keeping them caught up. The work is steady on my internet account, but it is always very current with very little backlog but the work is there. I've been at MDI for 4 years, cleared for all work types on my accounts, and have 5 accounts I can work on although only consistently work on 2. I have a friend who started recently. On her account, she was not cleared for all work types, and she does have trouble getting her lines. She doesn't want a backup account yet.
Quick, quick
I testing and applied with them and got a phone call from Bonnie Monaco within 2 hours of submitting everything.
Thanks for your quick response!
x
so dont be so quick to THINK you know
what happened. anyway, don't worry about what I will or will not do.
Thanks for the quick responses! s/m
I can't find anything else at all. Don't know if this would help me gain exp though for medical transcription.
Where is the work at home mom's board???
Thanks again :-)
Transcribe it Quick
I was wondering if anyone had heard back from Transcribe It Quick or has worked for them before. They posted on the job board on 05/09 for per diem transcriptionists. I received a phone call from a very nice woman who was the owner of the company. She told me she wanted to hire me, told me all the specifics, welcomed me to the company, etc. and she even had me register with the site and download their player. She was supposed to call me back that night, and I haven't heard word one back from her. It sounded like a great job opportunity with great pay. I called and left a message on her answering machine and I still haven't heard anything. I thought it was really strange, and I was wondering if anyone had received a phone call back from her and was offered a job.
Thanx for the quick reply!
TY
Do you want quick or accurate?
Why go to a board like this for a question to do with your company's benefits? Actually, you would probably get a pretty quick answer by e-mailing your HR rep, and it would have a much higher probability of being correct!
Quick Question - sm
 Which forum on MTStars is the best one to visit if you're interested in learning about obtaining private accounts - tried-and-true methods, platforms to choose, etc.? TIA!
quick to defend too
vv
Please, quick info regarding....sm
 Medical Transcription Services in Wisconsin -- sent me a letter regarding a new radiology account coming on board, would really love to take it (love rad), but I cannot find much about them AT ALL. Thanks in advance!
Why are people so quick...
to think that lack of work is the sign that a company is *bad*. There is such a thing as TAT. Anyone in this field knows that at times it is feast or famine. I have no problem making my lines during the pay period, even when volume is low; it's called being flexible with my schedule. I do what I have to do, still have my days off and still make decent paychecks.
thanks, another quick question-
do they supply computer/equipment?
I got a quick response, but
they only had 3rd shift available. I took a few days and then responded saying that I would be able to work the shift, then the recruiter told me she would contact me to discuss the position. That was 2 weeks ago, and I still have not heard anything. I'm also very experienced, with 99.5% QA or better. Very weird . .
Don't be so quick to doubt
I'm 5 years into my MT career. I'm 48 and currenly I work an average of 10 hours a day for a popular MTSO.
2 years in house - most I made was was 27K
Last year 6 months in house, 6 months at home - 24k
Next year - 34k
This year 55k! Do I count on that for next year? Nope, but I can hope.
Yes, my speed probably is increasing. Since this industry has a give yourself a raise mindset, that's what some of us do, when we can.
Yes, its awful that many of you made that much in the good old days, and its been reduced. But as a relative newbie, I have nothing to be bitter about, so I just keep honing my skills and my expanders.
I think a quick email to your STM would be it. sm
That's all I did, said that I intended to work an extra hour each day, although I was usually getting 37 hours a week anyway.
Quick ? Sunshine
Just how strict are they on the 98% and QA submission? I would greatly appreciate any feedback you can give!
