Thx for explaining, otherwise it didnt make sense
,,,
Axolotl- Are you eligible to retest if you didnt make it the first round?
It's embarrassing to have 15 years experience and not pass. I really feel it was a sound quality issue but that is just my opinion. I wondered if they gave second chances.
Nope, didnt forget - the went grated my nerves, the other didnt
so i didnt mention it
BRAVO, well spoken. (clapping and cheering) nm

GO GIANTS!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is not transciption related, but I live in New Jersey and taking a break from transcription and watching the Giants beat the Patriots was so exciting this evening.  My grandfather was very close friends with the quarterback (Eli Manning) father, Archie Manning.  I'm sure he was cheering like crazy up in heaven this evening.  I am usually not that crazy about NFL football, but with 35 seconds left in the game, this was so darn exciting.  You cannot imagine how crazy this place I live at is going right now.  I feel like it's New Year's Eve!  I guess I have turned into a Giant's Fan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I wanted the Giants to win so bad...
we are Steelers fans and wanted nothing more than to see Tom Brady get beat last night...great game and even better ending!!!!
Congratulations Giants!
Boston gal here. It was sooooo disappointing for the Pats lose the Super Bowl after a perfect season. The Giants were by far the better team last night. You could tell from the 1st quarter they wanted to win bad, and they sure did give it their all! The Pats were out to lunch. I have to admit, after seeing Eli Manning interviewed over the past couple of weeks, I liked his down to Earth demeanor and humbleness. Congratulations to all you Giants fans! The better team certainly won last night!
Sorry that didnt work

Their PTO is good.  Lots of ESL's.  I wasn't there long enough to see about a raise, but something after 120 days they were supposed to evaluate you for it.  They always pay on time.  Platform is very easy to learn. 


I don't know about their line counting system.  I don't trust it only because several times when I would send a job I would keep getting it back several times already typed by myself.  I even got a report that was already fully typed from another person, I didn't take credit for it. Trust me, they wouldn't break or abandon a report that long it had no blanks and 1 QA marker.  I didn't think it was right. I asked the WFC and she said to abandon it.  I got that typed report back every time I would finish a job that day. So I dont know how often that happens, but I didn't like it.


Not trying to bad talk the place, everyone was very nice, nice doesn't cut it..when it comes to work, don't expect any, and don't expect anyone to get back to you about a second acount, plan on working all weekend every weekend. 


I don't know about everyone else, but when I pick a schedule, I pick it for a reason, to work it.. not to work every day and every time but that. I don't mind it here and there, but it was EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND.  Sayin how they are tired of always having the same people being team players.


They require one weekend day a week.  I wasn't able to work any other time really than the schedule I picked


Anyways.. I worked 5 hour days there and I ended up with no more than 200 lines a day.



Might be different for you, but I'm just giving you my experience.


Check out page 2 or 3 on the company board there is more talk about them there.


I didnt know SpongeBob was
But when I just googled it basically all of the sites had it spelled that way except for a few unoffical sites. Maybe she was checking research skills. I duno.  That is pretty stupid that you would be failed over something like that though.  Probably better off.
They lost a lot of us, now, didnt they?
They will realize that   doesnt cut it.
How do you know she wants a pic if you didnt apply? nothing said in ad?
hmmmmmm
Hmm, didnt see the "This is for everyone but MT
x
eMTS, I didnt know that!
xxx
I didnt hear that.....
I was recently offered a job with them, but it was 60 to70% ESL so i politely turned it down.
Didnt he get shot?
bang
Not to worry. Didnt think you came up with it.

I didnt see that when I logged in. Where do you find it.
:
2 days. I didnt have to call them..but if you don't
the recruiter.
noyb - I didnt notice the..

experience/no experience.  sounds even more strange! 


I would apply but I'm not radiology MT...but wait....I don't need experience....and I have a C-phone and internet.....but wait....I would have to work in Yorba Linda.  Geez...how can I decide??????  


I didnt know if they had the 9 foot pedal in USB or not. Where did you get yours.
Your right.. the 9-pin is becoming outdated and obsolete. If there is a USB one out there that works then I need to get one. Can I ask where you got yours and have you tried it on a laptop?
They didnt worry that it would be affordable for the MTs.
you gotta be kidding, lol
I didnt see that info on their website. nm
x
Wow..you actually even got an email about it. I didnt even get that. I dont even know what your
talking about.. Do share so I can decide if I want to be upset or not. Incentives?? who gets those.
I was thinking the same thing but didnt want to say anything LOL

LOL but a few msgs below you said you didnt know?! 6-1/2 is what I started out on.

Sorry, didnt mean to impinge your MT qualities. Do
x
OP did not ASK if paid spaces, SAID didnt. Re your
x
they did lay off- didnt outsource but laid off a lot
They bought another contract and then lost it so had new employees and not enough work to go around
Sorry, I didnt receive an email. Could you try again. nm
:
Do you not come on board until then? Didnt they put you on something temporarily? (sm)
Every company has their ups and downs but in my opinion, this company is worth hanging in for.

Good luck.
G.P. = guinea porcine. (Didnt think that would be
being used as G.P. (guinea porcine) she can leave to work in corporate world, Walmart, start own business, whatever. I hope you get this cause I dont know how Else I could explain it.
I do understand. I'm just saying, get used to the bad communication. I didnt stay because of it.
Best wishes for you but you know you can do better.
I didnt have the best experience with her either, but that was 2 years ago...not as flexible as you
that will change!! Trust me, I am not the ONLY one who experienced this.
I was curious, but it was rather vague, and no I didnt respond. nm
xxxx
Did you read post? OP didnt ask if pay for spaces.
x
No I didnt see that, is there anything this country values anymore SM

and is willing to pay other than tech stuff? I know my son went to college for graphic design and he doesnt make much.


Sorry, geez I am new to the Company Board, didnt
even know what it was about until a week ago!!!
Wrong. We had our turn and didnt like it and left.
x
show me where I said you personally didnt not or could not type ESLs
Get your facts straight. I said a good MT can do these and should expect them in our line of work.

Why call a doctor "Crappy" because he doesnt do what you want? It is your attitude that makes MT look bad.

I never once was talking about your skills only your attitude.


Are they doing away with SE status altogether now. I didnt get my packet yet. What do they plan
to do with the SE people.
Oh Geez- i didnt read what I wrote - correction in msg

Has anyone else gotten late paychecks from Meridian in the past. 


 


I was up working half the night.  So please dont hound me.


Thats Right its not breaking any codes to tell the hospital that you didnt get paid for the work. nm
k
It wouldn't surprise me that the co. didnt want to pay extra for something that helps me but coul
:=
Ascend is advertising pay at 11 cpl. Didnt they have problems paying or is that resolved.
Inquiring minds need to know.
Okay..I think I missed the boat all the way around. Where is the "company forum." I didnt find
anything in the newsletter area except old news.
You're right -- ignorance means a person didn't know, and I didnt. Sorry. nm

Sounds Great.. I have renewed faith but I didnt really doubt they cared..
They are pretty great to work for..
I think it's Texas. I'm glad I didnt complete the testing. The sound quality was bad.
I want to think that this Rose was defending one of her newer MTs that had been burned by a former employer for nonpayment so I find this interesting that they would turn out the be the same way.. Wow...
dont misunderstand me...we didnt work knowing we wouldnt get paid
How stupid would that be? We were paid a month behind. So when the 18th came we expected our check for the previous month. So that would be one paycheck. No one willingly works for free. I know i certainly wouldnt have typed as much as i did for her - taken time away from everything/everyone else - if i KNEW she wasn't going to pay me. Seriously, I hope she rots for what she has put me and my family through. I'm not talking about a couple hundred bucks. I'm talking thousands of dollars. Yep, I'm ticked
I havent heard a word about an incentive and I have worked there almost 2 years so I guess I didnt
qualify for whatever status you needed to get an incentive. Is this something you get every pay period if you meet a quota or just something quarterly. Just curious.
I doubt you will make enough money in 5 hours a week to make
