You made an honest mistake, you apologized graciously, and you do not deserve the bullying you have been getting. Consider that bullies think they have a lot of power because they are anonymous on the Internet. Don't pay attention to them. Hugs to you!

Searching
I have a phone interview with them on Monday and I'm just really on the fence here! What I want is to be able to have plenty of work, be left alone to do so, and just go back to how it used to be when being a MT was enjoyable. I'm just so undecided right now!

Searching for...
I am looking for a company that provides a computer, has voice recognition, and doesn't require 1200 lines per day for new part time people.

Searching for
I guess I wasn't very clear. Some companies want you to type 1200 lines per day within 3 weeks, 6 weeks, whatever and give you ESL docs you can't understand, so how can you put it on paper? It would probably take me 3 months.

I did some searching
on Google, saw your post below mine this morning too, and looks like maybe you're right because I see a couple of hits from the past with the two with eTranz and then found some old posts from here about not paying by the one person. But it looks like Full Circle is just the other person? Anyone else know anything about this? Thanks!

You've got mail.

Try searching archives.
http://www.mtstars.com/search

Also frustrated in searching
Is there anyway you could archive posts sooner, like maybe only keep two pages of current post? Or set up a search for non-archived posts?

sorry....searching...not searing
:(

Try searching MT Stars itself
Instead of Google, try the search for this site. Type in the name of the company and it should bring up information about them. I hope this is what you mean.

Thanks, searching, I figured that must be why. nm

It was the way you advised about searching
and if you think you were *originally* 'polite', you might want to recheck that definition.

Thank you! I do have a lot of soul searching to do.
What is so frustrating is that I'm really a great Transcriptionist in all aspects other than the production and staying focused for 8 straight hours. If I can overcome those, everything would be perfect.

Thanks again for your kind words and great advice. I appreciate it!

I'm actively searching......
TT used to be one of the best companies to work for, not true any longer. They seem to be all about making money for themselves. No more yearly bonuses, no matching 401K, nothing for MT week but thanks from lower management. There are companies out there that pay 70% of your line rate for speech, that's reasonable. This whole thing is going to backfire on them in the end. I've had several interviews but haven't made a final decision yet. It's not that I want to find a company that doesn't do VR, in reality they all will eventually. I want to find a company that realizes their MTs put bread on the table for managment, sadly that is no longer TransTech.

I've been searching for a prn
position for months! I'll definitely need it now to make up for the lost money due to reduction in pay!

Try searching "CHRISTIAN" rather than DIT
I too got nothing when searching DIT, but when you search the word Christian, a lot of linkage to past DIT posts come up since they always tout themselves to be a Christian organization.

You'll find it very enlightening.

Not easy...been searching for months
I was a recruiter and the company decided to hire a recruiting company...now many of us can't even find positions as there are usually one or two per company and they never leave or some don't pay well. So not easy even with someone with experience.

After searching the archives a bit, not so sure I want to work for them

No. I just happened to be searching & thought I'd

I can't find my answer by searching...
I'm looking for opinions on:

CTS (Central Transcription Services)

and

TRX (out of Oregon and NYC)

Thanks so much in advance! Feel free to email me privately.

It should, but you'll be searching a long
time to find it. Seems 8 cpl is the going rate and 9 if you're lucky.

Is it? Nuts. I have been searching all over for my contract, but I'm not sure
I ever got a signed copy back from D., though I specifically requested that she send a copy back to me with her signature on it as well.

Try searching Dictation Services Group
in addition to DSG.

Anyone know anything about Wordzxpressed? Perhaps I flunked archive searching, sm

but I cannot seem to find anything recent about them. I hear so many horror stories about so many companies, it is hard to know who are the good guys and who are the bad.

Thanks.

A position like this is a RARE one, newbies. I've been searching 11 yrs for a job like this and

Any good info on MDI-FL. Do they have IC status? I've been searching for sm

the past 15 minutes and have found nothing!! I read somewhere someone said you have to have tough skin to work for MDI-FL. I wonder what this means! :)

Thanks to anyone with any info on this company. Trying to leave MQ and make some decisions here. Help out a fellow MT. Love ya. LOL

After much searching on this board, I am not finding any info on Focus for sm
rate in pay. Can anyone please spare a fellow MTs time and just let me know if their pay is decent?? I just got a 10% decrease in pay today with MQ and I am just so upset! I'm looking for a decent company, that's all. Thanks so much!

Keep searching. All the good stuff is kept in house now. If you snag Op reports out here, they're

Only those Good/Happy Friday emails to try to keep us from searching for jobs during the weekend

TT throws out a *line* on Friday emails, hoping that we will bite. TT mgmt does not know what to do now ! I truly believe that !

I'm not sure that they will make it through this, if Dictaphone has taken away some of the Dictaphone accounts works and dividing it out among other Dictaphone customers.

I don't see a pretty picture at Transtech anymore. Don't say that I am just a negative person; what is pretty about it?

When a new MTSO signs on with Dictaphone, they are going to give them work from somewhere, and I believe it is from TransTech.

I am so disheartened by all this with TT.

Promises for new work coming onboard is exactly what one poster said -- more Dictaphone overflow accounts! Not enough work for ALL the MT's TransTech has hired within the past few months.

Here's the deal - if you find one that fits, even remotely. STAY!! stop searching for "perfect
