you are ignorant and stuck in the Middle Ages...
VR is not always bad, the bad is that the pay is much, much too low. It should pay the same as straight.
That's not set in stone
It depends on the account, years as an MT and VR experience. I made more than that.
Set-in-stone schedule or will they allow a window for work? nm

Get everything about schedule written in stone before you start.
and my manager was the most uncaring person I have ever worked for.
"Holiday" pay went out with the dark ages even in hospitals.
Most places, except for businesses who close on what they elect to call paid holidays or weekends, have gone to a leave bank, where all leave is put into a large pool and you can draw on it as you wish. This pool includes sick leave, holidays, and vacation time. this eliminates problems with those who feel legal holidays should be other than the standard Christian holidays that most of us celebrate.
Your best bet is to request the day off as PTO and get over the feeling that you are entitled to be off every holiday. If you want every weekend and every holiday off, then go to work for a private doctor, although most of the doctors where I live now are open on Saturday.
Not staying back in the dark ages
VR is definitely the thing of the future and I am already there, which most of the others on here, like it or not, will be before long. I can just see it now, the ones going kicking and screaming, or like the 1 about a month ago, jumped ship because of VR, got another job and OMG, the new job immediately went to VR. I am keeping up with the latest technology, I will welcome others as they have to switch.
I'm on salary and looking to leave for ages, guess there is no perfect job.

That's the most dehumanizing thing I've heard in ages
Okay, I don't have any intention to going to Transcend even BEFORE I read this piece of information. I immediately bailed and am happily already working somewhere else with another PT lined up I start Monday 'just in case' (the old eggs/basket theory here).
But THIS???
That is dehumanizing, demoralizing, and REPUGNANT behavior on the part of ANY employer. I am sick to my stomach reading that, OP.
Vile does not even begin to describe the attitude of ANY company that would have such an attitude toward an employee having a family problem.
I WILL give this to MDI-MD, and I do not believe my sister MTs will argue. Those people were WONDERFUL when an emergency arose and we were called away, whether it was for a few hour or a few days. Never a word, except words of encouragement and to say they hoped things worked out well and to keep them posted. I, to this day, believe they honestly did have compassion in this regard.
But THAT is what those staying have to look forward at Transcend?
I am SO grateful I immediately jumped ship. I could never work for an organization that treated people that way.
I'm so sorry for your loss and for the extra unnecessary and INEXCUSABLE stress you were put through during your time of need.
I am stuck at OSi
I tried full time with another company but had issues with their platform and couldn't make my line count so now I'm stuck back at OSi full time and hate every minute of it. I'm too depressed and downtrodden to even keep trying. I feel like I'm in an impossible situation. This has been going on for years and I don't know where to turn. If I make another leap which doesn't turn out I will be in the same boat.
Looks like you are stuck with us.

Sorry - that should be "sincerely" - the "c" key stuck on me again!

Way too mny companies for anyone to be stuck

You bit on it, and now you're stuck!
You can't trust everyone in this profession. One day, you'll wake up and realize what you're doing, which is defending someone who obviously knows how to make a buck off of people like you. Have a nice life!
Thanks old timer. How much can a part timer work either 8, 16 or 24 hours. If that carved in stone.
I dont quite understand that.
8.5 cpl?? Are you sure it was NE? They've had pay stuck at 7 and 8 cpl for years! nm

It's true that the new MTs get stuck w/ crap
I found that to be true and got nowhere when I asked to be moved. The person who started this thread is making the right decision by leaving and so am I.
Are U new there? Get stuck with an atrocious acct out of NY? nm

Oh my...Ever get a word stuck in your brain...sm
that you know is wrong, but you use it anyway? That is what happened there. How embarrassing.
I have been stuck with companies that subcontracted
I work escription and love the platform, but have been stuck working for a company that subcontracted from I don't know where. I have looked for other companies to work for, but find so many subcontract for the company I work for (who gets the work from someone else) and are connected somehow. How can you find the source company to work for? I would really love to know that. Thank anyone in advane who can answer that. It is very true that the more people who take a piece of the pie before you, get the best pieces, hence more money.
If you have to use what THEY say to use, you're stuck. Ctrl + I and logging in to iChart do not

I saw the writing on the wall a long time ago. Sorry for those who stuck around!! sm
I sure hope you find something soon......my heart goes out to you. Lesson learned, I suppose. When people show you who they really are....believe it.
I was in Fort Wayne so I dont think we know each other. I stuck it out until 2005, SM
pay went down, down, down.

Mine didn't seem to work when I had it minimized, so I'm stuck using their own expander, which

2400 lines, I'm stuck on that number. 8 hours??? I want to see her answer that one.
outstanding account(s) to do this in 8 hours. We had one whole week lately with no work at all, maybe get 30 lines an hour. And it wasn't just our office, people were calling NJ also about not having any work.
And if you are doing quality work, you have to be slowing down to make out the slurrs and bad grammar.
Well, her day will come. When they turn her into an editor, and her accounts dry up into nothing but VR let's see what happens. And her account must be very simple (tasty for VR grabbing), it will disappear.
LOL
No one is stuck with the worst. The work is not pooled like MQ. It is by account and FIFO. nm
