You can block your e-mail so no one can contact you privately; some people like to be contacted via e-mail, others do not. I am not sure how to do that, but contact the moderator.
Even if you had posted the article, that is fine; I love working for a company that is the #1 publicly traded company in Georgia. Mr. Gerdes just sent out an e-mail stating that we also were ranked highly in Forbes. With all of the horrible economic news, I am glad I work for a stable company. It's not for everyone though - to each his/her own.

Has anyone here ever read the message board
It's pretty interesting in that some posts have been made in regard to stocks being valuable based on the MTs. One even said that As long as there is cash in the bank and transcriptionists transcribing it remains a viable opportunity. I wonder if they know all the problems with keeping transcriptionists transcribing there. I also wonder if that post came from Transcend management.
Read sixth message down!!
!!!
They do offshore, read message below.

Daphne, please read my message to you
I take great offense at your post!!! I am a perfectionist in my field. I have excellent grammatical skills. However, when I post on this board, I do not expect for my message to be edited by others. We all make typos, transpose letters, leave off letters, etc., when posting! If you cannot handle reading these posts, perhaps you should not do so. IMHO.
read sticky message "embracing..." on

Medware please read message before glowing reply
I've seen glowly replies everytime anyone asks about Medware, but on looking into it I find a few things to be not so great and am wondering why everyone who replies says they're wonderful?
First, top line rate 0.085 cpl doesn't seem really that great to me for someone with quite a few years experience in acute care.
Second, incentive pay only has one tier, so essentially anyone who can produce 150 lines per hour gets the same pay. It seems like 150 lph should be able to done by even a newbie.
Third, the way to get a raise is to leave transcription (become an Editor sounds like).
Fourth, they obviously offshore!
Last, insurance while lower than some is still not really good.
With all these added up ... how does Medware still end up being AAMT top employer twice in the last five years and why does everyone on here rave about them?
Sorry. You're right. I guess I should have read that message more closely.
I actually put a message on the moderator board...guess they didn't see it yet (NM)
didn't you read the TOS?
x
I read it . . . didn't see anything bad :)
Unless I missed something. Please clue me in if I did.
Apparently you didn't read them
There are posts from 2008 with plenty of negative info. You should search again and make sure you read them this time.
Didn't have to read beyond the first sentenc....sm
to see that this is not the company for me. I cannot see why companies do not pay for spaces. Well.....I guess I do....it saves them money.....but that's just plain CRAZY! Howwouldtheyliketoseereportsthatlooklikethis?
Thanks for the info. You've helped me make up my mind.
Because YOU didn't read the thread... sm
It wasn't about the hearing test. Holy crap! It was a comment made that a woman's husband's company makes people sign something saying they can go into their past medical history. they don't want to hire them if they think they will make too many insurance claims.
That would unfairly bias the sick and the elderly.
I almost didn't read your post...
... because I thought you were someone asking what it's like to do radiology work at Transcend, and I don't.
But I'm glad I did click to read it, and I'm glad some more of the folks who are happy working at Transcend--and are still working the same accounts with virtually no changes (except good ones) YEARS after their own merger--are coming on board to tell their stories. My own merger (from TRS) was only 5 months ago, and just about all I hear is 'just wait, they'll give your good account to somebody else, they'll move you to something lousy with no work available, they'll make you do speech-wreck, whether you want to or not, and you'll soon be singing a different tune,' that sort of thing.
But beware... you say anything good about Transcend on this board, and you'll soon be labeled a 'suit.'
I am not a suit. I am a pajama. And hey... I could only WISH they'd pay me for all this free positive PR I'm doing..... :)
Perhaps you didn't read all the postings.
Maybe that's what the OP was talking about; we don't know as it could be interpreted either way. However, a subsequent poster did state that she indeed had a company charge her $5 a paycheck for the privilege of having it direct deposited. So maybe you better check your alarm clock.
LOL, guess I didn't read where it said subject (sm)
See, I'm just too dang stressed. Oh well, just don't sell my address, I get enough spam as it is and never read it.
you obviously didn't read my entire response
or can't understand me.
I read on this board that someone heard they didn't anymore(sm)
I don't know for sure.
I should have read the plan closer. Didn't know about the PTO restriction. Thanks.
Figures..
I think you better learn to read better, I didn't say I don't work weekends
I said I get to spend more time with my family by working 3rd shift on the weekends and evenings. I have to work either a Sun-Thur or Tues-Sat shift just like any normal MT who cares about the company they work for and their TAT requirements.
honestly, no I didn't read. Pretty sure I'm quitting NM
remember, (I'm sure you don't remember :) just saying, I went through this with Spheris, stuck it, ended up leaving anyway
How can a message be confidential if it posted on a public message board? nm
sm small message or see message...geesh..nm
x
please don't put nm or call yourself nm if you have a message - nm means no message -sm
nm means no message. sm means see message. if you call yourself nm, then people might not click to read the rest of your post.
just trying to help.
ps. if the money is there, why does that particular person's balance say zero?
I read all read all the threads in the "companies" section
of another board, MT Chat, and Googled each one that got positive reviews. If they had a website and a way to apply online, I did so. And that was how I got hired at TRS. They were not advertising at the time. By sheer coincidence I applied to Transcend just before I applied to TRS, and they were not interested in what I had to offer at the time. And now they've got me anyway, since they bought TRS. Interesting how things work out sometimes.
Companies with negative reviews, or company queries that got only a terse I sent you a PM reply, I passed over.
I can't give you the name of the message board, but it is not a free message board (HINT). There
Monitor, I hope this post is okay.
But that could be Leave a Message or Little Message! LOL

Congrats! :) SM = see message. NM (no message)
I didn't say I didn't care, I just don't understand
why the sudden outrage over HL offshoring.
I read your post. What do you want me to re-read?
and it seems those are your posts, too, so things just didn't add up and seemed inconsistent. If a place dropped me down to p.r.n. at 7 cpl or whatever and I already had another job where I could get 1000-1500 lines, I wouldn't give the first place a second thought so just couldn't figure out why anyone else would.
She didn't say they didn't offshore at all s/m
What she did say is that if the work needs to be done here, it stays here (paraphrased a bit, I think).
That is not lying and saying that they don't offshore work, as was stated by another poster above, but saying that if the client wants the work to stay in the US, they will keep it here. Sheesh.
ek is full of it.
sorry ek but you have been outed.
you are full of it
nm
OMG but you are full of yourself! sm
You know, we really want to be behind you cos I'm sure all of us would HATE to be in your friend's shoes, but you sure are alienating all of us with the way you respond to us.
Please remember where your anger should be directed -- toward the guilty party, not US.
And telling us what to post is really over the top. (Support the post or don't write anything please.) This is a public forum and we are all entitled to our own opinions, and just because you said to not comment on how the situation got to where it is now does NOT mean that we have to comply. If someone is curious, they have every right to ask. You may choose not to answer, however.
As far as I know they only pay if you have AT&T. I'm full-time also and don't get anything fo
x
JLG does for full time.
They do not for part time though.
consider the MT already has a full-time job, though
/
Keystrokes Full
I've interviewed with them, went through the process, only to find they have no openings for what I'm looking for at the moment. I type the big 4 and ER. Think they had clinic available, but not interested......
Full timer here
I work as an Editor for them. The platform couldn't be any simpler, honestly. Good mixture on most of the accounts as far as ESL/other. Growing like crazy!! The bonuses are for real as well. Very nice folks to work for and plenty plenty of work; in fact they are trying to get more MTs on board to be able to stop sending so much out.
Full time
Thanks for the info!
Is that full or part?
No message
Can you tell me what they consider to be full-time? TIA nm

I would rather not give the full name...sm
of the company with the line counting issues, but they are out of Florida and start with an M. There have been several posts lately about them running out of work and a major change in management. Hopefully, that is enough information for you. 
Use full name of owner. nm
I do VR full time...
The best platform by far is Escription which is very productive. I was nervous about VR too but even with 50% pay per line I am making a lot more money overall. I do have some typing but the older the account is the better the VR is. Some notes i barely have to edit now. If I straight type I average around 200 lph (acute care) but on VR I do well over 500+. Escription learns indefinitely, so the longer the account has been there the better it is. I try to keep my lines per hour on VR at least above 250 which even on a brand new account has never been an issue, so I have made out. The typing break is great and I absolutely love it. If you have more specific questions, feel free to email me. (I am just an MT and not management for a company or anything like that.)
For full-time
line count is 11,000 per pay period and for PT it is 5000. They're pretty reasonable on QA, not nearly as bad as other companies.
positions are all full
nm
full time
full time pay scale for IC 3000 lines 7.5 cpl, 6000 9 cpl anything above 6000 is 10 cpl.
