I vote for MOVE ON!! Sounds terrible, and I doubt
Good luck to you, and so sorry this happened.
Doubt a great # will answer all these questions, but I work
s
Nope, didnt forget - the went grated my nerves, the other didnt
so i didnt mention it
Yes, every three years it is renewed
but only if you meet the criteria and *credits* required - to me it's a lot of work getting those credits! I let mine go because of that. I'd rather just sit for the test every 3 years! lol
Benefits just renewed
The open enrollment and renewal of benefits for next year just took place, so I can't imagine that is happening. I can see over the long haul insurance benefits becoming even worse than they are, but I don't think benefits will go away.
Oh yee of little faith..
Things may go in a different direction, but with hard work, THINGS WILL GET BETTER. DUH DUH
Isn't our contract renewed annually?
I remember signing one and returning it last year. If they are renewed annually, that would explain the January 1st date.
That sounds great. I am having
trouble finding their E mail address. Could you please give it out. I would apply there.
Sounds great
Lets go together!!! LOL!!!
That sounds great !
Thanks for the info. I will do a little more research on them and maybe after the first of the year, I will contact them. This sounds like just what I want to add to my other MT job. The flexible part is what I like !!! Anyone on here work for them ?
Sounds great
Thanks for the info :-)
Sounds great to what some say others
x
But their web site sounds so great...
And web pages are always truthful, right?
Sounds great now, but sooner or later..SM
the technology will develop to the point that it can do all of it all on its own. You probably won't even get a thank you card for helping them put the technology in place and keep the work load current while they worked out the kinks to get to the point where they don't need most of you any more. It will turn out to have been a real cheap buy for them in the end. A little bigger piece to you now in order to ensure they eventually get the whole cake. Such a deal!
If the format is in place for use of VR, why not demand they just give it to you and let you use it to get it right the first time instead of having to take the time to fix it for somebody else? The only reason it makes sense to do it this way is because of where these companies eventually see it taking them, which is to a place that does not include us.
TransTech sounds great
It sounds like I'm getting a good deal then. I've been working for Cymed for the past 9 or 10 months and have pretty much been happy, but I heard that Transtech was one of the better companies out there, so I decided to apply yesterday, and this morning I had an email telling me to call them, and they offered me a position right away. I didn't even have to take the test.
This sounds great. I would love to do mostly OPs. SM
Was that by your choice?
I think everyone's experience at work is different, and it is easier to be negative than positive.
Sounds like a great place, but I wish they
straightened out that I have been reading about here for months and offer some PTO the first year. Everybody needs at least a day or two for illness, child illness, or just some R and R within a year's time. Also wish they hired part time to start out. Oh well, maybe someday as it does sound like a good place to try out.
That is just wonderful. Great. Sounds
xx
Wow it sounds like a great situation
If you could make it through to the first check or if you have, if you can, I suggest that you put half of each check in checking and the other half in savings. Then, pay yourself biweekly. Be strict on yourself no advances because then in your mind you will think you have suddenly gotten a great windfall, only to find in 2 weeks you are not paid again. Sounds like you have a great situation this MT certainly would love it... but like you, this MT would have to be very strict after making it through a long month with no check, and then only taking half of that to put away in savings. Good luck on the project to do this. But in a way, it evens out and if you can learn to do it, you will be happy, your production will go up and maybe you will end up a paycheck or money ahead of the game so you can give yourself a raise! :)
Sounds like you have a great VR account
but very demanding management. Just like you wouldn't work for companies where the VR is really bad, I wouldn't work for a company that demanded I not erase and retype. They're already cutting my pay...I'm not going to stand for them telling me I need to lose more money by doing it their way only, especially if the end product is the exact same.
Thanks! Axolotl sounds great!
I just sent in my resume for Axolotl. They sound great. Just looking for steady work flow, dependable and accurate paycheck and a little bit of respect in turn for the same. Thanks again!
Nah, if they cared even a little, there would be a
w
TechSupport - you have definitely restored my faith in anything or anyone
related to tech support - don't care if it is only your posting name;-) You give some very valuable advice. THANK YOU.
I cannot believe, however, that it has come to this while we work in our home offices, generally on our own computers, trying to make a decent living. Good Grief, Charlie Brown.
I could not in good faith recommend SS
to even my worst enemy. I was in QA, had some of the worst MTs because they could not get and keep good MTs and a warm body was better than nobody. Management changed frequently. The CEO was so slimy that I felt like I needed a shower after talking with him. I can't remember her position, but she was one step above QA manager would send out e-mails with new terms/medications and they would be incorrect. I've been in this business for 22 years. I do about 85% ESL. I can do some of the worst ESLs (don't like to, but I can), but the accounts I had were beyond horrendous. Between the horrible dictators and the sound quality there wasn't enough money to make me stay. They still call me about every 6 months and ask me to come back. Only if my kids were going hungry would I do that and I think I would try prostitution first. I believe in producing a quality product, but I also have bills to pay and I have a life outside of work. I was not willing to work 12+ hours a day and be stressed out every day over the crappy work. There is so much better out there. Unfortunately there aren't a lot of jobs available currently with the mergers, VR, and offshore work. SS is always hiring and there is a reason for that. I can assure you it isn't because they are getting a lot of new accounts.
If you spend time going through the archives you'll see posts where MTs didn't listen to the negative posts and accepted positions, only to come back within a month or so and say that all the negative stuff was absolutely true and they would apologize for not listening to us.
After that idiot that came on saying how they fired us because we weren't good enough, etc. I put SS lower on the list than they already were, which was hard to do when they were already at the bottom. That person was not there when I was, did not know who I was, did not know what position I held and anything they said was because they evidently weren't taking their meds and there was no shred of truth to it. This person attacked anyone who said anything negative about SS, not just me. I understand that person is no longer there though.
Sounds great! The problem is, I have been looking for 3 months - sm
And cannot find a company like what you are describing. Why aren't you willing to name the company? Do they not have enough work to go around?
Would you have to do some in-house training first? Sounds great if
s
Sounds great! Is it Word-based?
I am totally clueless about it!
Sounds great there...I was looking at their website just last week (sm)
don't know if they are hiring though..but can you answer 1 more question? Re weekends: Do you have to work every weekend or maybe 2 weekend days a month? TIA.
Sounds like you work at a great place
That seems like a much more reasonable line rate for VR, 0.065 - correct. A lot better than the 0.03 0 0.045 that most offer. Would it be okay to ask who you work for?
I sure do wish DRC cared (or even asked) -
.
Yeah really. He just has so much faith in the future of this industry
LOL!
Wow...now that sounds great. I hate using my PTO for holidays ...not fair/nm
xx
Sounds great as long as you are a fast learner
Keystrokes must be a great company or landing a a lot of new contracts hiring all of these people. 
I'm newly hired at EtransPlus. Everything sounds great
I am SO ready and willing to sit and work my hours and get in my lines, because I've been looking for a good, dependable MT job now for quite a while. I have an IC job, but the work isn't there all the time & I've fallen behind in all my bills, including rent - so it's a relief that I found something at this point.
What I'm worried about is if my employ at eTransPlus will end up just like all the other companies I've worked for in the past, lately the past few years, where the work dries up and I'm left looking for MORE work again. I'm SO TIRED of this! I just want to sit and work but can't find reliable, steady work for some reason.
I'm stressed out, poorer than I ever was, and really getting too old for all this.
I guess I'm just venting because I'm so worried that this is my last shot at some kind of steady work, and if it doesn't work out as far as work flow, I'm really up the creek, seriously. Too stressed out.
To ex eTransPlus employees, what made you quit? Did you have enough work?
Have to agree with you there. When I worked there, I never cared for the sm
sweety and hon terms that were thrown around. (I dislike it when waitresses call me hon, too -- makes me feel like I'm about 12 years old.) I also think the term awesome is overused. The Grand Canyon is awesome. I am not. And telling me you rock is not much compensation for having no work and no money.
That being said, I always liked D and everyone else. It just didn't pay the bills.
This company sounds great, but they don't accept satellite users. :(
Other than that, from what I can see, they provide equipment/software, etc. Sounds like a really great company. I would apply if they could look over the satellite situation. I have had no problems with three other companies using satellte.
haha, exactly the same for me...no work, no one cared..(no message)
xx
Are you really surprised that they wouldn't let you send your e-mail out? If they cared
at all about their MT's they would have come up with a alternate solution. Why on earth do you think they would or should allow you to basically bash them on their e-mail server?
Webmedx fits that bill, great company, great benefits, great pay and always on time. NM

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

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?

Not to worry. Didnt think you came up with it.
