Whew!
I am sorry to hear you guys have had trouble, but also glad I'm not floating around in this boat alone ;) -- just AWFUL!!
Whew!!!! At least I'm not the only one. nm

whew, thank you....
I've been trying to leave a company who has never paid on time since I started with them a few months ago and I am trying to leave for that reason. What a relief. TNX MUCH!
Today is my first day! Whew!
Shorthand only works with Radnet, so I'm told, and now I'm trying to figure out how to import my old expander into Shorthand. So far going good though. I'm excited. Good luck to you and welcome aboard!
whew....testy :0(

Whew!!! I knew that could NOT be TT, lol!
Don't feel bad...I've done the same flipping thing myself, TransTech/Transcend. WORLD of difference and I could smack my own hand every time I make that same mistake, lol!
I just don't want someone to get the wrong idea and start rumors about TT again. I work there and *heart* them with all of my lil self.
Thanks for correcting that!!!
not doing job = stealing
If you are not doing your job and getting paid, how do you figure it is not stealing, or the equivalent????
tired, tired, tired of all the tech
problems with these platforms. I just want to work on an old fashioned program, like WP5.1 or Medrite, maybe with voice wave. Too many problems. Does anybody know any companies that use something like these. Just call me a dinosaur lover.
that is not stealing lines
if you are scheduled to work in the morning and dont get on until afternoon, the work that you would have done at your scheduled time wasnt done, leaving a higher amount of minutes when you do get on. It all works out in the end. If there are 3000 minutes in the a.m. and you type your shift, doing 200 then that leaves 2800 minutes. If you don't type in the a.m. and there were 3000 minutes, your 200 were not done.
It's not just stealing the computer...sm
They want employees to take the work use only seriously. Some have used company computer to download s/w or visit questionable sites, or allowed children to use it, and this can result in viruses, spyware, adware. In addition, some legitimate s/w (like for keyboards) can cause issues with company s/w and require a lot of time of the tech department or crash the computer entirely.
Makes sense to me, at least.
*Stealing* clients
You can steal things, but you can't *steal* a sentinent being (client) who chooses to go with you because you offer better service/better price or any combination of the two. Said client can walk away from you, too, if you don't deliver. What company does not try to lure clients from a competitor?
If the severance is minimal, you can easily get another job, and you really believe the company would come after you, then maybe foregoing the severance would let you rest easier even if the clause wouldn't stand up in court. If you really believe the company would come after you, do you want to spend time and money in court, even if you win?
stealing clients
I partially agree, but when a person uses insider information about a client's setup, preferences, etc. IMO that is stealing. You're using privileged information in an inappropriate way. So strictly speaking, a person hasn't stolen the client, but they stole the information they needed to get the client's business.
No lying, stealing, cheating at all.
And I am entitled to my opinion. I didn't say all MTSOs are ethical in their business operations but most are.
Seriously, if you read over the board, it looks like a few oldies who are bitter or newbies who cannot get their foot in the door. It doesn't sound like professionals with realistic complaints. It sounds like very withdrawn, angry individuals who do not come out of their shell except on anonymous boards. :)
For the MTSOs who are unethical ... I think they should absolutely be shut down.
Still yet, no one forces you to work for any company. It is entirely your choice. So, make a different one, please.
Be happy.
Wouldn't that be stealing work
Maybe they are running out of work and unable to meet their minimum because YOU felt entitled to extra money - ever think of that? One reason most employers insist on approved OT is to keep us from screwing each other this way and assuring everyone gets at least their minimum hours! How thankful are your teammates for your help, I wonder?
Not enough work to go around....Stealing from Peter to pay Paul

Whew - sounds like Webmedx dodged a bullet by letting you go. sm
You sound over-the-top dramatic! It is the Sloppiest trasncription rules I have ever seen - sic
Good luck somewhere else.
It was referred to as stealing in a conference call by mgrs. sm
Your equation doesn't always prove true if there is little work, if a person's primary account is an overflow account, or if it is the last few days of the pay period. If people are scrambling to get jobs on their shifts and someone else comes along who doesn't normally work that shift, but is just doing so out of convenience for themselves, they are taking lines from what little jobs there are from the people who abide by the rules and what they had been asked by management. This is most definitely stealing lines from fellow MLSs. Perhaps you have been fortunate enough to have a primary account that always has heavy volume, and that may account for why you had never been told this by management. But, a good share of accounts aren't like this, and this has repeatedly been addressed by management as a problem issue. If it wasn't a problem, upper management (Larry) would never have brought it up in conference calls and in email.
There was no work for me this morning and . . .
that was okay. I spent more time with my 2 babies. I held my 9 1/2 month old in my arms while he struggled to stay awake and finally gave in to his sleepiness. As I type this, I am listening to my "almost 2-year-old" laying on the living room floor "watching" TV talking to herself, curled up with her blanket, and almost sleeping. It makes me smile. Just about 15 minutes ago, I snuck outside and gave my horse a carrot and she nickered a nice hello. THAT is why I'm home.
I work for Transcend. Have been for about a 1-1/2 months. I have learned a lot and I hope to learn more. I checked my Ps and Qs before I left my in-house, cushy, very solid clinic position to work at home. I checked the money situation. (I was also lucky enough to land an IC job with a local clinic that pays .12cpl, but only comes out to $100 a week as they don't have much work for me.) I hemmed and hawed over it for 7 months before I made my decision to stay home. I will admit it, it is a little frustrating not to have work, but, there will be work later. I may never have benefits through them, I may have to marry my (not so darling...ha ha) boyfriend (the father of the two kids) in order to get health insurance....but I'll deal with it. I LOVE being at home. (BF is jealous and wants to be home to, my Dad, who is soon to be retiring, is jealous as well. Course, they're MEN and wouldn't be able to work and watch the kids, but I'll let them be jealous!)
When I first started with transcription over 7 years ago, I never even thought of working at home, never really crossed my mind. I feel very lucky to be in a career that allows me to do both, be at home and still have a career. I'm not afraid of hard work or minor setbacks. I've put up a 1/4 mile of horse fence in 90+ degree weather, this is easy. Sure, it may come with some "bull****, and slow times, and frustrating times, but then I have a morning like I did today...(see above)...and I sigh...and smile.  To each his/her own. If ya don't like the stew, get out of the pot.
Your post was on this morning because

Very funny. Thanks for the morning

My, my, having a bad morning? Sheesh.
I can't see what was so offensive about the first post.
I had one similar this morning
Only it was from Meditech. Never applied there. Letter sounded pretty similar to yours though.
No, just out of work this morning
nm
Electric off this morning?
I think they had thunderstorms this morning and maybe a tornado. Their electric may be off.
Sorry, Monday morning
I could not find any posts on this company.
Thanks, I actually have an interview in the morning. nm
I applied this morning
I took the test by playing and pausing. Then I went back through the dictation and filled in and corrected. I had to play each section about 4 times to finally get it all.
My deposit was in this morning
When did you send your line count to invoices?
I'm not a cheerleader, I just think the good things should be mentioned as well as the bad.
2 cpl isn't worth getting out of bed for in the morning.

Not a single job this morning. nm

No work this morning. nm

We get disrespected each and every morning

Anyone have work at MDI this morning? nm
nm
I guess it is possible but not at the rate it went out this morning. I think if it gets a little
LATE in terms of their LATE which is not late but well within TAT but not 1 hour it seems to disappear. My account flew out the window this morning in about 30 minutes from yesterday so I doubt it got done that fast.
Thanks for the morning lesson on ethics.

I love MT work... I get up in the morning
put on a blonde wig and a tight dress, look like Anna Nicole Smith and type all day long. And I'm not even a woman!
Guess someone got up with an attitude this morning.
You know, I rarely do visit this site, but when I do and I have something worthwhile to say to clarify for someone that really does have a question to answer. I like to answer it. One would wonder if you would be so bold if you were not afraid to use your real name and stand behind your bold statements. There are many great MTs who really would have pertinent questions. One person's experience with a company may not be the same experience that another MT might have. As for my snobby nose, I think you can ask anyone that really knows me and you would find that I am probably the most caring, professional and strong advocate for the MTs that you are ever going to run across. Thanks for your time and you have a wonderful day.
Morning! Can any of you computer-savvy MTs tell me how to
From another program in Word based on 65-character. I know I saw it on here somewhere. TIA!
I was curious about that post this morning
too and did a little checking. I got curious because of the middle eastern sounding name for an email address. They also had an address listed in Viena VA plus a phone number. I did a check on the area code of the provided number and it was out of North Dakota. I would not think this was a reputable place to work, if even existent. Maybe that is why post was removed.
Another morning with no work ... sigh. nm

I don't care if it is 3 am Sunday morning, get up and
I had mine this morning but let me ask about wrong
This is my first time hearing about your pay being wrong. Give some background. Has it happened to you or someone you know? Thanks
Yippee I actually did run out of work this morning!
Just went on out to the garden and picked some strawberries and rhubarb and made a pie. Let's see what other fun I can have today. The weekend is coming up and I'm betting there'll be more than plenty and no long line of people waiting to do it.
The Intranet is down but being reset. Try again in the morning if you do not get in.
I just called my lead in a panic, but she said not to worry as long as they are in by the 31st at midnight we are OK and if it were down then, they would take them manually. Has not happened to me in the 2 years I have been with them!
The intranet will be down until Monday morning. sm
The upgrade pulled the system down but it will be back up by Monday morning.
Weird, I had work this morning and all day. sm
I will say that if you are going to hit no work, generally it is on a Monday a.m. after payroll ended Sunday night; everyone who was short on hours during the week ends up making up time on Sunday nights and it takes a few hours for Monday's work to stockpile.
There's a BUNCH on there now!
Oh yes...I pulled 25 echos in a row this morning
even though the work is always routed evenly to all MTs at my company. Right.
Wondered where my better dictators were when I got on at 3 a.m. this morning.
It is really irritating when pets are put the good/best dictators in their pool and I am put the worst. Glad you GOT your lines, because I took the beating doing what we should have been sharing, report-wise, rather than leads filling pools of their pets with the good stuff!
Thought the same thing when I saw that this morning.

Since yesterday was Sunday, DD would have gone through this morning
If payday falls on a weekend or a holiday, then direct deposit will go through the next business day. Mine was in my bank account last night around midnight.
