Everytime someone posts (MDI-FL)
Everytime someone posts that they have run out of work at MDI-FL, this same person (I do believe) posts the exact same statement when she knows darn well she and everybody else at MDI runs out of work.
Everytime I start this dictator she has a mouthful
of gum, candy, ?? swishing around in her mouth. How rude can you get? Even if she is not sucking, chewing or whatever she is rolling that crap around in her mouth and then there is this physician who cannot pronounce her medical terms and yet she seems like she needs to snort something back every sentence. Just gross!!
Everytime you say something good about a company, they call you a troll - (sm)
Who's the idiot?
Yes, I do. Was this upgrade something that I would (sm)
have seen happening on my screen? Because if so, I didn't see anything unusual anytime. I'm really confused now.
Upgrade equipment
Upgrading your equipment, I cant make enough money to pay for upgrading the equipment! I have been sitting here all day, since 7:30 this morning, trying to get a decent line count and Im still only at around 500 lines..hardly any work all day..just about the worst I have ever seen it. If and when I decide to move on, Im gonna have to go with a company that supplies the equipment. Right now, this pay check I probably will just about be able to pay my bills and I need new tires! LOL! Well, I will be sitting here tonight till about midnight, hopefully some work will build up in the system.
what the heck is there to upgrade anyway on a DD?
nm
Well, this is a significant upgrade from SM
previous--Keystrokes will definitely now be on my list for possible employers. I think you've really opened yourselves to a much larger talent pool with the improvement!
When was there an Ex-Text upgrade??
nm
Spheris upgrade?
I have been down for the past 2 days due to computer problems. I was wondering if anybody else has been down. Also, I doubt I will get any down time.
Windows XP - do you have to do the Microscoft upgrade? (sm)
I've heard it's flawed and am afraid to do the time change upgrade. Will it show that all the reports I do are an hour ahead? I work on Ex-Text.
Transtech did ExText upgrade on 6/6/07.
When we logged onto the system ExText did an automatic upgrade on that day. You must work for Transtech?
It is the companies that do not want to pay to upgrade to get compatible with it. nm

You say word 2003 upgrade. Is this
I didn't have to upgrade because I had it already but if its the same company I think the QA person can use a class in learning how to deal with people without rudeness.
an upgrade? mean newer version?
This should not be an end of the year thingee seems to me. I would ask what exactly an upgrade means. No reason not to ask for the facts. Does it mean an upgraded version of MedRite or upgrade to a newer type platform or just what does it mean.
Company Board Software Upgrade.

Nice people, but they need a major upgrade.
:(
It was slow before this last upgrade. Tech support is sm
wonderful as well. I don't find it slow.
The solution center's memo of an upgrade to the system SM
in the next couple of weeks (not on company computer right now so don't remember exact date) includes release notes that says the issue of the platform freezing will be corrected. I hope this fixes some of my own problems.
Memo specifically said upgrade would address the platform freezing up.

Supposedly new upgrade for WordClient is compatible with Vista, per our mgmt.
We are about to do an upgrade, and they say it will be compatible with Vista with this new upgrade of WordClient. Yipeeee
Do you really mean 12/14/05 or 2/14/06? Stinks either way. nm

0.7 cpl STINKS
I heard back too. No thanks!
GP.... This really stinks.......... sm
I'm really sorry it has happened to you, but like one poster said below, I rather think the ACLU would be interested in this.
I had an employer who threatened to sue me once when I left the company if I influenced any MTs to go with me (as though I had that much influence). I never heard another peep out of him, and hopefully you won't out of this either. I'd cross my fingers for you, but that makes it kinda hard to type. ;o)
I'd take the other job offer. MQ stinks!

Their program stinks!

Cymed STINKS....sm
If you are considering working for this company, they pay 7 cpl for employee status, they do NOT pay for spaces and the lady that does the training is so rude it ain't funny....either she is overworked or she is just a wicked cow!
PLUS, they do outsource and some of the offices lie to you and say they pay for spaces, they don't.
I wouldn't say DSG stinks.....
I previously worked at DSG, but didn't stay because of the sound quality. I now work at GIMT, and their sound quality doesn't even compare! It's so much better than DSG. Other than the sound quality, DSG was okay.
The whole thing stinks. (sm)
I don't think you are getting it! You do realize that before you get a job to edit that it first goes past an Editor in India, don't you?
Crazy stuff, an offshore MT types it, it is then edited by an offshore editor (who is not much better than the MT)and then it comes to us to be edited again with a 100% listen.
I think we have all accepted the fact that offshoring is a reality and we all knew when we accepted the position with MW that we would be editing offshore work, but I did not sign up to work for slave wages ($8) an hour.
I have no clue what your situation is, but I am way too good to work for that. I also have more pride in myself then to be insulted by the people of MW.
I understand, but that stinks for us who need help...
I figured that would be the answer :( Oh well, back to square one.
The pay stinks, in my opinion.

United Stinks!
I tried to work for United for a few days. I specified MULTIPLE times I am NOT a morning person. They disrespected me and called ALL DAY, started phoning before 7 a.m. to ensure I don't sleep at all since I went to bed after 6 a.m.!!!! They sent an email telling me to phone them when I feel like speaking to them. Great...I won't break any nails dialing the phone - TWO MORE STAFF PEOPLE CALLED ME TO HARASS FURTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why were they calling? To ask why I was not typing right then!!! Well duh!!! Second shift begins at 3 p.m. my time and all this drama was going on at 1 p.m. my time!!!!!!!!!! HELLO!!!!!!!!! GET AN EDUCATION!!!!!!!! LEARN THE TIME ZONES JERKS!!!!!!!!! So, for the money and the harassment and the sweat shop atmosphere, I recommend any other company. This one is not worth the hassle, the time, or the energy since the staff is disrespectful, hateful, inflexible, inconsiderate, unprofessional and unacceptable. Is the money even worth it? No, for my 15 years' experience, they offered 0.08 a line. Oh..another thing...I told them I would work this weekend - they don't have an auto job feed so it took over 3-4 hours for someone to 'send me work since their system is antiquated. Yes, you have to rely on someone to send you work in order to have anything to type and then they send you 2 jobs, you type, you request more work, and you get more work after having downtime of 2 hours. So...in 8 hours, you are lucky to have typed 5-8 jobs. So, to get up to 15 jobs, count on 12-16 hours a day!!!!
stinks as compared to what?
x
maybe the account stinks
nm
It stinks right now, worse than ever - sm
It seems no one pays much anymore and if they don't post their pay and ask you to state what your requirements are and you tell them, you never hear from them again. Or worse, they have idiotic platforms that are not MT friendly, no matter what they say. I swear there are no decent-paying jobs out there anymore for the MTs who have been doing this for over 20 years.
It's still Apex and it still stinks sm
I'm hoping to leave there this week. It is Apex and it really is the pits. There is nothing MT friendly about it. I also came to realize they only have 1 account so with that always running low there isn't much hope for making a living there.
yes, it is Scribe and it stinks! nm
xxxxxxxxxx
The platform stinks.
a'fkdakdafkd
You emailed me to tell my pay stinks? sm
well first of all, I work part-time 4 hours a day, and make up to $100 a day, so that is $25 an hour, so don't email me and tell me I don't make squat. you don't know anything about my situation, and at least I don't make 4 cents a line for VR, so I consider myself fortunate. Why did you ask such a weird question, then I answer, then you rip. Just another one of the bitter, unprofessional people on this board.
Doesn't apply if your OSI account doesn't use Ichart.
It is the Ichart only for OSi where you are cheated.
The company stinks and if you look back through
the archives you'll be hard pressed to find a good post about them, and then they have to be from someone in management. Even people that didn't listen to our experience and went to work for them are living and regretting they didn't listen. Absolute worst company there is.
DSG stinks. GIMT is great though
nm
Exactly. India work stinks.
x
grapevine that their platform stinks. Otherwise, I know nothing
m
I knew Transcend stinks,
and they try to hide behind a femce with everything including training pay, which you do not get.
They overhire. Their program stinks.
The training is worse. They outsource work so there is nothing left. The transcription program is horrible and you do 3 times as much work to do a document as you would anyplace else. You cannot use automatic numbering, you cannot do this, you cannot do that, and new rules every day. You spend all day clicking and changing everything.
My account is just over the border in US and it stinks.
nm
Sorry, but your whole story stinks and is really gettting so old!nm
nm
Sorry VR STINKS, I emailed you instead of posting.
You can disregard or share!
She is nice and she does pay promptly and in full, but the pay stinks.
.
That puts it into perspective - and 16 an hour stinks!
x
No - significantly decreased. Bayscribe stinks! nm
