Thought it was a little crackly today, but thought it was my speakers or the weather, what do I know?
I'm not a TTer
I have followed the discussions here about the insurance and I have to say I'm impressed that TT did something about it. Most companies say, sorry, that's the best we could do.
Thank you very much, TTer. nm
:)
Not TTer
How many American MTs does TT have?
Tend to agree.
Their platform is not very user friendly. They do pay on time though and their line rate was pretty fair. They switched the original agreed upon schedule on me since there was no work on one particular day that I was scheduled, but if you are flexible, that might not bother you. Good luck. 
Thanks! I think I tend to be fair
and what this and other MTSOs are not realizing is that much if not all critism here is not meant as an UNfair attack. It's a vent board for one thing. :)
What galls me are the MTSOs who won't discuss the problems *before* you quit, much less take responsibility for true problems, but then want to protest when they see negatives posted...
There's an old saying about a shoe and what to do if it fits...
:)
Happy TTer here! nm

Where are you? Or another happy TTer?

Question for TTer's
Do they allow you to make up line shortages on your day off? I know some companies do and others don't. Just wondering what their policy is before considering them.
tend to agree
No company is perfect. Been at Transcend since August, and they have been fair to me and I do have plenty of work and I do work on a cardiology account exclusively.
To Happy New TTer
Amen...Say it again really loud....speak the truth and SHAME the Devil.....Agree with you totally.....
You are so right, nuther TTer s/m
I can only imagine how much damage may be done by some of these posts. I usually consider myself to be pretty level-headed and reasonable but those posts made me pretty upset: #1 because I have been through some pretty underhanded things in years past and #2 because I read a second email saying to disregard the previous email and so deleted it without bothering to read it; thus I just assumed that the poster knew what he/she was talking about. When I came down to earth, I sent off an email to management and got back an explanation so guess I won't be going into retirement too soon. Seems like it makes more sense to address our concerns with the company for which we work before posting stuff on the internet that gives a company a black eye and then having it turn out to be unfounded. We all make mistakes and in the case of TT, I would be furious if I were them, both because of the stuff that was posted as well as with the company they hired to handle the payroll. I feel quite certain that if this HR service, or whatever it is called, doesn't live up to their expectations, they will be quick to fire them. As far as I'm concerned, TT is still among the best companies out there today. I didn't say perfect but then I'm not perfect myself either.
TTer - and other TT folks......
I am curious:
1. What is TT?
2. Are they hiring?
3. Do they pay decent cpl rates?
4. Are they flexible as far as work hours?
5. Do they use a platform and if so what platform(s) do they use?
TIA - feel free to email me.
Tend to agree with you on the
micromanage bit and flexing time. Sometimes have to check your computer for 24 hours straight to find enough work.
I tend to agree with you. nm

I tend to agree
It is great to work at home and take care of you kids....I do. But that is NOT why I got into MT. That is a problem nowadays...people only get into MT to work at home and/or take care of their kids. Not everyone is cut out for MT and it is showing with this type of mentality and the quality that comes along :(
No you can't. TTer down below is hogging all
According to TTer, she is the only one who can cut it. No candy for anyone today.
I tend to agree, especially
Since we are not employees but are independently contracted. Technically I would think that makes a huge difference. I'm sure the referred to lists are management, technical support, things like that. I would assume as ICs we fall into a separate category.
I'm sure there's another list with the names of the MTs dealt with in another section of this deal, that our contracts are in effect until January 2010 and then it's up to Transcend to keep us or can us at their discretion.
I agree, I think we all tend to be brainwashed
into thinking we are worth nothing and the Nationals CEOs, etc., deserve vacation homes, limosines, high priced cars, etc, and we deserve no raises, decreased rates as soon as they put their minds on how to do it. I have had personally a decrease every year, but my rent goes up, utilities, groceries. Even a good platform doesn't matter if the managers cream the good dictation for their quotas and leave junk for the rest of us. You can't tell me every hospital in America is 90% ESL, and bad ones at that, yet that is what they tell us. They do it because they can!
Ah, yes..... as so many things on this board tend to do!
Maybe we should start a new, underground-ish, no-holds barred MT site where a person can speak their mind without fear of erasure!

Here Here! I agree with you 100% Current TTer. Couldn't have said it better myself!

I tend to stay away from anything GLOBAL. NM

Not to sound paranoid, but I tend to agree.
They control the work pools and can make your day as easy or as hard as they like. Before I asked why I was being switched around all the time, the line count was at least achievable. Afterwards, perhaps as my punishment, it became even worse. All different account specifics, all parts of the country, thousands of different doctors. Finally gave up. I took my 6 years of acute care and went somewhere else.
I tend to agree. Seems to have a short fuse. sm
Another reason to be happy I'm working at home -- no explosions from bosses OR co-workers to endure. 
Only time I tend to run out is last weekend of payperiod when OT has been (sm)
authorized starting on Friday. Not too worried, looks like they are hiring more. Makes me think they are anticipating a new account and want to get people on and trained and ready.
This company is too good for me to give up on.
I'm not a TTer, but this is a holiday week. I've
been on OT for months, but short lines every day this week. I get paid downtime so doesn't matter to me. I know next week things will pick up again.
TTer is right. Call or email tech support sm
and explain it to them. It's usually connection problems and/or too many media players on your system. They will clean it up for you. I was getting kicked out several times a day and they took out all the media players except what I needed and then shut down all the applications running in the background except for my virus scan and now I hardly ever get kicked out.
New TTer, struggling to make lines. Are they flexible on this
.
holidays do tend to reduce work loads.
When the account i was given had shortage of work, i asked for and received another account. I almost never have a shortage of work now.
Thanks for explaining. I tend to be a bit technically challenged in that area. sm
If I ever get a life, I might give it a try. Somehow a picture of an old woman hunched over her keyboard, listing hobbies as eat, sleep,and work, probably is not newsworthy .. LOL. 
I can do that as I expect a lot of places are holding off hiring now because work does tend to get a
little slow at this time of the year. I can manage with what I have until January.
I agree. The TTer's should have own board. Tired of reading about TT, about how great they are, e
