I have been with QT since the beginning, have been
looking the past year. Every decent offer I've gotten comes from a company who offshores and I've turned it down because I don't support it. M did say there were working on something though back when we were getting the Friday e-mails.
I am beginning to think we all should
and then when we sit, like I did today for four hours with NO WORK, we can jump to the other account.
If they are going to over hire and spread out the work, our response should be similar in logic.
Probably - she has been there since the beginning.

uh uh you never said that in the beginning..
stop confusing yourself
you just said it, right here, that's the beginning
of the end for the MTs.
AVR TO ITS PERFECTION.
DQS was the beginning of the end for me with MQ
That was the first sign of bad things to come for me. My line counts dropped quite a bit, then they added VR, and of course the cesspool soon after, which was disastrous. I went from making 25.00 an hour to maybe 10.00 if I was lucky. However, I did think it was a great platform, only problem was manipulating line counts.
DQS was the beginning of the end for me as well with MQ! nm

Not related, but they sure like they are beginning to

I had a little trouble in the very beginning
getting my direct deposit going, but on time every time since. I started 6 months ago. I checked BBB and found them to have a BB rating, which is a good rating according to the BBB themselves.
I hate being paid late myself, it is really frustratign and has happened to me far times than I can remember, but I am sure they will work things out with you. 
No other national beginning with "M"...
I worked for Cymed and stayed with SPi. I hate it. Absolutely. TAT is so tightly controlled that there is almost never any work. It totally sucks. And they don't give a damn about us MTs. Just in it for the money. A HORRIBLE company.
I do - have from the beginning - going on 2 years.
I'm beginning to wonder if the person who is using the name (sm)
Keystrokes Recruiter really even works there or is just stirring things up!
it is not actually 30 days, it is just the beginning because....
you get paid on the 15th and last day of the month. You submit your invoice on the 16th and 1st. So right now, if you were working you would submit your invoice on the 16th and get paid on the last day of the month. After that, you would be paid every 2 weeks.
No not now. Through beginning of March I did though.
It was awful, awful, awful.
I actually have a very large primary, so I am quite surprised we were out and you weren't. Usually everyone else is in the pool for 2 or 3 days before I hit it. When it hits us, we know they're very low on work.
A trend beginning...
About 6 months ago, Keystrokes and Transtech were the 2 best companies going on...and now 6 months later, we are reading all negative about the both of them. Go figure. It all comes down to finding the right company for you.
So maybe this is the beginning of a new trend - sm
in American Transcription? Turning it back into a REAL job again! If what this site says is true, I'd be surprised if this didn't become the best MT company and most sought-after employer in the Northeast. I know I'd rather have MY records transcribed at a place like that, and not in Bangalore or Manilla. I wish them every success, and that that other MTOSs will follow suit!
I use it quite a bit, but it was slow in the beginning. sm
If you get the regular version instead of the medical one, you need to program it for drug names, diagnoses, etc because it doesn't know any of them. But you can train it to recognize those words and once you do that, it really goes pretty quick. You still have to watch and go over your work when you're done - kind of like VR editing, because you're never quite sure what it's going to think you said. It's worth a try, espeically if your transcription is a lot of conversational work, like psych reports or H&Ps. Good luck to you! =)
this only in the beginning; doctors have to get used to it!...sm
then it becomes all routine.
When you are put on a new account, they give you also 2 weeks' time to get used to it, isn't it?
I'm beginning to see a pattern
and that being how every time new accounts are brought on, and more MTs hired, then they are 'temporarily' spread onto other accounts, driving the workload into the ground. I am no manager, but there has got to be another way. I've been trying wait for all this to normalize, and every time it does, then it quickly deteriorates into a new account coming on board situation. I cannot keep rearranging my hours dramatically to compensate. Been doing this way to many years to take all the crappy hours/days to make ends meet. As great as MDI is, they must do something differently or else they'll just have to keep retraining, rather than keeping their good help.
My goodness, how much help did you need SM
where you would have to keep evidence, as you say? Are you someone who needs your hand held throughout the shift? If so, better work in-house because the at-home deal isn't for you.
You have to work INDEPENDENTLY. That is what a lot of people don't seem to understand. If you really have no ability to go through the material you have received and figure it out using common sense, I don't know what to tell you.
Well, thank goodness for that because
you wont be able to meet production on their platform and lack of work!!
Oh my goodness, I too would like to know what co that is.
email me if you want to share :)
Oh my goodness!!! Thank you so much!
Oh my goodness....
I am absolutely AMAZED at those figures.
I know by the time I started things were already way down from where they used to be, because I know it was fairly common to start at 14+ cpl. Since I've started, my pay has decreased an amazing amount...which is really, really sucky.
I keep hoping it will get better. Funny thing is, when I think I should get out of this business and wonder what I should do...I always think....hmmm, what could I do to make 100K/year. So, you've just completely blown me away that you actually DID make that AS AN MT!! Kudos to you:-)
thank goodness
your work on everything
My goodness
That was uncalled for. Who are you angry at? MTs who are successful or yourself for not being motivated enough to work at home? There are lots of people who need the structure of in-house or need a supervisor breathing down their neck to make them work. MTing is not cut out for everyone.
BTW, a good MT does not have to be glued to their work 24/7 and therefore has time to surf the net or do anything we please!
My goodness!
It just amazes me how negative this board can be. I am a partner with Superior, yes. I have my OWN clients as well (have for years & years). I do not work with Focus. There are many people who do not wish to work with these larger companies directly. I do the best I can to supply work to this industries. Those of you that do not like it, I'm sorry! I cannot please everyone, but those of you that do work with me know that I'm fair, honest, and will do whatever I can for my team. I have not always done this. I have been with Superior since the end of 2008. So, maybe you should get your information straight before you post things like this. It really saddens me to see such horrible attitudes on this board when all I'm trying to do is provide work to this industry. I do not see what is so wrong with that. If you think the pay rate is too low, then do not look at my job ads. 
Oh, goodness...
Here we go again with the TTD drama. Everyone here is adult enough to know what they are willing to take and what they aren't. Why continue trying to babysit people? 
Oh, my goodness.....
NM
Thank goodness!!!
I thought that I was the one that was going crazy and trust me, these days that is a great possibility!  
thank goodness...
that people are finally starting to see the light about this company. when the editors took the hit, a lot of the MTs didn't seem to believe what they were saying. We knew it was just a matter of time before the truth came to light.
one of the things that really amazed me about those folks is that they seemed to believe that we didn't talk amongst ourselves, so their dirty deeds could be kept a secret until they were screwing everyone.
surprise. word's out.
Thank goodness
Plenty of work, new accounts and new work types on the old accounts. So glad I didn't quit when work was low. My family helped me out because I told them I had faith in TT.
I started there at the beginning of this year, and..
have had no problems whatsoever. Never had to call even once about a late paycheck. I have the schedule that they gave me sitting in front of me right now. It gives all of the pay periods through 12/31/05, and the exact date that the check will be deposited in the bank. It has never been late; always on time. You can even go online a few days before your scheduled deposit, and see the amount that is going to be deposited on pay day. Are you sure she worked for the same company?
Terribly unorganized is just the beginning with them
They take your lines from, send rude e-mails daily, never answer your questions, and have about 90% ESL. Too bad you took the job as I would recommend you go elsewhere.
It's been happening since the beginning of time.
Jobs get phased out and are no longer needed.
I don't know any blacksmiths, mule skinners or pony express delivery people.
But live in your world of denial if you want to. That's up to you. I'm going where there is a future, and that's not this industry.
My membership is up beginning of June.

Slow going since the beginning of July..nm

Just beginning to resume normalcy here.

No other "national" beginning with "M", Ginny! lol

I'm just beginning to job hunt and I'm askeered.
There are like a gazillion MT's looking for work now, right? Why are some MTSO's still offering large hiring bonuses? I'd think they have more candidates than they can handle.
Do you reckon since the MTSO's do have so many applicants right now, that they might overhire just for fun to keep their TAT's down, and there will be a serious lack of work wherever I apply?
Beginning today all OSI MT's need to use holidays as PTO!
Don't stand for this total BS. Ask for PTO right now for the upcoming holidays!
That's what happens with me, too; it'll work at the beginning of the day but then not.
My tech guy said he'd look into it but I'm thinking it's just a glitchy program.
She has been there a very long time, but not since the beginning. sm
If it is who I think, she came from DDI to OTI. I was with OTI in the beginning and SE was not there until years later.
that's exactly what I mean - she knew that was too low for that many reports in the beginning. nm

Beginning to sound like you made this up.
That could be any number of companies. Put up or shut up as they say.
I'm beginning to wonder if that's how he gets his work done for free.
testing MTs. Lol.
Did you read this thread from the beginning, so that
you know what it is all about?
Do not jump in in the middle of a thread!
We all know that we can creat a 2nd email address for ourselves on our computer.
The discussion was about something completely different.
Read the thread from the beginning and then comment.
alt-F8 takes you to beginning of text/alt-F9 to end. n/m

I'm beginning to believe its price fixing
Seems like reps from all the major MTSOs sat down, came up with a so-called competitive rate, and decided to all cut wages at approximately the same time - so there's really nowhere else to go when MTs want to leave! Greed! Plain and simple!
LET IT GO FOR GOODNESS SAKE
nm
Looks like they pay more at MQ for goodness sake.
Pretty sad.
