Lesson learned!!!
Thanks
Lesson learned
The main thing I learned is that I won't be asking any more questions on this board, that's for sure.
Thanks for the 101 grammar lesson ...sm
 Gee, it looks like none of us MTs would even know how to spell and punctuate if you QAs weren't around to teach us how. The MTs are paying your salary, for the most part, yet most of you act as though we have to answer to you! We answer to whoever pays our meager salary, and it's not you, baby! You all say you don't have time to look this up to fill in blanks....well, that's what you're paid to do. You don't have the time for this, for that... but the MT is supposed to do all this unpaid work while you're above it. Get off of your high horse!
Thanks. I guess I need a search lesson :-)

Consider that a lesson in how they operate and forget them!
Their sound quality is bad much of the time, they are unorganized and so rude much of the time, and it might be easier to get an audience with the Pope himself than get a reply from them on anything you may need to ask! I have heard from plenty of people who are still there about being switched around on accounts to help them out. Pay has been on time and seems fair.
Agreed. I have learned my lesson.
Nah, my dad was teaching me a lesson. You know one of those types.
I have learned young how to survive. This may also include having to deal with parents/boss who give you what they think you deserve and in some cases not much. One thing I did learn though in life you may not be able to depend on others, but you need to learn to depend on yourself.
But an increase every few months isn't in the lesson plan.

speaking of ethics
Can someone tell me how they would handle a situation in which the TASP you are typing on is also an MTSO. I was told initially they were not a transcription company, and later found out (thank you internet) they are indeed. I would like to keep competition close, but that is pushing it.
They offshore and lie about it, their ethics
don't exist, no DD unless they changed it again. I don't know anything about the radiology account though.
Sounds like she has the same ethics as a -
manager I once had. She'd disappear into her office for hours at a time, and behind her locked doors it turned out she had quite the little ebay business going. Never lifted a finger, otherwise. I was so glad to hear she finally lost her job.
There's no law against that, goodness. Poor ethics but
??
work ethics -- not just this profession
you will find there are those kind of people in any given profession. Also you never know one's background and you cannot compare apples to oranges. Providing wisdom for someone is far better and more professional and makes you the bigger person.
What happened to loyalty and ethics?
You sold out! You are a coward and you are weak. You are also a thief.
Question on Ethics on this Company
sincere question, not busting or kidding here. Is it legal for an MTSO to come on here and either start a thread praising their company, but pretending they are just an MT, or, is it legal for an MTSO or upper management to come on here and reply to posts asking questions of a company, again pretending they are just the MTs and giving their -- honest -- praises for a company. I ask this because I know for a fact that there is a current thread on here where this is happening, and I suspect it happens more than we all could guess. The problem I have with it is that this particular company keeps getting painted as a dream place to work, and NOT by the MTs, when it is a true nightmare in reality. So victim after victim after victim, including me, fall for these lies, which is truly what they are. I know this is not ethical, but not much we can do with MTSOs and ethics these days. I know MTs can be threatened by MTSOs never to post something negative on here, for fear of repercussions, libel, slander, etc. But what about the shoe on the other foot? If we know that a company is on here posing as an MT and lying right thru their teeth, or keys, can they get in trouble for it? Because I for sure would love to pursue this on at least the company where I know for a fact this is standard protocol. Is there any monitoring agency or licensing agency or anyone who we could formally complain to about these practices, as to me its true fraud. Any ideas? The MTs need all the help we can get making informed HONEST decisions, and this lying garbage has got to stop.
Ethics? On an anonymous forum? (sm)
It's too much to hope for wanting people to be ethical on an anonymous forum. Just take everything you read with a grain of salt and post what you know to be the truth whenever you see flagrant bull being posted by unscrupulous people. Unfortunately, that's about all you can do. People do unethical stuff all the time in business. Sad but true.
It is a matter of ethics. I have been offered multiple jobs the last
year and have turned them all down because they offshore. I stayed where I am because they didn't offshore. TAT was a problem and I was getting weary of having to work every weekend, even though I did my lines during the week and then some, but I have days where I'm short 300-400 lines. Do you think they got qualified MTs by going to India? I have done QA on a trial basis on offshore work and I have seen the quality that comes from there. If they are going to have to do 100% QA, they can't they do a mentoring program or take a newbie fresh out of school? I've quit at least one job (non-MT) due to the unethical practices of a company.
you said it. Great work ethics these MTSOs. We should charge a retainer. That (sm)
would stop some overhiring.
This is completely backwards from applicant ethics taught in business school. (sm)
This was long before on-line applications were possible, but tradionally, applicants courteously follow procedures outlined by hiring company. Then you have a chance to ask your questions. And teachers advised you to have serious, respectable, and not focus too much on money or benefit issues until the employer reached the stage where they knew they were interested in you. Only then could you get into very polite, carefully worded money negotiations.
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

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.
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.
