work every 5 minutes (or less) for 8+ hours trying to get work. On my days off I used to work 12+ hour days to make up lines, but then they hired people for Friday-Monday work and then there wasn't extra work to make up lines. I would get up at 3 or 4 a.m. and try to get work. I gave it a good try, frequently asked STM for more work, went over her head. They didn't seem to care, meanwhile I'm taking $300 to $400/month out of savings to cover my bills.

I just spent a lot of time checking the web and the
personally attempt it. Maybe you will get some good feedback from people who actually work there, but there was enough information here for me to realize it may not be the place for me personally... I will see if you get any responses, because I am wondering if there are good things there too... Good luck to you!
I left them not long ago. Way too much time spent talking to
tech support because of technical problems or glitches with their system. I probably averaged 90 minutes a day down-time trying to get everything in order. Their transcription platform is not the best in the world from what I saw.
I just set up my computer a few days ago
I don't think it is WiFi compatible. When you call in they will give you your logon name and password and run a few checks on your computer to make sure everything is working okay.
Left Webmedx and have yet to see computer deposit
Has anyone out there left Webmedx and had their computer deposit returned? I returned the computer on 8/22 and have not heard anything since. All the phone numbers at the Operations Center in PA go straight to voicemail. Any ideas?
Ditto. Please don't buy a computer for work from this company. I left (sm)
this company because of lack of work.
I've learned that it is exactly that - a store front. Or maybe just a front. nm

I left recently. There were days when there was NO
work - not low - NO work on one of my accounts. This was over a period of a couple of months before I left, no holidays to account for it. There was usually enough work on my secondary account, but it was not a user friendly account and it was very hard to get lines.
KS had no system in place for you to see what the work load was like (at least on my accounts) so I don't know what things looked like on other accounts.
Anyone who left eTransPlus- did they pay you your PTO days you had accrued?
Did you have to give a 2-week notice? Did they hold your paycheck until you returned equipment?
This poster is correct. I left in a few days
because the person I reported directly to was extremely verbally abusive and for no particular reason. I had the toughest ESL account and got 100% QA and decent line counts. But I have been through a lot in life and believe me, I could spot an abusive person when I see it and these type of people never changed, so I left. If other people do not see that side of her or refuse to admit to this fact, that it their choice. But to discount what this poster said is wrong. She is telling the truth and I will vouch for it.
That is what I just said. !0 days PTO, period. That includes vacation, sick days and personal days
They should have paid holidays so that you are paid if you take off. Also should inculde extra hours for sick days and personal days.
That annual raise of .002 is kind of a joke especially when at the same time they upped the minimum line requirement from 10,000 lines to 12,000 lines.
OSi just does not have the qualified people in management positions that I wish to work for.
I am glad that you are happy at OSi and all is working out for you. Their dishonesty and the way they treat people just does not work for me.
Of course they can get by cheaply by hiring unqualified people so that is very good for the owners.
I wanted to use my own computer and get rid of the RENT on TT computer, but Vista is not compatible.
Good way to make them money. Not have to upgrade software so that Vista is compatible with Vista. Huh?
You've spent a whole day on this SM
because you were posting this morning when I visited. Am I to assume you've already secured employment somewhere or did you just decide to spend today and probably the rest of the weekend doing nothing about a job?
And YOUR time is well spent here, right? nm
Same here, another day spent jumping from one..sm
account to another trying to get my lines. My primary does not have enough crumbs to keep a mouse alive! I keep on keeping on but am actively looking for another job now.
Time spent in demographics
Are there any company platforms out there where the demographics are already in place? I could just scream sometimes trying to be a detective to get all the demographics in place only to have a one-liner follow. Sigh... is it just me or are there others with the same frustration. It's difficult to make rate when demographics have to be researched and the patient name sounds like Blavopvoskitapove. Thanks for any clues on this.
you didn't factor in what you would have spent
working in an office - clothes, shoes, gas, vehicle wear-and-tear, driving in bad weather, lunches, travel time (what's your time worth to you), make-up (I only wear make-up when I'm going out), laundry (I wear my sweats twice before washing), office donations/kids selling stuff, manicures/pedicures, pantyhose (I count that separate from clothes cuz it's a PITA to wear).
Then there's all the stuff you miss out on cuz you're working - kids' school programs, ball games, dance recitals, on and on.
I'd love to make more than 9 cpl, but the truth is a lot of us don't even make that. You have to weigh the good with the bad. I'd rather make a little less than have all the stuff above to deal with. I never got in this biz to become a millionaire. I got it in to be home and I wouldn't give that up for a few extra bucks!!!!
At least you have work. I spent the money
I agree that the QA person there was very rude in the short time I stayed (believe me it wasn't long).
get a life MT; you're spent
 you looked here too didn't ya?
Soulmates....I think if people spent more energy
on positive things, they'd have quite a lot more to offer this new company. If we all sit around feeling sorry for oh my where has this profession gone or we're doomed, then that is what the outcome will be. Show the new owner that you care and just do a good job. People do lose their jobs in this profession. It is NOT ALWAYS to another country. There are U.S. MTs that will underbid you in a heartbeat and get the job done just as well. Everyone wants to blame offshoring, but I do not believe that to be the case in every instance that someone loses an account. You'll read posts, I lost my account, but never the details of well I was two months behind and really didn't care about when and how I got the work done. Doesn't everyone look for someone to blame? I call these kinds of people blamers. JMO.
"Hard economic times"=we spent $ on M-Tec, sorry
If you spent more time typing and less snooping, sm
maybe you'd make more money.
I spent years in the hospital setting
had no clue about working from home, did not know there were companies even doing transcription from home. What also gets me is the fact that people will state they do not have work, sitting by waiting for it to come in, working all kind of weird hours to make a line count. It is no wonder and the MTers are to blame if the companies take advantage of them because they let them. How one can wait on work day after day is a mystery to me.
Yep, sitting here with nothing again...
There is very little on the system, can't even make low line count. What is happening????
I just spent about the last 5 years doing work I hate because the money -sm
was so good. Which is more important to you? Sounds to me like you'd rather take the one with the type of work you enjoy more. It didn't hurt me to do that work all that time. The money was so good, it made it seem more enjoyable. Isn't it so nice though that you have a choice!
IMO look elsewhere...I spent a lot of time waiting for work rather than working! nm

I found an article stating they have already spent over 6 months
already in place to take over immediately. I found it on their website if I'm not mistaken.
Just checking
Linda Hill and TU are both alive and well. What do you want to know?
Checking
I am going to check mine as well. I understood they paid for this on the first page only is this correct?
Okay, just checking. Please
Any way you can send me an email, cassy? I have some information but would rather not post here (you'll understand once I tell you)!
try checking with the BBB
i am a religious person and would be skeptical of a company that invoked His name in this business.
I have to vent, as I am sitting here SM
with a throbbing headahce and chest pain. Every Friday, and I mean EVERY FRIDAY, I have a day from hades on my account. I work on a difficult account, lots of ESL, but generally I enjoy it and get work sent I really enjoy. I'm used to the doctors and it is not a problem any other day of the week, EXCEPT FRIDAYS, when I have one awful report after the next. I will have the worst doctors, one right after the next, without any let up. It could be random, I know, but I assume they are cleaning the mess out before the weekend, when they have less expereinced people working.
Do other people have the same experience? I work for a large company, not MQ. The other large company. And please, no discertations on not being professional, etc. I'm actually concerned for my health.
I do dog-sitting in my home. $15 per day.

I would be a sitting duck. That is why I am
trying to get out of my present situation of working every weekend, because I am easily swayed. Oh no. Thanks for letting me know this in advance. This, in particular is a weakness of mine and I need to avoid a situation like that at all costs!
well I am sitting here on MTstars so...
That means there are no jobs. I ran out about an hour ago. Guess I will grab some lunch and try again later. Have a good one.
One more computer question. I got my computer today and
trying to set it up. Man unpacking the box and setting everything up is a major undertaking; more so for me because I used a laptop before and my desk isn't tower friendly. Anyway, no info came with the tower and I don't yet have the password to get in (paperwork says to call M-F). Is the tower WiFi compatible? My DSL is hooked to a different computer and I wanted to know if I can setup new computer as WiFi or if I need to move modem to new computer and set other computer up as WiFi.
ERROR: 1.60 PER MINUTE OF TRANSCRIPTION, HOWEVER, HAVE THE TIME SPENT WAS PASTING

I would suggest just checking into other
companies to see if you can find a fit for you. I personally have gone back to IC work because I'm tired of the hassles you have to deal with as an employee. Good luck to you, hope it all works out in the end.
enough already with checking spelling and - nm

Checking on Spheris
Need help.....anybody out there work for Spheris? Need honest opinions about the company please!
I'm checking into it. Thanks for your patience.

From my checking around TTS has lowest pay
NM
I will be checking on this. No fair
I currently work QA there and am paid by the line. If they are bringing on new people at an hourly rate, then we all need to be switched to hourly.
she's here checking on her own reputation. nm

Checking credentials
Agree with you Gourdpainter, checking credentials explains many things. The roller coaster started the down slide several years back and will pretty soon be at the point of no return, if not there already. One could sing the song The Way We Were.
ok. just checking. thought maybe the whole
board had been blocked for some reason or other. lol. pouring cats and dogs here, and supposed to have a condo association picnic today! not without my scuba gear! Have a nice day too.
I am still sitting today and running
out of work. This is not fair. When I hired in, I was told there was plenty of work. Now, the accounts I was told I was assigned are nonexistent. I am being told that they not know if and when these accounts will materialized. I was assigned clinic, yet the only thing I have recieved are OP reports. Long, hard, unclear OP reports. If I was hired and paid to do them, fine, I was not. Was told I had to start from the bottom and can only be allowed to do clinic. So what the @#%^&^& am I getting this junk work for. Moving on Monday. Thank god.
I agree, but now I am sitting here trying to figure it out.
I don't work for KS and I am just a nosey person. Also, I type all day so I have nothing else better to do than wonder what the initials stand for. Sad. Very sad (I am referring to my curiosity). No joke.
yep. Just sitting and drinking java.

Take pic of you sitting at PC with blanket draped

No, I am not sitting around. I am working all night
everyone is out having fun or sleeping. The only way to make a living. I cannot afford to sit and scrounge. I have no help outside of my own support and no family except a son to provide for, you better believe I don't sit and wait!
