You know, that makes me feel a little better..
Like I said, maybe I need to not worry so much about what I read here. My experience with OSi so far has only been good, so hopefully it will stay that way. I'm not going to jump ship until that changes.
I do hope that makes you feel better....
though painting and plumbing is quite different than what I do.
I feel the same, but all this out of work talk makes

poster already has 2 jobs..what makes..
you think this person is NOW just trying to fix it?? Obviously, poster HAS BEEN trying to take care of business. Don't be too quick to point the finger, my friend. Yes, I can speak of this with confident because I wore the same shoes 5 years ago.
The MTSO I work for does too. It actually makes me feel more secure sm
in knowing that they must be doing something right to live in a huge new house, drive Jaguars and Hummers and go on nice vacations. They've been around a while and it is nice to know that things are going well. I think that if my MTSO was broke all the time, it would be a sign that he/she did not have a good business sense and I would be worried that the company would be broke all the time too.
I also know that I am not the only one who feels this way. The owners do not flaunt it or rub our noses in it; instead, they have made improvements in the company at the same rate.
Christmas bonus? Not sure if we will get one. Do I care? Not really. I am greatful to be working steadily with a good wage and a good future.
There are so many MT jobs available that I feel we will be needed for a long time. There may be
some updating, but that will be fine. I feel MT will be here many, many years to come!!!!!
perhaps these lower 7cpl jobs feel you are overqualified. These (sm)
are usually newbie positions.
When it rains it pours. Second job offering bonus. FT job offering (sm)
has lots of work and offering opportunity to make up lines/hours from low work during the week. Feel guilty if I don't help main account, but greed motivates me.
The newest one is (sm)
this one http://www.mditrans.net/, but if you Google it, the older one has more information on it.
Hard to believe they are recruiting. The newest sm
radiology MTs just ran out of work because they lost a major account. We also lost a couple of other major acute care accounts. They don't tell us what is going on, and it is really a slap in the face to see them recruiting.

I absolutely cannot believe the trash I am
reading on these boards of late. You have got to be kidding me, saying something like that in public. I don't know how you sleep at night. Shame on you. I pity the karma you're bringing on yourself with your mouth.  This is a PROFESSIONAL BOARD for posting valid information regarding COMPANIES - how dare you discuss someone personally, let alone their heartbreaking MEDICAL CONDITIONS. You disgust me.
Why trash the company here when
There are plenty of companies out there with plenty of work and deplorable working conditions such that they are constantly hiring new MTs. Try one of them if you never want to run out of work.
You did not trash the company
some people just like to put their own interpretation and twist on everything. Stating that you are worried about low volume is not trashing a company.
What does it accomplish to trash a
If you can't resolve it with management, find another job. I'm not management. I just don't understand the point.
Why would they throw her resume in the trash if
She says they promised to call. With this being basically a virtual profession (not local) that's as bad as the hiring party being absent for the interview...... It looks like Keystrokes likes mean people who say mean things to other people on message boards. If you are the type they hire, then you can have it!! I'm not the OP either, but I think you have a crabby attitude. The OP has the right attitude in that she is holding someone accountable for their promise. It is kind of funny how their dirty laundry is on this board and how posters have no problem broadcasting the fact that the HR person was overwhelmed. Hello? Red flag????? I'd say so for sure...... 
I see a lot of well-documented facts, not trash talk
.
And keep working for the place they trash talk
Because no one else will have them with their lack of basic skills. They're stuck and that's why they get on here and talk trash about their company and make all sorts of ridiculous allegations.
Either that or they love to create drama.
Losers either way.
Of course it's good, but with the awful dictators and the trash dictation we get anymore, this ki

Talk of "mass exodus" and trash-talking a great company
is what you refer to as 'not being thrilled about the switch'?
Are we even reading the same posts?
VR people have tried reasoning with these posters in an effort to reassure them and calm them down, but apparently they're off to the races and thriving on their self-generated hysteria.
So, to answer your question, YES, I have said how much I like VR, only to be accused of lying, being management, an inferior transcriptionist, etc. They don't want to hear reason. They don't want reassurance. They want to draw blood.
These people are vicious with their false accusations and assumptions, and now they're turning their efforts towards a highly respected company that I, and MANY others, love working for because they refuse to catch up with the times. VR is no surprise. It's been a force for years and yet they all act shocked when it comes to pass, and then immediately turn tail and try to denigrate TT for implementing it.
And desperate to attack? WRONG. Because I refuse to sit back and watch my profession and an employer I have nothing but gratitude and respect for run into the ground are things I will not abide.
Not thrilled with the switch? These people have the same mentality as those who were burning books in ages past.
SCARY.

Any recent info on MedTrans Unlimited? newest archived info is 9 months old... m
Has anything changed in 9 months? Particular worries are the invoice/pay time; one post mentioned 2 to 3 week wait and another post stated 1 week. Info from the company states pay is sent out 10 days after the last day of the billing period, but we all know what is said and what is done isn't always the same. Another concern is the platform; some mentioned it was slow and cumbersome. They have 2 platforms from what I can gather.. Are they both slow? It seemed like certain specialties were done on certain platforms, or at least that is what I got out of the archives. I really hate to jump from the frying pan to the fire so any info would be VERY much appreciated.. the good, bad, and the ugly! TIA!!

They didn't take our jobs, QT gave them our jobs. The account is now

How much are they offering?nm

they are offering
almost .085 cpl. which is amazing but I hear that 50 to 80% of the work is VR and the pay for that is 70% of what your hiring line rate is.
What is with offering less than 1/2 for VR? Have any of these sm
... people who decide wages ever done this job?!? Do they know what it takes to make it in this business? Or, are they like many other people out there thinking we just type what we hear?
Signed,
So Annoyed!
Are MTs that are looking for jobs finding good jobs right now with everyone looking or is it
getting more difficult to find a good job. I am most interested in jobs for experienced MTs with more than 10 years service. I wonder if it is better to put a resume on or just keeping applying or what is the best way to go about this.
Yes. When the recuiter was offering me
the position I told her I wanted to work evenings and one day on the weekend. She said, "Oh, I didn't realize you wanted to work during those times. I can bump you up." We talked on a bit about how things work with MQ and stuff and then I asked what the offer was and she said she my test scores were 99% (?I guess on both the transcription part and the click-the-answer part..lol) and she asked if I would be happy with 9.5 cpl. I asked if that included incentive and she said that would be my base rate and that incentive would be on production, paid on each check.
I see on the QNet page a payroll schedule that shows a bonus every 3 months but mine is paid on my check instead.
For ME, I was happy with that and took it and ran! I felt very excited about it.
The DQS thing, it is slow to get logged into but once it is up and running I really like it. Everything is at your fingertips, name lists, account information, and the Expander is easy to use. I have had to learn to not use macros -- at least I don't know how to do them on this if you can.
I start at 6 pm and type until midnight. My first couple of nights I was REALLY REALLLLLYY slow. I started picking up though. I get about 1400 to 1600 lines in a night most nights. Sometimes, if I have work that isn't the account I'm on, I might get 1000. I really have to stick with it though.
So far, I really like it. Apparently some people don't, by their silly posts above. Oh well.
Or else the company is offering
referral bonuses.
I'd like to know what pay scale she is offering. NM

And yet, ANOTHER company offering
But wait. They have several incentives. Who the heck could afford to put into a 401k at .005 per line??? COME ON PEOPLE, GET REAL. Stop trying to jack the MT's for heaven's sake.
Companies offering IC

Exactly - TransTech is not even offering OT now
She obviously can't make quota, is pulling this trick and trying to blame TransTech. Shame on her.
Mind if I ask what MQ was offering?
I left them a few months ago, partly because of the pay, and I'm just curious what they're offering new hires.
I thought they said in their ad they were offering 0.08 cpl?
Is this the same ad on the job seeker's board that I seen? What a bunch of liars they are if they post one rate and then offer another.
Actually they are offering it, must be a catch, but they

touting. I have been with Transcend for 8 years and I can only remember maybe a rare occasion when there was no work, and it was welcoming for me. As far as us having all of MDI-MD’s work; I don’t recall every working on one of their accounts, in fact I have had the same 4-5 accounts for as long as I can remember, and they will give me more if I want it; all I have to do is ask. You may be feeling like MDI-MD sold you out, but give Transcend a chance, it might be better, but you will never know unless you try.

Any suggestions on companies offering--

Is the NWU offering medical insurance again?
I had great insurance at a great rate through them years and years ago, then they dropped it because the cost was prohibitive. If they are offering it again, I applaud them. They are a good union and very unconfrontational, well spoken (guess that's a mute point, eh?) but still don't have the big bucks it would take to promote the MT industry on the level that is needed. Almost every American MT would need to join and NWU would need to find a lobbying group to help.

I would consider it a low average right now. Look at the ads to see what they're offering. nm
