    part-time IC is 5000/pay period and full time IC is 10,000 per pay period. Need to talk with
    recruiter about cpl, I'm sure it varies with experience. 
    You weren't there, you don't know..
    .
    And like I said, if you weren't typing SM

    the stuff, they'd have nothing to come back to you with.  And how did they get angry with you anyway?  Did you respond to their feedback with negativity and not take responsibility for knowing your account or the basics of transcription?


    From knowing many people with your type of attitude over the years, 9 times out of 10 they are people who have the same problems at every job, don't take feedback well, think they are right all of the time and just generally cause problems.  Instead of taking responsibility for your part in doing a job, you lay blame on your supervisors, other employees, etc. 


    They weren't even bad. I don't know why they were deleted sm
    unless the name-calling started again. That is the only reason they are deleted. I wish they would've stayed as there was a lot of information from both the company and others and none of it really ugly unless someone blew it as usual.
    They weren't very structured when I was there. SM
    They pay okay, around 10 cents a line, but no benefits, no taxes taken out, no direct deposit, so that brings it down to about 6 cents a line.  If you want your check overnighted, you pay about $25 or $30 for that.  Otherwise it gets mailed and take a chance on when you get it.  Even having it overnighted does not always work.  I had three or four instances when my check was lost, twice for weeks at a time.  I'll stick with the more MT friendly companies who manage to pay 9 and 10 cents a line and still give full benefits and direct deposit. I don't mind working a weekend day now and then.
    Heard they weren't less than 8 cpl.


    Oh, I'm sure they weren't! But what I meant was, (sm)
    not that we be contacted before the sale, but after. We sure haven't been getting any reassurance, here.
    There weren't a lot of us left (sm)
    I think there were a couple of accounts and we were waiting on some bids to come through but capital-wise apparently they could not keep operating waiting on potential accounts so decision was made to close.

    I think we all knew it was potentially coming, just surprised that it happened so quickly. I have no hard feelings, but am nervous about finding new work as I have little experience looking for a job!
    weren't they saying last year during
    transcriptionists?  It was part of some contest or something.  Maybe that was a few years ago.
    now I know you weren't talking to ME right?
    /
    postings about them is that they weren't getting paid. nt
     
    Who are you talking to. I did not say you weren't! Respond where you are
    supposed to
    They weren't rude with me, but a little disorganized and
    not looking out for my best interests, but the interests of their client, which I guess is the way it should be since the client is paying for their services.  As far as I know there are 2 women that run this company, I have not talked with the owner and maybe she was the one rude, but the woman I dealt with was not rude, just a little dingy and maybe not 100% truthful about the company that she was recommending.  All TM did though was screen me and then I still had to go through the testing/interview process with the company.  I had had contact with the referred company previously and had even been offered a position with them, which I turned down.  The pay rate offered to me by TM and the pay rate offered to me by the company were the same.  I declined referral to the company, being that I had already declined an offer from them and I never heard from TM again. 
    This is the price of doing business. If there weren't
    something in it for you, you wouldn't be doing it - whether it be money, ego, prestinge, etc.  
    I was hoping they weren't liars. sm
    What a concept eh to think companies actually tell the truth once in a while.  I was hoping they would make good on their promise.  I have spent a lot of time making templates and such and did not want to start all over again.  OK, I get it now.  I told them I would not do anymore work until they sorted this out but I am looking elsewhere.  Thanks for the input. 
    If you weren't looking for the job why'd you read it and post?
    Inquiring minds want to know.
    Don't come back saying you weren't warned!
    Why bother to ask for feedback if you ignore it?
    Makes me wish I weren't menopausal!
    LOL
    I could go along with that if it weren't for the "cheesy" part

    I could go along with that if it weren't for the "cheesy" part

    Gosh, maybe. They honestly weren't bad.

    I have transcribed much, MUCH worse ESL than what was sampled on their test.  When they asked me what percentage of ESL I had transcribed for in an average work day, I told them 20% or less and that's when they said that their work involved 80% ESL.  But man, that 20% that I got at my former job was some of the worst on the planet, I swear! 



    I posted below that we weren't talking about
    Ascend, but that Ascend is well known for not paying on time.  I don't know that they never paid, just not on time.  All the information should be in the Archives. 
    But weren't there payment issues??

    They weren't losing those accounts.
    They weren't losing those wonderful accounts, they were being sent to the Philippines to their transcription center there.
    You weren't even getting paid enough in 1989.
    I was making 5.5 to 6 cpl in 1976. It was a good wage back then, but I don't know how anyone with half a brain thinks MTs will make ends meet with that amount in 2009, or will continue to work for companies that pay that chickenfeed, or even consider hiring on with them, when you can make much more money flipping burgers.

    They weren't related at all. Her sister-in-law is my lead and is
    wonderful. This person was a transcriptionist who took over HR. No one liked her and we thought she must be related to Lee, but she wasn't.
    Are you sure those posts weren't by people who had applied
    and couldn't hack a little competition?
    Don't know, but a few wks ago, they weren't hiring for their net accts., only for the Lanier o

    Didn't get your email - Unless you weren't talking to me.
    In that case, nevermind :)
    If you weren't talking to giddy pc guru

    posted your response in reply to him/her. 


    However, if your comment of Give her a break was directed towards giddy pc guru, I have to agree with giddy pc guru's response to you.  It's very difficult to tell sometimes when someone is being flip and when they're being sincere. 


    Please help promote a kinder world.


    I left 6 months ago, but they weren't paying OT then, but

    I worked plenty OT. 


    You sound disgruntled; no wonder you weren't promoted from within... sm
    sounds like sour grapes. Since when does top management share the internal workings and all the goings on with employees?
    They told me last week they weren't hiring
    true or false?  This was e-mail from Carlotta.
    Why dont you just lay off. Sour grapes because you weren't hired?
    Sounds like it to me.
    If they weren't Synthescribe, they wouldnt have the same phone number.
    regardless of what they SAY.
    I told you--these people weren't only extremely rude and mean..
    But really dense!!  I can't believe they keep posting and proving 'me' point.

    Hey, weren't y'all talking about forming a union? What happened to that notion? nm
    .
    Well, you can tell it is the last day of the pay period.
    :
    16,000/pay period
    This is for 2 weeks, correct? You are able to transcribe 8,000 line per week; I can only currently do 6,000
    You can always tell the end of the pay period is near.
    :
    That would have been $73.53 less than MQ last pay period for me n/m

    About $9/pay period or you can use yours
