TTS-Why doesnt this come up in the archives?
Maybe it's my search engine but whenever I put in TTS, TTD or anything abbreviated, nothing comes up. Anyhow, does anyone have any information on this company, TTS?
OMGosh, TRX who doesnt pay is advertising.
Be forewarned. They DO NOT pay.
Just hope your TL doesnt have initials MA.
she was NASTY to me when i aked that question.
Because other co. doesnt pay for time, that makes

Yes, it came from hosp. And doesnt matter what

My brain would look like an overdone fried egg if I do do VR for more than one day. At least when we do straight-typing MT, we're creating something - a medical document. VR is just robot-work, and adds to the concept that that's all we are, as well. Nonhuman, dispensible robots.
Doesnt matter if YOU see it as conflict or not.

Doesnt it seem like there arent many companies hiring right now. nm

You said it's not TT..but the name does start with a T doesnt it. This sounds way too familiar.
 And personally, I have about had it. They want you to submit your schedule but you never get to work it due to lack of work on your accounts so you have to bounce around, log off, come back later, etc.. It's funny how there's no work during the week but come the weekend when no one wants to work, then you can find some work if you want to work every weekend ....no thanks
It doesnt make sense to just keep job hopping
The reality is changing jobs doesn't necessarily create a better situation. There are new insurance deductibles to be met, learning curve and lost wages due to that, and then once you get settled in, the company may go a completely different direction. These companies are rapidly making changes as technology advances. Just because a company is currently paying 70% for VR doesn't mean that is what they will be doing tomorrow. Changing jobs is often a pain in the rear. I'm not jumping around anymore. I'm tired of it. It is stressful, and I have come to realize when you change jobs, you are just shifting problems around. My last job, I could not tolerate the crazy QA audits that demoralized and were a constant source of stress, mandatory OT, and just being nitpicked to death over senseless stuff. At least at TT I am not stressed in that way. I'll give them some time to figure things out. I don't think paying people half for VR is the answer, at least not in the system I work on (I have heard it is better on the other platform they use). I think they will come to realize this. They may have newbies lining up at the door to do VR for half pay, but that will bite them in the butt if that happens because the quality will drop. I have many, many years experience. I should be paid for my brain and paid well if they want their reports to reflect any kind of quality. I think TT will find balance eventually ... at least I am hoping. For now I am staying put.
Doesnt matter how good the platform is without work does it.

That doesnt sound too slow to me.. I would probably be slower, I am tired and old too.
 Wish it were just my fingers though.
Oh my gosh.. Do they realize they outsourced to someone who doesnt pay her employees, thus she cant
them apparently. How sad is that? I know when I worked for our local regional medical center here they had MQ do their outsourcing but the worst was when the hospital did not renew MQ's contract but they failed to tell their employees. They knew months in advance the date their contract ended but still didnt bothering telling the employees who kept trying to dial into the hospital's system only to find out their passwords didnt work anymore. I thought that was kind of bad on their part. I have never had any contact with MQ and did not know about them up to that point but that sounds pretty low to me and about par for these online companies. I am about burned out on the whole thing. So, is it possible that your local hospital is not renewing their contract with TTS?
You are fortunate. I hope you always have work and it stays that way and doesnt change.

Not yet but our office is being transferred there I think with out accounts. Doesnt sound good. Why
did you transfer from Foxboro. I wont stay there if they take me off my accounts. How is the quality with putting people on all these accounts. It is my understanding all the NE offices will be working out of Amherst fairly soon. What a fiasco that sounds like it will be. How long do you think this will last until all the good MTs move on if that office contines to do that.
Jesus doesnt post on this board. No point in asking Him any questions here.

Of course company doesnt feel compelled to share this info. Is there anyone there who would be
;P
There is no working out the bugs on bad sound. If it doesnt work you move on. My
accounts have problems but I put up with it, some people will, some wont.
Yes, call waiting works. I also have call forwarding from my home line

Agree, lines are hard to get. I also think the sound quality doesnt help things. nm

Has anyone ever noticed how DQS picks up noise terribly in the background. Doesnt make my life any
easier trying to hear the dictator.
I suppose you have to write down the line count for every single document and it doesnt track them
for a total for the while day. That is what I was wondering.
You can call it greed, I call it feeling like
I am back in the 80s with the money I am pulling in. SS, retirement check and my paycheck, cha-ching. Not planning on taking it with me, never. Love to travel and have 4 places planned for this year. High maintenance lady here. Ta-Ta.
Bummed!!! Apparently the MDI-FL side doesnt get incentives. It seems like the benefits/incentives
would apply to everyone. Oh well, wouldnt be the first time. 
Tell your friend to RUN (and I do mean RUN)
The best way to describe that place is great money, but job insecurity. They routinely fire MTs without any warning whatsoever for trumped up reasons, and there is a lot of office politics and backstabbing that goes on behind the scenes. They just fired the president of the company a few months ago, and wouldn't even allow him back into the building to get his things. Now if they will treat the president of the company like that, just imagine what they would do to your friend.

r u eleena sylvia wallang...???
Your friend might be able to
contact her local law enforcement agency. There is such a thing as theft of services which might apply. SInce she works at home, the crime happened in her county. It would be worth a try if she has documentation.
My best friend
works for them and loves it there. I am applying for a job there soon. I don't think they give out the equipment anymore but I'm not sure.
I have a friend who had that twice. sm
Her hubby's insurance covered it both times and with 2 different policies.
Your friend needs to go to your
county/local courthouse and sign a complaint for the bad check. Depending on what state you live in, sometimes checks are collectable up to 3x the face amount plus court costs. It's no different than paying the plumber with a bad check. It's a shame one has to go through that to get paid, but she has to do what she has to do, right?
Me, too, my friend....
Me, too.
I found the email an insult to my intelligence.
I could use a friend also.
E-mail me if you wish.
Why would anyone divorce their best friend?
Don't most legitimate psychologists and relationship experts say that couples should be best friends? I don't have a horse in any race and am just reading this board, sifting through the posts and trying to get a feel for who's credible and who isn't. Your post just isn't passing the sniff test and is borderline bizarre, making me wonder how your ex could possibly help a stranger if you're an example of what happens when he spends extended time with someone. 
MT friend looking for a company...sm
that she could work just a couple hours a day, do about 300 lines/day or so (sometimes more). Is it possible? She is just unable to work much more than that b/c of a family situation and most places want a certain schedule or 2500 lines/week part time and she is unable to do either at this point. Anyone know of a company that she could check into? A decent company. Thanks.
Who you talking to friend?

How would your daughters friend
know your PIN number? Call United Way or 211 from your land line phone and ask for an agency referral to an agency who can possibly assist you.
I have a friend who is working for them and she also
makes the higher amount. I guess it depends on your test score and the account. They do not pay for spaces but .09 without is almost the same as .075 with so at .10 or .11 you are doing good. Good luck.
My friend used to work for them
And she kept running out of work, then one day they told her she was not producing enough so they scolded her by not sending her any work for 2 weeks, she found another job in the meantime. She said they go by weekly averages so if there is no work of course it brings you down.
Uh uh my friend. The AAMT is JUST as
.
I have a friend who works for them
and loves it, still very happy after a year and a half.
Sorry friend, you misunderstood a bit
I don't have any problem with a premium rate paid to scribes for harder dictators, but don't penalize the rest of the team by *lowering* their rate.
That means the client pays more for more difficult dictations, allowing the premium to be paid to the scribe.
No matter what type of dictation, easy, medium, or difficulty, transcriptionists are highly skilled, and should be paid accordingly.
my friend worked
for diskwriter and said they were a pain; always changing things and a bit demanding. but personally, I don't know..
susan
Not all hackers, my friend.
Somebody tried to steal my identity, and they were in a foreign country. Thank god my credit card caught it in time.
That is just horrible for your friend...
I worked for DSG for over a year and they are constantly running out of work...when they do have a little extra, instead of waiting to see what happens they immediately start hiring again...and the same thing happens over and over....your friend is better off....
