How could Transtech mgmt be so noncaring of their MT's who provide their paychecks for them??? Yet, they care NOT of the MT's get a paycheck or NOT.
Soon to be gone from TT. Not what it was cracked up to be from the beginning.
Mgmt and those leads/sups who are STEALING our work should add money to the piecework MT's paychecks every pay period that we make less. Oh, boy, you are really good mgmt at TT !!!
The sweet talk from most of your mgmt-type people wore out VERY QUICKLY. What is left from TT for the MT's -- NOTHING but low and no work.
Mgmt, SHARE YOUR PAYCHECKS/GAINS/BONUSES with us lowly *per your opinion of us in reality* MT's who type our fingers off so that you can GET ALL THAT MONEY for YOURSELVES !

TransTech has no work; that is why; lost accounts; overhired significantly BAD nm
Does TT care? No, they get their big paychecks no matter if the MT's do or not.
outsourcing/offshoring
MDI -Florida does not offshore but Partners in Practice does offshore. I think people should be honest when they post a job offer.
do you mean offshoring, (not outsourcing)?
nm
It is offshoring, not outsourcing.

Outsourcing does not necessarily mean offshoring. nm
Outsourcing and offshoring are 2 different things. n/m

Are you discussing offshoring or outsourcing?

Lost job to outsourcing through a large hospital
Just found out my job is over at the end of August. Have worked for MeritCare Hospital in Fargo, ND, for 2 years and they decided to outsource everything. Any great ideas for me?
That site says outsourcing companies and offshoring. It
does not say Alphabest offshores. I know she doesn't. All companies are outsourcing companies for hospitals. I do not see anything on that site that says those companies listed offshore. The ones that do say they do
when did they start Offshoring (not outsourcing) to other countries?

TransTech, Outsourcing?
Is all work based in the US, or do they have other countries transcribing also?
I am so hoping that TransTech has not begun to offshore. I do know that they were outsourcing
some work some time ago to another MTSO. There has ALWAYS been work during the evening hours and early, early a.m. hours, but NONE to be found anymore. Good time for the foreigners to be working 
I hope and pray that TT has not started offshoring our work. The work has definitelyl disappeared somewhere. I don't believe that even with VR our work would disappear so FAST and STAY GONE SO LONG. This LOW and NO WORK has been going on for the past year and more -- before TT began VR. It has been a struggle to get lines/hours in for a LONG TIME at TT.
Or maybe Dictaphone took away some of the work on the Dictaphone accounts and shared it with another MTSO.
Yep, exactly -- TransTech lost accounts and I truly believe is in financial trouble right now !
That small overflow account acquired has not paid yet, and the HUGE hospital they lost is no longer paying them.
I really think TT is in lots of trouble right now money-wise. Keeps changing payroll companies due to *floating* and not having the money for the payroll company, is my thoughts.
We had the best payroll company in the world -- but TT all of a sudden changed . . . and I mean ALL OF A SUDDEN, so much so that all our payroll information was WRONG, etc. Horrible time with this new payroll company, but it was a FAST decision made on TT's part. Probably had no choice except to change payroll companies.
TT is not stable as far as financial backup. Just imagine after losing a HUGE hospital account how much less money was coming in this week and prior. Those little overflow accounts just don't bring in a lot of monies. Dictaphone controls how much money TT gets -- due to Dictaphone owning the platform and dividing up the work between Dictaphone's customers !
 times for TT now.

Outsourcing our work!
Great idea - Donna - If we got organized and spread the word as to who to work for that was not doing this to a major degree and let our local medical community be aware of the dangers of the medical records not coming under any privacy laws and the patients response to this - then we could make a difference. If we could only get an organized effort going - I would be more available and willing to help - even if it would mean a trip to Washington DC on my own dime.
Please let me know what kind of efforts I can join to fight this - are there any around Tampa Bay? We should be organized in our fight and bring this up at the local medical association meetings and convince the doctors that a penny saved is not necessarily a penny in the direction of 'best practices' in the end! Please feel free to e-mail me anytime. Let's Roll!!
There is lost of work at MDI-FL....
Call the office and ask for another account. There are three starting tomorrow. I just got an e-mail about one with a system called Intrascript.
Outsourcing is a hospital sending work out to SM
be done by a service (for our purposes, this is a good definition), while OFFSHORING is when a hospital or service sends the work outside the U.S. (like to India, Pakistan, Phillippines, etc.) to be done.
outsourcing means the work is sent outside the office
so if they do not have an inhouse transcriptionist, they outsource the work to a service or IC. Off shoring is work done somewhere outside U.S. However, most people do not make a distinction between the two. Outsourcing CAN BE offshoring and often is used interchangeably.
That is talking about outsourcing not off-shoring work. NM

if you go to work for them you have lost your mind (IC or otherwise)
they are absolutely the worst company in the history of companies. You're better off at McDonalds.
My thots exactly. Why not pull some of the work back from outsourcing
and ask us if we want to learn a new platform rather than telling us to take the day off or telling us to adjust schedules to meet the demand (which there is none since I already do that). There is no work and they continue to send work overseas. They continue to put new people on to help and we have even less work. Management is not concerned about the peons, just their own fat paychecks and fun times in the city.
Between the outsourcing and overhiring, there is absolutely no work for anyone/anything American, pe

Sure, have lost patience, never lost sense of acting

To those complaining about no work because of the lost account...
I wasn't aware that an account was lost because I wasn't on that account. However, instead of complaining about not enough work because an account was lost, you should be thanking DSG for not just up canning your butts! They could have just gotten rid of the ones on that account, but sounds like to me they tried to move you to other accounts in order to keep you on at the company. I guess if you look at it that way, they don't sound so bad, huh? Everyone is always so quick to look for the bad and bash a company and don't think about the other side of things. I'm sure it wasn't their wish to lose that account, but it sounds like to me they are trying to look out for their MTs.
I think one of the hospitals is onto them about offshoring their work
x
What work are they offshoring? I get horrible
dictation and I get very good dictation. I work on multiple accounts and the dictators aren't disappearing. I get work types of all kinds, depending on the workload, and lately I've gotten a mix of stuff.
Shouldn't you get to work? They need you typing, b'cuz they have lost all

I also lost hospital job and have tons of clinic work
Hospitals can afford the software, clinics cannot.... It will be a long time before any of these clinics can afford the software especially when the health insurance providers refuse to reimburse for services rendered like they should... When I say clinic, I mean private practice....
The reason Transcend is offshoring is because no one here wants to work for them! nm

TT works for me - plenty of work, no offshoring.
nm
Dictaphone is a company offshoring our work.
x
The hospital I work has no intention of outsourcing...physicians and administrators want inhouse tra
and Medquist hasn't bothered us at all. Our reps are still the same personable guys they have always been.
No, I wouldn't go back. I lost too much money there ALWAYS running out of work (sm)
There were days at MQ I would type 2 reports during my shift, and I had a LOT of accounts in my pool! A friend of mine who started at the same time I did with MQ is still there and she is always out of work. I just can't take the chance.
Lack of work, offshoring, never answer e-mails....
Yes, I think you should work for that offshoring company, go for it!. Feeding your family ist the m
Nobody is going to pay your bills and put up a monument for you because you refused to work for an offshoring company!
QT lost jobs lost dreams
webmedx is hiring but they may already have enough people, I got a job there last week. No matter what kind of bull you are hearing from management or otherwise is a lie. The account is gone, please look for new jobs
yeah - they haven't told a couple of hospitals that they are offshoring their work - but I think
x
I guess this explains part of the reason we keep running out of work. My office lost a lot of huge
accounts in the past year.
Well I don't work for Transtech and this discussion isn't about Transtech...
and that is not age discrimination....give me a break...
That is a BIG problem at TransTech is leads assigning work, rather than letting the work flow
This TT MT just admitted to that fact. It has been very obvious, as so easy to tell how work comes into our que and then gets pulled out as fast as it came in and replaced with YUKKY dictators. VERY frustrating to us other TT MT's who take the JUNK that is NOT assigned to other MT's, such as this poster.
There is NO work at Transtech. Maybe they just choose special people to send work to

NO WORK at Transtech -- did no good to work the holiday for 1.5 lines, did it?
I am sure the office staff will share their PAID HOLIDAY MONIES with us who sit here with no work. This has gotten to be such a frustrating profession. I guess I need to relocate to Houston so that I can work in the office, too, and reap those wonderful paid benefits that us at-home piecemeal workers do not get.
huh? are you saying why not work at transtech? sm
Been there, done that and don't want to again due to the amt of ESLs Transtech had. i couldn't make good $ with so many different ESLs that i couldn't get used to them. so are you saying Probity is equivalent to transtech in ESL regard?
TransTech - what are they like to work for? s/m
Are you expected to produce a certain amount of lines per pay period?
Do they pay on time?
I have been offered a position but would like to know more about the company before I decide whether or not to take things any further.
Thanks for any information you can provide.
For those of you who work at TransTech doing VR, do you like it there? NM

How is TransTech to work for? ...sm
I got a job offer from Transtech Medical. Its sounds pretty good. I was wondering what the opinion was of present MTs with TransTech, how they are to work with, communication, platform, line counts, etc.??? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Never did, never will work for TransTech...
See my post reply above
At least Transtech allows you to work whenever you want.

Don't tell me! You used to work for Transtech!

Who gives a rat's *****. You won't be able to pay for a new car!!!!!! NO WORK AT TRANSTECH
