TT thin skinned?
What exactly does that mean? Just asking.
thin-skinned?
I don't really thing that is true. I think people like to jump all over TTers who praise TT because they are happy with their job. I do think people have a tendency to be kind of cranky and nasty when they are not sitting face-to-face with someone, and are posting anonymously. If you have any questions, ask away. I would be glad to answer them.
correction to thin-skinned
I meant I don't really THINK that is necessary...
Maybe they wouldn't be so thin-skinned
if people like you didn't think they had to make a funny of someone asking a serious question.
I think that company is WAY to thin-skinned.

If Americans are a little thin-skinned and anxious right now, (sm)
it's certainly not without good reason! All of us, either directly or indirectly, have been affected by offshoring of ALL American work.
PS: I meant, 'NOT so thin-skinned.' - nm

They pay 0.015 cpl for QA work! Extremely, extremely low, low, low. nm

You can't be here with thin skin
The world we live in isn't pretty. Most take offense to the smallest things, and that sounds like what has happened here with you. Good luck! There are other forums that might be friendly, but none more honest than this one, and I can tell you when I ask a question, I'd like an honest answer, not a sugar-coated one for fairytale princesses. Bye bye! Good luck on your forum search with no negativity! Let us know when you find one! 
I just picked that out thin air. nm

Must be a skinny person who thinks it's that easy. If it were, trust me, we'd all be thin.
No one wants to be overweight, noone what to contemplate surgery, but I think there is a conscious choice to want to live and will do anything to keep doing that with a decent quality of life. It's not always by choice that people are overweight. All I can think of here is ....empathy.. and I applaud anyone who cares enough about living to do whatever it takes, no matter how drastic. For some, it's their last chance to live so spare us all with the Just diet and exercise speech.
It's wearing thin, and I'll sign onto class action!
Right now I'm working full-time for one of the Axis of Evil...where, as we know, the recent denied-until-it-happened pay cuts and global equilibration of account levels screwed me, so I'm trying to get out of that hell hole, where the only thing left after VR gets done are the crappiest of the crap. I saw light at the end of the tunnel, and it turns out it was a train coming through to smack me head-on.
So I guess I'll hang onto the 2 jobs I have now, while I continue to look for 1 or maybe 2 that will be more amenable. I don't mind working hard and I don't really even mind the account job #2 has me on (although it has been NWA all week...must have hired some more bodies), but I hate the perceived sneakiness of it while they've got my back against the wall. GRRRR
Well, I fall above the average I guess. Would rather not post as not to make others feel bad or thin

YES, extremely sad. Especially,
When you search and search and try to find a great company and you find one like DRC. Gone now. Who next? Very depressing. Time to get out.
What do you consider extremely
I work for a company and I average $20+ an hour. For my city I'm at about twice the hourly pay for someone without a 4-year degree and about twice the hourly rate for an in-house MT. I don't feel like I'm underpaid.
If you are talking about companies that pay 6 cpl or something... well, that's a different matter.
Extremely low
I agree that the people at Proscript are great (wonderful in fact), but nice doesn't pay the bills.
My work load there has been very low (to sometimes nonexistent). I have sometimes had to just sit at my computer for up to an hour or more just waiting for a job to finally come in.
Pay was okay, staff was extremely
rude, they will fire you for anything and you cannot trust them at all!! Worst company out there IMO
He was extremely rude to me when he was at JLG. nm

Extremely unprofessional nm
Are you a member of management?
That's extremely hard to believe

As of a few months ago, the pay was extremely low.

I would be extremely leery
of starting up with a company if there was a lot of negative comments here. Granted, we have all had bad experienes with different companies and there are sour grapes out there but if there are a number of negative comments and the comments seem reasonable and not real 'anger-based' - just mostly frustrated - then I would make note of them. We are only going to grow and stay united if we give appropriate feedback from our experiences. If you do start with this company, just be cautious and don't quit the one you are with now unless you have a really good feeling about them. IMHO only.
I took what I felt to be an extremely
long and involved test to be an Editor for SmartMed. Got hired but still did not understand why it was necessary to test that extensively.
extremely unorganized and this
is after being offered a position three times by this company over the past few years and each time I have been turned off by how unorganized they are over there. I had the same experience this past week with them not getting back to me. Then they did and told me about two positions. I told her the one I was interested in but needed an answer about the ins. Then they called me back the next day but she forgot why I was even waiting for the call and then to top it off was told the position that I was interested was no longer available. This is the third experience with them. I don't have time to tell you about the first two. Incredible. I have a better job offer from TT (actually to return back to them on a better account) and Axolotl which I will decide on by tomorrow, and another from Transcend which I am turning down but Transcend is right on, very organized, answered all my questions, and told me what all she had available and I picked the one I wanted, no surprises and no being left hanging, immediately sent me the ins info by email before we even got off the phone! That is the way a company should be run as far as HR is concerned. The two that I am deciding on also are very efficient in answering ALL questions in a TIMELY MANNER and are organized. Debbie is great and Axolotl is very very nice and polite and immediately sent me the information I needed such as INSURANCE. I need to have questions answered before accepting a position. I will not go in blindly. I have a chronically sick daughter for crying out loud and some companies did not even have the decency to respond to me on ins. so they got nothing back from me. Oh and get this when I finally did get the ins. information from KS it was this!! http://www.geoaccess.com/phcs/po/ No information on nothing, just a provider look up and when you click on the home icon and travel your way through the website trying to find info there is nothing that states anything about what the coverage is!!
I will never apply for KS again. Three strikes and your'e out!!
I'm extremely happy.
Have never had a late paycheck. They just rolled out a new incentive plan that looks like it'll boost my pay. I like my supervisor. No major complaints.
And YOU must enjoy being extremely

That is extremely unprofessional...sm
It's also very direspectful to one of us. We are all a family of MTs here, so I take this personally!! I think you should post this up top as a separate post so everybody can see it better. They need to know about this company's baby fits if they don't get their way. They wouldn't be making any money if it wasn't for us!!!
Extremely busy... sm
It might be because they have been extremely busy with transitioning a new account.
Extremely frustrated
After three years with FN, to be treated this way is just uncalled for and very unprofessional. Every account they put me on only lasted a few months and then they lost it, then another and they lost it, five times so far, and now told about the new account with a billion lines, ya right. Where is it? I have not see it yet! Bunch of lies, all lies.
extremely frustrated indeed
Hi Paul,
When did you start with FN, as I started in 2/2005 and what you are saying is exactly what I have been told also. This new account was supposed to keep us all overwhelmed with work and I am lucky to get 1 or 2 charts PER DAY. I'm practically begging for work and I'm just lucky if they decide to answer my emails or phone calls. Ready to pull my hair out...
Wow, that is extremely impressive!
That is good customer service. We are all customers to each other, I was taught one time in a class at a hospital where I worked. That is really nice to hear.
Extremely low for VA work
Worked in VA a long time and it tends to be very challenging and very ESL. For VBC, this is a really low rate.
8 cpl without spaces is extremely low for anyone
except maybe a newbie!
There software is extremely slow. Very
long wait for report to send before you can start another, and I have cable. Not productive. Could never make 1200 lines per day required and that is usually not a problem for me. Pay is on time and for the most part accurate. People are okay to work with, except for one manager who is a "my way or the highway" type.
I am sure they work extremely hard, lol.
They are used to that from setting up their dirt houses and what not. They are used to working hard trying to fight for food scraps.
Are they extremely strict with schedules? nm

Newbies who accept that extremely
LOW amount of pay are the reason companies offshore!! I refuse to baby them.
So you are embarrassed. You are also extremely naive.

LOL okay....you must be extremely insecure to think that was snotty
??
My account is extremely flexible!
Whenever I have needed time off, be it just a few hours during my shift or a day or two, it has never been a problem at all! I love it there!
It can be extremely slow and there is no breakdown, but

Just my experience but extremely poor mgt
no holiday pay of any kind, overhire, expensive poor quality benefits, did I say overhire? way way way overhire which always to me shows concern for company and not the working stiffs...Good Luck and you will make sense of it all...it just is a little overwhelming at times..
It may take a few days...they are EXTREMELY busy - SM
They just had multiple new account start this week and things are really crazy in the office. I would give them a few days, and if you still don't hear anything, it may not hurt to contact them. Good luck. It's a great company.
Yes, they are extremely busy in the office - SM
They are constantly getting new accounts, which means they are hiring a lot and are getting a ton of resumes sent to them, so it might take them a little bit of time to get to the all. Also, they just replaced their HR person, so it is a little hectic now. I would definitely give them a call. They are all very nice in the office, and I'm sure they will help you. I have been there for almost a year, and it was the best move I ever made! Good luck!
They are extremely caring people.
I agree they are disorganized at this time. I almost left because of that. But I decided to stay because they personally care about the MTs they hire. I have not been there long, and I have worked but run out of work mostly. However, they check in on me very often, not to bug me but to make sure all is well. They have said more than 10 times how much I am worth to them, and I believe them. Only 1 other company I have ever worked with has ever been so kind to me. And so, I believe once this huge growth spurt is over and checks and balances are in place which they are working on right now and fixing, everyone working there or who is chosen to work there is very lucky. I decided to hang in and I do not believe I am wrong. Rather be with people who run a company and who consider me a person, than a number and a machine (I have been considered a transcribing robot more than once in my career). Do e mail or call and yes, Becky is FANTASTIC. Good luck to you and to this wonderful company which is definitely worth giving a chance.
They are extremely flexible regarding your shift
They will work with you and if you want third, you can do partial third and first or split other times. They do not stare at you every minute either. They expect you are mature and will be there. You can even swing either way on the times and it is no problem. You will find that flexibility will be a key to your productivity there and that they are willing to work with you. They are the only company I find who works with employees with such good benefits at the same time... Good Luck!
1200 lines per day for VR is extremely low.
With VR, a person should be doing at least 2000+ per day. You're kidding yourself if you think you will find a VR job that only requires 1200 or less!
Beyond Text is extremely user
friendly and I've never had a problem making lines on it. In fact, I made my min line requirements by the end of my first week with it. I've been there going on 2 years now. I find it very simple and a lot of things are automated as far as formatting, etc.
Extremely low work load right now
Supposedly new accounts are coming on board soon.....I sure hope so!
I am extremely happy with Transcend and I welcome all the MDI
MTs to the group. Regardless of what you hear on this board, it is one of the good ones out there. Not perfect, but still very, very good.
The team really cares, and I have had issues and I can bring them right to the top if I need to.
E-mail me if you need more info. I do not like to come on this board, as sometimes it can be a downer. No offense to anyone.
This was extremely helpful! The DQS training is very inadequate. Thank you.
