I hate to say this for lack of spoiling a good thing, but I am really, really happy at Transcend.  They have been great so far.  A little disorganized at times, but I can say I am 99% happy with this place.  Does anyone else have good things to say about this company, I would love to hear them!!!

Hope everyone finds happiness in the land of MT.

I know it's hard to escape the negativity on the boards, but know that half of what you read is not true.  I have been with MDI-FL and now with Transcend for over ten years.  The core values have remained the same.  I love my work and I am treated with respect.  I think of my team more like a family.  We were all scared when MDI sold to Transcend, but it turned out to be the best thing.  I am not sure what would have happened to us with this downturn in the economy; I feel so much more secure being part of a larger company that has the financial backing to withstand the storm.  I have never worried about my paycheck, unlike many other people on this board where they sometimes do not get paid or their check bounces.

I have tried not to post when I have seen all the negativity, as sometimes it just breeds more negativity - but really, give the MDI/Transcend merger a chance.. you may find that they are not like other companites and they really do mean what they say.  I can speak for my experiences and the experiences of the long term employees that I know.   E-mail me if you wish.  Keep your chins up, it will be fine.

I’ve been sitting here in my little corner of Missouri wondering if I could diplomatically address any of your concerns.  At first I was compelled to simply set the record straight and now I’m just compelled to show my support not only for my country…but also my company!  That’s right…bold statement, huh?!  No, I’m not a SUIT, (and BTW neither is Stephanie Campbell) but a humble MLS who was promoted to a TL (Team Leader) and now again to a QAS within MY company.  You see, Transcend loves their MLS and treats them with the respect and the recognition they deserve.  If you want to excel in this industry, Transcend is the only company you should be looking at.  Oh, and by the way, I had the opportunity to travel to Atlanta and meet some of the SUITS of the company and they’re just like me…patriotic, family-loving, hard-working everyday human beings.  AND they care about my opinion; what works for my region and why other things don’t!

I worked for a large hospital facility in Nebraska before coming to Transcend and loved it dearly, but honestly technology-wise I didn’t realize how far behind they were.  Since being with Transcend I’ve had the opportunity to see firsthand how they continually upgrade, enhance and automate processes for their MLS; always trying to make things easier and time efficient for their employees.  Who wouldn’t want to be on the leading edge of technology in our industry?

As for sending work overseas…. Transcend does in fact outsource on occasion a very small percentage of it’s volume, but only when there are gaps in turnaround time coverage and ONLY when the customer approves it.  If there are American MLS willing and able to take some of that work from overseas workers, we are more than happy to provide it to them.  That’s why we need your help to keep this company going strong as an AMERICAN company.  Every single day I’m thankful for my job with Transcend and have grown to love the tight-knit family I work with.  Each day we talk and keep each other inspired!  We cover for each other in time of crisis and give each other a pep talk when we need it.  I can confidently say that my life has changed for the better since I came on board.  I really do love it.  Transcend is where it’s at if you want to work at home.

Me in my little corner of Missouri will get off my soap box and let you ponder this:  Perhaps if a small town girl from Missouri can make a CAREER with Transcend maybe you can too?!  The possibilities with Transcend are out there, attainable….you just have to reach for it!

We were always behind, it seemed, and always asked to type more, more, more.  I'm not defending OSi, but this was in later part of 2006.  Wonder what has changed?  I can't believe, if this is the MK account, that they would send charts overseas.  They were so !#$# picky (MK) that I got put on probation for some really, really tiny errors.  Took me for a whirl and hurt my feelings, big time.

I had to quit just from mere principle.  Harsh, very harsh!  I can't imagine, from the quality I understand comes from India, that they would get away with making any errors whatsoever.  Neither here nor there now, I'm just amazed at how fast things changed.

is now going to India.  I wonder how many accounts that CBAY will have this time next year. 

A company that I used to work for offshored work to India.  First it was just overflow because they couldn't stay in TAT, but then company saw how much they could save and sent more work to India.  The problem is they weren't QAing the work and was of such poor quality that the lost the account, which ultimately cost them their business. 

I will admit when I first started with Amphion, I HATED it! However, I was there for 4 months and only left because I was offered better pay somewhere else, also I was really running out of work bad on my primary account, I assume from overhiring. 

It is true about the mandatory OT, but I liked the money, so I did do some.  When I didn't do the OT, I was not reprimanded.  I attempted to quite because of the QA person on my accounts was really condescending and I just couldn't take it anymore.  I was talked into staying by the supervisor I had and I was even offered (later) a QA position there, but didn't take it.  My supervisor there was fantastic and wonderful.  I know they have other supervisors, but I couldn't tell you how they are/were. 

I fell upon hardtimes close to Christmas and was having to move back to my mother's to take care of her house, my husband lost his job, and after explaining my situation to my supervisor, they sent me a 300.00 dollar check to help me with getting the lights turned on at my mom's house.  I was informed I did not have to pay that back, but under the condition that I help someone else in need.  I did feel appreciated at Amphion, but as I stated, I needed higher pay and I needed affordable insurance.  With my account running so low with work, I just couldn't do those things, and it really made me sad that I had to leave. 

Yes, they are very picky about quality and really some of it was so minute that it was ridiculous.  However, if something ever happened with the company I am at now, I would go back.  Under the condition I was with the same supervisor. 

Anyway, I wish you the very best of luck with finding the company of your dreams.  I am now with Axolotl and like it very, very much.  Of course, there are a few bumps just about anywhere you go, but I enjoy my job. 

Good luck and take care

MT Chat?  How do I find that?  Thanks

the other poster hit the nail on the head about the insulting gifts sent for transcription week, and don't get me wrong, I don't expect anything as far as "gifts" from my employer, because they are not obligated to it, but give me a break,  "I'm still trying to figure out what my gift is, either a mini mouse pad, the size of a coaster, or is it a coaster."  They really showed me how much they thought of me when I received that gift.

Just as you have never understood why people would come here and talk about their problems with Transcend, I simply cannot understand why the posts bother you SO much.  You like working there, we get it. Others don't.  Why is your voice any more important than ours?  How fair is it that you think you can stop every single post where people have had problems just because YOU don't want to hear them?  Obviously from the outworking of events yesterday, what I said on the Forum was true.  You guys wanted details all along, so you got them.  None of it was refuted by the company, instead it simply "vanished." When I had said that my emails were burning up with people writing me with words of support and thanks, you should have seen it AFTER they removed the post.  There were just as many people appalled by that as there were the content of my post.  You may think I'm in the minority, but you would be wrong. As wrong as you were about CW all along.

All editing is a joke if you don't have time to make sure the chart goes back right.  Now I guess the pay will reflect that (it's a joke) for all types of editing.  I agree it's not nice to force people to take those chances with others' medical records in order to even attempt a decent salary for their own families; it's also a bad, bad thing when a company can tell you how much they value your commitment to quality one day and then decide to slash your wages for it.  It's all a bad, bad joke, and (some, not all) of Medware turned out to be just another bunch of two-faced comedians. 

[Maybe you can try Cymed out of Ohio?  I know they hire editors there at an hourly wage (not sure what that is) and they seemed pretty nice; I turned them down out of loyalty to Medquist -uh- Freudian slip- misguided loyalty to Medware-LOL.] 

Okay, I think now it's finally off my chest.
