Have done that. Information is old. Anyone care to give input? nm

Can you give us the name of the company and if it's clinic or acute care? Thx. nm

Was not impressed
I was offered a position with them but turned it down. I had 3 different people contact me from them. I had at first accepted the position and they told me the packet was mailed out that I would need before starting. I never did receive the packet and it all seemed very disorganized. I felt like if they couldn't even get the packet to me, what would happen with my check?
I was not impressed
The recruiter was strange. She didn't appear to know how to hold a phone interview. There were a lot of blank pauses in our conversation. Even though I have 20+ years of experience, she decided not to hire me because I made the mistake of telling her I was keeping a small part-time on the side transcription job I have had for 14 years. Also, the pay was not great. I would not recommend them.
Wow I'm impressed!
5.5 is really good for VR. Most companies only want to pay 3-4, although TT pays 4.5. Who do you work for? Just curious.
I am so impressed with your skills
not- you sound like you are the only 1 who does well on VR, making you faster and better than most so you say. Did you break your arm patting yourself on your back?
I am very impressed with the job posting for the
non-medical Transcriptionist on the job seeker's board. While the pay is very low, at least this person is up front in what they are looking for, seems to be honest and even offers to go that extra mile by allowing you to chat with one of their other ICs. Wish other MTSOs were this *transparent.*
I am so impressed. What a refreshing change. Thank you!
You're welcome. I'm truly impressed with this company sm
and I think you'd be very happy should you decide to take a position with them. It has been a long time since I have encountered such caring people as an employer.
And thanks for the compliment on my baby. Maltese doggies are cute too. (And no, this isn't the right board for such things but what the heck.)
Good luck! 
I've mentioned before that I was impressed
I made it partially through training and my Mom passed away; so I had to postpone. Once I went back a few weeks later, unfortunately, the schedule was not the same, but I do not hold that against Transcend. The recruiter was very understanding and they wanted to give me another chance, but it was due to the workflow. I would HIGHLY recommend Transcend. They are the only ones I have dealt with as far as nationals go that were very communicative and very, very understanding. There will always be bumps, but if you have the big tires the bumps don't hurt as much! HAHA! Anyway, nice people, nice place!
I am blown away and impressed at the responses from the MDI MTs. sm
I don't think Transcend was expecting all this anger. The company I was working for also was bought by Transcend and with the last two company purchases we basically believed the lies and comforting words and just went along. I have seen several managers leave after telling me it would get better. I am sure they are wondering what all this is since they did not get this kind of flack before you all. WAY TO GO!! I am so sorry you have to go through this though.
Wow! I'm impressed. You NEVER have to use reference material? Amazing!

Was going to work for them, but was NOT impressed with their lack of professionalism!!
x
I know who it is!!! And I can't say it, darn it!!!!
Thanks!!...Darn.. nm
Sure. To the suits but not to the MTs.

I liked the suits at first -
until I found out what monsters they were.
that's right, the Suits
I meant my company's top executives, who think we should be able to produce 60% more, and were probably told this by other Suits. I'm sure none of them have any transcription experience.
Darn! I'm sorry.
Hopefully they get it fixed soon so all of us can work. I actually got the audio, didn't do the DNS changes, though so maybe that's why. I have no idea. I so hate computers. LOL
No suits here....
... I don't even own a suit. Well, actually I do, but I've outgrown them, if you know what I mean.... But I'm just a minion and proud of it. I've been a manager and a supervisor. No thanks. The money was nice but it cost me too much.
I only post what I've been told by people I trust, and based on my own experience. And, as I always say, others' mileage may vary....
Yeah, I talked to them about a month ago and wasn't too impressed. sm
They told me pretty much the same thing, 2nd and 3rd shifts only. I said no thanks. Didn't sound like the kind of company I wanted to work for. They sounded an awful lot like MQ which sent chills down my spine.
Nope.. never heard a word, which is fine by me. I'm never impressed when they never even contact
you hear how rude and unprofessional they are. Normally, I would not give any credibility to hear-say but all of this has to make me wonder. No skin off my nose. I tested with other companies and got called back within 24 hours.. Now, that is how a company should handle it..
If your impressed by bad communication and erractic work flow then it's the place for you..
I know a lot of people who have been there longer than a few weeks that have a lot better insight on MDI-FL and it's not a great review. Yes, the people are nice but is about it.. Nice unfortunately does not pay the bills or stop you from being frustrated because no one answers your emails, well I should say, in a timely manner, and if it is a money-related question like raises etc.. FORGET IT.. you will NOT be getting an email back on that one but you do get one telling you that you need to train on another system, which requires a C-phone, and one in which you had no desire to be placed on, or you lose your benefits. When people sign up to do accounts that are internet-based, it is for a reason. C-phones are a pain in the you-know-what..and then you find out that the account you were hired for is dried up most days, then you are told that you need to do another account that requires the C-phone or you will lose benefits. Thanks but no thanks..getting old.. but truly best of luck to you in whatever you decide.
Darn, that would be perfect for me but sm
I can't do the move to Wisconsin thing with a husband, home, etc. I really could train at home strictly for the 3-6 months. And living west of Chicago, the daily drive would kill me.
I think most here would agree that going to the suits with any of our (sm)
problems ends up being useless. However, these boards are a good place to vent a little steam. If it weren't for a little venting once in a while, I reckon it'd be fairly easy for many of us to finally lose our cool, go Postal on our supes, and end up on the 6:00 news getting dragged off in handcuffs.
Darn, that is disappointing.
I was truly considering this company after my line count with Spheris has dropped steadily over the last year and this sounded like a great place to go. Is there anywhere anymore that treats MTs fairly?
I know, you're right darn it. Ugh. nm
n
And what a darn shame too, because if there
wasn't the MT no one else would have a job.
I believe it was actually a big meeting of suits,
ya know, the real thinkers and shakers, at some annual meeting or something. I know of one manager who had to slink back to the office - there were offices in those days - with his tail between his legs, as the word beat of the monkeys beat him back to the office. It was horrible. Happened probably a good 10 years ago, though, so its been their mentality for a long time.
It is a darn SHAME
WEBMEDX is a click. If you don't know someone personally and are not someone's friend personally, FORGET IT, they will trash you and think nothing of it...Great Job Today, On the streets tomorrow. They don't care who they hurt or who they Belittle. The QA mentoring is LAZY also.
Suits, I hope you know
how serious this is, and how profoundly you are impacting the lives of many hardworking MTs and their families. You are going to have a very unhappy workforce. Not a good thing.
sorry. Should be TRS's 'ad' - darn expander!

Hot darn it is in the Ahdi book.
The only time QA makes me pound my head is when they are correct and it can be seen in print.
Also, the new Nuance 7.5 VR is so smart. . .it remembers corrections you make. The whole page(s). Start planning. . .this one is top notch. . .better than the first. No more overtime. No more parttimers.
Drs probably dont know. Suits arrange and pay for

Webmedx SUITS, read this
We know you read the boards. During the call tomorrow when you tell everyone just how much pay is cut we want to hear how much you've cut your own pay.
You've told us how efficient and productive this ISR technology makes us. So as we're getting more efficient and productive, you must certainly be getting more efficient and productive. Therefore, we'll want you to tell us about your own pay cut on the phone call on September 22.
Also, we want an answer as to why we never get annual raises BEFORE this economy went to pot. What was your excuse then when you talked about how business was booming and you went and bought a transcription school? Why didn't you give your employees a raise?
You market yourself as the REMARKABLE leader in the industry, touting your status as hiring only domestic workers. Well, wouldn't it be remarkable to give your employees regular raises? What's remarkable about yet another company who pays MTs crap wages, doesn't regularly give raises, has low work volumes, and is cutting pay? That's pretty run-of-the-mill in my opinion.
Are you making what you made 10 years ago? No? Then why should we be making what me made 10 years ago? Remember, we're working for the REMARKABLE Webmedx. Do something remarkable to earn that adjective, please.
I received one also, and in now way will I sign the darn thing either.
I do believe they are worried about the line counting method and "conversion methods" they use to calculate your line count. For now, it is "hearsay", (don't know if I spelled that right), but may come to fruition in the future with proof and hard evidence.
That is all I know right now!
I meant voted (darn expander)
Check the Laws and lost suits
Anything you post on a public chatboard or in a chatroom can be used against you by your employer as reason for termination if they so desire, and you will lose in court if you try to sue them. Plenty of these suits lost since the Internet started.
I worked for a bad legal transcription firm for 3 wks - fired after I posted on a legal chatboard (along with tons of others) - within hrs of posting some stuff. Definitely was why - no doubt. I then began researching whether this is legal - and by god it is. I used an anon name and no email. This co later had all neg posts regarding his co removed from the site.
As to this chatboard - the co I just left had many, many posts removed because they did not like their content.
Fortunately most cos recognize the need of folks to vent and don't want to be bothered. But some of these smaller cos really monitor posts, and mgmt posts as if they were MTs in response to neg posts or just to toot their own horn.
Darn, wish mine would have shown up DD today. nm

The lying is unbelievable. If you work there, you darn well

The suits and facilities often control dictation, not

better than Lanier - darn short-cuts! NM

Darn my shortcut program. That is supposed to be "I" not HPI. nm

MQ good until Jan. 2006, when the devils in suits took over. nm
"Just get to your darn keyboards and work!!!!"
Oh my gosh, who are YOU to tell people to get back to their keyboards?!
::crackface::
Unbelievable!
I still cannot get over the fact that you said that. You may say that to your own children but you don't say something like that to an adult/s.
Where did you grow up? Heaven help us.
That's the attitude that keeps the suits rolling in cash.

$7/hour is pretty darn good, I was making
the MT inexperience, as the inexperienced is all they are able to hire. Seasoned MT's know better than to go there.
It's not law, but it's usual general policy to avoid law suits. nm
nm
good, let them do all the India work, and take all the hits for law suits...
I wish they would monopolize the India market and totally stick with that...
I also posted an article about this a few weeks back, even with pictures of the offices in India (lot nicer than here).
hope they put all their money into it and then when technology takes all our jobs, they will have nothing.
Medquist, hate it or not, has invested rather in the technology, thereby will be the leaders in that. if I worked there I would train and learn everything I could about working with that technology because that eventually, in my opinion, will drive even Indian MTs into unemployment.
Not to mention managers playing on the darn thing
