Has anyone been able to listen to the announcement on the Community Page? I can't get it to open. Good news or bad?

go to the community page sm
to the part that says request help, click on that, fill out the information and select out of work and submit it. They will find you some other work.
Community page sm
Community Page, Human Resource tab at the top, then it is a link on the left.
WMX'ers, can you access the Community Page? sm
It will not let me access it, although it did last night. I just wanted to check with y'all before contacting someone at the company. Thanks!
Did you notice on our community page new hires May/June - I think there were 19 or 20 of them. (sm)
Nothing against the new hires, but from our point of view it stinks to hire new people while many of us are/were scrapping for work.
Negative posts about Webmedx down a few on this page. nm

Not EXACTLY what the announcement said...
The internal announcement didn't mention anyone stepping down or handing over control - just someone else receiving a promotion.
No. There has been announcement of the new plan yet....
and we have not been able to even verify the few random reports on here of ASR 20% reduction...whether they are for a specific office, etc.
Please, stop trying to scare people with the implication that you know something, that there IS a pay cut, etc.
Correction: Above should be "...NO announcement..." NM

Has it always been that way or just since the announcement about merging with Transcend?
I was previously with a company that merged with Transcend. That seemed to be the pattern there, at least on my accounts.
I went from about about 1 in 5 reports being somewhat difficult to only having very difficult dictators...... and by diffcicult I mean almost impossible.
In retrospect, I think what may have happened is the easy ones were outsourced.
Just wondering if that seems to be the pattern here.
Such support! What a community of MTs.
I have been in this business for 20+ years and wasn't confident in answering, as I'm not really sure myself. Feel good insulting people? Have a nice day.
It shows they know the MT community is onto
less-than-ethical business and employment practices. They want to shut you and all of us up so that we'll go back to our bedrooms and our pink fuzzy slippers, and just keep quietly getting screwed by them. It word were to get out, (say on Oprah perhaps?) they'll all have a LOT of 'splainin' to do. I for one would enjoy watching them all squirm.
The announcement is coming out tomorrow. I heard that they are going to sm
be paying a substantial amount of employee coverage. I was told the 13th by another MT but checked with my lead, and she said the announcement will be out either the 17th or 18th.
that's exactly what i am talking about, you are an embarASSment to the MT community

I graduated from a community college, but
my first job was not at a National. I got a job at a hospital first, then after two years was hired by MQ. If you can get experience, I think it's easier to get on with Nationals. It is probably possible without experience, though. I would just give it a try.
There is an announcement coming out on the 13th that will make the insurance sm
more affordable for everyone AND Keystrokes will be contributing a large portion of the premium.
August 2008 we were sold to CBAY after the announcement in May.
Check it out. As for me, I'm still here, still loving it, doing great, always get my account, making 10 cpl. I'll stay until I get fired.
Yes. Last entry on community board. ALL Web work is overflow.
I am fairly sure all their accounts still have in-house transcription departments. All mine do. The Atlanta account you mentioned started the same time as my main and always has more work than my hospital, which is an account that has almost completely dried up over the last year. STM states they are saving work for their in-house MTs.
Not at all. Worked for the NJ company. Used to pay by the page or partial page. Don't know about

Some comments on page 2 of this board, middle of the page. nm

there is a thread further down this page or possibly the next page
I transcribed for Compuscribe years ago. Had no problems, just low pay but no problems.
Go to the bottom of the page and click on a page
number to get the most recent archives and then can do Ctrl F and do a search for WebMedX. I wouldn't call them a small national.
Page 2, scroll down towards the middle of the page, NM

What is Webmedx FL? Webmedx itself is located in Pittsburgh & Atlanta. nm
.
Webmedx ad apply at Webmedx or Transhealth ? (sm)
Apply to one address if you need equipment, another if you want to use your own? Does this mean they are still acting as 2 separate companies? Can anyone explain this?
I don't see that on their web page
nm
Take a look at the next page (sm)
Maybe the people aren't still there, but they're experiences weren't good. Companies don't change that radically. If there are problems like that, it's because of major philosophical problems in the company. If after reading those posts you'd still want to pursue testing with them, well, all I can say is good luck. I'm sure we'll be hearing from you later.
Pay by the page
Is this good or bad? Does anyone have any experience with this type of pay?
Pay by the page
Thank you. It's $2.50 per pay page on a sliding scale. I do not really understand it and that's why I do not really know what questions to ask. Thanks for the input.
per page
To me it there are too many variables to quote a per page rate, font size, margins, etc. You can have anywhere from 50 to 66 lines for full page depending on margins and font, so at .012 per line, that is quite a difference. Also what do you do for 20 or 30 lines, as they could both be half a page? That is just my opinion though. Could work in your favor and could not. If they use a small Arial 10 font, takes a lot more lines to fill up a page than Courier 12.
I Get $2.75 per page
I type for an insurance company doing claim tapes and I charge by the page. It works out well for me. I type in Tahoma 10. Even if a page is just one line long I get paid the full rate.
i see it a little further down on this page

Pay by the page
How on earth do you charge by the page? I have never been paid by the page but only by the line. Luckily, I found the job through the local paper and they will let me work from home (only 5 minutes away). There is a big psychiatric hospital down there street. Thanks for all of your help. I about gave up on transcription.
Pay by the page
I meant there is a big psychiatric hospital down the street from where I live and they usually charge by the page, but I have never charged by the page, but only by the line. Any suggestions?
by the page
The margins per page are 3 inch on the top and 3 inch left margin. Does that make a difference do you think?
Look down the page a little.....
Keystrokes is really popular right now. 
you are all over this page
with negative comments about a lot of companies. Probably not a very good idea to let this recruiter know who you are by e-mailing straight from this site. Just a helpful hint.
pay by page
Does anyone work for a transcription company that pays by the page instead of cents per line? If so, could you please email me. Thanks.
Yep and now it's a whole page +2.

On what page are they? If they are there, I will
x
Further down this page, 1/3 way?, you
will find a message from the recruiter, Carlotta Buckley, with that signature.
I, along with others, have elabored myself on MDI, which is probably on next page now.
It is a great company that will do everything they can to take care of the MT. They have a positive QA team, etc. Personally i think they are the best company around.
Same page
I only wish more people would get on the page with us. I fail to see how some people can stick their head so far in the sand.
No I'm not QA and I think we are on the same page. sm
My original post was in regards to Bayou MT's comment that we are not paid to look up doctor's names, unfamiliar names, terminology, etc.
P.S. I've run into the same QA types. The absolute worse was one from YOG. She actually called me on the phone and put me down.
at the top of the page --sm
there is a Google search bar. just beneath that are two buttons, . web and . MT stars. make sure the button by mt stars is checked and then type in the name of the company in question and click the search button beside it. that should bring up new and old postings about the company.
$1.00 a page?
You MUST be kidding! What an insult!
$1.00 per page
Yes, I thought it was very low, too. And she pointed out that you make the $1.00 page if you are very good. I thought that was hilarious. It was like she meant to convey that only the very top transcriptionists could ever hope to attain that job with such an exhorbitant amount of money as $1.00 per page! I had to hang up quickly before I laughed out loud! No hard feelings with them, though, and I wasn't all that insulted. I wish them well. They just don't have clue about how to hire quality transcriptionists and pay them well. Of course, that problem is a common one in this industry, but they just seem to have even less of a clue than most companies about paying us properly for quality work.

look down the page
look down the page, much ado about something....

There's no such thing on the web page
