Hope it is not a BAD account...nm
nnnxxx
Did they offer you another account or just hope you all
xx
I hope I don't get that account you're talking about either.
I am a little scared now.
Sorry to hear that because that was a good account with great normals. Hope
you find a new home where you will be appreciated and with good line counts!
Then when we MT's are **thrown on** an account because of lack of work on our account
What is so hard to understand about that?
Then we have that account info filed away in a folder in our Outlook Express by name of account and can look at past emails sent out regarding that account. Not fun to be tossed on an account that you have never seen NOR ever received an email on. Sounds like business to me.
My account has lots of work..ask for another account/nm

I hope you have more work than most have been seeing lately.
hope you don't need a lot of work
I was there 2 weeks and had only 11 reports, AND they refused to pay the training bonus. They said they could not release me to other accounts until I had completed so many reports for my primary, but there were none to do, so no backup.
Hope it's where I work!!

I dont work for MDI-FL but I would certainly hope
that the rude poster below does not work for them. I would not want to work with people that rude. The original poster just asked a question, isnt that what these forums are for???
I hope it continues to work out for you.
I sincerely hope it continues to work out for you if you are truly a new Editor and not either of the 2 lead people posing as a happy employee. I have nothing nice to say about Shapin. I am one of the disgruntled ex-employees that never even said anything about them on this site! BUT.. I was certainly smeared around here and the most horrifying thing was it wasn't even true. I never even came into this forum until I was contacted by another QA they also did a number on. I kept quiet as I feel it is better to take the high road. Since I was enlightened I have visited this site frequently and have seen how many negative remarks there are about them. I have also visited some others and they were pretty bad also. I am not trying to stir the pot, but there are two sides to every story. The bigmouth is usually spewing there bull edition. Good luck to you with them.
OMG, I hope not. You work over 50 hrs a week
for 36,500? Sounds like a very big national I know. lol. BTDT and I quit real fast. Glad you are happy, I guess that's all that matters, but you're being taken advantage of IMO. And 2 weeks vacation is not that great either.
hope you dont run out of work-- nm

Hope you like to work on Christmas
You have to work holidays and weekends.
Hope you like to work Christmas
and Thanksgiving
ALSO my pay was usually wrong and never in my favor.
I sure hope so! I'd never want to work for someone who chewed me out.
and I am sorry if indeed the above poster did get chewed out. Mutual respect and customer service goes from supervisor and employee just as employee is to respect supervisor. Chewed out, sounds like a parent to a child, and even then criticism should be dealt with carefully.
Oh I sure hope not - no work for weeks
nm
hope your spelling and grammar on work are better than this.

I hope it gets better! Can't afford to sit here much longer with no work. nm
nm
thx, hope the foot pedal will work oh boy nm

Lets just hope they are not overhiring lately and we will find we are all going to be out of work
especially after Summer.
Well, I HOPE they're a good place to work...
... since I worked for TRS and thus got acquired by Transcend when TRS did.
Interestingly... when I was job-hunting about 7 months ago, I basically read every entry in the MT Companies section of another forum (M T Chat)looking for companies that got good reviews. Because it got very good reviews there, Transcend was the second-to-last company I applied to, just before TRS. At that time, Transcend was only testing for acute care (my 36 years of clinical in multiple specialties wasn't good enough, I guess) so they told me no thanks. And now they've got me anyway.
I am still reserving judgment because the merger only happened 2 weeks ago; and I am still working on my same accounts, under the same supervisors, on the same platform, so there have been no visible changes as yet....
Sincerely, I do hope you're prepared to work for 8 cpl now
Apparently MDI was one of the companies that paid their experienced MTs pretty well.
With the merge, you'll be making less eventually. If you quit and look for a new job, you'll be making less, way less, than you were making at MDI.
I'm another one who's BTDT, too. I went from making 11 cpl to now making 8 cpl. I tried HARD to find any company, obscure to well known, that will start off more than that. Couldn't find 'em. Probably won't ever go up, either.
Just sayin' that you should be prepared to budget your living costs for the amount of money you'll be missing each month compared to what you were making at MDI. It's awful, I know, been through it. Going to school now to do something else, getting out.
You are fortunate. I hope you always have work and it stays that way and doesnt change.
:
Good luck to you. Hope they are lenient with the benefits with all the low work. nm
.
There's plenty of work. Hope you like working every weekend and holiday. nm

I am glad to hear that a lot of money can be made with MT work. This gives me hope for the future.

I hope the not meeting line count was due to being on your part and not due to lack of work or I'
be ticked off. I can see if someone just didnt do their line count for whatever personal reasons but I have heard of people saying they couldnt do their line counts due to lack of work. That would stink if it was through no fault of their own that they were punished.
Hope Transtech is NOT still hiring, because we are all fighting for work right now OVERHIRE big time
Be careful right now, because TT has much overhired, promising something big coming up, but nothing seen by the MT's yet, just LOW WORK load.
I did to. Work late shift and did not check msg in time. Hope to get recap
nm
Maybe is it for a particular account. I work M-F. You are required to work one weekend an month.
a
I used to work there and know people who still do...they have no work on clinic account but if you
are acute care or have experience in acute care you will be fine...
I work for them, have no problems with the account/work - sm
New insurance plan went into effect - I think it is really good, but that's just my opinion. They send you the equipment. They have incentive. I like it. Can't complain.
What account do you work?
/
Do you work on a VA account? nm
.
Could be the account too, I don't know how they work out their pay...
but maybe it could be based on whatever the account is willing to pay. Not sure!
What account do you work on? My
accounts are rarely out of work.
you must be on the same account I am on. Not enough work
Not making enough money for family.
Don't see how we can be out of work when new account
to protect them, but what about us MT's waiting for work. Interesting when I hit my 3-month anniversary with TransTech, my work disappeared. I am not sure what to think of TT at this time ... No matter how nice someone is -- supervisor, office staff, etc.), if there is no work, WORK is what pays my bills.
So do you work the ER account or
do you work their acute care accounts. He said that the pay is figured differently and that there is no 12-hour window with ER because of the require TAT.
I am just looking for a permanent home where I can stay, instead of signing on and then finding that the line requirement is impossible because there are so many residents, PAs, NPs, and ESLs who are not organized, so leave huge blank areas on the audio or they are constantly saying go back and change, go back and add, etc, that your production is shot. Get a great audio minute count, but they never seem to look at that.
I have a lot of work. I was going to say that maybe it was just your account, but your on 7?? WOW..
I would double check that something funky isnt going on with your work queue. Maybe, it's not opened up all the way you get different work types etc.
I don't work on that particular account but . . SM
right now work is slow on every account.
Wonder if you work on a different account? NM
sssssss
I work that account. It isn't all that bad. sm
I've had worse too.
Any KS on account out of work (sm)
Does that happen very often?
I work for MQ and have 1 ER account. I did
400 lines in one hour last night, straight transcribing, no speech recognition. Unfortunately, it's only an overflow account. When I do my regular 2 accounts, horrible, crappy teaching hospitals with idiot residents who rotate out every 3 months and are replaced with a new group of idiots, I only do about 175 lph. I love ER.
I work on there (if it is the same account). sm
I have been with KS a few years now and this is a great account IMO. Contact JW directly, as she is the lead, and she can help you. If not, call Becky at the office as she is over all the leads.
I'm looking for an account I used to work on.
Is it okay to ask about a specific account on this forum? A couple of years ago, I worked for a known transcription company who serviced an account that I really loved, but I understand that company no longer has the account. Now that I'm looking to get back into transcription, I would love to return to that account--but I don't know the transcription company who has the account at this time. I'm sure some of you must work on it, but is it okay to specifically name a particular hospital/clinic here? TIA.
I am on that account and you can work more than that. sm
Also, they raise your pay on there quickly!
There's no work on the account I'm on,
a backup twice and no answer twice. Luckily (or not) I don't have much of a life and can take 12 hours plus to get my lines in and end up making pretty good money.
Other than that, I'm satisfied working for them, although I've only been there 2 months. Is there a holiday differential? I don't recall hearing anything about that?
Hospital Account Work
Go to mtdaily.com and check on their jobs page. There are numerous. Diskriter has issues; be careful. Of course, all places of employment have those, but some you have to be very careful with. It is great to work at home, and there are some great employers. If you don't need benefits, I'd suggest working as an independent contractor as you can set your own hours. However, if you need more discipline and the benefits, working for a national company might be great for you. Good luck.
