you obviously didn't read my entire response
or can't understand me.
The post didn't come from CW or me
She hasn't come here since she started working on her own blogging site. 
No, I didn't get that out of the post.
You better watch rolling those eyes or they're liable to pop outta your head and roll across the floor.
Hey, I didn't post this!
I think I've just been a victim of identify theft!

I sure didn't post this either

I really didn't post this either

Didn't the post say I need more than 1,200 a day!!??

It does not say that is all I could type in a day, now does it?  It says that is the minimum required by companies.  However, on so many days you have to fight to get that much, and it may take you 10 or more hours to do it.  No, not because I type that slow but because the work is not there!!  Geeze.


Didn't post here...
the message was moved here. Sorry if that offended you. Not my action.
Sorry, didn't mean to place my post here.

Sorry, C-smg, I didn't see your post. GMTA. nm

I see that my post was removed - i didn't say anything bad

but it was removed.  Glad I got the chance to vent and that 11 people got to read it.


 


Didn't they post the same job four times

I would think that only one recruiter/owner would need to post for a transcriptionist, not four.  The one was titled Police Reports, but then on the inside it was medical transcription clinic work.  I'm not so sure about that one.  


I didn't say that post was slanderous
Read it again, and no....I don't watch garbage TV, I guess that's why I'm so naive.
Didn't you ever think recruiters post these..

I see you didn't listen to my last post sm
TT MANAGEMENT DOES NOT GET PAID HOLIDAYS. They are SALARIED. That means NO EXTRA for overtime, NO COMP DAYS either. They work when they are told. I can't be told to work on my days off, but management CAN and they frequently DO work on their so-called time off. Given that I make more than many people in management at TT, I will not begrudge them taking off Christmas or New Year's or whatever pittance they get in the way of a holiday off. I know 3 people in management who worked yesterday, from home on their *paid holiday* so that those of us who were working had a go-to person. They have management around between 6 a.m. and midnight 7 days a week, 356-1/4 days a year, and tech support too. If this **** you off so much, GO FIND A JOB WITH A SALARY and get a grip! I have had a salaried job and guess what? Worked more hours in a year for less pay than I get on production. You just aren't bright enough to see the writing on the wall. How is it you MT when you can't read?
The rest of us get it! We know you didn't post the

sorry LTMT I didn't see you post before sm
I put mine about the pay for straight versus VR. Makes no sense to me either.
Sorry, that link didn't post right (sm)

I didn't mean for my post to come off as bashing
I hope you didn't take it that way. Just wanted to throw out a couple of suggestions if you still had the time to get back with the company and negotiate. Actually happy to hear someone has an MT job that they enjoy! :-)
I almost didn't read your post...
... because I thought you were someone asking what it's like to do radiology work at Transcend, and I don't.

But I'm glad I did click to read it, and I'm glad some more of the folks who are happy working at Transcend--and are still working the same accounts with virtually no changes (except good ones) YEARS after their own merger--are coming on board to tell their stories. My own merger (from TRS) was only 5 months ago, and just about all I hear is 'just wait, they'll give your good account to somebody else, they'll move you to something lousy with no work available, they'll make you do speech-wreck, whether you want to or not, and you'll soon be singing a different tune,' that sort of thing.

But beware... you say anything good about Transcend on this board, and you'll soon be labeled a 'suit.'

I am not a suit. I am a pajama. And hey... I could only WISH they'd pay me for all this free positive PR I'm doing..... :)

Yes, so that those who didn't see the post on the Company board may see it on the
Main board.  What's wrong with that?  Isn't that ok to do? 
Older post says they didn't pay for spaces. nm

Sorry for the double post - I thought it didn't *take*
nm
Wow, I didn't know the owner would get on here under different names and post
I guess that explains it all.  My experience wasn't the best and I know I'm not alone.  No wander there are lots of positives, had no idea the owner did that.
Never mind- I'm blind, didn't see the post below.
.
I asked this the other day on another post - didn't get an answer
xx
See last post; I didn't explain hours correctly

I didn't see that in her post at all. In fact I wrote something similar...please sm
I believe what she meant was similar to what I wrote which was that I felt a majority of the nasty posts probably came from isolated people that take crap all day. These types normally get walked on because they aren't outspoken enough in real life to say what they feel. Then they anonymously come here (or other boards)to take out their pinned up frustrations. It's merely an opinion and you know what they say about those.:)

The reason I believe this to be true is because I've encountered way more nasty people on-line than in real life. If some of the posters said the same nasty remarks to a person's face that they do hiding behind a screen name, #1) They'd get fired. #2) They'd have NO friends.
#3) They'd lose a few teeth.

Think about it.
The clickable link in post below didn't work for me...
Trying to help. See link below:
Didn't you post this on 03/04/06 on both the Company Board and the Hospital/Clinic MT Board?

I think it is the entire company.
Starts at the top. I am truly amazed they are still in business.
IMO, I think the ENTIRE MT INDUSTRYhas become

Yes they did. However, should expect it, since entire co is

well it's kind of taken over the entire

how about listening to an entire conversation -
either on the telephone or to someone else in the room, you have to listen to make sure he doesn't remember to start back on his note.  I even heard a conversation about myself when I was in a hospital setting. They haven't a clue what is recording.
You need to read the entire thread
then you would know that I only drew the difference in what I made and what my weekly unemployment amount was - and applied for other jobs - offered a lot of IC work, but I already had that.
For the entire 8 weeks you've been there?!

Speaking strictly for weekends, she's probably not working, and has forwarded her calls to the help desk, where they could put you in touch with the weekend supervisors, if need be.  But I truly doubt she's ignored you the whole time you've worked there.  She's simply not like that.  She has answered every email I've ever sent her, and always answers her phone during her normal weekday.  My supe has an usual name that starts with D, same as yours, right?


I still have never run out of work the entire 1.5 yrs I have worked sm
there (with the exception of the holidays), and every single time I have asked to be put on another (additional) account, they have happily done so.
You don't have to read the entire board there
certain company.  There's no reason for you to be rude, she or he is just trying to help!  I'm one of those MTs that is fed up with the B.S. being fed to us by these we strictly hire U.S. MTs only companies.

Doesn't scare me. Most of the entire MT
The ones who should be worried are the ones who've been screwing MTs for the past decade or so.
Of course its my career - has been my entire life
That's what makes no sense about this rant above me. She recounts 30 years of her life as an MT and how horrible its been, all the failings, and how it has ruined her life since nearly day #1.  Per her own words, she blames everything, from her blood pressure to her endometriosis, blames her divorce, missing out on her son, blames everything on MTing, yet she has done it for 30 years and now is back at it again.  She claims over and over to have failed at literally every aspect in her life she felt worth mentioning, blaming it all on MTing, yet here she is an MT. What part of that makes sense to you? We're to feel sorry for her??  I've been in this business 30 years and have been a success. I've had a zillion trials and hardships and battles, but my career is a success, or I would have gotten the heck out of it when it became a disaster. If that doesn't make sense to you, which obviously it doesn't, then there is no reason or sanity with which you can be approached.  Substitute MTing for any career - if you are failing at it, and you've lost everything in life due to that career, why are you still doing it?  That's a big question, because the blame is not on the career, its on the person.  Nobody else to blame but yourself. Period.
In a nutshell, that's what's wrong with our entire
economy! 'Way too many chiefs, and not enough Indians'. ('Native-Americans', I guess I should say, NOT the eastern variety!)

Too many people in management, and not enough people who actually do the work. Just like AIG, which is currently paying bonuses to its less-than-useless CEOs for doing absolutely NOTHING, you know the MT companies are giving raises and bonuses to the managers, recruiters, executives, etc., all the while trying to justify offering the MTs that actually produce the finished product in the service that they sell, lower and lower wages, which are not only ridiculous, they're no longer enough to live on.

The hospital I used to work at was the same - it was all about their image, and the fluff, and they achieved that fluff by grinding their workers into the dirt.
You misread. The entire MT industry is a
out of hundreds of thousands. Most people that get hired for job get put to work as soon as possible. The MT industry 'hires' people, then twiddles around with them for weeks. The MT is always the very last one in the pecking order, even though they are the ones who actually do the work that the MTSO gets paid for.
I had not worked the entire hour.....
I said I had made for a half hour 17, actually it was 17.84 - that was a total of 446 lines, count it yourself. That was NOT a full HOUR. Guess not smarmy after all, hehe
Yes, please read the entire thread
Several of us have directly emailed our liaisons and D, and have had absolutely no response.

Considering the fact more than one account has been without any appreciable work for over a month, I don't believe the speculation is all that 'wild.'
It's like an entire industry run by a bunch of
With a little luck, and some back-at-ya kharma thrown in for good measure, maybe one day some of the MTSO CEOs will be Bernie's new 'neighbors'.
Yes, exactly!!! The entire profession will wind up being "dumbed-down"

to where anyone with a keyboard and software can do it.  It used to be that medical transcriptionists were required to have a great deal of knowledge to transcribe medical documents.  If they are reduced to being custodians, cleaning up the punctuation and doing odds and ends because the VR program already knows how to interpret the "big words," then anyone would be able to do this job, anyone.........anywhere in the WORLD!!!!!! 


Tell me, how many American MTs/editors are going to be left once we "fix" the broken machine that is replacing us all?


You make a WHOLE LOTTA SENSE, and it's becoming clearer and clearer that employment with smaller "mom and pop" companies who still believe in quality is the way to go. 


I know the entire staff there and they are all wonderful. If what you say happened sm
there is more to the story. I know you don't just get locked out of work for a medical emergency. The person in charge there would not do that. She is one of the nicest people around so it is my guess there is another side to the story.

To anyone thinking about working for TH, they are a wonderful company. If you want a fair company that has a good QA staff and nice supervisors, pays on time with their direct deposit, has good benefits, you certainly could not go wrong trying them.
That was my question the entire year I worked
for them. There will never be enough work and they will keep overhiring. Not sure why
