now I know you weren't talking to ME right?

I posted below that we weren't talking about
Ascend, but that Ascend is well known for not paying on time. I don't know that they never paid, just not on time. All the information should be in the Archives.
Didn't get your email - Unless you weren't talking to me.
In that case, nevermind :)
If you weren't talking to giddy pc guru
posted your response in reply to him/her.
However, if your comment of Give her a break was directed towards giddy pc guru, I have to agree with giddy pc guru's response to you. It's very difficult to tell sometimes when someone is being flip and when they're being sincere.
Please help promote a kinder world. 
Hey, weren't y'all talking about forming a union? What happened to that notion? nm

You weren't there, you don't know..

Then you weren't there for the last pay period which should be DD on the 5th and was not done unt

And like I said, if you weren't typing SM
the stuff, they'd have nothing to come back to you with. And how did they get angry with you anyway? Did you respond to their feedback with negativity and not take responsibility for knowing your account or the basics of transcription?
From knowing many people with your type of attitude over the years, 9 times out of 10 they are people who have the same problems at every job, don't take feedback well, think they are right all of the time and just generally cause problems. Instead of taking responsibility for your part in doing a job, you lay blame on your supervisors, other employees, etc.
They weren't even bad. I don't know why they were deleted sm
unless the name-calling started again. That is the only reason they are deleted. I wish they would've stayed as there was a lot of information from both the company and others and none of it really ugly unless someone blew it as usual.
They weren't very structured when I was there. SM
They pay okay, around 10 cents a line, but no benefits, no taxes taken out, no direct deposit, so that brings it down to about 6 cents a line. If you want your check overnighted, you pay about $25 or $30 for that. Otherwise it gets mailed and take a chance on when you get it. Even having it overnighted does not always work. I had three or four instances when my check was lost, twice for weeks at a time. I'll stick with the more MT friendly companies who manage to pay 9 and 10 cents a line and still give full benefits and direct deposit. I don't mind working a weekend day now and then.
Heard they weren't less than 8 cpl.
Oh, I'm sure they weren't! But what I meant was, (sm)
not that we be contacted before the sale, but after. We sure haven't been getting any reassurance, here.
There weren't a lot of us left (sm)
I think there were a couple of accounts and we were waiting on some bids to come through but capital-wise apparently they could not keep operating waiting on potential accounts so decision was made to close.
I think we all knew it was potentially coming, just surprised that it happened so quickly. I have no hard feelings, but am nervous about finding new work as I have little experience looking for a job!
weren't they saying last year during
transcriptionists? It was part of some contest or something. Maybe that was a few years ago.
postings about them is that they weren't getting paid. nt
They weren't rude with me, but a little disorganized and
not looking out for my best interests, but the interests of their client, which I guess is the way it should be since the client is paying for their services. As far as I know there are 2 women that run this company, I have not talked with the owner and maybe she was the one rude, but the woman I dealt with was not rude, just a little dingy and maybe not 100% truthful about the company that she was recommending. All TM did though was screen me and then I still had to go through the testing/interview process with the company. I had had contact with the referred company previously and had even been offered a position with them, which I turned down. The pay rate offered to me by TM and the pay rate offered to me by the company were the same. I declined referral to the company, being that I had already declined an offer from them and I never heard from TM again.
This is the price of doing business. If there weren't
something in it for you, you wouldn't be doing it - whether it be money, ego, prestinge, etc.
I was hoping they weren't liars. sm
What a concept eh to think companies actually tell the truth once in a while. I was hoping they would make good on their promise. I have spent a lot of time making templates and such and did not want to start all over again. OK, I get it now. I told them I would not do anymore work until they sorted this out but I am looking elsewhere. Thanks for the input.
If you weren't looking for the job why'd you read it and post?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Don't come back saying you weren't warned!
Why bother to ask for feedback if you ignore it?
Makes me wish I weren't menopausal!
LOL
I could go along with that if it weren't for the "cheesy" part

Gosh, maybe. They honestly weren't bad.
I have transcribed much, MUCH worse ESL than what was sampled on their test. When they asked me what percentage of ESL I had transcribed for in an average work day, I told them 20% or less and that's when they said that their work involved 80% ESL. But man, that 20% that I got at my former job was some of the worst on the planet, I swear!
But weren't there payment issues??
x
MDI-MD? Weren't they bought by Transcend?

They weren't losing those accounts.
They weren't losing those wonderful accounts, they were being sent to the Philippines to their transcription center there.
You weren't even getting paid enough in 1989.
I was making 5.5 to 6 cpl in 1976. It was a good wage back then, but I don't know how anyone with half a brain thinks MTs will make ends meet with that amount in 2009, or will continue to work for companies that pay that chickenfeed, or even consider hiring on with them, when you can make much more money flipping burgers.

I wish you would respond....I do.
But if it is only me, well that definitely won't do any good. We all have to stick together and let them know that it is an insult to be treated like non-*professionals*. If more people let them know they'd at least be forced to think about it instead of deleting a lonely email from one angry MT. I am beginning to think they continue to take away from us because most MTs can't be bothered and and/or will take it. ;)
Not only do they not respond....
but then every couple of months they are advertising again. Do you think it is a vanity thing, or they are trying to create a reputation for being busier than they are? I don't understand why a business would waste time unnecessarily in this process, unless of course they are disorganized and discourteous, in which case they have a lot of turnover, which no business wants.
May I respond to that?
Yes, you do get binders, and yes mine contain way more samples than I probably need; however, the necessary info boils down to just a few pages for doctor lists and account specifics. And the crap the previous poster so delicately refers to is patient demographic information. Speaking for my account, my morning routine consists of turning on my computer, setting my demographic update to run, get coffee ready, feed the dog and cat, and by the time that's done my update is usually done or has just another couple minutes. No big deal really. That's on the DOS account by the way.
Can you respond here?
I guess they deleted my post on the main board because it eluded to a job wanted request. So, I had to repost it here instead. If you wouldn't mind responding here, I would greatly appreciate it!
I'm not the OP but I have to respond
*WE ARE IN A DEPRESSION RIGHT NOW...MY ADVICE IS TO TAKE ANYTHING YOU CAN GET RIGHT NOW. IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU ARE LOCKED INTO IT FOR LIFE, BUT WE CAN'T BE TOO PICKY LIKE WE WERE BEFORE.*
I'm not the OP, but THANK YOU for pointing this out. I see so many negative posts on here (humorously referred to as *haterade* in another thread) that I sat and nodded my head in agreement with your post.
While some places fall far short of paradise, if the pay is even halfway decent and on time, this is not the time to turn one's nose up at a less-than-ideal offer.
To had to respond:
I do NOT find your reply rude or condescending. I only wish I could shrug and deal with it as you apparently have. Sure, I will give VR a try with it comes to my accounts. I am just dreading it because VR offers none of the things that I enjoy about transcription. I do not think the humor potential is going to outweigh what I will be losing.
It's not change, per se, that I resist because I certainly have had a lot of that over the years. I've had to learn 7 or 8 transcription platforms (one loses count) with the loss in production that always means. Three of these software changes were within the same company as some *suit* who did not transcribe decided to try out something new. I have adjusted my schedule every which way to be accommodating. I put in extra hours often, to help with TAT. I'm not a total what's-in-it-for-me whiner. But this is the change that just might do me in, because someone wants to cut my pay, capitalize on my knowledge and experience for less money, and call it progress. Seriously, other than the chance to keep working, what IS in it for me?
One reason I have resisted offers to go into QA is that I enjoy the actual transcription so much. Never have tried QA, I just do not feel I would enjoy finding and correcting the errors of others. Not my thing. I think VR would be so much worse.
I agree that MDI is a great company and I am glad to have found them after a few (okay, many) real loser companies. They have resisted offshore outsourcing and VR for a long time. I am just sorry they have had to cave to the prevailing trend on VR. Their client base expects high-quality work and I am hoping we can still give it to them with this transition. But if a lot of us *seasoned* MTs choose to bail out, that may not happen.
Did you respond to an ad?
Did they post a job opening somewhere recent that you were applying to?
They weren't related at all. Her sister-in-law is my lead and is
wonderful. This person was a transcriptionist who took over HR. No one liked her and we thought she must be related to Lee, but she wasn't.
Are you sure those posts weren't by people who had applied
and couldn't hack a little competition?

I left 6 months ago, but they weren't paying OT then, but
I worked plenty OT.
You sound disgruntled; no wonder you weren't promoted from within... sm
sounds like sour grapes. Since when does top management share the internal workings and all the goings on with employees?
They told me last week they weren't hiring
true or false? This was e-mail from Carlotta.
ginny please respond
ginny, could you please give me your email so i can visit with you more?
What I don't understand is why anyone would respond to
a post that did not include the name of the company. I certainly would not. If they cannot be up front with who they are, they have something to hide.
i got the same email and did not respond (nm)
