Why on earth would you call it annoying?!

I'd call it being tenacious and knowing exactly and getting exactly what you want. I'd go full on balls-to-the-wall! Are you a mouse or an MT?!
 (This is so not right, but it's the only warrior image I could find!)

That was annoying to me.
Too many emails, too many documents. Just leave me alone and let me do my job. I only need to know about QA feedback. The rest of it is a time stealer.
Other companies use instant messaging, but I'd rather do my own research than rely on someone else. I don't mean that as an insult. I think it's great that people help each other out and share information. I've been burned by it, though.
BUT did you PAY her, annoying or not
you should pay your workers
annoying
What things do you find annoying when transcribing (ex. docs spelling out wrong words, telling you where to put commas)?
What's annoying about it is (sm)
My company gave us what she would probably consider a cheesy gift. I don't consider it cheesy, and I love the company I work for, whether they give us a bonus or not. I can't stand braggarts. It's low class.
Fun with Annoying Callers!
I've got a plan for those annoying telemarketers, and bill collector calls that we all hate getting. Actually, I have several schpiels I use randomly for my own amusement, but this was one of my favorites.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiing. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiing.
Hello. I said answering the phone.
Hi. My name is Mitzi and I'm calling on behalf of the Disabled Fish of America. We are an organization for Crippled, Finless Fish who have ick disease. We would like to know if we can count on your support for a donation?
B 9.
What was that? She asked.
I said, Bee NINE.
Ma'am did you hear what I said? It's not a benign condition, seriously ick is a deadly condition and these fish are finless.
Yes, I heard you. Eye Two Seven.
I'm sorry what did you say?
I-27. Now, try to pay attention.
What are you talking about? She said.
N Fourty Five.
Is this 555-1212?
Yes it is. Please ma'am, don't interrupt me. G Fifty Eight.
Gee what?
G-FIVE EIGHT.
You are crazy.
O-80.
Ate who? She asked.
I said, 0-Eight Zero.
Oh, this is such bull!
Bingo! Hold your cards people, we have a winner!!
&$*# \%*((?#! She said.
Thanks you for playing. Better luck next time!
Annoying our former company------

Very stupid and very annoying - ARE YOU FOR REAL - sm
It is Diskriter's equipment. What if you go onto a website that is not related to work, and it ends up infecting THEIR computer with a virus? Did you ever think of that?? Did you ever think about how long you would be out of work because of it? It's not that they are being nosy, it is more or less for your protection and their protection. What if your kids or partner get on the computer and play around and go onto sites that bring on a virus. How would you feel about not being able to work for a few days while the computer is being repaired?
There is nothing annoying or stupid about it. Just think about it!
Then why keep b*tching about it? you guys are annoying. sm
Either IMPROVE YOUR SITUATION BY GOING WHERE THERE IS WORK or shut up about it. It's simple.
I agree-team mail is very annoying
I had to keep mine turned off--too distracting...
Yeah, Instant Messenger is very annoying
I would go crazy too. Thanks!
Sounds like Futurenet. I find it rather annoying.

You know, you do not have to respond to these posts if you find them annoying!
What are you, the post police? If these posts annoy you so much, why do you feel a responsibility to respond? **I'm telling**?? Control issues maybe? No one is making you read them or participate you know.
why on earth would they even need to be QA'd?
Not knowing the OP, I would not presume to say whether or not he/she is one of the MTs referred to in my previous post but it might be a good idea to at least give her the benefit of the doubt ya think?
There is no way on this Earth
for a company that doesn't pay for spaces. g o m d t . c o m
Why on EARTH....
do you stay there if you are so unhappy? It really makes no sense at all. Maybe you are just a miserable person and nothing will please you. ?? I sure hope you leave Transcend and find a company that is a better fit for you. Good luck!
Why on earth would they want to do that?
It doesn't make sense. User friendliness makes more money for them not less. Maybe I don't understand what you mean. 
Why on earth would anyone
want to work there? I sure wouldn't.
Annoying, Condescending, Uppity Snakes in Suits
Dont you just love how these offices screw around with your income. It is very annoying and I
sometimes wonder if they get the full implication of what they are doing to our paychecks because they are stupid enough to believe you can do all hospitals exactly the same which of course you cant.
Why on earth do they charge??
How much was the membership and what do you get in return? Just curious. I don't pay to belong to message boards, although I would consider if I got something great in return! 
The Day the Earth Stood Still sm
Patricia Neal had to repeat that to Michael Rennie's robot to stop it from destroying the earth.
What on earth is heresay?
Is it some kind of amalgam of hearsay and heresy? :)
Yes, but who on earth would relocate for a $10-15 an hour job?
Will the hospital pay relocation expenses? It's not worth uprooting the entire family and losing my husband's job when transcription jobs are a dime a dozen.
No thanks TTS is the last place on earth I would work
.
Why on earth not? People in absolutely every other
x
Yeah, I'm going to miss J. Very down-to-earth
Philly might just as well be in another galaxy.
How on earth do you make $35-$50 an hour?
Would you mind telling how many lines a day you type and how much cpl you get paid? I just don't see how anyone can type that much that fast. Wow! I'm in awe! Have any tips for us slow pokes with attention problems?
So what on earth are we supposed to do for a living then?
x
You betcha - worst schedule on earth it seems.
I've been working weekends for 10 years and seven days a week for 3 years. I'm about ready just to tell the office I'm not doing it anymore - I did my time. If they want to fire me, fine. It's totally ridiculous to be horsewhipped this way. No other profession on earth is forced to work 24/7 the way we are with no days off, no vacation time, nothing ever! - even doctors and nurses get SOME time off, or rotate weekends so they can have some kind of a life. Sheez, even indentured servants and house help in Medieval Europe got one day off every two weeks! SOMETHING to look forward to - some kind of a rest!
So yeah, your message really hit a nerve today:) Believe me, you are not alone. When the heck are we going to organize and stop letting ourselves be bullied by these slavedrivers?
okay give it up people OSI is not the only place on earth
:-(
If D&L does not pay their MTs why on earth are they allowed to post here continually?
//
it's hip to be green these days, save the earth, etc. nm
zzzz
Wouldn't work for them if they were the last company on earth.
Go to their web wite, read the second paragraph. It says:
Creating a new way of getting IT done. Faster, cheaper – and yes, even better.
That tells you what they think of American MTs. Why would any American MT work for them?
SS is the abolute worst company on the face of the earth.
The sound quality of their files is horrendous, their dictators are mostly ESL and the absolute worst ESLs I've ever done and I do ESL all the time and am very good at them usually. I found their platform very time consuming, tech support wasn't very good, QA was an absolute joke. If you take this job you can forget the coffee, you'll need Valium. If you read through the achives there are many posts stating basically the same thing so it wasn't just me. There are even a couple of posts where people decided to take positions against the advice of many of us and they have come back and apologized that they lasted only a month or two and we were right, that it was the absolute worst company out there.
I don't know anything about the other company. I don't know if they are a new company or have changed names because I've only seen them mentioned on here a couple of times.
I don’t remember saying for anyone to find another kind of job, earth to gourdhead, oh
Poor MTs? I am taxpayer just like anyone else and I am not poor. BTW, will not make 50K as I do not work fulltime. I have taken up for the company before but, not anymore as people tend not to believe you and want to say you are management so people can think what they want and we will just keep it at that. Besides, don’t you have to get back to being a rah-rah cheerleader for all those poor MTs or is this the time for you to turn all nasty on them again like you just did, when yesterday or the day before? You remember, when people were asking you about how were you giving advice, being retired, getting husband's pension and the motorhome?
Yes, call waiting works. I also have call forwarding from my home line
NM
You can call it greed, I call it feeling like
I am back in the 80s with the money I am pulling in. SS, retirement check and my paycheck, cha-ching. Not planning on taking it with me, never. Love to travel and have 4 places planned for this year. High maintenance lady here. Ta-Ta.
Call them......
Since the Warminster office is being absorbed into the Northeast Region, the only ones who can answer that question for you is the Warminster office itself. I've worked for them for years and have plenty of work - my accounts haven't gone anywhere.
Yes. I get what they call
a tiered incentive on my checks and then get quarterly bonuses to boot. I was quite impressed actually. I started at 8.75 cpl and can earn up to 2 cpl incentive plus the bonuses.
We got Labor day incentives too...$40 for the first 800 lines and $20 for every 400 lines after that.
It may all fall apart but right now I'm happy.
If you truly cannot call, perhaps
it is time to find work with another MTSO/company? That way when one is slow, you will have another as a backup? This is, of course, assuming you are an IC. If you are an employee having communications issues where you cannot even call your employer, I would start looking elsewhere.
I could call and say
I could call and say I I couldn't work that day if I was sick or if my daughter was sick, things like that, but I've never done that with the exception of a few weeks ago when my husband had open heart surgery and I ended up not working for 3 days.
I could call and say
But the point is I would never do that. I have to have a very good reason why I wouldn't work.
Why not just CALL them?
.
of course call
but I would take this as a warning: If they don't follow up *before* they actually hire you...
So should I call them? (nt)
xx
I had a guy call me to tell me he was going to
his MTs are earning money, but he would not tell me his company name. I did not answer the phone. That really made me nervous. I will not be giving my # out again.
Call and ask.
x
When I tried to call...
I got the message about the number being disconnected, so I emailed and got called back from another number.
You can call them and ask.
nm
Really not sure, but I would just call them and ask.

Why not just call them?
If I get no work on an account, the first thing I do is call to make sure there is no technical reason for the lack of work. (like maybe I was fired? (locked out?) :))
