BECAUSE YOU HAVE A SCHEDULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Duh! You are just as anal as they are. No wonder you love working there.
FOR THE LAST TIME....IF YOU ARE A TRUE IC, YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE A SCHEDULE!!! Whether you emailed them or not is NOT the point. Sheesh!
If you have scheduled hours/a scheduled start and stop time, YOU ARE BEING TREATED LIKE AN EMPLOYEE. GET A CLUE!

Oh man, I am supposed to start with sm
Keystrokes soon. Not another company out of work :(
Yes it does take time...I was supposed to start (sm)
August 28 but didn't get to actually start until September 6. I was in a horrible financial situation anyways and that didn't help...but I hung on and I stayed in constant contact with them, telling them I really needed to start. I think they did their best to hurry them up at the hospital I was waiting on my security info from. But I'm glad I waited because they have been great to work for so far. Good Luck!
P.S. Said all this is supposed to start in 2010..nm

I have the same situation. My start date was actually supposed to be 12/29 and I am still waiting.
I have been in contact with them, but it seems this will happen in their own good time. It's strange cause I keep receiving global emails through my company email, and they are begging people to work extra to take care of a backlog. Last night a manager called me on the phone to request that I work overtime, and I explained my situation to her. She didn't seem too surprised, but I have to wonder if maybe someone isn't doing their job. The general manager is aware now anyway. Whether that makes any difference? Email me if you want to compare notes.
TransHealth has some that start the next month after you start work. nm

Busy since noon doing everyone's rejects

It's Monday morning - usually it picks up by noon. nm

Supposed to be easy work, but you won't ever get more than 8 cpl. How it was, anyway..nm

How are you supposed to know when the work will be in to make up?
We are not privvy to how much work is in the system at any given time. We only know what is in our queue. This is just absurd on so many levels.
I'd like to know the bad platform and which accounts run out of work. I'm supposed to have bac
accounts to work on...Please email me.. I cant afford to work on the Mojave Desert LOL
So you are supposed to work until that minute like nothing is wrong? sm
Do they really expect everyone to just say OK and carry on as usual until that time? They're nuts.
the new accts were supposed to already be on board and still no work

Same here. When there is no work, how are you supposed to make the requirement
asd
I guess our clue is supposed to be when we run out of work all the time?

Ever thought of a home health care aide? Usually paid training and start work right away. Can work

how are you supposed to work and watch your mail all the time to play a stupid contest?
Transcend cares only about the big pay for its managers and corporate people, nothing for its MTs. Pay used to be decent, is less than mediocre for that horrible editing platform we are forced to use. ROMs have nothing to do but yell at the MTs and invent first grade games to play. I would rather have had the $1.48 postage and $1.00 it cost for the mouse pad and strip calendar.
Remember the old days when Edix used to give the Drake and Drake drug book for MT week? That was when Edix was a good company, too.
Good & bad posts in the past. Must work 1 Sat. a month. Supposed to be gross line pay. Some days

Start looking and get out. Yes, they do route the best work
to the favs. No, I don't believe it happens at all companies. The supervision at OSi have wayyyyy to much time on their hands.
Has your hubby & son's work start
slowing down, like not many jobs around? Mine has been off since October and only started at the end of May this past year.
We always dreamed of taking our vacations in the middle of winter when he was off, too, but every year, the work is less and less for him. Yet his broker has given what little work there is to his favorite guys and he was told some of them are working a day or two a week. It's frustrating. For his type of work (federal and state highways), he needs a broker and there is only one around here. Plus, he still hasn't been paid for work he did in October (2 whole days). We're afraid the broker is going under and, if that's the case, I guess DH will be forced to retire early.
Promised to call you to start work?
I'm sorry, but as a recruiter it's hard to believe that a company looks at your testing and assumes that you'll buy in to what they're selling before having a long discussion between the two of you. Something's fishy here.
Not out of work here...it was a slow start yesterday
but it picked up in the afternoon and evening.
I think majority of negative comments start when work is low and
they start looking for another job. I, for one, would rather be too busy and have to work an extra hour or 2 than not to have any work. Overhiring is the death of all of us, since we do not have a guaranteed income unless you are a team leader or hourly employee.
Failure to pay on time is another large problem that will produce negative comments.
If companies were actually above-board with the problems at their company before the hiring process is completed, a lot of this could be avoided.
Go to the Seeker's page from start of Jan. On 1/4, about 1/2 way down, ad for Tons of Work is

Ironically, we work for 2 different companies that are in FL and start with an M. I wondered because
other than that one account, I get a great line count on my main one, but I still say I'd dump any job with a big line count discrepancy. Why frazzle yourself.
Slow start yesterday - out of work for about 1 hour -

Guess our work will eventually go to India now. Going to start looking for another job! (NM)

I have dial-up and make money. I download my work and I can start transcribing
as soon as the first report has downloaded. Once I download I disconnect, do my work, then connect and send my completed work. I usually start my download in the morning then go take my shower, feed all the animals, grab myself something to drink and I'm ready to go. Once the work is downloaded what type of connection you have doesn't matter.
Sure it is safe to post your resume on the net, provided it is a reputable site. I would not just post it anywhere, but post it on the job boards here and other reputable sites. Most sites have some type of safeguards in place so that you have to have registered with the site and/or paid a usage fee to view information like addresses and phone numbers, so that not just anyone can view the information.
Another option may be an account that has C-phone or similar accounts, where you aren't downloading, but dialing directly into the system.
We band together and start our own company offering our services to the hospitals we've been work
on already and take our accounts back from Transcend. I haven't signed any noncompete contract with Transcend. Would the MDI one be null and void? If my pay rate is null and void, so must my noncompete. They can't have it both ways.
why is it not supposed to be done?
I'm in the same situation and just wondered why it shouldn't be done if this had been your primary source of work, thus your bread and butter for several years and was suddenly gone. In my case, it's neither the company's nor my fault, so I was seriously considering doing this, but if there's some legality involved here, I would really be interested in hearing about it. Thanks.
Yes they do, yes it is, and yes it is supposed to be. lol nm

What's that supposed to mean?
You posted your age? Should I care? :)
Were we not supposed
nm
What you are supposed to do is SM
call the help desk and ask for more work. Have you done that?
NO, we as MTs are NOT supposed to know...s/m
'the difference between generic and brand'. We are only suposed to know if it is capped or not.
And this we know only when we look it up.
Some we remember, the majority we forget, then we look it up again.
BTW: What do you mean by 'difference in generic or brand.'
The definition of this can be given in ONE sentence.
?????????what is that supposed to mean??????

So are you supposed to type
the wrong numbers? 1,2, 3,5, 8, 10??? How stupid is that?
I am not going to send things like that to QA.
Also when I know how a medication is spelled I am supposed to leave it in wrong and flag everything like that?? That is crazy.
Yes verbatim to a point when common sense comes into play use it. QA does not need stuff like that sent to them.
should be ...a new account right now that is supposed to be really big....
xxxxxx
I don't understand this. You are supposed SM
to be on full QA when you first start, just like all the other jobs I've had. The limit you can type every day is like 5 reports or something like that and you're supposed to stop and wait for the feedback. Were you just typing anyway and didn't care? It never occurred to me to keep typing. I did my reports, waited for my feedback (which came before the start of the next day's shift) and then did 5 more. I was taken off full QA in 2 days and then the amount I could type was not limited. Again, I just don't understand a post like this one. I understood from the policy I read when I was hired and then when I trained I was reminded of the limit.
and the best I recall, we were supposed
to save all of our logs and periodically send them to our team leader. I had so many binders when I left them after a very short time, I had one whole shelf full of them. Everything negative I have read about this company has been absolutely true from my experience. They sound good ....
that was supposed to be "I believe..." (I was starting
oops.
You are supposed to clock in and out sm
In order to get any bonus money, which is paid according to Lines Per Hour (LPH), you NEED to clock in and out for everything. It makes for a very long day, turning 8 hours into sometimes 10 or even more. I don't clock out to look up words or to go to the bathroom but do clock out for anything longer than 15 minutes. I think PTO starts from day one.
Thanks, but not a M-F person. Just supposed to be off.
nm
Thank you! The average is supposed to
be 1500 per day, but each person, as well as account vary! No one should mislead others into thinking they are going to get rich quick. Anyone making above 1500 lines a day, I am happy for you. That is very good.
Is this supposed to attract MTs??
Any MTSO who consistently relies on pay from clients to pay their MTs is in BIG trouble. That company will have a high turnover and/or get sued and reported to the BBB. Why is this commonsense business practice - having credit and/or backup funds to pay staff - so often ignored in this industry??  Because you all (MTs) stand for it and give the benefit of the doubt, i.e., MTSO will get new clients who are better paying. 
Supposed To Call
I had already tested and was offered a position via email. They were supposed to call me on Friday to discuss the account, but then emailed me and said that they were unable to make the call and would have to call me on Monday. It's now Thursday and I still haven't heard from them.
So, I've already accepted a position with another company.
Their loss...
I hear they are supposed to
be good about it, and kind. I am starting sometime next week, how about you? Are you starting with them also? FT is 1100 per day (5500 per pay, I think), and PT employee status is 500 per day, 2500 per pay, wich is what I will be doing. Just fed up with FT anywhere anymore.
while it's supposed to stand for that
I use my imagination and have come up with some really good and oh so appopriate ones!
D--- h---
Think about it. LOL
Any KS's tell me what report I am supposed
to send at end of every shift? ');>
Thanks!
Here we go again! These boards are supposed to be here for HELP
and not for constant company bashing by someone who so obviously has an axe to grind for some reason. I for one am so sick of this!
