Why would mgmt contact employees to explain the low volume,

if everyone is able to make as many lines as you do? BTW, I'm NOT the OP, just another employee sitting here waiting for work. Your statement was extremely condescending and rude to those of us who CAN'T make 20K lines because of low volume.

Did you not think that QA and mgmt were in contact?

If KS needs a second recruiter to help with the volume
I would love to be a recruiter. If you guys are in need of another recruiter, please contact me.
Low volume work
Same company, probably. My butt is now shaped like my chair's seat.!!
What's with the low work volume. I know about the feast or famine crap, but this is ridiculous.
I'm getting worried about this company, well BEEN worried about this company.
There seems to be either a severe lack of communication between MTs and bosses, or they just don't care.
Ok, rant over. Thanks for listening.
work volume
That's a good point about time and work volume. I work the 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. shift and there is usually plenty of work I guess because less people are working at that time.
LOL ... Heaven help us if there is a volume II ... eek. nm
I like them but work volume has been very low.
I have a very hard time making my minimum lines and no matter how many times I ask, I can't get put on any other accounts. If their work load picked up, they'd be great.
Big Hospital usually pay less (volume). Maybe you
If you are really interested, you can do some of your own research. Sites like those below have business profiles.
manta dot com
linkedin dot com
For example (old information):
MedQuist: $340 Million Revenue – 7512 employees (claim only 25% are Medical Transcriptionists, 5% Editors)
WebMedx: $38 Million Revenue – 800 employees (Average $47,500 per employee) (claim 29% are Medical Transcriptionists)
or it could be the work volume is just still low BUT
now the MTs figure they can cherrypick since they were sold out.?? That could be the reason, e-mail your leader and ask for them to check for skipping on your account if you keep getting the hard dictators!
once in a while when work volume is very high.nm

Quality versus volume
I feel the need to qualify my statement above. The MTSO makes their money on volume and QA is a necessary evil. The MT makes the bucks, not QA. They are required to have QA to avoid law suits for mistakes and to keep the client satisfied. Quality is something that is missing throughout the land ..everywhere you go, you see this. You can't even get a decent sandwich anymore at a fast-food because quality is not the point..no it is not...volume is the point. Quality be damned!
I am on that account and it is not overflow. It is a set volume with sm
a set 2 sites. You really should ask the lead instead of posting on an anonymous site which makes it look bad. Especially when you know as well as I do that this account is one of the best out there. I make great money and great lines.
I think that once it was caught up, which was a backlog created by the in-house staff, that they needed to make sure that everyone has the work they need but that the account is kept in TAT. Obviously there will not be as much work as it was unlimited while behind, but my understanding is that it will still be very busy as we are 100% responsible for the 2 sites.
BREITNER WORK VOLUME?
I'm wondering if the low volume of work mentioned by other posters here is for all shifts or just daytime? The recruiter recently told me that there is plenty of work and she offered me a full-time position. Might it be just to have me around when and if they get more work in the future? Would I be a fool to expect full-time volume NOW if I would be working late second shift?
What makes you think recruiters are paid on volume?
Most that I know are paid salary. Only a few pay on commission.
Had to leave FN due to neverending low work volume. SM
Almost everyone has to work IC if you don't live in California. Liked working there, though.
FN is a good company. Work volume much too low. SR pay very poor.

If someone has the experience, the volume and the quality, whole package, they SHOULD be paid well.
Our employees, at 0.08-0.10 per line make $24-30 per hour. That is not peanuts.
Yes, but their internet accounts at the moment are high volume ESLs nm

I wouldn't quit a decent company for seasonal low work volume.
I'd hang around and see what the New Year brings. I wouldn't say that if you were working for MQ, but I would for a company with a decent reputation. If it is still slow in January, I'd talk to my supervisor and find out what her take is on the situation.
Their new pay plan brought me back to newbie wages since I don't do high volume. And the work loa

Thanks. I've only been there 3 months and was wondering. Asked for a high-volume backup. No reply

Oh for sure employees, but not too often for statutory employees. Sorry for confusion.

Attn: Any Transcend employees or former employees
I have been offered a job with Transcend, but I am not completely sure about it yet and I need some input from you guys. I have read positives and negatives regarding this company but alot of it was pretty old information. Can anyone give me some recent feedback on them? Thanks very much!!!
LOL! No, I'm FAR from mgmt!
Nemesis would have been closer ;) Believe me, I have STUDIED this company and would be the first to zing them if I felt it was earned.
Former MQ Mgmt = HIS Mgmt
..
U'r KS mgmt - I do my job, so had better you
Only someone in mgmt at the co. would keep posting like this, and be so seriously upset. I can just see an MT defending someone they work for like this, LOL.
The IC co. I just left did the same thing. Always responding pretending to be an MT. LOL.
Like I SD - you better believe my pay better be in my acct on the day it is supposed to be there. Not 1-2 days late. You want me ON TIME on the job, you want me to be responsible, give you advance warning of days off, do a quality job, to work the hours I am scheduled. LOL - that goes 2 ways - you better do YOUR job and ON TIME.
Yes I am in Mgmt.
I see it as part of my job to check things and keep it fair.
U can try discussing it with mgmt but you will just
be discriminated against because u do not think what they do is the best thing since fried grits. If the program is so wonderful, why all the problems, the notes on the private board about major issues never resolved. Why does it break down every day? Why are line counts so hard to get? Say a word to mgmt about anything and u pay the price by getting nothing but garbage for dictators and garbage accounts.
They could save a lot of money by trashing this program and starting from scratch cuz MLS could actually produce some work on something decent.
They must be in co-hoots with OSI's mgmt
so lame
I'm not mgmt. I don't even work there, but was
My choice was between TT and another company. The other company went higher than 9 cpl, and I went with them.
Should be -- Don't KNOW if she means mgmt.

re: Word/mgmt
When I applied, Word 2000 and Excel 2000 was the minimum that you needed.. I did ask about the bounced checks, etc and was told that they do not currently have an issue but it was at one time.
Every reason to believe? Oh, boy. I think mgmt (sm)
has better things to do than sit around on these boards all day. Trust issues, huh?
My advice - look elsewhere. They (mgmt) is
extremely rude and feedback is insulting.
OMG! That explains it, then. MQ mgmt, and
ex-management are literally scum. After that enlightenment, I wouldn't say I was smart to send MDI-MD packing, but rather my MQ disgust radar was going off, and I didn't know why. Isn't that bizarre? That happened to me at another company a while back - one I was checking out before leaving MQ, and I accidentally recognized one of the names of management on a group email, and inquired. Sure enough, it was a company started by all ex-MQ mgmt. I tried to stay the course, but it was just the same old BS under a different company name. So sad, as I had heard great things about MDI-MD as well. Thus, my willingness to give them a shot. That's really a shame. Lots and lots of MQ MTs left MQ for them as well, and I know not many of us can handle any additional financial hits right now. So sad. People get the courage to leave one monster, and end up in the monster's spawn. Sorry if I offend anyone, but if you know MQ, you can relate.
Mgmt is US based but BAD!!!
Since the US management took over, there is no work and many Focus MTs have either quit - like myself - or have acquired 2nd employers so they make money. No work, bad management, accounts leaving, payroll always coming up short now, no decent QA, management that won't answer your IMs and if you call team leader you are called stupid, a liar, a worthless retard and basically they hate you and will fire you. I would personally avoid the company. It was better and more honest and work flow was great when the Indians managed Focus!
That seems all you have done . . . TransTech mgmt ????
So silly . . . .
sure sounds like T mgmt, but thats okay.

send it to everyone BUT mgmt. Make sure it's just to the MTs. sm
what are they gonna do? fire you? LOL
They also did not change the MGMT insurance
and that's just not right. Seems the ones who are making them all that money for their BIG salaries are the ones who are suffering. VERY UNFAIR.
Don't ever forget that HR works for MGMT and not
Recruiters or mgmt should not be solicting
for employees on this particular board, it is for the MTs to share information about companies. I know this isn't an MT.
Adept Word Mgmt.
I used to work for them when I lived in Texas and I did not like them at all. Don't bother....
At the risk of being called mgmt, I have to say (sm)
that when I started 2 years ago my very first check was direct deposited, but I can't remember how much time they had to do it. I DO remember I was shocked, because the company I had come from always told us, it took several pays before it went through. I think it was because they just didn't bother with the paperwork involved.
TT Mgmt says more is going to VR by Dictaphone and Escription
Trying every way to cut our pay. Less and less regular transcription. Of course, as mgmt says, this is the wave of the future. But how do we explain that 1/2 cut in pay to our mortgage companies and be able to put gas in our car to go anyway. Horrible thing happening in this MT field for the MT's.
sups, mgmt, recruiters...
And whatever almighty names you wanna call yourselves. This is someone you can learn from.
lol! i'm not mgmt and not scared, just wanted to
share my opinion. I'm just a plain 'ole MT, wouldn't want to be in management or an MTSO. Had a couple of my own local clinic accounts some years back, but one of the doctors went out of business, and I gave the other one to a friend because I was tired of driving 30 minutes one way to pick up tapes and deliver.
Bottom Line -- Mgmt always says that
cherry-picking is not allowed and will be dealt with; however, it very rarely is. If management is not going to take care of it, nothing you can do. Just type and go on. This way, you will get up to speed on these dictators and it will not matter in the long run.
When MDI mgmt posts on these boards
they don't hide behind a moniker. They use their real names. People will think what they want to think, but I'm with the OP on this one!
Just because we can't see it doesn't mean mgmt isn't dealing with it. (sm)
Hopefully they are still monitoring this. The only time I really noticed a problem was a few months ago, they had hired some new people on my main account and they evidently didn't like foreign accents. After a few days an E-mail came out about cherry picking and those people were gone, either to another account or company, I don't know.
It is VERY clear Web mgmt does not care at all about their MTs.
If they did, this overhiring and scrambling for work wouldn't happen constantly as it does now. They can keep their townhall meetings and cookbooks and let us work consistently.
I'm sure the team leads and mgmt SM
are keeping track of line counts, right? Then they should be quite aware of who isn't getting their count in and contacting those people to find out what the problem is.
