YIKES!!! Thanks for the good information. I wont be applying there.
You just cannot make any money doing that, and face it, we're not in this to waste time in our day. We are trying to make a decent living which is getting harder and harder to do as it is.
YIKES... I guess I knew it sounded to good to be true. I wonder if anyone ever gets sign-on bonuses
at any company. Maybe we should take a survey on who actually gets a sign-on bonus. How depressing is that. Now I'm bummed.
a good thing and stay put, not think! nm

They try to stay in TAT, even on weekends (as they should) Good company.

THANK YOU!! good to know so we can all be made aware to stay away! nm

Any good suggestions? So many stay aways!
Wanting to know some good company suggestions. Went down the page here, and lots of stay aways. Still looking for a fair line count (see original message on main board about wanting to find a fair company) or at least a way to get paid halfway decent without getting burnt out. That is trying to find a company or hospital situation at home where you get the line count which is fair, no hidden surprises. Thanks in advance for some good replies. I have enough stay aways on my list and none so far on the good list. Have a nice day and thanks again.
Yes. Pay on time, good communication, stay busy.nm

Yes, PS HAD a good rep in the past, but they're a mess now. Stay away. nm

STAY AWAY from this company! Do a search here. Lots of information, none of it good.
Good place to start if you have no experience but you wouldn't want to stay there.
Unique experience working with and for the Indians and that's all I can say about that. Just realize that when you say NO.. because of the language barrier to them it means that yes, I will do it. LOL..I was new to the online biz too and they were my first job. In hindsight, YIKES.. but I stayed 7 months and then moved on.
I can't afford to stay with VR. If they paid more, I'd stay.
The situation sucks. I really liked this company when I started there. I know they read these forums, and they are aware that we are unhappy over VR line rates. They stroke us with cute emails and say we're the best, but I can't feed my family on praise. They're turning into another MedQuist, and so I'll be leaving.
Stay low and stay very, very quiet. Do not
ask questions, do not talk to the supervisors unless forced to. The answer will always be the same, that you are the only one who has an issue, everything else is perfect. Never mention anyone's name. This place has the mentality of the Borg, everyone has been assimilated, which means if your supervisor does not like you, or does not like your friend, you have no chance. You associate with so and so, so you are exactly like them. That quickly goes through the Borg network and every team lead, ROM, and person in management, including HR, is aware of it. You'll be labeled a trouble maker and your life will not be worth living. Any trial to clear your name will be done in the fashion of the trial of witches. You are in a dunking chair - if you drown you are innocent but it is too late by then.
Remember, a ROM never makes a mistake and never tells something that isn't true. They are perfect (and nastier than a pack of hiennas.)
If you run out of work, it is your fault. You are just lazy. Can't make enough to take care of your family? Too bad, you need to work harder.
And forget getting an answer from management. It doesn't
happen. So, as before, stay low and very quiet.
And do a good job? You can be assured that if you do a good job, do what you are supposed to do, and stay quiet, no one will even recognize your name. They have no idea where you work, what your schedule is, or that you even belong to Transcend.
Yikes!
Run for the hills! Don't get suckered into joining them cuz they may offer 10 cpl as it is not worth it; also not worth sacrificing every weekend for chump change. They say they offer competetive wages in their ads but yet they don't offer incentive or shift differential. No wonder everyone leaves as there are greener pastures.
Yikes!

Yikes.
I can't see any MTSO getting involved in this. I know plenty of MTSOs or their loyal workers read here. I warn people when I can and give credit to a good company when I run across them. If a company worries you, don't work for them. There are hundreds of companies to choose from. :-)
Yikes.
That is just terrible!
YIKES!
Just sounds like a bunch of people got up on the wrong side of the bed today. Everyone seems to be crabbing here. I know this is a company board, but why the personal attacks? I think possibly the attendings were not in lately maybe because of the holidays and a lot of docs who work for the Hospital Admitting dictated. It does not happen in droves all the time but it happens. And about people liking certain work types, that is good for the company, everyone just should be prepared to do everything if the company knows they have the talent. In my 20 years of experience things usually even out. Especially at a place as good a TT with the kind of leadership it has. Not to be goody goody, but if someone was worried about too much ESL or some other problem, why not just reduce stress instead of crabbing on this board. IMO. Of course now you can crab at me, but that's okay, I'll just have an egg nog and forget about it (see gab board). LOL
Yikes.
If you like coding, go back to school for that. No way should anyone be doing QA fresh out of school. Good luck to you!
Yikes!
That was the reason why I was thinking about applying was because my company has been very low on work almost all month, and I wanted something more stable. I guess I'll have to think twice about them then. Thanks for the heads up!
Yikes!
I would never give ANYONE copies of my pay stubs no matter who they were or what they said they needed them for!
YIKES!
I saw an add posted on another forum and the address was Ohio. Totally strange. Indian-owned - - I will not apply. Thank You!
Yikes
Sounds like something Spheris would do.
Yikes!
We should all throw our shoes at whoever is in charge of that place!
See I did it again - yikes.
*hilarious
I think I should just call it quits right now :)
Yikes!
Ebonics at its finest.
Yikes!!!!! nm

Yikes!
WOW! This is absolutely ridiculous! There are some really unhappy and mean people on this board. It really isn't anyone's place to point out grammar/spelling mistakes. I get emails all the time from my supervisors I work for with typos and incorrect grammar and puncuation in them - WHO CARES? I do it as well - I am more relaxed in my correspondence, but when it comes to my job, I am extremely conscientious about it. That's how I make my money. And the companies know this. They aren't going to fire you or dock your work because you left off a comma or used an elipses in the wrong form. I also have a side business where I deal with the Mayor, City Council, and various others in government and they all write like me too!
You posters who scream and belittle people for things like this really have issues. Major control issues. Get some help and leave the rest of these people alone. Take a yoga class, do some meditation, go for a hike, have a couple cocktails - do something to relieve the stress and unhappiness in your lives. You can't control the world, honestly. To the posters who are like me and just relax when we write because we aren't getting paid to do otherwise, keep it up! I definitely keeps the stress level down. Don't let these OCD'ers and control freaks get to you - and most of all, don't get sucked into their pettiness.
Soap box closed
YIKES!!
Better stay away from them too!! Thanks :)
Yikes! Thanks for the info

Yikes, someone is definitely misleading others. I
that Transcend is still offering 3 cpl incentive to work holidays.
Undercutting ... yikes!
That's not a great practice. That can hurt MTs in the long run because it lowers our pay. If the national can make that line rate, you should be worth it -- or at least darn near -- too! You really just shortchange yourself. Being competitive is one thing but undercutting is another. Make sure you know the difference!!! Competitive means you are within a cent or two of the competition. Undercutting means you accept way less, thus making it look like MTs in general just overcharge and don't deserve the higher pay. Keep it competitive but don't undercut! We deserve just as much as the nationals and maybe even more so don't hang yourself. If you give the impression that you're willing to do the same work for much less, you may have a really hard time raising rates later. Not to mention, other MTSOs will blacklist you for it and if you ever need a job, you may have difficulty finding one. MTSOs exchange info about undercutters all the time.
I speak from experience so just a word to the wise.
Yikes move on....
If this is how they hire people, imagine when it's payday!
Yikes! Got my answer.
Sorry you do not have enough work. Now I know not to bother.
No spellcheck? Yikes!

Yikes. That's going to hurt your ck
Yikes! Thanks for the info.

Yikes .. right, not write. nm
Ok, ok, I meant "company". Yikes! :) nm

yikes. i am a high producer. with the changes at Q,
my pay has taken a HUGE cut, so I hate to jump from the frying pain into the fire. I transcribe and edit, and I am definitely feeling the pinch and have to decide this weekend. Thanks for the info...much appreciated
Yikes..I don't think I've used that for like 10 years. Why do you ask?
I'd also be curious to see if any companies actually are still using that. I can't imagine anyone still having it but you never know. Do you really like working on this now that we're on like WP 12??
Yikes - with the pay cuts and all? You can have 'em.
nm
Yikes---that should be question not questino:-)
Yikes! They were so nice during the test...
Oh no....not again....
Yikes..is your experience there current?
I'm leaving a job like that now so chances are that I do not want to go into another situation like that. Life's too short!!!
Yikes! Send resumes out right away. Try some of
I suggest Transtech. They are hiring, and are safe! E mail them and follow up with a call. You need a job! Please consider this a good thing because if the job that just did this would fire you like that on a whim, they are not worth working for, but I assume you have bills to pay!! Please try sending your resume quickly to a couple of reputable companies like Transtech. I can't think of any other. I used to work for MDI-MD but can't recommend them anymore. So many I can say don't send to... but I can recommend TT. Please try the best you can to get on board somewhere ASAP! We are out here pulling for you... and once you are settled let us know you are okay!
Yikes, I'm on a roller coaster!!
I don't know what to think. Guess I'll find out what its like for myself real soon. 
Yikes, does the company contribute toward your premium? sm
Wow, seems very high. I've heard of $300 - $400 for a family plan monthly but never double. I know that a lot of places feel that you as the MT are saving travel, clothing, lunch money and getting a lot of perks working from home, but so are they by you doing it! I do know plenty of people do work just for benefits though. If you're working for needed income just as much as benefits though....I'd check around. Wow again! Company I just got an offer from (didn't take it, they're bad) offered full family bennies for just over $300/month and it was a decent plan - good co-pay, deductible, etc. But it is one of the bigger MTSOs. If it is a smaller one, they may not be contributing, just offering it to you. It is possible to find one that contributes monthly toward your premium.
Yikes! Webmedx recently told me they don't have
...the capability for VR. Is this something new?
Yikes!!! Excuse me. All I did was ask who the company might be. Did it occur to you that there are
some companies we might choose NOT to apply with, or have applied already with and turned down an offer, or just not interested in a particular company. Who said you were covering anything up??? I prefer to apply with companies that I WANT to apply with, not with a mystery employer. I'm giving out personal information and have a right to know who it is going to. Someone is very defensive. What did I ever do to you!!!!
Yikes? I know it might be hard to believe, but there are people who are happy with MQ.
I just happen to be one of many. No weekends, time 1/2 for holidays if I work, 10c per line, fast platform, and every day I learn something new. Have gotten offers from Transtech, MDI-MD, Hypertype and Webmedx, but I'm still with MQ. I'm not stupid, far from it, I just KNOW that they are all the same. MQ happens to be the biggest and some people just can't handle that. They will bounch back, just wait....
