really ticks me off. It is a simple mistake that was made. You need to get over it! No harm was meant. I could have made the mistake myself because I honestly did not know Oriental was not appropriate. I am not ignorant.

Calling other people's gifts "cheesy", are ya? Not nice
nm
I am appalled at the cruelty and name calling shown here. Some people sm
seem to forget that we are supposed to be here to network and SUPPORT each other, not tear each other down and try to belittle someone. They seem not to know even the basic courtesies.
I was offered a position with JLG, and they told me I could have my check Fed Ex'd. I did consider it, although after 30 years of being an MT and having some bad experiences, I have decided not to go wtih it. But I certainly do not consider myself stupid for considering it, and neither should you. If I had taken the position, I would do what I do when I take any new job -- keep my old job until I find out if this really will work out for me. Heck, right now I would probably keep it anyway as I need the extra cash.
Good luck in your search. If you happen to find a great company with benefits that pays well and on time, let me know!
By chance, are these people calling "non-Americans" I worked for a company
who shall remain nameless but their supervisors were in India and would IM me constantly to do a STAT. Even though, I would try tellin them I was not working that day or that I was going somewhere. They continued to ask. It was bizarre. I kept think, what part of English DONT you understand..NO..I thought meant the same everywhere. They are just the only poeple I have dealt with that just doesnt comprehend rejection of any sort, but that's just me.
No, I am not ignorant.
Just very stressed and very tired.
Wow! That is beyond ignorant of them!
They are the worst company ever! They are as incompetent as ever too. I quit working there 6 months ago to go with another company, and I am STILL getting late night phone calls asking me why I am not working! I got a call just this past Saturday night around 10 PM desperately looking for someone to work on the account that I used to be on. This was the 3rd or 4th call that I had gotten from them in about a weeks' time. I keep telling them that I haven't worked there in 6 months, but they just don't get it! Sometimes it is the same person who calls me over and over! I am seriously contemplating changing my phone number because of them. I hope they pay you all of your leave time! They never paid me mine when I quit, and I had about 2 weeks worth. Oh well.
are you ignorant or just have...
a problem with comprehension? Re-read idiot. LOL
Are you really this ignorant?
Sorry for the harsh tone, but it is SO simplistic to suggest our current problems can be laid at the feet of EITHER one party or the other ONLY - get a clue!!!
BOTH PARTIES ARE CORRUPT and both of them either are responsible for the mess OR DIDN'T DO ENOUGH TO STOP IT.
Example: Under the bu$h reign, there was no regulation ERGO the current implosion. AND he started a fake war to advance American Imperialism -but WHERE WERE the democrats? ENABLING HIM.
So get a clue people: UNTIL WE THE PEOPLE stand up to the status quo, you can bet corrupt members from BOTH Parties are going to continue to cheat and lie and steal U.S. blind.
That is an ignorant statement

That's why they keep american's ignorant
Thank your corporate media for reporting the government's propaganda... I think Americans have to learn the hard way that if they don't participate in democracy they will surely lose it.
Not all newbies are that ignorant!
Those that have come from reputable schools have the reference books they need when they start out and know how to use them. When I was a newbie a couple years ago fresh out of M-TEC, I was off QA within a month. I have never received a QA score lower than a 98%. That's because I know how to use my references, take the time to do it, and leave a blank rather than guess. Not all newbies are naive enough to think the internet is reliable or are too cheap to invest in a good reference library.
The ignorant fools believe.
.
yup you're more ignorant...
Than you made yourself out to me. I wouldn't be as bold to speak up as I did if I wasn't sure. So shut up and stop acting like you know me.
You are NOT really that ignorant are you? Single
means just that, single, whether divorced, unmarried, separated, or whatever. With your bitter attitude I understand why you were divorced.
Your comment is totally ignorant of the facts
Just because you have had an increase doesn't mean everyone will, and calling those that didn't have your experience stupid just shows your ignorance on the matter. It doesn't matter what percentage they give you for editing in the long run because if there is no production you're still taking a loss. What part of that don't you understand? If a person is experiencing the platform freezing up, timing out, crackling and buzzing, all while working with no expander, poor expander, no autotexts, or minimal hotkeys, it doesn't matter one iota if tTranscend paid 100% for editing, they're still losing money in their paycheck. If the work load is low even 100% of nothing is still nothing. Your outlook is not only ignorant of others' problems, it's self-centered and narrow-minded. You deserve to sit all by your happy little self with more work and wallow in the garbage they're dishing out because their reputation is not so well respected anymore. You'll fit in perfectly.
Hate to sound ignorant, but what's a proofer? nm

you are ignorant and stuck in the Middle Ages...
VR is not always bad, the bad is that the pay is much, much too low. It should pay the same as straight.
The above post is the most inconsiderate, cold-hearted, not to mention ignorant piece of work I'
Do you even have a clue as to how much one cycle of IVF costs? Try 15K to 20K and it takes on average three cycles to achieve conception...if at all. How many people do you know wait until they have $20,000.00 saved before starting a family? Get real.
Not that it's any of your business, having a child was not a mental issue for me. I initially didn't feel that it would be necessary to share the details of what led up to our infertility because I didn't see the relevance. Infertility is what it is. However, if sharing the details will prevent you or anyone else from drawing conclusions and posting abrasive half-truths, then here goes:
My husband, against my wishes, had a vasectomy when our only daughter was 3. Coming from a big family, I always wanted at least two children. Long story short: We went to Texas for the first reversal and Arizona for the 2nd (5 years ago). We spent our entire savings, which was close to 20k and both surgeries failed. My daughter prayed for a baby brother or sister every night. I had this tremendous burden of guilt because our infertility was self-inflicted. I knew she would never be a big sister or even an aunt because of our selfishness.
Infertility in and of itself is traumatic enough, but when it's self-inflicted, the guilt can be overwhelming. At least it was for me.
There, now you have the facts. However, if you find it more entertaining to post over-the-top fabrications about my complete lack of control and severe mental issues, as you called it, knock yourself out.
I have been pretty honest about my personal life and would appreciate it if you could just answer 2 simple questions.
(1) Dou have any children?
(2) In your opinion, do you feel that insurance companies should cover the cost of elective abortions?
You can just answer yes or no. I'm not posting anymore on this thread so you won't get any arguments from me.
CALLING ALL NEW MQ MTs
What incentives were you hired at? If you are an SE, were you told you get quarterly bonuses? PLEASE REPLY!
Just keep calling (sm)
Don't be nervous. Same thing happened to me. They are spread pretty thin there, with people wearing a number of hats. They don't really have one person who does only recruiting that I'm aware of, unlike the other companies, hence the disconnect in getting back with people.
Have you tried calling them?

Calling on ICs
I have always been a FT employee for a national ...I understand IC status but very unfamiliar w/companies hiring IC status....Any advice on ICing greatly appreciated and good/bad companies....How is money doing Rad as compared to hospital basic 4...?
Thank you
keep calling
630-553-3680 I played phone tag for quite awhile before I finally got to talk to the recruiter. I believe they must be really busy hiring these days.
No name-calling, please. (sm)
We all have to get along on this board. If you don't care for what someone is posting, you can disagree but you cannot use foul names or vulgar references.
First off an MD would not be calling HR to
talk about an MT. They have a contact and if they had a problem with the work of an MT they would call their contact, not HR.
Have you tried calling them???
x
Why would you be calling yourself sm
Newer TTer if you've been there for 3 years? Probably forgot to change the name field, didn't you? I smell someone trying to be more than 1 person here.
you are calling her smug?
I think it's quite smug that you assume because you state you were allowed to have a flexible shift that this statement will automatically allow Transcend management to know who you are! So, you were the only one treated special? Well, you don't work there anymore so all should be fair now!
Also, I knew coming into the job that Transcend had 300 or so employees and was not as big as Spheris. Who cares? Also, I think the fact that you pointed out, about how numbers of MTs post positive comments about Transcend, I think that definitely speaks as to the health of the company. If we were posting negative comments, everyone would be ready and more than willing to accept those posts as an indication of how the company is functioning. It seems that the bad is always more spicer and acceptable than the good.
As far as blanket statements go, that is exactly what was going on with the unhappy poster. They were blanket statements. And as far as trying to "draw her out", you are absolutey correct. I could care less who that poster is, I want to draw out the specifics of the allegations. I want to understand what she is talking about and why. If you are going to post something on here that is controversial, you had better be prepared to back it up, good or bad. There is nothing wrong with expecting that out of someone, otherwise that poster's comments are chalked up to a disgruntled employee or bad seed.
I also know that I am no one special at Transcend, but I have managed to be treated very well there since being hired. I have been given everything that I need and have FINALLY found a company that I can trust. It is quite easy to get on here and post positive things about a company, placing your name beside it. You are right about that. However, I have worked for Keystrokes and Spheris and have posted many times complaints about each and have posted my name. Why is that? Because I believe in what I stand for and if I feel that I am not being heard or treated fairly, I am not ashamed or afraid to stand up for what I need. Sure there may be repercussions in that, but I am willing to accept that. What some people don't realize, though, is that there are also repercussions in anonymity in that you never get anything changed.
CALLING ALL MEDWARE MTs
Considering this company, could some people give me their average pay an hour, etc. Tx
?? Why the name calling? Deal with it..
x
I see. So that's why you are calling her dishonest?
Apparently there were changes made. That does not make her dishonest. It means her plans changed.
I have this recruiter calling me
about a position within her company. When I asked her initially how she got may name and number she said someone gave it to her but she couldn't remember who. Anyway, she has called 4-5 times. Her name sounded familiar so I looked back to old jobs I had applied for. She used to be the recruiter for SoftScript (I guess, she may work for both). Are they allowed to take that information with them to another company? I'm really bothered by the fact that she has done this and have told her to quit calling me but I'm just amazed that she has taken this information and is now using it for this other company.
Hmmm. I would try calling them. nm

If they are calling you , then yes, you passed - sm
otherwise you'd probably never hear from them, or maybe get an email saying try back in 6 months. Talk to them, you have nothing to lose. If you like what they say accept the offer but tell them you cannot start until January. Or if they don't like that offer to work PT until then and go FT in January. It usually takes a week or more to get all set up as it is. As for looking around, you face a lot of competition, jobs are hard to come by. I just lucked into a backup job for my main job (both are totally IC, no set hours and on the new one just have to meet 500 lines a day) (getting bad vibes from my regular job, another MTSO is trying to get the account away from my employer, and if they succeed I am out of a job--they have been up front with me at least at let me know). The pay for the new IC job is not great (average), but for now is it extra $. If it becomes my B&B I will be making less, but it is easier work so it would all work out in the end. You could accept the MW offer and keep looking, no law against that. Good luck.
Try calling a recruiter.

Or not calling a recruiter. That would be best.

I would appreciate your not calling me **nuts**
I only got 5 hours during my scheduled shift yesterday and only 3 hours during my scheduled shift today, so I know for sure. No jobs.
Please know the entire story before posting such accusatory names as ***nuts***. My account has no work for me.
Calling all MDI-MD'ers...
I have just been contacted by MDI-MD for interview. I could sure use your imput esp if you are an old MQ'er. If you would like to respond, could you please E-mail me?
Thanks so much!
maybe try calling them and ask if no one knows the answer
nm
If that happened to me, I'd be calling the BBB
Try emailing or calling your former STM. nm

Calling all you LANDMARKIANS!! (Is that right??)
Hello! I just joined Landmark and would be very interested in meeting some of my many co-workers scattered out there across the country! If there are any of you that may be interested in sharing IMs, please just email me. I promise not to abuse you with IMing. The company I just left mandated IM accounts so I will understand perfectly if you're not interested. I didn't think I would ever be again! All the IMing I had to do caused me to have to burn the midnight oil on more than one occasion!!
Please just shoot me an email if you are interested. I think this could very helpful for us. If you have zero interest in an IM relationship then that's perfectly fine too! I'd still like to hear from any of you working at Landmark. I've been doing this so long there may actually be a few of you I do know from years ago!
Thanks!
Landmark Newbie
Yes, I agree with calling New Jersey
What has happened is that P and M have a lot more authority than they are capable of handling. for example, I know of an MT whose son was killed in a car accident. For obvious reasons during the funeral and shortly thereafter she could not make her lines, they threatened to cut off her health insurance, single mom. That one broke my heart and I knew I had to leave.
IF you stop calling it Christmas
First of all, I don't think it's possible. People would never totally adapt to saying Holiday instead of Christmas. But second of all, I think that if we did stop saying Christmas, lo and behold, whatever word we used instead, be it holiday or whatever, would then become an objectionable word. They just are jealous of us and want to bully us around. I can imagine maybe we just change the date? Christ was born in September anyway. It all goes back to converting pagans and having a celebration to coincide with their big winter celebration.
No communication? They are calling and emailing me
/
Same thing happened to me, and when I kept calling
hired me went on vacation for 3 weeks. Ridiculous. I had to move on and get work with someone else. Cannot waste time waiting around for people like this - how long will you wait around when you have a problem. Nope ... move on.
Have all the emails go to Junk so you don't see them. Keep calling until
s
Looks like the pot calling the kettle black to me....sm
Obviously you have time to come here and check out the posts. Ever think other people might be the same way?
To OSi, pls stop calling me to work on my day off!
If all your newbies and mentees can't help you out for chrissakes stop ripping people off and lying to them so you can retain quality MT's who actually have experience and can get the job done.
They are the ones calling it Medquist Docuscribe, not me. nm
Thanks! They are calling me to talk to me on Monday! SM
I'm very excited! I'm looking to move from Keystrokes to MDI, or at least drop down to part-time at Keystrokes and be full-time with MDI since they seem so great, and the recruiter was very, very nice! What type of platform do they use? Do you have to submit a time sheet at the end of the pay period?
Have you tried calling their office and talking with anyone?
