AMEN SISTER/BROTHER!!! nm
I agree. Whoever is responsible for this crappy platform and at the cost (I believe) of $1 million screwed up royally!!!
oh brother

Oh brother
This is sad, when they cannot even spell things correctly in an ad.
It isn't even run my MTs. The CEO and his brother
are in it for the $$, but have never transcribed a day in their lives and don't have a clue about the business. Unfortunately they hire management who also don't have a clue, despite having some knowledge/experience with MT.
brother!
you forgot to put in there after your long novel, not to toot my own horn or anything. Please, spare us.
OH BROTHER
Someone has something NICE to say for a change about their company and they want to tell the rest of us about and you guys have to act like jerks! Maybe she wanted to tell all about DR and how nice they are. Maybe you guys can't handle the fact that your companies did give you a bonus? I think some people are jealous and are handling it BADLY! You guys only want to hear the bad, negative, gossip about a company. Only then are you happy. What a shame.
Merry Christmas OP and God Bless. Happy B-Day Jesus!
Oh brother....there is always one isn't there. sm
Grow up! 
Oh Brother
Here we go again. Float checks. Well, aren't we just little Ms. Perfect. I haven't had a bounced check in 16 years, so don't need to redeem yourself to me. I have a backup account in case my TT DD is not in on time, so I DO have a backup plan. As for communication, TT communicates better than ANY company I have ever worked for in the past. Maybe the lack of communication is on YOUR end. Have you ever thought about picking up a phone and calling THEM if you have a question. WOW...what a concept.
Here's what my brother-in-law said
I said, wow you must do a lot of digging... he said no that's what the Mexicans are for. So you tell me?
We had 3 bids for our landscaping around our pool at our old house. We picked the Mexican business and not only because they were cheaper, but they were smarter and they had better ideas. It took them one day, where others said it would take a week. So please, let's not go there. I would recommend this landscaping business we used to anyone and everyone. They were very professional unlike the pool installers who had to use my bathroom and asked me for soda, yes soda, not water, but they wanted soda!!!!
oh brother
These lines at TT are defintely more difficult to accomplish. Promise.
Oh Brother
YOU must be one of the ones that just wants to work on one slow account. There's plenty of work and a huge amount now. Stop being so lazy and work and passing judgment and saying things that aren't true on a company that you are obviously still with. Or you can always go elsewhere. Yeah, that's the ticket, go somewhere else.
oh brother...
One of my jobs is working for a nephrology clinic for 3 docs. I am the only one who types for them. Sorry, I'm valuable to them. I also do acute care combined with outpatient and rad. I suck at operative reports but love rad. There are others whom I work with love OPs but can't do rad. They are valuable with OPs, I am valuable with rad. Therefore, we are ALL valuable. Heller??
oh brother...nm

I bet you believe in the Big Brother theory too!
So you are saying that the moderator and administrator of this board specifically search through the posts and delete any negative posts about Transcend? They do this why? Why do they not do this for every other company talked about on this board? Please, add something substantial to the conversation!
Oh brother, how unprofessional are they?
Ask to speak to the QA supervisor and collect all the e-mails you are getting with conflicting ways to nit-pick. Show her the e-mails and tell her you are confused. You would be happy to do what they want, but you are being pulled in different directions. If she is not accommodating, look for another job. Who needs that grief?
That would be hear... oh brother...
then here... why did I even get out of bed today? LOL.
Oh brother. No, many MT companies will NOT
be using it because it is a ripoff & a one-third reduction in pay, unless of course you raise the line rate 33% to make it level ground again, and in that case, what on earth would be the point?! Sounds like someone could possibly be laying the groundwork to pocket a 33% bigger profit margin though... A couple of MT companies I know of have tried this in the past & have since gone back to paying a regular 65-char line with spaces.
Well what is in Oldsmar, just the husband and brother?
The website and checks say the Palm Harbor address.
my brother is right Trust is always earned.

Brother, read it first before putting out a sad face. nm

Dont know who died but Oh Brother has my vote.

You take the Geritol and start typing, Missy. Big brother is watching! They
Can't put up with that kind of bull from my employer!
My husband and his brother have a business with a small office that has 12 people in it.
I do the books for them. The electric bill is over $4000 every month. The lease is $5200. The phones are $3200. The list goes on and on with overhead, not including payroll, totally over $20,000 per month.
I respect that the company I work for has overhead and am grateful that THEY have to deal with it, not me. Otherwise, I would have started on my own.
Oh, brother. You "believe" she handed the phone to someone. Jeeze. You're so credible!

You said it sister
Honey..just go get yourself a job in house somewhere so you can get paid by the hour even when the census is low. This happens everywhere this time of year.EVERYWHERE..I'VE been doing this crap for 30 plus years...EVERYWEHRE honey! and dont give me no &_^)* about spelling because off time I don't worry about it
right on, sister!
i think you made excellent points in an intelligent way!
I must say the thing that bothers me is when I see a post that says, Hey, has anyone heard of ______? and in reply, you get anonymous responses like, STAY AWAY! or RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN! or HORRIBLE, EVEN WORSE THAN ______!!!!!
What I would prefer to see is Run as fast as you can BECAUSE _________ i.e. didn't pay on time, run out of work every day, all the accounts suck, etc. I think this correlates directly with the points you made. As hard as it is to believe, some people with family obligations, mental health issues, drug and alcohol problems don't always mind if they run out of work an hour or two before their shift is over, especially the people who are manic and did 2000 lines in 3 hours. So those people might be interested in a job that runs out of work, know what I mean?
To me, that is bashing, just where you see THEY SUCK, RUN AWAY!!!! It doesn't address the differences between companies and MTs like you so astutely mention.
You said it sister. There is nothing
It actually makes you more accessible to new accounts. If people see your face, they know you and will usually spread the word. 
Right on sister!
She must have told the truth.
I'm with you, sister, but
there will always be SOMEONE who undercuts or is willing to accept less. That's why we are in the predicament we are in. Fortunately for me, I don't do MT FT anymore and am not dependent upon it as an income.
Others will do whatever they have to do to pay the bills. They haven't come to the realization they can make more at McDonald's versus accepting the insultiningly low pay of 6-7 cpl for an experienced & highly skilled MT.
You said it, sister!!!
Great post. What's that old saying, the only fear is fear itself? I haven't had much coffee yet this am, so my brain isn't quite fully functional.
To the OP, I can't speak for MDI, but I do work for Landmark on a clinic account. They have been great to work for. Clinic work being what it is, there have been a couple of moments where the work slowed down - around the Christmas Holidays and then about 2 weeks ago when apparently half the staff was out sick. I had a lot of really hoarse dictators the next week. I also was able to catch up all my lines over the weekend when two of the docs started catching up on 4 months worth of dictation, so I didn't end up being that short after all.
The people at Landmark have been great and QA is wonderful - really easy to work with.
you go sister
You reminded me to be nice - you are darn right-- you just don't know what may be going on in a person's life and we don't need to add more _rap to it. Great comment.
wasnt this Lee's sister in law?
q
My sister wants to go into transcription.....
Does anybody have any recommendation on a good school --- I don't care to hear the negative - just the good stuff.
Thanks!
Amen sister!...nm

Amen, sister...sm
I hear ya sister
This is a rough profession. Everyone gets so excited when they hear we work from home, but don't know about the difficulty we can have achieving stability and peace of mind!
My sister is an RN and makes sm
She has the associates degree.... She makes $27.50 hr base pay she has been a nurse for about 3 maybe 4 years..... hope that helps
Amen sister
You said it.
AMEN SISTER
Totally agree with you. I love Transcend.
AMEN SISTER!!
I am scheduled 7-12 and will probably be hanging around for a couple of jobs here and there since everyone took advantage of the extra $$$$ leaving me with hardly any jobs and those jobs are my secondary LOL
Don't know about your sister, but try it yourself, then comment.

My sister works there....sm
She absolutely loves the Cornerstone platform, loves it, loves it! It's MT friendly I guess, and she loves it. Yes, I say loves it so much because I think she said it about 50 times in one minute while she was talking about it! lol Once she got used to it, she...you guessed it...loved it. (hehe) :) She said her production is really good on it.
Amen sister - you said it all NM

You tell 'em sister....
Cuz I'm just a grinch and have poverty of the soul because I didn't provide comfort and joy as what some perceive to be what the OP wanted. Pity party is what she wanted and yes at this point I'm beating a dead horse, which is maybe what I'll call myself now.
As for the OP, I guess he got off her a$$ and finally made that call since according to all of the posters that supposedly support her claim she worked 24 hours in one day to get her lines in. Now that deserves pity!
I stand by what I say, and I mean what I say. If the OP wanted pats on the back and awwww so sorry, then so be it. What I said is true when there's no work I don't sit on my a$$ and wait at all hours of the night and day, I look for another job. Fortunately, I haven't had to do that.
And yes, NY MT is correct in that everyone wants their cake and eat it too. What took the OP so long to make that call and get those back up accounts? It took for me to shake her up! But you all got her back now, so she'll be just fine!
Tell 'em sister...
if the money in the paycheck is green, it will spend.
Furthermore, no one knows who off shores or not. There could be companies that say they do not off shore, but they do. How would we know? I say if the pants fit right, keep them on and walk around like you own the place instead of worrying about something that is not in our control.
Furthermore, just because a company advertises no off shore applicants does not necessarily mean they do not off shore. It just means they also hire US MTs.
AMEN SISTER!!!
:) Stand up for yourselves!!! We are not mice!!! :)
Amen, Sister!!
This whole argument is just beyond ridiculous. I can not believe ANYONE would try to defend this nonsense.
If it was okay, then MTs would not get written up and fired for doing it. Period. End of argument.
My sister worked for them
out of Greenville, Texas. She liked it, they were dependable with work and paychecks.
My sister is an RN and we make just about the same.
I have much more freedom. I make my own schedule and am left alone to do my work in the comfort of my office. She has to deal with the nasty staff and rude doctors. She is constantly getting told she has to do mandatory overtime because someone called in or the census is up and they need the coverage. Of course, they don't tell her until about an hour or two before her shift is up and she is looking forward to going home. Regardless of if she has plans, she has to stay and work and just cancel everything else. This seems to happen at least once a week. I don't know how nurses with families do it. From what I have seen, nursing is not flexible at all when you work at the hospital. She had to work overnights for the first few years and then work her way to evenings and now is at least finally on a day shift. My sister's job makes her extremely stressed and she dreads going to work most days. I had thought about nursing when she first started because I heard about the good wages, but now that I hear what she is going through, no way. I will stick with MT for now. Sometimes a little extra cash isn't worth it (especially because she is only earning a bit more because of all the OT she has to put in).
