how are you supposed to work and watch your mail all the time to play a stupid contest?

In Reply to: Transcend is playing games, giving gift cards - Transcender
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.

Yes, but there is play time and there is work time. sm
You volunteer. Awesome!! As long as you are volunteering during nonwork time that is great or during time that you have scheduled to be off. Again all great!!! We all have to take off with our kids when they are sick. Did it today as I had both at home and took PTO time for it. If you do these things in this manner, no big deal, but I am talking about the ones who constantly do not showw up for work and have excuses as there are more of them than there are of people who actualy take this job seriously.
As far as retirment from the other poster.... please. I am nowhere even close but I can say the downfall of this business is NOT because it is going overseas. It is because we do not have well trained American MTs. I have been here for 18 years. I have watched it go down. It is sad but we can't change it YET!
I guess our clue is supposed to be when we run out of work all the time?

I always think that the topic of my e-mail must imply that I am incredibly stupid
nm
Odd way of doing business. Most places dont have time to play those games. They just get rid
of people and move on.
Okays guys - ask a stupid question - get a stupid answer!!

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!
IMO, I would never work without someone to watch (sm)
my kids (or at least work when they are asleep). I know a few people that do this with small kids, and it is really shocking to me. They leave their kids alone all day to watch t.v. or play alone with toys while they work.
I am not by any means an advocate of daycare (my children have never been), but daycare is a much better option than ignoring your children for hours at a time. I have an 18-month-old and a 3-year-old, and I never work unless they are sleeping or my husband is here to watch them. JMO
Yep, it will eventually happen; just don't be stupid like I was and train them to do YOUR work.
You will eventually knock yourself out of your job if you allow it. Don't agree to it, don't allow it, and don't train ANYONE not even a backup MT, and most importantly DO NOT edit. Once they get it down, bye bye to you it will be.
Good luck to anyone going through this with Medware. I feel for you as this happened to me in the past as well back when I made real good money and cannot ever make that now.
You absolutely must contest it - SS is probably
betting/hoping you won't contest and then they are off the hook for paying.
Did they not specify what constituted misconduct?
Make sure you print out all emails in case something happens to your computer. Specifically, if you have evidence you were terminated because of 'production' they may have a hard time explaining why the reason changed.
The bad thing about this is that contracts are often vague for a reason - 'misconduct' may not have been well described in company guidelines.
Bottom line - if you know there was no misconduct, fight them on it - don't just give in. Best of luck.
or a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest (nm)
If you mean MDI Maryland, no contest. Great company. NM

Just click on Play then click on Play again to pause dictation
I'm working in Bayscribe right now and that appears to be the only way to do it.
Play to play
Play again to pause
Play again to start play again
Hope that helps.
If you worked there, during the time that the e-mail was sent sm
you should have received.
Supposed to be easy work, but you won't ever get more than 8 cpl. How it was, anyway..nm
s
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
x
Same here. When there is no work, how are you supposed to make the requirement
asd
Why were you supposed to start work at noon?
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!
Is it okay to not receive any mail from the office for a few days at a time? (sm)
Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Had been getting memos quite frequently and now nothing since last week. Didn't want to call the office and look like a boob, so thought I would check here first. TIA.
TSI now SoftMed was supposed to be atrocious with their DOS software and cut-and-paste work. Any

I did work for them and you were not even supposed to speak about an acct to anyone that worked ther
nm
Good & bad posts in the past. Must work 1 Sat. a month. Supposed to be gross line pay. Some days

Thank you! I'm looking for part-time work to supplement my no-work full-time job.

Anyone work for CMT of CA -e-mail me
nm
Used to work for them, got the same e-mail...
I used to work for them and I received the e-mail stating now is the time to come back. They are not the #1 transcription company in the nation, and if they do have 85+ hospitals, where are they? I spoke to one American the whole time I worked for them..QA, team leaders, etc...all are Indian!! They tried to correct work that was already correct. They did not know what they were doing! How can they be QA and fixing OUR work when English is not their primary language? IMO, they are not a very professional company, and if someone spoke up just once to tell the nation about this company, I can guarantee there would not be a focus infomatics.
I'm lookin for part-time work (about 3-4 hrs daily) after 13 years of full-time, anyone know of a
company that is hiring flexible part-time? I'm starting a career in real estate but don't want to totally quit transcription, but I think most places require 25 hours a week and I cant work weekends, as real estate sales are the biggest on the weekend with open houses and people off work to shows homes to. If you know of a place I'd sure appreciate the info. Thanks!

Thank you for trying but this site is so screwed up, I don't feel comfortable posting it. Seems like no one knows what is going on.

They were not limiting anything.

I work IC for a company who pays by check in mail
Never had a bounced check either. I can see why you would worry though. Maybe they will do the switch eventually.
Anyone work for Excel Transcription out of IL - send me an e-mail nm
nm
I was a little troubled by that e-mail, too. The funny thing is, I work
an IC job that supplements my pay, and I got a call just Monday because I had not met my producton goal there. Apparently another vice president decided to earn a check this week...LOL.
No matter how much they jump up and down, you cannot transcribe what is not there. I was more than happy to remind that individual I do not get paid unless I work, so not meeting goal is probably MORE critical to me.
I thought by busting my tush on 2 jobs I would be guaranteed never to run out of work, but both failed me this past holiday. For all the gymnastics, I will be working all weekend this weekend just to have a decent paycheck. Sigh.
Ugh - well I did all my work on time and I expect to be paid on time.
The phone company doesn't wait, the cable company doesn't wait, and the electric company doesn't wait for their money either - all of which I need to pay in order to do my job. I work when I am supposed to, I help when behind, and give 110%, and I ask for my check to be on time.
I think if an MTSO is going to have to mail checks they should do so priority to make up for the delay.
