Guys, I haven't even been here in several weeks, I have more to do lately than sit around here. Someone just wrote me and let me know I was being accused.

I'm really sorry that people believe that I'm behind everything, that's so paranoid and ridiculous and more evidence as to me having done the right thing.

If you actually read my posts, you can see that I never once bashed Transcend, I just said that I used to love them and was no longer happy there and wanted to see if anyone else felt the same way, and was trying to do that on here so I WOULDN'T stir up trouble within the workplace.

I'm sorry you think it's the same two or three people, but the fact is, I didn't know how JMO was and she didn't know who I was until AFTER we started posting.  There were only three people at most whom I had ever discussed things with, one of which is happy with Transcend mostly still, but that's just it...we DISCUSS things rationally and we listen to each other, weigh the pros and cons given our individual situations.

Management has now seen every post that's ever been on here made by me, and even THEY say there was nothing negative about them in particular, they just deleted one particular post that revevaled who I was, and the worst one was towards Michelle, which I apologized for.

If people are using me as some sort of scapegoat, that's unhealthy and a little scary. Grow up and stop playing the blame game, it's a waste of time and unproductive, and just fix the problem.

Scapegoating one or two people based on wild assumptions is proof positive to me that I have done the right thing.

There were worse posts than me on this forum about Transcend before I got here and there were worse ones after, and in fact, the two sides (and the middle people like me - which I was, in fact) shared and laugh and it was over. Give it a rest.

Say whatever you like, I'm for freedom of speech, but please stop dragging me back into it...I'm gone and I'm happy, end of story.

I sincerely wish you all well and I'm glad you're happy...if you're so happy, why keep this game going?

Hi All,

I am working with a company that is in the formation stages and was trying to get input so we could put together a very competitive package for MTs.  I know average line rates, etc. but wanted input on experiences anyone has had with regards to QA policies - do companies penalize for bad quality and, if so, how much?  Same with turnaround time.  The more details you can provide, the better.

Thanks for any feedback!

Now in order to be paid for holidays you have to have at least 98% QA score for the previous 6 months.  I understand how quality counts but if you are counted off for any moronic thing which is usually the case because there is no consistency whatsoever with OSi QA dept. you will not be paid for holidays within 6 month period. You must also meet minimum line requirements and it doesn't matter if there is no work, low work or PTO.  I cannot believe that if there is no work prior to a holiday you won't be paid for the holiday.  Just another way to rip off the MTs who are the bread to the butter of this company. Fortunately I have never had a QA problem but I have run out of work on more than one account.  This is one more reason I have decided to give OSI a big kick in the behind, BYE BYE OSI.  GOOD GRIEF!

we get. There is no "getting used" to the program that is taking our line counts. Very familiar with DQS, have all normals/short cuts in place, very fast typist, and DQS "eats up lines". MedRite did not do that to us. Why do you think MQ changed to DQS ? -- so that the MT's would get more lines per hour ?   NOT !

Ditto to your post.  This new compensation plan is insane.  I am now having to work 12 hours a day instead of 8, while all the while making less $.  I probably make less than the greeters at Wal-Mart.  They expect us to be on standby during our scheduled shift, yet there is no work, and we are not compensated for this time with no work.  Now I have work at midnight and on weekends in order to get my quota, and end up working what should be paid as overtime.  I am going to call the labor board in my state because this cannot be legal.   I suggest we all do the same. 

Yes, they seem to have put in place a director of OPs that came from MQ, only to now be doing her damage at SPi.  I understand she is also busy putting into place managers from MQ, so it is obvious what her agenda is...to mimic MQ, so we know where the direction of SPi is going, and it seems to hold true with this new comp plan.

In a matter of 18 months, SPi has successfully turned what was once a well-respected, successful company with a talented team of MTs and mangers that was once Cymed and turned it into a cold, disorganized machine.  They have had to have have lost millions in revenue with all the clients and MTS who have quit them due to poor service and disorganization, including ongoing unresolved IT issues.  It's almost as if they want to fail!

Folks, it's tiime we all stand up for what is right and make someone pay attention. What is a transcription company without transcriptionists?  We are not slaves and we do have options.  If SPi wants to be another MQ, then let's let them have it and see where they end up in the court system.  

I have been in this profession long enough to know that you can be successful at whatever you do by working hard, treating people with respect, and never compromising your integrity, a virtue that is foreign to SPi.  I for one am sick for us all at the latest turn of events and am going to spend this time when there are no jobs available making the necessary calls and then submit my resignation.  

Let's all stand together and see how long this compensation plan works for them when there is no one to do the little work they have.   They may have people offshore who will do it for even less than the slave wages they are paying us, so I say let them have it and suffer the consequences when what business they have left walks out the door.
