Freeze
I'm not sure when they started the hiring freeze, but I was hired in July of last year.
Hiring freeze
I do know that as of about a month ago, they were having a hiring freeze.
It does freeze up. Have you tried not using highlighter
xx
with the freeze and wondering why you would place
x
bank account freeze
To anyone out there who is considering working for Preferred Transcriptions in Pennsylvania, I would say, keep far, far away.
My bank recently notified me of a 15-day hold on a check of theirs due to the account being frozen which means that it has a hold on it due to creditors. On top of that, they never pay on time. Most companies will pay in two weeks but here it is always at least three weeks after submission of invoice.
Have had no satisfaction from the company who are basically putting it on me. They said the check has cleared but refuse to provide documentation and are now ignoring my e-mails.
Will probably have to go to small claims court and just maybe, I will get my money. javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');
Think MTSO would toss resume with freeze on

I thought there was a hiring freeze. Curious
xx
hired right before they instituted hiring freeze sm
Right now work is kinda slow across the board, most places I have worked are always a little slower in the summer. I have been getting my lines, but having to work a little harder and be a little more flexible for them, but there are times when I can get a few hours of OT if I want them.
I think it shows excellent judgment on WMX part not to overhire just because they have a few good applicants apply. It makes me feel like they are more worried about their current MTs. I left my last job because that is exactly what they did, and then expected me to work crazy hours to make up my lines (I have small kids and need a babysitter to work--and I can't pay one to sit at my house when work might come through or ask her to stay 24/7 because there might be a few lines I could grab here and there ,)
I really only have good things to say (so far) about WMX, I think they would definitely be worth waiting on. And before I get flamed, I am not management, just somebody who has worked in few Hades holes, and like being talked to like a person again (and paid like somebody who might have a little bit of knowledge--instead of like a high school kid flipping burgers).
Hell will freeze over before YOU can make your job *work* with TransTech. Out of your control !!!
I don't know who has ruined this wonderful company, but E is one of them !!! Of course, D is in control of everything, so just amazed at the condition of TT now.
Use your brain, please...
If you really believe you can make more money working directly for the client, then do that. Or, better yet, go out and find your own clients and see how much they are willing to pay for MT services.
My brain......
I have 17 years of acute care experience. I work at home for a large 350-bed hospital, along with doing clinic for KS. I also do maternal-fetal medicine for another company. I would put my brain up against yours any day. Sometimes having a change, such as clinic, helps to give the brain a rest when spending a day with ops and maternal-medicine reports (which by the way is not easy work). Don't judge me just because of an observation I have made. I have been where hospitals and companies don't assign work out in the hopes certain people will leave. My advice to you, if you don't like it, find something else instead of complaining about it on here.
It is Sunday, my brain's day off.

You don't any brain cells...
Go back in your cave and stop trashing a good company. After 4 yours, have had nothing but a great experience. Time for you to hit the pharmacy for you meds as you obviously need it.
Maybe not only low work but low brain? LOL nm
x
Maybe you don't have the brain power...Or,
Ever consider those possibilities, hun?
Food for thought, anyway.
It's a Brain Drain all right!
I don't really care how much money corporations have invested in VR, ASR, whatever they want to call it, I'm voting with my feet. I'm getting re-educated in a different field and leaving transcription as soon as it is feasible. In the meantime, I am actively seeking IC work that is straight transcription.
JUST SAY NO TO VR!
Engage YOUR brain please...
It is most certainly a pay cut. I have worked on ChartMatrix and can tell you that this software is slower. I did not see any improvement whatsoever in the quality of the SR that I did on that software compared to what we are working with now. I would have to be able to consistently do more than 350 lph with the new software in order for it not to be a pay cut based on what I am making now with our current ISR. In the example she provided the MT was only doing about 280 or so LPH with the ISR, correct? I know it was NOT over 300...
that tells me some people don't know how to use their brain.

LOL tired brain too. That s/b More week nm
gone back to bed - but i understand about brain being off
Sunday is the only day I dont use punctuation, too.
Oh my...Ever get a word stuck in your brain...sm
that you know is wrong, but you use it anyway? That is what happened there. How embarrassing.
Its going offshore because so many brain-dead MTs
admittedly don't care if the company they work for offshores. I refuse to work for any company that offshores. I am an AMERICAN and until every American has adequate work, I say, keep our work here. We are being the authors of our own demise by our I have got mine kinds of selfish attitudes.
LOL, it has occured to me I had a brain fart!...
When the coordinator mentioned getting a copy of my license she probably was talking about my driver's license/ID. 
TRANSCEND - Sorry - too many trans on the brain
 xx
Anyone with half a brain knows why they lost the account.
I know why, but I don't understand why. It is like they did it on purpose. Why not just sell-out to start with, why let it get to the point that it did and have their name smeared everywhere (let me say justly so). I know there are still MTs who don't know all the details and I myself probably don't know all of them, but I know lots of details and they aren't pretty.
Big MT...we're sharing the same brain waves again
That's my definition of IC as well. I used to have that position with MQ, but with all of their changes I'm...well...looking elsewhere. I have no problems with promising a number of lines as long as I don't have to do them at a specific time. Things happen, especially when you have kids, but if you have the work ethic you'll still get things done, just not at a specific time. Agree with the pool as well. You'll never have a great line count unless you have consistent dictators. If anyone believes differently, I don't think they've seen how fab your line count can be with the same dictators. Anyway, it sounds like you work for a wonderful place with all the things I'm looking for, i.e., 24-hour TAT and consistent dictators. Would you mind sharing where and if they would by chance have openings you know of? You can email if you don't want to post it. Don't worry, I'm not thinking I'd start at that cpl--I'm sure you had to work up to that:-) I'm really just looking for the other perks.
"After 4 yours" ? eh? Who doesn't have brain cells now? nm

Sorry for the typo/brain fluff-offense
nm
I can't figure out how to use the shorthand properly (brain dead I guess) (sm)
Maybe I haven't taken enough time to learn it (I can be a bit impatient with myself), but I seem to have a mental block and have about given up. I used to have Smartype with my old system (before DQS) and wonder if it worked with Vianeta. Anyway, anyone out here, what do you use other than the ShortHand that comes with it?
OMG, Correction, brain fart, Axolotl doesn't run out and if they so you get paid. nm

ps: Please excuse typos! "Hands-working-faster-than-brain syndrome!" haha (nm)
