possibly -- it seems to have finally shut down the endless TT threads ...

In Reply to: I think they're nothing but bullies. - nm
I was beginning to think they needed their own board ...
I wasn't following them, but my impression is that they had been going on -- in some incarnation or another -- for several week ...
who would want to work for a company with so many so unhappy employees (even if the internet notoriously distorts just how many people are represented -- since the same people -- particularly the most incensed -- post over and over and over again -- creating the impression of great throngs of angry people)
I have no idea if TT's suit has merit ... just that such suits are not unprecedented and -- aside from unlikely-to-make-much-difference memos to their employees or public notices on boards like these -- represent the only way I'm aware of to defend one's good name.
If this served to educate the many folks here who thought that the first ammendment automatically protected them on line -- then good has already come from this.

Endless dribbles
I would have to say 95% of their MTs love the dribbles of knowing where their accounts stand. As an IC they do not owe us anything like that! No schedules, pay on time, hmmm... maybe you just like to be babysat (?) Remember the I in IC is for independent! Heck, ask them to remove you from their lists and this should take care of it!
Anyone currently with Oracle? Do they still drown you with paperwork and endless acct.

Hands down DSG - rude, ignored, run ragged on endless accounts!

you should look at some old threads - sm
There is good and bad posted about them. In the past two years, they have had A LOT - A LOT - A LOT of staff turnover in their office in Pittsburgh. They also had a little problem with not paying transcriptionists overtime (they have since had to pay them). I guess all in all, they are just like any other company, good and bad, it depends on the accounts you get.
DSG - Nasty superviser, endless account specifics changes, no support - nm

Read all threads
If you read on, you will see where I spelled it out. And also, what do you expect current employees to say? Of course they (only 2) will say good things. The negative commenters outweight the positive ones. But one only sees what one wants to.
You guys are lucky! The NPs I've had in the past were all extremely wordy and had endless dic-

Broken promises, messed up pay, endless drama. Good riddance!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read the post threads - sm
throughout this board. they are a scam. DO NOT APPLY WITH THIS COMPANY. There have been articles in magazines and internet postings about this company. THEY ARE A SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did miss the threads on this, I'm going there now to read.

Please do not post job wanted threads. (SM)
If you are looking for a job, please see our Job Seeker's board and/or post your resume on our free resume bank.
If you wish to ask questions about certain companies, please do so here on the Company board.
Otherwise, you will simply have to search for your position yourself.

This is posted down a few threads too...no luck there either.
Having read your threads over the months
and you and I corresponded back and forth some on emails, the financial picture for you might perk up a little. You could at least submit a resume and see what they are offering. Benefits are always good and working inhouse, how many now would love to have that! You know what the work situation is now, your family is older, kids grown, etc. so I definitely would say check it out!
She was very nasty in the threads yesterday to
people who just learned of the line rate cut, then indicated she was bowing out of this whole discussion after getting called on it. Someone said they didn't think she'd be gone long. Looks like they were right.
Nobody said she's not allowed to post. It's just making her look really silly.
and posts like these are why good threads are removed. Why does everything have to sm
turn so nasty all the time? Grow up. Some of us want real answers.
No. Did you miss the earlier-this-week threads on this? Check pg. 2. nm

Shut up?????
You must work for KS. All that emotional turmoil that is so obvious there and that anyone who does stay long enough will see for themselves. I have found it best to stay away from MTSO's where the drama comes from the top.
I really wish they'd shut D&L down
It's one thing if an MTSO has a rare problem with cash flow - and is up front and works to correct it.
It's another if their MODUS OPERANDI is to take the MTs hard work and then stall on the payment FOR MANY YEARS RUNNING. That's fraud, and they ought to be drummed out of business.
Shut them UP, and shut them DOWN!

Why don't you all SHUT UP.
People are loosing their TRANSCRIPTION jobs to INDIA and all you can worry about is who gets a better report?
LET IT GO!
To shut her/us up
Just to keep us quiet and entertained for awhile, IMO. I too went through the same exact circumstance when I ran out of work and asked to crosstrain. I patiently waited for the alloted time to arrive, then my liaison informed me that she had forgotten to save 5 jobs for me to train with and the account was EMPTY. I went through this 2-3 times during the training process.
I was so relieved to be getting a backup account that the OBVIOUS problem of there being no work on the backup account never occurred to me.
I think it's like putting Band-Aid on a gaping bullet hole. In other words, going through the motions of repair but much pointless.
don't worry, these kinds of heated threads always die down in a couple of days

Shut up and move on.
Geez.
WHEN will victims of D&L shut them down?
All of you should band together and let THEIR clients know they are cheating you out of your fees, and tell then you will be taking D&L to Court so they can prepared to be subpoena'd. I DOUBT DL client's will tolerate this, and may force DL to clean up their act.
I have compassion for smaller companies for short-term problems, but they did this to me, too, and that was in 2002 (or 2003)!!
Thanks. Maybe better keep my mouth shut. (sm)
My main account is one of those with boldings on and off all over the place. Really a pain on ASR work.
Unless this gets to be more than a couple of minutes at a time I will just sit back and consider myself lucky.
Thanks for your help.
I'm with quit and shut up
If TT is someone's only source of income and TT has no work, why, why, why would someone just sit back and wait for the work to come to them. You do what you need to do if it takes 2, 3 or more jobs. Family responsibilities, health, and especially sole earner, just completely idiotic to sit back and wait. No get up and go for these people. Oh, I forgot, they have a child at home so they cannot work anywhere but home.
If we shut up as you suggest....
Duh!
You won't see your money. Come together and get her shut down for good.
,
I have never been one to keep my mouth shut -this happened to me,and
I told the supervisor, who did put a stop to it. Turns out this girl was assigning herself the good work and the supe didn't watch it. However, I have also heard of other supes who just let it go, and if they did that after you mentioning it, I'd be on my way out the door, for sure.
Me too - the hospitals haven't shut down

Lordy be ssmnger you just don't when to shut up do you? sm
You are doing nothing but shooting yourself in the foot and reinforcing Former SS Employee's point!!
I thought this was mgmt also but kept my mouth shut...nm

Did Ochsner Clinic in Louisiana get shut down due to
Solution: Shut down hospitals on weekends.

If the hospital employees know, then the company knows. Keep your mouth shut and get out.

I feel your pain! I decided to shut up rather than put up and quit my company. Better places out t

Ditto! Also add that they ignore e-mails you send and send endless IMs!

Possibly...
I just took a PT IC position with Paladin Retrieval and so far so good. I believe they are still looking for acute care folks. Pay is good too.
Now, how can you possibly know that? (sm)
Seems to me 9 months is more than enough time to meet requirements. Sounds fishy to me. There's probably more to it than OP is saying.
How can you possibly say that? They are NOT going to be the next
to go. That client in NV is extremely pleased with TT and isn't going anywhere. I have been with TT for almost 5 years now and they have lost a total of 2 clients in that time. Gimme a freakin' break!
is that possibly why...
it takes a long time for that recruiter to get back with you, if she/he does?
Very possibly
Nothing is 100% sure of course. But some transcription companies are already doing this, charging more and offering quality and doing very well, especially in specialty fields. They don't advertise as much because they have lower turn over but we know who they are.
I will bet that because of increasing lawsuits and liability, hospitals are going to be a lot more careful about what becomes part of a patient's medical record. And who has access to it. As the economy gets worse, the big companies are going to cut corners more and more trying to squeeze more money out the business. They probably won't even want to be bothered when their profits go down and cut into their big CEO paychecks. First there was a glut of nurses because the hospitals didn't want to pay them. Now there is a shortage and they are going nuts trying to recruit them. There are cycles in business.
I don't want to become a mllionaire. Just make a decent living for myself and some other transcriptionist. As I said, some companies are already doing this.
possibly...
She can try RC Transcription. They have an internship. The downside is it's free. As in they do not get paid at all. But after completing the internship, they often, if they do well, get hired. Focus also has an internship. Other than that, I'm not sure of any companies that do it that way. You may want to consider giving her a letter of recommendation with the info that you are mentoring her as she works, maybe be able to get her foot in a door with a company that occasionally will take on a new MT? Good luck to her!
Could it possibly be the -
very first one, at the top of the list?
Possibly - but for whom? But even
if we lowly MTs were even offered these perks, who among use could actually afford a hybrid, or even a used jalopy, at this point?? 
No SE but possibly IC
In our call he said Transcend doesn't have a statutory employee status. They do have IC status which will be addressed on an individual basis. It's obvious they prefer folks to choose employee status but IC may be available. I've seen their ads for ICs and they require you to have a federal employer identification number. ICs also have to pay self-employment tax, which amounts to an additional 7.5% to cover the SS/Medicare match that the employer pays for SEs.
I don't know where they could possibly fit
they should change their name to 'TRANS-CRAP'.
possibly MedQuist
Maybe MedQuist? I was recently hired as a newbie. As a newbie, they want a set 40-hour schedule, but I was told that can change down the line. I'm statutory, BTW.
What about my message could possibly have come across like that?
All I did was comment on some of the rude replies to legitimate posts and ask for input on other positive MT sites.
Why the chip on your shoulder?
Possibly DTS in Tennessee. nm

Possibly Milner ? .... nm
