That website tells me a lot - NOT

Do you always believe what your employer tells you?
I worked for a local company and transcribed university hospital and VA reports. The company was pretty busy - 100 MTs across the country and the owner whined all the time about how he couldn't make ends meet and couldn't pay MTs more - blah, blah, blah - but I certainly never got any tissues out during these meetings. We found out from the bookkeeper later that the company charged and got18 cents per line and that was 6 years ago. Then he increased his charge to a large account the next contract bid and lost it and and didn't have the guts to lay off by senority and just let everyone keep working with promises they were seeking new accounts that didn't happen very quickly at all while we were all out of work and scrapping to find what we could. It is called GREED.
Agree, unless OP tells them, they will never know.

In my opinion, take what MQ tells you with
x
it tells you your tier rate
on the sheet that comes with thepacket. If you are a Tier 2 like me when I wanna be a Tier 3 I have to test. That's for everyone. I don't know about new hires as SE's are changing to new hire with 8 or 16 or 24 hour work week. Maybe an SE can answer this who has the packet, I am full time.
Control I tells me I have no right to access (sm)
Isn't it that way for all? I'm new at this.
This just tells me that this service owner does not know how
to handle her money. This 30-day thing or 45-day thing is because they do not have the money in the bank to pay. Every GOOD service owner should have at least two entire pay periods in the bank for payroll. They should not wait until they are paid by their customers. Bad bad business. I would never work for a company that withheld pay ever again. Yes, I have BTDT! I think we all have learned the hard way.
if noone tells her? Will she keep repeating her sorry work

Oh yeah...I can beat that one...How about the IT guy who tells who...
that the company has massively overhired on the account that you were just hired for. Hmm...could that be the reason why I have no money to buy my kids any Christmas gifts this year???!!! 9 months to go and I will never go near this transcription bullcrap ever again!!! This is my last Christmas ever again that I can't buy my kids any Christmas gifts!!!
This is what I am leaning toward. This is what my heart tells me.
I guess it is my brain that is all confused. Your help here is truly appreciated, it echos that small voice we are supposed to listen to in hard times....
Well, that tells us nothing, Care to elaborate w/o yelling? SM
I worked on it for radiology and it was wonderful.
how childish.
your name "just me" tells me how minute you feel,
WHO in the world would call themselves, Just Me. Like I am a nobody; a brainless unimportant to be hear is a Just me.
I read the article, it states exactly what the company always tells us...
that they offshore a small percentage of their work, and that it will never take the place of their domestic MLS. I love working at Transcend.
For someone that doesn't work at Transcend, you sure have gone to a lot of trouble to find the article and continue posting about it. Any other issues?
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.
When a company tells you you'll tripple your line count

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

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...
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.
oops..had a brain freeze.
MQ does provide equipment. not sure, however, if PT flex is provided with equipment or not.
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

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?
Oops,meant making "more" (brain lapse)

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)

People at TT have been paid! People who haven't well, maybe you did not make count and your check
after insurance deduction. Maybe your bank is holding it. Maybe anything! But we GOT PAID. This is NO LIE. And I am sick of this board. Nothing but disgruntled exemployees arguing with employees who like their job. Ugggg. I am working. BTW: THERE IS WORK (clears throat) remember that? Work?
Keystrokes is wonderful!! They are the nicest people and care 150% about their people!!
Excellent company!!!!
I worked for SS and some people were very RUDE and I am talking about the editing people in some
instances. It ALL depends on the person, as it does with any company. They paid on time and the lady over me was very nice, but boy the person in QA was mean to EVERYONE!! Never seen anything like it before.
Are people trying to scare people or just tell them what is happening. I am not scared just seeing
that things are changing very rapidly and not for the better for me. If I have no work and need multiple accounts everyone else is in the same boat now arent they that have my accounts. That is how people know what is going on.
Maybe due to the people that manage Amherst. I think MQ would be a lot better off finding new people
up there with all the problems you hear about that office. Seems like something is very very wrong there.
I doubt it. There are more happy people than unhappy people sm
at Medquist. I've checked out other companies but I liked MQ the best (I kept working at MQ while testing other companies).
SO right! People who get paid to bring people on-board -sm
to these companies (few, if any, are 100% honest, it seems), are going to be honest and tell you anything that isn't rosy and sugar-coated. Having a good prospective MT walk because the company isn't so great means less green dollars in their bank account every month. They're not going to tell us anything that DOESN'T make them more money.
More people will come into VR because the qualifcations to do MT are not the same. Lots of people w
to work at home. It's all relative to what you are used to. The nationals are counting on this. I think MTs will work cheaper rather than reenter the work force with no other skills than MT. The nationals are counting on this.
They named people's names. That is not right. People just sm
need to keep from naming names. I thought it was an informative bit of information, but when you name names, then posts are way out of line.
I would really like to see a truly professional way of talking about a company. I don't care what board you go to, somehow people just do not want to play nice when it comes to talking about people. If those people could learn to be a little more professional and stop posting names to their wrath or anger, then that will be the day I can say I am proud to be in this profession. When I see those types of things, it makes my skin crawl. If it were me being talked about, I would be livid. I certainly understand why the posts were deleted.
Thank you for saying that. Most people here just love to trash people.
It is against board rules though.
Heartland - we take care of our people people
I meant in quotation marks, not parentheses.
For people at MDI-MD that say they are out of work, I see they are hiring now. Are people still
running out of work or did they get more accounts. I am interested in this company.
Honestly, people some people are lazy...
plain and simple, sad but true.
Dont kid yourself that people dont know what is going on. Do you honestly think these office people
dont talk. Maybe you should make sure you know what you are talking about before you open your mouth.
