new accounts that are going live each week. All that hype that Transcend values its employees is just words on paper, but has never been put into practice.

You need to leave due to lack of work. Put in your 2-wk notice and move on. Gotta earn a living! nm

Big Deal... more people should move
a schedule as an IC status. It's illegal... tired of it! 
Nice people. I constantly ran out of work and had to move on. nm

Probably some people will move on and the company saves on benefit pkgs. (sm)
Telling us work is coming in at some time in the future is fine, but right now we have lost more than we have gained and like you said, if we speed up we will run out quicker. Not to mention that we will all have to work a little harder in order to make nearly the same as we did before. Panic will make our fingers work even faster.
Remember the memo we got about over-editing. Bet your butt we won't be over editing in the future. If this ISR is so good, it shouldn't need too much now should it?
I know 14 people who want to leave OSi

Why did the MQ people leave?
Try googling the words MQ and LAWSUITS and see what has happened to this company over the past few years. Not pretty.
Don't worry. Next week, the bitter people will move on to attacking another company. It is just
you watch this board, you will see a pattern. One a week. Have to shred the reputations of good companies to bits just to feel good about being unhappy in general. I wonder sometimes if these people job hop constantly, even work at all, or work for the company they are bashing. Maybe it's just sick fun for those with no outside lives :)
Amphion have a lot of people leave? sm
Did more people leave? I do not see that work has picked up that huge of an amount. I am really tired of jumping accounts. Anyone else?
IMO, so many people have quit, they leave
the names on there to pretend everyone is still with them! Either that or they are so disorganized no one knows who actually works there and who doesn't.
If you leave, they win. Some of these people can get really nasty...sm
especially when you bite back, but if all the nice decent people leave, the nasties win, and we no longer have a place to come and help each other out, blow off some steam, and have a laugh or 2.
It is probably just a few nasty people. They hide like cowards behind name changes, and pop on and off, but if you pay attention to what they say and how they write, you see the pattern and who they are.
There are a couple who are particularly nasty. You just have to either bite them back, kill em with kindess or just totally ignore them. They do it just to push your buttons, so you really should not let them run you off completely. There have been a few times I have let these people get to me, and I swore I would never come back here, but I really like the nice people who are here, and even though I have many years experience, I am a humble person and know I can always learn something. This board can teach you a lot. The helpful people here have provided fantastic web sites and information you just can't find anywhere else.
SO THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO ARE HELPFUL AND KIND!
Once people started to leave last year
and the company was up for sale and more office employees started to leave, we should have seen it coming. All the red flags were present I just didn't want to believe it..such a sad day..I wonder if anyone will work this week?
I'm probably 1 of 3 people to ever leave TransTech over a year ago.

I don't work there anymore, but I know people who do, and she did not leave. pls r/o
That person has not left the company, and she is still wreaking havoc. LOL
Old posts had people not getting paid money due them when they decided to leave. nm

Lots of people are happy with them, but you DO have to "clock out" every time you leave your

Nice people, easy clinic work, leave you alone, but low pay. nm

As your accounts move to India, they move you to another account. NM

Great people to work for, but I had to leave due to lack of work. Hopefully that has changed. SM
Most of us who do not live in California had to go IC. When I was there, they did not have statutory status, although they told me they did when they hired me. Their pay for VR is VERY low, not a living wage. Many of the folks in the office are ex-YOG and great to work for/with. Good luck.
You may have to move on to move ahead (sm)
One way to look at what you are doing right now is more training only you are being paid for it; once you have a year or two under your belt as experience, you may be able to command a higher wage someplace else. It's funny, a place will pay more for someone with 2 years' experience than they will pay someone who has worked for them for 2 years! Go figure.
Move on from both! nm

Sometime you have to move on for (sm)
your own sanity. Working under constant pressure is not enjoyable. It is important for me to like my job. Unfortunately, I worked for a place and felt like we (many more than just I) were not being told the truth. I moved on and so did several others I know. The company lost a few excellent MTs in the process. I feel you get more with being straight up than moving through a thick smoke screen. Sorry this is happening to you, I've BTDT.
Why would you just move on? There are a lot of sm
accounts. You are going to base everything on a few bashers. There are over 300 MTs at KS, some who have been there for a very long time.
My advice? Ask for a different account or ask for assistance on the one you are on. They will help you but maybe you need to go over the person you asked.
I have heard that there is a lead who will not pass on information like that because she doesn't want to lose anyone on her accounts. I know that she is not going to be a lead very long either as I have heard that someone else is taking over her accounts. If you email me, I will help or at least will work to get the right person to do it. I know that it isn't one of my accounts as no one has asked for a change on either of mine and most have been on them over 2 years.
move
May be you need to move then!
Move on.
LOTS of better companies out there than TTS.
I had to move to QA
I broke my thumb playing softball and it still hurts to this day after several years. A lot of people in QA have had injuries of different sorts, but we obviously must have a bank of knowledge and a lot of experience as well. Unfortunately, I have seen some companies stick brand new MTs in QA for some odd reason, presumably because they are friends.
If you can consistently type for 8 hours without getting tired you can make more money as an MT.
One thing that we in QA have noticed is that it seems the highest producers also have the most errors, some of them critical errors. You can tell that they don't proofread or do live checks. They seem to be interested only in the money and not the quality.
MOVE ON! nm

Why not move on?
If you're that unhappy, why not just move on? There are lots of other jobs on the job board. It sounds like from your posts that you are a highly skilled MT and you obviously want to work. If MDI isn't working for you, then why not look for a new job?
I feel terrible for you that your experience is not good, but I don't understand why you stay. Consider taking another PT job with a different company. You could work it when the work is slow at MDI and if you find that it's better for you, then move on with the new job. I'm sure no company wants someone working for them that is that unhappy.
I know that making a change is hard, but it sounds like it's harder for you to stay than it would be to move on. Not every company fits everybody. You deserve to be happy. 
If not able to do the job, the MTs should move on
I have never worked at a job where I was asked to do so much work I could not do it. Maybe lack of get up and go or slow MTs, who knows? Why do you get the MTs are being disrespected? They can't do their job, we work production. We all put up with dictators who cannot speak clearly, chew, snort, ESLs. That is the way it has been and will be. The dictators are not changing for us. That person needs to probably find another profession.
Yeah, why would she move on??
She can belittle employees all she wants, does not answer e mails, sends snot grams on a regular basis and steal lines from the employees to fatten her own pockets.
That is a very smart move...
Perhaps that would be a better strategy for me.
This is a great move.
I believe of freedom of expression and we are just expressing ourselves. This problem must not prevail.
Yikes move on....
If this is how they hire people, imagine when it's payday!
Move on quickly...
There are other great companies out there. This really touched me, you sound like a single mom who is trying to just make the best for her kids. I feel for you! I, too, am trying to raise two kids, but work for a great national even though there has been a lot said of that, but they have been good to me. Don't feel like where you are at is the only option. There are many other places out there, just start looking and working at home really isn't so bad! Good luck to you!
Did HIP move to Georgia?
or do they have more than one office location now? Thanks!
Might have to make a move
Can you tell me how many lines you can produce a day with your Medware account and what the going line rate is for someone with 5 years experience?
No way would I take a cut for AVR. I'd rather type. Move on.

I really wish MTs would move on when a company does this to them.
I know a company who has been pulling this crap for 5 years now stating the same sorry story over and over. By 5 years, they really should have the bugs worked out, but, oh wait, she bought another new car and put in a hot tub.
Bottom line, if they are not paying on time, move on. If everyone would respect their work enough not to tolerate this more than twice, then eventually all the crap companies would either fade away or would make the necessary changes to stay in business. I really believe the MTs who continue to put up with this are perpetuating the problem. my 2 cents
Good move
Moving to Transtech would be a very good move!
Stupid move
Just because they are hiring does not always mean they currently have the work. I was with a company that was waiting for a certain type of transcription that I do. Even though the company did not yet have the transcription, they were advertising for MTs for that type of work. My sister said that do that so that they can be prepared. I am sure you made a smart move because more than likely they still wont have work to give their MTs.
Shut up and move on.
Geez.
move to another account
I tried that. After trying to break through the wall of disbelief that I wasn't making great lines. I was told by mgt *I'll get back to you about that on Monday*. Never heard another word.
Good move
I have been there for just over 2 months and love it. They are the best company I have ever worked for in my 6 years in this field. I'm sure you'll love it.
consider that is how they do business and move on!

So if I move from the Q to Diskriter, I can put if

Making a move?
Has anybody heard of Diskriter and if so do you know if they are a good company to work for. Their site looks interesting and their benefits look good. Thanks!
TransTech. Best move ever!

Me 2!! I just started! Best move
Do they still move the end of the pay period whenever they like.
They weren't bad to work for but that drove me crazy. I had it in my mind that the end of the pay period was on Sunday so I would work my schedule around that. So say on Friday I would think, Great, 2 more days on this pay period just to find out they were cutting it off on Saturday. I believe this was some bizarre attempt to be able to make payroll by cutting the pay periods short. I could understand if it was once or twice but it happened too many times and I find that made me nervous and wondering why you would changes pay periods so quickly without real notice. The company I work for now has their pay period dates set in stone for the whole year so I know exactly when the pay period ends and when I get paid.
I would take it as a sign and move on. NM
