weren't they saying last year during
Posted By: MT week that we had over 9000 on 2008-04-07
In Reply to: On Google Finance they had under 4000 in December..total employees - not just MTs, so that number's way too high.
transcriptionists? It was part of some contest or something. Maybe that was a few years ago.

my first year I made 16k. Doubled that second year. Going on year 6 with (sm)
two local accounts I earned 23,000.00 and a national I earned 35,400... 58,400 this year. Don't ask me how many hours, though, I really have no idea. I'm pretty motivated. (When people ask me how many hours I work a week I reply as many as it takes I'd say 40-50/week. I am also a fitness instructer and personal trainer, about 5 hours a week or so. Decent money (sometimes under the table!) but mostly I just do it for fun and to be social and wear cute work-out clothes.
that first year was a rough one... but I consider it part of my education.
I'm pretty motivated.
You weren't there, you don't know..

Then you weren't there for the last pay period which should be DD on the 5th and was not done unt

And like I said, if you weren't typing SM
the stuff, they'd have nothing to come back to you with. And how did they get angry with you anyway? Did you respond to their feedback with negativity and not take responsibility for knowing your account or the basics of transcription?
From knowing many people with your type of attitude over the years, 9 times out of 10 they are people who have the same problems at every job, don't take feedback well, think they are right all of the time and just generally cause problems. Instead of taking responsibility for your part in doing a job, you lay blame on your supervisors, other employees, etc.
They weren't even bad. I don't know why they were deleted sm
unless the name-calling started again. That is the only reason they are deleted. I wish they would've stayed as there was a lot of information from both the company and others and none of it really ugly unless someone blew it as usual.
They weren't very structured when I was there. SM
They pay okay, around 10 cents a line, but no benefits, no taxes taken out, no direct deposit, so that brings it down to about 6 cents a line. If you want your check overnighted, you pay about $25 or $30 for that. Otherwise it gets mailed and take a chance on when you get it. Even having it overnighted does not always work. I had three or four instances when my check was lost, twice for weeks at a time. I'll stick with the more MT friendly companies who manage to pay 9 and 10 cents a line and still give full benefits and direct deposit. I don't mind working a weekend day now and then.
Heard they weren't less than 8 cpl.
Oh, I'm sure they weren't! But what I meant was, (sm)
not that we be contacted before the sale, but after. We sure haven't been getting any reassurance, here.
There weren't a lot of us left (sm)
I think there were a couple of accounts and we were waiting on some bids to come through but capital-wise apparently they could not keep operating waiting on potential accounts so decision was made to close.
I think we all knew it was potentially coming, just surprised that it happened so quickly. I have no hard feelings, but am nervous about finding new work as I have little experience looking for a job!
now I know you weren't talking to ME right?
/
postings about them is that they weren't getting paid. nt
Who are you talking to. I did not say you weren't! Respond where you are
supposed to
They weren't rude with me, but a little disorganized and
not looking out for my best interests, but the interests of their client, which I guess is the way it should be since the client is paying for their services. As far as I know there are 2 women that run this company, I have not talked with the owner and maybe she was the one rude, but the woman I dealt with was not rude, just a little dingy and maybe not 100% truthful about the company that she was recommending. All TM did though was screen me and then I still had to go through the testing/interview process with the company. I had had contact with the referred company previously and had even been offered a position with them, which I turned down. The pay rate offered to me by TM and the pay rate offered to me by the company were the same. I declined referral to the company, being that I had already declined an offer from them and I never heard from TM again.
This is the price of doing business. If there weren't
something in it for you, you wouldn't be doing it - whether it be money, ego, prestinge, etc.
I was hoping they weren't liars. sm
What a concept eh to think companies actually tell the truth once in a while. I was hoping they would make good on their promise. I have spent a lot of time making templates and such and did not want to start all over again. OK, I get it now. I told them I would not do anymore work until they sorted this out but I am looking elsewhere. Thanks for the input.
If you weren't looking for the job why'd you read it and post?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Don't come back saying you weren't warned!
Why bother to ask for feedback if you ignore it?
Makes me wish I weren't menopausal!
LOL
I could go along with that if it weren't for the "cheesy" part

Gosh, maybe. They honestly weren't bad.
I have transcribed much, MUCH worse ESL than what was sampled on their test. When they asked me what percentage of ESL I had transcribed for in an average work day, I told them 20% or less and that's when they said that their work involved 80% ESL. But man, that 20% that I got at my former job was some of the worst on the planet, I swear!
I posted below that we weren't talking about
Ascend, but that Ascend is well known for not paying on time. I don't know that they never paid, just not on time. All the information should be in the Archives.
But weren't there payment issues??

MDI-MD? Weren't they bought by Transcend?

They weren't losing those accounts.
They weren't losing those wonderful accounts, they were being sent to the Philippines to their transcription center there.
You weren't even getting paid enough in 1989.
I was making 5.5 to 6 cpl in 1976. It was a good wage back then, but I don't know how anyone with half a brain thinks MTs will make ends meet with that amount in 2009, or will continue to work for companies that pay that chickenfeed, or even consider hiring on with them, when you can make much more money flipping burgers.

They weren't related at all. Her sister-in-law is my lead and is
wonderful. This person was a transcriptionist who took over HR. No one liked her and we thought she must be related to Lee, but she wasn't.
Are you sure those posts weren't by people who had applied
and couldn't hack a little competition?
Don't know, but a few wks ago, they weren't hiring for their net accts., only for the Lanier o

You weren't offered secondary accounts?

Didn't get your email - Unless you weren't talking to me.
In that case, nevermind :)
If you weren't talking to giddy pc guru
posted your response in reply to him/her.
However, if your comment of Give her a break was directed towards giddy pc guru, I have to agree with giddy pc guru's response to you. It's very difficult to tell sometimes when someone is being flip and when they're being sincere.
Please help promote a kinder world. 
I left 6 months ago, but they weren't paying OT then, but
I worked plenty OT.
You sound disgruntled; no wonder you weren't promoted from within... sm
sounds like sour grapes. Since when does top management share the internal workings and all the goings on with employees?
They told me last week they weren't hiring
true or false? This was e-mail from Carlotta.
Last year, there was a letter sent that told us what we earned the previous year. sm
In the past, it has been all or nothing; if you did not hit the lines for full time for the year, you did not get PTO. I talked to my lead this morning about a last-minute vacation and she told me that the yearly packets are going out in a week or so and that the new policy will acrue PTO by the pay period or month. I like that a lot better, but she also made it sound like they are upping the amount of lines needed to acrue PTO. I normally get between 15 and 20,000 lines per pay period, so I am sure that will be fine but I am worried about the periods that have lower volumes, like most of January every year.
Why dont you just lay off. Sour grapes because you weren't hired?
Sounds like it to me.
If they weren't Synthescribe, they wouldnt have the same phone number.
regardless of what they SAY.
I told you--these people weren't only extremely rude and mean..
But really dense!! I can't believe they keep posting and proving 'me' point.

Webmedx lets you carry them from year to year sm
You can accrue up to 140 hours (I think) before you stop the accrual process. Don't have to use it all in one year.
I would stick it out, most places are slow now through the end of the year every year (nm)

Hey, weren't y'all talking about forming a union? What happened to that notion? nm

Last year $36K part time, going to make more this year full time BUT sm
I AGREE it IS getting harder to make money. I used to make $24 very part time 10 years ago and now...well it is Word and platforms versus WP5.1. I got 7.5 cents a byte line then and I get 9.5 cents a character line now. That IS a huge different in point of fact.
OH I WANT MY WORDPERFECT 5.1 BACK!!!!! Bwaaah!
