Dont they make you feel like a child with the threatening emails?
,
I dont answer the mass emails she sends out. What bothers me is we are not anywhere
near out of TAT and she just then sends out these mass emails and everyone piles on and runs the account out.  Then when you get a few more reports she does it again.  It just keeps going on like that.  I have no idea what the problem is.  I dont acknowledge the emails at all I just cant get a grip on why someone would function like that.  It is almost like she isnt happy until she runs the account out and then expect all the ICs which we are to sit around until it comes back in and then be at her beck and call.  It seems to be getting worse and worse lately with this.  She has taken the word control to extremes especially with ICs.  She expects you to let her know if you are going to move your butt of your computer for a half hour.  I just dont get it but it gets extremely old I must say.

look on job seekers board on MTstars. They had an ad in there last week - TransTech. You can apply right from the ad.
THANK YOU AMANDA!!
Very, very well said!
Amanda
It appears to be misinformation. The IRS has a good website. I always advise people to discuss their particular situations with their own CPAs so they can get the best information for their own situation. Good luck!
Amanda
seems to be Etransplus' cheerleader, she is the only one who ever responds to these querries, wonder why. I hope things go well for you new hires, but I would definately not put all your eggs in the eTransPlus basket, I sincerely hope I'm wrong, but a tiger does not change it's stripes.
Amanda
Thanks for correcting me. I am sorry for misunderstanding. I was just worried that she (or he) could get caught up in some nasty IRS business. Glad I was wrong.
Amanda, do you know, if there is no
length of time specified in the contract, how long would the noncompete clause remain in effect? Thank you.
I dont cherry pick, never did. I dont do that to my coworkers on my account.

What is the new status. I dont understand what it means. I dont need their benefits nor do I want
them.
I dont know what that means. I am an SE. I dont sit and wait for work I come back in when it is
there so I never had to deal with Amherst when there was no work because I just stopped working and did other things. My feeling is if this doesnt work there are other jobs out there.
I just dont want to hit that extra space if I dont get paid for it, ya know. No message.

If I cant make QA, dont give me work. Dont dock

Hey Amanda - keep us posted

Amanda - you're right- sm
This is not unique to US MTs. MTSOs, you better believe that folks in other countries wouldn't think twice if a better offer were on the table. If you think that they are loyal to you, you're in complete and total denial!
Amanda - can you email me?
Will you email me? I have some questions for you.
Amanda - I would like some answers
Yes, Amanda was the recruiter's name. The test site said I passed, Amanda said you failed, good luck in your job search. Their loss. Don't want to work for them anyway. The end. :)
Amanda, I am the one you were talking to ...... SM

and I apologize for not writing back.  Your last note is still in my inbox to be answered!  Anyway, the name of that company is Echo Transcription.  I know they have benefits (remember, MTA didn't) and that they used Docuscribe (?sp) and have part of a large hospital in Atlanta.  Good luck!



Amanda please check with the recruiter
this is absolutely not my experience with MDI-MD. Quality is absolutely #1. You submit your schedule of how many lines you plan to do and then do them plus or minus some. I was specifically told by my liasion that if there is not sufficient work, OF COURSE you are not expected to meet your projected count. I have fallen short for other reasons and no one has bothered me about it or wanted to know why and certainly not cut my status to prn. This board is great for sharing ideas, but there is no guarantee they are all accurate!! Feel free to e/m me with more questions.
MagicJack (Amanda's post)

I ordered it, but haven't been able to get it to work right.  I'm thinking it's something dumb on my part, as a friend of mine says her daughter has it (in NY) and does fine.  The location should make no difference, of course.  I'm really not sure what I'm doing wrong.


Just so you know, there's no 800# to call, contrary to what my friend told me.  I've surfed around to find out what others have said about it, and the vast majority like the thing, so at some point I hope to get it to work. 


Maybe when you get it you'll post an update on it.  It arrived here really fast.  Good luck to ya. 


Amanda, you can use the live-chat (sm)
and they will help you trouble shoot.  If you go to the screen for billing, you will see information there on how to live chat for technical issues.  Hope this helps.
Amanda, why are you leaving EtransPlus?
x
I didnt get the packet, do we have to take their insurance if we dont need it. I dont want it. Wish
I would have gotten the stupid thing to read.
I emailed Amanda re; some questions about working for them.
Haven't heard back yet. Guess I'll look for a different part-time company. Can't afford to hang around waiting.
Return to MQ?
No more statutory, just employee. I THINK flexible part-time is 2000 lines a week minimum, not sure. I left about 3 months ago. I have been called to go back, and the temptation was great because my line rate was higher there, but from what I read on the MQ board, I won't go back until they straighten out the mess there. Do yourself a favor and look at the MQ board just so you are informed of what has been happening there. I was there 10 years, hated to leave, but was not making any money in the cesspool any more. Good luck!
return to MQ?
Has anybody here left and returned to MQ?  If so, why, and did they offer you more money or any other incentive to return?
Amanda, does e TransPlus hire part-time IC? (nm)

Return the MT world

Are there any HAPPY MTs out there who are making a decent living at it?  I have been out of the MT circuit for about a year and was thinking of returning, but reading all of these messages about the different companies (hence post on Company Board has made me skid to a stop. I have been an MT for 24 years, but spoiled because I worked for local hospitals and have never had to deal with companies via the computer. I am thinking of returning to MT work and amtrying to make sense out of transcribing for national companies and which ones to apply to, but all of these posts are rather frightening -- particularly when you are a single mom who is supporting not only a child, but a grandchild.  Any help with enlightenment on whether it is worth returning to or not would be great -- have interviews with Diskriter and Keystrokes at present.  Thank you very much. 


Carriage Return! :) sm
Remember how fast we could slam that carriage return at the end of the line.....or if we forgot and ran the line off the side of the page!

Carriage return - now there's a blast from the past! :)
Think of it this way. It is return of MY taxes that I

File your tax return based (sm)
on the pay you received and attach a note explaining that the company failed to pay you a portion the pay indicated on the form.
But are you required to sit & wait, or can you log off and return later? sm
If you are required to sit there, then yes you should be paid. If not, then you should be able to flex your hours and return later to finish.
No. They tell you when they need the jobs and it is up to you to decide if you can return the

Company soliciting return
One more thing for the day, I had a previous company solicit my return.  I contacted the recruiter because I thought they valued my service as I had departed on good terms.  I was offered 2 cents less than I was making when I left.  If you need the name of the company, just e-mail me, and I can save you the inconvieience of contacting their recruiter. 
Where do I sign up for the return voyage?!!! nm

No return call from recruiter

I had a similar situation happen twice, I might add.  I got an E-mail from a recruiter on 2 separate occasions - same recruiter one year apart during my job searches; the recruiter was from Prohibity Transcription wanting to know when is a good time to schedule an interview.  I immediately responded and said anytime from 9:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, but to let me know what would work best for her schedule as I am flexible.


I never, on both occasions, received a reply back.  I sent a follow-up E-mail a week later, on both occasions, I might add, and never heard a reply. I called the company and asked to speak to the recruiter by name and got her voice mail with no return phone call.


I, too, have been in this business for many years with a proven track record and I used to get a phone call the same day my resume was sent out by companies, sometimes within 15 minutes upon receipt of my resume.


All I have to say is at first I thought it might have been a fluke the go around she did not respond to my E-mail.  The second time, I am not so sure.


My advice is look to the smaller MTSOs who are family owned as opposed to the Nationals - of course, with most of them, you are an IC, but I find you tend to be treated as a valuable employee and your hard work is appreciated.


is it called a hard return...
When you shift + enter?
a hard return is when you must hit the enter key

Well, I know that MTs from my office have quite MQ and they dont post on here but I dont know how
many. I think MTs with MQ may be getting second jobs and just working for 2 different places at the same time which is probably the smart thing to do anymore because MQ will continue with this short TAT and as it spreads throughout other  offices people will continually be running out of work especially after going on DQS.
You obviously have the wrong company. If they dont IM you, then you dont have it on..
I smell management. Nothing you said makes sense unless there is another Focus out there.
Sorry if I dont like gutter humor. Also dont like

My return was flagged for audit because of SE status
with all the terms written by a lawyer with signature by myself and the CEO of the company, so they closed the audit. About 2 years after they created the SE status, they wanted to make sure people weren't using it instead of IC, and I happened to be one who had to prove things to them.
send certified return receipt
your invoice and be sure to add the amount of the mailing - then go to small claims - you are a contractor - no tin the letter if you are not paid, you will add interest and court fee - give them 30 days and go for it. You file in thier state and this can most times be handled on line
If there a time frame for return of funds? sm
I know Silent Type wants $500. to get back in 6 months, baloney, this is just a way to get an iinterest free loan to purchase there equipment. I turned it down. On current company, you may suggest to get a predated check for the $125 to coincide with the proposed return of funds, then you can just automatically cash, hopefully there are funds there.
There's only one way to find out if an employer thinks you'd be as suited for a return to this

Ran out of work, they wouldn't return email or call...see msg
They wouldn't contact me back or answer my calls. Four days later they finally got back with me to tell me to be patient. I specifically asked when I took the position if running out of work was ever a problem.
WEBMEDX - NO RETURN ON COMP DEPOSIT - 3 MONTHS

It's been 3 months since I left the company, and I have not received my computer deposit yet.  I called and talked with HR and Accounts Payable, who promised me a check weeks ago.   I called today and was told they had a snag -- no one to sign checks, providing me with a lame excuse about having to send the checks to ATL next week, etc., etc.   NOT MY PROBLEM -- You took the money out of my check, now send it back since your computer was returned in good condition.   (Not to mention that I have not received my last paycheck -- haven't pursued that because it's less than $5). 


Also -- when I worked for the company, the accounts (3 hospitals) continually ran out of work.  I was to give WEBMEDX 12 hours out of my day, checking every 30 minutes to see if there was work, and then sign off if there was no work so as not to abuse the minimum wage laws (i.e. so they would not have to pay me).   This was the worse experience I have ever had with a transcription service.   HORRIBLE!!


I applied when they first posted. Not so much as an email in return after I tested.

Update: I've been contacted and may be able to return if work is available.
This is exactly why I loved my job there!!! These are the best people to work for. Whenever you have problems, issues, and questions, they are always there and treat you with the utmost respect.  Even if I do not get the chance to return, I feel blessed to have spent the last four years there.  Trust me.....none of the other nationals out there can compare.
Absolutely - I work off FTP and have a 24-hour window to return files.
I work my own schedule daily and keep my TAT. It is that simple. No big deal. I download my files late in the evening, transcribe the next day and upload them late in the evening.

Whatever works!
resend with a return receipt that generates once email was opened. nm.
