I get it. The MTs should give our MTSOs bonuses!
Ho! Ho! Ho! I feel so bad for ya.
Does TransTech give bonuses or anything??
I got a strange deposit in my bank account and I can't figure out where it came from. My paycheck from them is in there and then there is a separate deposit from somewhere. Just maybe fantasizing that it might be a bonus? Anyone know? Or am I just dreaming.
They give QA bonuses also, but it would be on the same check.

Why would Transtech give QA and not MT bonuses? ? ? ??? ? n/m

I guess it is because of so many new MT's coming and going.


They give QA bonuses also, but it would be on the same check.

look at the post below this string by TT2.


Any companies out there give birthday bonuses or anything? sm
My birthday is right around the corner and I would love to know how many companies out there take the time out to remember our birthdays.  I understand that these companies might have many, many employess or ICs, but we are not just a number...or are we? Just curious to find out the good companies out there...
Does Amphion give holiday bonuses, etc?

curious - do they give Xmas bonuses?
 Just wondering!
I've had great luck. it is hit or miss as with ANYWHERE..

Ah, ya big lug. Ya know ya miss us...

miss yog
I was with them for 10 years. Ah, the good old days...LOL...
what and miss all this fun!!
What i think is happening here is another company is assaulting KS. I don't think these posters, most of them anyway, ever worked for KS. I think its the same company who did a lot of recruiting on this board saying they were MTs and what a great company they were. Quite a few of us fell into that sandtrap and if we all hadn't been threatened I am sure there would be more telling their story here, (come on ladies you know who Im talking about). Well turns out they weren't a great company. It comes down to about 3 posters and maybe a couple of crazies out there who have nothing else to do. So my advice ignore all of it and see if this company doesn't show back up here trying to recruit, Ive already seen mention of them a couple of times in all of this, look carefully.
I so miss YOG
Those were truly the glory days.  I could so easily make $1000 a week working for Carole.  She was a little nuts, but so am I, so we got along great.  It wasn't that hard to stay on her good side.  She really appreciated good transcriptionists -- then she hung us out to dry and sold out to MQ.  So sad, those were my best days.
did I miss something?
.
well here's one for you miss know it all

YOU STATE:  And, as far as I know, poster's here cannot request to have their thread closed.  Again, another ASSUMPTION on your part. 


I KNOW FOR A FACT THE GOURDPAINTER ASKED THE THREAD BE CLOSED BECAUSE THE MODERATOR E-MAILED ME ABOUT A POST I MADE IN THAT THREAD STATING THE OP REQUESTED THE THREAD BE CLOSED.


So, you don't know it all, now do you, miss copy and paste...  so next time state the facts!


 


Great company, great boss, great account!!!nm

not much work anyway - they probably would not miss

Is this Miss Preachy?????

Boy do I miss Philly.

miss you if you were absent.

I miss my coordinator...
 
Dear Little Miss Red Pen
You responded to my post saying I would think you weren't very bright at all…That's quite some judgment to make - that someone is not very bright - based on maybe 15 or 20 words they have written - this board is full of people who engage in that kind of judgmental baseness..and it says a whole lot about who they are…

Maybe I can explain myself a little more clearly so even someone like you can understand..

I used 2 forms of the word life one with a small L and the second with a capital L - I can see you didn't notice the nuance but it is the kind of literary gradation many of the intelligent posters on this board often employ..

When I spoke of going through life - with a small L - I was as obvious talking about people who breathe - take up space - in this case - are mediocre - controlling - anal retentive - who don't have the capacity to engage in ideas so resort to red penciling everyone in life they disagree with - it's a particular ugliness people with unhappy lives and small minds are prone to..

I then urged you to get a life with a capital L - meaning disabuse yourself of the notion that other humans are here for you to correct and put down and make judgments about - in your case misjudgments. The life little L big L
or hope little H big H or any number of variations is a simple basic literary device introduced to most college freshmen in writing 101 class, maybe you were absent that day..

I too find it hard to believe there is an MT with 100% consistently for 5 years, but still I can at least envision how that could be - same account easy account good dictators thorough familiarity with the account…and maybe even a QA staff that had a good sense of priority as to what was important and not - after 11 years it could definitely be possible - but there was no such possibility in your mind - just slam and hammer and get out the trusty old red pencil…why didn't you ask her a few questions before you hammered her? I am not making a judgment but something tells me you might not be a very nice person…I have edited and managed in this profession and know how to get outstanding performances from MTs and others that they never thought they could achieve, maybe she was lucky enough to get one of those editors, ever think about that?

But as for my post, you don't know me or my QA scores or years of experience or education or anything and based on a 20 word post you judged me to be not too bright…or - judged me to be another one - a perfect MT I think you termed it. I don't in any way consider myself a perfect MT, have gotten quite a few 100% QAs, and probably will again, and have gotten lots that weren't 100% - but there was nothing in my post about any of that…you just made your holier than thou judgments about me because I factually pointed out how you had red penned someone's post rather than engage them…Maybe if you were a little more refined, educated sophisticated you would have picked up the nuance of my post, understood the subtlety I had put there - and considered it - instead of taking your red pen to it…

Again I urge you..

GET A LIFE!!!

PS You made a few grammatical errors in your post…better get out the red pen.


Ah, but you miss my meaning.
If she does not know that a lot is two separate words, I can only imagine the other kinds of errors that she makes.  That is so very basic.  I am not jealous of someone who does not know that a lot is two separate words.  I am not QA and I don't work for TT and I am not policing anything.  I am just really, really tired of the seeing ALOT and other inexcusable errors from people as they are bragging about their awesome quality-oriented companies that hired them.  I'm sure I'm not the only one who is tired of it. 
You still miss the point...
the poster said it would be one SMALL report for 2-3 months...it did not say 4-40 page report, but ONE SMALL report per day. My point is who wants to do one SMALL report per day for months before finally getting the big stuff, if at all!!!!!???
Miss Webster
Fast should not be your focus if you want to inrease productivity. How much anatomy do you know? Pharmacology? How much real scientific background do you have? Speed is only incidental. Yes, I keyboard very rapidly, but what helps me is education, not speed. Focus on building a proper knowledge base and the rest will come, it really will.
Miss Piggy
I look at ESLs as my job security. I am on a high (90%) ESL account that apparently nobody else seems to like. Goody for me. There is work any time of the day or night I want to sign on. ESLs are not so bad--once you get the hang of it, they are not any worse (and sometimes better) than the good old US of A mushmouths who are too lazy to move their lips.
I miss the days of
Word and FTP - simple and fast. All they've managed to throughout the years is slow us down, complicate our job, and cut our pay.

I think the weird platforms started so the suits and supervisors could track things easier, and they just don't care how much slower/more difficult it is for MTs.
You miss the point

SOME doctors really have come to realize what a valuable asset their medical transcriptionists really were.  A compliment, I feel, is always nice whether or not it does any good.  I, for one, generally appreciate someone saying something nice.


As for change, why my grandmother would be turning in her grave probably about now at the changes in the world.  She was born in 1880 and passed in 1961.  She moved from Tennessee to Arkansas in a covered wagon.  Can you imagine?  As for me, I've seen plenty of change.  I did my first MTing on a manual typewriter.  That is where you had to use a lever to return the carriage at the end of every sentence.  I have transitioned pretty well through the years but I will be da**ed if I will do this highly stressful job for $10 or less average per hour and that was where it had dropped with straight typing in the last few months I worked at it.  I have no doubt that in time MTs will be totally obsolete.  All the female members of my family worked or are still working in MT,  I trained them myself.  I advised all of them to start looking for a new occupation several years ago.  Did they listen?  No.  Two are single, of them one gave up completely and is checking in a grocery store and taking courses in photography; one is working part-time doing MT (when there is work, which she says is rare) and is working as a management trainee for a restaurant chain.  Two are still doing MT but both have husbands who earn a very good income and have benefits such as medical insurance.  I wouldn't recommend even to my worst enemy that they get into MT now. 


Maybe I got way off topic here but I still feel passionately for those of you still doing MT and suffering for lack of work, decreasing pay and no affordable medical insurance let alone a vacation or any time off.  So....if I strayed from the topic, please forgive me.


ANd you may well miss out. As evidenced by others

it most certainly can afford one a decent living. You just gotta know how to work it.


Wahhh... I miss it too.

Not one day has gone by that I don't say ''I miss the old MQ''


I loved my old account, could do 2000 lines a day, made mega money, and that abruptly stopped in 2006. 


Now, (still at Q), I can barely get in 1200 lines and at the reduced ASR rate, all you long-timers know how much money I am out.


Boo-hoo.     Big hugs to all my fellow TL's!!!!!


"warned" by someone who won't give facts or sign her name. Give me a break! nm

The hospital I worked for contracted with CBay, closed the transcription department, and a few months later rehired some MTs back due to very poor quality. When posed with the question as to how much of their transcription is sent overseas, i.e., India, the recruiter replied "more than 50%."
CBay

Thanks for the info on CBay!

CBay
Thanks for the info on CBAY!

Cbay
Hopefully things have changed then. They have been known to come in, hire the existing MTs to help with the transition, and once things are running smoothly they let everyone go and send the whole kit and kaboodle over to India. Our hospital outsourced to them and it has been a nightmare for the last year. Can't wait to see what they do when the contract is up.

CBAY
I can't figure out why Advance constantly promotes CBay without telling the full story. Absolutely nothing positive about this company that I know of. Our facility is dumping them and I wonder how many others are too.
cbay
i lost my job to them. they didnt offer anyone a position. they took it all to india. it is now back in house because of such poor quality, didnt take long, less than six months.
CBay does not use US MTs does it.
:
CBay
They must have a great PR firm though. All the articles about CBay make them sound better than sliced bread! The facility I was outsourced from went with them and it was total nightmare. I would love to know how many facilities actually RENEW their contracts with CBay.
CBay
Does anyone know what CBay rates are and do they use domestic people at all
CBAY
I would like information from anyone currently working at CBay, i.e. benefits, pay for transcriptionists and editors. Thanks
cbay
My own client used to use Cbay. Let me tell you they were not happy at all!! It all goes overseas to India. Does that tell you anything??
cbay
I have no idea but the do send work overseas!
