Luck? Perhaps.

Whatever it is, I'll take it. And if things turn sour, I will do everything I have to to sweeten it back up again. But I'm not going to go looking for trouble where, right now, there is none.

And right now I am cursing the air blue (okay, not really, but I'm THINKING bad words!) because I just drew a 10-minute dictation from the WORST dictator to EVER cross my path in 37 years....

I think I need more coffee.

Sorry about your luck!
I am not frustrated, nor fat. I am 5'6, 125 pounds. LOLOL. I will never fall off of my soapbox as I have crazy glue stuck to my feet everytime I get up there!!! Take me or leave me, I will keep coming here. Ok PATTI????
I wish you luck, but I had a very
bad experience with them. You know, I would say exactly what my experience was as I have so many times in the past, but it seems that every time I post specifics, I get jumped on, so suffice it to say, I would stay away.
All of them. You'd probably have more luck actually
getting your money by contacting the Labor Board, but I would definitely file complaints with the other two, so that a complaint if on file and maybe they'll think again about their business practices. 
Not much luck either
We tried it for over a year and just had an awful time.  The biggest problem was nobody could hear us.  We could hear everybody else fine.  We also had a LOT of times when it was just dead period.  Then it started to interfere with the router so it was either one or the other, wireless router or vonage router.   We also found when we had to call 911 that it absolutely kills the line.  We had to call them and it took an hour for the line to be reset.  Their modem died right at 60 days and we had to buy another one.
Thanks and best of luck to you too :-) sm
I had that philosphy all through my 30-year career until bonus structure changed and I had no choice but to be stable income-wise and have control of what I brought in.

I agree with everything you said and sounds like you've found yourself a good niche :-)

Wish me luck....

I'm starting a new account tonight as an IC and just got the necessary equipment.  I've got the manual at my side and QA on standby, but I've never used this platform.


Cross your fingers for this fellow MT, please!!!  



 


I wish you luck. Do you have another MT job yet?
What other companies are or were you considering to move to from Transcend. Just wondering because I am a long-time MT and don't want to leave my job because of the economy yet, not making enough to pay the bills either.
Sorry....been looking myself and no luck.
Everyone wants full time and mostly nights to boot.
I wish you the best of luck
but are you sure that these companies are in hiring mode right now?
TY! I sometimes think I need all the luck I can get!

Any luck??
I was just hired by Keystrokes and I am looking too for a C-Phone. I was told by the recruiter that I have to purchase one....so I have been checking out E-Bay, Craig's List and everywhere else I can think. I just cannot afford the 400.00 for a new one!!! BUT, I guess if push comes to shove, I will have to pay that much. :(
Have had good luck with them since Feb.
I was told about a horror story that went on between them and one MT when I was brought on. Nothing even close has happend to me or another MT that I talk to from Medscript. Perhaps it was a two way horror story for the owner and the MT? I will post an email address if anyone has specific questions I can try to help. 
Good luck to you
I worked for MQ for years, and if you want ANYTHING you have to continuously harass "the higher ups." Remember, it is your money, and it is owed to you, don't let up on them or you will get NOTHING! Management sucks at MQ.
Sorry, I do not. Good luck!

GOOD LUCK!
Insurance costs are just outrageous nowadays--I can hardly afford it, and the costs seem to increase with every new enrollment period.
Good luck
No problemo! Best of luck to you!
Good luck!!!! They don't even pay
let alone spaces!!! They blowing smoke up, well, you know where!!!!
Good luck.
Ditto. I will keep my fingers crossed for you.
Could be! Let us know how it goes and good luck!
.
Good luck to you then...

I just saw above where you had worked for DSG. That was another I had considered in the past but saw quite a bit of negative at one time. May I ask why you left DSG?


Thanks!


Good luck to you as well. sm
Bascially DSG wasn't willing to pay me what they thought I was worth, which sounds stupid, but it's true. Everything else except for the pay was perfect. I loved working there, and I recommend them. They have had some growing pains in the past, but things have leveled out quite a bit. I wish you the best.
my pleasure.....best of luck (nm)

Good Luck...let us know what happens with Lou..nm
:)
Good luck
I was offered the same deal but there was no work when I started.  Nada, nothing. I had 9 jobs for an entire week and was told I couldn't get a backup because I wasn't off of 100% QA, and couldn't come off 100% QA because there was no work!!!  When I left, they did NOT pay the training bonus as promised and I reported them to the Attorney General.
Don't know anything about them but good luck!!
:)
Best of luck to you, congrats.

Your welcome and good luck.....nm

Good luck! sm
Bet it is the same company I worked for. If it is, you will never get it. Was told my check was in the mail 10 months ago, and never received it. I had my own equipment so there was nothing to return.
Good luck on this one
nm
I did not have good luck!
Jim, the hiring manager, was supposed to send me all of the new hire papers, etc. No word from him. I e-mailed him constantly and called him constantly to find out where the papers were and when I was going to start. He totally ignored me. I call that very unprofessional. That should tell you something about the company. There seems to be a big turnover because they are always constantly hiring.
Well good luck with that one. I will not
:(
Best of luck to you in your new venture.
.
KS's GOOD LUCK!!
I went into that totally blind and naive.....never again...lets face it...if your willing to put forth all your effort looking up things that the company should have referenced you with before they threw you into a contract....that tends to leave a bitter taste in your mouth!
Good luck!
nm
Good Luck!
I, too, love working at a company that refuses to offshore their work. I am very happy there. I actually feel like I am valued as an employee. I hope all goes well for you and that you are hired by Keystrokes!
Bye-Bye Birdie, any luck? nm
nm
Good Luck!

Best of luck to you! Do you have exp. with Emdat? nm

Good luck
I wish you all the luck in the world with the new company, I left QT a few months ago and went to work for them but only lasted about a month, continually switching accounts, software was pathetic, just do not expect to make anywhere near what you did at QT, my line count was actually about 60% of what it was with QT and my line rate was less, went for hte benefits but did not stay
Good luck to us both then!
nm
Good luck !!!

Good Luck to you
Congratulations on getting out of the evil place. You will be happier anywhere else!
Good luck with that......!! nm

Good Luck!
Let us know.
Luck is a factor
but are MT companies all so bad? If you have been at 10 companies in 10 years, and all were bad, that is very bad luck and I feel for you. I've been with only 1 company for the 2-1/2 years I've been doing MT and have had no problems with them. Good account, good supervisors, good pay, occasionally run low on work, but rarely. I get very nervous reading that so many companies out there are horrible. Actually a lot of people think my company is horrible from the posts I read here, but it hasn't been for me. I'm going to be nervous if I have to look for a new job.
I sinerely wish you the best of luck - sm
in getting a raise. I have gotten a couple of raises as an IC in 9 years that were due to quality of work and time with the company. Most of the time they seem to like to only the rates 1/4 cent per line rather 1/2 cent, but depending on the company 1/2 cent is certainly possible depending on what they base raises on.
good luck. .
I'm so happy for you . . I so want to be a real Transcriptionist again. . not sure there are any in my area though. . I think I will check it out. . .
