    I have 7 yrs until retirement and I doubt is any MT work SM
    will be done in US. I am thinking of other jobs. Instead of some work going to India, or perhaps some other country, most of the work will be done offshore and we in the US will be left little. I'm not hysterical over this, I just consider it a fact of life.
    I doubt it. As low as work has been the last 2 weeks, (sm)
    several of us will probably get warnings for not making line count this pay period. What amazes me is that they've got an ad out today. Makes me wonder if things are going to get worse before they get better.
    I seriously doubt there will ever be a work shortage again (sm)
    This company is growing so rapidly, it's hard to keep up.  Several new accts in the last few weeks, and they seem to be big ones.  True enough, they may fully staff them soon, but as long as you have a backup acct for slow times, there is no problem.  You want them to be flexible, but you have to be flexible as well.  I have typed on about 6 or 7 different accounts and the most I've EVER run out of work in 2 years is for about an hour.  I have learned to take advantage of a few slow hours here and there.  I don't foresee it happening again any time soon though.
    I doubt anyone that goes to work in Saudi
    Especially a woman. It would be like going back to the Dark Ages.
    I doubt seriously it will change much at all. In the meantime, the many MTs who do not work sm
    for them are sick of this.

    Medquist should provide a board for their people to discuss this.

    I know I am not interested, could care less. If you think you are getting something wonderful from this company, fine! It is my guess, it will not turn out to be anything wonderful in the long haul.

    If it is wonderful for you, fine. All that do not work for this company though should NOT HAVE TO READ THROUGH THIS JUNK. A whole entire board is full of this junk now and not just on this board but the Main Board too.

    Enough is just enough!

    The owner of the company I work for says she will never sell but I doubt anyone could
    pass up millions if put in front of them. I couldn't, that's for sure. A nice island somewhere with someone to bring me slushy drinks :)
    New accounts - I doubt if we will ever run out of work again in our lives!!! Yes can have a backup

    Actually, I thought her post was professional. Do you work at MDI? I doubt it.
    she can most likely weed out the MTs just by their posts anyway if she's dealt with them at all. She did the right thing to simply state MDI MTs can come to her IF they have concerns. It's great to share info, but not ALL posts are by sister MTs sharing the good word. There are many, many who love to incite drama and there are always 2 sides to every story! Anyone can come on here and claim they are great MTs and do all that is expected of them yet are treated terribly by a company, but that sure doesn't make it the truth. About how many MTs do you think are at MDI? And how many individual MTs are here complaining? Not the same posters using different names but single persons. Do the math and figure out from that how many are unhappy at MDI, and my bet is your percentage will be low. I know of a lot of MTs very happy at MDI with enough work. But then I'm sure the naysayers will just claim those are the favorites or something.
    I doubt they HAVE to, but most probably do as an incentive to get workers to work the late shifts an

    They are a mom and pop. I doubt they could buy anyone.

    I doubt SEs will be out with MQ.
    I think they probably get very excellent coverage from SEs because there isn't the same schedule/time limitations and therefore SEs feel more free to work as they can.

    I'm an SE and I truly hope it doesn't change much for me but, if it does, I will just have to re-evaluate and decide if I want to make that change.

    I think SEs may see a changes in the form of base pay rates, shift differentials, etc., all the pay issues but no re-classification as it seems is coming for PT and FT employees. They will probably offer a very attractive employee package for SEs for those who were walking the line about SE vs Employee status.

    We will see, I guess.
    it could be but I doubt it
    Geesh!
    I seriously doubt that!
    Gimme a break.
    Still around. I seriously doubt they are down to
    one account.   Still have the same number of MTs and I have plenty of work. 
    JLG, without a doubt.
    Best co I have ever had the pleasure of working for.
    I doubt it but you could ask. NM

    doubt it -

    Ad posted twice with different wording, same number. Both have since disappeared from board.  Assumed target was an Indian gentleman. He was very emphatic that it was a scam and did not seem puzzled, so all in all, pieces fit more likely with a trick rather than an accident.


     


    No doubt
    That's true. I have had almost 2 solid days of this woman! It's literally driving me crazy. It seems the longer I listen to her the less I hear what she is saying. :(
    I really doubt it
    I don't know how big those companies are, but MQ is such a giant company it would take a lot of companies merging together to pass them in size.
    I seriously doubt (sm)

    they would let you go if there is no work and you can't make production.  Methinks there must be more to it than that.


    Why do you doubt it?
    Have you actually worked for Transcend or are you just a doubter?  Management is not stupid.  They know that without the MTs there would be no company and no profit.  Did you have a bad experience you would like to share?
    Doubt you could either

    impossible to make- cutting out headers, footers, various hidden tokens, etc etc. Does anybody find it funny that the two main companies that are talked about here constantly are TT and KS?  Are there any other companies out there that don't go round and round with the same nonsense all the time?


    I doubt it, since... SM
    the companies I've worked for only paid an extra $0.0025 (quarter cent) per line for being a CMT.

    I wonder if that employer knows that CMT fees & AHDI dues go to fund the special Indian Rate that AHDI and Prometric came up with.
    MDI without doubt
    I have worked for companies large and small but I have never been treated with such kindness and professionalism as I am at MDI. They have an extremely high standard and are very choosy about whom they hire. They produce quality work. Their tech support is second to none. The QA people are all extremely intelligent and above all, kind. I have worked for the good (MDI) the bad (a large national whichI will not name) and the ugly (smaller MTSOs that could not seem to get their act together for whatever reason). Without a doubt, I would recommend MDI.
    I can tell you without a doubt
    The person posting that is not from this country. Read it again. You can see from the word usage. They shouldn't be on this board, anyway.
    No doubt about it - It has to be ...

    a recruiter. I work for Transcend, when there is work. Third day in a row and there is no work. And talking to someone about it - that's a joke, and a bad one at that. 


    Anyone thinking that first message is legit, keep on looking.  They will tell you there is plenty of work, great accounts, great benefits but the truth is there is no work, you may initially have a  decent account but plan on them changing you over to another account that is not so great and as far as benefits, there is a good chance you won't meet the minimum requirements because there is no work to be done. 


     


    When in doubt, try the No you, No you
    So what happened to all that maturity of yours?
    On VR I doubt you will be able to
    double your lines. I have been doing VR now for several years and it is extremely hard to double ones lines. I might have done it once in 4 years, not easy although I am told by my company SOME are able to do.
    I doubt it.
    I seriously doubt they have sent work to India. My accounts are seriously low, but I really think it is a combination of the VR and probably overhiring. I am sure we will get an e-mail in the very near future addressing our concerns. Just hope we can all hang in there. Of all the posters on this board, MDI employees seem to be the most cordial to each other, which is rare. I wish the best to everyone at MDI.
    Oh, I have no doubt
    they can prove I posted.  The problem is I didn't post anything that could remotely be construed as defation or libel. 
    no doubt
    they DO have much to prove. I am still very skeptical too. We each have to make the decision that is right for ourself, without tearing one another down. However, do I want to cut off my nose to spite my face? Maybe I choose to go with a smaller company, and they sell out, fold, or just have sorry management etc. I am deciding to TRY and see if they in fact do what they say they will, as far as flexibility, trying to work with our preferences and such. I am opting to go with a company that can likely (though nothing is certain)survive this market, provide me with ample work, keep me in the same accounts, pay me decently, etc, etc. Only time will tell. I can stand on my principals all day long, and then not be able to pay the bills. I am the sole breadwinner in my household and have grown children that may need help too, if their livelihoods go south. If you can stand by your principals and do well, bless your heart, and more power to you. I still HAVE my principals and will fight for them in the courts/legislature. I would lay down my life for spiritual principals, but am not willing to lose my hiney for market ideals.
    I doubt that. As long as you are 100% QA
    all that means is that all your reports go to QA instead of directly to the client.

    As an SE, they cannot make you work certain hours. I've been an SE for quite a while with MQ. When I first started I gave a "proposed" schedule to them but never have reissued that schedule. I work when I want to. If I'm going to be gone and not type a day or 2, I let my sup know. So far, knock on wood, I haven't run into any problems.

    As long as I make the minimum line count per payperiod, they leave me alone.
    Unless you are retirement age now, I doubt your
    hee..hee
    i doubt there is such a list,
    at least that is all-inclusive, but you could make your own, starting with the job board.
    Yes, these are facts. No doubt about it.
    :
    Doubt it. What happened,
    did you look in the mirror?
    I actually don't doubt it. Honestly. But still says
    of sending medical records to countries with often much lower standards than ours in those terms, and who, if you ever did need to try to prosecute them or pursue them for a breach of privacy, would likely be beyond the long arm of the law ... or at least amazingly incredibly difficult to get cooperation from.
    I doubt any MT has ever stayed
    that long at Heartland to enjoy his/her vacation!
    I don't know if that is good, but I doubt it. Don't even
    know why you would ask if all you have heard is bad.  I have been offered 2 different positions with them, one as an MT and one as QA to redo the stuff that comes back from India, which is horrible.   They offered me a cpl rate, so don't know how the other works out.   I thought the sound quality was very poor and the dictators I had weren't very good.  I do about 90-95% ESL and usually do them very well, but you have to give me something to work with first and the dictation just was not good at all.  
    I doubt there's much that can be done at this point.
    .
    I doubt same company
    When I hit control I function I immediately get a line count and number of reports I have typed, even if I have just sent one, its there immediately.
    No, I seriously doubt it. I can see where you are concerned, but

    I doubt OP had to use "shoo-in" anywhere on her

    I highly doubt
    I would really like the name of the VP that told you that. I don't believe that anyone at Transcend would tell you they were giving the easy work to the offshore people because that is all they can do.

    I don't buy it.
    That is a huge yes..no doubt about that one.
    And since they got their new investors in the last what, year or so, the offshoring has increased. I look for more changes to come as well.
    Focus no doubt

    Don't be so quick to doubt

    I'm 5 years into my MT career.  I'm 48 and currenly I work an average of 10 hours a day for a popular MTSO.


    2 years in house - most I made was was 27K


    Last year 6 months in house, 6 months at home - 24k


    Next year - 34k


    This year 55k!  Do I count on that for next year?  Nope, but I can hope.


    Yes, my speed probably is increasing.  Since this industry has a give yourself a raise mindset, that's what some of us do, when we can.


    Yes, its awful that many of you made that much in the good old days, and its been reduced.  But as a relative newbie, I have nothing to be bitter about, so I just keep honing my skills and my expanders.


    I really really doubt it but you could call
