About a week ago I received an email from Future-Net stating I had passed all the testing and a recruiter would be contacting me....I am still waiting a week later.  Is this normal for them?


TIA

If only VWP was the future. It's not. The bad sound quality of VR is the future at this company.

Bad sound quality, technical problems, no expander, full editing, half pay.  No thanks. I'm on my way out after 4 years.


I hope you're right. I've been waiting 4 wks for an ID - still waiting! nm

FUTURE.NET

Hi,


 


Was wondering if anyone know anything about Futurenet and if so..what do you think of them. Thanks..


Future Net
At the risk of being called a spy or whatever, I spent 8 years with MQ. FutureNet is the BEST company I have ever worked for. They sure nipped the cherry pickers in the butts. They have work coming out the eyeballs and if you do your job according to what you promised, you won't be bothered by anyone. Best, best, best company ever.

It sounds like you enjoy working for this company. I am not happy with the company I work for now as most of the dictators are ESL. Are the dictors for FutureNet mostly ESL. Any info you can give me would be helpful. Thanks, D.

Future Net pay
They've NEVER been late to pay me, and I've been there for about 8-1/2 months.  Maybe you should find out if your invoice went through okay.  I'd contact the office if I were you.
Future Net
Has anyone heard anything about them? I haven't had decent work from them in two weeks or more. Are they going belly up or do they off shore? I need to get serious about them becasue they sure aren't serious about their employees. I don't want to work for ANY company who offshores.
Future Net
Does anyone have any current info on Future Net?  Everything in the archives is over a year old.  Do they offshore?  Thanks in advance!
Future Net
What is the latest on Future Net?  Anyone here work or has worked for them?
Future Net

Hello,


I was interviewed by them, took a test over the phone, which really caught me off guard and offered a position.  Richland will be one of my sites and I have to do 2 days of training. Hopefully that will be Wed/Thurs or Thurs/Friday.  I will be emailing the recruiter this evening as she was out of the office on Friday.  They have sent me quite a bit of information (site specifics/format/general helpful info) and I am looking forward to starting. I hope that helps....


Future something
FutureNet maybe?
Future of MT
As a retired MT, who spent over 40 years in the business, I project that within 10 years there will be  no such thing as a medical transcriptionist.  I would not encourage anyone to get into the business now.  Just read the posts and look at the job seeker's board.  2000+ hits on 1 job ad!!!! 
Future-Net

Can anyone tell me anything about working for Future-Net?  Thanks


Future Net is on the sm
West Coast and has many east coast clients.  They need folks who in the east coast time zone.  At least that was the way it was a couple years ago.  They  must be getting more east coast clients.  Not a bad place to work.
You should always think about the future
when you have children. You either totally misunderstood, or you don't have kids. BT didn't mean not to think about the present at all, but kids don't get cheaper as they get older, they get more expensive which means you need to think about how you will provide them a secure future. I have raised 6 (only 3 left at home now) and believe me, you think about the future a lot!
Future Net
I searched for posts and found nothing on Future Net since 2007. Anybody worked there recently or employed there now? How is it? Do they have work? Are they flexible? I am an ex yogger and may be in the market for a new job.

Thank you
They still do now, but I don't know what the future holds. NM
xxxxxxx
Can't worry about the future right now...
My mortgage is not due in the future, it is due in the present.  I cannot cut all my bills by 40% until Transcend figures it out so I have to make $ to pay my bills now--not later.  Anyway--gotta go type for Webmedx, like I said.  I have to pull myself away but will be back on later this evening.  Good luck to all of you, and I truly wish you the best!!!! 
Thanks, I'll try that in the future.nm

Future Net sucks....SM
No direct deposit, no benefits, minimal weekend incentive and now NO WORK.  I can't put up with it anymore and I'm out of there......If you are looking for a good job, this is not the one. 
What platform does Future Net use?

Is it Itype or something like that?  Does Instant Text work with it?  Which work Expander works with it? 


INMT


I work for Future-Net and they sm
not a part of Spheris at all.  I know folks who work for Spheris and even the pay scale is a big joke.  Future-Net is the best company I have worked for in m 30 years as an MT.
I love Future-Net! I have been with sm

them since May after leaving a national after 23 years.  I have never been treated with such respect for the skills I have.  They hav eplenty of work, the platform is not difficult.  I am classified part-time which is 500 lines a day/four hours and get no hassels, no pestering phone calls.  If they want to ask a question, they e-mail you.  I love it!  I do a high ESL account but truthfully its not bad and some of the non-ESLs are a whole lot worse than the ESLs, so it balances out.


Hope that helps.


I don't see retirement in my future, unless it's the
:(
Has anyone applied to Future Net sm
in response to their immediate need for MTs?  Have you heard anything from them if you have? 
Future Net Info
Would appreciate knowing whether Future Net hires for employee status or only IC. Went to their website and unless I'm missing something could find no information on this, or about any benefits for employees. Any info of this nature would be very welcome. Thank you.
Future (something) out of Florida?

I am looking for the name of the company that operates out of Florida.  I believe they do ER work and they have the word Future included in their company logo.  Thanks so much! 


Sounds like Future Net
nm
For future reference...
I have found in my years that most places are far less concerned with format than content, in the belief that format could be individual based on client needs and any formatting errors could be quickly corrected in your first few days under the watchful eye of QC. That said, as a QC myself, I see many more errors related to content than I do of format once an MT has hit about a month on any account.

Good luck with your job search.
Well for future reference....
I would have the line counting program in place BEFORE I even gave my start date or whatever.  Of course, if you were having so many personal or family issues that you couldn't even send an invoice, then you can't be outraged that you got cheated out of lines.  Companies have certain deadlines as well and they aren't able to wait around and figure out how to get your programs up and running.  I'm not sure what kind of company you worked for, but if it were ME, and of course it isn't, but I would have INITIALLY in the BEGINNING told them I was having an issue with a line counting software and ask what they SUGGEST I use that may be in comparison to what their other MTs use.  IF they were rude, as you suggested, then I would have just not started working for them.  But, to work, not able to count lines, not able to send an invoice in, the whole mess seems very disorganized, so you shouldn't be shocked that you didn't get paid.  LESSON LEARNED.
BAD - ISR pay cuts in the near future :(
Some mumbo jumbo about how their fancy new ISR program will up our production, and thus we get pay cuts, since we have to be competative in the market. Funny how we are getting million dollar accounts, but yet they can't afford to pay us a decent amount. Knew it was coming, just was hoping to avoid it for another year until done with school.
Sounds like in the not too distant future they won't need you at all if that's all you have to
What then? You better start considering the future instead of being content to be so impressed with the present.
Anyone hear of Future Step?
I received an email from Future Step telling me about a job.  Never heard of them.  Never applied with them?????
EGZAKLY and IT's the wave of the FUTURE and U better get

If you don't like things now, can you decide on your own about your future? nm

No future for kids - hence DINKS!

Future Net's line requirement pp?

What is Future Net's line count requirement per pay period for PT and FT? 


INMT 


Yes!!! I don't work for Future Net but I am still waitin...sm
for my paycheck that was sent out Tuesday to arrive 2-3 days later and I have not received it.  Bad time of year for things to arrive on time!
It's official, I'm a Future-Netter

I'm happy to be joining FN as a PT IC.  Thanks all for your recommendations - I took them to heart.


Future Net -- anybody presently working there?

Hello:  I have just applied with this company.  Just took their on-line test, which was really difficult, even for someone who has been MT for 30 years.  Does anyone work with this company right now?   I would like to hear your opinion about the company.  Have heard mostly positive type comments, although they do hire ICs only.  Anyway a lot of these companies, you can only keep your benefits if you transcribe some outrageous number of lines, which hardly anybody can do anyway.  I am very disillioned about these companies and see how they have ways to not pay promised bonuses and basically cut-throat tactics they use with us.  


Live and learn they say.  I guess I would just as soon work as IC and make more money, because in the long run, you are probably better off anyway.

Wave of the future, thank MTIA!

Speech Rec replacing MT in future
I work with Speech Recognition every day and, believe me, there is no threat of it replacing me as an MT for a very, very long time. It does not have a clue as to what doctors are saying or which part of the body it is talking about. Most of my time is spent fixing what it put and I could actually type it faster. It does put together very funny sentences though and that kind of lightens up my day. LOL Not to worry.
MT for 30 years..I have advised many AGAINST..no future in it..nm
nm
Yeah really. He just has so much faith in the future of this industry
LOL!
Is Future-Net Techology slow to pay all the time?
I've been waiting since last week for my check, still not here. Invoice submitted on 12/14.   I guess, no pay, no work from me.   Blah!
What kind of future do our children and grandchildren have? sm
To begin with, they will be burdened by taking care of their elderly parents and grandparents who devoted their lives to working hard to make a living, only to have that living yanked out from under them.

Unfortunately, it seems that the philosphy of our government is to run all over the globe taking care of other countries while allowing our own people to slip further and further into poverty. I wonder how far this will have to go before the powers that be open their eyes and see what is happening to our own country?

I have been in this business for 15 years and am less than 20 years away from retirement age. According to my last Social Security statement, I will have to work until age 66 years 10 months before I can draw full Social Security and, if I can keep the arthritis and the carpal tunnel away and keep my wits about me, I can even earn a couple hundred more at age 70 IF there are even funds left in SS at that point. With the pushing of the retirement accouts by the federal government, my money says there won't be any money when I get ready to draw it.
Yes, it is going to take a revolution and I fear it isn't in the too distant future. nm

question on VR editing, wave of the future ?
it seems that alot of  companies are either there or heading in that direction, before I jump ship looking for greener grass  and consistent work - anybody truly happy working on their VR program?  if I have to get into it, at least I want to get into the right one - can you really double your production?  thanks for your response and help
Guess this is the wave of the future, I cant take this anymore...nm
