But it is referring mainly to Versions and e.Chart, not specifically sm
what you mentioned in your original post. I hope it works for you. Overall, for me, platform works well and I'm always sorry to see someone (not you) dis the whole company b/c they have individual issues which could be ISP related. Keeping fingers crossed for you.
If I were you, I would specifically post
for Busy MT'ing since she right now works for at least 2 nationals. She seems to know every single thing known to man. Try posting specifically to her on the MQ Board.
post specifically says Domestic MTs

If you are referring my post...
I think it's pretty clear..
Referring to my post above --
My mother and daughter typed extremely fast from written documents as that is all they had been trained on. When I was in high school and before I started MTing, I could also type really fast on written word, but now that I am trained on voice, I can no longer type fast or accurate at all from reading a document and transcribing that document.
I sure hope you were not referring to my post..sm

I don't know who you were referring to but I'm not that person saying India rocks....that's a given....*lol*


I merely said that racism and false accusation are not a good thing...but perhaps you weren't even referring to me, now that there are a dozen posts or so in the thread....


Happy weekend to all...*S*


what bizarre post are you referring to? sm
guess I missed it
Where is the post to which you're referring?

I can't find any that have the arrow


I think you are referring to my earlier post

and I am not in an illegal situatuation, though the poster who answered me tried to suggest that I am, or that I am somehow making the world less wonderful for other MTs. 


If you feel used and abused, if your MTSO treats you as an employee when it comes to scheduling and as an IC when it comes to pay and benefits then you are in an illegal situation.  I have been in similar situations and have simply chosen to move on.  But I would not discourage anyone from slugging it out with their boss over the issue if they want to keep that job.


I simply don't want my personal very seaworthy boat sunk by somebody who has a hole in her own boat.  'kay?


OK, I'm lost. Are you referring to "I wish" post or
5t4
I wonder if referring to 2 separate post?s
I disagree, if a job is posted there is no reason not to give out the lowest to highest rate offer for the advertised position They know what they will offer FOR THE POSITION.
happens in other posted jobs all the time -- all the time, it is listed on the job opening. This saves both sides time
why not, only to find out some low rate you would not have bothered with, sent in a resume, tested for or interviewed for. I forgot one time -- forgot to PRE- check it out, got to interview and it was 7.5. What a waste (both sides) actually, but more for the MT wasted a lot of time.
If you're referring to the 20K-line post, I am NOT mgmt...sm
I make this type of line count because I'm willing to work on different accounts and work extra when the need arises. I LIKE paying my bills, so I am flexible - and that, in this day and age, is on of the real keys. Nothing is as it used to be when work was consistent and pay was better, but I need to pay the bills. I have a great communication with my supervisor, and that is another key. If you don't talk to somebody about your problems or lack of work of whatever, it cannot be fixed. I don't care if I have to learn every acct the company has - I'm going to do that, because it will ensure that I can maintain a good line count at the end of the payroll period, thereby affording me a better check.

The basic fact is that working for a company is no different than any other aspect of your life. If it's not working for you, then you MUST make a change. Complaining about something will not change it - and ultimately you will spend your life feeling miserable - and trying to make other people feel miserable, too. I choose the opposite.

I've been at a multitude of other nationals and, for me and for now, this IS the company that I'm happy with and with whom I intend to stay.

You can go ahead and flame away - 'cause while you're sitting here typing nasty responses, accusing me of being mgmt, or making negative responses about Transcend, I'm working away. Now if that sounds "condescending" to you, TOUGH!
Where in my post is the word (sm)
liar? You've gotta be a novice at this gamble; cause that's exactly what it is....sometimes you win, but more often times NOT!

Give it a few weeks...then tell me you're not running out of work. They ALL operate the same. You just don't get it. WE are the peons. We don't pay WebMX hefty amounts of money for promised 24-hour TATS. We just get the crumbs that they occasionally care to leave over so we and our families don't starve.
I was careful to word my post

so as to show it was not a done deal. Used the word sniffing to indicate interest.  I have no absolute proof but thought the MTs deserved a heads up. The practice of ambushing workers with mergers and takeovers is just another show of absolute disrepect for us.


seriously - how did you get the word illegal out of that? post does not say tha anywhere;
nm
what is that comma doing after the word it in your post?
NM
Every word of your eloquent post should be published
Unfortunately, most of America doesn't even know medical transcription even EXISTS, or what it is, let alone read MT Stars or other similar websites or blogs. If this letter (or something similar) were to be published in the Opinions section of a major newspaper like the NY Times, LA Times, etc., maybe it would help to begin a discussion in this country that it's time to end the practice of REWARDING big companies for taking American livelihoods away.
Last word here - People here need to read a post correctly
I never told HER to suck it up. Why don’t you read postings correctly. Can you not make a distinction between me saying I JUST SUCKED IT UP as telling about my vacation and you saying something entirely different? What is the matter with the posters here? I am outta here for the afternoon. Everyone have a good time.
"you bet it does"
For one thing honey, I am quite sure I have been an MT longer than most of the MTs on here, over 30 years? I have been around the block and know how these national companies work. And who said my job didn't work out? You don't know anything about me. I never mentioned my job. I have never and never will kiss butt in any position for any amount of money. Where is "holier than thou" attitude? I don't think any of the MTs that are posting have that attitude. They are simply tired of working and working and not being appreciated. You MUST BE one of those butt kissers that you refer to because if you look around at the posters, most of them are in agreement. The ones that are not in agreement are either butt kissers or QA because there are very few positive posts on here. And no one likes "butt kissers" either unless you are one of them, which I suspect you are. If you have to be a "butt kisser" to get to the top or get promoted, something is wrong. A person should get a job based on their qualifications not because they are "a yes" person and that seems to be the case at OSI.
It should be "you are" obviously not, not "you obviously not"
NM
to "you can be sued"
Get real, get a life.
that should be "you're"
mn
how 'bout "you're a fun one"
no message.
The statement "you get paid

when we get paid was a big STOP sign for me. All I know.


 


And "your" and "you're!"

I beg to differ on "you people" There
may be only 1 or 2 complainers, maybe a few more, but most everyone is happy there, so don't put all of us in that group.
oops. Lots of typos. How about "you just cant WIN" maybe I need a nap@@@

My (different) company gave us that "you'll

The platform is Word. Their program works with Word but does not change how Word works. nm
The benefits just changed the first part of this month. I don't have them but I remember them being reasonabl for a single person. Family and spouse was not reasonable in any way (in my opinion).
If emails saying, "You guys make Transtech rock" pays your bills, let me know, because

I have figured out a way to pay my bills with such **old, wornout** words.


Management is rocking alright, because their paychecks are not affected at all with the NO WORK/LOW WORK situation that has been going on now for MONTHS and MONTHS.  That seems so unfair when without the MT's, the mgmt would have no paychecks!!!!!

ExText is integrated with Word. Auto correct is a part of Word.
ExText is a Word based platform. When the page opens for you to type the document it will be just like you are typing in MS Word.

Their program works with Word and does not change how Word functions. sm
You use your own expander. Overall I feel it is user friendly and I like it.
What specifically...
should I be looking for? Hope this is not some convoluted complex thing that has to be examined with a fine-tooth comb, just want straight out what the pay is and what for, # of characters, spaces, etc. Did you have a problem with what you were paid for? Any help you could give is really appreciated. I'm becoming so discouraged by vague and obscure company communications! It doesn't really seem to benefit a company to not be up front to begin with since they will just end up losing that person, does it? Thank you for your help!!

What are your needs? Ask more specifically for
If you need 9 cpl, employee status, insurance, and work nights...ask which companies allow that.

It's not about Amphion specifically,
my concern is the devaluation of the profession in general and my future in it. I'm looking at an opportunity to make a career change, and would like a smooth transition. I have had no problems with Amphion, and think they're better than many of the alternatives. Again, any info on the exit process would be appreciated. Thanks.

There are many MT companies in FL, some specifically for the
no state tax thing.  I know I have to pay taxes and I'm not trying to get out of them, I just don't agree my company HAS to pay them.  Sure would be nice if they did though. 
What specifically are you wondering about? NM

why specifically are you leaving?

You can ask whatever, but it is specifically related
to company rules, regulations, benefits, etc., best to get it from official sources rather than here.
We are talking specifically about MDI right?
They don't offshore right?
I don't think she meant it to you specifically
I think she was using sarcasm to make a point...

That's the problem with forums, you can't always hear what the person is saying!

:-D
