Golly, you aren't kidding!
Guess I'll just have to try them all for myself. LOL
You've got to be kidding - right?
LOL
you've GOT to be kidding, right?
you don't know that for a fact.


you've got to be kidding....
you must be either related to her or on commission with that company. That's a company that is in the process of self-destruction just because of the CEO and the CEO alone. They can't keep the GOOD MTs because the GOOD MTs know better!!! I did QA and training for them - had one MT quit in 3 days because of the degradation and verbal abuse on the phone alone!!! If you like calls all hours of the day and night (constant interruptions for invalid points) and don't mind being expected to LIVE in front of your computer, then go for it.

Also, there were 18 different times in less than a year when my line counts were sent to me for billing purposes that were missing quite a bit of what I had transcribed (good think I kept a log!!). We're not talking $10 or $20 - more like a couple hundred.
You've GOT to be kidding!!!
You are just what the company wants - a puppet who can spout back exactly what they have planted in your head.

Good grief - get a clue!!!
A raise? Are you kidding me? I've not heard anything
but NO forever when I've asked for a raise, and I'm productive, accurate, work my schedule and extra if needed. And the rates are low because the extra $$$ stay in the MTSO's pocket, or they are competing with offshoring cheap-labor wages. I think you need a reality check!
You''ve got to be kidding. It sounds like they are looking for some suckers
to do a free month of work.  That is so ridiculous.  You just know at the end of the end they are going to tell you after all that work that it didn't pass because you didn't put a comma where it needed to be etc.. and how are you going to dispute any of it or get paid. There is no way in ###$#$# that I would work for a place like that. Sounds like a bad scam of some sort.
A lot? You've got to be kidding. Name them. "Big schools" still don't equal experience.

You've got to be kidding! It makes a HUGE difference. I sure wouldn't want to work with

C-phone accounts aren't any better, not enough work to make line counts there either. Sigh

Gee, I only make negative comments about companies I've actually worked for
and have the scoop on. I never said the line rate was high for this company, but nice fast software is what saves a good MT's line count. There are plenty of ESLs too, but no more than most acute care hospitals. So if you can't handle ESLs, you wouldn't want to work for TT (or most other hospital accounts). The new accounts are not teaching hospitals, which is good for me because I don't like doing residents. For now there is plenty of work and OT when you want it. So IMO a starting line count isn't the only important factor for how much money I can make, and certainly not the only factor in my job contentedness. They are fair and respectful and use good software, and those are the facts, not theories.
If your facts are true, make them public. You've nothing to lose and everything to gain.
How can you be putting your head on the chopping block when you are anonymous here?

Details have not been given in your posts. Please show us ALL the details.

Why would you be putting your head on the block by pointing out supposed anomalies in the raise structure?
Any recruiter can give out that information because it's the same for everyone. Any MLS can go to the website and see it. I have it here in front of me. I would like to see you defend your statements, because I'm not seeing the proof here.

Why would you be putting your head on the block regarding incentives?
Any recruiter can give out that information, if it exists. That information also can be seen in the job boards and on the website, as it's public knowledge. I sure don't see any out there, nor have I for months.

Why would you be putting your head on the block regarding enticements?
You say they are readily viewed on job boards, but yet you can't give details. Any recruiter can give that information, too, as they post the ads on the boards. They can also be seen on the website. However, looking back over a lot of weeks of posts on various boards, I don't see one "enticement," so we're going to need YOU to point them out to us.

If the enticement is the pay structure, then you're benefitting the same as everyone else. If the enticement is the ads, well, you get the same opportunity for shift differentials, the same CMT pay, the same benefits, the same production incentives, don't you? What don't you get that you deserve?

Also in regard to enticements, I've got to ask for clarification on a statement you made:

"...look at past and future ads on MT Jobs, etc."

Do you have details on what the company is offering in the future? If so, let us all in on it so people who don't work at Transcend know what to wait for.

Finally, no one should need to email you, because all of YOUR information should be made public IF IT EXISTS, and you shouldn't fear making it public, IF IT'S TRUE. Having people email simply allows you to privately promote your version without having to publically defend the truth of of your claims.

If you can't back up your claims, then please concentrate on making the best out of your own situation, okay? It's not right to make statements that can't be supported with facts. It doesn't help the company and it doesn't help you. If you're a loyal employee you should be trying to be part of the solution rather than part of the problem. Maybe you could offer your assistance on the quality council.
You are kidding right!!

Well, if you like it then that is good for you, but I have definitely worked on better platforms.  This takes me back to the 1990s.  I personally think it sucks, know a lot of other people who thinks it sucks, and have not seen all these happy people on the forum talking about how much they love it.  I read the forum every day, and all I see are the people losing jobs as they are transcribing them and a whole lot of people complaining about how bad the voice quality is on the new platform and how the new platform does not have enough hot keys and too much mouse work.  Maybe we work for a different Transcend!!!


No kidding...nm

Are You Kidding Me?

Well it’s nice to know that HIS management understands their program. It’s just another rah-rah scam to make the industry think that HIS is wonderful. If HIS was as perfect as they claim, HCR Manor Care wouldn’t be looking to sell. Why would they drop such a wonderful company that only took 7+ years to make a profit?


 


Plain and simple, HIS only interest in a US team is to gain clients. It sounds like a good sales presentation, but when it comes down to it, the client ends up being offshored due to the high US MT retention rate. Why the high retention rate if HIS is so perfect? So keep painting the pretty picture HIS, but your image in the industry is destroyed.  



 


 


I was just kidding
about them guessing. It's just their lines are never the same as mine, or anyone elses for that matter. Report what? This is their Standard Operating Procedure and always has been. They just don't tell you that when they hire you. Best thing to do is find something else, and if that doesn't work, keep on truckin'. Also, do you ever find it odd that you don't know any of the other MTs that work there? Check any Email from them. Do you see your name or a distribution list? They must have something to hide. Good Luck and keep your chin up.
Was just kidding.

I thought it was kind of cute, thought maybe we could now do some pole dancing to earn some extra money in between reports, good exercise I hear.   I do typos all the time and I hate to post some of the times because I am afraid that I will do the same.   Seriously to me it is great to be an IC and not an employee have been doing it for 20+ years.  


Good luck in making the right decision, just did not want you to base it on the 7.5% of SS you had to pay.


 


 


Are you kidding? A lot of us did
sux
are they kidding???
i have 2 QA jobs and get paid 18 at one an hour and 18.75 at the other per hour.. THAT IS A DISGUSTING LINE RATE! GOOD GOD!
kidding? You have to be kidding...sm

You must be deluded to even have a thought that you can get no ESL MDs at least in a hospital or MTSO setting.......unless you work for yourself and you pick only Anglo dictators.....


The Hispanics are of great number in the USA now, they are the largest minority in the USA, 40 million of them.  And Michigan has it's ARAB community.........tons of Arabs live in and around Ann Arbor and other areas of Michigan.


Even small town America (think New Mexico) - all have ESL mds....NM being mainly native American and Hispanic from Spain and Chicano-Hispanic from Mexico....


Nowhere in the USA any longer....except perhaps MAINE......and VERMONT.....maybe they have no ESL MDs.


GOOD LUCK......*L*


No kidding. sm
I'd like to see what their speech recognition does with an ESL doc dictating the word esophagogastroduodenoscopy. 
No kidding.

You are kidding us, right?
You were actually threatened by women who wanted to keep you bad enough for themselves? Aren't we just a little full of ourselves!
No, I'm not kidding...
YES, REALLY...

This REALLY happened to me once! I'm not being full of myself, as you put it. I am being totally honest. Nothing about the situation was flattering, whatsoever! I felt completely violated. It was a terrible experience to go through as a single parent trying to make ends meet.

A few years ago, I had accepted a job with a company and had actually turned in my resignation to my current employer. When my team leader found out where I was going, she called someone she knew at that company and told them lies about me. When the company I was talking to got her call, they reneged and stopped talking to me altogether.

I panicked. I was JOBLESS! Then, my team leader called me and told me she wanted me back. She was the hero in her mind. My team leader TOLD ME HERSELF what she had done--as if she had done me a FAVOR! She told me that she did that just to keep me with her. I wouldn't have had any idea what had happened if she hadn't told me what she did.

As previously mentioned, I was a single parent at the time, and the sole breadwinner; so, I had no other choice but to work for her until I found something else. I did find something else about a year later, after that particular team leader had moved on to another company.

You certainly seem to be a very judgmental and very bitter person. Perhaps it is YOU who is full of yourself! Until you go through this sort of experience, I don't think you have any room to talk at all!
no kidding
I work VERY PART TIME (1.5-3 hours per day) for a company and make $1400.00 per month. However, I am a 17-year MT/QA/auditor/instructor/manager, know how to use ShortHand 8 to the best of its ability, and make it my business to know every physician's business. Also, the Shapin management person who is posting here is most unprofessional. It would be more professional not to respond to the accusations on this board. Makes him/her look very immature and argumentative.
no kidding! lol

Are you kidding me?
Is that SE status or as an employee? 
R U kidding me??????????
They may have a mentor program but the company overall is the P-I-T-S, management, communication, you name it. Revolving door indeed. QA is a complete and utter joke and the worst I have ever seen in 12 years of experience. Your newbies can do better anywhere except OSI.
Not kidding
Heather is a super mentor manager.  The mentor program is the only program that is not the P-I-T-S as you put it but it will give them good experience.  It is not a good longterm choice but the program itself is good.
Of course not!!! Are you kidding? U think they
Just one more thing to show they don't have it together!
No..... are you kidding?
Almost that per week.
No kidding? nm

Are you kidding - is this it?
I don't have a lot of experience with nationals. Are these the ONLY companies that don't make you punch a time clock? Unbelieveable if true!
No kidding!
I'm an American MT, and I do a great job! Yippie! It's a a bunch of &$@#.
Are you kidding....7.4 cpl is low
I am working for a wonderful company with good bennies, low health premiums, etc. (small co).  I make 8.5 cpl with only 1 specialty and only about 5 different docs and a couple PA-Cs.  No ESL.  I feel like I'm in heaven.   Just started and averaging about 1500 lines per day.  I also might add that there are incentives.
Are you kidding?
Terrible!
please tell us your kidding?! nm

No kidding, MQ is getting
rediculous, I had to leave.  Can't WAIT to start at KS, since I have typed for the account I am going to have with them before, through MQ.  
Are you kidding?

Axolotl pays you EVERY character regardless whether it is a macro or short cut.  Please, do not assume how a company pays just because you don't understand why some programs are not compatible.


We use Lotus Notes.  Our platform is EXTREMELY easy.  Axolotl makes it the best for their MTs as possible. 


No kidding...
I'm really fed up. If they don't get me going early this week, I'm moving on. I shouldn't have to bug a company to start working.
LOL! No kidding!
I come on here almost every day, and it's always the same old posts about Transtech. I'm sure it's probably a good place to work, and I love my company as well, but I don't feel the need to come on here and let the world know all the little reasons I why I love them. If someone asks, I will tell, but this really is overkill. Tone it down a notch, please. This is getting old.
Are you kidding me?
Sounds like this company has some major issues and not just the platform. Makes no sense to me. What platform is this?
You have got to be kidding!!!

Are You Kidding Me
Why the heck would TT feel anything whatsoever is wrong when it is stated payday is MONDAY. Anything before that is a BENEFIT. My DD after the change was there on Monday. As expected! Yes, I have seen a pending deposit earlier, but I NEVER depend on that, I feel it as a bit of luck and assurance. Unbelievable you are angry about this. Geez.
They must be kidding. They don't even
have accounts yet.  They are having sales people work on getting clients.  I told them to call me when they are up and running.  I don't have time for that stuff. LOL
Are you kidding me?

If so, then I'd suggest you look at what you are typing here.  Are you really that childish? 


Smooches...  I love everyone!
