Dont agree. It is never to late to try to make life
wasted.  With your attitude, it probably is too late for you, you dont seem to have the initiative to try to make it better.  If you want to be a victim, go ahead.  Maybe you should find a Victims-R-Us board.
I dont know what that means. I am an SE. I dont sit and wait for work I come back in when it is
there so I never had to deal with Amherst when there was no work because I just stopped working and did other things. My feeling is if this doesnt work there are other jobs out there.
Dont worry,
I never got a phone call, but got my packet today. 
Dont Worry..Be Happy
LOL, for a minute, while reading your post, I thought what you had posted was true, LOL.  Too early in the morning for me.  *Big changes coming* does not bother me as throughout my career when changes did come, it never affected the transcriptionists.  It always meant office staff and management.  Transcriptionists will always be needed, either for transcription or editing and being that we work at home, we dont have to worry about office closing, etc.  With DQS and 800 numbers, we can access our work or MQ personnel throughout the United States.  I feel bad for the office workers cause my regional office has stated things are changing and there is a hiring freeze for the office workers..so they are probably walking on egg shells but us transcriptionists, we dont have to worry.  If we are good at what we do, there will always be a job..Heck, I have other things to worry about..like where can I find the least expensive gas for my Jeep!
If you dont need much of a life, is possible. Better

I dont think that the act of insulting a person whether on a board or in life is no way to treat any

I agree - These things can take on a life of their own.

I agree...I work Tues-Sat and I have a life...
maybe the OP isn't that good at balancing hers that's all...I don't miss any of my childrens' activities and I also do not miss deadlines either...
Agree. I refuse to sit around and wait.
My family started a new business last year and I am just waiting for our client list to build and then I am jumping ship. No need to wait around until the worm turns when I could be making good money now, not siting around hoping that I will make decent money 10 years from now.
I agree; I studied for and passed the test. I can't do Ops to save my life. sm
Meanwhile, my supervisor who is an oustanding MT and encyclopedia of knowledge couldn't pass part I of the test. It's not a sufficient test in that it doesn't test what we truly need to know to be excellent MTs.
I agree and laws should be changed on this. For now, allowing this info is a fact of life

Dont care if you agree
It doesn't matter if you agree with me or not. Or if you buy into my claims. I am not making any claims. Just stating my opinion. Thank you.
Agree, lol. I dont even work there & I can tell
ed
I dont cherry pick, never did. I dont do that to my coworkers on my account.

What is the new status. I dont understand what it means. I dont need their benefits nor do I want
them.
I just dont want to hit that extra space if I dont get paid for it, ya know. No message.
nmnmnm
If I cant make QA, dont give me work. Dont dock

I didnt get the packet, do we have to take their insurance if we dont need it. I dont want it. Wish
I would have gotten the stupid thing to read.
Well, I know that MTs from my office have quite MQ and they dont post on here but I dont know how
many. I think MTs with MQ may be getting second jobs and just working for 2 different places at the same time which is probably the smart thing to do anymore because MQ will continue with this short TAT and as it spreads throughout other  offices people will continually be running out of work especially after going on DQS.
You obviously have the wrong company. If they dont IM you, then you dont have it on..
I smell management. Nothing you said makes sense unless there is another Focus out there.
Sorry if I dont like gutter humor. Also dont like
x
Dont kid yourself that people dont know what is going on. Do you honestly think these office people
dont talk. Maybe you should make sure you know what you are talking about before you open your mouth.
Why worry about it
If you know it wasnt you, why worry about it?  Just let it go and then you cannot be accused of stirring the pot.  You dont work there anymore so dont concern yourself with it.  Just let it go so that it can be dropped. 
Not to worry.......sm
this thread will be deleted the second Admin sees it.
You don't have enough to worry/think about, do ya?! LOL
Or are ya looking for a free meal through a lawsuit? LMAO

There ARE other factors at stake when hiring or not hiring employees other than where you live, dufus. Geez! LOL

Thanks for the laugh, though!
Don't worry, you probably won't either
x
Don't worry
I'm sorry that the OP is having a bad experience, but mine has been just the opposite and wanted you to know this.  I never run out of work, quite the opposite actually.  Also, I have found the management to be nothing less than professional and kind.  Good luck in your decision.   
not to worry...
it all depends on the account you are working on. I have 1 account where I can do 2000+ in 6 hours; but on my second account, I can't get anywhere near that.
Don't Worry...
I have known the lady that started this company from scratch and if anything, she is honest, reliable and dependable--she would let you know if something were wrong and/or if you were in need of worrying. They are a very talented team @ TransTech.
That's something I worry about...
I worked for a smaller company before and when the work dropped, it dropped like a rock.  I am just stuck as to whether to accept the job or go with the larger national.  This is for editing.
Don't worry
TTS pay is so bad that their employees are from the bottom of the barrel. No good MT would work for them, couldn't afford to, so no company is going to keep using TTS because of poor work quality.
Don't worry (sm)
My accounts were all out this morning, but they are picking up pretty fast.  Yes, you can work a holiday even if you are not scheduled and still get time and a half for all typed.
Should I worry
The company I work for offered benefits.  Employees signed up and no word on the benefits.  Now an email stating the benefits are there and have been there and we will pay back for the previous month.  There was no way to use the benefits without the information so what is a person supposed to do?
Don't worry
I'm so sorry to hear this, but try not to worry too much.  I know, easier said than done when the bills start coming in.  There are many, many jobs out there though, and I think you will find something even better.  I left Amphion a while back and am very happy with my new employer.  Start applying and don't give up!  Good luck to you! 
Do not worry! sm
There is more than enough work to go around. You will be fine, and welcome to the team!!
Don't worry - soon we will be saying, (sm)

There's too much work!!  I don't even have time to do my Christmas shopping.  I've been busy all week too.


They are looking for something you most likely should not worry about.
This is a criminal investigation which all hospitals conduct. They could also do a drug test anytime, you know. I do not believe they care about a normal person's skeletons. They are looking for stealing because we have their equipment mostly. I know because I have undergone these checks and worried too, but that was unfounded. Don't be silly and quit a place where you have worked for so long or that you like. They are not nosing in your past at all. They are simply contacting government agencies, etc. to see if there are outstanding arrests, etc. Now, if you are on the lam, well, then...
MT2, don't worry about it...

Their ads are good.  If you aren't familiar with them, it is perfectly natural to think it's a great opportunity for some new person.  I have never worked for them but I have heard over time how they use the new MTs and never give them a chance to earn any money.


Working inhouse is the nice coperate world... coming here is like coming to a street fight, a lot of sarcasm, got the claws out a lot.  it is okay to research a company, look at the job board and maybe help out a newbie as you were trying to do but don't stay long enough to catch the sarcasm virus.:)  Oops, my time is up.  Gotta go...catch you later.:)


Oh I do worry....
And like I said, I help out when I can, but sometimes I just need my day(s) off. I don't know what else to do. I just cannot literally work every day of the week. I will work several days in a row, but it gets to a point where I need a break. I don't know what else can be done here except maybe offer an incentive for people to change their schedules to Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and have the rest of the week off. I think there are a few that would go for it and it would even out the coverage.
Not to worry because I don't think anyone would want to

Don't worry about it ....
It is just someone who is trying to create a stir on the board.  Ignore them and hopefully they will go away peacefully. 
You should worry. As more and more SM
goes to VR, the people who refuse are left with less work.  The work that is left is awful, the fast Americans and the most unintelligible ESL.
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!!!! 
Don't worry about it. Those who really want/need jobs
Just be glad you figured it out now.
Don't you worry about us, Holly!

Worry about your own attitude
MTs raises, bonuses, TV-habits and/or chat room time are between her and her supervisor and none of QAs business. And if MTs want to share on an MT board their positive or negative, past or present work experiences/pet peeves that's also no business of QAs and neither is it their place to ''approve'' or ''disapprove'' with their condescending nasty tirades. Get off your own behind, worry about your own nasty attitude, and go ''check'' something.
I wouldn't worry about it
I think it's okay to read them even if you do not do housework. (LOL)

Oh, by the way -- not all housewives do housework either! (LOL)
I wouldn't worry about it
The thing is, they are great to work for. Don't concern youself with what if just deal with that if it were to ever happen. We have seen lots of MTSO swear they would never sell, yet money talks so you just never know.
Worry about quality - not LPH
I know of a girl who can type triple the number of reports as other MTs, but it is obvious that she does not proof read her reports because they are full of major errors.  That could be detrimental to patient care.  If you're fast and accurate that's great, but you need to be concerned about quality above all.  Once you are familiar with the dictators the speed will come.
If you have 90 days don't worry about it
NM
Don't worry, be happy!
Sorry about the corny phrase. No, I don't think yo have anything to worry about. They wouldn't tell you you were hired and then just forget about you. It will probably show up today or tomorrow and be well worth the wait. I have been here since September, and just love the people there. I have absolutely no problems or complaints. Sorry to be another TT cheerleader, but it truly is a great company to work for. Good luck to you!
