look on job seekers board on MTstars. They had an ad in there last week - TransTech. You can apply right from the ad.
THANK YOU AMANDA!!
Very, very well said!
Amanda
It appears to be misinformation. The IRS has a good website. I always advise people to discuss their particular situations with their own CPAs so they can get the best information for their own situation. Good luck!
Amanda
seems to be Etransplus' cheerleader, she is the only one who ever responds to these querries, wonder why. I hope things go well for you new hires, but I would definately not put all your eggs in the eTransPlus basket, I sincerely hope I'm wrong, but a tiger does not change it's stripes.
Amanda
Thanks for correcting me. I am sorry for misunderstanding. I was just worried that she (or he) could get caught up in some nasty IRS business. Glad I was wrong.
Amanda, do you know, if there is no
length of time specified in the contract, how long would the noncompete clause remain in effect? Thank you.
Hey Amanda - keep us posted

Amanda - you're right- sm
This is not unique to US MTs. MTSOs, you better believe that folks in other countries wouldn't think twice if a better offer were on the table. If you think that they are loyal to you, you're in complete and total denial!
Amanda - can you email me?
Will you email me? I have some questions for you.
Amanda - I would like some answers
Yes, Amanda was the recruiter's name. The test site said I passed, Amanda said you failed, good luck in your job search. Their loss. Don't want to work for them anyway. The end. :)
Amanda, I am the one you were talking to ...... SM

and I apologize for not writing back.  Your last note is still in my inbox to be answered!  Anyway, the name of that company is Echo Transcription.  I know they have benefits (remember, MTA didn't) and that they used Docuscribe (?sp) and have part of a large hospital in Atlanta.  Good luck!



Amanda please check with the recruiter
this is absolutely not my experience with MDI-MD. Quality is absolutely #1. You submit your schedule of how many lines you plan to do and then do them plus or minus some. I was specifically told by my liasion that if there is not sufficient work, OF COURSE you are not expected to meet your projected count. I have fallen short for other reasons and no one has bothered me about it or wanted to know why and certainly not cut my status to prn. This board is great for sharing ideas, but there is no guarantee they are all accurate!! Feel free to e/m me with more questions.
MagicJack (Amanda's post)

I ordered it, but haven't been able to get it to work right.  I'm thinking it's something dumb on my part, as a friend of mine says her daughter has it (in NY) and does fine.  The location should make no difference, of course.  I'm really not sure what I'm doing wrong.


Just so you know, there's no 800# to call, contrary to what my friend told me.  I've surfed around to find out what others have said about it, and the vast majority like the thing, so at some point I hope to get it to work. 


Maybe when you get it you'll post an update on it.  It arrived here really fast.  Good luck to ya. 


Amanda, you can use the live-chat (sm)
and they will help you trouble shoot.  If you go to the screen for billing, you will see information there on how to live chat for technical issues.  Hope this helps.
Amanda is one that dont return emails
Was told she's new and still hot a lot to learn.

I emailed Amanda re; some questions about working for them.
Haven't heard back yet. Guess I'll look for a different part-time company. Can't afford to hang around waiting.
Amanda, does e TransPlus hire part-time IC? (nm)

Anyone leaving?
Is anyone leaving companies for lack of work or is this just a slow time of year for transcriptionists?  Having tough time making lines.
Leaving

In my experience, our work has always slowed down just before school starts.  Most people are focusing on buying school clothes, books, supplies, etc., and aren't taking the time nor spending the money to go to the doctor or into the hospital for elective surgeries.  Believe me, after the kids get into school and start passing the "bugs" around, it will pick up - or at least it always does for us.


Leaving
Would any of the MTs who have left mind sharing where they went and if things have worked out any better. I am feeling like it is just trading one bag of crap for another in this business.
Leaving
I am leaving for a few reasons, mainly because I got a better offer, more $$, benefits, etc.

I was moved to Columbus from another office. There is lots of work, I'm on DQS. However, I had much more schedule flexibility in my other office. I'm an SE, buy produce more than full-time. Since the switch to DQS, if I work 15 minutes less than my scheduled "shift" I get questioned on it, even if I have produced 1400 lines that day. My old office (the one I was hired on) did not require a set schedule.

Mostly I am leaving because of money - 2 cents more per line, and only a line commitment required each day, not a set schedule.
I'm leaving MQ...
and I will never go back. I've been there for years with no raises.  They just came out with a 'rewards' program that isn't a reward, it's a pay cut.  They are currently being sued by their clients for over-billing and by their transcriptionists for under-paying.  In order to pay for their mounting legal problems, they are moving their transcription to India. 
Why is she leaving OSi again?
She hasn't been back here that long?
Leaving OSI?
I am not leaving OSi but I was recently laid off from SPI/Cy-Med. Glad to hear you are so happy with TT.
That is see her say she was leaving.
Okay so blast me for a typo. I care about my typos more than your calling me down for writing on here. LOL.
Why are they leaving?
I'm in the middle of testing right now, and I am wondering why so I know whether or not to continue? You can e-mail me if you don't want to say it on the board.
leaving OSi
I am in the process of leaving due to very low work volumes the last few months. I cannot believe they are hiring.
For those leaving TT.....
Did you call or email management to notify them you were leaving? Did you give a 2 week notice?
Leaving MDI
I know what you mean. I have spoken with and e-mailed to other MDI MTs and we all seem to be going through a grief reaction. I will find myself breaking into tears without warning. I thought maybe I was going nuts or something but several others have the same thing happening to them. I have to admit, that this tops anything I have ever experienced. For me, it is not what was done but how we were kept on hold for so long without work. When I asked, I was told that some accounts would be coming on in September and October and it would all be fine then. Yeah, right. Anyway, I wish you good luck in your search.
leaving MDI....
I have an interview at 1p. I will probably take the job, already know all the specs. I will probably stay at MDI, just cut down to part time and see how things go. Good luck to you!

leaving MDI
I agree with you completely. I feel a real sense of loss. I wish MDI and all concerned nothing but the best, but like you, I think I made the right decision to leave. I hope all who are looking can find the right jobs.
Where did you end up working after leaving?

People Leaving

I think a lot of people may be leaving just because of the unknown. Myself  I plan on sticking it out. Of course we got the short update today. I myself need the insurance and love the time off.


Not sure who your sup is, but i guess i have been lucky as a remote MT. I have had not been given any thing bad to say about anyone in Toledo, or remote sups. At this point all i can do is wait and see.


 


I wonder if the clients are leaving
because they are being sold and that is why I have no work? I can't wait until they make the announcement - then I will know if I need to pack up and leave.
Accounts leaving?
Is Doctors Georgia of Columbus still with them?  I always liked that account and wonder who they are with now.  Thanks!
I am happy too since leaving

Medscribe was the worst job I ever had in 30 years of working.


I am now happy and hopeful for the future.  Seriously, that job was depressing.


 


Just out of curiosity, why are you leaving? nm
s
That's the reason I'm leaving
Have been working for them with no problem. Now that the memo came out indicating they will be sending a certain number of reports per day to test the waters, I'm finished with them. I would leave ANY company, I don't care WHO they are, that offshores. I've been with Transcend for awhile now, but once I found this out, that's it. I'm finished with them. I'll only work for US-based companies that only hire US-based MTs.
Leaving Amphion
I am quitting too. The management there is so out of touch with the realities of trying to make money as an MT. There are WAY better companies out there.
No, I have never been audited since leaving DSG...

I was also never audited before DSG.  Furthermore, I was not audited my first year at DSG.  That was something that they have always made up as they go along. 


The only thing High School or immature here is your inability to present any valid arguement.  All we hear is how much you feel sorry for me... and dont really feel sorry for me.  I feel sorry for you.  DSG is a total rut of a company to be stuck in.  I hope they miss me every day - I was a good worker and always went above and beyond for them, and was never appreciated or rewarded for it. 


Unless you want to point out something positive, a true and valid point, dont bother with the rhetorical responses. 


unless MTs are leaving in droves

Leaving ASAP
Not because of pay...ESLs are getting worse and I rarely make my line counts anymore without working 12+ hours a day.  Getting ridiculous.
There are lots leaving and not just
mgt. I think some MTs leaving will not be on a voluntary basis either. Last time work got this slow they let a lot of the ICs and part timers go and that was right before Christmas time. With work being so slow, wondering how long they are going to keep paying insurance benefits when a lot of people are not making the line requirements anymore.
All I can say is, I am leaving after 12+ years.. The changes that have
taken place in the last 2 year are causing people to leave in droves.
why specifically are you leaving?
nm
I also am leaving Webmedx
..can't give me enough work.
Really? Is she leaving her current co?
Curious
Leaving transcription?
Anyone thinking of just quitting this industry for good?  I've watch it go through so many changes and I'm just plain tired of having to work more for less.  My bills are getting bigger and paycheck shrinking proportionately.  Can't take it anymore.  Anyone feel like I do?  And where are you going?
Leaving transcription?
Wow, I envy you! I used to be an RN, but really want to still work out of my home. I also breed poodles, and want something else along those lines. I just need financial security.
