Hmmm, do you know if they are hiring? nm

thanks.....you are a breath of fresh air! NM
Get out and keep your skills fresh.
Keeping it fresh
Okay, now don't everyone jump on me here. I've read the posts and I know the hardships we all face every day, BUT how do some of you keep it going after all of these years. I mean sometimes I think that if I have to type one more report I'm going to go nuts. Some of you have been in this longer than me at 15+ years. I have to do this another 15 years! I live in a remote area so I can't just go get a job anywhere. Some of you have done this 30 years. What keeps you going?
I'm a QA, and if you think newbies fresh out of
school are ready to be turned loose on VR and are of the same quality as experienced MTs, you're sadly mistaken. MT schools only give you the basics. As the above poster said, with VR you really have to know your stuff even better because it's too easy for mistakes to fly by.
Are you for real?? Do you really think that MTs fresh out of school sm
CAN DO YOUR JOB?? Wow. You don't think the economy has anything to do with the slowdown either? What about all the other MTs on this board who say their companies are out of work too?
I agree - I came from MQ and WMX is like a breath of fresh air. (sm)
Working the extra 5 hours per week is nothing compared to having pay reductions, benefit reductions, constant monitoring to make sure you are on line EXACTLY when you should be, having as much as 32 - yes, one day I had 32 different accounts to work on.
I have only been here about 5 months so far, but everyone has been pleasant, helpful and just generally makes my working less of a chore and more of a feeling of team effort.
Ditto to all you said. Amphion is a breath of fresh air
TT is a great company, but you can't live on fresh air and sunshine. sm
I have no work on either account this morning. Especially with the holidays coming on, if your income is the sole support of the family, I would highly recommend that you get another job (or 2) to make sure you will have enough to keep you going, no matter where you choose to work. I am starting 2 new part-time jobs today. I don't really want to work myself to death, but then again, I do not want to be out on the street because I cannot pay my bills.
Good luck to you, whatever you decide to do.

I would rather know what they expect up front. I love working there. Breath of fresh air sm
I was with the Q for 12 years and started with Keystrokes a year ago tomorrow. I am fast and accurate and had no problems with their requirements.
They are definitely worth taking a look at. I make more money with them (at 0.09 per line now) than I did with MQ at 0.11 per line. Better accounts, no huge pool, plenty of work.
They are growing every year, every month it seems and do not lose accounts.
I am glad I made the switch.
If you do not like what they tell you upfront, try somewhere else. I liked having the information without having the ask 50 million questions and not knowing what to expect.

I dated a stutterer once...
He was the P.M. supervisor of operations at the hospital I worked for.
I found it rather sweet when he'd get excited about something and start to stutter. It never bothered me in the least, and I certainly never used it as a barometer for his intelligence.
We all have our quirks. Some people stutter, some people bite their nails, some people twirl their hair. I kind of file them all under idiosyncracies, because we have have SOMETHING that makes us unique.
Hang in there, offendedmom, your son will be A-OK.
Email was from the president/CEO, dated 6/19. nm
Ad on MTjobs dated 06/23/2008. nm

I have a check from an MT Company that is dated 2/16. I have not been able to-sm
cash it because when I call the bank the funds are not available. What recourse do I have?? I really could use the money. I know I can't get blood out of a turnip though so I realize I may be out this $$. Someone told me if I deposit the check and it bounces I can report her to the DA for a bad check. Is there anything I can do just knowing it is no good???? Thanks.
original post was dated 8/12 --sm
and is stuck between *has Spheris moved* and WMX post. It had 90 something views.
When I searched, the only replies were dated 2004

Their ad is still there, dated 7/12. Probably bombarded with 100s of resumes and hired the

Their web site is dated 2002. I never got an email reply when I sent one within

Wonder if they folded or got sold. Their webpage is dated 2002! nm

interesting, it's back on board dated today

Their last job opening on the other board isn't dated. They were using Vianeta &Arrendale? soft

If you click on it, it takes you right back to their dated website, too. Maybe the banner is old?? n

On the MTIA website, those entries are dated July/August 2006! Now, in 2008, if you write your...
congressman in support S. 810 or H.R. 1653, you are supporting an act governing federal grants for scientific research or abstinence teaching in federally funded sex education programs,
And, I'm not saying I don't support those two issues. I'm just saying it has nothing to do with outsourcing. In order of effect real change, we must at least sound like we know what we are talking about. Writing our congressman in support of a two year old bill that no longer exists or writing out congressman about outsourcing and reference bills that have nothing to do with outsourcing, makes us all look like uninformed weiners!
Maybe MQ is over hiring now in preparation for something. Must be some reason they keep hiring when
some people have not work.
hmmm

Hmmm
I was looking at the backlog, as I am working on my private account (non-MDI) right now, but when I went in to pull up an actual job, it showed no jobs. I have never seen this happen before, so I am wondering if there is a glitch in the system preventing accessing the work. I have emailed my liaison to find out what is going on. Maybe that's the problem, not that there isn't work, but that you can't access it at the moment? Which would explain the mounting minutes.
Hmmm...
Again, do you or anyone here actually represent this company's upper management group? How old are you -- 12??? How do you actually have enough time to give a crap about a forum and what's being said??? COME ON!!!
Laurie: Don't you have a JOB to do??? LOL
hmmm....sm
it seems to me that since this person/company had not paid his ICs or employees for such a long time and that he lied to them about the *check being in the mail*, that the cost to overnight it should be on his head. If he had paid on time, it wouldn't be necessary to overnight anything...and since when does it cost $25 to overnight something the size of a business envelope???!!! talk about a ripoff. and you're on HIS side?? geezzz. you wouldn't be so congenial if it was YOUR money he had not sent.
hmmm wonder who?
OPS is under a lot of heat about jobs out of Turn Around Time but the supervisors should definately not do that without offering overtime.
Hmmm....not right.
They were probably getting you to do live work for free. There is no way I would do that many jobs for a test.
Hmmm...not sure who to believe now sm
How much experience do you have to get that offer? Also, is this for straight typing? I'm not sure who to believe now. I just know there is no way I would work for 7 or 8 cpl unless I was a brand new MT! Thanks!
hmmm...I wonder if that would be --sm
80% conVICTS on parole and 20% professionals? I didn't get it either, but it has something to do with parole, so I was thinking prison. maybe the OP will explain.
hmmm
I emailed with a few times today. Maybe your email got lost. I know they have a few different platforms and that's about it.
hmmm
Guess that particular company realized that they just lost a dependable employee who dumped them instead of the other way around...you go girl...and good luck with your endeavors!
hmmm
I hope that's not the case, because then I'm out almost $200. They should have told me that. Sneaky.
Hmmm
I apologize if I came off as being hateful. It was not my intention. I merely asked how long you had been a transcriptionist. Work can be overflowing all the time. Transtech has a lot of WONDERFUL accounts and like I said in my previous post it will only be a minute before it's back and you are able to get all the lines you want. Again, I apologize if my post sounded rude. That is not my intention and it's not like me to try to belittle or put someone down.
Hmmm
I wonder if they have a clue why they are always looking for help, Ya think.
hmmm.
No, I disagree with you again. Not everyone wants to be a part of the inner workings, they just want to know if they will have a job when all is said and done. I have been through a buyout. I have seen how the fact that hundreds of people are going to lose their jobs is kept secret. While I am not saying this is the case at Webmedx, I am saying that it happens EVERY DAY, so people need to look out for themselves and not be so naive. It isn't so much a matter of not agreeing with a process, it is a matter of being told you don't have a job anymore. Point blank.
Hmmm - sm
Sounds to me more like you quit if she offered you work and you refused. Think she's already printed off a copy of that post???
Hmmm
I would NEVER accept a position who offers less than 9 cpl to me, but even that is a slap in the face. I am so done with this crap. MT was so profitable in the 80s, now it is nothing comparable but to working at McDonald's. 
Hmmm
The OP stated she doesn't like to read negative posts. So, you come and attack me? Sounds like you need to look in the mirror. Furthermore, you know more about temper tantrums than I've had experience with in my lifetime with your description. Sounds like you may be talking about yourself.
Kind of funny how you are against attacking, but you attack me. NICE! REAL NICE!
Are you the one that never got any attention because your post sure sounds like it? LOL yourself... 
Hmmm, not sure (SM)
My husband has a part time job and FICA and Medicare are taken out. We do not report his earnings to Social Security but he still has taxes taken out, and that seems to be required according to the reference in my original post.
Interestingly, his SS check does increase a little bit each year based on the earnings he had in the previous year.
It seems like those 2 references are saying 2 different things, so I don't get it. ????
Hmmm....
Maybe I misunderstood. I thought benefits were 90 and PTO accrual started after 120?? BTW, I just accepted a position with them using BeyondTXT, a new acute care account. Can you tell me what the line count capabilities are with this platform with VR? I certainly appreciate in info. 
hmmm....
Anyone who scores an 80-anything on an MT test is not qualified. I know a lot of MTs who have been out for decades and they can't pass these tests because of the BOS. I was not originally trained on the actual BOS, just on what the company I was going to be working for wanted. I thought all companies would be close to that but I learned very quickly that is far from true.
You aren't experienced. You have typed one physician according to what I read and subbed for a company who operates in a shady fashion on the down-low.
I have 9 years of experience. I have typed for over 50 physicians and I sub for many companies. NONE of those companies are shady or low-down they are the actual physician office where I return the work and the physician pulls out his wallet to pay me cash. I only work when the regular transcriptionists cannot keep up and the quarterly books have too much overhead from too many files that the Transcription was not completed. This isn't shady, this is a best business practice so that the bottom line looks good for the investors and insurance companies.
It didn't occur to you to use a BOOK until someone sent you one?
I knew there was a book, but as I stated before I thought that most companies used the same basic set of rules that my first company did. Until a recruiter sat down and told me exactly what the questions I was missing were (almost all were BOS style and formatting) I didn't know where I was going wrong. Now I have the book and I already passed the last 2 tests I took with 98 and am well on my way to interview status.
I am amazed at how much negative is on this board. I ask for some simple assistance as to where I might be going wrong and maybe some tips on how to find a job in one of the big corporations. Most people are legitimately helpful, but why you feel you have to rub someone's nose in crap is beyond me! If you really feel I am unqualified then tell your HR or recruiter not to hire me. Otherwise what do you really care since you are not QA or a recruiter!?!?!? I'm flabbergasted!!
hmmm
sound a bit disgruntled. Do you still work there?
My offer was above 8 cpl, so I won't complain!
hmmm
I wonder if the Indians will be getting a similar paycut and now be working for FREE, since we were constantly reminded how much cheaper and more efficient the indians were.
I wouldn't send my worst enemy to work for this company. While their little mission statement proclaims how they will be transparent and treat everyone like adults, they will tell you one thing and turn right around and do another, i.e. the pay cuts that we were assured numerous times were not going to happen.
RIH Acuspheris.
Hmmm.
She probably brought them back with her from her recent trip to India. It's hard to find American hausfrau's for under $3/hour, so I'm sure Shuvinder, Rohit, and their 2-year-old son Nipun keep the grounds and manse sparkling all for less than one of those Sally Struther's kids.
Hmmm....
Let's see...what about the soldiers in the freakin UNITED STATES ARMY who have to provide their own KEVLAR (among other things)?
Hmmm
Wonder if the Transcription PRN, LLC I inquired about below this thread is another one of their aliases?
