How many accts did you experience in 3 days? Been there for a few months and so far so good. I find
but compared to where I was the lines sure do add up, and I absolutely love my acct, supervisor, tech people and QA! All have been great!!
Guess we all can't be put on good accts. Gotta be there at the right time. Both of my accts.

Anybody else at Precyse losing $$ on taxes? Had

That's $281/mo loss of income last year due to both low work volumes and 50% line rate decrease with voice recognition.  The wave of the future is not to increase our earnings but to decrease.  They say the clients want ASR so they have to pay less which, of course, they take out of our pockets.  When the CEO sends around his Precyse made wonderful profits crap, I wanna barf.  Wonder how much of a pay cut he took to keep a client happy. 


Losing good employees

They are about to lose another one...I'm a long time employee and just can't take it anymore.  I work on multiple platforms and still have no work and the work I do have is 90% ESLs.  I went from about 20% to 30% ESLs to suddenly 80% to 90% ESLs.  You tell me these hospitals have no American doctors?  It must all be going to India but you tell me why the Indians are not doing the Indian doctors?  Wouldn't that be easier for them?  I have had no raise ever since I've been here.  Always told I'm at the top of the pay limit.  I'm giving my notice right after Thanksgiving.


Just left Precyse a couple months ago and it
was still that same way.  Nothing has changed, but the work coming from India has improved.
Good for you, if that is true. It is really a losing game. Wouldn't advise anyone to pursue it.

You have to lie a lot, wouldn't you agree?  It is all bait and switch for the recruiters.  They promise a lot, but the companies do not follow through.  Care to say who it is you are a hiring manager for?  LOL.  Never heard it called that before.


I have no good accts, all ESL. nm

*good morning* !! Accts are not named here! NM
NM
I started there about a month ago. My two accts are good. Not sure on the switching nm

You were given too many specialties/accts to make any good money.
s
12 hour window on my accts - pay for acute good. (sm)
Work flow steady, weekend and shift differentials, OT offered at times.

I think things are different for some people depending on the TAT and specifics for their accounts.

Talk to a recruiter, they can give you much more info.


I hated it there, they sent good accts to India (spheris global). nm

Pay offered last year was 8 cpl/w on 1100 lpd. Some posters said they lost all their good accts
s
Most people get lucky and get good accts. I was also one put on an acct that had me leaving para

How are the MW accts that use the ExText? Good sound? Lots of work? Acute care or clinic? Thx. nm

Definitely noticeable and something that has been complained about at all the companies

Offered pay for 6 months experience... any good?

I got offered a position to type some reports in a specialty I have been typing for 6 months.  I was offered 7cpl for 65 character line.  Does not pay for hard returns, tabs, empty lines, headers, footers are not paid.  Spaces between words are. 


At my other position I was getting 6cpl including hard returns. 


How do I figure out if this new offer is equal or better than what I already had? 


Yes, I know neither are high paying.  I am new to the industry, only finished my course 7months ago.  BUT, this particular specialty is easy for me and I have very high marks with QA.


Any and all advise is welcome.  Thanks!


Good luck with precyse
Over 10 years experience, worked there for years, still not make 9 cpl
Precyse good or bad and info?
I am wanting to know about Precyse, good or bad as far as communication, supervisors, training, and platforms.  Information regarding radiology would be appreciated.  If their platform is anything like their test, I like it.
Is Precyse a good company?

I am supposed to talk with them soon after testing out okay.  Just curious if they are good company to work for.


I think this is the same person who complained about this before and she doesn't even work there
nm
What is the DSG1 platform do you known. I thought it was DSG 2 that everyone complained about.
:
If people complained, just send a card
and let that be that.
To all of you who have complained about QA and it has fallen on my deaf ears...sm
I FLIPPING APOLOGIZE!!!!

I have had the mother of all run ins with QA today. This is a new job for me, I have not been happy, but it is a job, you know?

I can't imagine I have made that many stupid mistakes! I don't as a rule. I have had a tough week, it is true. I have been sick, had some family problems, etc. but this takes the cake.

I had the doctor say: Scratch that, use... QA corrected to include the scratch that sentence. Counted me off. Lovely.

We have BOS specifics, company style guide and account specifics. Apparently, the QA person didn't read any of these and corrected my work to reflect BOS 1 style, when we were told to use BOS 2. Okay...

She corrected properly placed commas.

She added words that the doctor didn't say to make it sound better. We can't do that, it is V-E-R-B-A-T-I-M verbatim. She corrected for past tense on a doctor that never uses that and is an ESL, so his language usage is not what we would call correct, exactly, but he makes sense in a round about way. Gotta type what he says, right?

EVERY SINGLE STUPID REPORT was overly corrected, incorrectly corrected, had things that are incorrect in the BOS, the company guide AND the account specifics...

I have not had this much of a run in with QA in about 10 years and I am livid. I know I have typos here and I am not making sense, but I am so angry, I have tears in my eyes.

I had a friend, a former MT, tell me that what I have here is a situation where someone of inferior intelligence, less experience than I have who is vastly over-correcting my work because she is on a power trip!

Any suggestions?

It would not matter that you complained to your company, they will just say, "there is no work
but the truth is, I want work, you want work. I don't know you, you don't know me (even in the same company). I doubt either of us will complain to anybody if we get work however we get it. You are right, we have families too and need the money. Companies lie all the time, making us job hoppers in a lot of cases because there is not enough work after hiring on that there was plenty, or we got all the ESLs and crummy dictation because we have more experience. That to me is taking money out of my pocket and playing bowling, handicapping me for transcriptionists who have not paid their dues. I don't make the rules but I don't have to continue to work for a company who does those things and there are a slew out there and they don't care if you quit. On the day you quit they already had an ad for more transcriptionists which is what amazes me. It costs money to train us for their platforms and they don't care when we say we have to quit because we aren't making money. No loyalty whatsoever with companies.
Precyse rate was good but they were always running out of work.
nm
What about sound quality and tech support? Both have been complained about in the past. Thx. nm

RE: I've been with Transform for 2 months and so far, so good. Nice people to work with, (sm)
pay is on time, direct deposit, etc. 
Precyse is basically a good company that has a serious problem with communication. nm
nm
Been there 9 months and LOVE it!!! Plenty of work, good platform, great staff.
I finally found a home.
Does anyone know if Precyse Solutions is a good company that pays on time and has plenty
of work?
reporting cherry pickers falls on deaf ears. I have complained for years.

I work 2 accts, always work available, pay as IC is good..
They offered me more than Transcend did, I work 2nd shift, work always availble, OT usually available. Staff is very responsive to questions, very helpful.


TransTech and low/no work for months and months _ don't think there are continous holidays LOL

This HORRIBLE low/no work situation has been going on at TT for almost a year now.  You can't convince me it is due to Memorial Day.  Are holidays now assigned in this world to being daily. 


That is an excuse these companies use in these no work situations, but it is due to their OVERHIRING.  Holidays just come on a daily basis, but LOW WORK/NO WORK is happening and has happened going on a year now at TransTech.  Always asking to flex into the middle of the night, EVERY weekend, etc. 


The TT mgmt checks are NEVER affected, tho, so they can continue to HIRE EVERY MT who gives them a call, and create a NO WORK situation for all of us.  The newbie MT's are cheering at first, but then realize that it hit them in the paycheck, too, and very soon it did!!!!!!!


My company has been low on work for months and months..sm
Tired of getting the same ol' message that things will pick up.  I remember the days of bonuses, making money and being able to pay my bills!  I am also wondering what is going with these companies not having work.  Is everybody sending work overseas?
I am not losing anything as those
do not apply to me.
So after losing all that, what did you do? nm

They are losing their credibility, though.
We started that new account just a month ago and already fighting for work. I cannot do this anymore. I cannot be tied to my computer all day long just to get my line counts in. Does anyone know a good place to start with companies?
Losing account
Do you work for the company whose name starts with F? Have you received info on a new account yet?

I was very panicked last week when I got this news. I have settled down a little bit now, but also I have started looking.
they are probably losing accounts or going to VR..sm
Have the attitudes of people in the office changed for the better? I remember the nastiest dispositions I have ever encountered in this business.

Good luck in your job search.
You have posting so much you seem to be losing it now
You are saying with a trust fund you would be able to make money on VR. Have you taken your medication today? Run along and say nite-nite to the grownups.
It's a losing battle
Or, at least, it has been for me. I got off on the wrong foot with QA where I am now and it has been drudgery ever since. Yeah, I was right in what I said and they were wrong or at least were not 100% right (a judgment call type of thing) but since then I get the crappy work, I get nitpicked on everything, and I think I am tagged 'the troublemaker' in general. I dread working now. Unfortunately, in this situation, if you stand up for yourself with QA you end up losing either way. You lose for the points being marked off and you lose for getting that label right out of the gait.
I'm not losing out; I have had my own accounts for
they aren't going to get anything better than they had with MDI.  Just not gonna happen.  Not everyone has the ability (opportunity, connections, know how, experience) to get their own accounts.  I feel fortunate that it has come easily to me.  I loved MDI but left because I made more with my own accounts.  If not for those accounts, though, I would have definitely stayed with MDI.  If i were with MDI now, in the situation today, I don't know what I would do...
I'm sorry the Heartland MTs are losing their jobs, but
why the outrage over offshoring.  They knew HL offshored work, yet they continued to work for the company.  Is it just know that you are losing your jobs that all of a sudden it matters that they offshore?  
Not the OP, but some of us are losing our ExText account and
s
They are losing their biggest and one of few rad accounts. sm
My manager told me that it will be gone by the end of the month. It is in NH.
Spheris - Losing benefits???

Can anyone tell me if Spheris is taking away their benefits for employees?  I see benefits listed on their website, but another company I used to work for says it is so. 


This is a former company because that place took away all our benefits and paid 2 cents a line less.  And we are suppose to be thankful to just have a job.


It gets to the point that you look for a place not that is good to work for but not as lousy as the one before. . 


Losing primary account.
What happens?  I haven't been working for an MTSO long enough to know (worked in house for the last 5 years).  Could someone please tell me their experiences?  I work for a large MTSO, so I am hoping that I can get placed on another account, but really, I don't think there are enough slots to fill all our positions.  Any thoughts?  Please HELP.
To losing primary account
Can you tell us which company? The moderators say it is okay.
They weren't losing those accounts.
They weren't losing those wonderful accounts, they were being sent to the Philippines to their transcription center there.
We are also losing MS Word...don't know if we will need it for Triton or not?
