    Thanks to both of you for commenting. sm
    I spoke with the recruiter today and she just seemed so very, very nice and down to earth (not the easiest thing to find anymore). I found their questions very interesting and I look forward to moving ahead in the interviewing process. I know that things can change with companies regarding management, rules, etc.. and I am very glad to hear that they seemed to have went toward the positive side. I guess we will see how it goes, but, if nothing else, I am looking forward to talking with them more. Thanks to you both again for your comments.
    I certainly have no answers, just commenting on

    no, not an idiot about DEP/DQS

    Just a victim of the usual lack of consistency with MQ...I was told it was DEP at first, then when they started throwing the DQS term around, I felt clueless...turns out it is one and the same.


    That said, there should not be any difference in a program in lines if you were on DEP/DQS..but who knows anymore, it could have been XY&Z but really AB&C platform and who knows what they'll call it next year


    IDIOT?
    Hmmm,  sounds like a management email from them.  Dork.  How's that?
    Then you are an idiot.

    I as in idiot.
    That is what a simple answer to a question about the acronym code for a conference call was called.  If this is who I think it is, that was so ugly.  You are not the first, we have had at least 10.
    I am such an idiot!
    Thanks for answering me, though. Speech recognition... : )
    You would be an idiot to apply to MQ
    after reading all these posts. That 2300 a day would equal maybe a 1200 in DQS.
    She's beyond the point of looking like an idiot.

    What a jerk AND an idiot!!! LOL nm
    xxx
    Get a life, you idiot!!! I hope you are
    You can't possibly be a happy SSer unless you just totally do not have a brain.

    What an idiot this person is. Thinks he has all

    the answers and really doesn't have any of them.  He doesn't know who I am and cannot comment on anything about what transpired when I worked there. 


    I have absolutely no reason to lie about my experience with SS.  It was a horrible place for lots of reasons and I'll tell anyone who asks about the company my experience to spare them the headache.  IF my QA scores were down (how could they be I was in QA), if I didn't stick to my schedule, etc. and got fired I would admit that also, but none of it happened - I QUIT and H did beg me to stay. I know it is hard with all his sliminess to believe he could beg, but beg he did. 


    no idiot, been there and they suck haha
    Let me know when you wanna play with the big people. On one job, I make $23/h plus incentive. Full benes. 20 weeks PTO/yr. Second job REAL IC pays 11 cpl including headers/spaces. Now, who is jealous? Not that you would admit it. LOL. Now, go make your hard earned sucky money LOL
    You are the same idiot that posts on the Evil Q board...
    Aren't you?  Jes wonderin.... (as they say in your neck of the woods!)
    No, you blathering idiot. I was thinking of applying. I

    The idiot who is saying ignore cherry pickers
    has probably never had to suffer in lines and wages the consequences of a cherry-picker. People like her saying ignore it and go on are just as bad as those who condone it. Look way below, she's now personally attacking the person who called her on it!!
    First, their HIPAA officer is an idiot and says to use MSN messenger for pt names.

    ANYONE with any brain knows that MSN is not a secure environment for patient names, but when confronted and asked, she said yes we could say patient names in that.  A friend of mine who worked there at the same time told them that she would NOT use patient names in messenger.


    i wish she had reported that idiot to the bulldogs!


    You could almost put any company's name in there anymore. We are all treated like mindless idiot
    i have asked for other transcritpionists email addresses to see if we could put our heads together like for example learning speech and helping each other. No deal, was just ignored. Lied to constantly just because we can't see the work. It is an insult. Wish I had never gotten into this profession. I was even excited when we could work at home thinking it was going to be more lucrative financially, and it should be but when transcription companies spend millions of dollars buying each other something is wrong, wrong, wrong.
    CALLING ALL NEW MQ MTs

    What incentives were you hired at? If you are an SE, were you told you get quarterly bonuses?  PLEASE REPLY!


    Just keep calling (sm)
    Don't be nervous. Same thing happened to me. They are spread pretty thin there, with people wearing a number of hats. They don't really have one person who does only recruiting that I'm aware of, unlike the other companies, hence the disconnect in getting back with people.
    Have you tried calling them?

    Calling on ICs

    I have always been a FT employee for a national ...I understand IC status but very unfamiliar w/companies hiring IC status....Any advice on ICing greatly appreciated and good/bad companies....How is money doing Rad as compared to hospital basic 4...?


    Thank you


    keep calling
    630-553-3680 I played phone tag for quite awhile before I finally got to talk to the recruiter. I believe they must be really busy hiring these days.
    No name-calling, please. (sm)
    We all have to get along on this board. If you don't care for what someone is posting, you can disagree but you cannot use foul names or vulgar references.

    First off an MD would not be calling HR to
    talk about an MT.  They have a contact and if they had a problem with the work of an MT they would call their contact, not HR. 
    Have you tried calling them???
    x
    Why would you be calling yourself sm
    Newer TTer if you've been there for 3 years?  Probably forgot to change the name field, didn't you?  I smell someone trying to be more than 1 person here.
    you are calling her smug?

    I think it's quite smug that you assume because you state you were allowed to have a flexible shift that this statement will automatically allow Transcend management to know who you are!  So, you were the only one treated special?  Well, you don't work there anymore so all should be fair now!


    Also, I knew coming into the job that Transcend had 300 or so employees and was not as big as Spheris.  Who cares?  Also, I think the fact that you pointed out, about how numbers of MTs post positive comments about Transcend, I think that definitely speaks as to the health of the company.  If we were posting negative comments, everyone would be ready and more than willing to accept those posts as an indication of how the company is functioning.  It seems that the bad is always more spicer and acceptable than the good. 


    As far as blanket statements go, that is exactly what was going on with the unhappy poster.  They were blanket statements.  And as far as trying to "draw her out", you are absolutey correct.  I could care less who that poster is, I want to draw out the specifics of the allegations.  I want to understand what she is talking about and why.  If you are going to post something on here that is controversial, you had better be prepared to back it up, good or bad.  There is nothing wrong with expecting that out of someone, otherwise that poster's comments are chalked up to a disgruntled employee or bad seed. 


    I also know that I am no one special at Transcend, but I have managed to be treated very well there since being hired.  I have been given everything that I need and have FINALLY found a company that I can trust.  It is quite easy to get on here and post positive things about a company, placing your name beside it.  You are right about that.  However, I have worked for Keystrokes and Spheris and have posted many times complaints about each and have posted my name.  Why is that? Because I believe in what I stand for and if I feel that I am not being heard or treated fairly, I am not ashamed or afraid to stand up for what I need.  Sure there may be repercussions in that, but I am willing to accept that.  What some people don't realize, though, is that there are also repercussions in anonymity in that you never get anything changed.


    CALLING ALL MEDWARE MTs

    Considering this company, could some people give me their average pay an hour, etc.  Tx


    ?? Why the name calling? Deal with it..
    x
    I see. So that's why you are calling her dishonest?
    Apparently there were changes made. That does not make her dishonest. It means her plans changed.
    I have this recruiter calling me
    about a position within her company. When I asked her initially how she got may name and number she said someone gave it to her but she couldn't remember who. Anyway, she has called 4-5 times. Her name sounded familiar so I looked back to old jobs I had applied for. She used to be the recruiter for SoftScript (I guess, she may work for both). Are they allowed to take that information with them to another company? I'm really bothered by the fact that she has done this and have told her to quit calling me but I'm just amazed that she has taken this information and is now using it for this other company.
    Hmmm. I would try calling them. nm

    If they are calling you , then yes, you passed - sm
    otherwise you'd probably never hear from them, or maybe get an email saying try back in 6 months. Talk to them, you have nothing to lose. If you like what they say accept the offer but tell them you cannot start until January. Or if they don't like that offer to work PT until then and go FT in January. It usually takes a week or more to get all set up as it is. As for looking around, you face a lot of competition, jobs are hard to come by. I just lucked into a backup job for my main job (both are totally IC, no set hours and on the new one just have to meet 500 lines a day) (getting bad vibes from my regular job, another MTSO is trying to get the account away from my employer, and if they succeed I am out of a job--they have been up front with me at least at let me know). The pay for the new IC job is not great (average), but for now is it extra $. If it becomes my B&B I will be making less, but it is easier work so it would all work out in the end. You could accept the MW offer and keep looking, no law against that. Good luck.
    Try calling a recruiter.
    x
    Or not calling a recruiter. That would be best.
    andd
    I would appreciate your not calling me **nuts**

    I only got 5 hours during my scheduled shift yesterday and only 3 hours during my scheduled shift today, so I know for sure. No jobs.


    Please know the entire story before posting such accusatory names as ***nuts***. My account has no work for me.


    Calling all MDI-MD'ers...

    I have just been contacted by MDI-MD for interview.  I could sure use your imput esp if you are an old MQ'er.  If you would like to respond, could you please E-mail me?


     


    Thanks so much!


    maybe try calling them and ask if no one knows the answer
    nm
    If that happened to me, I'd be calling the BBB

    Try emailing or calling your former STM. nm

    Calling all you LANDMARKIANS!! (Is that right??)

    Hello!  I just joined Landmark and would be very interested in meeting some of my many co-workers scattered out there across the country!  If there are any of you that may be interested in sharing IMs, please just email me.  I promise not to abuse you with IMing.  The company I just left mandated IM accounts so I will understand perfectly if you're not interested.  I didn't think I would ever be again!  All the IMing I had to do caused me to have to burn the midnight oil on more than one occasion!!


    Please just shoot me an email if you are interested.  I think this could very helpful for us.  If you have zero interest in an IM relationship then that's perfectly fine too!  I'd still like to hear from any of you working at Landmark.  I've been doing this so long there may actually be a few of you I do know from years ago!


    Thanks!


    Landmark Newbie


    Yes, I agree with calling New Jersey
    What has happened is that P and M have a lot more authority than they are capable of handling. for example, I know of an MT whose son was killed in a car accident. For obvious reasons during the funeral and shortly thereafter she could not make her lines, they threatened to cut off her health insurance, single mom. That one broke my heart and I knew I had to leave.
    IF you stop calling it Christmas
    First of all, I don't think it's possible. People would never totally adapt to saying Holiday instead of Christmas. But second of all, I think that if we did stop saying Christmas, lo and behold, whatever word we used instead, be it holiday or whatever, would then become an objectionable word. They just are jealous of us and want to bully us around. I can imagine maybe we just change the date? Christ was born in September anyway. It all goes back to converting pagans and having a celebration to coincide with their big winter celebration.

    No communication? They are calling and emailing me
    /
    Same thing happened to me, and when I kept calling
    hired me went on vacation for 3 weeks. Ridiculous. I had to move on and get work with someone else. Cannot waste time waiting around for people like this - how long will you wait around when you have a problem. Nope ... move on.
    Have all the emails go to Junk so you don't see them. Keep calling until
    s
    Looks like the pot calling the kettle black to me....sm
    Obviously you have time to come here and check out the posts. Ever think other people might be the same way?
    To OSi, pls stop calling me to work on my day off!

    If all your newbies and mentees can't help you out for chrissakes stop ripping people off and lying to them so you can retain quality MT's who actually have experience and can get the job done.


     


    They are the ones calling it Medquist Docuscribe, not me. nm

    Thanks! They are calling me to talk to me on Monday! SM
    I'm very excited! I'm looking to move from Keystrokes to MDI, or at least drop down to part-time at Keystrokes and be full-time with MDI since they seem so great, and the recruiter was very, very nice! What type of platform do they use? Do you have to submit a time sheet at the end of the pay period?
