    Skip the posts
    What is so hard about skipping the posts if you don't want to participate in the chatter - the headings are pretty obvious for T/MDI....Just a suggestion. Why get high BP over someone trying to vent or find out more info.
    I skip up the negative posts - I just figure...
    they are people unhappy with thereselves and apparently have no work. If they did, they would'nt be here wasting the space. Thanks for your input. I am sure we will find a good place for her. And I am sure somebody will not be able to help thereselves but to respond negatively to this. I just figure if you are unhappy, go somewhere where are you happy.
    Yeah, your posts just ooze happiness. I'll just skip over yours from now on..nm
    Bubbye!
    Yes, it did occur to me and that's why I WAS polite...(sm)
    unlike the poster who followed me! I too had to learn how to search the archives and that's why I explained how to do it. But, since we get the same question several times a week it is certainly not rude to post exactly how to search. I've never seen it explained here and thought that someone should take the time to do so.

    On the other hand there have been so many questions on Focus - on a weekly basis, and sometimes two or three times a week, asking other users to search is not rude.
    Did it ever occur to you this was intentional???
    DUH!!!  You Brainiac!!!!
    Did it ever occur to anyone that this gal is EXCITED about her
    .
    Did it ever occur to you to call **** or someone who can actually help you? sm

    Makes no sense to me to come to this board and continually B&M -- be proactive.  Talk to the office, if they cannot or will not help you, find another job.  You are wasting your time here, and making yourself look bad in the process.  It seems that you just want to whine and bash a company rather than doing something to actually make your situation better.


    Did it ever occur to you that MAYBE THEY DIDN'T KNOW???? SM
    That possibly they were lied to by the account?? Why would they pay to train you and upgrade all the equipment if they knew in advance that the facility would move completely to editing their own work.

    As for not being told, where were you people when the multiple conversations took place? On Mars?
    Skip
    Skip the ones that you are having trouble on, but if you do this according to escription you have to log out in order for the ones that you skipped to be circulated back through again. However, I do not log off until I am finished for that day so that I won't keep getting the same bad doctors.

    However, I am currently doing about 2400 - 3000 lines on escription and I love it. THe doctors I have are easy. Also I only listen to the dictations once at a normal pace.

    Hope this helps. What is your line rate?
    Why skip them??
    Is there a reason you say to skip them?  I've been with them a couple of months with no problem.
    skip key?
    Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. I am not seeing a skip key anywhere. I also see no keys at the bottom of the page. Sorry for being so clueless. Thanks again.
    Along with some other things to occur recently.

    Lots of communication regarding 401K roll-out with discretionary match, but no word on other items we would like to hear about that is important to MT's.


    You can skip it then if it makes you ill. :)
    :)
    Well, Cleopatra queen of denial - ever occur to you that if someone
    this industry has gone down the toilet and there are so few companies worth even working for these days?  You're amazingly misguided, but whatever gets you through.
    Yikes!!! Excuse me. All I did was ask who the company might be. Did it occur to you that there are
    some companies we might choose NOT to apply with, or have applied already with and turned down an offer, or just not interested in a particular company. Who said you were covering anything up??? I prefer to apply with companies that I WANT to apply with, not with a mystery employer. I'm giving out personal information and have a right to know who it is going to. Someone is very defensive. What did I ever do to you!!!!
    I do skip over them because sadly it is the same thing.
    Wrong line count and no work. It is just hard because once it gets going it takes over the whole page and it is hard to find anything else someone has posted. I have nothing against TT or its MTs, it just seems like they have some legitimate concerns and they want to be heard. I figured we just must have a lot of TT employees on here and they should be able to discuss things in their own forum.
    Yes, I correct absolutely everything I can...I can't skip
    over crap and just leave it. The quality of VR work is always the same as when I am editing. I also could not send out crap work in good conscience. For me, editing is just faster, cleaning up a 100 things in a report, adding a period here, taking out the patient name, adding a the, taking out a comma and adding a comma one word over just is not nearly as time consuming for me as it is with typing. For editing, I have done an 18 minute report in 19 minutes, so that is 1 minute of editing and the rest is reading. I can't type an 18 minute report in 19 minutes, maybe 25.
    Skip it! We are mad as hell, and it looks like some of us are going to take a stand and not take th
    Don't like it, don't read it; it is as simple as that. We worked for this company for many years, and to have something happen like this, by someone who said she always looked out for her MTs is upsetting, to say the least. I have a house payment, kids college, etc. to pay, and refuse to take a job that will pay lower than what MDI paid. I refuse to be undercut again!
    Oh for heavens sake! Did it occur to you that maybe she left there for a reason? She
    addressed that when she came to Transtech and emphatically that she was not interested in offshoring and they are not going to offshore. Sheesh! She worked for ONE company that offshored and she left that for a reason (didn't like offshore).
    "Any time I see OSi in a field, I skip over it. "
    LOL
    Is this rudeness really necessary? Just skip the post if you don't like it JEEZ.
    Nasty.
    8 hrs & 1100 lpd have to occur for FT benes. FT pay 8.5 cpl. People have had trouble with paychecks
    /
    Do you know what account she has? Hiring? That's practically a hop, skip and a jump away
    xx
    Recent contact said 1100lpd AND 8hrs of time must occur for benes. 8.5 cpl/no benes, 9cpl benes. nm

    Posts from April said everyone gets 8.5 cpl/newbie or experienced. Recent posts said

    A few posts about them about 3/4 of the way down this page between the DSG & Diskriter posts. nm
    s
    There have been several posts about the WI
    one about MTs not getting paid.  That would be all I needed to know. 
    Just because someone posts...sm

    something positive about a company it doesn't mean they're in management.  Think about it this way - if people were really as unhappy as they claim on these boards with any company they're working for then they'd be out getting another job - because whining here isn't going to change a thing.  Remember that one person's opinion doesn't represent everyone that works at any place - regardless of the industry.   The only way people effectively complain is by talking to management along with ideas to solve whatever problems they're complaining about.  That's true anywhere - regardless of whether you work at the local grocery store, bank, this industry or any type of job. 


    There are plenty of people at Transcend who have been on the new platform for several months now and they love it.  Instead of basiclly calling them liars or presuming they're in management why not get on the internal forum and ask them about their experiences in learning the new system.  The same would be true at any company. 


    Do you believe everything in these posts?!
    People can write ANYTHING on here. There are some really hateful MTs who just want to cause problems and make others miserable.

    I wouldn't take anything on this board for gospel truth, period! It's fun reading and sometimes can make you think about something but I would NEVER use it as reference or as a guide for my thinking about MQ or any other company! Please don't be upset by posts by God-only-knows-who with who-knows truth to them!
    see the other posts
    where it is explained. Pt in a nutshell is anything under 39 scheduled hours. Now you have to decide, do i committ to 8, 16 or 24 hour weekschedule?? Floating around when you want to is no more. But it doesn't say what to do ifyou sign up for 16 and want to do 20. You have to ask them that. It does specify that OT is more than 40 hours a week.
    oh. ok. thanx. someone else posts as you
    on MQ board and posts as if they work for them too, blasting everyone. just curious. thanx.
    I can't believe the posts below,
    the poster is just venting.  A good stress relief.  Why so irritable with each other.
    There are still posts
    If you archive there are still posts about them on here so I am not sure about what you meant by that. I do think they discourage from posting on boards but if it is anonymous no way they would know who did it. They want you to take things up with them directly but getting communication from them sometimes is like pulling teeth.
    This is regarding those posts below....
    I don't see what all the fuss is about, I heard back from them today and I'm all set to go!  There was about a two period where I didn't hear from them either and it turned out that they were moving from one office to another.  I say just be patient and persistent.
    Not JLG but there were some posts further down or
    now maybe on second page regarding their platform. You might want to either scroll down or go over to the second page

    I always look through this board's posts when I am looking for a position. I have mostly found it to be helpful. There are a few occasions when I have read posts by an angry poster to let others know about their experience and I think that is very, very important, but would like the anger and rant left out. I have noticed that more positives and defending comments appear to be from from recruiters and others in management than from MTs.
    That much??!!?? LOL! See below posts.

    Where did the QT posts go?
    It is funny that a company that has nothing to hide is removing posts.  Why are these being removed?
    I have been following your posts and...
    i think you made a wise decision.  you can email if you want. 
    where did those posts go
    I came out to review the old posts on TT line count and they were all gone.   What happened to them?
    see posts below
    nm
    There have been several posts about them
    the last month - all bad.   They are an Indian run company.  I don't remember the other details, but there was not one good comment about them. 
    Why do all of the OSI posts
    Other company posts are not removed. What, are people not allowed to know what OSI's record is? This is simply not fair to people in need of a job and fall for the OSi promise only to be taken by them. Please explain to everyone the reason for the post removal. Thank you.
    and i e/m'd them already re the posts.

    old posts
    I know how to do a search, but my question is WHY???? Why do you feel it was pertinent to my question, which you did not answer. I was asking about an ongoing monthly charge and not a deposit.
    There were posts saying
    management was not liking the yahoo group too much although someone said management was posting.    Maybe it's locked. 
    And I keep seeing posts about how they pay
    so well - Ha.  Their accounts are horrible and at 7 cpl you'll starve or go crazy. 
    Sorry, I'm still not sure which posts they are. sm
    If none of those conditions were present, then perhaps it was just a server error.

    If that is the case, there's not much we can do about it, so please do post them again.
    Does anybody who posts on here ever have

    a company they would just like to stay with for the long-term? This is a question which has been bugging me lately about these company and main board forums.


    I personally worked for a hospital for many years, which downsized. Went through 2 years working for a service which fooled with my line count and benefits, and when I left there last year, I had a hard very year with services in one way or another not keeping promises.  Now I have finally found a position where I can say I plan to just stay put.  No it is not perfect. Yes, the work runs low.  But there has to come a time to put that resume to rest.


    Is there anybody else out there who is deciding to do the same? I am not looking for pollyanna answers. Just another line of questioning on this board got me to thinking.


    We are always complaining about how bad the pay is, how things are outsourced, how things are not the way they used to be in this business. I agree with all those things.  But I say I still have a job where as many are jobless in our country today.  I say I still have the ability to pay my bills. No we don't eat out anymore.  But with this job I don't pay for daycare, I can participate in school field trips, and I can take a nap now and then without any penalty to my career. I also don't worry about gas prices.


    Post negative comments here if you wish.  Put in good ones. I just want to see if I am the only one on this board in the last 6 months at least who has finally decided to count blessings and keep my job and quit looking!

    I have seen several posts that are quite
    negative, however, I think it must be the account and/or manager you have. I work there and love my job once again. Good communication, 1 account, flexible.
