I haven't noticed that.
Frankly all my accounts have been so low that I haven't worked enough to notice a line count difference.   Some of my accounts pay more for headers and footers, some don't pay at all.  That sounds pretty shady to have a 27% reduction though. 
I haven't noticed that.
I have found during interviews and such that most companies are willing to train the right person. Most of these platforms aren't that hard anyway. My current job I trained in 15 minutes. It took a week or two to learn ALL the in's and out's of the program but most of them seem to be similar, IMO.
I haven't noticed any changes - except positive ones!
Hi there - We probably know each other, LOL. I have been with Transcend for over five years as well and I love it. I have only noticed positive changes - 401 K match, better communication, etc. E-mail me privately to let me know what changes you are talking about. Thanks and have a great day!
In case you haven't noticed,
offshore MTs are not welcome on this board. You steal our jobs, do crappy transcription, and make the industry look bad. We don't need or want your opinion on it.
Nope, haven't noticed a thing different or unusual. All's well here. nm

I haven't noticed any positive comments about any company

I did search the archives for OSi but didn't see anything recent.


I haven't noticed my computer acting funny
but I don't see why they need a report on what we have on our computer. Can't we just email them the information they need?

The pay cut thing is really bothering me. We already work too hard for what little we make.

Haven't noticed - do you keep track of individual report counts?

I've noticed

that the post is pretty effectively being buried alive.  I was replying to the OP about no work.  TT was so different back in 2002 or 2003 (whichever, I forget) when I first went to work for them.  It was pretty much like the good ole days.  It started downhill about 2005 (I think it was) and I'm glad I'm not there anymore to witness any more decline.  I have to say that I didn't stay out of work long, I'm not one to put up with any nonsense and if I had stayed on I would probably have been dead by now from getting so angry I would either have had a heart attack or a stroke.


My grandkids are visiting and they sleep late so I can't really start any activities until they get up.  When I saw the no work again, I just tripped out for a minute.  At the end even the Big Q never treated me so shabbily.  I just reckoned people had a right to some information and I felt like giving it.  I appreciate the kind words.  I would never mislead anyone.  I know of several companies and people who work for them that are much better if you want to remain healthy and not stress to death day in and day out.  I know of one who has someone I know well working for them that gets a bad rap here but she has worked for them more than 10 years, gets paid way above average and never runs out of work, in fact they are on OT at the moment.  She says she got into trouble for taking off early from her shift without telling them recently, apparently they are sticklers about that, but she wouldn't consider working anywhere else. I won't give any names, not sure it is allowed and anyhow, anyone interested can do their research.  If a company wouldn't give me a pay range I would not take their test either.  If they won't give you a range then it's a pretty safe bet they pay peanuts.


It just really pains me for you folks who are sitting around waiting for a job to dribble in. I have trained many MTs in my career and so I care deeply for MTs, whether or not I personally know them.


I'm just saying there are other companies out there who pay well, don't run out of work and respect their MTs as TT used to do.


As for the excuses for running out of work and, yes, I got the emails whether or not I was out of work myself.  The funniest I ever saw was that it had been MLK Day, as if that was a major holiday.  LOL   Major holidays have always been slow but it seems now grandparents day is a major holiday.  LOL


Sooooo......I wish the best for all of you.  Don't sell yourselves short, you deserve better.  The grandkids will be going home right after the 4th and so I'll probably disappear again.


My best to all of you.

I've noticed that, too.
There are some people who have sung the glory of Transcend that come from areas where they will stone you for driving a foreign car (even the ones with US factories) because the car put together in Alabama is not American enough. But, eliminate US jobs by sending them to Indian, well, good golly, that's as patriotic as baseball and apple pie.

Double standards and flexible ethics are a wonderful thing if they work for them, but don't try to convince me that the Star Spangled Banner sung in Hindi to a bhangra beat is good for the USofA.
I've noticed that too
For the last 3-4 weeks, I have noticed that the dictators I have gotten are more difficult, foreign, and there is less work, especially after the weekend, and this has been a growing trend lately. Would like to know the answer to your question too.
I've noticed this problem.....
every time they run accounts through readaptation. It will improve reports of a couple dictators, but overall we wind up with a mess for a week or two after, then it seems to straighten up a bit.
I've noticed it for a lot of hospitals - not services - sm
you might want to do a search on Americasjobbank or Monster or HotJobs. You may even find a hospital that will set you up at home, depending on what state you're in. Florida hospitals can set people up at home if they live in certain states - basically because of tax issues and such.
I've also worked there over 4 years and I have noticed the work drop
Whatever left is the crap. Also, check your line count some time. I swear that they have manipulated that also. I can now do over 2 pages and it comes up with like 50 lines. I used to be able to make a living there but can't anymore. I'll be quitting.
I know that DSG has their accounts split into DSG1 and DSG2 and I've noticed that the numbers for

both sides have been running a little low, may be due to the emphasis on tight turnaround time.


I haven't left, but looking. I've been

offered at least a dozen positions, all the big nationals all the way down to small local companies and none thus far have offered me a better situation.   I haven't had one yet offer me more $$, a more flexible schedule, better dictators, or an easier format.  QT isn't as good as they used to be, but I still believe overall they are better than 99% of the companies out there.  


 


I haven't worke dfor MQ, but from all I've
read about it Webmedx would be a better choice.  They do overhire though and while one account may have tons of work you may not have enough work to get all your lines in, even if you work 7 days/week. 
TSSC is really good. I've worked for other nationals and haven't been let down by them. nm

I've been working weekends for 7 years and haven't heard of this.

Evidently things haven't changed since I left. Sounds like they've gotten worse - LOL

Could I ask when you noticed it, and what you noticed,
you noticed, and how long ago you quit?  I'm just trying to figure out what the deal is here.  I love MDI and have always felt lucky to work for them.  I hope they don't take a good company and ruin it. 
I noticed that, as well. (nm)

Has anyone else noticed that

this sudden embracing of offshoring came immediately after it became public that Transcend is now offshoring?  First, it seemed that the posters who said this weren't believed and proof was requested.  Then came the sudden embrace of offshoring.  I've noticed other posts on this board where there seemed to be preference shown to Transcend for some unknown reason.


Maybe, rather than lowering standards and doing all this embracing, -- just MAYBE -- it might be time to come clean and just admit that a company might not be as great as some people think it is and that maybe -- just MAYBE -- unhappy employees of that company who posted here in the past were telling the truth, like myself, only to have my honesty questioned by the administrator, who then went on to track the ISP numbers of the people who also expressed their problems with the company.


Now if I'm banned for noticing and expressing this, then that only proves to speak louder than this post ever could.


you have now only noticed?
i type freely when im not working (this helps me not think about work, but just do what i want).

so no need to make a big thing out of it if that is what you're trying to do. if you really wanna find something to pick on to make yourself feel real, go ahead, knock yourself out lol
I noticed that too. nm

Same old, same old. No changes noticed at all.

So far I have not noticed

I am disappointed in CyMed.  They don't pay for spaces and it is very, very hard to get a line count for me.


noticed it too
First thing after reading this posting, I thought how can she/he be saying this with all those errors in the message.
I noticed that the ad said --sm
People Support Rapid Text. I have heard of Rapid Text. Maybe they changed their name??
noticed
I just thought it was ME!!
I noticed that too!
I had applied to it before it went MIA. I noticed it because I had emailed another MT about it who was also looking and she went to the site and could not find it. I looked again too and it was sure enough gone. I thought I was losing my mind for a minute.
Has anyone noticed that sm

Has anyone noticed that lately, once an MT has signed the offer papers for a company to be an employee, (that is formally accepts offer), the wind turns cold? Lack of communication all of a sudden, no updates on training, late training, late equipment and the like?  This MT has had this happen on at least 2 occasions of late.  The first time, ignored and put up with it.  Stayed with company. Okay job but not much work.  Now, same thing again, miscommunications re: start date, difficulty getting anything pinned down.  The other day this MT was highly regarded, now the papers are signed and seems like all of a sudden this MT is in the way.


Deciding to stay with original company and stick things out. But just got an odd feeling about it all. Don't have any bad references, or bad work history... anybody else getting the cold shoulder? Just wondering if just becuase I'm paranoid does mean they are not interested in me. LOL. Thanks in advance for your comments. :)


I noticed that as well.

It is like it flew over the Bermuda Triangle.  It disappeared. 


yes I have noticed!
I am only into the transcription field new somewhat I graduated from my program in May 2005 and have not really started looking for at home until recently. As I had in-house jobs from time I graduated three years ago. This year they came to me emailed me I didn't really go on this site much before now so I wasn't aware of it. I did do a BBB search over 3.5 months ago but I swear nothing came up on them. Yes, I have learned but I do somehow plan to get that money back. Ever hear of rip off report.com? If enough people file a complaint for transam might get somewhere. I lost alot of money out of that and I refuse to let it die just like that. I am now with someone new but I wish I would have known more about this site mtstars 3.5 months ago. Thanks for letting me know though much appreciated!
I noticed it too...
no message (nm).
yes, I have noticed
that too.  what an insult!
Just noticed
The mods will move this to the Gab board so I'm sure I'll have to repost later.
Just noticed this
message. I work for Lee Perfect also.
Yep that's what I noticed...
What a misleading heading US-based MT companies Baloney!!
I have noticed too
It kind of bugs me cuz it makes it seem like they don't think we are smart enough to catch on to a new platform.   It also makes it harder for us to learn new platforms or get the chance if they won't accept you unless you have that prior platform experience.   I personally want to do some VR to learn it so I have that as knowledge but can't because I don't have any experience in it.  But, I do have over 17 years transcription experience which should account for something, both for VR and other platforms.
You know what I have noticed, the ones
that are putting God and family first aren't the ones that are so mean and spiteful on here. Thank you for understanding where I come from. For the rest of you, you should give it a try, God and family, you just might be happier! I will pray for you!
This is what I noticed about VR right away
I post here and have said I have worked on VR now for 4-5 years, time is flying by on me so that is about the time. When working at a hospital, was told going on and then trained on VR inhouse and was told that our pay would be cut as soon as VR was in play which took a very short period of time, less than 1-2 months total. Things that were supposed to be done this way before, seems like the rules relaxed a bit. After VR was in we were outsourced to a MTSO. I am thankful, very thankful, that I got to train inhouse and therefore was not as frightened of VR as some are. It was extremely easy and the platform was good. I personally do not think quality has relaxed any at all for this particular hospital as you better believe it, do something wrong such as get a wrong discharge date and you will hear from them, amongst other things. Maybe the place where this particular person is might start off at the same price but might drop after once trained or knows they can go lower. I very much would doubt any place investigating in such a $$$$$ priced machine hearing from the sales people can save them money in the long run only to have the MTs stay on the same cpl they are making straight typing. I know I get more for straight now than VR.
YES! I have noticed it!
I have noticed it in the last few weeks. It has definitely gone backwards. Glad to hear I'm not the only one seeing this.
just noticed their add on careers
I guess they have lowered the pay again.  Now they are hiring in at .075 cpl.  Gee, that much?
true that was what I noticed
with their IM messages. hmmmmm
