Oh, you don't know how thankful I am. nm

RE: VR, I am so thankful that I am
retiring in two more years. I plan to spend my days in Santa Monica enjoying the sun and hopefully never thinking of MTing again.
Thankful at CHRISTMAS
I want to thank my company Transform for always have lots of work, great pay, great people and just a great place to work.  I am not bragging either, I am THANKFUL and would like others to know that there are companies out there who actually do what they say, pay well, and treat their people nice.  It's a shame that some others on this board will not allow us to post on the COMPANY BOARD about our COMPANIES. 
Personally I am very thankful for ...

this person posting this information about this company, as well as anyone else posting about any company on this board, good or bad.  There are lots of good and bad companies out there and this is one of a few resources that we, as MTs, have to come and search out information about companies.  That is not to say that you make your final opinion on a company based on a post here but it definitely helps.  In this day and time when most of us are struggling to make ends meet, working on horrible platforms that make it almost impossible to make a decent line count, dealing with horrible audio and horrible dictators, it is at least a bit comforting to know what little bit you have earned you will actually receive. 


To the original poster, I am so sorry that this has happened to you and I wish you the best in obtaining what is owed to you.  Thank you again for this warning.


be thankful you didn't pass
the employer of the year will jerk you around like you wouldn't believe. I have just quit after 6 months of lies, lack of work, implied threats. I have all the memos, IMs, etc. that show exactly what a bunch of liars and cowards they are. They are only interested in India and getting those people trained and on line. Be careful and be very cautious about who you work for.
I would be very thankful to the person who would give me...sm
names of companies which do only or mostly VR, possible with their own Expanders that is trained to MTs. Till now I am using my mouse.
I am good at it, but want to get better. I am 30% to 40% faster doing VR than straight.
Thank you.
Be thankful. I wasted a lot of time testing only
to be told I did great & they'd keep it on file for whenever they are hiring. WHY on earth do they test people when they aren't even hiring?! Several other MTs I know went through the same thing, wasting hours testing for nothing. I think they need an HR person who knows what she's doing.
Yes, I have lots to be thankful all year around, a paycheck which

my fingers work harder and harder for each and every year MT'ing.


Yes, I am thankful that I don't have to buy clothes to wear to work and fight the traffic on the way, but I am still the dedicated, experienced employee as if I were driving into the office and obtaining the BEST of all the benefits and reading my paycheck stub to say ***piecemeal work****.  That makes me irk each time I see that.  We Transtech MT's cannot even see how many lines our fingers have pounded it on our paycheck stubs for the pay period . . . why not ???


Not thankful for now work -- creditors do not accept that excuse!

How can you thank a company who overhires and leaves the MT's without enough work.  TT has done this recently.  Of course, there is always excuses such as holiday, school starting, etc.  But this is not the case at all now.


If you provide for yourself -- no husband -- then you should reconsider hiring on with TT.


Sale?
What sale?
i mean FOR sale
-

why do you think it's for sale, and what are you asking them,
nm
Hmm, WM has a lap top on sale right now
for only 400 bux. I just wonder if you can use a different keyboard and how cumbersome (or not) it would be to do that. I don't think I'd be able to type fast on a lap top keyboard
Rumor is they are up for sale

but I have not heard anything more about that.


If MQ were for sale it wouldn't ....sm
necessarily be a negative thing for the MQ employees regardless of who a new owner might be (same goes true for any company being sold regardless of the industry).
MTSO's for sale
Does anyone know of any MTSO's for sale?
companies for sale
What in the world are you talking about.  I am not from MQ.  I opporate a small company out of Michigan. 
Keystrokes is for sale? sm

I was just heard from my boss that Keystrokes is for sale for $30 million.  He was looking at them but thinks that Spheris will be the ones who will actually buy them. 


I know that they are in the U.S.A. only.  What will happen once Spheris buys them?  Why Spheris and not MQ?

sell not sale
just before someone jumps on that one
look on the equipment board here also--always some for sale there--nm

aren't they for sale? (cut my messg off)

Heartland - Status of Sale

Heartland is such a horrible company, it has been announced that SPI has backed out of purchasing them for good!


Almost all in-house employees are gone, majority of my MT friends left! I don't think they will survive with all these employees gone.


I'll be sure to pass that along to the sale guy.
Ever feel like no one in the transcription industry really knows to things work other than the MTs?
Just remember.....everything/anything is for sale for the right price sm
No matter what, everything and anything has a price tag. Good luck to all KS MTs.
I mean the owner on the sale. The only winner here. nm
,
VR is example of great sale pitch, not way of
one angle the sales person is using.
Does anyone know of any large billing agencies that are for sale?
If you are aware of a large ($1million + annual revenue) medical billing/transcription agency/company that is for sale.  Please reply here or email me.
I am sure she was legally bound not to say anything about the sale until it was complete. That is s
business by the person who owns the business and the person who is purchasing it. She built her business, paid people for the work they did (does not owe anyone more than that), sold it and moved on. Why is it so hard for anyone to understand and why make it personal?
Haven't heard a thing about a sale.
Not a thing.
Hired company, but sale did not take place, right ? n/m
n
and I have prime land in the everglades for sale.
x
is eMTS out of Coral Springs for sale?

I received an email from someone about Keystrokes being for sale - it is lie. sm

Yes, the owners met with the CEO of Transcend and went to dinner but it was 2 years and it was NETWORKING.  They had no intentions of selling to them and when they informed them of that, Transcend stopped coming around.  I work in the office.  Get your facts straight.


Watch out, this company is probably up for sale to Transcend.
Usual warning signs - lots of mls, low work.
I have a bridge to sale you? I guess its karma...
x
"Was" is the keyword here! Up until the sale, they've been GREAT! nm
.
Keystrokes is not for sale at this time, and there are no plans for selling in the foreseeable futu
This is a rumor started by someone for absolutely no reason. There are a few companies out there who have approached Keystrokes about selling and have been turned down. A few have been very agressive and do not like to hear the word no.

The company has been growing steadily for the past 10 years and has agressive growth plans in place for the next 5 years.

If you have any questions, contact one of the owners or member of the management team directly. They will answer your questions.

This is just another example of someone trying to stir the pot.

Not every company is for sale, at any price. Although that may change in the future for the owners of Keystrokes, right now they enjoy growing the company and improving on what they have built. It will be several years before the idea of selling would be entertained.
Full time with Transtech is both. 40 hours per week and 5500 lines per week.
x
Nope .. email on 1/18 promised "within the next week." Here we are, 1 week later and no info.
x
The minimum is 5500 per week, NOT 6600 per week. I think you made a typo. :)
NM
i clear over 800 a week, 40/week; 30+ year experience. (nm)
x
I get my paycheck every week - that is enough for me! Happy MT week everybody! nm
x
I got laid off for MT Week. Happy MT Week to me!
x
Good last week - Slow this week.
I hope this is not an indication of things to come.  I am getting 1,200 lines a day but it is taking me all day to do it.  We seem to be out of work from 9-12 every day this week.  Hope things pick up after Labor Day.
16 hours a week or 8 a week and get
401 K.
Why would anyone work 8 hours a week. The poster above said 16 or 24 hours a week.
:
MQ--week end pay

i think the NE is the only region that does not pay for week end and holiday pay. the Ohio office offers not only week end and holiday pay, but also shift differntial pay--and this is all without asking plus the MT's that were transferred there are getting all the lines they need and to top that off, they are in ONE acct, not like 4 or 5 in the NE


 


that is why it is a great office to be working with--


First week on DQS.. Please tell me it gets better. (sm)

It was only for half the payperiod, but WOW.  When I finally did a count to see how much I had done it was a real surprise.  I know I still have to look up instructions now and again and need to keep building my shortcuts, hope to heck I don't go bankrupt before I get it down to an art.



How long did it take the rest of you to get up to speed? 


About a week or two
I actually cannot remember but I think it was a week or two.....

This is the end of my first week
All kinds of problems, very discouraged, tech problems.
last week....
they stopped taking aps/resumes because they had a lot (mtjobs). now they are hiring again. i went ahead and applied but makes me wonder what they are really looking for because of the notice they had about not taking anymore, and then all of a sudden they are.
