And where did my work go today -
And offshore for no reason but to save money?  Happy, happy, happy, very happy I don't count on MT for anything anymore!
Yup! Got one today and I don't even work there!
I haven't worked there since February! Up until as recently as a month ago, they were still calling me and e-mailing me asking me to work and type stat reports! The incompetency of this company just makes me sick. I had to finally call the HR person to tell them to stop calling me or I would report them for harassment as they were constantly calling me very late at night (10 PM and later). I have been gone from that hell hole for about 7 months and am with a much, much better company!
Work today
Steady between primary and secondaries, got my 1500 easy today.
No work today again. System down..
How do you make a living like that? 
except on days like today, no work nm

yep - Trinidad is doing MT work for USA today....

Any other First Choice MTs out of work today?
Or is it just me?
RAD Keystrokers, as of today, is there enough work every day?

Anyone else at Transcend out of work again today.?
Lots to do on Saturday and Sundays, come Monday morning everything dries up for the rest of the week.  Overhire maybe or maybe the swarm of mosquitoes that blow in from the east every night? 

Any other MDIers out of work today?
No work on my primary, secondary and tertiary accounts!
You'll have work today, but not tomorrow.

Offered job with Transtech today. If you work for TT....
what has your experience been like? I got all the answers I asked for regarding platform, hardware, work flow, schedules, benefits, incentive, DD and paydays. Everything sounds good. Insurance sounds more affordable than other places I have talked to and they also pay for 12 hours of training plus line rate. Please only respond if you currently work there more than 3 months or previously worked there for more than 1 year.
I've been out of work 2 times today
7 a.m for 1-1/2 hours, and now. I don't count the 1 or 2 reports that slip in. I've worked exactly 3-3/4 hours today in my 8 hour shift.
There is lots of work today. Plus next week is still
part of the payperiod. There is plenty of time to get your usual check.
Sad you have to come to this website to try to find out anything, they are already out of work today

First time since July, I ran out of work today BUT sm
Extext has been terrible for over a week. I think it may be Extext. I had to wait until midnight before all my lines from yesterday showed up. I have been booted out a number of times, have lost reports, had it put in offline mode and my internet was FINE.

It may be Extext!
NO WORK again today -- mgmt, are your checks LOW, too???? n/m

Who is making the money to keep your paychecks the same????


Is this really fair?  You mgmt people should be doling out some of your paychecks to us MT's who have NO WORK and LOW PAYCHECKS.


Running out of work again today. How are you all coping? (sm)

I have tried flexing and checking in every 10-15 minutes to get lines and then having to often make them up in the evening eating into another persons shift. 


I have now picked up a PT flexible job that I do pretty much of an evening and my days off.  I just have to commit to lines, not hours.  Great gig.   I don't want to endanger this PT job because I have to flex all over the place to get lines with WMX. 


How are you all managing the low work flow situation?


My accounts have barely any work today.

I've managed 2 small jobs so far today.  My account had picked up for about 2 days and actually had a good backlog, but then it was bombarded by MTs instructed to go there, so completely wiped out and nothing left for the primaries.  And I see instructions for other MTs to come here for part of their lines again today as well, which means the primaries on my account have to fight them for work again.  If my husband hadn't just had his hours cut also, I'd consider just taking a week off and getting stuff done, since I'm mostly wasting time babysitting my computer that I could put to more productive use elsewhere.


Thank you. I went to Walmart today, and guess what, they had one phone and it didn't work!. Go

The date
Did you notice that the date on the postings shows 03/04?  That's strange, too.  Where I live, in the USA, it is still 03/03.
You do not have to put your date of birth on
an application.  It is illegal for them to ask age so date of birth falls in line.  If you want to just provide the month and day, that's okay.  The only time you would have to give date of birth or anything age related would be after you get the job and I can't really think of a reason they would need that.  They would probably find it out on your driver's license for identity purposes but other than that, I see no reason to let them have it prior.  Social security number again is a sensitive issue for application purposes only.  When you get the job of course you do HAVE to give it whether you are employee or IC.  I just would not randomly provide them with this information until you are hired and if they don't like it, they do not have to.
Did you check the date (m)
on the ad? The one I found for them on MT stars is from 2003. May not be around anymore.
Just had not said anything to date, but getting concerned. n/m

Anyone with up to date info re TRS?
What is the most up to date info on TRS? Good or bad? I read an old archives that said they deduct lines from you pay if client gets a report with errors. Also read that it is hard to get lines with their platform. Need the most current info regarding this company. Thank you.
Can someone tell me a little something up-to-date about these companies. nm
:
start date?
anybody been contacted for a new start date?
My bad. Pay date the last day of the month,
not the 30th.
IMPORTANT DATE
Another poster just indicated the date of the official merge is September 1st.

I just wanted to point this out so anyone intending to take a stand could make August 31st, 2009, their last date of employment for MDI-MD.
Closing date is 08/31 but there's a 15-day
nm
So, the ad was still posted after your cutoff date? sm
How tacky is THAT?


Any up-to-date info on Transcend?
Archives from 2005 bring up a lot of problems with platform going down.  Is this still the case?  Is pay on time?  TIA.
scroll to posts from the date

03-03-2007. Theye are posts from management regarding PT issue.


 


Can you restore to an earlier date and get (sm)

the changes the techie made to your computer?  I had 2 different companies set me up with an e-mail addy for their company, and got scam stock e-mails.  I feel your pain.


Need up-to-date info for Medware?

I am thinking about working for them, but need current info as far as flexibility, etc.


TIA


Do ctrl S then search by your ID # and the date.
Then you can compare job #s but only if you're writing down the document ID and not the voice job ID. 
Not sure if this list is up to date or if a fee is charged, but here's

Diskriter, Precyse, Opti-Script (Penn.), CIT (Charts in Time, FLA.), WebMedX, Transcend, Trans-Tech?, MQ?, Spheris, and Amphion.


Would really like any up-to-date info on Transcend.
thanks.
Need up-to-date info on DTS America
Such as platform, incentive plan if any and how does it work, benefits such as health insurance premiums, minimum line requirement, etc
Anybody know the exact start date of the

It's not the start date that's always the problem...sm

 If they give you a start date and not put you on 100% QA right away...OK.  If they put you on 100% QA and give you guaranteed hourly minimum while you're in training, that's OK, too. But what about the ones that put you on QA until their own QA monitor (who may be required to given feedback on everything and also have to justify his/her job and sometimes nitpicks just a little too much  )...and who will not let you do more than 2-5 jobs a day until you're off of QA?


More on Excel date/time
Sounds like you don't mind doing it, but if you're curious - check your formatting.

Go to the cell in question, then use the menu: Format > Cells
Make sure the format is GENERAL then close the dialog

Then type in 5:03 (or any time with just m:ss)

Also, try to type this in: 4:63 -- see what Excel changes it to

Good luck Excelling!


Up to date info on Deventure....Please....NM

When someone says it is my PAY DATE, I expect that to mean the day I am paid. sm

And like the poster above, every other place I have worked, if the pay day falls on a weekend, I got the pay the day before.


Congrats to you for being so quick to defend.  I didn't attack the company.  I only said I wanted to have a pay day I could count on.  If you cannot understand that, then I'm sorry you have no compassion.


And yes, they have grown quickly, perhaps TOO quickly.  They make promises to the clients without having the manpower to back it up. Then they do a massive overhiring and then the work dries up.  It is a great cycle -- flooded with work, or begging for it.


I do not have to defend myself.  I stand by what I said. 


Make sure you get an exact date
Be careful that you get an exact training date. Otherwise, you could be left hanging for quite a while. Every time I asked when my training date was, I was not replied to.

Otherwise, I don't know much about this company because I never made it past that point.
Need up-to-date information on Sten-Tel (sm)

Is there anyone that currently works for Sten-Tel or has worked with them in the past 6 months or so that can tell me if they are a decent company to work for?  I searched the archives, but everything is at least a couple years old. 


TIA!! 


I haven't gotten squat to date....nm

You might be able to find some info on the others in a similar fashion.
It's not that the pay is never on time, it's just that they don't give you an exact date; o
