thank you for answering. I heard thaat this company bought M-Tec, is this try?...nm

Spheris does what? I've just got done testing for MD-IT. I heard they bought out MediVoxx in Lo
nm
I heard Focus was bought out by Dictaphone (Nuance) less than a year ago. So I think it would be a s
move. Nuance's website looks sturdy, and I know dictaphone is doing well, so how can a company with that kind of backing give you any kind of worry? I'd take it. Good luck whatever you decide.
They do not offshore. The owner's original company was bought by MQ; started a new company, whic
That's about all I know. I would give them a try. They sounded good!
You know that bought your company so
1 of our fearless leaders did not have to leave TN. True.
If MQ bought the company I work for........
I would quit anyway.
SPI is the company who bought CyMed
Philippines/India/US co. from what I understand
What company just bought out Focus? I can't find it now. Thx. nm

When Transcend bought the company I worked for we were told they did not do IC, just PT/FT... sm
so this is news to me!  Maybe they allow different things for different companies they buy.  I also understood a little while after the merger that all accounts would move over to their platforms, but now I am reading that maybe not all of them did with other mergers.  I am sorry you all are going through this!  I remember how it was thrown on us so quickly too.
Focus bought by Nuance/Dictaphone, DRC bought by Acusis. nm

Got a news alert today that Spheris bought Vianeta company. nm

never heard of such a thing
there are companies out there doing it including some MTs, that's how some companies are getting away with not downsizing...it's a sign of the times
I have never heard of such a thing.
nm
Never heard a thing.
I sent my resume in the first day the ad was posted and sent a followup email the following week. Never heard a word.
I've heard the same thing..
The announcement is expected sometime in Dec - oh joy, just in time for x-mas! How thoughtful of them! not...
I have been an IC for 15 years, and I have never heard such a thing.
How would the IRS know what my schedule is or was. I just submit 1099's with income, take my write-off's, and pay my self employment tax. No where do I submit my scheduled hours or am I asked when filing my return.

I have heard of that same thing happening to
someone else and they were out of a job. Knowing the person it happened to and the quality of her work, I knew what she told me was correct and I would never apply there. I hope all their editors leave and put out the message that you just will not stand to be treated this way. As far as the outsourcing, I knew they outsourced.
I wonder if they are losing a lot of accounts lately. I have heard other MTs saying the same thing
from different offices.
Haven't heard a thing about a sale.
Not a thing.
I never, ever heard of such a thing, even when I worked in-house.
nm
I tested with MedGarde and haven't heard a thing...
and I thought I aced their test.  Anyone else have a similar experience?
That's the most dehumanizing thing I've heard in ages
Okay, I don't have any intention to going to Transcend even BEFORE I read this piece of information. I immediately bailed and am happily already working somewhere else with another PT lined up I start Monday 'just in case' (the old eggs/basket theory here).

But THIS???

That is dehumanizing, demoralizing, and REPUGNANT behavior on the part of ANY employer. I am sick to my stomach reading that, OP.

Vile does not even begin to describe the attitude of ANY company that would have such an attitude toward an employee having a family problem.

I WILL give this to MDI-MD, and I do not believe my sister MTs will argue. Those people were WONDERFUL when an emergency arose and we were called away, whether it was for a few hour or a few days. Never a word, except words of encouragement and to say they hoped things worked out well and to keep them posted. I, to this day, believe they honestly did have compassion in this regard.

But THAT is what those staying have to look forward at Transcend?

I am SO grateful I immediately jumped ship. I could never work for an organization that treated people that way.

I'm so sorry for your loss and for the extra unnecessary and INEXCUSABLE stress you were put through during your time of need.
Yep, I applied there, took test, passed it, and I was to be contacted, but never heard a thing from
nm
"United States of China" roflmao!!! That's the funniest thing I've heard all day!
Hilarious! Standing O!!!
The thing about this company (sm)

is that they keep their accounts fully staffed.  It is not unusual to be transcribing reports that are an hour or two old.  Unlike the company where I was before, they were a day or 2 behind - always - yes, there was plenty of work, but customers were not happy.  They lost mucho accounts for that very reason.  When the work is so caught up as it is at TT most of the time, a slow patch is much more noticeable more quickly.  As far as the LV acct goes, maybe another person whose acct is slow because of weather is typing that as a backup.  Most people don't just sit around and wait for work without asking for another account, unless they can afford to.  They are keeping their clients satisfied, which is what they are in business for.  This will not last. 


One thing I can say, the company I
work for has excellent communication. E-mails are answered 99% of the time within 30 minutes, and if marked priority within 5 minutes.
Had the same happen here, heard the same thing, good references and good ....sm
job record will get you better $$$ if you are willing to promote yourself, search like crazy, talk to everyone, etc., but I have never been paid a cent more for CMT, what a waste, and all the years I paid my dues to AAMT, what a joke, they did NOTHING to better our field, just took the money for better conventions, as far as I can see.
Has anyone heard of this company?

MedEDocs?   Or Bob's PC Werks?



Thanks,

What do they pay? Not sure if same company I have heard of. nm
:}
Has anyone ever heard of this company?
I am wondering if anyone has ever heard of LARTECH Healthprime from Texas?  Good company or bad company?  
WPU? anyone heard anything about this company? nm
nm
have not heard anything about this company, but.....
you are lucky to have a company offer to mentor you. Take this opportunity and run with it. Learn all you can, and try to stay with them for one year. After that, you can apply elsewhere.

Good luck!!

p.s. helpful hint is to by a cheap telephone book, A-Z type, and write all the new words and terms you hear in that book. This trick worked wonders for me 17 years ago.
Has anyone heard of a company SM

having an attitude modification course?  A co-worker of mine stated her supervisor did not like her attitude and assigned her to attitude modification, where she was mentored by someone for six months on changing her attitude. No, this wasn't me! LOL!


I never heard of such a thing.  I was really shocked, but didn't want to press the issue with said co-worker since she might yell at me. 


Has anyone ever heard of this?  I would think it would just exist in the military or police department.


Never heard of your company. (sm)
Sorry to say, but I've been coming to this board for a long time and I've never heard a word about your company. That's either very good, or very bad. Why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself?
Has anyone ever heard of this company?
I just got a pretty generic looking e-mail from a Ctu, Inc.  Has anyone ever heard of this company?  They were looking for IC's, but you could only have "high speed, but not DSL" which I thought was the same....but anyway....anyone heard of these people?
Have you heard of this company?
Has anyone had any experience with CMC Medical Transcription, Seattle, Washington?
I worked for this company. The one thing they do have
Maybe you should ask for backup accounts, more than 1. They never run out of work, at least they didn't when I worked there 6 months ago. On the other hand, they have been hiring a lot lately. Can't hurt to ask for a backup.
I've heard that about this company.....sm
it's too bad that they require new hires to work one weekend day, otherwise I'd be applying with them.
Here's a company I've never heard of ...

This is a company that seems to be hiring.  I believe they are in Virginia.  I know nothing; just stumbled across their website and thought they looked interesting.

INSCRIBE?? Anyone ever heard of this company? s/m
I was offered a job, but don't have the details yet.  I have never heard of this company and would appreciate ANY information anyone can give me.  TIA!
Any company can set up any rules they want to. I have heard of a few
companies that dock you for errors. 3.5 to 4 cpl is about standard for VR from what I have seen.
wow, from a company I heard a lot of good from..sm
that's pretty junk. Sorry to hear that.
Accustat, anyone heard of this company
and know anything about them
anyone heard of the company Multitranscription? nm

I've never heard of this company.
Maybe their transcriptionists don't frequent this board.
Same thing happened to me. Distrustful Company
d
I envy you. 5 years ago at my company I would have said the same thing
Now they are using such unfriendly software, can't fix any of the problems, it seems, and I'm seriously thinking of moving on.  The owner hires her friends, and I really don't think anyone is qualified.  JMO, of course.
Going through the same thing. Wondered if you are working for the same company..
Can you give us a clue who you are talking about. I think it is who I also work for if their name just has initials. If it is, then I will tell you what a big part is...they are overhiring for the wrong accounts and acting desperate on other accounts. Ridiculous. Someone does not know how to organize the work flow.
Don't be too skeptical..same thing happens at my company. I think as it nears the end of the pay
period people panic if they are not where they want to be at so it seems like everyone jumps online to get in a much work as they can and it ends up being slim pickens. So, honestly, I don't think the other poster is making excuses. It does happen.
not from Seascript but get that same type of thing from another company. Then
they called me twice asking me to send in paperwork which I couldn't send because their e-mail kept rejecting it. Glad I moved on.
