I think the point was to POST names of good companies for all MTs to see,

    That may be but if companies can't post ads without company names,
    nm
    Good point - companies that constantly run ads
    /
    Post edited -- DO NOT POST NAMES. (SM)
    If you continue to post names, e-mail addresses, or phone numbers on this website, you will be banned.
    You can't post names
    /
    can you post any of their names? nm
    :)
    Please post the names, it is okay per the (sm)

    moderator, but please do it to keep other MTs from having to go through what you are.  DIT has already been listed below as one that does not pay.  Please, please list the companies.


    TIA


    Can't you give her any names for companies? sm
    You have been around and tried many - you should have some names to give yourself.

    you can give the names of the 2 companies here.
    nm
    We're not allowed to post names or even
    initials here.  Their website might give some insight.  The CEO and his brother own the company, but CEO is active in the company and he doesn't know his rear end from a whole in the ground and is motivated by GREED.  He just kinds of plays it by ear as he goes and after talking with him you feel like you need hip boots and a shower. 
    Wow, I didn't know the owner would get on here under different names and post
    I guess that explains it all.  My experience wasn't the best and I know I'm not alone.  No wander there are lots of positives, had no idea the owner did that.
    Can you give me the names of the companies here that were not honest?
    nm
    I agree.. It seems to me that some companies may "make up" names because they know they have t
    one to post here. Can't anyone get more creative than putting Nintendon's XBox and Game Cube together LOL.. I believe the rapper is Ice T but I'm not for sure. I'd have to ask my teenagers.
    what i'm looking for are names of companies that don't enforce schedules

    I'm not asking whether they exist or not, just if anybody knows of any and what their names are.  At one time I did work with somebody who said that they had worked for a company and when they didn't feel like working, they just didn't, and the company didn't care either. 


    The companies are driving me crazy with their similar names!

    What is the difference between Transtech solutions, Trans solutions and TTS?  Pl and thx for info.  One is out of New Hampshire, TTS I think but I cannot find it when I google.    


    A few good QA...names and all!

    I think alot of companies have horrible QA, but these are a few that I have to say are pretty awesome.  Before you go there, I am NOT management, just think the rare few need to be mentioned.  I know most are pretty awful, and I think we need to give more company names on these, maybe they'll recognize themselves and do some self-assessing!


    MedScribe - Indiana has super nice QA.  Not only are they nice, but very fair in their feedback and focus on what is really important.


    MTS, though a crappy company (see, not managment!) being run into the ground, the QA gals are pretty awesome.


    TTS, still an almost crappy company, but QA is great.


    I have deleted one of your posts. Do not post names of employees on this board. Thank you. nm

    No one will post account names here. Call Debbie or your supervisor. nm

    Ask your STM's boss - we aren't allowed to post names on this board sm
    or I would. Starts with L and last name starts with R.
    I'm guessing the reason these companies won't put their names is afraid they will get bashed.
    I'm not sure why else they wouldn't be proud enough to put their company name. Pretty sad..
    Could you please provide names of companies where you are able to make required line counts
    and then some? I am struggling to find a platform or company which counts lines where a person can make more than 10K or 11K lines in a 2 week payperiod. This is silly.  This MT used to make 10K lines every week. Any and every suggestion would be appreciated.  BTW: Also please if you can let us know here where you cannot meet line count.  You can use initals so you don't get in trouble. Thanks in advance.
    That's the point of my post --

    We have no information.  We've only been given a few quick answers in a phone call.  


    The pay cuts everyone is referring to are to the existing Transcend employees, not the MTs from the MDI merger.  Nothing will change with us until January 1st.  The answers you received in that phone call only apply until January 1st.  After that, we're fair game for pay cuts. 


    I'm looking today, too!  I've had enough of sitting around hoping and praying for something good to come out of this.  If I jump the gun and lose 1 or 2 cents per line, at least I'll still have my sanity.  I have a feeling though, if I stay, I'll lose much more than 1 or 2 cents a line with Transcend. 


    This was a very stupid move on Transcend's part.  If they were going to do pay cuts, it would have been smarter for them to wait until after January 1st.  They've just given us a sneak preview of how they treat their employees.


    Re-read my post - that was my point! nm
    x
    You missed the whole point of my post. NM

    You missed the point of the post
    The writer was asking you why you don't simply get another job (or a second one)... Unless you are new to this biz, you have to know to diversify and have more than one job at all times.

    Doesn't mean I don't sympathize - and I speak from experience. Rad is all I do and I wouldn't dream of being without a back up at all times.


    I agree with your post, but I still want to point out
    that it is me (and the ones who stood with me) who came out as the winners in this argument.

    I corrected definitely wrong grammar (10 times the same mistake in 1 post) and I was NOT nit-picking, whereas I was consequently singled out and nit-picked on by questioning my style, whereas BOTH versions are acceptable.

    I can with certainty say that posters who are 100% against me and even started bad-mouthing me, although I corrected righfully wrong grammar, are the MTs with the bad grammar and spelling, refusing to admit their mistakes and should therefore NOT be MTs, because they have generally bad morals.
    I believe your point to be true. Because how can companies with sm
    thousands of employees have policies that are hardly worth what we pay with high deductibles, etc.? There are companies in my town with just a few hundred and those people are paying just $15 a week for great family coverage.

    I think there is definitely something rotten in Denmark!
    You miss the point and the irony of your post!
    They are mass hiring still and have NO work. The future is the future, and now is now. I certainly think it is unethical at the very least to continue to hire MTs when the ones who are there are scrambling for a job or 2. No matter now nicey-nice they may be, that is NOT nice, no matter how you slice it. They have no right to be hiring with work shortages, unless they state that up front, which, of course, they do not!
    You totally missed the point of my post.
    You just restated my point. The above poster is lucky that she started at 0.095 cpl. That has not been my experience. But I am thrilled to be working at 7 cpl. As I stated before, even at 7 cpl, I make more money than I ever did at any other job. I currently making over $17 an hour at 7 cpl and my pay keeps increasing each month as I get better on my account, so I am not complaining. No need to get down on me when you clearly misunderstood my post.
    Your post makes my point. If IC, company is NOT
    x
    Well, yes. But my point is the OP said wanted people to post

    positive experiences with Focus.  I've seen other posts like this where a person will ask about a specific MTSO and say something like just good things or no negative posts please.


    It just strikes me as looking at the world through rose colored glasses.  How can you make an informed decision if you only consider one side of an argument?  It's just silly.  Why bother to ask any questions at all?  Just take the job and be done with it.  People take time to answer questions honestly here and try to help out fellow MTs so they don't make the same mistakes we've made and what thanks do we get? 


    Pollyannas like the OP who just wants to hear the good. 


    You're both missing the point. The companies
    are breaking IRS laws when they do this. Employees are provided equipment; ICs provide their own. I know mechanics, and it works the same way with them. They may choose to own their own tools out of preference or so they can do work outside their employee job, but in an employee setting they are provided.
    The above post proves my point! You are out of line and that was uncalled for..sm
    not to mention utterly ridiculous to even read. Why are you reaching so high to make this MT look bad because she doesn't want to work a weekend? Get over it already. The OP obviously has a life, some of us do! Maybe it's time you get one!
    You missed my point in jobs knockin post and the
    you want.  If you like MTSO you are with now, get more work from there.  If not go after what you want with different MTSO, different job, whatever.  Whats the big deal with askin for more work with MTSO you are with, if you like them.  No different that asking to work for (by applying to) any other MTSO. A real pro knows to get proactive and steer you life in the direction you want it to go.
    EXCELLENT post. Thank you for a balanced point of view. nm

    I wonder how other companies' plans compare at this point in time? sm
    Not sure how long you've been with Wbx but this plan seems comparable to what we had previously; however, I know we are all paying more out of pocket - probably for every single plan at every company -in the last 1-2 years.

    Dental - I still think it is a good plan but then I haven't needed a root canal.
    Jesus doesnt post on this board. No point in asking Him any questions here.

    Try re-reading the original post...you're missing the point

    Good point.
    I agree with you. What you do is between you and your manager. If you can type like the wind (and maintain quality) you deserve to reap the rewards.

    The day someone tells you to slow down because someone else isn't getting enough lines, well, then I don't think we'd be living in a democratic country any longer, but rather under some other regime's rule.
    Good point!

    Good point.
    nm
    Yes, good point!
    .
    Very good point!
    There are sooooo many TT posts on here that all of the other posts get buried underneath them, and at least half of them probably never get seen or answered. I am so glad that I don't work at TT!
    Good point!!! LOL

    Good point. Thank you. NM
    Goldbird
    Yes, that's a good point, but that is
    the exception, not the rule.




    That's a good point
    That's very true! But, now I feel horrible, because there are people with no work and lots of people waiting for work, and I would be an additional transcriptionist, causing there to be less work for the day shift! I know you all love the place those of you at TT, that is why I thought I'd wait a while so when things calm down, perhaps I can reapply...
    LOL ... good point.
    nm
    good point
    coco about them seeing it. Mine, however, sometimes becomes distorted and into computer speak rendering it unreadable when I paste it. I'm sure that gets thrown away quickly.
    Good point. So what is up with that?
    Are people losing their jobs and thus insurance and so canceled their elective surgeries? Or are they so worried about job loss/insecurity that they put off treatment or going to the doctor? Whaddya think?
    You have a good point.
    Like I said in my last post - I was having a pity party. I apologize for that statement.
    good point
    Never thought to ask. I shouldn't have said it seems unfair...bad choice of words. javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');
