Simple platform, great people, direct deposit, pays for adt, punctuation and spaces. Very strict QA. A small but growing company. Does not outsource.

It must take a tremendous amount of class (not to mention bravery) to anonymously insult hard-working people on a board created specifically for MTs. Also, just how educated is a person who ends her opening sentence with a preposition? (gee!)
Little to no class here-thank the co SM
via email or even better a thank you card and get on with life.  How a company treats you once a year is really nothing to come to an MT board and post about. 
Wow, Such Class

Your class is slipping

Class action
You might have enough people to bring a class action, or just go together to hire an attorney...

Good luck!
D&L class action?
I think a bigger problem is many people complain, put up with it, or leave and complain but do not follow through - Otherwise how did it get so bad? I think everyone needs to fight back to this company and every company that does this THE FIRST time - if you bounce a check or do not pay what happens - you get it on your credit - send notes to the credit agency - you are a business - IC - and tell them - send them your unpaid invoices and they will place it on their credit report.
That's when we do a class-action and
Doesn't that sound like a plan?
At least YOU showed some class and maybe
reflect on how to treat valued employees.  Good for you! Boo for your bosses. 
The cookbook was the most low class SM
so-called gift I have ever received in my life from any employer.  Don't forget they're saving money by never updating the home screen of the community page, we haven't had an employee of the month since November or December.  I will listen and gag at all the patronizing things they say and wait for the bad news to be delivered, whatever it turns out to be. 
There is a not enough of a middle class to keep

I believe the tax rate is the same for everyone in a certain class since you want to get technical a
You pay for your taxes at 100% if you are an IC but I dont think she was asking about taxes.

If you are single and have kids, then you usually pay no taxes or very little anyway unless you make over 30,000 a year.
disappearance of the middle class...
actually, we have always been 'poor' so to speak, so all this stuff is not affecting us so much...

I feel sorry for those who are now living like we are, only used to be considered well off; needing to cut back on spending, etc., noticing the pinch as the middle class gets squeezed more and more.

the funny part will be when we have some type of revolution in THIS country, which will happen. history only repeats. you keep people down and they will revolt. america is only going to take so much of this loss of liberties and rights, and jobs, total abuse of power and money against the little guy, etc.
more class than this site deserves...
fur shure!!HAHAHAHAHA!
ohhhhh my, sooo sorry (that was no class act)sm
And some on this board say the MTs complain (for no reason, their fault etc.

Ya know what, I am not here daily but I seem to see some of the same theme over and over and then to take heed. I know people stretch, etc, but I believe it, yes, I do.(one that got me recently was PAYPAL and having to pay $10 for a check that is $240 to get paid, (20 a month)
While the American middle class is shrinking every day.

I think everyone should file a class-action suit

We need to CALL THE FACILITIES and let them know what is going on! OR Class Action Lawsuit
...we need to all go out on strike! If we ALL stopped working tomorrow, called the facilities and let them know why, where would WebmedX be?
It's wearing thin, and I'll sign onto class action!
Right now I'm working full-time for one of the Axis of Evil...where, as we know, the recent denied-until-it-happened pay cuts and global equilibration of account levels screwed me, so I'm trying to get out of that hell hole, where the only thing left after VR gets done are the crappiest of the crap. I saw light at the end of the tunnel, and it turns out it was a train coming through to smack me head-on.

So I guess I'll hang onto the 2 jobs I have now, while I continue to look for 1 or maybe 2 that will be more amenable. I don't mind working hard and I don't really even mind the account job #2 has me on (although it has been NWA all week...must have hired some more bodies), but I hate the perceived sneakiness of it while they've got my back against the wall. GRRRR
Not really. The middle class is necessary - to support the welfare people and to pick up the slack f

need to clarify...I meant if you are taking a specific "training" class on the platform, navig
then no you are not getting paid...but if you are typing reports then yes...
So does yours. Perhaps you need a basic money class to learn to keep money. sm
I am off today and appalled at reading the posts on here.

Are you always this bitter? Do you have a family and friends who are safe and healthy? Count your blessings instead of being so angry and you might see that this is not a bad field to be in. It has kept food on my table for 27 years and will continue to do so. Is it harder now? You bet, but it is not impossible to make a good living of $50,000. You just have to work hard, give it your all and appreciate the good companies that are out there.

If I were an MTSO, I would find out who all these people posting such bitter posts are and find replacements for them a.s.a.p. Negativity spreads like poison, and with the world in the state it is, we should bond together not make it worse.
As a whole.. nice people to work for, decent benefits but the get off/on the system, work/no work,
is maddening. I couldnt pay my bills or even work the schedule I was assigned. They would ask us not to work until work built up in the evenings and I specifically wanted to work days as I have kids etc. It just didnt work out for me but to each his own. It just seems there has to be a better balance in this business that what is happening.
I did speak with my manager. Work was promised. No work there when I needed to work.
I see the reports everyday too, but when I get work it is of bad quality, then there is no work unless I work diffrent shifts. Thank you.
My liaison always says to work on secondary when primary is low on work/no work. n/m

That is a BIG problem at TransTech is leads assigning work, rather than letting the work flow
This TT MT just admitted to that fact.  It has been very obvious, as so easy to tell how work comes into our que and then gets pulled out as fast as it came in and replaced with YUKKY dictators.   VERY frustrating to us other TT MT's who take the JUNK that is NOT assigned to other MT's, such as this poster. 
Ever thought of a home health care aide? Usually paid training and start work right away. Can work

Absolutely not! I work for the best MTSO. I am have been so blessed to work for the small company I

I will share this about the MTSO I work for.  I called her late last Wednesday night after Church and told her I was compelled to help out with Hurricaine Katrina in some way and an opportunity arose for a small group from my Church to go to Louisianna this coming week.  Would she be able to cover my work.  She told me no problem without any hesitation and even donated money for the trip. 


And I am sure there are plenty of good companies out there to work for.  To compare us to migrant workers is just not right.


It does work, you do not need to "make" it work.. it works in all word based programs.

They have to be flexibility because of the erratic work flow. No sense in a schedule if no work..

I was told Escription would not work with Vista. Turned out it wouldn't work with my sm
Office Basic Edition 2003 either, but no one could figure out why, it was supposed to.

There is actually a section on the Dell website that offers Windows XP. I haven't checked it out as I'm not in the market, so I don't know if it costs extra. I have a Dell and it's been fine for me. I hate the ESL tech department, but it seems like most of them have that now.
Yes they do send work overseas and do not hide this fact. There is plenty of work and they do pay
well. Overall, I like having work as I have been at places where you had to fight to keep busy so this works for me.
There is NO work at Transtech. Maybe they just choose special people to send work to

Great people to work for, but I had to leave due to lack of work. Hopefully that has changed. SM
Most of us who do not live in California had to go IC. When I was there, they did not have statutory status, although they told me they did when they hired me. Their pay for VR is VERY low, not a living wage. Many of the folks in the office are ex-YOG and great to work for/with. Good luck.
1200 lines daily is great if you have the work, personally, I never had enough work so
I left and have NEVER been sorry!
Don't know about radiology work load, but we have been scratching in the dirt for work for a numb

of months now.  They hire, lose account, hire again before new accounts comes onboard, then have overhired, having to put new MT's on the current low workload. 


Medical field is 24/7 work unless you work for a clinic or stand alone operation.
I just look at the other cool people working holidays and weekends in the ICU, ER, paramedics,and am glad to be there. When you work in a hospital for a length of time, it becomes a necessary evil to show up at the worst possible times.

Having a family or a life you'd miss from Friday at 5 PM to Monday at 8 PM must be hard and

I think that there is a place for you where they can meet your requirements (M-F). There are plenty of those jobs.
They require that you work in house until your have clean QA for 3 paydays then you can work

All nationals I work for you only work 40 hours unless they approve overtime.

I'm part-time and don't have to work all weekend. I work Tues-Sat.
I've never heard that from Chronicle, of course I didn't see the ad.
The bid has nothing to do with consistancy of work. MTSO cannot control how cosistant work is.
:+
I'll love to know who you work for. I also work every weekend with no extra pay.
It'd be nice to get paid for all the nights and weekends I work.
Like I said - it depends who you work for. I work for a hospital at home - not a company. nm

I know two people who work 3rd shift for Keystrokes on radiology and have a lot of work. Maybe you
on an account that has enough work. I hate to hear that someone doesn't have enough work or that they have a problem because I know that Keystrokes works to find the right account for every person. They do a lot for us but you have to talk to them until you find the right account or volume or hours for you.

I think that a lot of companies are that way but there is a lot of job-hopping in transcription. Everyone is looking for the perfect job but the grass is not always greener on the other side. There are a few MTSO's really are not good but for the most part, the others don't intentionally drive people away. That would not make sense. They need us to work as much as we need them to have the work there for us.


I work on it. Usual amount of work. Not running out but not backlogged either. They seem to have
about the right staffing on it. Hope that helps.
Maybe is it for a particular account. I work M-F. You are required to work one weekend an month.
