Nope. She just doesn't answer me. nm

Nope to your answer, strange no reply to email
Had nothing to do with anything except being called management on here. Seems like it is either being called management which I am not, inept which I am not, so on and so on but really did not expect anyone to answer the email, people just like to throw out nonsense.
OMG! You'll reply HERE but won't answer my emails... sm
about when you might pay me for work I did 3 months ago for you????????? 
Hesitant about it but I'll answer this question too.
I work for TT. I use my own equipment so I don't pay a monthly fee but apparently it is 9.80 per pay period to basically rent their computer.

When I worked for MQ some 13 years ago, I paid a rental fee on their C-phone and computer. That was so long ago, that I'm sorry I can't remember what it was, definitely more than 10 dollars a pay period.

When I worked for YOG (Your Office Genie) also several years ago, I paid 20 dollars a pay period just to rent their C-phone.

IMO, renting is not as common now as most MTSOs usually want a deposit if they supply the equipment. Most of the time the deposit is spread out, so as to avoid taking a big chunk out of one paycheck.
I'll answer questions, email me. nm

I'll give you an honest answer
I've had many, many years experience in all specialties and doing all work types, as well as radiology, pathology and autopsies.  When I went to work for TT in 2003 the best the recruiter could give me was 8.5 cpl despite the fact that she knew me and knew my work.  When I retired I had the occasion to be talking to someone I  had worked for some 15 years ago.  He also knew my work and my production.  He offered me 10.5 cpl which he said was the top out pay for their MTs.  He said the usual starting pay was  8.5 for experienced MTs.  I didn't take the job because I wanted to stay retired.   When I left MQ I was making 11.5 cpl plus bonuses.  It had become unbearable when the MT supervisor quit and  her replacement was a control freak.   I don't know the person who said they had been offered 9 or 10 cpl but I think if he/she was offered that amount, there were other factors in play so don't feel bad.  I should think that while CNAs do hard work for low pay, you would be better off.  MT was good to me but it is not a career I would choose these days.

I'll answer questions about PDA. They're great. sm
The ladies are great.  I had a really good account and I'd never leave if it weren't due to tax issues in my state that really suck.   If you're a good MT and keep the hours/lines you promise them,  you''ll be fine.  
nope, not me, NOPE Worked to hard and long to sm
know what I know, my expertise is worth more and constant updating . Keep looking on the job boards. Email and ask if VR, pay for space and lowest to highest line rate for the POSITION (generic question) not I have 20 years exp. etc
TT management does not answer questions that you ask them; only answer those they want to answer.

I know, work for a long time and tried asking questions, but they just beat around the bush and don't answer the true question that you presented to them.


Maybe it is kite flying weather where you are !!!


If you'll read through past posts you'll find lots of
recent info.  Why do you need menitoring if you already work as an MT.  Unless you do clinic work most companies will require you to work at least one weekend day, at least initially. 
If you'll read the archives you'll find out everything
you want to know, none of it good.
I can answer that question with a simple answer!
Strengths - none.
Weakness - all.
Probably figure you'll want Way more than they'll offer, whatever it might be. :) nm

If you'll read more carefully you'll see
I was referring to AFTER she's missed out on a job, having a friend do sort of an audit to tell her what what was wrong with her test she submitted -- not cheating.
Nope
Not yet!
Nope...
I'm already in the process of getting in with another company while I can still make the change because I WANT to and not because I HAVE to. 
Nope,they have their own although sm
if you speak to tech support,they may be able to import your shortcuts into their program.
NOPE, OSi

No, it doesn't make it 10.75 cpl. I thought that it might at first, too. Look at it this way: 15.3% (the actual %) has to be paid out of what you make. As an SE, half of that is paid by your employer, the other half by you. As an IC, you pay the whole. So you're actually only paying 0.0765% more.

What I did to figure out which rate was best. SE versus IC, was to take the base rate and subtract the 0.0765% from it. At 10 cpl, that gives you an SE-comparable rate at 0.09235 cpl.
Nope. Nope and not any more

Nope, not that one! (sm)
The BestPRN I know of does primarily psych and has a system that prevents cherry-picking. The owners are the best I have ever worked for.

There are about twenty zillion services named PRN transcription.

Nope, she's gone.

Nope I don't.

They have their OWN accounts now using several types of software.  I only use one type of software they have, but they have 3 accounts with it.  I work on two of them.


Nope,
That is how she tests
Nope, I think it is after 2

Nope. :) nm

Nope, never have
Whenever I have applied for a job in the past, I have always submitted it directly to the employer. I want to avoid being contacted by these types of strange places.

nope. but only been one day. n/m

Nope.
I don't know a thing, except that I wouldn't want to send my personal information to an unidentified company with a rapper's personal email address as contact information. This is the business world. They can be more professional in their communication efforts.
Nope, not MQ or OSi, but...
but thanks guys for the tip - I know who to stay away from!   I have played MQ before, never ever again - don't know about OSi, but I think I'll steer clear.  This is more of a wish list and a compilation of all the negative things I have experienced over the years and just don't want to deal with again.  I realize no place will be perfect.  I'm hoping some MTSOs will see the post and pay attention - but if they are already operating this they most likely won't change their ways, nor are they likely to care - just a vent.
Nope! nm

Its you.


nope.. but maybe I should be! :)

Nope
Not even a message or card. Maybe they don't know about Christmas in India. :-)
Nope. I did not see it, but then again...
I do not always get the emails because of the problems with the server. I know they are looking for a new server. But, never got that email.
Nope!
I have only heard that there is no communication and no QA feedback. I know a person from India who worked under an American's information for 2 months submitting horrible reports to QA and she never received an ounce of feedback and was never contacted a single time about the horrible quality.
nope.
not anymore - new board! lololol KIDDING!


Nope...
I don't know how many employees they have. I wish that they would come up with a way to spot check QAs work. I have seen entire sentences deleted from my reports...I guess 'cause the QA person could not understand what should go into the blank.

I have noticed that certain QA folks will do just about anything (including typing in garbage) to make sure that the reports are uploaded without blanks.

Are you new to DSG? I know 7 other MTs there and they have all had the same problem with having emails ignored and only getting replies to emails that pertain to working extra or not working...everything else must have gone into cyberspace.
Nope, not that either. sm
They DO ask for help on certain accounts from time to time and they usually don't mind if you work those and it is not your account. If they outsourced to another company, there would be no need for this.  The work gets spread around everyone who is willing and able. 
Nope, nothing
They probably didn't even realize it. That's okay, though, they're good to work for and I get regular raises and a lot of time off. Maybe an email would have be nice.
Nope
Not at all. Still full of morons and adding new morons everyday. If you like working for pennies, just to have your hard work turned over the oversea workers than go for it.
Nope,
I stumbled on it with my fumble fingers late one night quite by accident.  I am having to learn how to type all over again, it seems, since doing nothing but 95% editing for the last year or so.  Can't seem to get fingers to move very fast yet. Hope that keys helps more than just you and me.
Nope, not at all.
