Posts like these just make me want to

In Reply to: So, after all of the hoopla about JLG paychecks being late, sm - curious

My teens insist posts like these are just cleverly-disguised troll posts, designed to inflame the board. Sadly, I don't think so. I honestly think many MTs are just totally completely you-fill-in-the-blank. Its disgusting. WHY ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH WOULD YOU EVEN CONSIDER WORKING FOR THIS COMPANY? I don't know the company, but have read the problems for weeks and months on this board, and obviously so have you, and you call late paychecks - and we're not talking a day here - late paychecks HOOPLA, and on top of the other major serious problems with the company, which again you have read, YOU WANT TO WORK FOR THEM?? Sick. Go work for them, and then don't clog up this forum with your hysterical whines when you don't get paid or don't have work or don't have a company or don't have whatever you are looking for by taking a loser job. Sheesh. When does this end?

As you can see from posts below, new hires make more than I do. nm

your posts always make me laugh.

These posts make me laugh. I don't SM

have time to put a target on someone's back and I doubt anyone else doing this job does either.  Many of us have a production quota to meet, just like you do.  Do you really think I am going to slow down my production so I can gather my peers to develop a strategy to make your life miserable? 


 


Couple of posts above it was 4 new accounts, now it's 20? Make up your
mind!
Your posts make me want to jump on the bandwagon...sm
and go to work for Proveros! If everybody who works there has your attitude, I'd sell pencils on the corner before I would even speak to a recruiter! CHILL OUT!
Your posts make my eyes bleed -

I don't understand why people make posts
telling people to stop whining. Isn't that the whole purpose? We work remotely and as a result we need this catalyst to communicate with one and other. If you don't like people venting then YOU should stay off!!
Very neg. posts about TH - running out of work, getting nasty when you don't make your lines. TC

I make 4 cents a line, work part and make
over $500 a week on part.
Great post! I make 0.085 at Keystrokes and make more than at any sm
other company in the last 5 years. Why? Because there is always work for me. I love starting work each day, knowing that the company I work for appreciates me and has plenty of work. Transtech and Keystrokes sound very similar; those of us that work for either can count our blessings that we are not part of the cesspool or huge corporate mess that makes up the biggest few companies. We do not have to worry about our jobs getting sent overseas and we see a future in this business!!!
Yeah, but we don't make what docs make. nm

But we don't even make what in-house make.
It would be different if we made the same as the in-house MTs.  In a lot of cases, most of the people working in-house make much more including benefits than we do at home as full-time employees.  That's where I think the unfairness comes in.  The in-house employees don't all work every single weekend.  Most of them rotate at a much higher salary and much better benefits.  The MTs at home are expected to fill in for the in-house for less money, less benefits and give more and more back in the form of weekends and holidays.   Most remote MTs only receive benefits contingent on production, and even then they're not nearly as good as in-house benefits.  How is that equal in the healthcare team perspective?
you might want to make sure you don't make yourself look like an IDOT before you go any further.

I make $1.10 per report and make much more sm
than by the line. Day by day it varies and goes back and forth, but over a long period, it is better by the report. Make sure they pay links though; this is key.
Do Shapin MTs really only make 6 cpl and QAs make 1.5 cpl?

Why can't you make money with all OPs? I do all OPs and make
good money.  I'm not with WebMedX though. 
I'm happy with what I make. I still make more than if I went anywhere else and hardly noone in th
biz gives raises so I feel blessed that I make a lot more than most, raise or no raise.
And always make sure you don't make line
counts that amount to anything.  They always place you with impossible ESLs as soon as you start making decent money. 
I make more than that with Spheris but never have work. I would rather make $1.25 and have work. s
My SIL works for KS, and she gets paid double for linked reports too. Where do you get $2.25? I am ready to leave Spheris.
There have been several posts about the WI
one about MTs not getting paid.  That would be all I needed to know. 
Just because someone posts...sm

something positive about a company it doesn't mean they're in management.  Think about it this way - if people were really as unhappy as they claim on these boards with any company they're working for then they'd be out getting another job - because whining here isn't going to change a thing.  Remember that one person's opinion doesn't represent everyone that works at any place - regardless of the industry.   The only way people effectively complain is by talking to management along with ideas to solve whatever problems they're complaining about.  That's true anywhere - regardless of whether you work at the local grocery store, bank, this industry or any type of job. 


There are plenty of people at Transcend who have been on the new platform for several months now and they love it.  Instead of basiclly calling them liars or presuming they're in management why not get on the internal forum and ask them about their experiences in learning the new system.  The same would be true at any company. 


Do you believe everything in these posts?!
People can write ANYTHING on here. There are some really hateful MTs who just want to cause problems and make others miserable.

I wouldn't take anything on this board for gospel truth, period! It's fun reading and sometimes can make you think about something but I would NEVER use it as reference or as a guide for my thinking about MQ or any other company! Please don't be upset by posts by God-only-knows-who with who-knows truth to them!
see the other posts
where it is explained. Pt in a nutshell is anything under 39 scheduled hours. Now you have to decide, do i committ to 8, 16 or 24 hour weekschedule?? Floating around when you want to is no more. But it doesn't say what to do ifyou sign up for 16 and want to do 20. You have to ask them that. It does specify that OT is more than 40 hours a week.
oh. ok. thanx. someone else posts as you
on MQ board and posts as if they work for them too, blasting everyone. just curious. thanx.
I can't believe the posts below,
the poster is just venting.  A good stress relief.  Why so irritable with each other.
There are still posts
If you archive there are still posts about them on here so I am not sure about what you meant by that. I do think they discourage from posting on boards but if it is anonymous no way they would know who did it. They want you to take things up with them directly but getting communication from them sometimes is like pulling teeth.
This is regarding those posts below....
I don't see what all the fuss is about, I heard back from them today and I'm all set to go!  There was about a two period where I didn't hear from them either and it turned out that they were moving from one office to another.  I say just be patient and persistent.
Not JLG but there were some posts further down or
now maybe on second page regarding their platform. You might want to either scroll down or go over to the second page

I always look through this board's posts when I am looking for a position. I have mostly found it to be helpful. There are a few occasions when I have read posts by an angry poster to let others know about their experience and I think that is very, very important, but would like the anger and rant left out. I have noticed that more positives and defending comments appear to be from from recruiters and others in management than from MTs.
That much??!!?? LOL! See below posts.

Where did the QT posts go?
It is funny that a company that has nothing to hide is removing posts.  Why are these being removed?
I have been following your posts and...
i think you made a wise decision.  you can email if you want. 
where did those posts go
I came out to review the old posts on TT line count and they were all gone.   What happened to them?
see posts below

There have been several posts about them
the last month - all bad.   They are an Indian run company.  I don't remember the other details, but there was not one good comment about them. 
Why do all of the OSI posts
Other company posts are not removed. What, are people not allowed to know what OSI's record is? This is simply not fair to people in need of a job and fall for the OSi promise only to be taken by them. Please explain to everyone the reason for the post removal. Thank you.
and i e/m'd them already re the posts.

old posts
I know how to do a search, but my question is WHY???? Why do you feel it was pertinent to my question, which you did not answer. I was asking about an ongoing monthly charge and not a deposit.
There were posts saying
management was not liking the yahoo group too much although someone said management was posting.    Maybe it's locked. 
And I keep seeing posts about how they pay
so well - Ha.  Their accounts are horrible and at 7 cpl you'll starve or go crazy. 
Sorry, I'm still not sure which posts they are. sm
If none of those conditions were present, then perhaps it was just a server error.

If that is the case, there's not much we can do about it, so please do post them again.
Does anybody who posts on here ever have

a company they would just like to stay with for the long-term? This is a question which has been bugging me lately about these company and main board forums.


I personally worked for a hospital for many years, which downsized. Went through 2 years working for a service which fooled with my line count and benefits, and when I left there last year, I had a hard very year with services in one way or another not keeping promises.  Now I have finally found a position where I can say I plan to just stay put.  No it is not perfect. Yes, the work runs low.  But there has to come a time to put that resume to rest.


Is there anybody else out there who is deciding to do the same? I am not looking for pollyanna answers. Just another line of questioning on this board got me to thinking.


We are always complaining about how bad the pay is, how things are outsourced, how things are not the way they used to be in this business. I agree with all those things.  But I say I still have a job where as many are jobless in our country today.  I say I still have the ability to pay my bills. No we don't eat out anymore.  But with this job I don't pay for daycare, I can participate in school field trips, and I can take a nap now and then without any penalty to my career. I also don't worry about gas prices.


Post negative comments here if you wish.  Put in good ones. I just want to see if I am the only one on this board in the last 6 months at least who has finally decided to count blessings and keep my job and quit looking!

I have seen several posts that are quite
negative, however, I think it must be the account and/or manager you have. I work there and love my job once again. Good communication, 1 account, flexible.
