This person who wrote this post about TT being low on work and the supervisors playing favorites is always on this board slamming TT. TT is a wonderful company and I have worked for them for almost 4 years. They never play favorites. The MTs get the work as it flows to them through the computerized system. NOBODY is ever given jobs they do not want to do. As a matter of fact they tend to go out of their way to provide the work types a person is the most comfortable with. This person's thoughts are absolutely ridiculous and obviously she is one of the ones who do not want to work when the work is very heavy, such as this past weekend when one of the accounts had very high numbers. They had sent an email out asking for additional help because nobody was working. People got on and got the work out and cleaned it out fairly quick and then I head people were complaining because the work was low. The work is there = the work needs to get out. Some people just can't grasp that. TT seems to take pride in NOT playing favorites. After all, they don't know us from Adam. All they know is if we are good, dependable and accurate workers/MTs. I would suggest keeping an open mind and reapplying if the occasion arises. I love working for TT and I think you would to if you are willing to work what you commit to. They don't hound you. They only want you to do what you told them you would.

I agree. If she can't even get the hours stated plainly in BOLD RED print 7:00 AM to 12:00 AM, she is not good enough to work at TT. Pitiful. Go away. People like you who constantly badmouth TT are not needed OR wanted. You need help.

Peachy, your post is interesting, but my post now is irrelevent but
A few weeks ago I went to my clinic where they had recently implemented EHR or EMR, whichever you call it, and the doctor's back was to me the whole time he and I conversed because his nose was stuck in his laptop. To me, it felt a little more impersonal, but I understand he was doing what he had to do, but it seems like the bedside manner may go to the wayside if the doctors can't even look at you when they are asking you questions or you are speaking to him/her. I know this is relevant to your original post, but just an interesting fact that I had not anticipated. Anyone else experience this?
This is why I NEVER post my cpl. I'll post the range of
what the company pays, but NEVER what I make.  I know that I make more than probably 70% of the people there, because they know I produce a client ready report and that I can do anything they throw at me.   We don't have levels, but I guess if we did I'd be at the highest level.    Telling how much you make isn't so bad, but when people know what company you work for and then what you make that isn't a good combination.  The ONLY people I have ever discussed what I make with, are my husband and my MTSO owner.   Talking about your salary/pay is enough to get your fired in lots of companies.

One post was another "run" type of post and the
the recruiter. Once you are in with the company, the recruiter has nothing to do with you or your job. I want specifics about problems with THE JOB, not the recruiter.  Specifics such as no or late checks, line counts being messed up, no work, taking bennies away with no explanation. Things that matter, not the recruiter.

I suppose someone could twist the post I put on the company forum as tattling.  However, I dont see how.  My post simply asked what the posts on MT stars were about.  I really don't think I need to "alert" anyone to anything as millions of MTs come to this forum daily.  Also, as some disgruntled ex-Transcenders said, their words not mine, Larry scans these boards regularly himself.


Another thing, I at least tried to go to the source and find out some information about what the OP was saying about unfair treatment, unfair pay and such between newbies and long-termers at Transcend.  I wanted to know what the person was talking about since she wasnt going to explain herself.  At least, I took it where it belonged in the first place, the company.  Of course, there was never a reply as that person isn't able to post using her name. 


Thank you for your post trying to divert the attention on to me instead of the issue at hand.  If  you are leaving or have left, why are still bothered by what I say?


My reply to your reply to my reply, lol
Michelle,

All I meant was that we could BOTH could be construed as troublemakers, depends on how you look at it.

You could also look at it that you were confronting people there at the company and trying to get them to talk about these things where you think it belongs.

There's a history, here, Michelle, that you're not aware of about why people won't talk about certain things on that forum, and you're not sure if they've already TRIED talking to management about it and got nowhere, you assume too much.

You're waltzing in here like you have controlling interest (hahaha, no pun intended) in Transcend and think you know how things should go, ignoring that there might be a history of why people are afraid to talk.

Really, though, it's not your job to try force people to answer any of your questions, here or anywhere else.

I applaud your courage to confront people about their claims, but learn when to leave it alone, that there may be a history that you weren't a part of, you weren't there yet, and people just want to commune to share experience and get a reality check.

And I'm sorry, I don't believe your only motivation was to get people talking about these issues where you think they belong.

There are some that have never even heard of this board and your post directed them here and stirred up a flurry of activity and I think you knew it would. So I hate to tell you this, but you've alerted several people to the complaints by bringing them here.

As IF it's any of your business, I have not finished my notice with them, Michelle, and was toiling whether I had done the right thing initially. I'm not about to leave anyone high-and-dry.

Let's see where you are in about three years, Michelle, you're going to be something else to deal with...Transcend better keep you on their good side.
Thanks for the reply (sm)

Do you currently work for them?  If so, could you please share a little bit of information about them?  Do you know what their line rate is? 


Thanks for your help!

okay you got it...thanks!

REPLY TO Hi LEE. from KS

I AM NOT AFRAID TO POST MY REAL NAME!! 


To set the record straight... I posted on here because I spoke from my heart which is the TRUTH about what I think from MY perspective on the companies that I have worked for in the past, just to give someone else some insight....  NO ONE from Keystrokes put me up to this, Not Lee OR Becky... OR not management of any kind, form or shape....


I just wanted to express how I felt about working for Keystrokes as I have worked for MANY nationals out there and anyone can e-mail me OR phone me and I will send you my credentials/resume to let you know this is NOT Lee!!!  I think KEYSTROKES ROCKS!!

IN REPLY TO TT MT

Not only I have been transcribing since the ice ages but I have been with TT longer than 1 year.  I have worked on many platforms and have been paid hourly, salarly, by the minute, by the line, and by characters so I too am familiar with different aspects of different line counts and I have never had a problem with TT before but I do now and now is my concern.  I am not trying to badmouth TT because I have no problems with TT I just don't understand my line count and Debbie doesn't understand it either.  My only question has been and still is "is there someone out there who have worked with this platform and know how this line count "really" works?" and if that is a question you can answer for me or if there is some kind of formula you have that you can make me understand it since you seem to know that your counts are correct then I would really appreciate it because after all thats all I am asking for.

How pathetic can you get? You need your husband's permission to post? My life is great - you need to save your pity for your poor pathetic self....if your husband says it's okay, that is. Adios!
Now that reply is really

Really not worth a reply.  This "old hag" bets you're a 20-year-old stud, sitting there in your birthday suit, doing OB/GYN notes and getting your delights.  Sheesh, yourself.

I get the MTjobs newsletter every week usually on Friday and it gives a list of the companies that have posted for the week.  Net Dictations was one of the companies listed.

Yes, I did work for them for a short while. .

Actually, this is my first reply to any of this
and I was on a 15 minute break. I'm not unemployed and I'm not angry, I was just pointing out the obvious. You really shouldn't make assumtions.
reply
Yes, I do, and cannot figure out why. I like the account and the dictators are not that bad...but for some reason cannot get the line count I did on my last oncology account. The recruiter told at interview that they pay for spaces, so it couldn't be that...however, I don't think ExText is that great to work with...especially when pulling up normals...it takes too long to do that!!!!

Thank you for reply. nm

Why don't any of you reply to my ad?
Funny, I come here and read all of this talk about low pay scale, no work etc. I have had an ad posted on this board for about 2 months now and only received 3 or 4 replies. One person I even offered to listen to the dictations and get back to me. I never heard a word. I am willing to offer as much as .17 cents per line for my most difficult dictations who are mainly done by a doctor who dictates discharge summaries both psychiatric and medical for about 10 doctors on staff. The easiest work which is all psychiatric I would start at 11cents per 65 character line/no spaces. We are on electronic medical record system direct to hospital.  Regular medical for experience would start at 12 cents / up to as high as 14 if you are willing to be dedicated and work full time. Please reply if you are interested. I am a small independent contractor who has had the same account for 28 years/one general hospital and the other psychiatric in the Miami area.
Thanks for your reply.
I guess I will just wait to see if I get any work.

This company is in Mass. The other reply was correct about which company it is- FOCUS.
