So Glad To See The Nice Folks
How refreshing to read a string of replies to this post that are kind, caring, and concerned. THIS is what I was looking for when I came to this board!!! Thanks!! 
Now, now. Glad you're having a nice experience but no need to
By the way, I worked at Precyse a year ago and had a terrible time getting specific questions answered. Maybe it's a problem with individual supervisors. It's unfair to discount others' experiences.
I still think the company has good potential.
Sorry! Just remembered someone posted below..

I thought I remembered something like that, but now I cannot find it. Thanks though. nm

It's been years since I remembered swiping
that right hand at empty air. When did it finally stop? So funny! I bet you didn't keep reaching again and again for the Liquid Paper, though. :)
Putting the mouse on the left sounds like a great idea. Pain in the patootie, but you really will like it once you get that muscle memory set.
My Side, there seem to be a fair number of people who were already as fast as capacity can handle without computer assistance. It makes me think of an old friend I haven't talked with in over a decade now. She could cruise along on a Selectric at over 130 wmp, and I can only imagine what she has to say about having excellence rewarded with a pay cut.
Co. with employee appreciation??
Anyone know of companies that actually appreciate their employees?....telling them they do a good job?.....offering raises?.....employee incentives?
Appreciation and Respect
and money
...or at least an email in appreciation. That costs nothing. (NM)

I hear ya. This just keeps getting more and more depressing. So, now, where is the appreciation for
the loyal U.S. MTs. No bonuses, no incentives (only if you work on the holidays plus the day before and after NOT WORTH IT), no acknowledgment, and most importantly, we get to fight for work. I think these bigger companies need to figure how why the turnover is so high. No one is valued anymore or shown any appreciation whatsoever. Oh wait, I guess we are noticed on those days that they sent out the we need you to work more, we need everyone on that account. Yes, let me drop everything and rush to help YOU out because I'm such a valued employee. Bah Humbug!!!
I agree with the above. You receive no appreciation. I would stay where you are. nm

Very nice owner, nice work, nice place - sm
the leave you alone. I left because they do not budge from their pay which was kind of mediocre. I would go back if I had to because they were extremely nice.
I am so glad, so very glad that finally I have reached
the age that if we are low on work, I just take off. No problem at all and love the extra day or so off. I now have worked since the 70s and finally made to retirement age, get SS plus other retirement money coming in and thank the good Lord do not have to worry about if there is work or not. BTW, when I worked inhouse never ran out of work ever, only when transferring out to company do they run out of work. If I had to raise a family now I would most certainly cross train on other accts at my place but only have 1 that I work on, by choice.
Very nice people, nice place to work. nm
nm
Yes, nice QA (and nice people in general), but very little work right now. nm
nm
Yes! Nice lady, nice company. nm
xx
I second that. Amphion is nice, nice, nice
That is what I say too, don't tell me, show me. nm
No, this just goes to show yet another MT
Pay attention. The OP said she was promised a call on Monday and it is now Wednesday. I don't see where your comments are even close to what the OP is trying to put forth.
Another post a while back stated they received a canned text e-mail. How unprofessional is that? If they want to advertise, then they should respond to all applicants no matter what. Let's be grownups now! 
Sad, isn't it. Just goes to show that
ALL companies are out to pocket profit from MTs anymore. No longer is the watching out for their employees (and I'm talking about all companies, manufacturing, etc., not just TT), but GREED/PROFIT is the name of the game.
Mixing VR with standard transcribing is a process that really cuts the lines, at least in my case. I'm not as flexible as I once was. Different set of rules for straight and VR specifications.
It just goes to show ya...
These people have absolutely no idea what we do, the experience and technique required to do medical documentation/transcription and the superhuman auditory prowess required to translate some of these dictators. Oh we type, so we must be clerical. We I can tell you right now that secretaries make at least $15-20.00/hr now days.
$10.00/hr, please. What an insult. If this is the case to stay in business, I suggest everyone up the food chain cut their salaries by 50%.
You know if we were organized and every MT around the U.S. checked out for 24 hours, think of the havoc! They are soooo lucky that we are not, overseas outsourcing notwithstanding.
P.
Thanks! I'm glad to hear that, I didn't think anyone used it anymore! I'm glad to hear so
I'll definitely check them out!
250?!! Never heard of that. Most ads show 120-150 lph. nm

Show me the money
All their information is available on their website, www.PhoenixMedCom.com, including their cpl. For me, I'm making more money than I did at the large nationals without all the stress!
Show me the money
it's there for the taking. Help yourself.
You also know if you show up for 8 hours
you get the same pay you were promised. We work Piece Work, backtground noise, ESL, you never know when you step on the pedal what you are going to get. Some people thrive on that, I find I cant' trust it. Some days bat out 1500 lines NO PROBLEM, the next day everything goes wrong and you get 950. There are so many variables in this business, don't compare it to a 9-5 job where you walk in, walk out. I don't mind evolution but I don't trust it right now. And I think most of the people voicing concerns are certainly professional, if not they wouldn't have STUCK WITH IT so long. And we have all been BURNT before. And most places you work UP THE LADDER, you do holidays for years and then move up. I haven't had a raise in this place for 3+ years, not because I am UNPROFESSIONAL (99% QC) but because every year they move me to a new office as they keeping EVOLVING. You get my point????
show me the humor! Show me the humor!
well, blow me down!
Because, you show up to work, sm
put aside that time to do so (as a professional would), and should have the work available. If not, then get paid for your troubles. It's like being on a retainer, you pay to have the person available. Too bad it does not work this way for MTs. Companies have the best of everything. It is the IC who gets ripped off.
Show me the money!!
I am new to medical transcription, and was wondering how long it will take until I can support myself in this profession. The company I am working for pays $0.08 for transcribing, and $0.04 for editing. 99% of the work I do is editing computer generated reports. So I am earning an embarrassing $10.00 per day. This company works with India, so don't know if that plays a part in it or not. Thanks Here it is Monday morning, and they don't have any work for me today.
At least you show you do have a better grasp of the
and I appreciate your sharing that insight. Even on this site less than a year ago, the head of one of the largest offshoring MTSOs posted a message directly to me to begin dialog on this board. The problem was that I never designated myself as the spokesperson for anyone else here on this board and was beaten about the ears rather soundly for being what others considered disrespectful towards him. No one *got* what it was I was saying. He is a board member of AHIMA. He is a millionaire. You would have thought he was god in person the way others thought we should treat him with a higher degree of respect. I don't respect someone advocating the investment of developing land, facilities, training, and employment of more than 5000 Indians and offering some of the lowest pay in the industry in these United States.
There is a small to midsize national that has a nonorganization policy in its employee handbook. That is just one that I know of, and I can predict that will begin to become the norm now that AHIMA and AAMT have gotten federal monies beginning to flow for education and internships for MTs...with the largest interest of these monies going to same said millionaires. They don't want to hear how some of need food stamps, Medicaid and housing subsidies to get by on what we make in today's US-MT-less-than-friendly environment. They blame us, not what they have done. What is even more sad is that we have allowed it to happen by turning blind eyes.
If we want to make an impact and have a voice, each and every US MT needs to be selective about the MTSOs we choice to work for, what our wage should be, the benefits we want and decline to accept what is not acceptable. Unfortunately because we are so splintered, we cannot collectively form a picket line and hold posters and chant. Heck, we can't even do that in the online environment as long as there are MTs who think the millionaires deserve to be treated with respect they have NOT earned - IMHO.
I stand behind what I say, but there is only so much I can do personally. It is up to each US MT and the new MTs coming into this business don't support this philosophy because they don't know what we do – we have to teach those who are willing to listen.

Show me the MONEY ! nm

Just saw a show (can't remember which)
The show was about foreign people with false identities working under Americans' names and social security #s.
Goes to show you they do watch
the posts on here.
No Way! We show horses too
There's no way I would give it up for a job. As you know, it's an addiction. I am willing miss an event now and then, and try to work my schedule around the horse events, but I would not give it up entirely. And to give up your dogs too? I think you'd be miserable.
I think it would be a great way to show MTs
they're on our side. But, I think they get paid for those ads, so they probably get the same amount of $$ regardless of whether the advertiser is offering 6 cpl or 10 cpl. STILL, I agree that it would be nice if they could hit all those 'weeds' on the job board with a little 'Round-Up' once in a while.......
I recently saw a show on TV about Wal-Mart, sm
It was one of those news shows, maybe 20/20. Whatever. It talked about Rubbermaid going down the tubes because of W-M's demands on it, how generations of families worked at one particular factory which essentially supported the town. That was closed, equipment was auctioned off. I'll never forget the expressions on the faces of the men who were watching this happening. It was tragic.
Sorry, this is badly worded, but I need to get back to work.
If you only complaint is QA telling you something different, then show them !!
However, you said the account was too difficult for you. So, I assumed you could not handle it. If the QA dept is incorrect, point it out to them and show them where they are giving you wrong info. Simple as that, if that is really all it is.
What would the control I show you that you can't see on website? (sm)
And do all companies who use Ex-Text block this function? What does it accomplish?
Oops - didn't think my name would show up...
I'm new to these posts and wasn't sure which entry would show up where. Are there instructions on this website about how to sign up?
Don't. A search will show the many reasons why. nm

Sorry, the posts on this board show NOTHING about sm
overall happiness within the company. That would be validated by number of MTs leaving - which isn't a lot, as far as I can see. Just because a few people are peevish about a few issues does not mean that it is a bad company. Maybe it is you that is a bad fit, eh?
It doesn't show India's
pursuit of excellence, it only shows how bad some companies want to save a buck.
They love to show their incompetency!
If this keeps up, I just might have to change my phone number! I hate to do do that as this has been my phone number for about 7 years, and the phone company charges you like $35 to change it, but it's worth my sanity! The person who called me, after I told them that I no longer worked there, said,But your still on the schedule... I have never seen such stupidity in my life!
The IP addy doesn't show up here. Some
boards show IP addy, but this one doesn't so no way to track. If you provide any identifying info then they might figure out who is posting.
You contiue to show how stupid you really are!
You start the post by passing judgment on previous posts, assuming of course they are all from ONE hateful person, and you decry the tone in which YOU perceive the emails to possess. Clearly, you feel that you are more intelligent, more sophisticated, happier person and who believes that YOU generally contribute more to society in a more POSITIVE way. Then, in closing, your true grey colors show-with schoolyard insults and name-calling. How trite! Well, old bag, TWO can play that game, So, Miss Happy Pants, when when the last time you left YOUR trailer park? Ooops, that was meant with the kindest of intentions, you myopic terd!
hahah THEY DONT SHOW UP
ur right she did the work. But basically there is nothing u can do about it until the MTSO grows a conscience and decides to pay.
I loved that show (my age shows, too!)
Actually, I see the (self-proclaimed, of course) 'upper crust' more as the MAN on the Green Acres show. In the beginning, he's the one who APPEARED smarter, and who decided to get himself farm. (Not unlike some CEOs who decided to 'buy themselves an MT company...). His boa-wearing wife appeared to be the most unlikely candidate for success on the farm. But in the end, she was happy and successful because she was FLEXIBLE and learned the ways of that offbeat community and funky house (remember how careful she had to be when plugging in household appliances? Some were a '2', some were a '3', etc., and too big a number blew the electrical fuse. The hubby just never caught on.) The husband was never able to cut it, or truly be happy, because he was too RIGID. He expected things to work the way they did in New York, even though this was Hooterville, with its own unique sets of problems and ways of doing things. He was always annoyed and ranting, and his wife happily went about living with their pet pig and the other animals, the quirky house and the quirky town, because she ADAPTED, and she could COMMUNICATE without yelling at people.
I think the top brass at all MTSO companies should rent all the old Green Acres shows they can, and show them at their big fancy meetings. They could learn a lot from Hooterville's favorite, foofy, boa-wearing farmer.
Most recent posts show bad as of late. nm

verbal tests also show what you do when you aren't sure
I had 2 sound alikes with different meaning out of all the questions asked. On those 2, I nailed the first meaning but wasn't sure of the second because I was nervous. They (meaning any company who does verbal tests) expect a certain amount of that in a verbal exam. I admitted that off hand, the answer didn't come to my head and I would have to look it up to be certain. I probably would not have gotten a call back if I had just guessed and gotten it wrong or didn't say I would like it up because then they would think I would throw in words into a document that didn't fit and it would show I didn't care. They want to know what you aren't sure of, too, and if you care to find out the answers.
Weanswered this a few weeks ago. Does a search show it? nm

You have to show a picture proving you have a door?? sm
Man, that is really getting picky. I would fail that requirement, I'm sure a lot of us would! Sounds like they are TRYING to make it impossible for you to continue with them.
A search here will show you the many negative postings about DSG. nm
