Oh brother

This is sad, when they cannot even spell things correctly in an ad.


It isn't even run my MTs. The CEO and his brother
are in it for the $$, but have never transcribed a day in their lives and don't have a clue about the business.  Unfortunately they hire management who also don't have a clue, despite having some knowledge/experience with MT. 
brother!
you forgot to put in there after your long novel, not to toot my own horn or anything. Please, spare us.
OH BROTHER

Someone has something NICE to say for a change about their company and they want to tell the rest of us about and you guys have to act like jerks!  Maybe she wanted to tell all about DR and how nice they are.  Maybe you guys can't handle the fact that your companies did give you a bonus?  I think some people are jealous and are handling it BADLY!  You guys only want to hear the bad, negative, gossip about a company.  Only then are you happy.  What a shame.


Merry Christmas OP and God Bless. Happy B-Day Jesus!


Oh brother....there is always one isn't there. sm
Grow up!
Oh Brother
Here we go again. Float checks. Well, aren't we just little Ms. Perfect. I haven't had a bounced check in 16 years, so don't need to redeem yourself to me. I have a backup account in case my TT DD is not in on time, so I DO have a backup plan. As for communication, TT communicates better than ANY company I have ever worked for in the past. Maybe the lack of communication is on YOUR end. Have you ever thought about picking up a phone and calling THEM if you have a question. WOW...what a concept.
Here's what my brother-in-law said

I said, wow you must do a lot of digging... he said no that's what the Mexicans are for.  So you tell me? 


We had 3 bids for our landscaping around our pool at our old house.  We picked the Mexican business and not only because they were cheaper, but they were smarter and they had better ideas.  It took them one day, where others said it would take a week.  So please, let's not go there.  I would recommend this landscaping business we used to anyone and everyone.  They were very professional unlike the pool installers who had to use my bathroom and asked me for soda, yes soda, not water, but they wanted soda!!!! 


oh brother
These lines at TT are defintely more difficult to accomplish. Promise.
Oh Brother
YOU must be one of the ones that just wants to work on one slow account. There's plenty of work and a huge amount now. Stop being so lazy and work and passing judgment and saying things that aren't true on a company that you are obviously still with. Or you can always go elsewhere. Yeah, that's the ticket, go somewhere else.

oh brother...
One of my jobs is working for a nephrology clinic for 3 docs. I am the only one who types for them. Sorry, I'm valuable to them. I also do acute care combined with outpatient and rad. I suck at operative reports but love rad. There are others whom I work with love OPs but can't do rad. They are valuable with OPs, I am valuable with rad. Therefore, we are ALL valuable. Heller??

I bet you believe in the Big Brother theory too!
So you are saying that the moderator and administrator of this board specifically search through the posts and delete any negative posts about Transcend?  They do this why?  Why do they not do this for every other company talked about on this board?  Please, add something substantial to the conversation!
do you do my sister and brother-in-law
really don't know what company it is - she says it is local - they are in Ottumwa.
Oh brother, how unprofessional are they?
Ask to speak to the QA supervisor and collect all the e-mails you are getting with conflicting ways to nit-pick.  Show her the e-mails and tell her you are confused.  You would be happy to do what they want, but you are being pulled in different directions.  If she is not accommodating, look for another job.  Who needs that grief?
Oh brother. No, many MT companies will NOT
be using it because it is a ripoff & a one-third reduction in pay, unless of course you raise the line rate 33% to make it level ground again, and in that case, what on earth would be the point?! Sounds like someone could possibly be laying the groundwork to pocket a 33% bigger profit margin though... A couple of MT companies I know of have tried this in the past & have since gone back to paying a regular 65-char line with spaces.
AMEN SISTER/BROTHER!!! nm

I agree.  Whoever is responsible for this crappy platform and at the cost (I believe) of $1 million screwed up royally!!! 


Well what is in Oldsmar, just the husband and brother?

The website and checks say the Palm Harbor address. 


my brother is right Trust is always earned.

Brother, read it first before putting out a sad face. nm

Dont know who died but Oh Brother has my vote.

Anyone that applied with Kathy Kirby hear anything yet? I am wondering how long it takes to hear a
response back
You take the Geritol and start typing, Missy. Big brother is watching! They
Can't put up with that kind of bull from my employer!
My husband and his brother have a business with a small office that has 12 people in it.
I do the books for them. The electric bill is over $4000 every month. The lease is $5200. The phones are $3200. The list goes on and on with overhead, not including payroll, totally over $20,000 per month.

I respect that the company I work for has overhead and am grateful that THEY have to deal with it, not me. Otherwise, I would have started on my own.
Oh, brother. You "believe" she handed the phone to someone. Jeeze. You're so credible!

I said MAY NOT hear, didn't say you wouldn't hear. There is
a difference, and many people have said they knew they didn't do well on the tests, but still feel like they should have heard from companies and haven't. 
Hear, hear! (Or is it 'here, here?') LOL

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!
Hear, hear! Read My Opinion's opinion.
Regarding Wondering's question, the company I work for is investing strongly in upgrading its MTs' and editors' skill levels (exactly what this says about need for us for ten years down the road I can't say). This morning I found an e-mail saying they would pay every one of us to attend an on-line class on making Expander macros to increase our productivity. Amazingly, I have to assume many employees were choosing not to attend the unpaid ones they had been offering...
I hear you.

And it ticks me off that they refer to these people as "medical editors."  If these people are medical editors, where are DC notes sent now, to GOD?


Just seems to me they're trying to reel people in by pumping up their egos, offering them jobs as "medical editors," when in fact they probably wouldn't qualify for job as a legitimate medical Editor with any other company.


Lofty titles don't mean much if your wallet is empty.


 


Would like to hear from other ST L MTs...

Hi, would love to network with St Louis MTs... I'm about an hour south... would love to work directly for the hospital, tired of services!!!


suz


I hear you there.
That's also the ONLY reason I stuck with them. I have kids at home, at college and a husband who travels and makes a hell of a lot more than I do. Guess whose schedule is always getting stepped on through no fault of my own....that's right mine. And once I go live on DEP where they can track my every move I don't want to spend every day avoiding my phone. And I NEVER received any questionaire from them asking what my needs were. And I answered the phone and it was just to tell me the packet was in the mail.e
From what I hear about OSi
it is the same as always, amazingly unqualified people in charge but if you don't mind that and the fact they send jobs overseas while some MTs sit here twiddling their thumbs go for it.
Because you will never hear the same
If you can't learn their voices and genuflections, how can you build up speed?
Since when? From what I hear,
...
I hear you!
I can't seem to make any money on this platform and I've been here almost 1 year! The dictators are horrible -99% ESL.
Where did you hear about them? nm
nm
you might not want to hear this, but

Let me first say that I believe that there is a reason for people phrasing things a certain way and not getting into the specifics...... probably because it would take entirely too long to do!!! For instance, when I first read the part about does Spheris offer a computer, before I even read the response, the FIRST THING that entered my mind was Yep, and heartache too! only to open up the thread and see it there!! How funny!!


I would be glad to tell you at least a couple of reasons why I encountered heartache. And please, I know that there are some that are reading this that work for the company and if you have not had the experience I had, please do not insult me nor my intelligence by making idiotic comments that have nothing to do with my individual experience, which you most certainly would not know about unless you HAPPEN TO BE me!


Anyhow, I worked for Spheris for aprx three weeks. During that time, I was informed, only after I had accepted the job, mind you, that if my QA was not 98% in ( I believe) five days, that I would be fired. Now, mind you, I am an experienced transcriptionist, but when you have had several jobs that teach and do things differently, it is kind of hard to try to reprogram your mind in five days! By the fourth day I was stressed out and making more mistakes than I ordinarily would have. However, I did make the 98%. Well, after that, I was finding that I was ALWAYS short of work and on Mondays, I was lucky if I got one note at all. Yes, paycheck was horrible. Well, the last straw for me was when they magically decided to trim down the pay for everyone on that specific account. Not sure if it was across the whole company board or not. I finally had had enough harrassment, lies, and disappointment, and it only took me three weeks to get there!


Anyhow, I say that to say this. All of us are  grown. We know what you need and what we don't, what we can handle, and what we can't. Ultimately, we have to make the decision and live with it. I wish all who happen to work there all the best, and hopefully things are different now.


Be Blessed!!!


I hear you...and ...
it is not just in our field it's our clothes, our cars, our applicances, just about everything.  Look at the tag on a garmet or picture frame, or stuffed animal you have.  What does it say?....this is horrific for the future of this country!!
I hear ya.
I worked for them last year on radiology account. Pay is very slow....never know when you will get a check. I had to call twice for W2 this year. Quit last christmas because check should have received prior to Thanksgiving was mailed after Thanksgiving, no phone call, no email, nothing just mail checks out late. Require high degree of accuracy from MTs, but office people, that is another matter.
Sorry to hear about that.
How long have you had the computer?  Is there any way you can bring it back and at least get part of your money back?  Wow.  Sorry to hear about what happened.
Where did you hear about this?
I work for Amphion and haven't heard anything about it???? Are they telling you this or did you find out some other way? Just curious as to what the plans are. I've only been there 1-1/2 months but have been pretty happy and satisfied so far.....
I hear ya! I am right here with you. sm
Melissa is my manager too. They could have let us know a long time ago. They knew... what about the 4-6 months they were 'investigating options'... they didn't have the balls to tell us then that we should start looking? Such crap! I'll work with you to do anything we can to get them off the map. We should email the clients!!
I hear ya! -
Been at TL, then MQ for 15 years. That makes it tough. But with the changes, this is definitely not going to work out long term. Good luck to you!
Any one hear of CMT?

Anyone ever hear of CMT.  I think they are in 813 area code somewhere.  Thanks.


Hear anything yet?
I was considering applying for part time work as well.  Have you heard anything yet?
How do you hear anything there? sm
I've been there nearly a year and hear absolutely nothing from anyone! No communication whatsoever. At first it was strange as I came from a company who emailed us multiple times daily, switching to nothing. Now I'm kind of used to it I guess. I do wonder how anyone knows anything there as there are no emails!??
Hear hear! (sm)

Actually would like to hear from

on how it is to work for Precyse at this time.  Thanks!


You are better off when you hear
are receiving the pay on time.  That's all that really matters.  If you are hearing negatives then you need more training.  If all is quiet then usually all is well.  As for the coffee mug... well... I'm at a loss for words.   I don't need a coffee mug to fill me.  More money would be great but there's always someone out there who will work for cheaper in any industry not just this one.  Maybe you shoud go into journalism.  However, when you write a book, usually you'll need an Editor and from what I understand they are brash as well.  Find new clients/jobs because dwelling and writing stories like this will not gain you the attention you obviously require.  JMO.  Good luck in your endeavors. 
sorry to hear that

good luck to you guys.
