Transcenders what region

Posted By: transcend mt on 2009-09-15
In Reply to: Not enough lines. - Me too.

You girls with no work, what regions do you work in?  I work on 2 different platforms, BeyondTxt being one and in both my regions work is plentiful.  I have 5 backup accounts in case things slow down but they haven't on my primary and they are always asking for help on my secondaries.  Not saying you aren't telling the truth, just wondering what region it is.  Do you do more than one worktype?  I know where are some girls in my region who only will do one worktype and won't try anything else.  That makes for a smaller paycheck, I'm thinking.  Just curious so don't flame me.

Depends on the region I think
Former co-workers of mine still work for SPi and I'm not hearing really bad stories yet. I find myself wondering about the variety of experiences I'm hearing, wondering if it's due to the regional managers or what.

If you don't have a lot to risk, it might be worth a shot, but I'd have a backup plan in case they make you crazy.
never heard of the Mountain Region....
maybe the Denver region? If that's it, I have no experience with them.
Pronounciation depends on what region
of the country you are in a lot of the time. I am from the south. Our doctors pronounce syncope as syn-co-pe - Up north they say syn-cope. Just 1 example.
Any info on MD-IT Dallas Region?

North region here and tons of work....nm

Any Warminster MTs have any thoughts on the email about getting switched to the NE region. Just
wonder what you think about the whole thing.
Yes, I am talking about the fact that our accounts are being transferred to the NE Region. Are you
not aware of that. It is happening on Monday morning.
Need opinions. I am part of the Northeast region of MQ or New York and we have been told that they

want to keep all the accounts so I assume that means all the NE Region within one hour of being out of work and out of work every night or caught up. Now I ask you where does this leave the MTs. I am speaking of acute care accounts with TAT of 12, 24 and 48 hours. Our offifce accounts are already complaining of poor quality work coming back to them because of just everyone being thrown into them to get the work done so I guess to accomplish this ridiculous obssessive 1 hour complete work situtation they will lose accounts and quite obviously MTs as running that close to complete in my option will run us continuously out of work into backups and of course then we are watched for how much of our work goes to QA etc. Does this seem like a no win situation. ASR has picked over all the accounts already also on DQS. I can see looking around very soon depending on how this situation plays out. Is this idea crazy or is it normal.


 


 


Anyone else finding their work drying up in the NE region. Are you sticking around or moving out. I
am not sure what to do yet.
Transcenders
How are things these days at Transcend?  (Need a second job)
re: Transcenders
apply, get hired, then you will know yourself.
For Transcenders everywhere...
I have a question... For those who work on Meditech, how long after you were hired did it take them to get you set up on Meditech? Because I'm not on their platform yet I've been doing all my work on Word which sucks because of course there are no medical expansions, just common everyday words. It's been 2-1/2 weeks now and I'm still not on Meditech, when I asked someone about it they said the hospital was still working on it. My question is how long did it take any of you to get set up? This no expansions thing is killing my line count and I can't afford to buy any exp. software right now.
? for Transcenders
Do you work VR or strictly transcription? If you work in VR, do you find it easy to make the same amount you once did when you were transcribing? Do you like working in VR? Thanks for answering!
Kudos to ex-Transcenders...

For standing up to these lousy companies who think they can s*** on us and feed us a line of crap, thinking we're too stupid not to buy into it! I am so disgusted and angry about what I've been reading - if Medquist pulled this on us I'd be outta there in a New York second. You guys are too good and there are too many other companies out there to put up with this kind of bull. Remember, we are in the driver's seat, we can be picky - demand far exceeds supply for professional MT's and you guys are sticking it to Transcend as should all new and old MT's. I also believe MTStars should ban any further job postings from Transcend - it is a total insult to us to allow them to continue to post, IMHO.


Thank you for standing up for yourselves and, indirectly, for all us MT's!


want to hear from transcenders who
have worked on VR and have been able to make at least what they always made, how much they have to edit to do this and how long it takes.  How has your life changed due to this as far as the amount of work it requires.  How much money can you bring home doing this realistically given the hours you work.  No flaming and honest input please.  Trying to figure out where I will stand when I do it.
Question to other Transcenders

when i go on editing, what will my pay rate be if I now make 8.5 cpl?  Also, that will be with NO incentive rate, right?  So, if I edit 1100 lines per day, what will I make per pay before taxes?  Also, how hard will it be to edit 1100 lines per day between 8 and 4 p.m.?  Is it possible?  Does anyone do it?


Thanks for the help, can't figure out all this mess!


Transcenders: What is the AIM platform?

All thoughts welcome.


Question for Transcenders
Do your supervisors work from home or from the Transcend office?
Transcenders - watch out.
We finally had enough work this weekend to keep busy, so now they will hire 100 more people to make sure this doesn't continue.  No one in their right mind would work there for a full time job.  It is fine to work part time to supplement another job, but don't depend on them for anything consistent.  
To Transcenders...I'm confused...sm
I am suppose to train this week to start work for Transcend.  I have been getting the daily emails about account status and it looks like there is work, but I keep reading where there is not enough work to go around, so I am confused.  Is there or is there not work?  I really need to know what is going on before I officially go through training.  and then it is too late.  Thanks.     
Any Transcenders using Escription

I really need some feedback from fellow Transcenders.  New to Escription and not making any money. Yes using shortcuts, etc. But need 3000 lines to make what I did before minimum.  Without compromising quality, don't see how this will work.  Have heard from these boards that it depends on  how many docs you have on account, etc.  Anyone from transcend, help!! Need some advice, tips, whatever, from one MT to another.


 


CURRENT TRANSCENDERS: Does everyone have
Insurance is critical for me.  I'm a good, steady producer and I'm not averse to having a few accounts at a time or working evenings, which is my preference anyway, so I hope I can maintain the $900 requirement.  All these posts about not qualifying for insurance or losing it because of production is making me very nervous.
Transcenders - we get your work, do you get ours?
I've heard in the conference calls both from MDI people and Transcend people that we get to cross-train to take Transcend work if we get low.  Has Transcend been telling their MTs that they get to take MDI work if they get low?  Curious if they've been saying it both ways.
Transcenders-Per line how much do you make?

Current Transcenders, how much do you make per line and how much experience do you have?


Is 9.5 cpl any good?


Perhaps the new motto for Webbers and Transcenders
should be: BOHICA - Bend over, here it comes again.
ATTN: Transcenders - Pls provide admin.
that Transcend is offshoring, and they will be dealt with accordingly.
Current post-merger transcenders

I would like to hear from current transcenders, who became part of Transcend through a merger (like MDI-FL, etc).


Did transcend maintain your current line rate, and if you don't mind, were you making more than 9 cpl?  If you were moved to VR, how did they calculate that rate?  Did they tell you that all MTs receive say 50% for VR or did they just tell you what your individual line rate would be for VR?


Just to clarify, I'm not asking you specifically how much you make, but rather if they reduced the rate your previous company was paying you and how they determine the VR rate.


Any happy Transcenders out there? I know a couple people have left, not sure why. nm

The Warminster office is now part of the NE Region. Unsure if Warminster will be
staying open. All the accounts have been switched to Amherst, NY. Hard to know who to deal with since the office manager has not been replaced so not the best.
How does MD-IT work...do you work for the region in which you live?
If I live in the MidWest Region do I work for the Midwest Office in Mpls/St. Paul? Seems like the benefits are great. Anyone currently work for MD-IT and could tell me a bit about the company! Appreciate it!
