YOU'RE SO SURE NEW ACCTS. COMING?..sm

Posted By: Southernbelle on 2009-06-14
In Reply to: Sad situation - looking too

First told in November - must flex for now.


Thus, multiple MTs on board re. quitting/leaving.  (Kids wanna eat before November, car repo man around the corner, mortgage company frothing at mouth, who also wants their $ - you know the drill) - all before November, how greedy of them all!


 HAPPY FRIDAY, SUGAR PIES!   (Must do/say something STAT  - before all MTs leave - but have to tell them something QUICK)


So now, Only have to wait 'till JULY for new work, sweetie-pie, babydoll!


Sure, right.

Yes, they definitely are - new accts coming on sm
and there was a referral bonus notice put out a few weeks ago.
At least 5 new accts coming on this month sm
according to my manager.
They did not overhire. New accts coming, and it's a holdiday week.(sm)
This crap gets so old.
I sure know where you're coming from...
And don't understand why you're getting so much flack here, I get what you're saying. It must be nice to be able to say take this job and shove it, and congratulations to those who can afford to be like that. You have to think straighter if the mortgage is due and you're the only one who will pay it. I love my folks also but man, you DO NOT not just up and quit a job unless you've got your bases covered, at least I don't. And I certainly do sympathize with the original poster here. My 2 cents.
I see where you're coming from...
I personally don't worry at all about whoever visits this site and views my posts.  I prefer not to e-mail here, as I don't want to reply back and forth with anyone and then possibly receive a bunch of spam and/or desperate requests for opinions, job leads, etc.  Regarding this site charging a fee, I wouldn't support that.  I don't see how that would make it any more secure, but that's just my opinion. 
I was told several new accts are coming on this month and also next month, so
I'm not worrying.
I know where you're coming from. I've done QA (sm)
and it's frustrating. I'd rather do transcription than QA.

But at any rate, you might want to check out Precyse or Axolotl.
You, MTSO, should just stop coming to OUR board if you're (NM)

They're not coming for shorter wait times.
There is no argument that we have, up to this point, some of the more advanced medical technology and research treatment available. However, that margin is closing. Also, just a point of fact, there are entire junkets set up specifically to take Americans to other countries for medical treatment and some insurance companies will pay to fly you to India, have surgery, put you up in a hotel/apartment for six weeks, and then fly you home because medical care here is so expensive.
Deb Garrison, I hope you're reading this board, because I'm coming at you with one hell of a l

I know that there are a lot of you out there who are owed money.  Some of you are owed LOTS of money and Deb just spends it on herself.  You'll likely NEVER get paid, but together you can all make sure she never runs an MTSO again.  But, what needs to happen is ALL MTs screwed out of their paychecks must come together for this to actually happen.  You all can email me at flagfootballcoach@gmail.com and we will pull together and bring down the hammer on this woman.  She has had too many different businesses, taken people for their hard earned money, and needs to be shut down for good. 


Better be glad you got the easier dictators soon, because you're time is coming for the ^^^REAL^^

dictators!  Be glad you got off now.  I wondered where my better dictators went the last week or so !!!!!  Lucky you !!!!!


I can always tell when the TT favorite MT's are off, because I get their dictators -- making it easier for me to get my line count. Yea !


TT is constantly hiring, so the above scenario is a norm. 


Guess we all can't be put on good accts. Gotta be there at the right time. Both of my accts.
s
MQ accts not on DQS
When our office was closed we were all transferred to Foxboro because none of our accts at that time were on the new platform, they were on MTS. Some of those accts since have gone up on the new platform and some are still on MTS--either way we still have NO WORK
No more accts on WP5.1...all are now
on the FN platform, which is Word based.
yes to all the above - at least on the accts I was on.

Not the OP, but do they have net accts now, or still
s
On 5 accts at DSG and still run out - nm
Been like this for months now. 
On 5 accts at DSG and still run out - sm
Been like this for months now. 
I saw this coming!!!

I saw this coming when they first started us on this new platform, and eventually, ALL the accounts will be editing.  These MTs really don't care because it is not happening to them right now!!  My opinion is that EVERYONE will eventually be editing and not typing and at the 40% lower rate per line.  When that happens, all of these Transcend cheerleaders will be just like me, sitting with their mouths hanging open in disbelief that it is happening to them.  I used to be one of those cheerleaders and now feel bad that the 2 people I referred to Transcend have now had to go get other jobs because of lack of work, timeouts, downtime, etc., etc.  Why would they want to pay 8 cents per line when they can pay for those same lines at 4.8 with editing.  OF COURSE, everyone possible will be editing, and it will not take long to do it either.  We had about a week's notice when we went to editing, which I felt was also inconsiderate, and they will do everyone else that way too--just watch and see what happens!!


Like I said before, TRANSCEND SUCKS!!


Ex-Transcend cheerleader!!!


Where do they keep coming up with
these numbers? I have been an MT for 15 years. I am 35, starting my MT career at 20! Do they know exactly how many American MTs there are, if so I would like that number. I have a hard time believing our average age comes in at 59!
I think that is coming up soon, at least by
the letter on the new MT/ME Rewards Plan.
!!!!
I know where you are coming from Glo
I applied at Spheris.  The lady called me, and then called back a few minutes later to find out why I left a certain position.  She was real shady sounding on the phone.  Then, she proceeds to tell me that they have no positions at the current time.  Really strange?  I usually just see the writing on the wall so to speak.  If they call me, I'll flat out refuse to work for them as they were very unprofessional in my book.  JMO!  And again, are still advertising like every day.  ????  I don't get it or maybe I do?!?! 
I just don't see where you are coming from....

EVERY email that I have sent, I have received a reply. 


And I think it is great that the QA person explains the blank because that is maybe why you had the blank in the first place - that maybe you did not understand the exact nature of the word and could not find it anywhere.  I would rather have more information versus not enough information. 


There are a lot of difficult dictators but if everyone did a few of them then the difficult dictator(s) could be shared and one person would not get bogged down with them.  That is what they have tried before - one person sent an email asking everyone to take ONE job of a particular dictator so it would not be all on one transcriptionist...Now come on, that is fair - ONE JOB for ONE BAD DICTATOR. I know it cannot be like that all of the time but that just shows that they do try.


I really have not had any of the problems you are talking about.  But I can only speak for what I have seen and from my own experience.


Their pay is ALWAYS correct and ALWAYS on-time.  And they do pay better than most places.  They have an A+ in my book!


I still believe the day is coming when MTs
nm
know where you both are coming from,
got laid off myself and I did resent them and MYSELF for all the times I never took off, short-changed my kids and events for them, stayed even off the clock a few times because no OT, while the same 3 people were always the ones not coming in for one reason for another. But you know what? I would probably do it again. To thine own self be true, is that how it goes? I have to live with myself and they are all on their own. Fortunately, I have just enough time to get to bed before I fall asleep without medication. Some people can't help it and have to take something, but that's a condition, not guilt, keeping them awake. This was not aimed at those people. Good luck to all of you.
Doing VR, know exactly where you are coming from
Others who talk against it, never tried it have no idea how it is as far as a piece of cake. I saw the other posting about when it gets so good to replace you BUT having worked on the same platform for several years now mine does not stay letter A perfect month after month, always a need for an MTer to come in and be there for reports that need to be cleaned up. I have said some platforms surely are better than others but if you have a bad 1, then you need to find a good platform. There is so much bad and forth on this subject, the ones hating, like I said, never done, bad platform or only see that the salary is dropping (for a short time as you and I know) but that is what is pushing these postings against. I was never totally against, like you up in age and glad that the hands/arms had not worn out as much as I worked. Glad you are liking.
Are all DRC accts on Cphones?? nm

They don't outsource VA accts because they can't (sm)
Contracts with the fedgov won't allow it. Funny how the gov't won't allow VA files to be sent overseas, but they don't bother putting a stop to the rest of ours going huh?
Webmedx does on certain accts, you have to ask. nm

I'm new to them but have only 2 accts and plenty of
nm
Proscipt new accts
Nope..just takes some getting used to. I take all the work I can get.
So is this all QA or just those on the dropped accts?
Just wondering!
re wav or internet accts
mine have been lower on work but not running out. I was told by my liasion that if there is no work you are not expected to keep your committment. I would suggest any of these things be directly discussed with your liasion so that there are no misunderstandings. Most any MT work will fluctuate some. I sure wouldn't turn away from MDI based on these concerns.
No Work Either and I am on one of the new accts
.
I have 4 accts and still run out. I am requesting another. nm.

MDI Lanier Accts
I, too, will be starting on a Lanier acct in January. Please keep us informed as to how you like it, as I am also curious, anxious to know what to expect. I worked on Lanier over 10 years ago, but can't remember what I liked or didn't like about it. Thanks for any info you are willing to provide once you get started and good luck to you!
Who's going to manage their accts sm
while they're gone?  I already have enough trouble having to press this and press that to get through their phone menu when I have a simple question.  I'm glad they felt they need to give their STMs a trip, that must be where our Christmas gift went.
Dont know about accts because only
work on 1, my own doing. I do both VR and straight, 8 for straight, 4 for VR. Most days the work is fine. Slump every once in awhile.
I have no good accts, all ESL. nm

That is too funny coming from you!
Darlin....I quit OSi a little over a month ago along with everyone else!
Would not surprise me in the least. Something is coming not sure what.
:
You keep coming back though right?
Obviously, you love it.
knew that was coming!
Three things are for sure - death, taxes, and that you'll start your vendetta the minute anyone mentions OSI!
Yes, and new accounts coming on...sm
constantly. 
Of course it is coming from your check, just like an
employee, but they are submitting the $$ to the IRS instead of you having to do quarterly filings.  
I was just coming to ask these same question.
I hope somebody here knows more info for us. 
You are coming in super-low SM
as far as salary....you should be getting MINIMUM $10,000 more a year and more like $15,000. 
We should have seen in coming in November
Remember when we partnered before and there was no work because another company did it all? And no notice, either.

I got the call, too but haven't gotten an e-mail yet about how to view this conference thing tomorrow.

One thing: We have some accounts that REQUIRE that the work by done by U.S. citizens and we be accountable under U.S. law/court system. How are they going to get around that? Some facilities absolutely refuse to off-shore. I myself refuse to go to a facility that off-shores and I ask who does the MT work before I make appointments. I don't know how an India-based company is going to be able to keep those accounts.



Hummm, nothing is coming up
In archives
I understand where she's coming from
and it's a big company too. I have put in a 2-week notice for many reasons. Maybe the OP used to work for my company and is just glad to be out of there.
Exactly. Why can't the masses see this coming? S/M
It's already started IMHO. Why the sudden panic to stimulate the economy. And that, my dear friends, is the most idiotic thing they've come up with yet. It's sort of trying to borrow oneself out of debt. Giving rebates with borrowed money!!! Totally absurd. You can bet payday will come.
