You need to give a reason. Not every company

is a good match for every MT and someone may have had a personality conflict or some such thing so then they say it is a bad company. You need to list facts like they don't pay on time, their line counts are off, sound quality is terrible, etc.

Did they give you a reason why?

I wouldn't give that as my reason for
I wouldn't give that as my reason for asking for a raise. It probably wouldn't get you one.
Did they give you a reason for having to take a psych test? nm

This attitude is the reason that many companies give nothing at all. sm
I worked for a company that gave a small bonus about 5 years ago. So many MTs complained about the size that the owner decided to never do anything again. I know of a few other owners that feel the same way.
I only have 10 employees, but I cannot afford a large bonus, so I am not giving anything at all. Believe it or not, most MTSOs do not make millions, live in mansions and eat bon-bons while their employees do all the work. There are times that my employees make more than I do. Not whining. Just stating facts.
MTSO won't pay or give me reason for nonpayment
I am going to small claims court tomorrow to file a suit against MTSO that hasn't paid me in four months. No idea why they haven't paid. Won't return phone calls or emails. Only worked there a week, and I think she somehow thinks she is justified in not paying me.
Feel bad for anyone that doesn't get paid. There is no excuse to not pay people for work they have done.
I would just give my 2-week notice, state the reason you are leaving.
Sorry to hear your troubles.
Another reason is if you have friend at new company to

Seems more of a reason NOT to apply at this particular company.... nm

or maybe it's really a good company. Give me a break. If a company isn't talked about sm
on here, good or bad, it's probably too small to matter and does not offer benefits or anything at all.
But if COMPANY is reason cant meet production,

Which is the reason my company lost a major account.
The quality of the work was so poor they didn't renew the contract.
One triple dipper got fired from 1 company, but a different reason
They are too busy conniving how to screw the MT's out of every penny they can.
the reason for the discrepancy has been explained by the owner of the company already - nm

Can you give the name of the company - sm
I am in the process of looking for a new job and really don't want to choose one that doesn't pay on time!
TIA!
And, why don't they give their company name?
They should be up front about it. It would save everyone a lot of time.
Can you give us the first letter of the company's name.
nm
Can you give me any specifics on this company?
Could you give me any specifics on this company? I would like to know more. Thanks.
Does any company give raises?
nm
could you give initials of company? I have been done like this before and
might be the same company. I FINALLY got paid
yes, MTStars says it is okay to give company name.
nm
you can, and should, give the company name on this board.
nm
again, it's okay and encouraged to give company name
nm
again, per moderator okay to give company name.

For IC status, that's an insult. Can you give us a company name?

I have been at Keystrokes a while and have to give kudos to what I think is the best company out the
not always great in the beginning and I left and came back a few years ago. I am so glad that I did. The changes have been wonderful. I think it is refreshing to see a company actually improve over time with growth instead of going downhill.
I agree with you!
Clever way to give-up a company name that doesn't
Company start with an "E"..give us a hint. If they are doing it to someone else too, then I&#
Throwing in the towel is one way of putting it. I've done this routine too many times.
Can you give me a hint as to which company? The same thing happens to me too and I am an IC. nm

it's okay to give company names, per moderator.

Maybe the company you work for would give you an advance? sm
Depending upon where you work, how long you have been there, size of the company, etc., that might be a consideration. Also, maybe other temporary work, like Kelly Girls (if they even have that anymore). I know we used to have temps in our office that were paid every week.
The pawn shop idea might be a good one. I think if you don't have the money in 30 days, you can just pay the interest or whatever. You wouldn't lose the instruments. If you are willing to part with someone, ebay and Craigslist can provide some quick cash. Good luck to you. I am my sole support, and I have been in tight situations before and know how scary that can be. My heart goes out to you. 
Work not taken-Give company a chance
I have been with Transcend for almost 6 years and while they are not a perfect company they are better than most. There have been mergers in the past-I actually came from the other MDI (which was a much more laid back company). As far as I've seen with past mergers you get to keep your work. They don't take you off it and give it to someone else. That makes no sense to have to train new MTs for your accts and you on something else. I know you are unhappy that you have to make a change but give Transcend a chance. They are a good company. Is it a good fit for everyone? No, but you won't know until you give it a chance with an open mind. And before the bashers get on and say I am management, I am not, just another in the trenches MT who has worked for other services in the past. As far as outsourcing, I know it is done but as far as I can tell it is not a lot. I work on 2 different platforms and both have plenty of work and have had for quite a while now.
I mean, any info you can give me about this company would be greatly appreciated.
nm
Can you give us the name of the company and if it's clinic or acute care? Thx. nm
s
Can you give the initials of this company to save others some grief? nm

Then you need to be professional, give a company website than can be checked out sm
and let people apply there. Why in the world would you expect people to get their personal info to you, if you are less than professional yourself. I certainly would not, especially after your post here.
How is turning you down for a position rude? Are they, or any other company, obligated to give you
No. As a recruiter, I am seeing this more and more. Maybe the hours you were available did not match what they needed. Maybe your equipment or speciality or background did not match. How is it rude not to hire someone? There would be no need for interviews if everyone was just hired because they applied. I did not understand most of this until I started recruiting. The company I work for is spoken well of on this board and then bashed at other times. I see a lot of people that think they are entitled to a position or a shift or a certain account. It is difficult to be on this side.
We give up on your naysayers. Great company, but if you choose to believe it's fishy, your loss.

MedWrite Transcription... anyone work/worked for this company can give me any info?
Is it safe to ask a company after one year for a raise? Do companies give raises?
 Curious
You can be fired for any reason or no reason at all.
No one HAS to employ you. No one MUST keep you in employment.
As an IC, your unemployment isn't coming from the account of your contracts! It comes from YOUR tax payments!
"warned" by someone who won't give facts or sign her name. Give me a break! nm

They used to give out $25 Amex cheques -- give them time. :-) nm
I get what you are all saying about them not having to give give you work, but...
I guess I just figure that as an IC, I am basically my own business and it is my responsibility to make sure that the work is done when it should be. I just think that if the standard of the company is 24 hour TAT then that is what I am agreeing to do when they hire me. There are advantages for both of us to the IC senerio, they do not have to pay benefits, or take care of collecting and reporting the taxes, and I have to adhear to the 24 hour TAT (or what every thier standards are) but can do that during hours that are convenient to me. Of course it is better for the company if they know exactly when I am going to be sitting at my desk and typing that is why they have the option of hiring employees. Just my opinion and wanting things to be like they used to be.. I guess I have to get out of my time warp or look a little harder for a company who really knows what IC status means.
Maybe there's a reason for that.
I find it hard to believe that it's just a coincidence that so many people are having so many problems with so many different companies for it to be just the fault of the ones you call complainers. A lot of people really do something about, but it's still a big upheaval in their lives and I don't hold it against them just for looking for someone to share it with.
The reason they are doing this
like the other person said is to be more competitive with the market but what they are actually doing is lining the pockets of the big shots they just hired with the savings they don't have to pay their employees. Goodbye!
The reason I'm asking sm
I just wondered what it would take to make that kind of money per line.
I have close to 20 years experience in acute care and I was not offered even close to that, with only a half cent raise after the 2 week period, which still does not get me to what you are getting. How many years have you been with them?
Reason for U
Here is a reason, the owner of Omniscribe goes back on her word. She will tell you one thing, then do another when the mood suites her with no thought to you as an MT whatsoever. Is that a good reason for ya? BTW do u work for her? Why do you need a reason when someone tells you to beware of a company? Isn't that reason enough?
Exactly!! And that is the reason
work is being offshored!! People crazy enough to accept something ridiculous as 4 cpl!!
Some MTs will try to think of any reason why they just are
not hired. They totally overlook the actual problem, that being themselves! I guess they need an excuse so why not make up something called a black list? That's as good a reason as any to deny that you just lack the qualifications of some companies or just are not a good MT.
Any reason...
Yes, I believe you're right there. It is always easier to blame the other guy than to be accountable for our own shortcomings. The reality is that there ARE some good companies out there, not all are bad, and yet it seems they all take the heat with things like this. I find that unfortunate and would hope that any recruiter of those good companies would weed those folks out in the interview process.
