 And personally, I have about had it. They want you to submit your schedule but you never get to work it due to lack of work on your accounts so you have to bounce around, log off, come back later, etc.. It's funny how there's no work during the week but come the weekend when no one wants to work, then you can find some work if you want to work every weekend ....no thanks

that sounds so familiar to me
I wrote the QA director regarding one incident and made my case. We, MTs, use our fingers, ears, and most importantly, our brains. Somehow, the QAs forget that we have brains and can analyze what we hear.
Sounds familiar..
Sounds like we work for the same company! I started a couple of months ago. It totally feels like I've come home to familiar people who treat MTs with respect. I actually like working again after a nightmare with the squid as you put it. I will never go back there - they couldn't pay me enough. I'm happy now and feel blessed to enjoy my job again.
My..This sounds so familiar...

Sounds familiar
About a year ago, I went through the same routine you're describing, except I even went a step further and took thier test. I then got an email saying that I passed the test and someone would be getting back to me to discuss what accounts I would be working on and the pay scales for said accounts. One week went by with no word and when someone finally answers my many emails, I get the same answer you did, about how the hiring process had ended and they thanked me for my interest in thier company. Like you, I said WHAT???
It sounds familiar to me
With the exception of the not logging the OT on your timesheet, it sounds like MQ.
I know everyone has asked you who you work for, so I will not. However, if it is the Q, you should do something. Even though the pay sucks because of VR, you have to be compensated for OT, and you have to log those hours.
Are you classified as an employee with the company you work for? Are you working FT with OT or PT with OT? I believe it is a violation of labor law not to get compensated for it. Some states, that is past 8 hours per day, some it is based on how many hours per week you work.
That sounds really fishy to me to be told not to put the OT on your timesheet. I just don't get that. You really need out and I wish I could help. I am working on getting a new position myself.
Some of these companies take FOREVER to get back to you. I put in a resume at one place in early January and just heard back from them last week. Keep your chin up. I must say, though, with 30 years experience, you should be making more than 8 cpl. I have 10 years and make a little more than you.
Sounds familiar....
Superior Globe actually pulled this same routine on me. I had just ordered a new computer when she called with the job offer. I told her I could start in 5 days, when the computer arrived. She said no problem. I sent her the specs for the computer which I had in transit and she cleared it with their tech department and said it would be no problem. I emailed her with updates on where the computer was and she responded great, couldn't wait for me to get started. I emailed her the day it arrived, very excited thinking I would be able to start on Monday (the computer arrived on a Friday)....
And, you got it, after all that hoopla, she NEVER emailed me back once I was ready to roll.
What the heck is wrong with these places???
Sounds eerily familiar to what just went down at MDI-MD
I hope this isn't the case but the scenario sounds scarily familiar.
I'll hope for the best for all of you...
Not familiar with them but 1000 sounds reasonable
NM
I would start looking, as it sounds like this
Sometimes they'll say it is a technical problem when in actuality is a money-flow problem. JMO. I would at least put my feelers out. You should not have to feel frustrated about your line count, as there are too many companies out there looking for some great MTs to help with some great accounts. Good luck to you! 
Not familiar with actual company but familiar with platform some use and it is super-slick!

Doesnt matter. Not much from one MT but X many

TTS-Why doesnt this come up in the archives?
Maybe it's my search engine but whenever I put in TTS, TTD or anything abbreviated, nothing comes up. Anyhow, does anyone have any information on this company, TTS?
TransHealth has some that start the next month after you start work. nm

OMGosh, TRX who doesnt pay is advertising.
Be forewarned. They DO NOT pay.
Just hope your TL doesnt have initials MA.
she was NASTY to me when i aked that question.
Because other co. doesnt pay for time, that makes

Yes, it came from hosp. And doesnt matter what

Doesnt just reading along with dictation on an
My brain would look like an overdone fried egg if I do do VR for more than one day. At least when we do straight-typing MT, we're creating something - a medical document. VR is just robot-work, and adds to the concept that that's all we are, as well. Nonhuman, dispensible robots.
Doesnt matter if YOU see it as conflict or not.

Doesnt it seem like there arent many companies hiring right now. nm

I bet Vandy doesnt know all their stuff is done overseas now.

It doesnt make sense to just keep job hopping
The reality is changing jobs doesn't necessarily create a better situation. There are new insurance deductibles to be met, learning curve and lost wages due to that, and then once you get settled in, the company may go a completely different direction. These companies are rapidly making changes as technology advances. Just because a company is currently paying 70% for VR doesn't mean that is what they will be doing tomorrow. Changing jobs is often a pain in the rear. I'm not jumping around anymore. I'm tired of it. It is stressful, and I have come to realize when you change jobs, you are just shifting problems around. My last job, I could not tolerate the crazy QA audits that demoralized and were a constant source of stress, mandatory OT, and just being nitpicked to death over senseless stuff. At least at TT I am not stressed in that way. I'll give them some time to figure things out. I don't think paying people half for VR is the answer, at least not in the system I work on (I have heard it is better on the other platform they use). I think they will come to realize this. They may have newbies lining up at the door to do VR for half pay, but that will bite them in the butt if that happens because the quality will drop. I have many, many years experience. I should be paid for my brain and paid well if they want their reports to reflect any kind of quality. I think TT will find balance eventually ... at least I am hoping. For now I am staying put.
Doesnt matter how good the platform is without work does it.

That doesnt sound too slow to me.. I would probably be slower, I am tired and old too.
 Wish it were just my fingers though.
Oh my gosh.. Do they realize they outsourced to someone who doesnt pay her employees, thus she cant
them apparently. How sad is that? I know when I worked for our local regional medical center here they had MQ do their outsourcing but the worst was when the hospital did not renew MQ's contract but they failed to tell their employees. They knew months in advance the date their contract ended but still didnt bothering telling the employees who kept trying to dial into the hospital's system only to find out their passwords didnt work anymore. I thought that was kind of bad on their part. I have never had any contact with MQ and did not know about them up to that point but that sounds pretty low to me and about par for these online companies. I am about burned out on the whole thing. So, is it possible that your local hospital is not renewing their contract with TTS?
You are fortunate. I hope you always have work and it stays that way and doesnt change.
:
Not yet but our office is being transferred there I think with out accounts. Doesnt sound good. Why
did you transfer from Foxboro. I wont stay there if they take me off my accounts. How is the quality with putting people on all these accounts. It is my understanding all the NE offices will be working out of Amherst fairly soon. What a fiasco that sounds like it will be. How long do you think this will last until all the good MTs move on if that office contines to do that.
Jesus doesnt post on this board. No point in asking Him any questions here.

Of course company doesnt feel compelled to share this info. Is there anyone there who would be
;P
There is no working out the bugs on bad sound. If it doesnt work you move on. My
accounts have problems but I put up with it, some people will, some wont.
Agree, lines are hard to get. I also think the sound quality doesnt help things. nm
:
Has anyone ever noticed how DQS picks up noise terribly in the background. Doesnt make my life any
easier trying to hear the dictator.
I suppose you have to write down the line count for every single document and it doesnt track them
for a total for the while day. That is what I was wondering.
sure sounds swell. Sounds like 2350 ln/day @ 4 cents/ln=$90./day
in order to figure how many line needs to be produced to make $500 per pay period. ie, how many lines an hour needed per 8 hour day --at your rate.
So say $450 a week would be $90 a day.
For example, if making 4 cents a line,need 2,250 lines a day, 281 an HOUR (to listen through and edit) to make this great wage of $90. a day FOR ALL THIS SAME SKILL, TO KEEP UPDATED WITH CHANGING MEDICAL COMMUNITY. nope Better at Jack-in-Box Pass it up.
anyone familiar with . . .
Electronic Medical Transcription Services? Found them on MTJobs and would like some insight. Thanks!
Familiar
Firday entertainment or just an owner / operator looking to get feedback - maybe if they are tired of annon bellyaching, they should post their company name and let us have it lol. Mnay of us do go to the people who bring us on as IC - but as an IC they state it is rheir company and they can do as they like - and sure they can - but without good MT they will not go anywhere but India. You owners must soon come to realize that we give your company it's good (or bad) name for the work WE do - you on the other hand hold checks, bounce checks, and give us grief for your own downfalls. Good luck to you all.
not familiar with D & L? who are they

I am not familiar with SH, so not much help there...
But I did use an Expander program that boosted my productivity b/4. That was great and it helped, but I needed to take the next step. With IT, it sort of thinks ahead for you. No memorizing the shortcuts...it works differently. If you type tpwa for The patient was admitted, IT automatically brings up several words and phrases that MIGHT possibly be used next, like: to the emergency room, to the hospital, in the past, and all you have to do is use 1 or 2 more Keystrokes to add whatever phrase is dictated. If you go to textware.com, you can get the lowdown. They also have a refund policy if it does not work for you. It took me a while to get used to it, but I love it now. I also use my expander in addition to IT. I have hospital, the, and, physician, etc. under my expander as well. Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but I hope this helps.
Good luck!
Anyone familiar with LTS, Inc? Thanks

Anybody familiar with SFT
There is a job posting on the job board by this company. Anybody know anything about this company?
Most of the ones I am familiar with you
either save up your sick time or vacation time (if they give any) or take Family Medical Leave Act with no pay.
You would not do at 4 cpl but very familiar?
I think $20+ per hour now times is pretty good salary plus with my full retirement money from SS and retirement check, I come out ok. You as others on here are doubting Thomases but those are the ones who can't cut the mustard doing it and probably never will be able to do for a good paycheck. Funny thing but the most I see for VR is 4, some has fallen to 3 and yet you are familiar,,,,, hmmmm would not do for 4. Oh, that makes a lot of sense, never do for 4 and very familiar. Do those 2 belong in the same sentence? If you really were familiar then you as a longterm MTer would not a newbie could not do.
I'm Familiar But It Was
There has been a lot of restructuring there and things are still in a state of complete disorganization. Upper management gives conflicting comments when asked questions or for clarification, turnover is high, pay for MTs has been cut repeatedly, QA requirements gets changed often, and the list goes on.......it was not a good experience and personally I'm not sure I would recommend them to anyone. If you have more questions, I'll be happy to answer them.
