How 'bout Ascend?
What about Ascend?  I'm looking for a QA position.  How is the pay and how are the benefits?  I work for MQ now -- help me!!
How 'bout what I sometimes call it -

ok...ok....how 'bout BOWL...golly sorry!!

how 'bout Transform--pay rate?
Anyone know?  Yep, I'm fishing around for another company.  Thank you!
Wow! How 'bout doing what I did and calling the office and asking?
In fact, there ARE new accounts coming on all the time. There is a large new one starting the 28th of this month, as a matter of fact. I really do not understand the one or two posters who continually come to this board to bash TT. IMHO they are the best of the best. I am sure they aren't for everyone, but why so nasty about this company. Did you have a bad experience? Did you get fired?

With regard to the press release quote, I have asked management about it and they have said they estimate ultimately between 15-20% of their staff will be on speech recognition. People, that leaves 80-85% of us who will not. Is there really a problem with that? Come on.
Ain't nuttin' good 'bout that program.
A cheap and horrible version of voice recognition program. Always broken, horrible platforms, and naturally the shirts don't care, they just make the MTs do more work to try to make it work and the pay keeps getting cut. This thing can't even keep the demographics updated, you have to do extra work on every document to make sure it is updated. What a piece of garbage!
How 'bout something to offset that bitter pill you swallowed?
?
"you bet it does"
For one thing honey, I am quite sure I have been an MT longer than most of the MTs on here, over 30 years? I have been around the block and know how these national companies work. And who said my job didn't work out? You don't know anything about me. I never mentioned my job. I have never and never will kiss butt in any position for any amount of money. Where is "holier than thou" attitude? I don't think any of the MTs that are posting have that attitude. They are simply tired of working and working and not being appreciated. You MUST BE one of those butt kissers that you refer to because if you look around at the posters, most of them are in agreement. The ones that are not in agreement are either butt kissers or QA because there are very few positive posts on here. And no one likes "butt kissers" either unless you are one of them, which I suspect you are. If you have to be a "butt kisser" to get to the top or get promoted, something is wrong. A person should get a job based on their qualifications not because they are "a yes" person and that seems to be the case at OSI.
It should be "you are" obviously not, not "you obviously not"

Get real, get a life.
The statement "you get paid

I beg to differ on "you people" There
may be only 1 or 2 complainers, maybe a few more, but most everyone is happy there, so don't put all of us in that group.
oops. Lots of typos. How about "you just cant WIN" maybe I need a nap@@@

If emails saying, "You guys make Transtech rock" pays your bills, let me know, because

I have figured out a way to pay my bills with such **old, wornout** words.


Management is rocking alright, because their paychecks are not affected at all with the NO WORK/LOW WORK situation that has been going on now for MONTHS and MONTHS.  That seems so unfair when without the MT's, the mgmt would have no paychecks!!!!!

They are not telling "you" when to work, they are stating when they need work done.
As an IC, you have the right to accept the contract or not.

Would you let an IC roofer work on the roof of your house on Sundays from 7 a.m. to noon, and on Monday night from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m., just because they are an IC?!

As an IC, you make an agreement as to when you are available to work, and if it matches what MDI (or whomever) needs, then you sign a contract. Otherwise, you find someplace else to work, and they find an IC who is willing to work the hours that they need covered.

Hope you're enjoying those slave wages you're earning.

So you guys feel you're getting paid what you're worth with VR?
I'm not trying to be snarky. I've never done VR, so I'm trying to understand.

You're happy with your paycheck with VR? Do you find the files to be as bad as the original post implied?
So you're telling me, basically, they're bad news?
They offered me 0.095/line and you know - it sounded too good to be true, but I SWEAR the recruiter told me they do not outsource. Oh brother... I just wish they'd be honest. I really don't know what to do.
Not the OP, but they're supposed to take out all the other taxes as you're an employee with th

No, they're not losing money....they're gaining!
If a company charges their clients by the line, I'm sure that line rate does not go down even though the MTs pay does.

ASR pays about 2/3 normal line rate to its MTs. Their ultimate goal is to have the MTs do twice as much work. Therefore, the client is getting their work faster, but paying their normal rate, while corporate gets that money and the MTs get the lower line rate.

Whether the newbies want to realize it or not, MTSOs have not increased MTs' salaries in the past 10 years. They still start out at the same pay as the last century!

This used to be a very lucrative profession. Nowadays, most MTs are considered to be paid at the poverty level. You don't believe me, look it up!
Hey, you're in luck then. They're hiring! (nm)

You're right on it! They're just trying to cause panic.

We're glad you're gone too.
The more people that quit, the more work left for me. I love it when people say they can't take doing MT anymore.

now we're getting somewhere....
Great qualities... absolutely. Can you be more specific. What type of communication do you think works? What doesn't? Concern is also important. But how far should it go. Certainly a company needs to be understanding if an MT has some problems, but remembering it is not the company's job to take care of someone, what about when the MT is not producing or working when scheduled? How long do you let it go on? What if the MT has chronic problems. What is the company's role here?

I can say my boss was ALWAYS flexible with my schedule, but I also made sure that I made up the time and the lines. I didn't abuse it.
You're better off
Someone else will appreciate your abilities.
You're welcome; here's what I can tell you ...
Spheris' family insurance is with United Healthcare and the premium for family coverage is about $180 per payperiod (2-weeks).

As far as PTO with Spheris, as a FT employee, you would earn 10 days a year for your first 5 years of service, then it goes up from there.

I hope that gives you a guideline to go by.
If you're looking for
and to be treated well, then you will like TT. They really are the best company I've ever worked, for and I've worked for more than a few. In this business of never meeting who you work for and not knowing what you're getting in to until it's too late, they are a breath of fresh air. They always pay on time, pay what they say they will pay, are very kind and honest. Good luck.
you're right...sm
when I was in school, for MA, not MT, my instructor said the ones taking the MT class were just waisting their time. I worked as an MA until I got pregnant, then worked as an MT after my son was born. I'm gonna ride it out as long as it's available. Then, hopefully I won't be too old to do something else!

I may be an old biddy but when I was 17 it wasn't a computer that was sitting in front of me on Friday night, loser.
Oh, if you're asking me -- I don't know. I wish I could
tell you, but I have no idea.

They're far from going under.

They're securing new accounts all the time because they're a good company with a fair, honest owner and a wonderful support staff and QA, etc.


I hear there are one or two bitter ex-employees out there who do nothing but trash the company, and it's totally unwarranted. 


so what you're saying is . . .
No brains required! LOL! Sounds good to me!
If you're sure...
I would contact my coordinator and ask. I think the system is set up only with and without ops, that's it. On the VA account I do, if any report is skipped, the MT is questioned. Melody sent out an email not too long ago about cherrypicking and I know management is now noting who is skipping what.
