You say "No one would have told you to purchase that." sm.
Did it ever occur to you that maybe the person at Keystrokes DID tell her that and that they DID make a mistake.
NO, they dont. Everyone I have told could care less.
someone in India knows they have a cold.

purchase
Good for you!!! Any time any of my appointments come up, I will check first, and then cancel as well and tell them why I am canceling. GOOD JOB!!
Don't purchase anything.

Not sure if they charge you for leads or not, but don't purchase anything. You can check out places like www.transcriptionresource.com to find companies, and post your resume on the boards.  Most of those work at home leads places are dead links to so called jobs.   I found my jobs on this board. HTH  Good luck!!


I dont cherry pick, never did. I dont do that to my coworkers on my account.

What is the new status. I dont understand what it means. I dont need their benefits nor do I want
them.
I dont know what that means. I am an SE. I dont sit and wait for work I come back in when it is
there so I never had to deal with Amherst when there was no work because I just stopped working and did other things. My feeling is if this doesnt work there are other jobs out there.
I just dont want to hit that extra space if I dont get paid for it, ya know. No message.

Yes, purchase (or have one built)

Yes, I would like to purchase one or if it is more cost effective to have on built I would like to do that. The platform that I use now is VERY expensive. If some knows of a company that can build one for me I would appreciate the info.


also, do you have to purchase your own pedal?

wow, I had to purchase mine :(

I purchase insurance independently so

I didnt get the packet, do we have to take their insurance if we dont need it. I dont want it. Wish
I would have gotten the stupid thing to read.
My children are insured by their father and I purchase my

insurance.  For vacations, I work an extra day a week for a twice a month for a couple months going into the month of my vacation.  As for holidays, I usually work them.  I look at it as being blessed enough to have a job at home where I can be with my girls and so if my usual days off happen to fall on the holiday, I usually volunteer to work 1/2 day, usually in the evening of the holiday so I can have the day with my girls and I work after they are in bed.  Hope this helps!


You can purchase that insurance online. Just go to their website. You sm
do not need to be in a group.
You want to PURCHASE your own platform? Platforms are very expensive so

$1000 toward the purchase of a new hybrid vehicle
It's a nice way for TT to encourage environmental consciousness. My husband and I are in need of a new car. Haven't made a decision yet, but we're definitely considering taking TT up on this offer.
did you have to purchase equipment for this service to work or do they supply - nm

Version 8 stinks. I would not do purchase anything to work for a company.
don't do it, unless they are paying you 12 cpl to edit the VR.

Tell them you can not afford it with the line rate they pay...he he!

Happy New Year!!
Does anyone speak legalese? From the MDI/Transcend purchase contract- sm

I found this.  Now it sounds to me like that means they possibly have a list of people they plan to let go? And they can let go the rest at any time?   There was prior mention of MDI supplying T with a list of people making over $35,000.  Would they be the peope on Schedule 6.11?  The entire document is here:  http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/858452/000119312509183673/dex20.htm


Section 6.11 Employees.


(a) Purchaser shall continue the services of the employees of the Company following the Closing except for the individuals listed on Schedule 6.11 hereof who shall be terminated at or shortly following the Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing herein expressed or implied shall confer upon any employee of the Company, any other employee or legal representatives or beneficiaries of any thereof any rights or remedies, including any rights to employment or continued employment for any specified period of any nature or kind whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, or shall cause the employment status of any employee to be other than terminable at will.


(b) Purchaser covenants and agrees that in connection with any decision concerning a Company employee’s eligibility for participation and vesting in any employee welfare benefit plan, employee pension benefit plan, or employee fringe benefit arrangement established or maintained by the Purchaser, the Purchaser will recognize such employee’s cumulative prior service with the Company.


Well, I know that MTs from my office have quite MQ and they dont post on here but I dont know how
many. I think MTs with MQ may be getting second jobs and just working for 2 different places at the same time which is probably the smart thing to do anymore because MQ will continue with this short TAT and as it spreads throughout other  offices people will continually be running out of work especially after going on DQS.
You obviously have the wrong company. If they dont IM you, then you dont have it on..
I smell management. Nothing you said makes sense unless there is another Focus out there.
Sorry if I dont like gutter humor. Also dont like

I don't hesitate to ask. Have been told "yes", and have been told "no." Never been to
:+
Dont kid yourself that people dont know what is going on. Do you honestly think these office people
dont talk. Maybe you should make sure you know what you are talking about before you open your mouth.
You dont have to tell me..

I see it quite clearly.  Some of that stuff is just plain crap, and it takes longer to change every other word or heading, etc. than to just type it yourself.  Trust me, I know the game they are running.  I am just trying to prevent others from going through the same thing a lot of us are going through right now.  All of this could have been avoided by just having a little more consideration towards their MTs.  There is ABSOLUTELY no reason why we should have had to work for 12 days and not know what we were making--NO REASON.  I think this really shows just how much they really DON'T care about us as MTs, and that makes me both sad  and angry .


 


I dont know why
WHY what did your lawyer think?
dont do it
there are jobs out there that are more dependable.  Dont go there.  Not right now.  Honestly, the system is new and there have been many new changes implemented.  They are still in the process of making changes and it is a mess.  The system has so many bugs in it that it is constantly going down and screwing up.  There are times that it is down for hours and hours.  You cannot depend on getting your line count in.  Also, there is lack of work on many, many accounts way too often.  They are going to editing and you will only get paid about 4 cpl.  It is a mess.  Please look somewhere else.
Dont do it. Dont take the job. You will

really regret it.  I was laid off from my hospital job and went to work for a national and it has been the absolute worst experience.  My income has gone down so much that I leave the answering machine on now because the bill collectors are calling me every day.  The security of knowing that you are paid by the hour no matter what makes all of the difference in the world.  When the national has platform problems, computer problems, no work (which happens frequently), etc. you are NOT PAID.  You just have to sit and wait until THEY fix it.  The benefits are nothing like you get working in house and they are so expensive.  I just really think you should consider all of these factors and understand that it is very different from working for a hospital.


At least it has been for me, they dont TELL you to sit and
and I dont if I dont want to. If I have otherthings to do, I do them. Places to go, I go. As FT though, I do make up the hours or use PTO (which I hate doing) and really more now since my company took any PTO over 40 hours we had not used as of 12/31.
I dont know but it

is a paid ad, so they have to still be in business. They can't be too hard to find on Google or they would damage their business dealings. Sorry, I just saw the banner and knew people were questioning their existence.


 


I just dont do it
I personally do not accept a job that pays low. I can understand if you need the job yesterday; but with forethought and planning, a seasoned Transcriptionist should NOT work for peanuts EVER! I try not to accept less than 10 cpl, period; 9 cpl is really easy account as a subcontractor of course.
DONT DO IT! nm

DONT DO IT
DON'T DO IT...they ARE the same company as in the Phillipines operated by a very nasty CEO that will NOT pay you.  She has been sued so many times for non payment.  Not good people to work for.
DONT DO IT
YES they are the same company in Tennessee and the Phillipines.  I use to work in both offices...trust me...DONT DO IT...very nasty owner, short fuse and will NOT pay you!
Dont ask, dont tell. nm

I dont know about everyone else, but my PC
In the last coupla weeks, it's slowed down about 50%.
You dont have to have radar here
Agree with poster above who said that only you can change things for yourself.  Maybe shouldnt have used the terms babies.  Fine, okay, I'll admit that.  And I dont take anything on here personally.  All I am saying is that all anyone does anymore is complain.  It is tiresome and old. 
you work there dont you? You tell us

Dont you wish someone would have warned you?...
I have gotten a lot of grief for trying to warn people about what was happening to me and others and that it would soon be happening to a large majority of you.  I think it is a duty that we should all have.  Why would you let someone else go through something horrible if you could possibly stop it.  I loved the "old" Transcend and its management--not too happy with the "new" Transcend or its management.  However, that is my opinion.  I see there are many others with the same opinion, and these number will continue to grow if Transcend does not wake up.  I was a "Current Transcender" until now.  I just can't do it anymore.  I tried to fight the good fight and hold on to them (at least until I found something else better), but my children need to eat, and I have a mortgage and bills to pay.  I can no longer be a Transcend cheerleader.  I was a cheerleader in the past and referred other MTs to the company (all of whom left before I did), but it is just a really "bad" place to work as far as wages go.  I have to do what is best for me now.  I can't go bankrupt for Transcend.  Thank God I had the wisdom to find another job to supplement early on in this "transition" process.  If not, I would be homeless now.  I certainly do not wake up every day with my only purpose being to bash Transcend.  I had to be honest with myself and others or I couldn't sleep at night.  I wish all of you the best and hope you and Transcend figure it all out before it is too late for you.
Dont worry,
I never got a phone call, but got my packet today. 
One word......DONT'!
