to ask for a mentor, and be paid for your work. I think that would get you much farther along, more effectively.

I have never worked for Transcend but what you say makes common sense. If there is one weakness in many at-home MTs (and I say this lovingly) is that some of them have no business sense. I always have anything such as a contract, etc. reviewed by legal counsel. Of course it is expensive, but not nearly as expensive as not having something reviewed and getting into a mess. I think that, especially in a situation such as a merger, legal review of any contract I signed would be mandatory. Not saying that anyone has done or would do anything wrong, not at all. I am just saying that it is much easier (and less expensive) to protect one's hiney from the get-go. Good luck, and as they say in the Air Force, COVER YOUR SIX O'CLOCK!
Hit my head and now I am wiser!
I was offered an IC job, which I turned down because as I explained to them, if I am going to commit to over 12,000 per pay, I would like to be an employee. They agreed and asked if I could be an IC for one week and start employment on 06/30. Well, I have been working as an IC for nearly a week for them. I have not seen any employment papers or IC paperwork. I simply turned off their software until further notice. I get the feeling when Monday roll around, it will be a different story and I would have helped them clear up a lot of ESLs and other work that is behind. I will not work anymore for them until I see some kind of paper work. I do not even have a logon ID, have not filled out any kind of paper work, etc.
To Older but maybe not wiser
I don't know where you have been working but most companies require the MTs to look up ADT and names of physicians. I have yet to find one that pays extra for this. Besides, if you are good, this doesn't take that much time!
Also, I think Transcend's QA does a darn good job with feedback, and yes, they are able to decipher the more difficult dictators!
I sure am glad you no longer work at Transcend with your lousy attitude! I hear Medquist and Spheris are hiring. I'm sure they would love to have you and MGR there, LOL.
