Wouldn't happen to be eTransPlus would it?

If so, at least they have communicated with you.  I have not heard a thing!  But when work is out of turn around time, everybody is e-mailing

you seem like a greedy uncaring person, so I wouldnt

Sure you would. And you wouldnt be as irritable about the slow talkers.

I wouldnt go get him. Just treat him tonight even if he doesnt have it
That may keep him from getting it. Head lice is a nuisance but not hard to get rid of. I wouldnt sweat it. You should change their sheets, etc...

I wouldn't have acted that way if it was my choice to leave. they gave me no choice. grrr im still so frustrated!!! :(
Etransplus Does
Worked for them for over 5 years and then they decide to cut our pay to according to how many lines we type, example 6,000 lines makes 6 cents, since I had always been part-time with them, that is what I typed, so they expected me to go down from 9 cents to 6 cents immediately no warning, how is that for fair, or rather unscrupulous!!!!
etransplus
You get 2 pages of account specifics, 2 sheets of do not use abbreviations, and a few samples, that's it. The accounts are great, they only require 900 lines per day to be in the pool for drawings and the bonuses, and you can set your hours. I went through 3 nationals before them and have been with them since August and I am very pleased. Plenty of work, good accounts, rarely rarely ESLs, and a good platform to work on. Plus if you get 10,000 lines per pay period, they pay half of your insurance.
ETransPlus
They are out of TN and growing steadily.  In my 20 years, I would have to say the accounts I'm on are the best I've seen anywhere.  The platform is very fast, quick demo page.  It basically looks like a version of Word.  I have maybe only 3 ESLs.   The benefits are good, tiered pay depending on lines, shift differential, etc.  If you meet your goals, work your shift, etc., at the end of the year they pay a bonus based on their profit.  There are several tiers of health, dental, life, disability insurance depending on what you need.  If you make 10,000 lines per pay period, they pay half.  The vacation days are a little limited, 9 per year, but I didn't have any before so I am not complaining.  They pay half your internet costs as well.  No, we don't get referral bonuses. :)
EtransPlus

I believe you have to do 3000 a week for part time.


ETransPlus
Are there any other eTransPlus people on here? If so, have you had difficulty getting your insurance and bonus pay?  I have been with them 10 months now and according to their paperwork, your insurance starts once you reach 10,000 lines per pay period, which was 9 months ago.  I have emailed everybody and no answer.   They promised a hiring bonus too, still nothing.  Getting sick and tired of companies who offer all this and then go into hiding when you ask questions.  What's with hiring the teeny-bopper supervisors????  Anybody else have problems with getting anything out of these people?
eTransPlus does not

EtransPlus
I work evenings and that's 90% of what I get.
etransplus

Has anyone ever worked for this company?  I am considering employment with them, and was wondering if it would be worthwhile.  Any advice would be helpful.  Thanks!


E-MTS or eTransPlus
Can anyone recommend which company they would go with between E-MTS or eTransPlus?  I am currently being offered positions by both and want to make a good decision.  If anyone is or has been employed with either, please post a comment.  Thanks!
etransplus
I have worked for both and I would definitely recommend etransplus.  Did not stay at emts long enough to tell you one way or another what to do with them, but I am more than happy at etransplus.
I was able to use it with eTransPlus - nm

Etransplus and communication
I started with them about 2 weeks ago.  When I started I got a 60 second tour on how to use the system. I received 3 samples of work and no account information. I had to BEG to get the account specifics and that took about another week.  Nobody answers emails, including the lead on the account.  The account I was given is great and the system easy to use, but what's with the lack of communication?  I have another interview today that was to be for a part-time job but I may take another one full time just because of the communication.
Yes, I was talking etransplus
Never heard of etranz and glad I never have!
Are you the eTransPlus Amanda?
What happened?
Shorthand 9/eTransPlus
If anyone is currently working for eTransPlus using ShortHand 9, could you please email me? I am getting extremely frustrated with the program and would appreciate being able to talk to someone who is currently using it. Thanks so much!
Can one make money at etransplus?

Hi,


I am pleased with the benefit package and the line rate for insurance, but I was astounded by style they prefer.  It is just so much.  Can one make money there? 


I think DeVenture, eTransPlus, TransTech, and some Medware accts use
s
I work for eTransPlus, hospital accounts, and QA is great - nm

I told you once, I told you twice, eTransPlus is going down the drain!
Don't expect communication from anyone, we are only little "peons."
how could it not happen?
and how could we have stopped accepting ESL's?  I dont know about you but I have worked as an MT for many years and there is no way we could have stopped it.  First of all, doctors come from all over the world, medicine is a universal language with many different accents..that is just the way it is.  Most doctors I have worked with have accents.  That is part of the job, learning ESL doctors.  I personally dont want any work sent overseas, even the mumblers, ESL's, etc.
This used to happen to me
This used to happen to me back in the 1970s..When I told my doctor, he said it was just that I woke up before my body was able to start producing my chemistries and such fast enough..So I was suspended, if you will, for a few seconds, which felt to me like minutes..I can remember waking up in my mind but my body would not move and I would panic thinking I have to get up..move arm, move leg, get up!!  I believe totally in the paranormal and spiritual word.  I have had experiences in the spiritual world both with family who have passed, animals who have passed and just researching it myself..but..hmmmm..I will have to research what you post about the not waking experience..I tell you, it is quite a frightening experience.  P.S.:  I love Sylvia Browne..I have gone to three of her seminars in Los Angeles..
Does this every happen to anyone besides me? (please SM)
After transcribing for lengthy periods of time, do you feel irritable? Kinda like you want to run to the nearest window and jump out cause you feel all this inner energy but have to sit in a chair and type and it is driving you nuts?

I probably need to takes walks or do something physical but am working 8-10 hours a day.

Just wondering if I am going nuts or what. It is rather unnerving, this feeling. Maybe it is menopausal as I am nearing that age, also. Can anyone identify with this strange feeling?
Where did this happen?
/
Don't ever think it cannot happen to you. You are in
zz
this always does not happen
That is not true. There are too many people working and not enough work. They will always tell you the same thing; it is slow during the holidays, it is slow during the summer, it is slow in the fall, the holidays are coming, etc. there is a storm outside, anything to just shut us up. They just think we are stupid.
changes happen everywhere (sm)
I used to work for another company that has since changed its name and merged with another company. We had so many changes in the 2 short years I was there, enough to make your head spin. Most of the time they were changes not to the advantage of many, or they made it more difficult to keep up with the changes.
Having had this happen to me I am

going to tell you that you have to get a restraining order on him both personally and for a distance that includes your home and such.  Then go to the phone and satellite people as well.  If you give the phone people access they can monitor but you have to be willing to prosecute when they hit the nail on the head.  I suspect it may well be the same with your satellite folks. 


My husband had passed away and I got involved with someone who smelled money .. being an idiot I fell for all the honey/dearie stuff and it cost me money and it cost me my home and damned near my life .. never mind my self esteem.  You had better come clean with your family and get their help because it is misery alone and that is where I was save for a few friends who almost did not believe me.


I never thought I would see the end of it .. but I am here alive and kicking and believe me it is a good lesson to learn.  I am recovering slowly and have days I could probably commit murder yet, but first start with your computer and have it reformatted, get it cleaned up and then scan it every damned day if necessary.


Never had this happen (sm)
but common sense says she was scammed. Why would you have to pay to get a grant? Sounds fishy to me.
I have had this happen before...
and was told that it can just sometimes "happen". Sometimes the test can be done wrong, etc. Hopefully in your case, that will be it. In my case they did a repeat PAP smear, and everything was A-OK. Try not to worry and stress too much.
Anybody ever have this happen?
It seems that the owners to the company I've done work for over the past week have simply disappeared. I cannot contact them via phone or e-mail. Has this ever happened to anyone here? They could be on vacation, I guess? There's no work posted since Friday on the FTP site either. Weird, huh?
I had that happen too
I use the Olympus pedal and had never had any problems, until one day . . .

Anyway, I unplugged it and plugged it back in and that worked, but now it happens all the time (VERY irritating). For me, I think that it may have to do with playing .wav files (vs. the .dss Olympus-recorded files) because it seems to happen with the .dss files only when I have been transcribing .wav files and then switch, but with the .wav files it may happen even if I walk away for a while and my computer "goes to sleep".
I have had this happen too
and it mostly happens when using my doc's templates. These templates were originally done in Word Perfect and altered to be compatible with MS Word. I think it has something to do with that, but I don't know how to correct it, other than to get new templates.
How did that happen??? Should have been

I have had that happen, but
like you said it always goes away pretty quick. This hot tea is really helping, I am feeling it less and less. Whew!!!
I Had Something Like That Happen

I was supposed to be on review for 5 days and I was still on review after 2 weeks.  My accuracy was 99.6%, so I wrote the guy above my supervisor and told him I'd been on the 5-day review for 2 weeks.  He apologized and the next day, I received an e-mail telling me I was off review, had 100% accuracy now, and was doing great.


I would say that he just forgot.  The guy was not upset I contacted him, and I've had DSP (direct submission privileges) since.


Amanda, RMT


Where in MO did this happen??...nm
nm
Had that happen to me once as well
The company took a 15% pay cut on all employees - including the CEO and board officers, although they did get to keep their hefty yearly bonuses that the employees did not get. I stayed a year on the promise of it being given back, then left. That was 12 years ago. I have a friend who still works there and she is still waiting....
OMG, I cannot believe this would happen.....
If you watch all of the news, a lot of parents leave their children in their vehicles all the time "just to run into the store long enough to get" blah, blah, blah and the vehicle is left with the keys, child sleeping in the back and all stolen. So what, pray tell, are you talking about??? Stupidness can happen everywhere and it does. Sounds like, duh, I didn’t know it would happen in my community.....
Anyone had this happen to you?
Yesterday, I gave my notice to the company I have been IC'ing for the last 14 months because I found a job that pays more and pays weekly by direct deposit.  My boss acted like I committed a crime and has been a total jerk ever since.  This is not the first he has acted like a jerk.  Anytime he has a bad day, he takes it out on his transcriptionists and treats us like crap.  I am just really tired of it and needed a change.  So now, he is not communicating with me or sending me any work.  Have any of you ever had an experience like this?
