Started working for a company 2 weeks ago and - havent heard from them since

Posted: Mar 10, 2011

so, what do you think? I started working with them 2 weeks ago and at first, you have to pend all your work to QA which I have been doing and I haven't heard anything from anyone. Every other company I have worked with send you QA feedback so you know if you are on track or not.

I am just worried that this place is shady and when it comes time to get paychecks, I will have a hard time.

We need the name of the company to help you - We need to look out for each other

If you post the name of the company, there is probably someone here who works or worked there and can tell you if this is normal or unusual. That might ease your mind.

we might know if you supply a name, otherwise good luck. - anon

Turn your next batch of work in late - see if they become vocal/visible

Not on the attack, but I seriously have to slap my forehead on this one. Does it not occur to you to pick up the phone and *call them* and ask, instead of posting on a forum?

It doesn't *matter* what we think. The only thing that matters are the facts, which you will only get from calling/contacting the company in question.

This is either the second or third time that I have seen this person (sm) - anon

post this over the last couple of weeks and yet I never see them respond to the responding posts, they just post the information and then leave. It kind of makes me wonder about the poster.

I was thinking the same thing... - ME

that there are either a lot of dense people out there, or maybe a troll. Either way, next time I'll pass on a reply :)

I wonder, too - Nick

Could it be some kind of practical joke? Or maybe they aren't the brightest crayon in the box?

OMG, you are the most miserable bunch - of people I have ever seen on here!

This is the first time I have posted on this forum in months!

You know what...who cares what you psychos think. All you do is attack people on here. How hard is it to just offer some friendly advice w/o being total and complete you know whats?

Bravo!!!! - About Time

It's about time someone said it like it is here. I come here to laugh. I certainly wouldn't take the naysayers seriously and hope no one else does either!

Plenty of people "tell it like it is here" - It is a great place for laughs, tho

The things people take So Seriously are pretty funny sometimes.

You got the advice you asked for ... - ME

[ In Reply To ..]
If you can't take straight talk and insist on *friendly* advice you are posting in the wrong place. Nothing you got so far in the way of feedback is vindictive in the least.

Put on your big girl or big boy panties, and grow up.

Let me guess, Sten-Tel? Happened to me too. - nm

I started working for a company 2 weeks ago and it's about 99% VR, so I just edit all day. Sometimes I would rather type it because it would be faster than editing. Other times it is faster to just edit it. The problem is, it is going to take at least the length of the recording to get the job done either way, but with VR I'm being paid only 4 cents a line. It's the same work for less than half the pay I had before with straight typing. I just calculated up what I made ...

I am totally worn out. I have never in my life worked so hard for so little money. They nit-pick everything to death and there are so many pages of instructions that you just can't remember everything. I don't know how these companies expect us to manage a gazillion accounts, each with different directions, etc., but they do. McDonald's is looking better all the time. ...

You know who you are. You even asked questions on this board about setting up an MT company. You have even stopped answering/reading e-mails, even though I have not harrassed you or have even been nasty. I would, however, like to get paid. Your excuses that you are waiting for lines counts from the client and that you will keep me updated is wearing thin. Surely you must have line counts by now since the work was done in February. Or is it because you have spe ...

Our company just started using a voice recognition program. Obviously, we get paid LESS PER LINE for reports doing it this way. The way I see it - this is a way to pay MTs LESS than they are worth. Of course, there is less typing, but with the voice recognition program I use, I feel like it would be faster for me to just type the dang report than make all of the corrections, medical, grammar, etc. ...

My company has begun, one by one, sending accounts overseas. We only have one account left being typed by those of us in the US, and I imagine that one is going over there soon. They lie to us about where the work is going or tell us that there's just not a lot coming in. But MT's can go into each job typed and also see the amount of work coming in. It's obvious that the jobs are now being typed by people whose first language is not English. I'm ...

Always on edge wondering what error they're going to ding you for next. Constant reminders of all you're doing wrong, and never getting told what you're doing right. Poverty wages. The only reason I'm working for this company is so I can keep my health insurance. The minute I get a new job, which I search for every day, I'm done here. ...

My region has just brought on a few new accounts which would be considered a good thing for most but here is my problem. I'm an MME so these new accounts are all 100% QA which means I've only made $0.03 cpl for days now. To make it a thousand times worse, it seems as if every doctor on one of our new accounts has a different set of samples and formatting to follow so when I'm not earning $0.03 cpl QA'ing other people's work I've got at least a dozen samples open ...

It might take years of counseling to undo what this company has done to its employees. This is like being in a really, really, really bad relationship that you can't really describe to anyone outside of it because it's so nightmarish they would think you were making it all up. When it's all over and the lights are turned off (and they will be, soon), we'll all have the absolute craziest tales about this company to tell people, because nobody, absolutely nobody e ...

I am applying to a company that would like me to give names and phone numbers of current and previous employers for verification. I have really only had one "employer" in the last six years. All the rest are companies I do IC work for, including the one I am working for now. Do I put the company names and phone numbers down? It feels somehow wrong, like I am breaking confidentiality or putting their names and numbers down in some sort of behind-their-back way. Any t ...

Hello everyone! I just found this forum. I currently work part-time as a legal virtual assistant.

My daughter-in-law is just about to finish my transcription course materials (she has finished the book work and is working on transcribing the voice files).

Hey everybody, I just needed to vent a little bit. I started my first day on my first job, and it went absolutely horrible. I was using the Emdat InScribe platform, which seems easy enough, but they have sooo many templates that the doctor should be using and isn't. My first few reports were okay, but then everything went downhill. I'm supposed to use the templates, but half the time, I had to erase 3/4 of them because it wasn't what he was saying. The wrong templates would load, ...
