Anyone currently working for Uscribe on this Ireland/UK account? - ANON

Anyone currently working for Uscribe on this Ireland/UK account?  I am and for 8 cpl these people are dreaming and they don't give you your line count until the end of the pay period so you have no idea how much money you are making on a daily basis.  They are nice people, and the operations manager is one of the nicest ones I've come across.  Was at Fast Chart and many talk about over staffed! And they could care less if you run out of work they just ignore your e-mails. I am getting out of the business, probably applying at Wal-Mart to be a greeter or a cashier or Target, at least the pay is hourly, employee staus and you get benefits that are affordable.  This business is only for people who want to work at home, and don't have to support themselves, great second income, but for people who are need to pay a mortgage and car payment, not any more.  I wonder how many of us are getting Food Stamps because we keep getting our wages cut, but yet you still see the 'suites' going on European vacations (like Keystrokes, that owner takes a 3 week vacation every year to some exotic destination and has plasma TVS in her bathrooms).    While we sit here in our at home "sweat shops" making money for them an starving and losing our homes with no vacation, no sick, no healthcare, and no money going towards SS. Getting out of business.  Uscribe is nice but there's no money to be made with these people on these accounts, 8 cpl. PLEASE, with no benefits.  That fella better go back to the drawing board and offer more money for this account or he's going to have a revolving door once people get their paychecks this week.  OH that's another thing they already started the "payroll manager had a family emergency so the line counts will be late."  Come on, you only have one person that is responsbile for this, and no backup???? Yeah right.     

Definitely cannot make it on this income - mt

I do transcription from home so I don't have to pay for daycare. I am able to walk away with about what I would have brought home from my "real" job after daycare costs, gas, etc. With that said, if my husband lost his job and had to depend on me for income, I would have to immediately find a job that pays more than transcription, which sadly enough would be as easy as applying at my local White Castle. I feel your pain.

Yeah. I did not last long. .sm - OuttaHereToo

Within the first day, I knew I was in trouble. They are extremely nice people, but the accents, no real account details, i.e. doctor's names/addresses, makes it hard to do the job you know you're capable of doing, especially since these are Irish facilities. I'm officially thinking of calling it quits as well after 18 years.

Me too. Luckily I can retire and still make it on my SS and a small pension. They want experienced MTs who will work for next to nothing. Sadly Target is a better option as at least you get a guaranteed income and benefits. I've been doing the for over 15 years and watched the pay scale decrease as these companies try to squeeze even more profit out of us. I won't miss it!

Thanks for your post; I didn't know this. So...Uscribe is taking away jobs from Irish MTs? U.S.-based transcriptionists are now infringing on the "foreign" MT job market? The next time someone laments about U.S.-based MTs' jobs being "outsourced" to India, I'll think about Uscribe.

I "boycott" MTSOs that import or export work. If I'm opposed to exporting work, then common sense mandates that I, too, am opposed to importation.

I currently work for Uscribe on this account and they are working on a way for us to be able to count our lines on a daily basis. In the meantime, you can come pretty close to it by using the MS Word Count characters with spaces. Everyone I've worked with in management has been extremely nice - couldn't ask for better! As for the e-mails - I've NEVER had an e-mail ignored from ANYONE at this company. They are always answered and in a timely manner.

As for the cpl and the accents - you need to give yourself time to get used to the accents just as you would with anyone who dictates and that only comes with time. There IS money to be made but you have to work at it of course.

Pay has ALWAYS been on time irregardless of unforeseen circumstances such as a family emergency. I feel very sorry that you think a family emergency was used as a ploy of some kind. You must have been burned very badly in the past - but this company stands behind everything they tell you and pay is ALWAYS ON TIME.

They are an extremely MT oriented company and truly care about their MTs.

Are you kidding??!! The company is expanding, so naturally there will be growing pains. However ... if you are willing to put in the effort and work hard, it will pay off. From my experience, this has been a very profitable line of work.

I find Uscribe to be very MT oriented, and the management is nicer than any management I've encountered, especially the Ops Kathy, LOVELY LADY! And I do mean a lady! She is there with us all day long making sure our questions are answered, and assisting in every way for us to have a good workflow. She gives you the clinics you have experience which make it nice. Pay was IN THE BANK YESTERDAY! ON TIME as promised.

I don't know about taking jobs away from MTs in Ireland and UK as I do not have any experience with what they do over there.

All I know is I like this company and I like the work, the Irish and British accents are WAY easier to get used to than the Indian ones. This company is the best kept secret in the industry! I am very happy with Uscribe and hope to be with them for a long time. The addresses are pretty easy if you know how to use Google, and if you can't find them they don't nail you to the cross like some companies, you just do your best that's all they expect.

Those of us that have had bad ROM, TL, etc., will find this Ops manager truly a BREATH OF FRESH AIR! For one I am greatful to have this job.

Happy for you..sm - OuttaHereToo

Glad it's working out. I agree, they are very MT-oriented. I guess I'm just in a place where I don't have the patience to sit in front of a keyboard all day for less money than I know I'm capable of making and also dealing with hassling situations, i.e. accents, etc. Been doing this for 17+ years now. Time for a change. There are other things I do, and I'm going to start taking advantage of those. MT is not what it used to be for sure!
