DTS/Transend supervisor/TL both not available - game-on


Posted: Jun 01, 2011

I haven't worked for DTS long, but knew Transcend was taking over and so far that looks good.  I have had problems getting straight answers from DTS supervisor since hired, like when the supervisor, TL, and QA people were on duty.  The nice recuiter told me she would get me a list without my asking, but forwarded the request to my boss who said she didn't know why I needed this information.  Really?  Isn't this the first information everyone gets--how to contact bosses for help during your shift since the boss might work a different shift?  Why would that be a secret?  At the same time, she assured me that I was not alone and they were there to support me.  Hello, if the schedules are none of my business, how does that support me if I am floundering and need help?  This boss also has the TL and front desk call you the minute they think you are are not logged into your job.  ExText and the vpn will disconnect if left idle for too long, so how are you supposed to take your legal breaks if you don't log out?  They call you right away and tell you to log back in to your shift--like you are a bad person.  I call that spying and not necessary.  When they put me on the wrong accounts, one of which turned out to be horrid-like 90% ESL, I complained several times and was told by one of the above to basically shut up and do it, that it was part of my job.  Guess what honey?  Nobody has to be tortured with 90% ESL if they are unhappy and I was not informed nor did I agree to that work.  I have done transcription for decades in hospitals/clinics and am a CMT, but enough is enough.  Too many ESL's cause me to grit my teeth while I am wondering how to pay my bills because you cannot make enough money because it is very hard work most of the time.  Some accents are beautiful if you are lucky, but most are slow and hard work.  In the last few days, I sent a few emails to boss with no answer and finally one to TL, asking if my boss was off duty in regard to my emails.  She never answered me either.  Gee, I feel so supported.  Today, we received an email from the QA lady telling us that all emails are to be sent only to her from now on.  So, where is the supervisor and team leader?  Is Transend making changes, which could be good...or perhaps too many complaints caused some changes, as I cannot imagine that I am alone in my thoughts?  I was actually considering quitting at this point, which is why I asked where my boss was, but now my interest is perked.  What is up with that?  I have hope still that things will work out for the better, as the basic job and pay rate seem to be great other than the problems mentioned above.  I have learned that you have to be ready to jump ship and go to the next job when too many things are bad in a job, but I don't want to leave Transend without giving them a chance either.  Someone mentioned this is all a game that you have to learn to play and I have jokingly said that for several years, but it is true.  I guess I will hang in there for now and see what the news is.  Does anyone know or want to take a guess?  I am so glad they have this chat line and view other people talking.  Best of luck to all of us!

If you are an employee of Transcend MLS you can get all the information you need at the Transcend MLS Website. Who your TLs are, ROMs are, COO, CO, HR. I was in another buy-out from Transcend and it does take a little while to learn how to play the game. Good Luck.

DTS America (now Transend) Monetary Penalty Imposed
Jun 16, 2011

Is it legal for a supervisor to threaten the group of MT's with monetary penalty for making a very common error on a certain dictator's demographic info?  A DTS America supervisor said this was in place now due to repeated errors on demographic info/signature line.  Are we stupid?  Are we in kindergarten?  Are we in an old-fashioned factory setting from the 1800's and not being supervised by the Labor Board?  DTS is newly owned by Transend, so I wonde ...

Supervisor Upset
Jan 18, 2015

...because so many people are not making 99.5% accuracy in their audits.  Perhaps it is time to consider that whoever promised the client 99.5% accuracy has something quite strong in their medicine cabinet.  For years, the standard has been 98% and that is for a reason.  That number is possible with humans.  Machines sure can't deliver 99.5%; just ask anyone who has to correct the harebrained interpretations of SR, which never learns, by the way.  Do the doctors hav ...

An MT supervisor told me that when they aren't happy with an MT's work because they aren't following instructions or are getting sloppy, they just take them off the schedule. Sometimes they do it gradually and other times leave them with little or no work. They keep the work for the MTs who are doing the best job with the least fuss. Interesting. ...

Disability Discrimination By Supervisor

Supervisor Ignores Emails... What Would You Do?

At this company for one year now and do not like it, not one bit.  The main problem is that the 'manager' ignores my emails.  I complained for MONTHS about the account I was on with a response like "I'll call you later" or response a few days later blowing me off.  I finally get on another account and just do not like it.... not a good fit for me.  oh, and my hours were cut to 30 and I'm sure it's because I complained about the other account.  So ...
