So which company ended up winning the bid for

I hope the winners are happy with their money. Selling out their fellow MTs must come with great satisfaction. To praise a program that takes money from a hard-working MT for not being able to understand some of the worst dictation ever recorded is a form of prostitution, only they are selling their souls instead of their bodies. ...

I realize I may become very unpopular here after saying what I have to say, but so be it. And I'm NOT management, so no accusations, please..... I definitely have not agreed with a lot of MQ's new "plans," and I'm still going to remain open to change my mind with this current one, but I don't think it's going to be as bad as we think. I mean, haven't we all been griping about SOME MMEs either not being able to fill in our blanks, filling them incorrec ...

I made the mistake of choosing to read it while eating my dinner. Blecch. It just sounds SOOO fake, so sickeningly sweet. Notice how all the words are manipulated to make MQ sound so wonderful. And who the heck calls Benchmark "Benchmark KB"? KB? Come on. I have yet to see it even once referenced that way on this board by real MTs. Really smells like a suit to me. Watch them use that winning essay in some publication or MQ adver ...

Seriously who cares? Give me work and pay me a decent wage. I don't ask for too much. ...

The score for this quarter? Mine is still showing my QA accuracy score exactly as it was prior to 09/30, which made me ineligible for the weekly production incentive bonus for the entire last quarter. So now my "new" score for the quarter that ended 09/30 is 99.28%, which would mean I'm eligible for the weekly incentive bonus for this past week, right? However, my Webclock timesheet shows the 98.64% score from before 09/30 and shows me with an incentive (Better Me Better W ...

I started 3rd shift in April of this year, but since daylight savings time ended I sit down at my computer and start to fall asleep! Anyone ever had this problem? Any suggestions or tricks to stay awake for the night? ...

I have been struggling to reach my line counts at a certain company for a while now. I thought it was me. I've been working really hard to get faster and use more shortcuts, etc. I just looked at my stats and I did 38 minutes of dictation per hour but only ended up with 160 LPH? How is that even possible? I haven't had any dictations today with a lot of dead air or anything like that. I've done 200+ minutes of dictation today and have 1400 lines to show for it. I'm just wond ...

I just read the "winning essay" in my Q email. Pretty much was the same hype that Q used to try to sell this to us in the first place, just with the words rearranged. Wonder if it really was an MT who wrote it? At any rate, it's nice to see that the Q still has some people who have faith in the sinking ship. Personally, I think the iceberg was hit a long time ago when ASR came out, and the Titanic has been sinking ever since, with MTs floating in freezing waters. & ...

I am working at a company who observes certain holidays and we are required to work 4 of them, but this is the first company I have ever worked where I have to use my PTO on the holiday I am supposed to be off. Does your company do the same? Thank you! :) ...

up and I'd be back at square one, making no more than their "maximums." I wonder, are this new maximum pay going to stay the same (or lower)? I mean, in 5 or 10 years (if we are still here) will it be the same? Or less? I think so. ...

what's going on? ...

We are a pretty big company, and we think we know what transcriptionists want, but it doesn't hurt to ask. There are a lot of top people in our industry that are finding themselves without jobs, often without notice, both managers and transcriptionists. I think that the tide is turning, and that we need to make sure that we treat our people right, so if you could take a few minutes and answer this, maybe we can make a difference. I am asking for real answers, ones that ar ...

one to stay away from. Integrity. They test you, claim they are checking your references and then when you email asking if they got hold of the references, crickets. Not a word from them. This has been a few weeks, too. If they are this rude just during the recruiting process, I hate to think what working for them would be like. ...

Has anyone heard of a company called MDOfficeManager? I was interested but I do not like the way they require SSN and other personal information up front before allowing the applicant to proceed with other parts of the application, including online tests. I have heard there are fake websites for job applications. Thanks. ...

Some days are more aggravating than others with this company. ...

I'm trying to do research on some companies before applying. Can anyone tell me how to do this or if it is possible to do this yet on MTStars? Also if you know of other web sites that are good for this type of research, that would be helpful as well. ...

I have never done straight typing, my first MT job was with VR (even though I didn't even know they had stuff like that, LOL) now I love it and I am looking for some VR companies that are good to work for. If anyone could point me in the direction of some companies. Thanks so much ahead of time ...

I have over 30 years in this field and it seems that a lot of companies are either cutting the MT's pay to edit on ASR and/or are offshoring work out to India, Pakistan, Philippines, etc. I don't believe in sending our jobs overseas, and I've also given ASR at whirl (a long whirl lol) and I still couldn't increase my lines per hour to compensate for the cut in pay that I had to take by doing ASR. So what I'm looking for is a company that does not do ASR, do ...

Im wondering, MQ is supposed to be the #1 MT company, biggest, Spheris is supposed to be #2, the other company I also work for is #4...what company is the #3? Does anyone know? ...

Has anyone ever heard anything about this company? I have tried a search, but have come up with nothing. I have job posting automatically sent to my email for at home transcriptionists and they always seem to be hiring. Anything all will be helpful. ...

Does anyone know of any companies hiring that use IME's? ...

I will begin my job search in a few short months after graduating from M-Tec. Reading the company board has been an experience with all the negativity, but everyone has different experiences with a company and entitled to their opinion. My question is what do people look for in a company in the current market? How do you know if a company is a good fit for you? What would you consider a "red-flag" that would make you turn away from a company? No this isn't a school assignment or anything ...

The company I work for hired me as full time 1000 lines with benefits. 3 months later they changed their policies to 1200 lines anything under no benefits. Also we can not work over 40 hours. How can they pay me by line but then tell me how many hours I can work? I don't work hourly. I love transcription but I've been with 2 companies in the last year and can't meet all their requirements to get benefits. Is this normal? I used to work fo ...

Wondering how most companies assess for employees' quality on an ongoing basis. ? ...

Anybody ever hear of Transcription Matchmakers? You mail in your resume and they match you up with the company that's right for you. ...

I've not worked with it and was wondering how much money I'll lose with this and what others think of it. ...

Would you be able to perform at that level? I'm sure there are some of you that say you consistently produce 100% quality and at least 400 lines an hour. I'm not talking to you. How about the regular MTs out there? Are there any companies that require this? Is it even attainable with the subjective nature of this job? How about if all of your accounts are ESLs and your pay gets docked if you send more than 1 document a day to the QA department? ...

that doesn't skew lines, lie to its MTs about it, pays a decent rate, has an MT-friendly platform, doesn't outsource, usually has a good workload, respects its MTs? I'm so angry at having my lines cut and being lied to about it I'm moving on, but I fear anywhere I go it's going to be the same thing. Are there any good companies out there anymore? ...

Hi all. I've been an MT for over 20 years. The company I currently work for has ridiculous policies and we are docked for mistakes. I've also been on night shift for 2 years and would really like to work days. I know no place is perfect, but I would like some opinions from you about where you work, and if you are relatively happy with your company. Thanks!!! ...
