TT - New marketing and sales team? Who's gone? - News to me.

They never tell us anything - sm

They never tell us anything until they read these boards and see how unhappy everyone is. Then an email gets sent out about how wonderful things are and how TT is growing and new things are happening. Hey, instead of hiring new people for that "new" acute care hospital, put me on it! I would love to have 8 hours of work in a day! Doesn't that make sense?!?!?! The email upset me because instead of saying we are required to pay you for training, I was hoping it would say, yes we would love to pay you because we appreciate each and every one of you.

Right. Required to pay us. - Fail

That was an epic fail. There was no way they could get away with not paying us. Though, they certainly tried to get away with it! Now we get the voice from the top telling us that "we are required" to compensated nonsalaried employees for training. They don't want to, but they are "required" to. Oh, yeah, and training has to be done during the scheduled shift. Right.

Don't bother to mention the previous communication about not being paid for mandatory training. Ha! Not even a faint smoke screen claiming a miscommunication.

Because there was no mea culpa for the previous emails, the unwritten message is, "We would have screwed you if we could have gotten away with it."

You people boggle my mind! TT has shown us over and over through the years - TTecher

how much they appreciate us. Did you bother reading the email? They are not paying us what they are "required" to pay but are paying more. Give them a break, please!

I dont love everything this company does, but I do feel that they really do care about their employees. They dont offshore. They are definitely the best of the bunch.

Can you give them a slight break once in a while?

I did give them a slight break already - when they cut my pay

I know the VR rate is industry standard, but it stinks. Today I make about half what I made when I started with TT. That I'm still there is more than giving them a break. But, I think I've reached MY breaking point!

amen - dc

I told my husband how this stuff works--he has a job in corporate ****, which certainly has its drawbacks, but his pay has not been cut in half and he does not have to work 7 days a week now. He is not in danger of losing paid time off, etc., if he does not make a certain "line count" which he has been set up by his company to not make unless he does work 7 days a week. He said, "that's slavery." kind of says it all.

my edited word was "h-e-double-hockey-sticks." crikey.

Oh please - sm

Their first email said they are not paying us. So you enjoy working for free? Then they probably came on these boards and saw that people contacted labor and board departments so they sent out an email basically saying, oh okay because we are legally required to pay you I guess we will. So you think that's fair? You think that's loyalty on their part? You think that is treating us good? Ha

If you dont like it, leave. I doubt you'll be missed and I promise you - TTecher

that there are plenty out there waiting to take your place!

I am leaving. I am retiring in August. So enjoy slaving away at TT - nm

TTecher. Must be management...rude. - anon

Telling people to leave when things are unjust? Looks like you fit the pattern of a person who reeps the benefits of those who fight for justice. We are just trying to make a LIVING. To say nobody will be missed...excuse me. I have trained a lot of MTs in my day and I appreciated the HARD work that goes into it and never ever wanted to see one MT leave. It takes a lot to make a good MT. Training and speed don't come easy. Replaced you say? And then for how long before the new batch find out?

Watching this thread and wanted to respond to - your ludicrous accusation - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
As an MT for another company, I tell those unhappy at my company to do the same thing - leave.

It has nothing to do with being a 'suit' or 'management' but plain and simple: If you don't like where you are, move.

Looks like paranoia on the part of anyone to make an assumption that someone's contrary opinion makes them management.

Left and HAPPIER for it!!! sm - SnoopDog

It's not an easy decision to leave a company, BUT, every single time I have finally left a company, I am always happier. Old doors...... Some of the companies I have worked are looked back on as "the dark days" and "never ever again."

Ever since the first post Friday evening about TT was made, (sm) - InterestedObserver

[ In Reply To ..]
I have been waiting for someone to come and say "if you don't like it, leave." It occurred to me last evening that of course that hasn't happened yet because it's a weekend. I'm sure there will be repercussions in the morning when the management team comes in.

Come on TT, listen to your MTs. Again and again, issues are taken up on this board publicly and then there is action or an explanation from the company. For now it may seem like there is a whole plethora of eager MTs out there, but that won't last.

Your employees have been asking for communication for a couple weeks now. If it is as slow as they say, it seems like someone could be picking up the phone and getting/giving some feedback instead of responding again only after several employees get seriously upset and speak out on a public forum.

Just something to consider.

You are right interested observer - anotheranon

[ In Reply To ..]
Said perfectly interested observer. They certainly showed their hand on this one. The whole weekend goes by and nothing said.
TT went downhill awfully fast. What a shame. I really thought I would retire from there.

if you don't like it - anotheranon

Your subject line says it all....spoken like a true manager. You are absolutely right, no MT will be missed because there are others standing in line.
I did leave, I know I am not missed and the sad thing of it is, Ms. Manager, TT used to be a good place to work. It is the attitude that we won't be missed, easily replaceable, and that we will put up with the stuff you are trying to pull is what gives you the attitude.
There has been no work there for months and sorry, but there ain't no other way to sugar coat "no work." It is what it is. And to try to not pay people for training and expecting 2 timesheets is totally ridiculous.
You don't need to tell us we won't be missed, it shows in the treatment.

The honest truth is, is that everyone suffers when someone leaves. - anon

Managment has to take Constructive Critisizm. The complaints are justified, yet there are no meetings to voice them at other than this board. "Don't like it leave" is pretty illiterate. We are just looking for justice with nobody to back us up. Nobody wants to be unemployed, we are just trying to fight to keep from being abused. Like most agree is that TT was once good, well taking the people for granted who have made your good name, and not seeing the error of your ways doesn't mean we should just turn the other cheek either. So if we have to fight to keep it good and even make it better, sobeit. Easier to just give up and leave and not care and let the next person fight. The fighters are the ones who give Justice for All..even TTecher!

Just thought I would share an observation. Someone was talking to me about a job in sales, network marketing. The big complaint that I initially had against network marketing was based on what I had heard for many years, that it is like a pyramid setup where the guy at the top makes the most money. However, it turns out that with network marketing the guy at the top makes between 1% and 5%, where my profit on my own sales is between 25% and 50%. In contrast, with MT work, I get less than ...

Please beware of this company. They are literally preying on medical transcriptionists who are having a difficult time finding and keeping a good job (which I think is happening more and more to people who have been doing this for a long time). Anyway, I received an e-mail from them after 9:00 p.m. this evening, a phone call from them (which I didn't answer) and then an e-mail following the phone call. So we have blocked them. They want a fee from MTs, and they will ...

A company called Global Marketing Specialist Group has been trying to post ads repeatedly. They are NOT an MTSO company. They want you to pay $165 for a "background check" and then they will give you a list of potential employers or clients. They are trying to post more ads using alternative e-mail addresses such as gmsgtranscription@. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM. They are not being up front with you and are simply trying to make money from you. You should NEVER pay to work ...

Don't you just love how they try to motivate us to do a good job by emphasizing teamwork and how "important" each of us are as part of a team? Yet the pay is so low you can barely feed yourself or pay the rent? As a result, the team of employees are leaving in droves, at least as soon as they are able to. Certainly not motivated much by mere words not backed up by pay that shows real appreciation. ...

Sooo, was just wondering what exactly does a team lead do and how much do they make? I am fairly new to Transcend/Nuance, and my regional manager seems to always be the one directing things, emailing, calling you back if you have ??. I really don't have any idea what my team leader is doing other than sending account stats and I think she checks the time sheets for errors. Add to that the fact that I get emails from 3 different team leaders within my region with essentially the exact sam ...

NOBODY IS AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTION YOU MAY HAVE. All the sudden no matter who is "on" always has a busy notice up on their status. How frustrating is this when you work on an account where seems like every other crappy speaker wants things done their way, which contradicts everything else and ultimately makes no sense. But do you think that anybody would be available to answer a question H NO!!! All their "changes" to make things better are only making things wors ...

The TSM and QC person I've worked with forEVVVVER in the west is gone, both of them being moved up into new positions, and dividing their accounts and the entire team of MTs/MMEs has been disassembled and moved to other areas. I am *terribly* sad about this because they were both absolutely amazing to work for, but I'm glad that I'll be staying in the Western region. My question is about my new TSM here in the West. Her initials are KP ... anyone working with her?&nbs ...

We have a right to know who is auditing our work and essentially who holds our jobs in their hands. We also have a right to be able to review our reports that have been audited.
