Yep! It's true. No explanation...only that until work picks up, everyone logs out!! Unbelievable!

Probably getting ready to bring on the next group of - hires. Why do they do that.

I'm sorry for you, but it's really not surprising. They advertise for help every 10 days like clockwork so there is obviously something not right there. Good luck to you!

Nope not even close. - destinyisntfree

I hate when people make assumptions without all of the facts and I also hate when people put things out there without giving all of the information. This applied to only one account. It also was just for a day. The volume got very low and the client asked us to back out of that one account until it picked up a little. That was all.

That was not what the email said - newMT

and you know it. I also work at TTD part-time and received the same email. I will not go into what was said in the email, but it is an apple-to-oranges situation. We were not told to stop all work, where you got that from only God knows, but for whatever reason you decided to come on here and misinterpret what was said in that email, well that's on you. The only reason I decided to answer this post, and I have thought long and hard about doing so, is that I find your blatant, outlandish post really inexcusable and it just did not sit well with me. You may reply if you wish, but I have said what I needed to say and that will be it for me. You have a good day and God bless.

You can go jump in the lake as you are obviously someone trying to cover for the company. The word "everyone" was used TWICE in that message and is EXACTLY what was said. Short of copying and pasting the email....
Now this morning there is an email stating there was a "misunderstanding" and it applied to only certain shifts. What a crock! I can read and I KNOW what the email said. You're crazy if you continue to work for this company.

Thank you newMT - destinyisntfree

Thank you for not allowing the false information to perpetuate. There is nothing that bothers me more than someone spreading incorrect information. Thank you for standing up and being honest.

What? I'm actually not surprised - sm

This company is so disorganized and the owner is atrocious.

Applying with Nuance - na

[ In Reply To ..]
They appear to have a lot of job openings and I need an income to pay my bills!

I work at Nuance. . . welcome to hades. - anon

No, really it is mostly okay other than QA is crazy stupid. I think to get a job at Nuance QA you have to have been a Nazi in a past life.

As long as you resign yourelf to never getting the "incentive bonus" it's okay.

Love working at Nuance! - anon

I have no complaints about Nuance and have not had any issues with the QA department. Overall it has been a great place to work.

Gotta say that was an instant rah-rah response. I can't recall anyone ever using the word "love" for Nuance, but sure.

I said they were okay. Not the worst I've ever had but no way do the merit the "L" word.

Nuance QA is HORRIBLE, I stand by that statement. It is the SINGLE thing about Nuance that I just DESPISE and that includes the low pay and never getting a raise.

I would agree that Nuance probably wouldn't be so bad if - they did not restrict you to

[ In Reply To ..]
0.0413 cpl. The fact that they do not pay based on experience and skill set is ridculous. I dont work for them and pray that I never have to based on the pay. I just could not afford to live of such a low cpl.

But for those working for TTD, it would actually be a raise because they only make 3cpl.

I too worked for them and got that message sm - substill0

I think they are nice enough people, but they are just unorganized. NOBODY should go to this company as a main source of income. They are NOT dependable. One day the work is there and plenty of it..the next day "stop working until further notice"-type stuff. I believe the account was pulled for crappy work. Just my opinion.

You believe incorrectly. - destinyisntfree

[ In Reply To ..]
The account itself did not go anywhere. The volume was just a little low and the client asked us to back out until the volume built again, that was all. We still very much have the account in question.

They just had an ad posted for hiring. I agree with poster - below, sounds like acct was yanked.

[ In Reply To ..]
why would a company who is continuously hiring all of a sudden tell its employees to Stop Working until further notice?

Because they don't pay their current ICs. - trixie61

[ In Reply To ..]
I've worked for them for 2 years and they do have some very small accounts that do not need daily service. So, I would give them that. But, I also haven't been paid for over a month on the accounts I do work on daily, so in the end, I have nothing nice to say about TTD. Oh...also starting wage was 2.5cpl VR and I 'lived' with that for 2 years before growing a pair and got 3cpl (that I have yet to get paid). Yup...me stoopid gurl.

Whew! - 11th-hour save

Talk about a close call! I just applied to them a week or so ago. Glad I read your post first. In the event they do call about my application, I've been forewarned (and will run like the wind). These companies seem to think us remote workers have some kind of disposable income or even a second income. I just got out of a job like that.

Thanks for the heads up!

You are VERY welcome! Luckily, I didn't quit my "day job" so I'm not without income, but I know new MTs think when they get hired it will be easy street and nothing is certain in this business!

Good luck in your search.

I guess I'm possibly 2 weeks away from termination if I don't pass the next 2 audits. Trying to look at it as a blessing in disguise :) Never failed an audit in the over 10 years that I've worked for Medquist, or maybe I was never audited who knows. ...

Hi all. I've been doing medical transcription for over 20 years, and have been with the Q for almost 12 years (the first year in the office and at home, and then they sent us all home). Been through all kinds of changes, from working in the local office and at home, to working at home, to being moved to the responsibility of another office, to that office closing down, then to working for a "virtual office" and finally a "service area." I lost count of how many superv ...

Just gave my notice! Working for the Q was just too stressful! Pay was crap, hours were crap. I couldn't take it anymore!

Just accepted another job for better pay and better hours.. ...

I thought I found a good company to work for until I got a two returned checks from them in the mail. The first time I thought mistakes can be made but AGAIN my check was returned.

I have not been contacted about this check and I just quit because enough is enough. This is very dishonest and unprofessional to say the least. I have a family to take care ...

Okay, so I got a job offer! Yeah, sounds great but the pay was at low level, but I kept my options opened and I said okay. They do not use the standard counting and count a line if there is only one word. I thought Wow that is strange but maybe the companies I have been for are more on the straight and narrow. Then she told me no contract, just too much paperwork and a lot of "mumble jumble". I thought okay odd but okay. Then said told me it was on a trial bas ...

Everyone please be aware that TTD is not someone you want to work for. Be aware that you wait 6 weeks for the first check only to find it is short. They are constantly hiring and advertising jobs. They just laid off 16 people last week and now they have new job postings. BE AWARE THAT THEY INTEND TO NOT PAY YOU ON TIME AND PAY WILL BE INCORRECT. Amy and Dawn have developed a greedy practice. I have a long list of previous MTs that have not been paid and the li ...

I had to give up my $39. a month wireless ISP to comply with client requirements. Had to sign a 2 year contract with the company "C.L." whose ads claim it's only $19. a month. The speed connection for that price is equivalent to dial up. By the time you really have the DSL you need you are up to $63. a month. I also had to get a landline which I did not need. It rings ALL day with wrong numbers and solicitors so is useless to me but I have to pay for it for 2 years. I got my bill on Marc ...

Just a warning to my fellow laid off colleagues. I was sent for vocational skills assessment testing as a part of the process for TAA. I mentioned to the interviewer that MT had turned into a minimum wage job over the last year or so due to outshoring and scarcity of work, and I was really looking forward to retraining and a career change. The long and the short of it is that this was interpreted by the vocational assessment team as since I was working at a minimum wage jo ...

They would attempt to work with an MT to see how to get any problems resolved. &n ...
