TransTech hiring? - nn

Posted: Apr 13, 2010

Can you believe this? What about the MTs they have that have little to no work?

no work here - Indeed

I am sitting here with nothing. sad.

Wow. Just wondering, do they ever tell you why they are constantly hiring when there is no work? - Anon

I guess I do not understand the concept. Is everyone there out of work? If they are hiring for a new account, why aren't they trying to train their current MTs low on work on the new accounts. I guess I am not getting it. I wonder if any of the MTs question them when they are sitting there broke and what they have to say for themselves. TransTech is not the only company that does this so there has to be a reason.

no explanation, low work usually blamed on a holiday - just guessing

usually they say holiday or whatever, if they say anything at all. Used to feel stable in employment/field, but no more. Sounds like it's the same almost everywhere now. Outsourcing, gotta love it. Not.

Every day must be a holiday, ya think? nm - NM

spring break is the latest excuse - dc

I guess every single day is Spring Break.

LOL! I'm waiting for the emails blaming the full moon for no work. - Starvin Marvin

Wonder who things up these excuses... They are getting very redundant and I suggest they come up with more creative reasons (cough*cough*lies*cough*cough) for why we have no work. How about 'zombies have attacked the US and everyone is running for their lives. Thus, work is slow this week.'? Come on, we don't believe anything the MTSOs say anyway, so why not be more creative. C'mon, give us a laugh. We can use it!

New accounts coming - but it seems like - MT4Eight

there are enough of us that already work there who run out of work that they shouldn't need to hire more MTs to staff new accounts. You would think they should have enough people to cover. I don't know what the real reason is, I guess I never will. I heard Spring Break was possibly a reason for low work - isn't that a laugh! It sounds to me that all these companies do the same thing, so you just don't know where to go to be secure in your job nowadays. I guess the welfare office might be a secure place to start - oh wait, don't you have to be an illegal alien to qualify for that??

Sorry for ranting - just frustrated

I have work - me

I work at TransTech and I am drowning in work, OT almost every day.

I just wish - BizzyTTer

Depends on the account. My primary and backup are both swamped.

I only wish I could either add hours to the day, days to the week, or grow an extra set of up arms to keep up because, literally, I could work 24/7 and never run out on my accounts.

And an email offering incentive pay just came through so I'm signing off to start working.

I truly hope it gets better on the other accounts for the rest of you, but please do not bash TT as a whole. There are a lot of VERY happy MTs there and it's an excellent company obviously just hitting a slow spot on some accounts.

You guys that are swamped. Is it on Extext or Escription? (nm) - anonymous for now but a TTer

escription - TT/MT

escription

You're one of the lucky ones. I'm always out of work, too - anonymous for now but a TTer

since VR became the norm. I don't mind flexing or running out of work once in a while but it's starting to get old.

I recently separated amicably from Transtech and I always had more than enough work. It wasn't well-paid work, but it was there!

Ay, there's the rub.... - Starvin Marvin

[ In Reply To ..]
Plenty of work on some TT accounts but they don't pay jack. I am on the verge of filing for disability/unemployment because I can make way more with that than with the crappy TT VR. Have you seen the finished docs in the patients' records? Yikes. Just waiting for the implosion when this VR BS totally blows up in the MTSOs' faces.

Sadly, yes.... - TTer

[ In Reply To ..]
Admittedly, I shudder every time I have to look at a previous report because it's painfully clear a lot of the MTs and pushing documents through without bothering to even remotely edit it.

I might not be the fastest person on my account but my reports are as close to straight-typing quality as possible, no matter how long it takes me to make the revisions. I still hold myself to the highest accountability, not TT, for my work. I think they're definitely entitled to assume as professional MTs that the work being sent through is QUALITY work, but...yeah, those previous documents I've seen would give me nightmares if I allowed myself to dwell on them too much.

When the quality of a lot of those comes to light, I sense a huge shakeup of the MTs on my account, because it's obvious they aren't even renumbering lists, etc., even the most fundamental basic things are just being uploaded to the client. I know we all need to make a buck but there's really no excuse for a lot of what's being allowed to slide through.

Amen - dc

I've dared to say it on this board before and when I do, someone takes terrible offense and removes it immediately, so I'm sure this will happen again, but once again: You get what you pay for. If they continue to pay poor wages, they will continue to get poor work from many MTs. I continue to see some really bad reports too, and I know it's because people are zipping through them so as to make any kind of line count at all, much less the "so much more money" we were all supposed to make with VR.

some part-timers anyway, why not offer weekends to part-timers and offer some Mon-Fri shifts for the experienced full-time MTs you're trying to get..... That's about the only way you're going to get many experienced quality MTs. And there are always plenty of MTs looking for part-time weekend work as a 2nd job. ...

I want to work a part time job to supplement my other part time job at Nuance because sometimes there is no work. I see an opening at TTS but when reviewing posts about TTS it sounds like a bad place to work with incompetent recruiters and managers. It seems 95% of the posts are bad regarding TTS. I am leery about working for a company that keeps advertising for help, especially if it isn't a large one like Nuance or MQ. Is this a good company where there is work or ...

Are any decent MTSOs actually hiring ICs... and I mean IC in the traditional meaning of the word; not locked into some arbitrary schedule design, but a daily line committment. I have 10 years experience. The company I was working for no longer has the account I was working on. They have given me some pick up work here and there, but I can't live on $100 a week or less from odd jobs while they find something new and steady. They estimate it may take 60-90 days for that to h ...

Does any one know of a company that is TRULY hiring? The small company I worked for no longer has the account I was. They have nothing steady for me to do right now.

How is TTS (Transcription, Technology & Support) to work for as far as enough work, QA, and overall being a reputable company?

Is this just a scam so that employers don't have to pay benefits and employer taxes? I bet if there was an audit, most ICs and MTSOs would be in trouble for using that classification improperly, especially for the full-time positions. I even applied for a full-time secretarial job in a small law office recently, and was told I would be hired as a contractor with no benefits. I was stunned and declined. I need to check with the labor department to see if some of my concern ...

I've been on this list for a few months now, despite the frequent job ads placed, and have yet to be notified about anything available. ...

They only hire for 2nd shift and that is to do the leftover, picked-through work from 1st shift. There is no way to make good money going this, though they give you a month to get up to 135 lph, which at 8.5 cpl is a whopping 11.48/hour. During training, on the 2nd evening of work, this is how I got treated, getting the worst of the work. I do not get any job satisfaction in doing others' leftover work; it makes me feel li ...
