Transcend and the mightly leaders - What a joke!


Posted: Nov 28, 2009

Does it really help anyone that there are 10 team leaders sending out the same workload emails over and over?  Do they even have a clue what accounts we are on?  I don't need a zillion emails all in a row telling me the same thing.  I get emails about accounts I'm not even on.  Isn't the point of a team leader to manage a team - the team they have?  I also don't appreciate getting sent little word games/puzzles and animal facts like I'm in 3rd grade.  Give me a break!  Do they know we have the capability in EditScript to look at the workflow and see how many jobs are in there?  Bad, bad management!   The next time I get sent a word puzzle to figure out, there better be a prize attached! 

Thanks for the laugh; never played the games myself, lol nm - puzzled

Transcend and the mighty leaders - What a joke! - Nanny

That just tickles my funny bone - I WAS one of those team leaders a couple years ago and I see it hasn't changed, lol It isn't the team leads, don't blame them. It is up the line a bit - some of the ROMs maybe. They put in long, hard days and have a lot of teams and people who change accounts so they can keep busy and all and if there is duplication, just disregard it - I worked long hard hours doing that job and loved it. It is a good company probably the best out there but sometimes the communication is annoying, hand in there. The puzzles and like seem a little nutty though, I must admit but there must be a reason. They are trying to be creative to motivate the ones who really need to be kickstarted probably. Good luck, they are a great company.

I do like Transcend - What a joke!

The team leaders are very nice and I know they are doing their job. It is just hilarious sometimes. The puzzles and interesting animal facts just started a few weeks ago - that is just killing me! Give me a lollipop (if we are going to pretend I am in 3rd grade) or something and you would be amazed at what I can do. Animal facts and puzzles - NOPE!

Are they also going to institute afternoon naptime and graham crackers with milk?

Agree with you - me too

I was a TL too and the hours and pressure are horrendous if you do the job right but some ROM's make it even worse because they are so miserable and demanding. The puzzles and games are not the idea of the TL, they have too much to do to play games like puzzles, but they do play games with their accounts; I will say the team leads do a fantastic job of cherry picking the accounts to death and playing favorites with the employees.

Team Leaders
Jun 21, 2012

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 ...

VR At Transcend
Nov 18, 2009

Did VR develop Alzheimer's?  It has lost everything.  I am tired of no commas, periods, and everything else it reverted back to since its infancy.  It is really true that now you can transcribe faster than you can edit.  Does anyone even care?  Do you know how many times you have to stop in the middle of labs to put in punctuation?   This has been going on for over a month and I haven't noticed any big push to get it fixed.  Just another way to m ...

Transcend TLs ??
Feb 08, 2010

I am curious as to if the TLs are meeting their requirements.  They are expected to type 75-80% of their time and get paid by the line as well .  I am very suspicious that they are not typing VR all day, having their work sent to India, etc, and are getting the straight typing.  They get paid a flat fee per month for their administrative duties on top of that.  I wonder if they are experiencing no work and looking at a blank screen most of their time& ...

Is There More Than One Transcend? I See Their
Mar 19, 2010

job ad on the Seeker's board and it sounds like a place I would like to work.  I work for a company also called Transcend, but they are not a place that I would recommend to anyone.  I haven't worked all week as there has been no work.  Just NJA. So maybe this Transcend is in a parallel universe.  It certainly could not be the same place where I'm employed.  ...


About Transcend
Mar 28, 2010

I have read dozens of posts on the board about Transcend, some good and a lot not so good.  However, I think there is an explanation for some MTs loving it there and others hating it so much. Transcend is a company made up of many other companies through mergers. The original Transcend who existed first, before acquiring other companies seems to be the problem.  On the other hand, for example MDI/Transcend, for the most part does not seem to fit that description. You have to remember ...


VR With Transcend?
Apr 21, 2010

I'm coming to the realization that unless I get faster with editing these VR reports, I am never going to be able to make the full-time production requirements at Transcend.  I'm really freaking out.  Is it really possible to do 300 lines per hour in VR?  How long does it take to get faster with it?    ...

Google Star Clip Itz Note Holder w/ Metal Rod & Alligator Clip to see exactly how much it cost Transcend per MT for this gift that bears so much thought and appreciation.  Do they really not realize how it affects their corporate image when their priority is placed on spending $600,000+ on a failed business venture versus the amount spent to "appreciate" the motor that makes their business run?  That's like spending more than a half million dollars to buy a garage to hous ...


Transcend....yet Again
Jun 05, 2010

I was with the company for over five years, not once failing to meet the requirements of me yet I was told my position would have to change to 2nd or 3rd shift if I wanted to keep my job as there were no positions available for 1st shift.  Two days after resigning I see they are hiring for 1st shift positions on a typing only platform which is what I wanted. I just don't get it. ...

Transcend/DTS
Jun 25, 2011

Did anyone else get the memo from Transcend (soon to take over from DTS) about the line rate change for the transitioning employees from DTS?  It was elegantly written, but basically it said that when the accounts are switched over the VR that the line rates will decrease but productivity will increase and no cut in pay is expected.  It is happening exactly how the posters on this board that have been through takeovers by Transcend said - decreased pay. I gave my notice already BT ...

I have a phone interview with Transcend out of Atlanta and TTS out of New Hampshire today and next week. I've been working for the same MT company for over 8 years, but they're losing accounts and cutting our pay so I'm looking to possibly change jobs. Has anyone worked for Transcend or TTS? I'm scared to death to change jobs at this point. I know the problems and shortcomings of my current company. I switched jobs once before for a few months and found that all the promises ...
