Volunteer Transcription out of Tennessee? - MT2009


Posted: Nov 02, 2009

Does anyone work for Volunteer Transcription out of Tennessee?  Is the workflow consistent?  ESLs?  QA issues?  Pay issues? Thanks for your input.

I tried her for about a day. - sm

I could not understand the instructions using the FTP site because she didn't explain it very well. Everything is abbreviated and it was just way too confusing for me and it didn't really have to be.

I did transcribe quite a few reports for which she never paid me. I didn't really care because the lady was so scatterbrained, I just wanted done with it already.

It did not work out for me and I have extensive experience with FTP sites. Her's was just so unorganized. I think she stiffed me about $30.00. Oh well!

Don't allow youself to be beat out of pay, for YOU as well as those coming from behind. - darlene

Send her an email, just say wanted to make sure you have my address so you know where to send my check. Let me know when I can expect it please.

Trust me when I say it is not worth my time. - sm

She can keep the 30.00. I chalked it up to experience. Sometimes we learn the hard way. The problem is that when I told her it was not working out, I never heard back and I never went back on the FTP site. I don't even have her e-mail and I really could care less. So when she says Volunteer, just know she means volunteer! LOL

I think I'll pass on this one. Times are too hard right now not to get paid or to have to go chasing after your check.

Thanks for your input.

Come to find out a short time later that she had ditched every worker in the company...either shorting their pay or not paying them at all and above all, she even owed money to workers in INDIA as well.
