BP will compensate gulf workers but - who will compensate MTs

Has anyone tested with them? Here's their testing process if you're interested......it's a hoot! I got a Word document which asked me to supply the correct spellings. The auto-correct feature already did this for me when I opened the document, so that was a no-brainer. There were questions in which I had to choose the correct way to word a paragraph, etc. There was one that was especially troubling to me, it required me to choose the correct paragraph and it listed several ...

Looking for any info on Gulf Coast Transcription of FL as I am seeking a new home. I am currently working and have time to explore options before jumping ship. ...

tried to apply but it gives me a weird message. ...

Any other GCT MTs on MT Stars at the moment? I can't get in to Chartscript.Net tonight. I get this message: Unable to open this internet shortcut. The protocol https does not have a registered program. Anyone else experiencing this oddity? ...

Just curious if they are still open? ...

I was wondering if anyone who had recently applied to Gulf Coast Transcription had heard back yet. I see they have a new ad on another job site. I applied last week but haven't heard anything yet. I got error message when I submitted my application, but the site said not to worry about it. Anyway, just getting anxious. Thanks! ...

have heard it gets slow during the summer, particularly July-August, but this slow? I love it there, I really really do. I read, below, about people who said just get used to the slow down and I am trying, but I am not evening making minimum. It all seemed to happen after the computers were switched over or whatever it was mid-May with lots of work and now barely any. I need reassurance that it always is this slow and will pick up in the autumn. In the meanti ...

They have terminated some office/administrative people and now have eliminated weekend incentives and given pay CUTS to transcriptionists. Work is nearly non-existent. At the beginning of the summer they said it was a temporary slow down and would pick up shortly. Instead it seems to be getting worse. Anyone know anything?? I really really like this company and hate to see this happening. ...

Do they still even have any accounts, are they hiring, what's the current pay rate there, straight typing or VR? Any info is welcome. Thanks. ...

Someone asked about them and I am bringing it back up to the top. One person said it all now VR, another said they saw their only account in the "Nuance pool." I don't get it. First of all, what is a Nuance Pool? I work for them and although work has slowed down, if Nuance was now contracting, wouldn't the work be completely gone? Also as for all VR, it's about half and half. We are hoping the summer slow down will end soon and work will pick up ...

It appears that Gulf Coast has either severely cut the hours, or laid off most of their IC transcriptionists. I was laid off. This was a nice company to work for, and I would really feel bad for them, but they told us things that just weren't true since last summer when they started losing work. Plus they appeared to deny the rumors on this website back in September. Then we got a really nasty email from the main supervisor a couple months ago all about how they were ...

A friend was laid off recently from them, but then another friend advised me to apply and that work would pick up after the holidays. Any idea what's going on? ...

Could a current employee tell me what is happening with this company? Work dwindled to nothing and there was talk of acquiring new accounts, but I had to jump ship before that happened. This was a wonderful place to work and I am just wishing and dreaming. Have they picked up any new accounts and are they still in business? Thank you. ...

Have reviewed the information in the archives but was hoping to find someone that works for them currently or has recently worked for them. Any information at all would be greatly appreciated. ...

I keep getting server error, something about it not liking my sender address. Well, I've used 2 different addresses with different servers and both don't work. ...

Like or dislike, why? Any specifics about the company itself; accounts, platform, pay, etc, etc. Thanks much. ...

Fort Myers, FL. I know there is info in the archives, but I have not seen anything recently. I really need an honest answer in regard to pay scale and flexibility with scheduling. Any help appreciated!! TIA ...

How is the platform? What is the pay range? How flexible are the hours? TIA ...

work on the account that starts with a B and has 6 letters? Could you please email me your yahoo messenger ID so we can keep in touch in case I have questions as I have seen the efficiency in which "the team" gets back to me. I would very much appreciate it. Thanks. ...

when I started telecommuting full time.It finally penetrated my consciousness a couple of weeks ago that every year, when it came time to renew my auto insurance policy, I used to get a call from a local agent, and we'd go over the policy, making sure there were no changes. One of the questions was always how many miles did I drive to and from work each day, along with the current odometer reading, and the estimated number of miles driven each year.I haven't gotten one of those calls i ...

How many of the MTs here work on the weekends? ...

Anyone know how to write an appeal letter? I was denied by the judge, even though my doctor said I have wrist and hand tendinitis due to typing for 16 years. Wow, i'm devastated, not only am I hurting, but financially a wreck. Anyway, I am writing an appeal to the board and have no money to visit a lawyer, wondering what goes in an appeal letter. Any help greatly appreciated. TIA ...

So sorry for the rant, but I am so tired of companies wanting us all to cover third shift, but don't want to pay anything extra when we do and if they do it's something like a quarter of a penny, what in the world is that? I know I shouldn't complain, but this shift is HARD to work, especially when you have little ones. Just a little frustrated tonight, and I know there are people who have it worse than I do, but I don't have anywhere else to vent. Thanks ...

I want to go into this job with an open mind, but I just keep reading horror stories. So can anyone give me positives of working there? ...

I want to buy a brand new laptop to work on. But I don't want the software to slow down my computer or a bunch of intrusive, bloated software on a new computer. I'm not talking about while I'm working. While I'm working, I know things will be slow. I'm talking about when I'm not working. ...

I recently accepted a job with MQ. I will be working on Spheris accounts/platform. I have read many compliants about DQS, but have not found many comments regarding the Spheris platform. Spheris workers...are you fairly satisfied with your earnings? Does the VR system do a pretty good job? Do you think it is a mistake to have accepted this job? I hate to job hop and do not want to start a job if I don't stand a chance at earning a decent living. Also, does anybody know the ...

I've talked with several MTs recently who work for different companies. The companies have to send out reminders to the MTs that they are supposed to be at work at specific times. They also are having trouble with MTs just taking off without arranging for coverage of their accounts. The list goes on and on. What bothers me most though is the attitude of workers. Work was not easy years ago, but people did it with courage and integrity. You don't see much of that anymore. &nbs ...

BP will compensate gulf workers but - who will compensate MTs

Is this comparison for real? - J

People losing their livelihoods due to BP oil spill. MTs - losing theirs due to offshoring, (sm)
