former Transcend MTs--don't miss the exec salaries posts below

Just thought I'd let you know that I received an email from Sue telling me that people are telling her to come to this site to see what people are saying. She said that she values the MTs, even though they fall short (her words), and that she would like to discuss this with me. Well, I'm not going to discuss anything with her as then my identity will be know, which will probably get me fired. I just thought I'd let everyone from Transcend know they are watching, ...

I was looking at the job postings at the local hospital and noticed something very odd. The hospital here is hiring kitchen aides with no experience or education and the pay offered is $700 a month more than what they are offering for their MT positions. Kitchen helpers are starting at $2769/month while MTs are starting at $2069. Something is wrong with that picture. I was thinking of applying as an MT, but now thinking maybe I should just apply as a kitchen aide. I ...

I found out today that a local community pays teenagers $11 an hours for temporary summer jobs. Are you making $11 an hour? Does an MT with 20 years experience deserve more than a teenager with a summer job? I still work for MQ because it's just a few hours a week to supplement SS. If I were younger, I would do anything and everything I could to get the heck out of here. ...

Just curious but how much money do the CCMs make? I've never been able to find an answer to this question. Also, do you have to have a certain number of years transcription experience to be a CCM? I'm not interested in the position, just curious. I've also never understood why sometimes communcation with them is bad. Why do they go for days without sending out emails to the MTs sometimes? ...

Husband just called, was listening to Dave Ramsey - A man called the show and stated his wife's income had decreased by $900/month. Ramsey was astounded and asked why? Man explained that his wife was a medical transcriptionist. It's now been on national radio, not a secret anymore. ...

I say "sorry" in advance if this has been posted before, but I am new to the Coding forum. I plan to get out of MT and go into Coding. I have decided on The Andrews School. I have a contact who is the CEO of a remote coding business, and she highly recommended this school. When just quickly talking about salary, she said coders make between 50K to 60K, which would be wonderful. What I am wondering is ..... are coders paid by production or hourly. Thanks for any i ...

I have been an MT for over 25 years - In 1982, I was making 10 cents a line. In 2011, I am making 10 cents a line, which doesn't even include Capital Letters! I have read many posting on this site complaining about lack of income....and what I've realized is WE have sold out our profession by being willing to not demand higher salaries; yes, we have competition from outsourcing companies around the world who are willing to work for peanuts, but with all the new HIPPA rules, etc., this ...

wage and at the same time that insurance costs & deductibles are rising, more and more MTs are now working only for some semblance of (overpriced) insurance ... There is virtually nothing left that can be called "salary". ...

You can check out salaries of the CEO, COO, and CFO of publically traded companies at the securities and exchange commission website. It will open your eyes and now that we are all working for what we did in the 80's, you will find we have more in common with the unwashed masses of the OWS movement than we thought. ...

Poor Mr. Davenport only earned a little over 3 million. So sad. I guess my giving up eating was worth it. http://www1.salary.com/MMODAL-INC-Executive-Salaries.html ...

I know and accept the fact (albeit grudgingly) that ASR and offshoring are the wave of the future, but do you think that as the economy improves that things will cycle and what we do will once again become valued with the recognition of our value being reflected in higher salaries? Or do you think that the unhappy reality is that regardless of the economy salaries will either remain stagnant or continue to trend downward? Thanks in advance for your input. ...

I think that is what they were called. The person who assisted our sup. Anyway, I really like my sup. But I never hear back from her when I email, I make edits in Teamwork and it still hasn't been done. I requested time off in Feb and it is still in request status. I have no hours listed for when I am supposed to work. I miss having someone who sends out a backlog and responds to my emails within a day, sooner most of the time. I feel like I am swinging out o ...

I work full-time in a clerical position. I don't really enjoy it but I make a decent living. I thought I would love typing for a living so I took the MT training from one of the best schools (expensive and labor intensive, as you all know), and got a p/t weekend job working for a MTSO. I quickly became jaded for the many reasons already discussed on this forum. I wasn't even making a babysitter's wage. I knew there was no way I could afford to quit my ...

I've never understood what dep was. I started with this company 3 years ago (then Medquest), and was told to put dep after my ID number to access something which I never understood. It always rejected my login under dep, and I was embarrassed at that time to contact Support, so I just never used it, whatever its purpose was. So, now that we apparently can't access it, I don't miss it. ...

I totally miss getting a huge snowstorm (like today in my area, 10 to 14 inches) and being able to call in to work to say "I can't make it in today... the roads are horrible" I am trying hard to concentrate on work today, but all I want to do is call in to work, go outside and build a huge snowman, then shovel a little, and come in and make a huge mug of hot chocolate and watch it snow. LET IT SNOW!!!! ...

ASR says: He was seen in "twelfth" 2011. Anyone care to guess what "twelfth" means? ...

No other company currently compares. Where did you all end up? Did you stick with Nuance or find greener pastures? ...

are they paying us extra to clean up this mess? ...

in this website? Sometimes I was able to search for something and find an answer in old threads and not have to post the question and wait. ...

Did we get an email about them matching now? I didn't get one and I've seen some posts on here about it. If so, can someone tell me the date they got the email? Thanks ...

Quality, Turnaround, and Price ... pick two!!! ...

She is General Counsel, SR VP & Secretary. ...

Miss the old days when there were bonuses! 16 years ago old boss who had her own Transcription company hired someone to delivery Christmas tray with Santa in middle,surrounded by Christmas candy, with a bonus check for $50 on the tray. Those days are LOOOONNNNNNG GONE. Let's put our Pollyanna glasses on for a minute and pretend our 37 million dollar CEO is going to give up one of his millions and divide it amongst us. Miracles happen, right? ...

I have my first job ever with VR and absolutely hate it; I hardly make any money at it; get tired of constantly changing he to she, adding commas where the machine left them out; I feel like my talent of being a fast typist is being wasted. I might type 2-3 reports a night and of course they are always the shortest reports of the night! I am so glad I was in transcription at its heyday but those days are long gone as is my love and enthusiasm for this career that I have dedicated 38 years ...

Merry Christmas to all! :) ...

I miss the lively atmosphere of a transcription room filled with other transcriptionists, with doctors strolling in and out, joking, grabbing from the tray of homemade goodies someone had brought in to share. I miss the laughing and sharing of stories or the mutual griping about the doctors' dictations. I miss the holiday pot luck dinners and decorations and bonuses. I miss the formal dictating style that doctors used to go by. I miss having a job that was in demand ...

former Transcend MTs--don't miss the exec salaries posts below - anon

My TL told me yesterday we will be moving everything - to a new platform soon. I

what platform are you on now? - (nm)

I am on BeyondText. - Soon-to-be Ex-Transcend

Oh yea. The joy of getting a new platform up and running, to say - nothing of training it from ground up. nm

Yep. At least we now know the basis of Sue's excitement - about this merge. Shame on you Ms M.

Add to this many incapable people were placed in key - positions as part of reorganization.
