MT companies -
Posted By: is it just me
I have been looking for another company to work for at home now for close to a year. are they all just a dime a dozen? I'm not expecting a lot, just a good days's pay for decent work. nothing really interests me and after reading some posts I get really leary about them. I truly believe there is nothing out there close to what I once had. I think my best bet is to try to attain clients on my own. Wish me luck!
Does experience make a good MT? -
Posted By: DoubtingThomas
I am so confused right now. I am a newbie trying to get a foot in the door. I finally was accepted in a mentor program for a national. In the mentor program you must reach 516 with 98% accuracy before you are allowed to become full time. I am unable to make the line count because there is never enough work. I am happy for this opportunity, but I feel because there is never enough work, I will never make the line count. I have been offered a full time position to do operative reports and discharge summaries. I am doubting my abilities and do not know if I can do the operative notes. Should I go for the full time position or do I need experience before I am a good MT? How do you know you are good enough to take on a job doing operative notes. I want to go for it because the mentor program never have enough work to meet my goals, but what if I am not good enough yet? helpful advise is appreciated. Thanks
Being paid by the word versus line -
Posted By: TXMT
I just got offered a job making $5.00 per 1,000 words. I have never been paid by the word. I hear I am getting ripped off bit time. Can somebody explain to me what the difference is getting paid by the word versus getting paid by the line? I am a new MT and want to make sure I am getting paid correctly. Thanks!
companies allowing hughes.net -
Posted By: MTboo-hoo
I am losing my job in a few months due to hospital closing. I work from home in rural area for a metro hospital who sent all MTs home to work a few years ago. I have hughes.net which didn't work with their system, their VPN, etc., so they finally agreed to run an ISDN line to my home. I'm sure I'll be cut off from that line when the hospital closes unless I could somehow rent/buy it myself. I have 12+ years experience as MT. If anyone knows of any companies that work via hughes.net, I'd sincerely appreciate the info. TIA!
Question to any Transtech MTs on the oncology account... -
Posted By: passing through
I was wondering if the oncology account out of Texas was staying in work of if it was in a slump. I used to work on it and was looking at going back, if they are needing help, but was not sure if it was keeping work or not. I sure do miss it. You can email me privately. Thanks. 
MTs/QAs/Editors -
Posted By: Survey
What do you look for in a company that would set it apart from all others out there that would make you choose to go with that employer. We all know there are many of these positions out there but they all seem to be about the same, very little regard for skills and appropriate compensation and very little caring about the MTs that work so hard. I see a lot of people complaining here about one company or another, but I want to know what is the main thing you would like to see changed about this industry. What would make things better? Is it the money, problems with management, job requirements, etc.... Your input is very important. Thanks- You may answer here or by email.

I have an in-house interview tomorrow - anyone heard of or worked for this company? I have been an in-house Transcriptionist making an hourly wage - so this work at home thing is new to me - I don't know anything about what I should accept if I get offered the job - can anyone school me? ha ha I don't want to get screwed, but I don't know what the average is for pay, lines per day/week, etc. It's like a foreign language. Also I don't want to take the job to work at home and spend a lot of time doing it and make no money.

Thank you.

How is the platform, the expander, are they flexible, easy to get the 1100 lines in an 8 hour day, etc.? Any help either here or to my email would be GREAT!

Have picked up a PT job on the side. Hoping all works well with WMX, but (sm) -
Posted By: Nother WMXer
not going to disappoint the grandchildren at Xmas and birthday times.
The only problem with picking up a PT job is you lose flexibility in making up hours/lines with WMX because you are otherwise obligated. Oh well, I don't think that can be considered my fault. I just don't want to use up my PTO because of it. Will they just let you take unpaid time if they run out of work during your window or do they make you use PTO or make it up?
Nationals -
Posted By: EmmaMT
A lot of people mention how they won't work for nationals and the smaller companies are so much better in their pay and treatment of employees - can anybody name some examples of smaller companies who are better? There are so many out there, a few examples would help. Thanks.

Can I manage this delicately? -
Posted By: Lost cause?
I am an hourly QA at a company and because I am a high producer with a lot of bang for the buck I am given very little leeway for time off. I generally don't pay attention to what other people do and mind my own business. The problem is that a couple of my coworkers will send me IMs saying they are taking breaks, aren't feeling well and are leaving for an hour or two, their internet service is about to go out because of weather, pretend to lose internet connection if a stat comes in from an account they don't like, and on and on (yet they remain on private IMs). They do not notify our supervisor and I am left holding the bag. Our supervisor has no idea this is going on. Is there any possible way that I can do something about this other than finding another job? I am not a snoop and don't throw people under the bus, but this is so unfair.

Need help with Webmedx's time clock. I am contemplating a position sm -
Posted By: Lynn
with them and right now I have to clock in and out and hate it. I wonder if I'm jumping right back into the same situation as I was told they, too, have a time clock. After being an IC for so many years, I really hate this.
So, how is it? Do you find that Webmex is a little flexible at least? I just don't know if I should keep looking or what. Thanks so much for anyone with experience with their time clocks!

What is the average or going rate for MTs these days? -
Posted By: Bit sad.
I've gotten a couple of offers for jobs. The pay seems aweful low for someone with 3 years experience. Yes, I know that is a lot less than some but I'm certainly no new graduate. I've gotten offers for IC positions starting at 5 and 6 cpl for 65 character lines. Today I got another for an IC position that pays 6.5 cpl for 65 character line without spaces.
I may have to take one of these lower paying jobs until I can find better because my family needs the income. Hopefully there is better out there... geeze. Please, is this the 'going' rate for us now. :(

I see posts from MQ employees of not having enough work, MDI, WMX, Transcend and others.
It can't all be going to India. Maybe the people with plenty of work are working instead of posting, but I sure wish they would give us a head's up.
