You don't any brain cells...
Go back in your cave and stop trashing a good company. After 4 yours, have had nothing but a great experience. Time for you to hit the pharmacy for you meds as you obviously need it.
OMG, Correction, brain fart, Axolotl doesn't run out and if they so you get paid. nm

Use your brain, please...
If you really believe you can make more money working directly for the client, then do that. Or, better yet, go out and find your own clients and see how much they are willing to pay for MT services.
My brain......
I have 17 years of acute care experience. I work at home for a large 350-bed hospital, along with doing clinic for KS. I also do maternal-fetal medicine for another company. I would put my brain up against yours any day. Sometimes having a change, such as clinic, helps to give the brain a rest when spending a day with ops and maternal-medicine reports (which by the way is not easy work). Don't judge me just because of an observation I have made. I have been where hospitals and companies don't assign work out in the hopes certain people will leave. My advice to you, if you don't like it, find something else instead of complaining about it on here.
It is Sunday, my brain's day off.

Maybe not only low work but low brain? LOL nm

Maybe you don't have the brain power...Or,
Ever consider those possibilities, hun?
Food for thought, anyway.
It's a Brain Drain all right!
I don't really care how much money corporations have invested in VR, ASR, whatever they want to call it, I'm voting with my feet. I'm getting re-educated in a different field and leaving transcription as soon as it is feasible. In the meantime, I am actively seeking IC work that is straight transcription.
JUST SAY NO TO VR!
Engage YOUR brain please...
It is most certainly a pay cut. I have worked on ChartMatrix and can tell you that this software is slower. I did not see any improvement whatsoever in the quality of the SR that I did on that software compared to what we are working with now. I would have to be able to consistently do more than 350 lph with the new software in order for it not to be a pay cut based on what I am making now with our current ISR. In the example she provided the MT was only doing about 280 or so LPH with the ISR, correct? I know it was NOT over 300...
that tells me some people don't know how to use their brain.

LOL tired brain too. That s/b More week nm
gone back to bed - but i understand about brain being off
Sunday is the only day I dont use punctuation, too.
oops..had a brain freeze.
MQ does provide equipment. not sure, however, if PT flex is provided with equipment or not.
Oh my...Ever get a word stuck in your brain...sm
that you know is wrong, but you use it anyway? That is what happened there. How embarrassing.
Its going offshore because so many brain-dead MTs
admittedly don't care if the company they work for offshores. I refuse to work for any company that offshores. I am an AMERICAN and until every American has adequate work, I say, keep our work here. We are being the authors of our own demise by our I have got mine kinds of selfish attitudes.
LOL, it has occured to me I had a brain fart!...
When the coordinator mentioned getting a copy of my license she probably was talking about my driver's license/ID. 
TRANSCEND - Sorry - too many trans on the brain

Anyone with half a brain knows why they lost the account.
I know why, but I don't understand why. It is like they did it on purpose. Why not just sell-out to start with, why let it get to the point that it did and have their name smeared everywhere (let me say justly so). I know there are still MTs who don't know all the details and I myself probably don't know all of them, but I know lots of details and they aren't pretty.
Big MT...we're sharing the same brain waves again
That's my definition of IC as well. I used to have that position with MQ, but with all of their changes I'm...well...looking elsewhere. I have no problems with promising a number of lines as long as I don't have to do them at a specific time. Things happen, especially when you have kids, but if you have the work ethic you'll still get things done, just not at a specific time. Agree with the pool as well. You'll never have a great line count unless you have consistent dictators. If anyone believes differently, I don't think they've seen how fab your line count can be with the same dictators. Anyway, it sounds like you work for a wonderful place with all the things I'm looking for, i.e., 24-hour TAT and consistent dictators. Would you mind sharing where and if they would by chance have openings you know of? You can email if you don't want to post it. Don't worry, I'm not thinking I'd start at that cpl--I'm sure you had to work up to that:-) I'm really just looking for the other perks.
Sorry for the typo/brain fluff-offense
nm
I can't figure out how to use the shorthand properly (brain dead I guess) (sm)
Maybe I haven't taken enough time to learn it (I can be a bit impatient with myself), but I seem to have a mental block and have about given up. I used to have Smartype with my old system (before DQS) and wonder if it worked with Vianeta. Anyway, anyone out here, what do you use other than the ShortHand that comes with it?
Oops,meant making "more" (brain lapse)

ps: Please excuse typos! "Hands-working-faster-than-brain syndrome!" haha (nm)

Doesn't apply if your OSI account doesn't use Ichart.
It is the Ichart only for OSi where you are cheated.
TT doesn't pay for spaces or ExText doesn't

That doesn't fly - KS doesn't offshore

He doesn't trust VR, or doesn't trust his MT to train it correctly?
Or perhaps his MT(s) has/have been filling his head with horror stories about VR and how it is a lawsuit waiting to happen?
Personally, I don't see any reason an M.D. would not trust a VR program, unless he's seen the products of a report edited by a less than competent MT who didn't do their editing job appropriately.
okay, that doesn't really help. I really need to know
the major city that is near you, how far away it is, and also put the next major city to you. For instance, if you live in kissmee, florida, you would put Orlando about 30 minutes away and Tampa about 45 minutes to one hour away.
TH doesn't. nm

It doesn't mean anything now though.
I don't care if I got anything, but if it didn't come until all the posts about not getting even a card, it just doesn't mean anything.
for CMT...CMT really doesn't mean....sm
a heck of a lot, as I know plenty of CMTs who make errors (just like any MT who sometimes does), errors like typing Port-A-Cath as Porta-Cath. For decades, *CMT* yielded NOTHING extra $$-wise. Today that is changing a tad.
It doesn't get better than this! NM

And if you think she doesn't already know, I

It doesn't seem so to me. SM
I was told that my account would be 50-60% ESL, but I don't find them too difficult. As well, there are lots of normals to look back on for help if needed.
It doesn't take me any
extra time. I just write down the job numbers while they are downloading. If I was having to actually take time out of work, I don't know that I would do it!
It may well be, but it sure doesn't sit well.
Doesn't matter to me either way, I'm not staying.
MQ doesn't either.

Maybe she doesn't have the exp in ...sm
the area they are advertising on the job boards. Maybe she doesn't have the years of exp they want. There could be many reasons why she hasn't obtained another job. Maybe she wanted to give this one a fair chance. Who knows?
doesn't have anything to do with that..
how many companies state a minimum and overhire so you end up not making your lines? It does not mean Synernet does not do the same thing. Have you worked for them? Do you know this for sure?
This doesn't add up...
I read the article. It states, We have 1,000 domestic transcribers and 600 in India. Now, why do they need 600 transcriptionists in India if only 15% of the work is being sent to India? So, it takes 600 Indian MTs to complete 15% of Transcend's work and 1,000 American MTs to complete 85%. Either the Indian MTs are very, very slow (and how is that cost effective and how does that affect turnaround time and quality) or they are sending more than 15% of the work to India. Take your pick  .
That says a lot about you then, doesn't it.
Why on earth would you find entertainment in MTs taking a pay cut to do VR and being low on work, etc. Sigh.
From the looks of that ad, it doesn't appear that
N/M
I believe and to anyone who doesn't sm
she tells the truth here. It's so sad that they are doing this to us. Those who stay will probably be people who are the 2nd income in the home, not the main breadwinner.
You mean she doesn't post her name (nm)

That doesn't mean it was sold...
there are many reasons why the accounts/offices are going through closure/moving.
If contracts are not renewed, then not only will the account be finished but if that is a significant percentage of work for that office MQ may choose to merge that office with another for cost savings.
All I know to believe is what they have told me.
Well that doesn't say much about the company
You've been there 4 months and have 5 accounts already????? That tells people that they run out of work consistently otherwise you would be working on 1 account and have a backup, maybe 2. I've been there years and didn't even get my secondary account for almost 6 months because the work was so heavy on my primary account. Things have changed. The turnaround is so great they have to continually overhire. The only thing I have to say is think about why you were hired at 10 cpl. You're training the VR that is going to be cutting that 10 cpl to 5.5 cpl. If you're happy earning 5.5 cpl doing FULL editing that's great. Maybe you weren't there when the CEO was saying that the people who do really well on editing are not high producers in typing and vice versa. Those who have a hard time doubling their lines in editing are the ones producing 350-400 lines an hour in typing. There's no way they can make 700 lines per hour doing FULL editing. So if you're doing great in editing, you're not that great in typing...you're average. If you're a high producer in typing, let's see how happy you'll be when making 5.5 cpl for producing the same amount of work.
This company doesn't try either
They have not responded to their employees directly ... instead they put their comments anonymously on this board.
Best pay, doesn't always mean the best company. sm
You could make $0.18 cpl doing ESLs all day long and run out of work. That being said, how much would you make really if you can't do ESLs or there is no work available.
Everyone is looking for something different in a company. My suggestion is to write down what it is you are looking for, line rate, steady work flow, schedule, pay periods, etc and seek it out.
Good luck to you.
Stop saying that just because someone doesn't
share your opinion they must not get the reports you do, must not get the dicators you do, must not be an MT, must not...must not...must not.
Some have a different aptitude for this work. Others have a different OUTLOOK on the work and on life.
You're not the only MT there. You're not the only one with your outlook. Just because someone works at MQ, however, does NOT mean that they MUST feel like you, get the same work you do, etc. I get difficult dictators and reports a LOT but I don't complain about it. It's part of the job.
I really hope you can find something you are comfortable and satisfied with. I wish you all the luck. Please work ardently at doing so.
Doesn't matter
They won't have the work anyway! They just want to keep EVERYBODY on standby constantly.
She doesn't. That is the beauty of it!
She is sick in the head and likes to pretend that she knows everything. That's what everyone on this board does.
