Hello??!! I'm the original poster! I think I can respond to the poster who replied to my original
nm
2000 lines/day
How long does it take you? That's amazing!! By the time I get my 1000 lines done, I'm ready to quit for the day!
7.5/ln if do 2000 lines a DAY, OH PLZ
20,000 per pay period
10,000 per week
2000 X5 days = 2000 per day
for a whole 7.5 cents a line. They otta be emailed by all MTs and say HAIL NO, unless and until you agree to work for $1.50 an hour yourself. If nobody speaks up, wellllll
Not the original poster, but can I ask if you went
back to MTing from QA? I absolutely hate QA - I HATE IT. I feel like I am just a garbage collector of sorts. I miss transcribing so much. That was my gift. But everytime I mention going back to MTing, my acquaintances tell me I'll hate it and am moving backward. In a way, its easier physically, but I ACHE all the time as well. I never ever noticed that transcribing. I flitted in and out and made great $$. Now I just sit here for hour upon hour and its killing me, physically and spiritually! I would so appreciate any encouraging words from someone who truly understands!

Even if the original poster
does not feel that she owes the company the benefit of a two week notice, do you think it is fair to the rest of the MTs that work there that we will have to pick up her slack when she all of a sudden doesn't show up? Usually when someone is rude enough to quit without notice, it's not their bosses they are hurting, but their fellow coworkers.

I must say I am very surprised by your post, and have to say Thank you !
If you have always had work at a good rate you are indeed very lucky, and I am glad for you. It just is not the case with everyone, and especially those just starting out and in a very poor economic situation. A few kind words and a little encouragement from others is sometimes all a person needs to pick up and keep trying.
As I said in a previous post, I KNOW I have much to learn, but I also know I have come a very long way and work hard to improve each day.
Questions from a newbie may very well seem silly to someone who has many years of experience, but that doesn't mean you cannot answer in a kind and encouraging manner, you know?
This should be a place where we all can come for info., support, encouragement :)
Deb, I am the original poster, and I want to
explain that I have never said people working weekends are putting work before family or God, nor have I told anyone to get a life. This has gotten really out of hand, and people are getting lost as to who is posting what, but I am the original poster, and I have not once on this board bashed anyone. Just not my style. I asked a simple question about working weekends, never accused, never looked down my nose as I have been accused of. I am sorry if you think I have offended you anyway, but apparently I have offended some, but they are misinterpreting me as some on here would agree, the people that actually saw my post for what it was worth, not reading into something that was not really there.
Who wants 2000 lines a day? That's outrageous! nm
m
How long does it take you to do 2000 lines nm
nm
at 80+ reports, you are doing about 2000 lines
nm
But are your 2000 lines per day ACCURATE?
If you expect to work at TT and shoot off 2000 lines per day that have a lot of errors you have just moved to the wrong company. You will be admonished about that. And you should be. Flying fingers don't cut it at TT unless the work is accurate. If you have a lot of Expanders and produce a lot of quality work you will be an asset. I have never made 2000 lines a day at TT but my work is accurate and they are a great company.
I am the original poster to this thread, and this was one of my SM
questions. What does it really mean to our jobs? Will they just work alongside of us on the accounts? Granted, I don't like it -- that is for sure -- but right now, I do still have work and plenty of it. Just wondering what is down the road. Someone mentioned the hospital that has all the Middle Eastern docs on it -- maybe the offshore MTs are doing that one?? I have all kinds of things in my head, and all of them are speculation. Really, maybe we don't need to know as much as we do. One thing is for sure, the info was leaked out when it was not supposed to be, but I do believe it and how it was said it happened because I have been told things before like that in the past, only not nearly this big lol.
The original poster had it as if the industry has
a blackball list. Speaking as a recruiter, I can tell you that we do not. There are people who might not be good for one company that might fit well into another so this kind of thing as I see it does not exist and if it does, I know my company does not participate nor does anyone I know who recruits.
If it exists, it only exists privately then, certainly not an industry thing.
not talking about the original poster
/
Original poster. I disagree with you.
We were told not to contact the original MDI team. I go through my 'team leaders(?)' who do not respond to e-mails. I run out of work frequently. I ask for work and get no answers. I do not like this new platform, but guess I'm stuck with it. The tech support is getting a little better, but still not what it used to be, even when it was not available all night.
As I said, I have been there forever. I work my shift, I work extra, but I do not get the letters of appreciation. The offer of an incentive is rare especially with no work available most of the time.
Maybe my best solution is another company and hopefully it will be great. My misery is that I have no work and no one addressing my problems, communicating with me, etc. I do not consider an e-mail to the entire staff every day with most of the accounts out of work something to look forward to.
interesting... (not original poster)
How you seem to make the time to respond almost everytime there is something negative about Cardioscribes when you should be tending to your employees/applicants. Yes, I am speaking now. I was 1 of those who questioned others if they heard from Cardioscribes after applying. You posted saying I can email my resume directly to you, which I did. Then you said you had to leave the office for a couple of days (couple=2) and you would get back to me. I emailed you back 1 week later and no response (8 months ago).
You expect the original poster to communicate and give advanced notice of quitting?
And no, I will NOT apologize for my unprofessionalism either. Guess why?
Original poster on this thread
What I was also trying to emphasize, is the fact that there is no grasp AT ALL of the English language, whether it be spelling or punctuation. Granted, I may not be perfect here but I am probably posting after a 12-15 hour day of working and not sitting on this boarding complaining and moaning.
A LOT of the the reason this profession has gone down the tubes is because some of the language that I see used here which, are terms that are used when sending a text message via a cell phone -- examples U= you, luv = love -- so on and so forth. This is a society who has become TOTALLY LAZY when it comes to the comand of the English language and spelling in general -- again, I have been in QA and I am not going to DING someone for a comma versus a semicolon, but it is blantant spelling errors that get to me. I blame this in large to the fact that when I learned to spell, I learned by phonics or is that fonics I watch television, read newspapers and see even the media making MAJOR grammatical errors and if you think I'm bad, you don't want to cross the line with my S/O -- he has written to various newspapers et cetra, commenting on the use of an apostrophe or semicolon. Bottom line, I got into this profession starting out working IN house, but I was extremely well read and had college level English skills in grade school, and learned at an early age how to use a library, resources et cetra which I found now in today's society are SADLY lacking.
I agree with the original poster. sm
I too have had my time in MT hell just this past week. BUT, it hasn't changed the way I feel about the profession. It is about the patients and to me will ALWAYS be about the patients. I am not going to make quality suffer or anything else in lieu of a paycheck. I may not like it and if I don't I will find something else. I see and hear of too many MTs who don't give a rip about quality etc and only quantity, lph etc and forget their are patients behind all this.
I don't like the changes anymore than anybody else. As badly as I have been treated, like many others and as mad as I am about it, I don't think all MTSOs treat us as faceless nobodies! We do only have each other to talk to and the negative comments are warranted but they have to be taken as they are ment to be taken and that is just blowing off steam.
A professional MT is not going to let any of this get in the way of quality. If I find I have to let quality go out the window just to make more money, then I will get out of this all together. There are many MTs who feel just like myself and the OP.
2000 lines per day, what kind of work are you doing? nm
xx
again, realistically, most people are not doing 2000 lines a day
nm
3 cents per line up to 2000 lines per day
and then an incentive but still diddly for QA pay
To the MT wanting to know if 2000 lines a day at TT is doable sm
I am beginning to think it is really doable. I have 5000 lines for my week, 3 days in this week and I don't have the latest out of iChart either. Yes, it is doable. I have been there...oh 3 weeks and 3 days and I can do this already.
Yup, it is doable.
How long did it take you to build up to 2000 lines a day?
x
Forgot to include 2000 lines a day sm
On the first posting, it posted half way down the page (don't know why) so scroll downward for the figures. It looks like there is no message (there is though)
Anyway, don't accept something like this, no matter what from this CHRISTIAN company as they put it. This is clearly taking advantage of very very very skilled technicians. Just makes me so darn mad to see stuff like this.
Im not the original poster, but I miss being able to see the last msg written SM
like when it was displayed on top. That way if someone had a question on a word or a question in a report it would be viewed by more people. Like me right now stuck on a word. LOL>
Gee, ya think that's maybe why the original poster asked about SCHOOLS??
Amazing! Obviously brains are not too much of a requirement...Ya just had to get that dig in about how hard it is due to medical "language", yadda, yadda. Give it a break and say something we or the original poster DIDN'T know!
can you help me understand if you are the original poster of this thread?
obvious contradictions so you have left me very confused if you are or are not the original poster.
that's not what the original poster wanted to do - at least not how I read it
//
No..it's not the original ad. The poster was just reposting so she could ask who the company was.
I wasn't responding to the original poster.
I was responding to the poster above who said women were being exploited.
I average 1800-2000 lines a day on BeyondTXT.
nm
Big difference between 2000 and 3000 lines per shift.
nm
MQ. PTflex...2000 lines/week and 401K.
NM
The only post I see that is idiotic is yours. You just admitted you did 2000 lines sm
straight typing, 3000 lines at VR for HALF pay. So you lose. If you were to break even then, you'd have to do at least 4000 lines on VR. I don't honestly remember what you said you made, but most companies pay half for VR.
Before attacking, perhaps you should learn the fine art of reading and comprehension.
Ultimately, though, you're happy, so more power to you. I'm happy too, so I guess it is a good Friday for both of us. I will not respond to any more of your posts, but I do resent name calling and labeling by someone who obviously has a lot to learn himself/herself.
I live in the Philadelphia suburbs. The original poster sm
is probably from Virginia or there abouts. Mild winters are usually in the Virginia area as I get lots of snow and cold where I am.
The ocean is 1 hour away, the mountains 2 hours away, and everything is at our doorstep.
Good luck trying to find out exactly.
I meant for this to show as a reply to the original poster!

OP = original poster. The person who started the thread. nm
xxx
did anyone get a response from the original poster? this post is just fishy, especially since they
nm
2000 lines, I havent done that in years. What work type do you do? nm
xxxx
I had posted that question right up under the original poster and prior to her post being answeredsm
Looks are deceiving and I AM paying attention.
also, the original poster asked how to stay production with small children...
not whether or not MTs are being exploited...
To the poster below making 950-1000 per week, SM
I was wondering if you would share where you work, as I see you do 75% OP notes which are my favorite, but I never seem to get them, I do most HP and consults which I cannot make that kind of money on. I love OP notes. Thanks.
I'm original poster and a high level 4 as well with high ESL accts, which I've always had...sm
My accts (10+) for the previous 12 years were all in the LA area. I consider ESL at Webmedx easy, even though my WebmedX accts are supposed to be high ESL. ALL of my STMs accounts are low on work--quite low. I've added more accounts. Not helpful if all are low in work. My supervisor at MQ was more helpful than my Webmedx STM.
If you are making those lines with....
MQ consider yourself lucky!! I was never, ever to make that kind of a line count with them, even though going in I made that kind of a line count. I haven't worked for any of those other companies, but I make way more money now that I have left them and have been working for a hospital being paid by the minute rather than the line.
Where do you work making all those lines?
nm
1800 lines a day is not much when making
That is exactly why I left Transcend. They try to make it look like people can make double what they did straight typing, but it's a crock. Lots of new people were hired at 10 cpl, but you don't earn 10 cpl for editing on BeyondTxt. Calculate what your earnings would be with the rate reduction at 2000 lines per day, which when I left was 55% of normal line rate with no incentive, and calculate what your earnings would be at 1700+ lines a day at 0.085 cpl, but don't forget the incentive rate, which at 1701 lines would have been 0.0075 cpl. Which way is actually making more money?
I've heard that the current rate for editing is 60%, maybe it's gone up. I don't know, but even at 70% a person making 1700 lpd straight typing would have to produce 2210 lpd editing just to break even, and it still wouldn't even be breaking even because the person is still losing the incentive bonus. Transcend's pay restructure benefits Transcend because they no longer have to pay as many people the higher wages they did with straight typing. It still amazes me that so many can't see that. Even if the BT program was the best thing since sliced bread, which it is NOT because there are so many problems with it, there is no way to make more money with editing unless the person is a low to mediocre producer. If you normally produce anything more than 1200+ lpd, Transcend really isn't the company to make money with because there are so many other companies out there that pay much higher. It all depends on what you're looking for.
making those hours/lines
I agree. It's a good company but a struggle to get in hours and make lines. It's has been like that for a while.
Transcend and making lines
Anybody else having to work all day to get a decent line count? I work on escription and have worked on escription before without issue. I can't figure out what the problem is???
I didn't say she was rude for making more lines
I said she was rude for implying that somehow it was the fault of those who have low volumes and that they should get a life, and I didn't bring up the email because I thought it was inconsiderate. I brought it up because it shows that the company isn't going to acknowledge something that isn't a problem. Besides, if you work there, you know for a fact that a lot of people are posting there about not having work. Are you calling all the people that posted there liars? Why would you come here and act like it's not happening at all? A lot of people that are working other shifts and sit all day long fishing for jobs only to end up using their PTO just to bring in what they're used to. Telling someone to get a life because they have it better than someone else is just plain rude.
