Ability to dream
Haven't lost it yet but getting really close :)
Their lack of ability to think outside the box & actually
No company appreciates your ability to
makes lots of money by high production. What they do appreciate is knowing they have a high producer and moving that MT wherever they have the need. I thought I was the cat's meow being able to transcribe an average of 2000 quality lines per shift. Yeah, right. Three companies later and it is painfully clear that the only concern the companies have is what I can do for them. If I lose sleep, suffer financial loss, etc., it's my problem. And before you wonder, 2 of these including the current are highly-rated companies on this site. This is what the last 23 years of dedication to this profession has earned me. It is possible to be too good and too fast. The only lesson learned is use them as they use you.
You are stating $15 - I assume you are arriving at this figure because they quoted a reduction in line rate or something else specific? Do you have an IC contract? I can't advise what you should do, but I'll tell you what I'm about to do. I am so sick, broke and distressed over this treatment that I'm going to simply stop the loyalty and divide and conquer. I am going to use my speed to juggle multiple jobs (I have before). If the company goal is to get more for less, they will find they get less for less from me. I read a recent post where an MTSO was discussing how distressed he/she was because the quality of MTs was so poor overall. To that I say there are awesome MTs out here who really need consistent work and fair treatment and who will bend over backwards to do a great job for your company. Say what you mean, keep your promises, and stop treating us like pieces of meat to be graded on a production scale.
As for that wine, I'd like to toast you even though it's 10 a.m. EST - you are not alone!
Ability to survive - the BIG issue too is sm
the line rate, the line production requirement not JUST whether there is work at night, which shift etc. It is the LINE RATE OFFERED. Does not matter if you even have plenty of work on whatever shift if it pays pennies a line.
1000 lines a day, 125 lines an hour, say 4 cents that is $40 bucks a day,
5 cents a line $50 bucks a day ($6.25 an hour)
They are going to require much more, if not, get a letter, plus lose insurance.
They will want more like 2250 lines a day at 4 cents a line, at $90 a day x 5 days equal $450 a week ($900 per pay period)
THAT IS 281.25 LINES AN HOUR PEOPLE
I cannot image that on Beyond TXT platform (or any other). I'm WORTH much more.
Agree to point, but people need samples and also ability

Plus, they are always having technical
issues!! My PC goes down at least once a week and their word expansion program is the worst!!
And the ability to hold mandatory meetings and not say a darn thing! nm

I have never had a technical problem
with either the hardware or software thus far. I was out of work once for a few hours on my primary account, but was trained on one very similar to it until the primary was ready again. They have also apparently added two new accounts today. I am part-time (not management). However, I do acknowledge that not every place works for everyone, and no place is perfect. I had a one-month disaster at TRS last year after so many raved about them, 2004 AAMT employer of the year, etc. I'm happy with Amphion so far, but I fully support anyone's decision to leave a situation which isn't working for them.
Why isn't there a Technical Forum here? Could use one - nm

Technical Question
Does anyone know if it is possible to run the Bayscribe platform for MDI-MD on the same computer as a platform used for a Keystrokes account (do not know the platform name yet)? Was thinking about trying them both but didn't know if this was possible. Also, if the tech from one company installs the platform and sees a platform for another company on the same computer, is that ever a problem? Any info appreciated.
Technical question
This job was posted in the Job Seeker's Board...I can't seem to be able to reply to message and no contact information was provided. Anybody have suggestions. I apologize if this was not the place to post this question. See below:

We are looking for someone who is in the Charlotte, Concord, Lake Norman general vicinity (or relatively close) for a remote Transcriptionist position (after a reasonable training period).

Prefer candidates within commuting distance for training, etc. E-mail for details and information on applying. We need to fill this position as soon as possible.
Looking for more opinions on Voice SYstems in Georgia. Anyone know about ability to make a living
here etc. Have already been told disorganized but would like more info.
I believe the tax rate is the same for everyone in a certain class since you want to get technical a
You pay for your taxes at 100% if you are an IC but I dont think she was asking about taxes.
If you are single and have kids, then you usually pay no taxes or very little anyway unless you make over 30,000 a year.
Anybody else at Webmedx going nuts from technical hassles?
I know better than to post this on their internal message board, as anything that is not 100% happy gets deleted.
This is the 2nd week in a row of technical issues on the client's end vs issues on our end, with the MTs caught in the middle, having to twiddle their thumbs during their scheduled shift, then give up their scheduled days off and work like mad playing catchup. I guess I just want to vent and commiserate . Anybody else in my boat?
Technical issues with the platform were horrible
It was slow a few times, never completely out, but I could never make any lines because of the technical issues with the platform.
This belongs on Technical board; thread locked.

Transolutions pays for technical and no-work downtimes.

lots of good technical things, but they outsource overseas
and a lot of their managers are from the old Edix, which is not a good thing, if you want to be treated with respect.
if you do not mind how you are treated, you can do okay. hard getting lines consistently.
my opinion. maybe things have changed, but I have read a lot of negative on here lately.
Dictaphone EX Text users. I have a question I need help with on Technical Board.. Thanks

support/technical dept is great. i use mine so i think that is just a personal choice and don't

So SE lose their SE bonus, lose the ability to work as much or little as they want and just
basically lose all around with no gain that I can see. Well, good for MQ. I am sure a lot of people will be moving on.
