Are you the mighty fast one who works for .07 cpl?

It's great that you manage to earn $20/hr on 7cpl. Just think of what you could earn in an hour at a company that paid you a decent line rate...

Great incentive plan, but based on speed/lph not total lines produced. Works if you are fast.

Yes, it's all come down to the mighty TAT.
You know, their TAT data might look better if they'd fix their TAT time clocks! I timed mine on several occasions, and it's about 50 percent too fast.
For example, if you start a report that has 40 minutes on it, and you type for 20 min., you'll be out of TAT.
So why worry? It's wrong from the get-go.
What I said above was not high and mighty.
Maybe this is why you feel I'm high and mighty because you sound very childish or not educated. I did not post the above to be demoralizing; I was referring to any MT thinking work is their property when it is not. If you work for a company whether it be employee or IC, you are doing their work not your work. 
P/S: I'll ask my 14 year old son what does my bad mean? Maybe he can explain it to me because I am wondering if that is childish slang..
That should improve the high and mighty..sm
condescending attitude of US QA's. Some of them, you can't do anything right...one way today, contradicting themselves tomorrow. But then we have to remember the QAs are PAID TO FIND FAULT.
A little QA feedback for Ms high-and-mighty
You should take it a step further than simply pointing out the missing hyphen.
1. The first sentence is a hypothetical/counterfactual statement. It is missing its subjunctive verb, i.e. I will bet, I would bet, I'd bet, I'll bet.
2. The introductory phrase believe me requires a comma after it.
That same sentence is a bit of a run-on, so there are a number of corrections that could be made, short of making more than one sentence out of it (a more preferable approach to cleaning it up). Here are a few helpful suggestions to recast the monstrosity Believe me, I have been in this business for over 20 years, and I get these emails and resumes from girls who want more money, and they have all this experience but, when they are given the editing test, they cannot even pass. Commas have been added after me, years, money, but and test. Thay has been corrected to they. Let's not even try to talk about the lack of consistency in verb agreement within the same run-on.
3. Even with its corrections, it still sucks. An alternative suggestion would be as follows: Believe me, I have been in this business for over 20 years. I have gotten (keeping the verb agreement consistent) these emails and resumes from applicants (not the more condescending, master/slave girls reference) who want more money, and who say they have all this experience (eliminating the more awkward original transition). When they are given the editing test, they cannot even pass.
4. Next, we have another speculative statement which, again, is missing its required subjunctive verb, i.e., I would guarantee, I will guarantee, I'd guarantee, I'll guarantee.
5. …you would not pass my editing test, either. The missing comma appears where it belongs.
6. I was taught that we do not begin sentences with the word and. If she insists, then it would be: And, by the way, after a 30-day trial period, I do pay more. The 3 missing commas in that sentences now appear. Better still, start the sentence with By the way, ….
What I would do is send her the above QA feedback and state the obvious…that she failed to meet the minimum 98% accuracy rate and that she needs to go edit herself.
Um - Ms. high 'n mighty -- what happened to
I decided to stay put and look for a better job while still working. I've been looking for 2 years. No point in going with another at-home job for a national - just more of the same. If I'm going to fork out $400 a month for COBRA insurance while I change jobs, I want that change to be for the BETTER. Actually, I'm hoping to get out of at-home slavery, and back to an on-site job. In some parts of the country those still exist, but in my area they're almost nonexistent.
These people were LIED TO, by a company that up until the point that they were selling out, had apparently been quite honest and above-board with all their MTs. So no wonder they opted to believe what they were told and wait it out.
Don't sit in judgement of anybody until you've walked a mile or two in their shoes.
Which could happen, you know. Your company may be next.
I'm feeling mighty depressed sitting here waiting on
.
The platform is Word. Their program works with Word but does not change how Word works. nm
The benefits just changed the first part of this month. I don't have them but I remember them being reasonabl for a single person. Family and spouse was not reasonable in any way (in my opinion).
Run as fast as you can,
I'm supprised she is still using the same name, she's been known to change names in the past.
RUN as fast as you can the other way
the person you mentioned is the biggest phony, lazy, bs artist, hard work, low pay
RUN I TELL YOU
abusive once you are there a while
Run as fast as you can....
I used to work for them though not on the radiology account. I knew two girls that did work on the radiology account and they hated it, but she had no one else to work. So they had to work horrible hours and the CEO was constantly pestering them to work more (they both have since left). Their line counting program counts short too. I had to work 12 hour days when i did work there just to make any money. They play favorites with the MTs, the office staff treats you like crap when you do need something, you will never make more than what you are hired in at and the list goes on.
RUN AWAY FAST!
This is probably one of the worst MT companies out there. I made the huge mistake of working for them just over a year ago and ended up quitting after only a month. You won't be dealing with anyone except people in India. You can't understand a word they say and they constantly will harass you through Yahoo IM asking when you are going to work and why you are not working, but when you needed to IM them for tech support, they would take forever to answer, if they even answered at all. My experience was that they are very, very rude to their MTs and all of their QA and account managers are in India. I was scoring at least 98% on all of my QAs, but they kept telling me that I needed to improve. There are much, much better companies to chose from. I would stay far, far away from this one. I ran and never looked back.
run away fast
run far far away from SoftScript as fast as you possibly can! Its true you can't believe everything you read here, but trust me when i say everything said about them is the truth!
RUN FAST!!!! sm
Late payer...and will lie and say she sent the money and didn't. You can tell by the postmark when you finally do get your check. Also, there is a line count discrepancy.
Save yourself the trouble.
Act fast
Terri Davis is in the process of selling off her accounts and is screwing both companies buying AND the MTs, due to her psyhopath ways.
Act fast on your legal action. MTs and Editors get the heck out now before she cons you into unemployment.
she is truly a sick and evil person who will stop at nothing to look like the intelligent person she is not.
BTW... Shelly (I won't put her last name, but you will know who I mean), is Terri's COUSIN, by no way a REAL MT.
This is truly a run far and fast
Worked for them for 2 weeks in March--haven't yet and will never see a penny of the $150+ they still owe me. I gave up asking. Don't believe their ad that they offer MTs a great whatever--blah, blah. A word comes to mind: ruthless. Just my input.
i'd run far and fast
I have had 2 friends work briefly for this company.. both promised one thing and received something totally different that was not acceptable at all.
How did you get off QA so fast?

Not so fast
There is a difference between OSi or MQ, or some other MTSO willingly offshoring and a hospital/client moving offshore for financial reasons. Not all these moves are controlled by any company or management, they are controlled by the clients. Some hospitals will request offshore for financial reasons, others forbid it. To say that OSI offshores big time makes it look like they did it. . . this is inaccurate..
Not fast enough
Hear ya! I thought it was just me. Type 120 wpm use all my expanders, burn my brain, and can get nowhere near $25 an hour. I would imagine anybody who is getting $25 is possibly blessed with an account from heaven? Not so here. Have a nice weekend!
RUN AWAY!! As fast as you can!
They are the most unhappy bunch of people I've ever met or worked for. I lasted 2 months and it felt like two years!
Run away, very far, very fast. sm
Do a search on the board. Mostly bad stuff.
You can do better.
Run. Run as fast as you can.

Me either-Run away as fast as you can-NM

PLEASE RUN AWAY FAST...SM
sent you an email.
Run away, fast!
I had the extreme displeasure of working for this company a few years ago when they bought out Cymed back in the summer of 2006. They offshore all of their work, treat their MTs like second-class citizens, and I was almost always running out of work. My pay checks were always getting screwed up and I could never get in touch with anyone in the office and, when I finally did, they were usually very rude and ignorant. Like I said, I haven't been there in almost 3 years, but I have heard that they are even worse now. I have been with the same company since I left SPi and I am a million times happier!
Run away, fast!!!
This company is horrible. I worked for Cymed until they were sold to SPi. I left there in February 2007 and never looked back. They treat their MTs like second-class citizens and they were constantly running out of work because they offshore so heavily. Management was constantly changing and my paychecks were screwed up often. This is the LAST place you want to work, trust me!
I should have said .09/,04..too fast...
.09 for straight/.04 for VR but 80% is VR and 20% is straight typing.
Run FAST
Synernet is a horrid company. Pay is low.. 7 cpl for NO spaces on 55 line... they claim it equals standard pay. . NOT NOT NOT
Julie is a horrid trainer.. puts you on hold all the time, gets mad if you call her with a question. Does not teach you all the applications to the platform then gets pissy if you have not figured it out on your own along with everything else.
Lines are not abundantly produced, hard to get 150 lines an hour, let alone industry standard of 200 lines an hour.
RUN FAST... RUN FAR
Pulling a fast one?
What is up with these employers opting to not give their email addresses or company info when you want to apply for a job with them on this site? Makes me a little suspicious.
RUN FROM AMHERST AS FAST AS YOU CAN.

Fast Chart..sm
I am going to test with them. Does anyone have any feedback about Fast Chart? Can one advance up the pay levels quickly, or are you stuck at the horrendously low starting rates? The information they have sent is pretty confusing.
That should be "too fast" - see...
that's one of the mistakes a VR program can make very easily (although it was my too fast hands that made it)!
This job is going down the toilet fast
with the greedy MTSO's, the needless QA nitpicking, the voice recognition, the work that is left being shipped overseas to be done by people who will work for peanuts.
I see the writing on the wall and will put all my eggs in one basket no longer. Back to college for me!
I don't want to be standing in the umemployment line holding a Burger King application when the bottom finally does completely fall out of this soon to be nonexistent profession.
If anyone refuses to accept the fact that this is the end of this job and it's time to start planning accordingly, that's up to them and I wish them the very best of luck.

Can anyone tell me how long it takes, on the average, to start making 9cpl with Fast Chart? I just received their pay scale chart and it seems like one has to do an anwful lot of typing just to get up to 9 cpl. Is their platform user-friendly? Thanks for any info you can give me.
fast chart
They start you off at 6 cpl at Level 1 and move you up a level according to your cumulative lines from Day 1 and accurately typing all reports. From the best I can tell their top pay is 9 cpl on all shifts, which is Level 8.
Fast Chart
Anyone working for them currently? Are they a good company? Are QA staff personable and friendly? Do they pay well? TIA.
Thanks everyone. I am running away fast.

Fast Chart
I'm sorry if this has been posted before. I couldn't find info. Any info on whether Fast Chart is any good? I submitted a resume but want to know, if I hear from them, if I should take the time to test. Transform too. Anybody heard of them?
To fast fingers ....
Your post on Unlimited LD was way at the bottom so I figured I would post a new thread ...
I am unsure on who else there is that has Unlimited LD services that are indeed unlimited. With AT&T and MCI, they have a hidden clause that states it is NOT unlimited and that you have to get a biz line, yada yada yada, which costs hundreds of dollars.
So my suggestion is if you dont feel comfortable with going through Vonage, then maybe check with your cable/dsl companies that offer VOIP ( voice over IP) that gives you LD services .... OH wait, Go to best buy, they have VOIP adapters through diff companies! I totally forgot about that
Fast Chart
I started 2 weeks ago with Fast Chart and have given my 2-weeks notice. My computer does not like the software and have had problems since starting with different problems daily getting logged on and with the software not saving autotext. Sometimes have ran out of work in the past 2 weeks. Made a whopping 240 bucks the last pay period so I said see ya. Starting a new job tomorrow which is better pay. I'd think twice about this company.
fast chart
thanks for the reply. I have been looking for over a month and really am not sure which way to go. I am currently employed but am searching for better pay and flexibility and the hopes of steady work. Too much to ask for??
I would hightail it out of there as fast sm
as I could go. All reports should be counted in my books. I wouldn't stay on those terms.
Fast Chart
I worked there 2-1/2 weeks and got paid squat, which is why I quit and work for another company now which I love so far. Worked on 4 accounts and couldn't make a thing.
RUN FAST away from these jokers!!! sm
I have almost 15 years experience and they only paid me 0.85 a line. Out of the 3 months I was there their pay was late over 4 times in a row - at Christmas to beat it all! And the supervisors bothered you every 5 minutes chit-chatting on IM bringing production down. Plus they were the most offensive people I have ever worked for. They had an EXCELLENT hospital account that I was on but lost it due to their unprofessionalism and I am talking it was a MAJOR account - a great account! They did pay for all of the overdraft fees for the VERY LATE direct deposits. But to avoid future headaches, run fast away from them!
Fast Chart
Worked there for 3 weeks and quit. Low pay for one thing and software was horrible to type in for another.
Fast Chart
Thanks so much. Thank goodness for this board.
Fast Chart
Any current info on Fast Chart?
Fast Chart
I asked about any info on Fast Chart. I do not know why my message was deleted.
Fast Chart
Does anyone have any experience with this company? Regarding pay, how long does it take to move through their levels and does anyone know of anyone at a level 8? Thanks!
