As stated previously....
This is an anonymous board. Anyone can come here and post under any name. That is not a clue that this is the 'real' person.
As I said before, your posts come across as very snarky. I am being honest with you. You may want to work on your communication skills. Communicating online is different than communicating face to face.
You mentioned 'bitter MTs.' I am not one of the 'bitter MTs' that you speak of. I have a great job (not with MDI). The company I work for is not even mentioned on this board, and there is a reason for that  . Yes, there are 'bitter MTs' who post here. And you know why they are bitter? Because they are dealing with companies who do not have any respect for their MTs. Now, I know you are going to carry on about how MDI appreciaties their MTs. Well, I hope that's true. Instead of trying to address their gripe here, I hope you are addressing it individually with the MTs who actually work for MDI.
my training pay was previously
$10/hr and it stayed there until my production exceeded that amount. I think its unreasonable to be paid on production from day 1, as there is always a learning curve (new equipment, new doctors, new acct specifics).
I worked there previously as well.....
Everything the above poster said is pretty much right on. The QA is really irritating, there are two of them and one is extremely nice and helpful and the other one does correct punctuation that shouldn't even be corrected. The format is in Word and the Word punctuation will say it is correct and after the QA corrects it, Word will actually say that is wrong, but QA will say her way is right. I have even spent time searching for the puncutation rules that maybe she goes by and never any luck. QA is a little inconsistent as well, such as they do things a certain way for a while and with no notice, it is changed and you are marked off for that. Other than that.........I never even spoke to the owner of the company in the whole 2 years that I worked there, the only issue I had was lack of work more often than not.
Owner previously worked for MQ
Need I say more
I have to agree. I had previously turned down 8 cpl but now...
I see where I went wrong. I passed on 8 cpl on an account with NO ESL because I thought 9.5 cpl sounded better. What I did not realize was that 70% of my account would be ESL so I now see that I could have made a lot more taking the 8 cpl. You are slowed down so much with ESL so I agree that you should factor all of that in before you turn down a job.
I have spoken to the owner previously - sm
Very nice owner, company seemed stable. I did not end up working for her but I would have had other circumstances not come into play.
If anybody has worked there previously can you please email me? sm
This would fit me well, but I have read a few negative remarks.
Would work for JLG before Transcend, having worked at both previously. nm

Can I ask who you worked for previously. It may have been on one of the accounts or companies I
worked for..When I went to work for that one and ended up making $9 an hour, I was so disappointed because I figured since I was a high producer at my other job and made big money plus I had experience and needed no training on the platform I was sure I would be doing well. I am more convinced than ever that they fix the line counts. They have to or there would not be the huge difference. Of note also was that the low paying one was the easiest. The account was a walk in the park so I really thought I'd make a great living as the other job was a lot of ESL etc. Boy, was I in for a shock.
Same here as I posted previously. Check archives here.

QTers - post previously true
Thank you to whoever had courage to post about QT losing their large account, for all I know their only account at this point. I had for months heard rumors of the work going to outsourcing and now our latest check sure looks like an Indian had signed it. So figured work would always be light and would have to supplement. But thanks to kindness of a stranger posting where the account is going, I won't miss a beat with a paycheck and with an account I have worked on for a long time. So if those of you were doubting whether it was true, it is true and I believe they are still hiring for more positions at the company that starts with W. Good luck to everybody. How could such a good company go down the pooper so fast?
Anyone work for Transcription Connection in Ohio? I worked there previously & am wondering

Could the KS RAD MT who stated
below that she has been at Keystrokes for 2 years and makes good money define what good money is? I would like to make sure there is plenty of work to make $$$.
someone stated... c msg
IC only, no benefits, paid by the minute.
I stated
at the beginning of the test that it was not timed and was open book.
Sorry...should have been *It* stated

Please know, as I stated above -
that a USB may NOT be what is required in a job. There are also 9-serial port and 15-serial port pedals. All companies are different and have different requirements. I'd hate for you to buy something you don't need.
I had stated it would not keep them from getting
a job for sure and yes, you are right about the chuckle...but I definitely would love to see a little more professionalism in this field. I think people would take the field more seriously with more professionalism amongst all of us though a few laughs do make the job more interesting. :)
As stated below, have been here for almost
it's stated on both ads.. looks low to me

WOW! VERY well stated!
This is an excellent letter. You made some very valid points, didn't lose your cool and I think you prevailed in your argument. You succeeded in pointing out to AHDI themselves their glaring inconsistencies. I am so proud of you for having the courage to write this and share it with us.
Well stated! sm
You took the words right out of my mouth. I am not yet a CMT but am going to take the exam before the end of the year.
I have a friend who is an ER physician. He has no respect for what MTs do, primarly because his reports are riddled with errors by MTs who 1. Don't care or 2. Do care but do not have the skills to produce an accurate medical record.
Either way, MTs are sometimes viewed as low-skilled labor that is easily replaced. Credentialing can only help to undo some of the damage that has been done to our profession in the past few years.
Again, this is just my opinion. Please don't flame me if you do not agree with my views. We're all in this together and want the same thing. More respect and ultimately more money. Most of us work because we have to. 
Well stated. You get what you pay for...SM
We're talked down to by MTSOs and QA and expected to turn out perfect work while at the same time wages are going lower and lower. What workers in any other line of work would stand for this? Would they care?
FT only, which is usually stated in their ads.
Usually have 2 accounts. The schedule depends on the account, but with KS and most all companies now the schedules run Tu-Sa or Su-Th. If clinic work may not be required to work weekend.

I saw their ad on MTdaily and the ad stated
something about offshoring resumes ...sounded like they welcome both USA and offshore. So 2cpl is not good for two reasons:
1) Because its 2 cents/line
2) If they welcome offshore resumes, then they probably are offshoring accounts, which means you will end up retyping JUST ABOUT ALL OF THE REPORTS, thus, making no money.
Beautifully stated!!!!
There is something going on, they are outsourcing and there are money problems.
in the ss website, it stated...
no equipment costs and that
they provided all the necessary equipment for effortless setup.
so i was shocked (and fell for it) when i was told to purchase the pedal/program.
i am one and have stated my reasons why
this board is mainly for complainers.
if any poster has something good to say about a company, they are practically dismembered by angry mobs of posters.
who even knows how many actually DIFFERENT posters there are? who cares?! lol
i don't see a union ever for MT work. i see aamt watering down their own organization.
i doubt a cmt certification would help much at all, just do it for personal satisfaction.
this field will never be regulated so it won't matter.
jmho
and as I stated in a posting to someone above--sm
perhaps they should ask your company to post the names of all who were hired...as if it is any of their business, anyway...geez, I just don't understand some of these people.
The new PT job I have stated today they had others from MQ (sm)
joining them. I said sorry, we are all trying to cover our financial bases/asses. His response was bring em on.
It is clearly stated in their ad on the job board. n,m
It was stated the way she meant it.
I am sure that she meant exactly what she said. It could have been stated in a more professional, courteous way.
There is no reason that people should be so RUDE all the time. I guess it makes her feel like she is somebody or something.
YaaaayyYYY!! Very well stated
Thanks for the kick in the butt:)
As I stated, I make $25+/hr...
and my name says where I work. My company is routinely bashed, but I personally know at least 2-3 other MTs who work for my company on this board that also make a comparable amount.
no....if I wanted more, I would have stated that.

As I stated in the msg above, I did not know you could use your own. My apologies. nm
.
As I stated in my post,
I was trained by a mentor. She had, at at time, over 25 years' experience in the field, about nine years ago. I have no idea what they teach about this in the classroom, but I suppose my answer would have to be that it was chiseled in stone. LOL!!! 
However, just for you, I found this information provided in the BOS2:
In an independent benchmarking study of the MT profession conducted in 1999 by the Hay Management Consultants (HayGroup), three distinct professional levels for medical transcriptionists were identified and described.
The first item listed for the Professional Level 3 states, Recognized as possessing expert knowledge of medical terminology, anatomy and physiology, disease processes, signs and symptoms, medications, and laboratory values related to a specialty or specialties.
Level 2 refers to the same knowledge, but as seasoned rather than expert.
Level 1 refers to the same knowledge, but as basic rather than expert or seasoned.
I would think that an expert level, even a seasoned level, would include available dosages and what the medications are used to treat, wouldn't you?
Does this mean you have to know this? No, I don't think so, but I would also think the transcriptionists with expert and seasoned knowledge earn more than those with basic knowledge. 
Hope this helps! 
You should have stated that you just wanted
you didn't really want a true explanation or answer to your question. You asked, I answered. I could give 2 hoots what anyone does or doesn't do, sweetie. I was wasting my precious time based on my mistaken assumption that you were truly wanting to know the answer to your question. So, have fun bickering with yourself. Too many MTs with valid questions to waste my time further with you. You can sure lead a horse to water, but you sure can't get 'em to drink. LOL.
