C'mon people, you get what you give!!
If you give half wages for full editing of very few clear dictators on a slow VR platform with no expander, bad sound quality, and technical problems, what kind of MTs do you think you'll get? Experienced, high producers?
C'mon on, we're hungry, give us more than a bone

No, if they give YOU a set schedule you are an employee. sm
It would be the same as if I ran a retail store and hung my hours on the door so my clients would know when I am open and available. The same goes for MT work. All the company is asking is when is your sign open amd when are you closed. Now asking you to commit weekends is YOUR choice and you can obviously say no, but prepared for them to shop somewhere else if you are not convenient for them.
and give employee status
I also need emp PT status, because I don't want to worry about paying taxes myself quarterly (what a pain!)
Anyone wanted to be an employee from IC only to find
that your money will drop per line- so our pay is dropped and then we will have money coming out for SS, unemployement, etc., etc. This really sucks!
Give TT some time to see if they can find cheaper plans
I also am greatly upset by the insurance hike, but I have decided to give them some time to see if they can come up with something more affordable. Like many of you, I have to insure my whole family, so this increase is astronomical.
The grass is not always greener. Changing jobs means switching out problems, and yes, some problems are easier to deal with than others. My last job (Amphion), I was so stressed out, I lost a lot of quality of life. I have young children. I can't afford to be a stressed out freak just like I can't afford the expensive health insurance. When I moved to TT, I regained my quality of life. I'm not so tired anymore, and I'm able to be a better mom. That means the world to me. I'll hang in patiently to see if another option can be found for the health insurance.
Does anyone find it interesting how companies want ICs and then give you the schedule you are to
work. I thought by law you are not allowed to set a schedule for an IC. Seems to me they are getting the best of both worlds for a whole lot less because of benefits they are getting out of paying and all the things the government requires.
10 pages, bull, they want it for free, give them one page or find another job.

Thanks. I'm not really ready to give up my employee position, but nice to know in the future. nm
Slow, does not give line counts, if you accidently send on before done, have to find TL to
:}
Well, c'mon!!!
D's off counting her newly-garnered greenbacks and all the extra bucks she'll make offshoring a bit quotient of that work (UNLESS I'm wrong about Transcend offshoring, but I believe they offshore a good-sized percentage of it).
Why shouldn't she want you guys to be happy?
SHE IS FLIPPING DELIRIOUS AND LAUGHING ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK!!!
Putting this deal to bed as we struggled to get our lines and pay our bills.
Class act.
Great finale, MDI-MD.
THANKS.
Oh c'mon! Admit it.........sm
it's the nasty, "go for the jugular" posts that keep these boards entertaining. If we all posted polite little messages, I'd be bored to death.
C'mon over to Webmedx, where you get sm
a cookbook that you can download and print with your own ink and paper. 
C'Mon ladies, NEED HELP!!1
Would like some information, PLEASE........ How about insurance cost at Axoltl or Transcend or Transtech? Any cheaper??? Oh yes, we have BC/BS
congrads? I know...no spelling police, but c'mon. nm

need a clue!
Wanting to know what company is considered one of the "better" places to work for? I have been offered a few positions, but after looking at the posts here, its kinda scary! Thanks much!
I don't have a clue.
:)
Does anyone have a clue (those of you that
work for Amphion) why people are cheerleaders for them? They are not that great - the pay is only so-so and the people are not THAT nice. just wondering.
Not a clue....
I have worked for Cymed for a year now. I never received the notice about not receiving a full check. That's all new to me. I have never ever had a problem with payroll, so I have no idea what that whole thing is about. I work out of the Virginia office, so maybe it's different. I have no idea.
you have no clue
If so, have not a clue on this can you
send me an email. I did not want to call a name or a company. I would really appreciate it. Thanks! If this is the 1, I will definitely let you know.
Does anyone have a clue?
Hi all!
I tried searching the archives, but I could not find much. Anyone have any info on this company based out of Porterville, CA? 
TIA!
Well sorry I have no clue about
pay per line cuz I have done this for 10 years being paid per hour so I have no clue honey
Get a clue....
There are no rules here that one must use a moniker... get over it! It's offensive to say something is retarded. Grow up!
Amen to that - and they don't have a clue. nm

Sorry - I guess I have no clue what
I was working on before, I was told it was DEP, but obviously not.
WHEN are companies going to get a clue sm
MTs are the BACKBONE of ALL MT companies. We literally generate every single dime that goes into a company. IT guys don't generate income. QAs don't generate income. The team leaders don't generate income. The fat cats at the top don't generate income. WE DO AND WE ARE THE ONLY ONES!!!
If companies want to make more money, they should not outsource or offshore. They don't need to go to VR either where the equipment is expensive to buy and maintain and you still have to have an MT to edit that crap. No, what they need to look at it how to maximize their MTs. You ask them up front what they can do, what they want to do and where they see their career going. If the company thinks they can make the most of what the MT wants, then go out and keep finding more accounts to make the MTs happy. They will work to build user friendly platforms that are all Word shells, not wonky excuses for a word processing program. They will offer benefits AND IC contracts. They will get QAs out of there who lack people skills and MT skills. They will encourage Expander training and use so that those who mistakenly think that autocorrect is an expander will have the opportunity to make more money for the same amount of time spent.
In short, they will understand that our work pays everyone's salary, so keep us happy and treat us like the skilled professionals we ARE and not like typists or typing machines.
ewww just gets on my last nerve.
Thank you, thank you for that much appreciated clue.
we're talking about a perfectly dreadful typing congomeration. Am I right?
I'm in CA, Fatcat...No clue where you are
But lunch without sitting at the computer waiting for work to trickle in sounds FABULOUS!!!
You all have no clue what you are talking about - sm
I work for Deb and Aces UP, 2 years plus now. The client does this to save money, they are billed at a lower rate then if we straght type a report, kind of like what many of you do with VR. The doctor brings forward the previous report the patient had (we don't have to pull it, but if we have to go get it because they were too lazy to get it then we are paid it as straight typing and a new report), then they dictate a new Interval History, changes to the ROS, PE, Labs, Assessement and plan. Leaving in everything else previously dictated unless told to remove it which is rare. I can do a 5 minute dictation in 10 minutes, then yes, I get paid for the whole report.....not just what I typed, yes it is a lower rate than had I typed a whole report from scratch, but I only typed a portion of it, maybe 25% if that. So on a good day I can churn out 6 brought forward reports an hour, over 600 lines easy and get paid for all 600. If you have the dicipline to sit and not get distracted it can be very good. Also on the plus side no demographics to enter, report types, etc. It is all done, all you do it pull up report, the voice file loads, copy and paste the previous report into your MSWord, type the report, copy and paste it back into the platform, easy. No BS. 24-hour TAT, no set hours, just do your work in that 24-TAT and everyone is happy. I am quite happy there. I have 7 doctors I work on, no pool work with 300+ different dictator, so thumb your nose at that. Plenty of straight typing as well. I really only have 1 doctor that does the brought forwards, my other 6 are straight typing. Also plenty of work, too much sometimes but I'd rather have feast than famine.
No the hospitals would not have a clue
how could the hospitals know why MTs abandoned their jobs?
Do you have any contact with hospitals now?
Take a more practical and rational approach- beat the MTSOs at their own game. I am NOT anti-MTSO, I am just saying if you really feel abused by these companies - BE THEIR COMPETITION!
Just as there are "oldies" who don't have a clue.
The experienced MTs at my company are the same ones that cherrypick and won't do ESLs (not sure if just lazy or can't do them). They also make a ton of errors on their reports. One of them consistently spells medications wrong, even after warnings from our AM. Some don't bother looking up referring physicians to double check the spelling (again, don't know if laziness or they don't know how to Google). Yet, these MTs make 1 cpl more than I do because of their experience level. I may not be perfect, but I do take pride in my work and produce approximately 2000 lines a day with at least 99% accuracy, even as a newbie. I also do a majority of the ESLs since everyone else just skips over them. I have been told by 3 different account managers that I have a knack for ESLs and understanding accents. I was also pre-med in college and have an extensive background in the medical field, so I am very familiar with terminology, pharmacology, procedures, etc. Yet, I am just a newbie, so I get paid less.
Maybe rates shouldn't be based on the time on the job, but on actual skill level. If you are bringing in more money for the company and are doing harder work types (or more ESLs) than others, maybe you should be paid more than the other MTs who don't make such a contribution. Of course, that is jsut dreaming.
I believe the poster's moniker is a clue. ;)
Webmedx?
I have no clue but that MTSO was probably just jerking you around.
I do hiring and there is no such list to my knowledge. I know I know others that do hiring for other companies and we never talk about candidates at all. No names are ever mentioned and there is no such list. Besides, a candidate that might not fit one company might be a good one for another.
This black list is bull.
oh boy.. no clue where the rest of my post is.. sm
maybe I'll have time to rewrte it then... hmmm
No clue. That's the info they gave me. sm
They are in Farmington, NM. Cannot find a web site for them or anything with the BBB.
their slow response should be a clue as to how they run their business.
I know.
have no clue, but based on their pay @ .04 editing and .08 for transcribing (saw on a job ad), I wou

If they use the hospital's system, the choice is not theirs. Get a clue. nm

she used to be the secretary for the chief cheese -- no clue!!! don't do it.
xx
I hope so because I have no clue what this post is talking about!

and also, tech people don't have a clue what they are doing when u ask them a question
All they want to do is come into our computer because they know absolutely NOTHING about what they are doing. It is dread each and every contact made with the tech people at TT. Time-consuming training by the MT for the tech people who are salaried and not being paid by the line. J____ was absolutely EXCELLENT and HELPFUL. Another sad  situation when he left. Tech not been the same help since then.
No clue, all I was told is it's a huge new account.
If it's west coast, that's scary, I do west coast accounts now for another company and they're all horrible. This one I'm supposed to be doing is on Enterprise platform?
I got the chapstick too. I honestly have no clue why they bothered sending anything.
nm
I guess our clue is supposed to be when we run out of work all the time?
nm
I want to clarify something... i have no clue what they are planning in the upcoming days... and it
nm
I disagree. I don't blame them for wanting to clue some people in. (sm)
Some people obviously have a lot to learn about applying for a job. They covered such things when I went to business college in the 1980s, but I remember when I was a secretary in an office, seeing the IC Transcriptionist come into the office wearing outfits I would never be seen in public in, let alone a professional office I was getting a paycheck from.
Any clue who the company is hiring the Newbies/nonNewbies sm
on the job seekers board?
Word global should be clue. Perhaps their main office is

You obviously haven't a clue what you are talking about. TT has NOT lost any accounts. TT is NO
having financial troubles. Dictaphone does NOT control the money or the accounts. I would strongly suggest you refrain from posting that erroneous information here or face the consequences.
Did find a Wright Watson Sten-Tel in Austin if their site isn't old. Find 'em with Google. nm
