I am still making good money with a natl. Not giving up yet. Just need about 10 more years and I a

Is it good work ethic to ask to change accounts at natl company? Please SM
I work for a national company and overall I've been quite happy. However, they changed my primary account last fall, and I have been miserable since then. It is a teaching hospital, several hundred docs, tons of different rules about format, etc, that change almost daily, 80% ESL, and I am very unhappy with it and making less now than I have in the last 7 years I've been doing acute care transcription because I'm so slow on it. I get paid 8.5/line.
My question is, is it wrong to ask to change accounts? My quality is great, they are very happy with my work, and in fact have mentioned that many MTs have quit rather than do this account, and of course I realize someone has to do it. I'm so unhappy, yet I don't want to appear incompetent or a cherry picker, etc, if I were to ask for a change (which they would not have to do), and I would like to stay with this company if only I could find a way to be happy with the work, because it is a good place overall. Any thoughts on this? Thank you.
TransHealth has some that start the next month after you start work. nm

Possibly...
I just took a PT IC position with Paladin Retrieval and so far so good. I believe they are still looking for acute care folks. Pay is good too.
Now, how can you possibly know that? (sm)
Seems to me 9 months is more than enough time to meet requirements. Sounds fishy to me. There's probably more to it than OP is saying.
How can you possibly say that? They are NOT going to be the next
to go. That client in NV is extremely pleased with TT and isn't going anywhere. I have been with TT for almost 5 years now and they have lost a total of 2 clients in that time. Gimme a freakin' break!
is that possibly why...
it takes a long time for that recruiter to get back with you, if she/he does?
Very possibly
Nothing is 100% sure of course. But some transcription companies are already doing this, charging more and offering quality and doing very well, especially in specialty fields. They don't advertise as much because they have lower turn over but we know who they are.
I will bet that because of increasing lawsuits and liability, hospitals are going to be a lot more careful about what becomes part of a patient's medical record. And who has access to it. As the economy gets worse, the big companies are going to cut corners more and more trying to squeeze more money out the business. They probably won't even want to be bothered when their profits go down and cut into their big CEO paychecks. First there was a glut of nurses because the hospitals didn't want to pay them. Now there is a shortage and they are going nuts trying to recruit them. There are cycles in business.
I don't want to become a mllionaire. Just make a decent living for myself and some other transcriptionist. As I said, some companies are already doing this.
possibly...
She can try RC Transcription. They have an internship. The downside is it's free. As in they do not get paid at all. But after completing the internship, they often, if they do well, get hired. Focus also has an internship. Other than that, I'm not sure of any companies that do it that way. You may want to consider giving her a letter of recommendation with the info that you are mentoring her as she works, maybe be able to get her foot in a door with a company that occasionally will take on a new MT? Good luck to her!
Could it possibly be the -
very first one, at the top of the list?
Possibly - but for whom? But even
if we lowly MTs were even offered these perks, who among use could actually afford a hybrid, or even a used jalopy, at this point?? 
No SE but possibly IC
In our call he said Transcend doesn't have a statutory employee status. They do have IC status which will be addressed on an individual basis. It's obvious they prefer folks to choose employee status but IC may be available. I've seen their ads for ICs and they require you to have a federal employer identification number. ICs also have to pay self-employment tax, which amounts to an additional 7.5% to cover the SS/Medicare match that the employer pays for SEs.
I don't know where they could possibly fit
they should change their name to 'TRANS-CRAP'.
possibly MedQuist
Maybe MedQuist? I was recently hired as a newbie. As a newbie, they want a set 40-hour schedule, but I was told that can change down the line. I'm statutory, BTW.
What about my message could possibly have come across like that?
All I did was comment on some of the rude replies to legitimate posts and ask for input on other positive MT sites.
Why the chip on your shoulder?
Possibly DTS in Tennessee. nm
s
Possibly Milner ? .... nm

How can you possibly say too many MTs look for the perfect job? sm
It is those who settle for substantially less that drives the field down. And MOST cmopanies pay for headers and footers ... anything I have to research and provide should be paid for .. to think less means you have been brainwashed.
I don't know anything about Transend, but they can't possibly
me worse than SoftScript. If you read back through old posts there are lots of posts about both of them.
I believe it is at least 90%, possibly as high as 98%...nm

Did you consider that possibly they do not have anything that fits what you want or that sm
you might not fit what they want for openings they have right now?
Don't take it personally but if you are really upset about it and want to find out what the reason was, ask them. The worst they can do is not tell you, but they might give you insight into something that you are projecting or missing, something that you can correct.
What training can they possibly have
that cannot be done online?
The company should invest in modern technology, otherwise it is going 'under, 'soon!'
And if you have to go, I hope the company pays for EVERYTHING.
They couldn't possibly know...sm
I plan to continue to use mine as I always have. I am just really going to have to be extra careful! I've never sent any Expander faux pas through, but my luck, it will happen now!
I agree that everyone should be on their toes. It would be quite unfair to put any unnecessary work on QA expecting them to catch it. We all need to be grammar police. It comes with the job!
Looking to possibly hire on with JLG. Is anyone happy there?? nm
,
Cover letter possibly?? nm
nm
Were there too many ESLs or possibly not enough work? nm
xx
Gee, could it possibly be because there are a lot of people who actually like working
there? You have obviously had some bad experiences. I am sorry for you.
What can they possibly find to email about all day?
nm
This is possibly one of the best responses I've seen
Could it possibly have anything to do with being a HOLIDAY on Monday? nm
.
Amen! Possibly the most thankless job in our
nm
Possibly trying to get a recruiting bonus. nm

Possibly the whole idea of their email isn't
but instead, to drive as many of their US competition out of the industry as possible.
Topaz
No one could possibly have problems. CB has said everything is perfect again.
She has had such great experiences even though it has been pointed out that she is working under completely different circumstances than the majority of the MLS. The MLS on BeyondTxt get rated on the percent of work going to QA and get written up if it is too high. But she would never understand that in the glass house she lives in.
She has never had and will never will sent a question to HR@trcr.com and not get a response for 2 weeks if they ever do respond. She will never have to ask any questions about insurance because she knows all the answers.
the Offshore Wagon possibly?
???
Could you possibly email me at my address listed above..sm
and tell me on average how many lines you can do in an hour? I know there are a lot of variables to consider but it would give me some idea of what I might expect too. I have 28 years experience and consider myself quite good, but I know sometimes the software, demographics, etc. can slow you down. Also, is there a lot of work on the accounts? I like to do about 2000 lines a day. Thank you for taking the time to help me.
How can you possibly make any $$ for 2 cents per line???
Am I missing something??
I meant the MTs who cannot possibly work outside their home - nm

Yes, told double to triple possibly
I've done VR on other platforms in the past and I too transcribe really fast so have never seen much extra in the line of productivity. Yes, do a combo of both straight and VR. Thanks for your honesty here.
just so you know, it is possibly to sign on FB using ANY name. small message
it does not have to match the email address you sign up with. I'm thinking suits could get on and you'd never know it.
What "positive" could possibly make up for the fact they DO NOT PAY?
I'm confused...
So if someone emails you to say DIT is flexible, pays a ridiculously high amount per line, has the nicest QA ever, or whatever 'positive' they can contribute, you would accept a job with them even though they are notorious on this board for NOT PAYING THEIR MTs?
I don't get it. How can any 'positive' possibly negate that all-important negative of THEY DO NOT PAY?
Seriously, please enlighten me why you are on here soliciting positive feedback when they don't pay? I am completely and utterly flabbergasted by your post and probably sound much harsher than I intend to be, but...THEY. DON'T. PAY.
What could possibly outweigh that???
That rate very possibly reflects an account SM
or platform that requires more time per report, or maybe not--something to check into. I make almost that editing at my company, but it was explained to me up front that there was a lot of correction to be done.
Leave your email and i will contact you about possibly some prn work. nm

Possibly a penny a line? I've never had anyone ask if I had my CMT on an interview. nm

Possibly a new Indian company. They've never been mentioned here before. nm

possibly -- it seems to have finally shut down the endless TT threads ...
I was beginning to think they needed their own board ...
I wasn't following them, but my impression is that they had been going on -- in some incarnation or another -- for several week ...
who would want to work for a company with so many so unhappy employees (even if the internet notoriously distorts just how many people are represented -- since the same people -- particularly the most incensed -- post over and over and over again -- creating the impression of great throngs of angry people)
I have no idea if TT's suit has merit ... just that such suits are not unprecedented and -- aside from unlikely-to-make-much-difference memos to their employees or public notices on boards like these -- represent the only way I'm aware of to defend one's good name.
If this served to educate the many folks here who thought that the first ammendment automatically protected them on line -- then good has already come from this.

there is a thread further down this page or possibly the next page
I transcribed for Compuscribe years ago. Had no problems, just low pay but no problems.
Ok. When will you start?
When do you start?
When were you hired and when do you start. Curious about how long it takes to get started.
when did you start??
Lots of inconsistencies here, when did you start?
