In Reply to: Sure sounds like a money problem to me. Saying their name - might make them pay up pronto :). nm
lots have quit working. Ran of work earlier today and there is a TON now. Looks like someone is trying to get a message across.

I doubt you will make enough money in 5 hours a week to make

What difference does it make?
Just proving my point. If you expect an MT to perform at a certain standard during a verbal test, no excuses, no exceptions, then you should show that same standard everywhere you go, message boards included.
What difference does it make?
I have seen several on this board talking about this endlessly and I wonder why anyone else really cares about what others do in their work. There is always back and forth about what independents should work. Others here say they should not have certain hours to work, that makes them an employee, not an independent. Pray tell, what differences does it make to anyone except to the person working? If you are independent and you work whichever hours you work and another independent and they work certain hours only, why the big fuss? By an independent having their own set hours, does that somehow play into your normal everyday routine? I do not think so. Does your employer now tell you because others have set hours, you will have to do that also- I do not think so. If people are happy with their own job situation, why do others think they have to come here and bash them for their job ethics. I for one am tired of all the nonsense going back and forth. Leave it be. Give it a rest. Do your job and don’t worry about the next person. |
What difference does it make...
whether they refused to allow the client to push them into VR and they had to let you go or you quit because you can't support yourself on 3 cpl. Either way, guess who gets the shaft? You! I can just see it now, thread after thread here shortly about how MDI'ers are now looking for a new home because they can't support themselves. Maybe we should prepare early and create an MDI board right underneath the Medquist board.
I doubt it - that would make too much sense.

Probably wouldn't make a difference. sm
They put my line rate in writing in my offer letter, and did a bait and switch later. Buh-bye gross line rate and accounts, hello new rate and new accounts. I did the math and it didn't come out right. I sent them email about it, and they didn't make it right. Rather than take them to court, I quit.
where are you located ? may make a difference

Nothing we post here will make a difference?
If anything we post here keeps someone from getting suckered by a greedy MTSO, or making a bad career mistake, its worth it! We tell the truth about non-payers, liars, scammers, and the good companies as well. This board is where company reputations are made and lost - and that is how it should be! Thank god for this board, where the truth is told and the people who are blowing sunshine up our skirts are outed!
it wont really make a difference anyway as there is NO work!

What difference does it make who it is? He/she has some valid points. sm
While we are hashing through our own problems and such, sometimes (myself definitely included), we many times forget to consider what the other person is going through.
While the acct does make a difference, the drop in pay
will make it difficult for anyone who has been a speedy MT to make nearly the same amount of mone. It appears to me that their goal is to put all employees in the $30-35K per year range. That's not good enough for me.
I should have listened to the warnings last year on this board last year, but that's okay - I've learned my lesson and will be starting next week with someone else who give me a CHOICE as to whether I edit or not.
I make 11 cpl with straight typing with MDI, and I doubt Transcend will keep our pay as it is. I am

Quit jumping on people who make that statement. Doubt she is

The account that I am on is FIFE, but it is a total outsource. Might make a difference. nm

it's called razzle/dazzle, confuse 'em, make 'em doubt themselves nm
 The real number rounds down to how much you averaged/ made an hour.
No matter how you figure, by the line, character, gross line, by the page, by the dictation minute or whatever, it is what you can average out in a day of work.
You work 10, 12, 14, 16 hours and make $XXXX you divide your hours worked into what you ended up with
They are a mom and pop. I doubt they could buy anyone.

I doubt SEs will be out with MQ.
I think they probably get very excellent coverage from SEs because there isn't the same schedule/time limitations and therefore SEs feel more free to work as they can.
I'm an SE and I truly hope it doesn't change much for me but, if it does, I will just have to re-evaluate and decide if I want to make that change.
I think SEs may see a changes in the form of base pay rates, shift differentials, etc., all the pay issues but no re-classification as it seems is coming for PT and FT employees. They will probably offer a very attractive employee package for SEs for those who were walking the line about SE vs Employee status.
We will see, I guess.
it could be but I doubt it
Geesh!
I seriously doubt that!
Gimme a break.
Still around. I seriously doubt they are down to
one account. Still have the same number of MTs and I have plenty of work.
JLG, without a doubt.
Best co I have ever had the pleasure of working for.
I doubt it but you could ask. NM
z
doubt it -
Ad posted twice with different wording, same number. Both have since disappeared from board. Assumed target was an Indian gentleman. He was very emphatic that it was a scam and did not seem puzzled, so all in all, pieces fit more likely with a trick rather than an accident.
No doubt
That's true. I have had almost 2 solid days of this woman! It's literally driving me crazy. It seems the longer I listen to her the less I hear what she is saying. :(
I really doubt it
I don't know how big those companies are, but MQ is such a giant company it would take a lot of companies merging together to pass them in size.
I seriously doubt (sm)
they would let you go if there is no work and you can't make production. Methinks there must be more to it than that.
Why do you doubt it?
Have you actually worked for Transcend or are you just a doubter? Management is not stupid. They know that without the MTs there would be no company and no profit. Did you have a bad experience you would like to share?
Doubt you could either
impossible to make- cutting out headers, footers, various hidden tokens, etc etc. Does anybody find it funny that the two main companies that are talked about here constantly are TT and KS? Are there any other companies out there that don't go round and round with the same nonsense all the time?
I doubt it, since... SM
the companies I've worked for only paid an extra $0.0025 (quarter cent) per line for being a CMT.
I wonder if that employer knows that CMT fees & AHDI dues go to fund the special Indian Rate that AHDI and Prometric came up with.
MDI without doubt
I have worked for companies large and small but I have never been treated with such kindness and professionalism as I am at MDI. They have an extremely high standard and are very choosy about whom they hire. They produce quality work. Their tech support is second to none. The QA people are all extremely intelligent and above all, kind. I have worked for the good (MDI) the bad (a large national whichI will not name) and the ugly (smaller MTSOs that could not seem to get their act together for whatever reason). Without a doubt, I would recommend MDI.
I can tell you without a doubt
The person posting that is not from this country. Read it again. You can see from the word usage. They shouldn't be on this board, anyway.
No doubt about it - It has to be ...
a recruiter. I work for Transcend, when there is work. Third day in a row and there is no work. And talking to someone about it - that's a joke, and a bad one at that.
Anyone thinking that first message is legit, keep on looking. They will tell you there is plenty of work, great accounts, great benefits but the truth is there is no work, you may initially have a decent account but plan on them changing you over to another account that is not so great and as far as benefits, there is a good chance you won't meet the minimum requirements because there is no work to be done.
When in doubt, try the No you, No you
So what happened to all that maturity of yours?
On VR I doubt you will be able to
double your lines. I have been doing VR now for several years and it is extremely hard to double ones lines. I might have done it once in 4 years, not easy although I am told by my company SOME are able to do.
I doubt it.
I seriously doubt they have sent work to India. My accounts are seriously low, but I really think it is a combination of the VR and probably overhiring. I am sure we will get an e-mail in the very near future addressing our concerns. Just hope we can all hang in there. Of all the posters on this board, MDI employees seem to be the most cordial to each other, which is rare. I wish the best to everyone at MDI.
Oh, I have no doubt
they can prove I posted. The problem is I didn't post anything that could remotely be construed as defation or libel.
no doubt
they DO have much to prove. I am still very skeptical too. We each have to make the decision that is right for ourself, without tearing one another down. However, do I want to cut off my nose to spite my face? Maybe I choose to go with a smaller company, and they sell out, fold, or just have sorry management etc. I am deciding to TRY and see if they in fact do what they say they will, as far as flexibility, trying to work with our preferences and such. I am opting to go with a company that can likely (though nothing is certain)survive this market, provide me with ample work, keep me in the same accounts, pay me decently, etc, etc. Only time will tell. I can stand on my principals all day long, and then not be able to pay the bills. I am the sole breadwinner in my household and have grown children that may need help too, if their livelihoods go south. If you can stand by your principals and do well, bless your heart, and more power to you. I still HAVE my principals and will fight for them in the courts/legislature. I would lay down my life for spiritual principals, but am not willing to lose my hiney for market ideals.
There is a difference! nm

What difference
will it make if you buy or not on July 7? How will this hurt Heartland? I admire your gusto and intent, but do not see how the dots connect......
What is the difference?
I'm just looking into this field as an occupation. What is the difference between a template, a normal and an expander?
The difference is
The kids for the most part are full of life and amusing. The doctors for the most part are arrogent and self-righteous - no fun. Good for you if it pays enough.
I'm believe that it's about an 18-20% difference, so
compared to with spaces for it to be equivalent. So about 10.8 cpl without spaces = 9 cpl with spaces.
The difference is,
they're not applying for a job, just sending a general message rather than a potentially offending personal e-mail. I would think that if anyone reading this thread has done these things and not been hired, they might appreciate the tips . . . however ridiculous it may be that they have done them in the past, or that they did not realize that doing these things appears very unprofessional. Would it be better that they continue to wonder why they cannot get hired?
There may be no difference in pay
regarding shifts, etc. If you are an IC, they can't set your schedule. They are not supposed to anyway. Some people work a set schedule as an IC and that is not good practice. As an IC you should be able to set your own hours. This does not seem to be the standard in this profession with some of these online companies anyway. That's why you make more as an IC because as an employee, they have control over you. 
Difference in Pay
Does anyone know an example of the difference in pay in a 65-character line with spaces and without spaces? I did a search but did not find anything. Thanks.
What a difference between
the pro-KS posters and the people who post negative experiences. The pro-KS make insinuations and assumptions about things they could not possibly have any knowledge of, while the other side simply states their personal experience. Pro-KS'ers, you are really hurting your cause with your adolescent posts.
not IC's but SE's -- there is a difference.

I would like to what the difference is too

There really isn't any difference.
20 years is 20 years no matter where you worked or how you got the work done. I had anything and everything thrown my way. So, please do not generalize. Even though someone has worked at the same institution does not mean they are not well rounded. Also, please keep in mind the AAMT was not around forever, so the new MTs are learning a new way of doing things. Those of us who have been in this field listened to the doctors' way, and not a book. If a new MT could do what someone with 20 years of experience can do, they wouldn't be on here begging for companies that hire new MTs. That's proof right there that a new MT does not have what it takes at least at first and I'm not knocking the new MTs because they are the wave of the future; however, they need to learn before they can apply it.
Is there a difference?
Repost - Are the H&Ps and consults that are done for hospitals very different from the H&Ps and consults done by large specialized medical practices (such as large cardiology, ortho, GI groups etc.)? I wanted to do hospital H&Ps, consults, discharges for a company but was told by this company that I did not have the experience (acute care), even though I have had about 20 years doing the large specialty practices, large HMOs and a little hospital work. They said that the hospital reports would be too involved for me. I've seen hospital H&Ps, consults and discharges, and they don't look any more complex than what I had done in the past. Any opinions? Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
What's the difference?
What is the difference between learning something new at your present employer, or quitting and learning something new with a different employer? Sometimes it makes sense to wait it out or learn something new that your present employer has to offer.
Medical transcription changes daily. It's always to your advantage to learn all you can...new accounts, new platforms...everything you can. The more you know, the more money you make, and the more valuable you are to your employer.
