That is exactly why I left Transcend.  They try to make it look like people can make double what they did straight typing, but it's a crock.  Lots of new people were hired at 10 cpl, but you don't earn 10 cpl for editing on BeyondTxt.  Calculate what your earnings would be with the rate reduction at 2000 lines per day, which when I left was 55% of normal line rate with no incentive, and calculate what your earnings would be at 1700+ lines a day at 0.085 cpl, but don't forget the incentive rate, which at 1701 lines would have been 0.0075 cpl.  Which way is actually making more money?

I've heard that the current rate for editing is 60%, maybe it's gone up.  I don't know, but even at 70% a person making 1700 lpd straight typing would have to produce 2210 lpd editing just to break even, and it still wouldn't even be breaking even because the person is still losing the incentive bonus.  Transcend's pay restructure benefits Transcend because they no longer have to pay as many people the higher wages they did with straight typing.  It still amazes me that so many can't see that.  Even if the BT program was the best thing since sliced bread, which it is NOT because there are so many problems with it, there is no way to make more money with editing unless the person is a low to mediocre producer.  If you normally produce anything more than 1200+ lpd, Transcend really isn't the company to make money with because there are so many other companies out there that pay much higher.  It all depends on what you're looking for.

review it.  This way, requests for post deletions won't appear in the newsletter.

straight typing, 3000 lines at VR for HALF pay.  So you lose.  If you were to break even then, you'd have to do at least 4000 lines on VR.  I don't honestly remember what you said you made, but most companies pay half for VR.

Before attacking, perhaps you should learn the fine art of reading and comprehension.

Ultimately, though, you're happy, so more power to you.  I'm happy too, so I guess it is a good Friday for both of us.  I will not respond to any more of your posts, but I do resent name calling and labeling by someone who obviously has a lot to learn himself/herself.
