Got the call from MQ today

Came from "Mike" at corporate MQ number on caller ID.

Just wanted to verify that I got the letter and that I would be getting the new benefit package in October. I politely asked if he could give me any advance FYI on any of it and he said, nope, they were just calling & verifying we received the letter...and that October was not that far away  my last name starts with G & I'm in the midwest, so maybe their going in alpha or by office, who knows.

I did ask him a question about the new links on the QNet, about what to find on there and he actually had to pull the page up and his computer was running so slow he said, that I just told him never mind.

So...the suspense goes on ladies and gents.

from a recruiter at Focus.  They offered me a job doing acute care supposedly 60% VR and 40% MT.  I can't say that I would even think about it.  What I don't get is this:  She said these reports have to be listened to all the way through.  BUT, you don't get paid for the whole report.  You only get paid for the lines you correct.  The way I see it is you could be listening to a three page report, correct 4 lines and get exactly 16 cents!...4cpl!  Am I interpereting this correctly?  This is absolutely ridiculous.  I don't care what people say, there is no way you could make any money doing VR at that rate.  Is there something I am missing here?

The real frosting on the cake so to speak was the fact they they said their tech people are in India!  I don't think so!  Im not giving India any of my business.  Its bad enough to call the utility companies and get these folks much less having tech support over there.

Somebody shed some light here!   Thanks

Pay is per hour. They have .8 and .7 positions. Both are elligible for full benefits. $196 per month insurance for family, dental family is $32 a month. Hours stink. 4 days a week 5pm to 10pm and 8 hours either Saturday or Sunday. 0.55 shift differential. Don't know what hourly wage would be...yet. Strickly radiology reports. Would have training at the head MT's home, about 45 minutes away from me. Don't know how long that would be. I was showed basic platform and it doesn't look to bad. WordPerfect 5.3. Their computer and equipment. I guess they are swamped. They have 19 hours of dictated minutes right now on their system with 8 MTs currently. They like to see it more around 4 hours.

Opinions?

I think:  Individual $26-something per pay period, employee+spouse was $180-something, employee and children was somewhere close to $200, and I think the whole family was $360-something (really high for family), but these are guesstimations so don't hold me to it, but this is what I remember.

joining them.  I said sorry, we are all trying to cover our financial bases/asses.  His response was bring em on. 

It came priority mail.  Our postman said they were delivering all priority mail today, everything they had there to get it out before Christmas?!!?  Whatever!?!?  Works for me!   Anywho, nice gift/acknowledgement.
