Guess 1200 is better than a sharp stick in the eye

or nothing at all. Wait till they discontinue your benefits because you don't make hours requirements, then you'll have a couple hundred dollars a month more in your pocket.

My company is 1200 lph. I think 1000 to 1200
lph is the usual range. Mine is straight typing.
You're very sharp. True. I'm not a recruiter.
Yes, there is a difference. I do not solicit for positions. The company does that for me. I review, test, interview, and then hire.
Not all posts on this page written as Hiring Manager are mine, by the way.
LOL. I imagine someone with sharp scissors cutting pennies.

That was NOT in my post. Too bad your posting skills are not as sharp as your criticizing ones. nm

I stick to it
While others simply disappear during the day. Its very easy to work a management job and take on another typing job at the same time, or even another management job for another company all within the same hours!!! Dang double dippers, guess they'll be having a wonderful Christmas while I sit here having to put everything on charge cards. I have absolutely no respect for these people and I do know quite a few. I don't talk to them unless I absolutely have to.
Don't quite know where to stick this, but
does anyone know if there are different legalities on this sort of thing depending on who owns the computer that was used; such as, personally owned PC or one owned by the company that has a problem with what was said on it?
only 1200?
How many lines can you type a day when you spend most of the day waiting for work to come in?
Exactly..please stick to the truth.

don't stick by their words
There is way too much of that in this industry.
Of course you stick it out with a smile. Really. That's what I would do. sm
Remember, she probably won't last long and then you one day may have her job. Don't let one person out of other really good ones spoil your new position. If it continues longer than a month or so, go above her head and speak your concerns. She's probably just testing you. You know if you are doing a good job or not, and if you KNOW you are doing a good job, then just take her comments with a grain of salt and continue working. Don't make a huge deal out of QA people who are rude. I swear, if I did that, I would have had over 50 jobs by now! Each and every single company I've worked for (3) have had at least one Grinch of a QA person and at first I would get all upset and then I grew up and realized that they are just grinches and the kind of people who probably really, really dislike themselves, so how can they like anyone else????
This is true - the IRS can stick it to them
Contact an accountant or the IRS directly (slow time of year anyway). Ask them - there are 21 points companies have to comply with for independent contractors - find out what those are. I know they cannot tell you when to work, discuss how you work, ask about working for others, etc. - there MUST be something in there about the pay issues, as well. DO NOT LET ANYONE GET AWAY WITH THIS. They will push it as far as they can, and will only stop when they are threatened with trouble with IRS - so make sure they are not violating IRS guidelines for working with ICs.
Why do ppl have to stick OSI on every post
nm
I am in the same boat. Trying to stick it out
Glad that we have 2 incomes here. When I was a single mom could not have afforded to do this. What a shame!
I would try to stick it out as long sm
as you have your foot in there. Most companies won't even consider you for acute care if all they see is clinic - you might actually like acute care once you get past the learning curve. Good luck!
Perhaps you might stick to citing the law instead of SM
psychotic-like ramblings.
Not to be a stick in the mud but what new account? sm
I know we were supposed to get 3 new accounts before November, but what is the rest of the story? Please e-mail me if you cannot post because I had no idea there was something going live.
I have to stick up for angry.
I am happy but I get unhappy when someone tries to push something off that is simply not true. She started her post with an untruth by saying she was in the trenches when it was pointed out in several posts that she is a team lead which is far from the trenches if you read the position open ads from Transcend - it is a lower management position that is used as a stepping stool.
She does not even give the same information about outsourcing that is given by the higher levels of management.
And her worry about offshoring or outsourcing or whatever word you want to use for sending our work to foreigners so they can take our jobs away is a croc - since the company was with before had a school in offshore.
If these positive thinkers would just post the truth it would be a lot better. When you start reading management posts that are not true, you wonder how much more is being hidden that you will uncover the longer you work for them.
You cannot say that any company is without problems. All you can say is how much effort is being made to correct what is wrong and let people make up their minds from that.
All we get is the short end of the stick. - nm
In their ad it says 7.4-8.5 cpl, 1200 lpd, and you use their computer. Don't know more. nm

You get for over 1200 lines a day
and this is just MT, ME is different and too complicated. MT gets for over 1200- extra penny, 1301-1450 +0.015 per line, 1451-1550 +0.025 per line and so on. But on DEP what are the chances of this?? I hope good but hear not so good. plus to move up a pair tier from 1 to 2 and so on must pass test and have AVAILABLE POSITION IN HIGHER TIER, must meet work availability and must be manager approved. So just getting better at your job doesn't make you automatically move up.
I am over 60, so $1200 a month is a little on the
aa
1200 day x 5 - 6000 (I think) nm
nm
ditto, 1200 nm
xxx
1200 lines per day (nm)

1200?? Is that in 8 hours? sm
If it is, you might consider a career change. I have done 1200 on some really bad programs (Spheris, Softscript) with no problem. Company I work for now, I get 1900+ every day, 8 hours.
only 1200 lines
ONLY 1200 lines you say? When you sign on in the morning and work 45 minutes, then run out of work for most of the day...........are you able to type 1200 lines? That would translate into 1200 lines per hour, can you do that?
1200 lines or more
 Now, tell me this, how does a company expect you to have 1200 lines a day when all dictators are foreign, have to download the report to type, which takes a while to download, not because my computer is slow, but it does show slower in the other side, and when the transcriptionists do not type the hard reports get to be the first ones to come up? I am not a perfect transcriptionist, nor a slow typist, but it takes me one hour and about 40 minutes to type 150 lines....frustrated!!!!
glad I didn't stick
around too long at TT. I thought it was bad organization myself. Just my little input from experience!
Stick up lke they did to DMV outsourcing to Mexico
Everybody was outraged when they found out DMV was sending work and private info to Mexico. Wake up people! I have access to more information than DMV on the health records, yet nobody cares that transcription is being outsourced every where outside the US. You should see my medical records from my treating physicians that are transcribed overseas. i have never seen such a mess. It is no wonder that I flatlined on my last surgery. Somebody typed the wrong doses of medication, and the anesthesiologist gave me too much sedation.
I chose to stick with Clinic.....sm
because, in my experience, they are almost always closed or at least very, very slow on holidays.
So, over the years I decided I wanted a M-F schedule with holidays off. That's why I stick with Clinic notes.
Good luck!
New accts. Can I beat myself with a stick now? A-G-G-H
nm
Why do you guys stick around to be treated like this? sm
How awful! Come to Webmedx where people are nice and answer your questions!
LOL. Perhaps I should stick with MQ--easier to spell...sm
Thank you, me, for the info in your previous posts.
There is no way in HE double hockey stick that I would EVER take that job
You say you need the job, but I can guarantee you with that account you'd make more at McDonald's. So, think hard before you step into that. They'd have to offer me 40 cpl to do that job, and it still wouldnt be worth having to buy wigs and Tylenol when I yanked out all of my own hair and banged my head on the desk all day LOL...keep us posted..
Stick figure artist
These folks who throw stones at the high producers remind me of the story of Robert Fulton and his steamboat. When he was about to launch it on its first trip down the river, the naysayers said very loudly You'll never get it started. He did, of course, get it started. The naysayers they began to chant You'll never get it stopped! The moral being that there is no pleasing some people. It is ever so much easier to embrace negativity as an excuse for one's own failure to produce that it is to work on one's own areas that need work. I have always been amazed that such folks did not use these opportunities to learn how to improve their productivity. When I was beginning, many, many years ago, I was grateful for people who would mentor me and give me suggestions. Come to think of it, I still am. I have a friend who has been an MT as long as I have and she at one point was making 100K per year. I have never made 100K per year. Was I jealous? Did I put her down? No, I asked her for some suggestions, which she was kind enough to give. I learned from her and it helped my own productivity. Jealous bashing would not have helped me at all. Learning from her did. Nuff said.
I think they stick their head in the sand
because they only think about their own well-being for the present minute. Wow! Golly Geez! Some company will hire me! They don't realize that by going with a company that offshores, they are participating in their own destruction. I am always amazed at how many people lack critical thinking skills.
They can take their idiotic 'CMT' and stick it
REPEATEDLY!
I'd tell em to stick that offer in their CT scanner,
...Nuke it REAL good.
So why don't you LEAVE already? I don't understand MTs who stick sm
around someplace they obviously don't want to be. Or do you just like bad-mouthing?
Thanks so much, will stick with my .08 cpl and American doctors.
1200 lpd, 7.4-8.5 cpl, using ExText software. nm

A local cc (NC) costs about $1200. The
local state supported 4-year university now offers an on-line MT program too and I think it is about $1800.00. The cc arranges internships and helps with job placement, don't know about the 4-year school as it is a relatively new program and I am not familiar with it.
12,000 lines/pay period not 1200
I'm sure it was a typo, and I'm not picking on anyone, but I just want to clarify that it is 12,000 lines per pay period that is required of an SE which is roughly 1200 lines a day. Hope this helps!
1200 lines/pay period?? nm
x
1200 lines a pay period
The requirement for direct deposit is 14,000 lines a pay period CONSISTENTLY, so in breaking it down over a 13-14 day period, a bit over 1,000 lines a day -- hope you can brush up on you math too
My last job paid no incentive until 1200
(just the hourly) and only 5 cpl for lines over 1200.
More than 1200 lines a week?
so what's the point in being so rude to wandering MT?
not true - I do 1200 lpd and got a raise
x
Thanks..1200/day no prob. Can you tell me more about schedule with Ax? Thanks again SM
Is it hard to get time off? I may need a few days off in the first year. I have a supervisor now who is a pain, so I'm not too worried about that aspect.
I hit 1200 lines a day easy, sm
I hit 1200+ daily at Axolotl. I was reaching my line counts within the first week. As stated in another message, it could be the difference in accounts/dictators. I work on several accounts though.
I don't know about computer/VR but never heard of 1200
