Hope that stays the same because it is apt to drop

In Reply to: At this point MQ only has 20% reduction in line rate for VR. (sm) - sm
as mine did. Lot of us outsourced from a major hospital and went from salary and incentive to less than 4 months later VR at 4 cents a line, still make that but on straight it is 8 (over 30 years experience) but I average about $18.75 an hour and that is because of my speed only. When pay and incentive though over 40 thou a year so quite a drop.

I hope it stays that way - I have visions of (sm)
it turning into something like that other board on here that is just for one company only. That would get my BP up for sure. Hope it works out. Maybe I'll join later.
You are fortunate. I hope you always have work and it stays that way and doesnt change.

Who are you to say who leaves or stays?

I don't see how he stays in business.

somebody will do it; hence the wage stays low nm
It's been said in the past that pay stays at 7 to 8 cpl forever. nm

Didn't say not credible..just not that bright if she stays where she "hates" it.

She clearly said several times that she starts her shift, gets work as it comes in, and then stays
on and types at night or whenever she feels like getting the work to meet her goal. I don't even work for Transcend NOW, but read her clearly post over and over how she meets these numbers. She works WHENEVER she can to meet her goal if the work is NOT there during her scheduled shift. What is so hard about understanding that? Yes, some MTs are allowed to do that at Transcend, so she's not doing anything wrong. TO REPEAT: She works her shift, typing what comes, making good use of her down time in the meanwhile - think she does chores or something. If there is no work on her set shift, she stays on at night and grabs the work she can to meet her GOALS.
that would make it the disease of B. Crohn, therefore, the apostrophe stays. (sm)
That's how I was taught. If you can replace the apostrophe with the word OF then the apostrophe is correct. Regular grammar states the apostrophe would stay. BOS says otherwise. Personally, I like proper grammar.
I currently am on a C-phone account...mine stays pretty busy (sm)
If they are offering you 2 accounts I would probably take it. I wish I had a backup for the times when mine is slow, which is rare. The C-phone accounts aren't bad but I worked on Docuscribe at Medquist and LOVED it! For what it's worth, I'm happy at KS. Good luck!
Drop it already! ENOUGH! DONE! OVER! nm

Is there a reason you cannot let this drop?
We are all tired of all the nonsense, but seems to me you are tyring to continue it!

Thanks for setting me straight and thanks for your time in answering.

I think you can drag and drop it.
Isn't that working for you?
Did they also drop the rate?
If this is the case, then this is why. If not, and it is as you say, I would start sending out resumes and don't leave until you have another jobtained and even work both for a time if you can, to see if you like the place. Some management style is punishing, they feel this is the way to do it WHERE it should be the opposite, people will work their guts out if they just be nice and fair. Start looking for a better place. Their loss.
I had to drop my coverage -
I could not afford to pay the premiums as I had no work. I was basically working just to pay that.
Also, since they paid on a tier plan, I went from making over 11 cpl to making 6 CPL at the same time. That is why they do not mind overhiring - they get the same work done for much less money, so that means more money in their pockets.
You do realize what MQ is doing right now is exactly what Spheris does. I still think they may drop
SE but hope not but Spheris does not have IC or SE so if there is a plan in the works MQ may just have employees.
So, if your the lucky soul who gets 7.4 cpl and you drop below 98.9%, then you'd get 6.4 cpl..wow
You can drag and drop, but under the more button you
have to check the box that says remember player position. HTH.
Don't people who obtain the CMT normally drop the RMT sm
from the end of their name?
Comm Pg; request Help; use the drop-down box. nm

Just wondering - why would an MTSO drop
Not disputing you or anything, I just wondered why they would do that. It seems it is dog-eat-dog in the MTSO industry and I can't understand why they would practically give an account to a competitor.
Just wondering, not disputing here.
I believe there is a Drop Chute program but
I don't know anything about it.
Yes. I bought a policy when I knew I would drop below
production levels. It has a higher deductible than my MQ insurance but it was the almost the exact same cost. I will never tie my health insurance to an MT job again. Too risky.
Thank you for posting. I've been waiting for the axe to drop
because I can't get up to speed. I was expecting to be able to do 250-300 lph there because I heard how great their platform was. I do love so many things about them compared to other places I've worked.
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 would call or drop an email inquiring.

Agree Completely. Will Clients Drop Us?
Those clients surely will drop the new entity first thing. Perhaps a new entity will evolve to cover those clients and will absorb those of us familiar with them?
Let's drop the subject. The issue has been addressed SM
by the company and resolved.
What scares me is a drop in pay beginning today.
Certainly, not the training; certainly not being out of comfort zone. In all my years as an MT I have gone through many changes. What I don't like is being put in a position where I put a question mark next to my check for the next rent, and for the future... That is what I am scared of...
Doesn't it make sense to be frightened of a sudden drop in pay when you have no other income to depend on? If I were salaried I certainly would not be afraid of anything... I would enjoy learning something new... but this is like no safety net.
Also, my car loan as well as my landlord expect me to have the same or better income on my paystub... what am I supposed to tell them about a drop immediately in the same job? They would certainly be afraid if they knew this were happening.
I didn't drop, the computer dropped a "k" but as a professional

Any Spheris employees notice a drop in PTO time? SM
Before we got 4 PTO hours a paycheck, now is seems to be 3.38. Has anyone else noticed this? Thanks.
You can make up your lines whenever you like. Just drop them and email letting them know that you ar

Must be your manager 'cause mine lets me off at the drop of a hat. sm
You should ask again, saying that you have extenuating circumstances. Offer to work extra during the pay period to make up any missing hours, if possible.
As for slowness, it is MUCH IMPROVED since earlier this year.
I hate to ask this question but do most MQrs think they will stay if MQ would drop SE status for
part time and full time employees if it was a fairly flexible schedule, of course, never like IC and SE.
On the MT side? They start off attentive and then drop you real fast when you need them. nm

Pay will drop significantly with Dictaphone EXSpeech 1/2 per line, or something to that tune. nm

I've also worked there over 4 years and I have noticed the work drop
Whatever left is the crap. Also, check your line count some time. I swear that they have manipulated that also. I can now do over 2 pages and it comes up with like 50 lines. I used to be able to make a living there but can't anymore. I'll be quitting.
Bad things on the horizon. Wating for the other shoe to drop. A sham indeed,
Indeed. :(
Drop them an email. Mine was stolen. I received a nice empty envelope.

they don't pay their share of the premium in any pay period you drop below full-time line count..

Hope this fan ain't
nm
hope not
I certainly hope 20 hours per week requirement will not be part of the new rules. I think a line count requirement should be sufficient.
hope not!
I hope not, I need to work 50+ hours for them to make ends meet, otherwise I will have to get another job. Is it okay to work for two companies??
I would hope someone would
do the same for me if asked.
I hope I do not have a bad
experience with them. That is why I am only going PT and if it does not work out, I will still have my old job to fall back on.
Let's hope so!

Well I hope..
The facilities start to catch this and crack down on the companies. My part time company wants ALL reports looked over. We don't penalize for sending blanks to me and I do a quick read over everything (except for a few MTs who do not require this). I worked in Escription and what I saw on there was SCARY!!!
I hope this is better.
I worked for an offshore owned company where it was all about quantity. Company even kept a HORRIBLE MT just because she cranked out the lines. Didn't matter her quality was crap and was considered a joke by middle managment. India did most typing but with US edit. Typists changed regularly so it wasn't like they learned to do better. Quality would improve slightly and then would notice, after couple of months, that quality was crap again so we knew we were dealing with a new batch of typists. Even so, the push was always on to get the jobs off US edit and send Indian work straight to client. Of course, the clients never knew they were not getting US editing anymore, as they got no price reduction when they no longer had that level of work being done on their jobs. The problem is the facilities accept the crap work so why should the companies change. It took a while but I finally found a US owned company where quality matters. Now one of the first questions I would ask a prospective employer is if they are US owned.
We can hope so, anyway! nm

I am like that too, so I hope you are right! nm
