I'm afraid...after working for several years...

at a company, who will be unnamed, but is very popular these days, I have finally took the plunge and taken a position with Web.  I'm happy and afraid at the same time.  I hope I do well.  I hear good things about this company.  I just want to be happy again.  My present (soon to be past) job has really whipped my you know what.  I hope I made the right decision.  Thanks all.

my line rate, but instead paid me for my knowledge in the medical field.  By the way, I made very good money back then, too.  Cannot allow my skills to be sold at one-half my current line rate.  I have more pride in myself and confidence in myself than to be paid that cut-rate by any MTSO out there.

i think they pay really good.  i love my acct.  the supervisor is a good communicator.  i have a lanier acct, but they do have some accts where your program for retrieving dictation is over the internet, so no long distance needed there. i think they even give you a chance if you don't have fast speed.  i don't have fast speed, where i live it's not available.

good luck!

is that there no other profession I know where everyone usually starts at the same pay, regardless of experience.  It is also the only profession I can think of that does not feel compelled to give raises. 

There is just so much of MY time spent reading and responding to emails to comply with changes and specifics, switching to backup account, actually doing text on VR reports to make them accurate and not getting paid for it at text CPL, no work, downtimes, etc, etc, etc.  that I don't even get paid for.  Afraid to keep track of my time working and trying to manage my work and figure how much I make an hour that if I did, I would probably jump off the nearest bridge.  (No responses on that - I have other skills and will get out of MT and head to another type of job before I resort to this). 

I started my last job at the same rate as those joining the company with 2 years' experence.  Haven't had a raise in 5 years. 

I don't want to hear back that we are fortunate to work at home.  I know any poster that comes back with this works in management, so spare us all your thoughts on that.  The MTSOs don't have offices big enough to house their MT staff.  They don't pay for our computers and generally not our internet, do not pay for our utility bills, virus protection and would have some hefty bills if we were all working in their office and they had to pay these bills - SO they do come out rather well -they just don't know how to share profits.  Our cost of living goes up - no raises to reflect that at all.  I am back to thinking greed is driving the MTSO businesses - but have known that probably for a lot of years.  3 CPL for VR some places and lucky to get 8 cpl for text - give me a break.  Ready to throw in the towel. 

And MTSO managers, supervisors, team leads, if you are reading this, please do not send me another IM with your picture sitting on a beach.  That constitutes you had made enough money to take a vacation - I don't and I actually do the work, am a skilled professional with lots of knowledge, and this implies you got to take a vacation - you guessed it - ain't been able to afford one of those for a few years now.  Put a picture of you at a keyboard or pulling your hair out over a bad dictator;-) which is what MTs go through on a daily, if not hourly, basis.

You make a good point, though, because the work would be clinic in my preferred speciality, and you can't get any easier than that, given that there are reasonably understandable dictators and a good platform. 

What the heck.  I'll give it a try, then. 

Then go find something different to do.  It's not difficult.  But do not claim that this is a national security issue when it is not.

on your high horses - aim at the the first 2 posters.

Entitlism is just not something I can stomach on the 4th of July. (your statement)

 This IS an unineducated statement. Stuff like paying (giving them) them an interest free loan (business loan) to pay for their capital improvements- they want you to use their PC and want a way to pay for it interest free.  This is bull. Plain bull.  Hey you want to pay for some things that will only work on their PC, go ahead. Hey jump at the chance.

If for instance, you are doing work either FT or PT a business of one, just going merrily along, there are not enough (given the standard deduction rate) to come up to that amount, meaning, you swallow the costs.

I say once again, I provide plenty of equipment/tools and should not have to pay a licensing  fee to use their software and on and on. Just like I don't charge them for using my MSWord used to interface their platform to make it function. E--nuf. !

 Especially when you are an IC and THEY virtually have no business costs, no social security, unemployment insurance, no disability costs and on and on.  I call this a pretty darn good deal all ready.

If you say you do better, they'll deny it.  Ssssshh, don't burst their bubble. They get grumpy when you do.
