In Reply to: Why is it hard to produce quality work? - Tired of excuses
And couldn't agree more. The more pay for better work just sounds like corporate blackmail to me.
The bottom line is patient care, and if you don't care enough about the patient to deliver a quality report to their record, you need to examine the reason you're an MT.
Remember, as above poster said, if that were one of your family members in that hospital bed, you'd be outraged if a shoddy report was in their chart.
This sword cuts both ways.

I love your post!
can you imagine if all medical professionals who sent their work to offshore accounts did not get the benefit of US editing, what a mess they would see in the work that came back, and I think that would do the trick and stop it cold in its tracks!
Aw, I love your post!!!
I actually giggled out loud...Thanks so much for summarizing it all so nicely :-)
That's okay. I still love your post, anyway.
I really love your post
If it isn't the newbies whining, then it's the retirees who have really seen the hay day. Well I've been in this profession for 20 some years and I am very happy. Every single time I post something positive about a company, someone comes here with a backlash because it did not suit their needs or some QA person squashed their sense of know it all attitude.
I get tired of the same old whining and complaining. Either hire on with a company that doesn't do VR or quit your bellyaching. It gets old and quick.
The one post that got me was the lady who couldn't afford the milk and bread. Well what do I say to that? Get off your lazy butt and find a job. These same complainers are also the ones that don't want to pay for food stamps or welfare for people who are able to work.
I have to say that I do not believe that the poor mouth is the norm. I make plenty of money but I do have to work for it. I only work weekends if I feel like it because I am an IC. I don't take work from companies that require set schedules. I also don't take any crap from QA. Thank God I found a good company and before you ask, no they are not hiring! LOL - I love saying that! heehee
Love your post. Never thought about it that way. (sm)
Glad to be going to work for a company that has people with positive attitudes like yours and others I see posted here.
Love your post, Sir Percy! LOL

I love DeVenture. I think there's a post..
on pg 2 or 3.
Love the literation of your post.

I love your post, it is PERFECT!!!!! sm
When I started, there was NO WAY you would EVER EVER get away with guessing a word because you didn't know. That would get you fired on the spot. If you didn't know you put a s/l note and left a blank. QA 9 times out of 10 would get it and follow up with you. What I don't like now, is when you send something to QA you never get a followup to find out what you didn't know.
I also remember going straight to the horses mouth the dictator. We use to page em in the hospital and ask what they were saying. I think it made for a more accurate report. Obviously there is no way that could work now though.
Thanks for this post. I love a new perspective on things.
I've always felt that the women libbers helped the need for 2-income families, but you are right - I hadn't thought about the single women and women who wanted to work not being able to get decent jobs or decent pay. We still have a long way to go to break the glass ceiling, but women can be anything they want to be these days with regard to career, and we have the women libbers to thank for that most definitely. I am very grateful for all their efforts. I just wish that it was easier to be a SAHM these days...whatever the reason - economy, government, libbers, greed, etc. While I do feel they played at least a small role in it, the good they did outweighs the downfalls. I appreciate your input. It has given me a new perspective on things. Thanks!
Just came upon this post and LOVE it, thanks for posting, have one thing to add....sm
This past year I had a lot of changes, some okay, some pretty bad, but one of the only consistently bright spots has been my job this past year since Februry. Just wanted to share, as they are hiring, perhaps someone else would not like this position, but I have been MT for close to 30 years and feel very compensated, cared for, content, un-stressed, and happy.
My company is on the west coast. They have many accounts from clinic/acute care, sports medicine, ER, primnary care, and just about every specialty. They truly strive to match up each MT with primary accounts, and also with accounts you are familiar/comfortable/proficient in. Work is strictly IC, and they truly work it that way. You basically choose hours/how many/when, there are no weekends unless you want to work, no holiday coverage (unless you want!), very flexible with personal days, sick days, etc, as long as there is sufficient notice for coverage; pay is always corret and ON TIME, although we are paid monthly; Yes it was a drawback the first month, but after that I just took that fat check and budgeted it, no problem.
One of the best things is that we are paid by the GROSS LINE, which is a line is a line is a line, everything counts, spaces, returns, macros, certain headers, it adds up fast and to the the MT's benefit, believe me.
Our platform is MedRite XL on Crescendo network, very easy, fast, user-friendly, Word-based, all you need is a high-speed connection, Windows XP, sound card and foot pedal, training is very laid back, kind, helpful, and very rapid if you have been an MT for quite a while. My boss was just asking me if I knew any fairly seasoned, dependable, well-rounded MTs, and although I have a few friends in the field, they are busy with other jobs they have been at for a long time....I am not a salesperson, I am not a headhunter or anything, never even been QA, I actually over regular old transcription, but I really love this company, I have had some horrible experiences, and these folks have been a JOY to work for this past year. Please feel free to e-mail me with questions, I did not give the name so as not to be too much of a cheerleader. Happy, peaceful, prosperous, and very healthy new year to everyone out there!
See my post above...I love to read posts like yours!
I'm ecstatic to be on board with Transtech and reading posts such as yours from long-term TT'ers makes me smile that I'm part of the team now as well.
Haha yen, love your post and agree completely with what you say!
Love, love, love TransTech! Not overhiring, just growing like crazy!

I too love path & can't find it at home & would love to cross-train into rad in the meantime I do
Love this company, love my boss, very informative QA.nm.

My post should say the post above not the post below, Sheryl's post to be specific. nm

Does anyone think 41 is too old to go to nursing school. I love MT but I just would love to be a
nurse. I have such a interist in helping others and the medical world.
Love, love, love DeVenture
Super nice, flexible and just all around nice to work for.
Love, love, love Axolotl
I totally love Axolotl. Just as A-team said, fantastic benefits. Yes, strict schedule, but never ever had a problem getting off when I needed to. I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else.
I would love to know too, I love EXText

Love Bayscribe and love the pay
At 11 cpl I love working for MDI Maryland. Bayscribe is a breeze. The lines build up so quickly. Everything is right there on the page. Sometimes, you have to fill in patient data, but who cares.... you do get paid for it. No holiday or vacation pay as it is an IC position. It beats 8 and 9 cpl any day. IMO
Love, love Archivus
Mind my asking what your line rate is? Do you have to work a schedule? Is their platform good? Anything else?
love/hate MT, mostly love it :)
i've long been dismayed with the direction in which this profession has gone, and i agree with the person who posted that women have accepted substandard wages and/or unfair IC or employment situations. It's very sad to see how, when outsourcing became the norm, women did not adequately negotiate to, you know, pay their bills!!! It seems this has resulted in lots of undercutting and lower line rates for everyone. I see some companies slowly improving and not requiring crazy line counts and hours in exchange for paying into health insurance. i entered this profession as a single female. i married an engineer and was living mighty comfy and cushy and happily doing 4 hours at 11 cpl in the late 90s. didn't have to worry about not having bennies at all. now as a single mom with a young child, i truly struggle. but i do love my work and hold out for my specialty to keep the line count up. still, i see the glaring problems and it's just a shame. if there were an MT union, i'd join in a heartbeat. no time/energy to start one and be some kind of norma rae, though!
Ah, yes, a love/hate thing indeed!
Best to all of you wonderful mts, male and female :)

It's a "fishing" post. Same post a few days ago with numerous errors

Read Spherson's post below, who admits, in the post, they do pay it.

Peachy, your post is interesting, but my post now is irrelevent but
A few weeks ago I went to my clinic where they had recently implemented EHR or EMR, whichever you call it, and the doctor's back was to me the whole time he and I conversed because his nose was stuck in his laptop. To me, it felt a little more impersonal, but I understand he was doing what he had to do, but it seems like the bedside manner may go to the wayside if the doctors can't even look at you when they are asking you questions or you are speaking to him/her. I know this is relevant to your original post, but just an interesting fact that I had not anticipated. Anyone else experience this?
This is why I NEVER post my cpl. I'll post the range of
what the company pays, but NEVER what I make. I know that I make more than probably 70% of the people there, because they know I produce a client ready report and that I can do anything they throw at me. We don't have levels, but I guess if we did I'd be at the highest level. Telling how much you make isn't so bad, but when people know what company you work for and then what you make that isn't a good combination. The ONLY people I have ever discussed what I make with, are my husband and my MTSO owner. Talking about your salary/pay is enough to get your fired in lots of companies.

One post was another "run" type of post and the
the recruiter. Once you are in with the company, the recruiter has nothing to do with you or your job. I want specifics about problems with THE JOB, not the recruiter. Specifics such as no or late checks, line counts being messed up, no work, taking bennies away with no explanation. Things that matter, not the recruiter.
everytime you post, where ever you post
unless you go through an anonymizer, your IP address can be traced back to you, even through the guises of this web site. There are web sites you can find on the internet to do this for you, or if you are 18 years old and like to hack, it's an easy enough thing to do.
I post a pay range, DOE; however, most don't post..
I wish some MTs would start thinking about the business aspect of the industry. For example, this is a public site, so go to Google or another search engine and type [the co's name] and per line, and voila! now everyone knows how much you pay your MTs.
Post removed, you can re-post.

Love it there
Okay, I have read all the posts and have been keeping up with all of this. I wasn't going to say anything, but some of the naysayers are getting a little nasty. I think that Transcend is a very good company. All of their pay rates and incentives, bonuses and benefits are public knowledge on the forum. It would make it very hard for preferrential treatment to go. However, I suppose it could happen. What I don't get is if it is happening to someone, why wouldn't they do something about it instead of putting up with it and complaining to the world about it while they do it?
Also, there are a ton of posts on here about Transcend from this thread that are not nice about the company and I haven't seen MT Stars pull one single post. I guess they aren't as biased as some would claim!
LOVE THEM!
I've been with them for almost 6 months, and they are the best! They truly treat their MTs with respect. I would highly recommend them!
love JLG
I have been an MT a long time and JLG so far has been the best company to work for. Work flow is constant, management is great, and so far, I have not run out of work. If I have my way, I will never go outside the house to work again. I cannot imaging having to drive into town everyday with the price of gas right now!!!!
LOVE MY JOB
I love my job. Best job I have had. People nice to work for, flexible schedule, no nit-picky QA stuff, like "comma in the wrong place". And great pay. RAH RAH RAH...I didn't even have to take any test. Sent them my resume, the called and hired me.
I love it!
"little control freaks with no experience other than raising a few kids" ROFL! Yeah, you have that description down pat. Honestly, with some of the ranting emails we get from team leaders or account supervisors, I'd hate to hear them dealing with their children when they think nobody else is around. OK, so one person on the team did something wrong, so let's scream at everyone!
I love OSi..but I wonder about this, too

MDI-FL...what is it that you love?
I just got hired by this company and am looking forward to getting started. It sounds like a great company to call home and that's just what I'm hoping to do. I really need a fresh start after a bad experience with a few nationals. They seem to have a lot to offer. I would love some input from current employees on what to expect. Is the work volume pretty stable? Platform user-friendly? Easy to make line counts? Are most of the dictators pretty good? Do you they pay every 2 weeks or only on certain dates of the month? Is pay always on time? Have the changes over the years been for the better? Would you say this company is here to stay? Sorry for all the questions; I'm just hoping this is the last MT I'll work for. Any info you can provide on the boards or off the boards would be much appreciated! 
You will love it!

I love....
You are a sick individual. I hardly ever come on these boards anymore because the level of discourse has sunk so low. There is someone else on this board who uses a name similar to mine and we have been mistaken for each other in the past. But, even if you mean to direct your comments to me, it is of no consequence to me because you are obviously ignorant. I have every right to my opinion and to express it. If low IQ people like you misinterpret what I have written, that's the price one pays for expressing oneself.
All I know is that I love the changes!
They are great! I can't wait! Don't care about much else. All of my accounts are on DocQscribe.
Would love to know if
feedback please.
Love OSI
...
Love it here at TH. And no way would they ever do that.
I've had emergencies, and as long as I communicate -- everything is FINE. The staff is nice. The work is decent (ESLs though and some mushy americans but who DOESN'T have those)... You can't beat their benefits and I've never EVER had a late paycheck. You can do worse, trust me.
