If there are any psychics, I could use the lottery numbers for the Big Game please :) nm
Good night everyone.
While I wait to win the lottery, I need to continue to work....
Does anybody have any information on this company out of NJ? I've done a thorough search and absolutely no information is available. HelP?? TIA
Psychic???
week to start sniffing glue. Psychic Friends???? Effectively synergizing backward overflow. You do absolutely nothing, and it was everything you thought it could be. What an analogy, its so you!!!
So now you're psychic and know
the other poster ''looks different'' from me? Aren't you being just a wee bit judgmental yourself? If you want to track her down, give her a great big hug or send her some money, that's up to you. I simply read her statement, which stated that having her payday moved by a couple of days a month - four months from now - would send her to a loan shark, and said what I thought about it. Harsh? Maybe, but we big girls need to develop the resources to take care of ourselves.
Well, geesh... I guess since I am psychic too I should be able to figure out who that would be..
Some people.. who better to ask than the employees of MDI. I think they would know if they are IC or employees.
Does "being around here long enough" make one a psychic?
sign or message is in this person's post that makes you know who they are? I would imagine that there are many po'd MTSOs out there. It could be any one of them. I'd be po'd as well if I had to deal with the likes of some of you folks on a daily basis.
Guess you don't work for MDI-MD and aren't psychic either....
and yet you still didn't answer the question as to whether you work with MDI-MD.
Guess that answers my pot-stirring question.
Thanks!!!
Oh great - Another psychic employee!! HAHAHA
How about just saying yes, it is 70% of your line rate instead of making up rumors.
You must be psychic. I just ended up going on Ebay today and bought a Dell with Windows XP on it.
I originally went through Dell directly but they charged $400 more for the same computer because they were customizing it with Windows XP as now all the computer came standard with Vista. Apparently not so customized..haha.. better deals on Ebay.. I LOVE EBAY..
Love, love, love TransTech! Not overhiring, just growing like crazy!

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 :)
MTSO
New here. What does MTSO stand for? Thanks
Looking for an MTSO where I can do mostly ops.nm

Better MTSO
I would contribute myself. Sorry to sound conceited, but I'm really good at my job - and I want to work with other people who are good at it, too.
I think that the MTSO can
anonymously or pseudonymously respond with line rate range info to provide general info to the posters.
Another MTSO here
Feeling just like you. Look at the ones who complain about working weekends - how many medical professionals do you know that don't have to work weekends? Why are they in this field if they don't want to work weekends? It's a pity trip. How about working in retail or restaurants?? You want a 9-5 job, go get it, away from home of course.
Would like to talk privately but I don't spend much time on this board and don't really know how to do so. Let me know if you do!
To MTSO - sm
I don't fish, so I don't know what you are smelling, but perhaps something from your personality? I have posted this before, and will continue to do so, as IT DID HAPPEN to me, IT IS THE TRUTH, and I have no reason whatsoever to lie. I want the original poster to know what can happen if she gets
hired by Keystrokes. I want others to benefit from my hiring experience so they don't have to go through what I went through. If my posts are so distasteful to you, do not read them. Your attitude in your posts leaves much to be desired as MTSO...wish I knew your company so that I never cross your path. Perhaps someone posted the truth about your company once too often?
MTSO
Not all MTs are employees. There are ICs and there is a difference.
To: MTSO
Many of the MTs who send that great looking resume' with what appears to be a solid work history...are totally bogus. They may have worked for company x, x, x, x, and x in the last five years, yet they condense and fudge to make it looks like they only worked for company x, and x in the last five years. Many MTSOs don't take the time to check. If the MT passes the test...the MTSO is usually so desperate to get somebody in to work, they hire them without checking.
Also, many claim that they job hop because a company runs out of work....guess what? This happens at almost every MTSO, so instead of quitting only to find yourself in the same situation a few months later, get a second part time IC job to fill in the gaps.
MDI, anybody know how big this MTSO
is and how many MTs they have? Does any body know if it is IC or employee status?
Any info is greatly appreciated.
Does your MTSO allow you to use your own
I'm torn on this issue. My company has just strictly forbidden us to use normals unless they were created by the client, since apparently some MT's have left text in the document in error by not editing correctly. I can see how this causes a serious QA issue, but I can also see that my pay just got cut seriously yet again by not being able to use them.
So, what' s the answer here? How does your MTSO handle normals/standards, and what happens if you make an error with one?
To MTSO
At the risk of causing a stir, I am curious about your comment that no serious MTSO would hire a PCDI grad. I am the poster titled Another PCDI grad right below this post. Again, I state that I do not believe it is all about the school, I believe the person and the determination has a lot to do with how far you can go. I feel very comfortable with the 2 jobs I have. I also know that I am not the only PCDI grad with a job. I truly wish that more people would stop looking at just the school, and start looking at the person, because there are all types.
mtso
If I may ask, what does MTSO stand for? Thank you!
What is MTSO?
nth
Well, that's why you are the MTSO and we are the
MTs!! Its your responsibility to divide up the work, and sorry, but most MTSOs I have dealt with have asked me to commit to XX amount of work. They know full well that is all I can handle due to MY other commitments, yet the MTSOs are more than happy to have me at my commitment of XX. That is OUR agreement. I am an IC and on my own. So it is not my problem if Sally has an earache or Dr. Jones has extra work. That is YOUR problem. MTSOs should ASK if we can handle more due to the above situation, but when MTs get dumped on with 2 or 3 times the amount of the agreement, it is WRONG, and very frustrating for the MTs. Thus why most quit and move on to a MTSO who will keep the agreement. Its only common sense, really. Which seems to be a lot to ask for in this day and age.
Top 5 MTSO
Cymed advertises as the 3rd largest for domestic MTs. Not sure how you would verify that though.
Of course....but where are you and are you an MTSO?
It is just hard to give up all my info all the time only to never find out who an MTSO is or if they are legitimate. All of my info, address, etc. is usually on a resume which we submit via e-mail, but if a supposed MTSO never e-mails back, how do we know who we just sent OUR info to?
TO the MTSO
You are not being 'bashed.' People are merely using a public forum to forewarn fellow MTs of poor experiences. If you are truly concerned about your reputation, you will re-examine your business practices and make some needed changes.
Bashing implies an 'unfair' attack - that's not what is going on here.
This is why when you are an MTSO
You should have a payroll account. Any business person knows that you must have an account to pay out subcontractors. My brother pays his subs (painting contractor) every week. He doesn't see his payments for work done until sometimes 90 days, but why then should his subs wait?
If you want to run a business, you must have a payroll account and not rely on what the client pays to you and when.
If you do not have the capital, then quit using subcontractors thinking you are making a buck. Do your own work!
Just yet another view. 
Which MTSO's allow you to use your own

Seems to me an MTSO needs to see example of

MTSO
Where in the heck do some of you people get this mess? We have more work because the hospitals are busy. Stop trying to invent things. Pretty cut and dry if you really want to know the truth. You people always get on here to plant negative ideas in people's heads. Why don't you pay attention to the job numbers and you can see or is it just easier to assume. SHEESH!
me too!! Must be MTSO above..nm
nm
Which MTSO
was this?
Not only can your MTSO see....(sm)
your posts, management, supervisors, etc., etc., BUT anyone who Googles your name or anything associated with your post. I have even gotten onto boards that are subscription only by Googling words and posts showed up on their boards. True, I may not have been able to post on that board, but I sure could read whatever was associated with my search results.
I have a second job as an IC. I let the MTSO
know when I can work and how many minutes I can transcribe. They will then assign me that many minutes and I have it in by their TAT time. If I can't work, I don't. If I request work and they have none, that is fine too. I have no set schedule and am not on call. I work when I want. They have requested I work 1 time when they had a backlog which I did, though I didn't have to, because at that particular time my FT was out of work. As an IC, you set your schedule, they don't tell you when to work.
You must be an MTSO?

To MTSO
Maybe it's time for you MTSOs to get together and lobby Washington to stop this off-shoring that is destroying the American dream. Most MTs today are making less (including myself) than they were making in the 80s and I dare say the MTSO profit margin is probably also less.
Because the MTSO will probably know who I am if I do this.
I am still working for both of these companies (no other choice right now). Both companies post job openings on this site, so I am sure that they also read some of these posts.
MTSO
because this was my company being owed $10,000, which was at the time about 6 weeks' worth of work. It was easy at that time to rack up that kind of money...that is also about the time I found out that a company has 30 days to pay another company each individual invoice. I was billing, per contract, every 2 weeks.
MTSO not MT
This person is looking for an MTSO with subs or employees to do 5000 lines a day not one MT.
