You said you LIKE to pay your bills, you have a good rapport with your supervisor, you're flexible.  Does "you're flexible" mean that you work in addition to your 8-hour shift when the work load is low to make your 20K lines per pay period? 

I used to post on here as a cheerleader for KS but was always bashed so I stopped posting.  I went to the owner of the company about the bashing, and she responded that while she used to get upset by this board and others like it, she stopped paying attention to it and decided that if someone had a decision to make, they would make that decision based on facts, not on an anonymous board.  She advised that I not take it personally, but I still did. 

About 15 months ago, another company contacted me and promised the moon.  I asked KS to match it, and they would not, so I left.  I became one of the nay say'ers thinking that they did not care enough to make a valuable employee stay and still did not have insurance that was affordable.

Fast forward a year.  The company I left for did not live up to any promises.  I applied for, was hired at and worked for a month or two or even three for five more companies in 10 months.

Last December, I decided to swallow my pride and go to the owner of Keystrokes to ask if I could come back.  She sent me to the recruiter who made me reapply, send my resume, answer the question sheet and take the test.  She then offered me my position back on a different account and my same pay rate.  I jumped on it and have not regretted it for one second.

I love my job, love Keystrokes and plan on staying for a very long time. The grass is NOT greener on the other side!

and I didn't really think it would be like pulling teeth because MOST people at Transcend are willing to help when you ask WITHOUT the attitude.  But if you post on the forum like you do here, it's obvious who you are.

I have worked long enough at the company to know their practices so was just surprised, that is all.  It is nice of you to chime in with your veiled criticism, though.  It is no big deal.  I just found out last night that I need new tires for my car, and waiting 1 more day to have that done won't kill me. 

There ARE troublemakers on this board, but I was not stirring up trouble.  I just know that things have slipped through the cracks sometime and was just checking.  The faster I get it solved, the faster I get paid. 

No matter what, I hope you have a good day and everyone treats you better than you treat them.

I call your attention to the question in my previous post as follows:

if you have posted good about your company before, you won't mind doing it once more will you?   If there are good MTSOs out there people should be told.  Grow a gourdhead and the posters who post obnoxious comments in response to your honest opinion won't bother you any more than what you just posted about me bothers me. 

As for those senior moments, in case you are having one....yes, I said that if people don't help themselves they can't count on anyone else doing it for them.  I was speaking of organizing (not necessarily union), sticking together and working together for the benefit of ALL MTs, isn't that what AAMT started out to do back in the 70s?  It could be done and it seems to me that those who can't pay their bills and have to choose between a loaf of bread and a quart of milk have little to lose.

As for my husband's pension, since you brought it up, I HAVE mentioned that numerous times in the context of his being a UNION MEMBER and thus having excellent benefits.  As a medical Transcriptionist for many years, I had no such retirement benefits but had sufficient income for investments that would solidify my retirement.  It appears to me that the majority of MTs in 2009 have no such opportunity.  In my considered opinion they deserve much better and I feel it would behoove us oldsters, such as you and I,  to do whatever we can to help them along the way.

As a matter-of-fact, you are correct, I have much time on my hands.  I have a lot of things I am involved with but I still have time on my hands because 1)  I'm a workaholic and do everything at the speed of light even in my advancing age and 2) I require very little sleep.  It has crossed my mind to start a NON-PROFIT (meaning no dues) for MTs for the purpose of lobbying for better pay and working conditions for medical transcriptionists.  To date I have only one seemingly insurmountable problem.....a mailing list for MTs.

I don't mind your quoting me but I would greatly appreciate if you would get your facts straight and I thank you in advance for doing so.

I think I've just been a victim of identify theft!

It does not say that is all I could type in a day, now does it?  It says that is the minimum required by companies.  However, on so many days you have to fight to get that much, and it may take you 10 or more hours to do it.  No, not because I type that slow but because the work is not there!!  Geeze.

but it was removed.  Glad I got the chance to vent and that 11 people got to read it.

I would think that only one recruiter/owner would need to post for a transcriptionist, not four.  The one was titled Police Reports, but then on the inside it was medical transcription clinic work.  I'm not so sure about that one.
