anything like that in California. I watch HGTV and cannot believe what kind of crappy looking homes you get there for a price that is so over the top. I have a stand alone 4 bedroom, 4 bath, stucco house with over 600 square feet great room and a huge fireplace. I was in Sacremento about 2 years ago and what gives with the homes connecting onto 1 another? That was really strange for me. We live in Georgia also and with his salary and mine we have gone to the $90,000 salary per year. I would take my home here any ole day than what is offered there for 4 or 5 times the price of mine.

My son just inherited a 100+ YO house in the Georgia countryside
which I was planning on moving into to renovate it since he is still in college. I KNOW cable and DSL aren't available and think I would have to have either Hughes Net or satellite, so this post is quite distressing to me. I didn't realize there were certain specs to VPN that might not work. Now I am not sure what to do! 
Do you work in-house here? I applied last August & was told in-house only and they weren't

I would not go so far as to say they cannot be beat. sm
There are several services out there offering 10 cents a line AND they pay full benefits, PTO, 401K, holiday pay etc, AND they have direct deposit, which FN has for only a very select few. Who wants to pay $25.00 a pay day to have your check overnighted? Not me. Otherwise, you wait for the mail which could take over a week to get to you. Not very technologically advanced in my opinion. Plus, the ESLs really are the worst ever. I am glad I left and got a REAL job with REAL benefits.
Beat you both....
I am 66 years old and still working full time at home. Worked as a legal Transcriptionist for over 30 years, but had always been interested in medical, so I took a course, and been working ever since. Just wish they had telecommuting many years ago!
Don't beat yourself up
I have a 5-year-old who is prone to ever respiratory illness known to man it seems, which terrifies me after him being born with CDH and one lung not fully functioning. Anyway, even at this age, he knows my work is important but that I'm here for him if he needs me. I actually have my office set up with a small sofa in it. If he's sick, he lays in here with me where I can keep an eye on him. I don't believe your child will be traumatized with you having to work while he's sick. Just the sight of mommy makes things seem better, and at least he has that. :)
Oh I can beat that one...
How bout they email to say there's no work...then close with, Take this slow time to get some Christmas shopping done or to do something nice for yourself! Excuse me, if I aint making cha-ching...I aint Christmas shopping and I certainly aint gonna waste money on a massage or a manicure...Puhleeze!!!
do not beat yourself up
I took the test for the WMX and did pass (they would not accept the schedule I needed). I do believe that I left a blank on one of the reports, could not hear what was said and I belive I left blank lines for any MD name listed.
It might have been something else, like maybe you did not hyphenate (5-cm incision), or maybe it was a wrong medical word.
No one ever tells you what you did wrong. Maybe you could e-mail them back and find out what it was. Just tell them you would like to learn from your mistakes so that you could re-apply in the future.
You beat me to the punch. - nm
hehehe
I think you are both saying the same thing. Why beat each other up? nm

Wow. That's really beat. There's a butt for

SHOULD HAVE BEAT THEM AT THEIR OWN GAME...SM
Sounded like a backstabbing, dirty trick to play. But if you had known (and the NEXT time they ask you for a list of worst dictators) you will know what to do...thanks for the tip for the rest of us: Just do a turnabout and give them a list of your BEST one...they'll send the worst to India!!! Kind of like switching drinks with someone who's spiking your drink when they're not looking (LOL)
BEAT FEET!
I agree with everyone. If this is an example of how they treat you in the beginning, just think of what it will be like after a few months!
IMO, TT is hard to beat
Nice people, including the nicest QA people I've ever encountered, low-key, let the MTs do their work without micromanagement, great communication, and a really generous bonus plan.
The account I'm on is on Escription but they have other platforms, too. I love my account and actually look forward to working every day.
I haven't been there very long, but I just can't say anything negative at all.
TT pretty much is the best I've worked for.
You are right. It is hard to beat the experience of having someone sm
right there to listen for you. I worked in a department where there were ladies with 20+ years of experience. It was amazing to me that they could listen once and knew what it was. Unfortunately, not many places offer inhouse training programs anymore, and even when offered, it seems that most people want to start working at home immediately. I have tried to mentor people by having them call me and play the dictation over the phone, but it is still not the same.
Nice to meet a fellow TTer 
Not to beat the break thing
to death, but I just read the responses to my question about the lunch/breaks and think I might have been misunderstood.
It is line-based pay (not hourly). I don't expect to be paid for lunch (that is voided out like other jobs). We work the extra time to have the lunch so doesn't affect our line count
It just seems like if workers are legally supposed to have 2, 15-minute breaks during an 8 hour shift but line count is based on 8 hours, then it's sort of like we really don't get the breaks (like if in an hourly-wage job, people got pay deducted if they took their breaks).
Am I making any more sense wording it this way?
New accts. Can I beat myself with a stick now? A-G-G-H
nm
Oh yeah...I can beat that one...How about the IT guy who tells who...
that the company has massively overhired on the account that you were just hired for. Hmm...could that be the reason why I have no money to buy my kids any Christmas gifts this year???!!! 9 months to go and I will never go near this transcription bullcrap ever again!!! This is my last Christmas ever again that I can't buy my kids any Christmas gifts!!!
I got that beat - three days to figure out it wasn't for me (sm)
Spent more time flipping through paperwork trying to figure out spellings for carbon copies. (CC to everybody! referring doc, primary doc, all docs on speciality team). Spent more time arrowing up and down the prefilled headings looking for the one the doc was dictating. Had to delete headings not used by dictator (but prefilled on form). WASTE of my time. Hopefully they've fixed all this mess.
I have worked at MQ before and I would say that HIS has them beat when it comes to playing dirty!!

Trying to beat the mass exodus. May be hard to
Not a chance in the world. Why would I let the company get beat up again sm
when it has been quiet for the past few weeks?
I think I beat the dictators on that made-up term -- deductionable ! Oops ! nm

I'd do it in a heartbeat. You'll never beat a hospital's benefits or job security.
I like the idea of going to my job every day, doing it well, and being done with it. You are not penalized pay-wise if you dont happen to meet your line count and the incentives are nice. I'd say jump from that sinking ship and jump aboard job security.
If you timed in for WEbinar let them know so they can take it off time card. Doesn't that beat a

OSI of Georgia
Yes, I'm positive. After a lovely conversation with a recruiter, I was emailed a lot of paperwork, and this statement was on one of the pages. This is not hearsay; I saw it myself. This was earlier this year; Im thinking it was March. Maybe it is something new, or something that was only on that particular account, but it was a paper that I was supposed to sign in agreement to being paid minimum wage if the client did not pay.
Its the one in Georgia

Do you mean OSi out of Georgia?

peachtree in Georgia?
Great company! I got paid what was quoted and then after 90 days was given 4 cent raise (paid per minute) which I was unaware was coming. I send my bill on the 1st of the month and the check is in hands within seven days. If it is the same company, I personally have nothing but good things to say about them.
What is up with OSI (in Georgia) these days?
They used to advertise on here all the time but stopped when the boards revealed the truth about their poor management and offshoring. I am thinking about returning only because they do have yearly raises and good benefits. What would hold me back is if they have the same ditzy unqualified, condescending QA ~manager~ and if they still micromanage through the darn IM. Someone please tell me things have changed for the better. I am running out of work on my present job and am late on my bills.
This sounds EXACTLY like OSI in Georgia

In Georgia any check above $600 that bounces can....sm
be just cause to have the writer of the check thrown into jail. Go to the sheriff's office and have them take out a warrant for the person who signed out the check - just be sure to show the bounced check to the sheriff's department. You're also allowed by Georgia law to place a lien against the business and that in turn keeps the business from getting a loan.
I'd advise this friend to stop working for anyone that bounces a check, and if they continue working then tell the company that payment is due in cash up front, i.e. when you pay me $1000 in cash up front then I'll do $1000 worth of work and won't do any more until you pay me another $1000.
