that is something you can depend on. Whether in this business or not. I wish that for us all!

I hope they find something else too - and soon.

I hope E is happy wherever
E. saw me through some very very dark days in my life and treated with me with warmth, support, and compassion, and the minimal warmth I feel toward Acusis is solely leftover from the kindness I received from her. I hope that wherever she ended up, she is getting treated with the respect she deserves and that those that work with her now appreciate what a good human being they've got.
Welcome! Hope you find it rewarding! nm

Excellent, hope you find it
and it does sound like OSi esp. with the threatening emails to everybody, tsk tsk
I have been looking and hope to find a good 'home' soon! NM
oo
I am so sorry to hear that. I hope you find another position very soon.
nm
Lets just hope they are not overhiring lately and we will find we are all going to be out of work
especially after Summer.
Congrats! Sounds Ideal. Hope I find something just like what you did. NM.
Hi Happy, Thanks for responding, I'll be starting with them soon I hope
From what I can tell, it does seem to be a great place. Where you assigned an account or did you have some say on it? Can you share what other platforms you used? Did you use the Q platform before? How long did it take you to get up and running?
Could u please tell me where u work PT that u r happy? I need to find a new job too! nm

I hope DSG doesn't make the change

I hope that's true, might make me feel a little better...
Even if they are being charged less, the rates companies are paying MTs to do VR is grossly unfair. There is no way it takes half the time to do VR as compared to regular. You still have to listen to the whole dictation. Maybe 65-70% would be fair, not 50%.
70% - mine is a little higher than that. Hope they don't realize it and make me pay back. nm

Maybe Keystrokes doesn't want to be an average firm. I am happy there and find sm
that their minimums are fair. QA standards are very high, which makes me proud to be part of a company that cares about quality. Quantity standards are also high, but so is my paycheck.
IC often find make more on own rather than as

I make 9.5 cpl at Keystrokes and am very happy
I started at 9, and now at 9.5. I make excellent money there for less than 10 cpl because there is always tons of work.
I'm happy with what I make. I still make more than if I went anywhere else and hardly noone in th
biz gives raises so I feel blessed that I make a lot more than most, raise or no raise.
You make my point. Find what works for you. You
s
I wasn't complaining. I am quite happy with what I make.
My point was that experience in this field means nothing as previous poster thinks it should, and you have just argued the point beautiful.
I personally could care less what others make. I am happy with my wage and that is what is important to me.
You are being hypothetical while we are trying to find a co. where we can make a decent living,,,,nm

Make your own nest. Find a couple of good
accounts, multiple companies if you have to. Work on them every day just to stay on top of it. I used to bend over backwards to try to help where needed, but all I ever got was kicked in the head, so now I just do my routine. When they start appreciating people, (and not just an occasional 'oh how wonderful you are' when they are backlogged and know you can do a lot of work), by some type of recognition like a raise or promotion, then you can go back to being the nice guy.
When there is a lot of work, do you find it hard to make 1100?
cause I sure do.
Keystrokers do you find it difficult to make lines? Almost
a year ago I was offered a position with KS. There were lots of rumors going around about my company so I started looking, but I fell for the lies my MTSO told and stayed put. The rumors became fact and I had to find another job. I just cannot make decent lines with new company. I went from gross line to 65 characters, which by itself can make 100+ lines a day difference. The platform is boggy and I prefer to do Ops only, but doing everything but due to my scheduled work time and the tight TAT of Ops and I'm just not happy.
I was hired for an acute care account doing Ops at KS, but I can't remember any of the other details (other than of course pay). I'm thinking about calling them to see what they may have to offer (they said call if I changed my mind), but don't want to have to start all over again only to find myself in the same situation I'm currently in with no able to make lines.
Also, what kind of Expander can you use. New job uses SH and I really don't like it.
I have been a MT for four years and I make $1800.00 per month. I am happy with my pay at this
stage
your post doesn't make much sense. Find another job then? That's what the rest of us do!
If there is a way Spheris can make a dollar at the trans expense, they will find it.

It is not the hospitals on a short TAT it is what MQ wants to make the hospitals very happy with
them. I would assume the accounts are on 12, 24 or 48 TAT but wouldnt they love having their work back no sooner than it is dictated.
Did find a Wright Watson Sten-Tel in Austin if their site isn't old. Find 'em with Google. nm

Trying to find info on Encompass on this board, can't find any recent. sm
Anyone have any current info. Any employees out there? Give me the low-down if you can! Thanks a million.
Happy New Year. May we all have happy home lives (sm)
and do whatever it takes to make our work lives work for us too.
Right and told we should be happy we have jobs. Not too happy right now.

I can't say enough nice things about this company; very flexible, you area a statutory employee. That means that they pay the employer portion of your SS. Great on time pay, tons of work. Do your lines and you are left alone! Expect to be responsible though. Pay for your phone; rent a Lanier or a C-phone if you don't have one; BayScribe platform. Anything that is a bit of an inconvenience is more than made up for. You will know to the minute how much you will make and how many lines you have typed. Check it out!
I doubt you will make enough money in 5 hours a week to make
nm
I make 4 cents a line, work part and make
over $500 a week on part.
Great post! I make 0.085 at Keystrokes and make more than at any sm
other company in the last 5 years. Why? Because there is always work for me. I love starting work each day, knowing that the company I work for appreciates me and has plenty of work. Transtech and Keystrokes sound very similar; those of us that work for either can count our blessings that we are not part of the cesspool or huge corporate mess that makes up the biggest few companies. We do not have to worry about our jobs getting sent overseas and we see a future in this business!!!
Yeah, but we don't make what docs make. nm
nm
But we don't even make what in-house make.
It would be different if we made the same as the in-house MTs. In a lot of cases, most of the people working in-house make much more including benefits than we do at home as full-time employees. That's where I think the unfairness comes in. The in-house employees don't all work every single weekend. Most of them rotate at a much higher salary and much better benefits. The MTs at home are expected to fill in for the in-house for less money, less benefits and give more and more back in the form of weekends and holidays. Most remote MTs only receive benefits contingent on production, and even then they're not nearly as good as in-house benefits. How is that equal in the healthcare team perspective?
you might want to make sure you don't make yourself look like an IDOT before you go any further.

I make $1.10 per report and make much more sm
than by the line. Day by day it varies and goes back and forth, but over a long period, it is better by the report. Make sure they pay links though; this is key.
Do Shapin MTs really only make 6 cpl and QAs make 1.5 cpl?
/
Why can't you make money with all OPs? I do all OPs and make
good money. I'm not with WebMedX though.
And always make sure you don't make line
counts that amount to anything. They always place you with impossible ESLs as soon as you start making decent money.
Hope this fan ain't
nm
hope not
I certainly hope 20 hours per week requirement will not be part of the new rules. I think a line count requirement should be sufficient.
hope not!
I hope not, I need to work 50+ hours for them to make ends meet, otherwise I will have to get another job. Is it okay to work for two companies??
I would hope someone would
do the same for me if asked.
I hope I do not have a bad
experience with them. That is why I am only going PT and if it does not work out, I will still have my old job to fall back on.
Let's hope so!
t
Well I hope..
The facilities start to catch this and crack down on the companies. My part time company wants ALL reports looked over. We don't penalize for sending blanks to me and I do a quick read over everything (except for a few MTs who do not require this). I worked in Escription and what I saw on there was SCARY!!!
I hope this is better.
I worked for an offshore owned company where it was all about quantity. Company even kept a HORRIBLE MT just because she cranked out the lines. Didn't matter her quality was crap and was considered a joke by middle managment. India did most typing but with US edit. Typists changed regularly so it wasn't like they learned to do better. Quality would improve slightly and then would notice, after couple of months, that quality was crap again so we knew we were dealing with a new batch of typists. Even so, the push was always on to get the jobs off US edit and send Indian work straight to client. Of course, the clients never knew they were not getting US editing anymore, as they got no price reduction when they no longer had that level of work being done on their jobs. The problem is the facilities accept the crap work so why should the companies change. It took a while but I finally found a US owned company where quality matters. Now one of the first questions I would ask a prospective employer is if they are US owned.
We can hope so, anyway! nm
