I don't see anyone asking for a pity party. I make way more
Posted By: $$ than you but understand the OP's vent on 2008-12-09
In Reply to: I have plenty of time because I get my work done - start looking
Leave the OP alone. She's only venting. You've said your peace, she posted an update, so why do you keep posting over and over the same insulting, degrading posts to her? Sheesh, what a sad, sorry, cranky, miserable person you appear to be!
To the OP, good luck to you! :)

pity party
Bummer. I sent my resume to KS and filled out the email questionnaire. They confirmed they received it. It's been over 2 weeks and nothing. I've got the experience and talent, but I guess I just have bad timing. I was really looking forward to moving on and they were my first choice. Oh well - c'est LA vie. I just wanted to feel sorry for myself for a while. Thanks friends, for letting me whine.
No pity party here
Thanks. You wouldn't know this and I'm sure you don't give two hoots, but, yes, I absolutely did start looking as soon as I realized I was in trouble, as you put it.
You don't know anything about it, and, honestly, I've had it with your posts. I won't say you're mean, because you seem to actually like being called mean. So I won't say that, don't want to give you the satisfaction.
I just think it's time for you to shut the pie hole now.
Karma is a complete and total you-know-what, and you've more than earned your share of it coming right back to you just by posting the kinds of things you have to me and other posters.
So when that special time comes for you, you'll get the emotional support you need here, undoubtedly, because that's how the REST of us are here. But keep in mind, there just may be a few who haven't walked in your shoes yet who will say the same things to you that you have to others.
Just remember that what goes around, comes around, and you've certainly earned your comeuppance....some day, some how, somewhere.
Maybe it won't have anything to do with MT, who knows, but whatever it is, baby, you've sure earned it....
Who said the OP wanted a pity party?
aa
You wanted attention and a pity party.
You got it from the other posters, but I'm the bully. Okay.... I'm being called grinch and bully, but I'm not the nasty one here????
Some people just don't want to be helped, they want a handout!
I have compassion, which is different from pity. Pity

Oh for pity's sake
There are tons of companies out there not on the board at all - I know because I work for two of them and never see anything negative at all about them. Did it occur to you the one's you see here over and over probably deserve much of the criticism?
So is Warminster. Pity some but not all there. They never worked for the MT at all.

I have no pity. Try being a single mom with two little kids!
.
They are a third party
that tries to save companies out there money. They have yet another company that does audits to really tighten the pursestrings. You go to their web site to get your line count. You get what you get, whether its fair or not.
hold up on that party
you may need it later.
Can't say how I know..third party source..
but I just looked at their site and I don't see where it says they don't offshore work...they do. Yes, they are US based but they do send work offshore.
Where I work, they had a party and
had door prizes which were envelopes with different amts of money and you picked one. For those not there, they put everyone else's name in a hat and drew for the envelopes left.
I think it must be getting to be PARTY TIME at these companies right now..nm
I think that may be one reason for the slow response from companies right now.
wrong party.. this was to Anna

Ha … wouldn't I love that. There'd be a big party at my place this weekend! :-) nm
Most contracts said either party can quit or fire at any time. Would be unusual to get locked into
s
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.
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.
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.
I make more than that with Spheris but never have work. I would rather make $1.25 and have work. s
My SIL works for KS, and she gets paid double for linked reports too. Where do you get $2.25? I am ready to leave Spheris.
Make sure you have some (sm)
money saved up so when they don't bother to send your paycheck or give you excuses, run out of work constantly or take a long time setting you up, you won't go bankrupt.
Okay, those using DQS, how do you do it? How do you make (sm)
your line count? How do you everything??? Is Instant Text V Pro anything like Smartype where you key in a few letters and the list comes up? I'm so stressed from trying to learn this program. Any, and I mean any, positive pointers you can share would so oh so appreciated!!! Please help!
Did you make more as an MT or are you
nm
make, not may nt
Well you would still make more if
you typed 15,000 instead of 11,000.
I make even less than that for IC . Nm : (
x
PS - I make top $$
well over 0.10/line on one a/c. Nobody does 20-25 reports/hr on this 100+ MD a/c.
Why not? Do you think they are just trying to make themselves look better on the
to all the outsourcing talk? It's okay now since they got a bonus?
None of what they make you go SM
through is really worth the job you end up with. It's a very average place, with average work, average pay. You can do the same elsewhere without the hassle.
How much do you make (FT or PT)? (sm)
and how are you paid?
see and I say take the IC, just make sure
you have a professional prepare your taxes and find a CPA who is up on at home business laws. I have been an IC for nine years. I get to write off a portion of my mortgage payment, utilities, etc. It works for me.
Me too. I make over $20 but you have to
get in with the right company. Do not let companies undermine QA by accepting positions that lessen our very purpose!
I will not say my company name because needless to say they do not get openings very often and yes they pay hourly.
I make 9.5 cpl as an IC with 27 Y sm
experience. I just started with them.
How is it you don't know what you make?
:+
I know what I make...
I'm just not posting it here.
I make more than that as an MT and am not available 24/7!
nm
MAKE myself
available to the applicants. The companies I have recruited for have told me not to do this, but sometimes you have to. I live on the East Coast and many are from the West Coast. I tell them if they have any questions to call me and I have had people call me as late as midnight with questions. Maybe that is pushing it, but to be honest, the recruiter is the image of the company. If you treat all applicants with respect and with what they say is worth listening to, tell them no question is silly, etc. I also am an MT and a QA person as well as a manager. I know how I want to be treated and I give it back to the applicants.
The job is a good job but it takes a lot of time. You really have to love the job to do it.
I make over $52,000
I love it also. This is with all benefits paid. I have many years in the industry as MT and QA. I definitely do not want to go backwards.
I make more $ doing OPs. nm

Right there with ya...I make 10-12 cpl
No way would i even consider 7
I'm with you -- there are a few that make me sm
want to pull out my hair by the root, but there are those types everywhere, not isolated to one company/account/whatever.
I averaged around 300 lines per hour at my previous company and average that here at TransTech, so I cannot blame them or anyone else when I have a low production day (that's usually because I allow too many distractions).
Sorry other people are having so many troubles. I was trained at a teaching hospital with hundreds of new residents from all over every year, so I guess I'm used to it. When I get any dictator, ESL or EFL, who speaks clearly and can form a sentence, I feel like writing him/her a love note. (ha)
I used to make that much, too
When my skills and experience were paired with my work, or when I had my own accounts on the side, I used to make really good money and I actually worked 6-8 hour days max. I miss those days. Work AND a life! It's getting more difficult or near impossible to find MT jobs like that anymore, though. Count your blessings, Betty.
I know, not much more....just trying to make myself
