I should have said click "more". I guess you have figured it out, and you are most welcome.
They did send the reports back to me. I guess I figured they
knew what I was going through and would understand that it would get better. They tell me that the account requested me off. I find that hard to believe as I have never heard of such a thing in 15 years of MT.
Well just imagine being even happier when you contact the company to follow up, and guess what? sm
You actually get the job because you show an avid interest in a job with the company. On the other hand, you could be just happy to know that you passed the test.
You have to help yourself! Go to Q-Net and register
to win the great prizes! Good luck!
Got to the site, but can't log in. Do I use my Q-net log-in info or do I register somewhere else

Won't let me register for the discussion board

Oh my goll, I didn't even register that she
called me a TROLL. OMG. That person should be beyond ashamed and karma will come around and get him/her. I have been kind in my portrayal of my experience. There were lots of other -- issues -- that were ridiculous, but which I kept mum about. As for being on QA a month only if there were - serious issues - I could post copies of emails sent repeatedly about a 4 week period of QA that was mandatory for all, at 5 jobs a day, and, yes, they wanted a definite schedule of those 4 hours, and advised all to keep their regular jobs until given the clear from them. Perhaps I would have cleared QA in minutes, but I just never got to find out at 1 or 2 jobs every few days. Give me a break! Again, a shame that an MT would be so rude. I appreciate your at least pointing out that I was not alone in my situation. I know there were so many posters stating same thing that the company actually responded on this board. It was amazing. Not trolls, just real MTs trying to feed our kids and keep our roof over our heads, too.
Manta has one. It is free to register. Link inside. sm
I have used it many times.

Got it all figured out!
I think I will be better off getting two physicians to transcribe for than working for a company. All these nationals are making BIG profits off of us. Most of them I am finding do not value their MTs. Any comments fellow MTs?
Thanks, I figured as much.

Figured it out
i know now, the Mountain Region
I figured it out
now know how it works.
I just figured it out -
I don't know why it did not dawn on me sooner what is happening. I work on a tiered pay plan - at my top tier I was making darn good money; however, there is never enough work anymore to get there and the supervisors tell me that they have to have extra people to make sure we get the TAT done. However, I am losing over 5 cpl because I cannot get up there now (due to lack of work, not due to my lack of trying).
I just realized, if we are doing the same amount of work just spread out between more people, they are paying less money per line, but still getting their big bucks - so where is their incentive to keep me happy? Never mind that I have always busted my butt for them, that they could always call me for stats even when I was not scheduled to work; never mind that I worked weekends when I was a M-F scheduled employee.
The bottom line is, the lines are scarce because doctors are not dictating as much, so they are going to keep as many people busy as they can so they pay out less on their end -
MAKES ME SICK!!! 
That's about what I had figured.
When I left one MTSO 4 years ago they were trying to force me into VR with the promise of tripling of my production to offset the 50% cpl reduction. So, see, it would actually be a raise! Win-win! It sounded fishy then when I knew nothing about it, and fishier now that so many people actually have informed opinions. Thanks for sharing that.
750 lph on VR? I figured it was something like that
The people who go fast on VR are the people like the one who said she did 750 lph. She is familiar with the dictators and perhaps the hospital and therefore is not slowed down by demographic verification, difficult dictators, etc. She perhaps started at the hospital when straight typing and then transitioned to VR. That is not representative of the rest of us.
I figured it would look rather "stupid" with 1 job!
I have to beef it up! Easy read, though!! Oh well. Thanks for the help.
I figured as much which is why I would not apply
for the position.
Figured this out about 3 weeks ago
on a Word document - I know counting program Word is not always accurate - but figured it would at least be fairly consistent for the document I was counting 3-4 different ways... bottom line was 15.5% reduction if you do not get paid for spaces.
I think i figured it out...at least a big part of it
They overhire and run out. They lose their good MTs to steadier places and can't meet TAT. Then they start the process all over again. I would not be at all surpised if they have lost accounts because there is some serious mismanagement happening. They need some better coordination and scheduling procedures. I left a few months ago and actually have work everyday now. :)
Thanks, searching, I figured that must be why. nm

Have you figured your error out yet?
nm
Well sounds to me that you have figured it out on your own. sm
I think that if you need to be home with your daughter and don't need benefits and your husband is okay with it, take the job. That is not bad money. Hopefully, the drive is not far from where you live. Good luck.
Uh-oh! I figured that was the case
Thank you for the info!  Just not what I was hoping to hear. 
Thanks. I figured as much. I have my resume
xx
I haven't quite figured out what to do sm
myself yet. In the same boat as everybody else, but tired of testing, hiring and then the job blows up for some reason. I am ready to just quit and go do something else, although I don't know what!
From what I just figured, I would have made
over the past week by the way this averages out approximately $170 for 1 day, $180 for 2 days and $190 for one day for myself if I were paid that way for VR and straight.
I just figured out the reason for the pay cut (sm)
They need to gather funds in time for this year's Christmas gift: The Second Annual Remarkable Wedmedx Cookbook, complete in PDF version! perfect format for printing at home! 'And we allow you to use your printer now--see how good we are to you?'
I figured they were growing, hadn't
ever seen them advertise until fairly recently. Makes sense to me, usually if a company grows they have to hire more workers. Haven't heard of anyone complaining of not having work.
If I figured on the same document why would this matter?
,,
Figured with research and networking somebody would know.
Of course I don't expect someone to answer me and tell me one specific company who absolutely has the best benefits. Maybe I should have worded that differently. I just figured someone would have some suggestions. Thanks for the advice on the private insurance. I may just end up doing that because out of three companies that I have spoke with the insurance is expensive and not worth it.
This is too funny! Yes, you've figured me out.
I'm the MTK serial killer.  Lock your doors! Hide your keyboards! I'm coming for YOU!
You're overreacting a bit, dontcha think?
Me, too. I figured it cost me about $1k a year to keep sm
it up. I had CE's out the yingyang. I miss going to the physician's lectures, but that's about all. It was a good run for a while.
Yes, and also figured into that is the loss of benes,
sick days, PTO, insurance, etc., that you would get with employee status.
first, don't hate on me because I've figured things out... and it really CAN be done...
I work 16-17 hour days. I average about 50.75 an hour for all 4 companies. I also get incentives. I work 6 days a week. I have 2 kids, a husband and 2 dogs. and I make the most of my 1 day a week off. I work hours that nobody wants, accounts everyone hates and I have it in the bag with normals, short cuts and everything else that boosts my productivity. And there you have it. And in spite of the explanation, there will still be people saying bull crap ... fine, say it ... but don't hate someone because they have it put together in a tight package that works for them. I spent 19 years eating crap from horrible companies, etc. I finally got the right mix and I'll work it until it doesn't work anymore
Nevermind, I figured it out mysefl. Thanks again for all the advice.

Figured out why teamleaders like accounts overstaffed.
They get a big bonus for meeting objectives of keeping reports in turn-around time. What a joke. We starve and they get fatter.
I think I figured it out. Is this person on the east coast? nm

I figured they were Indian when I saw "transcrbers." I hate that! nm
Years ago figured 10 words/line at .01 cpl gave us

You really need to take a chill pill. I figured you'd be worn out from your rants below. nm
Do any MTSOs hire part-time...I just figured out
that I can make just as much working part-time MT somewhere else than working at Medquist full-time as an MEE (what a joke). After 3 paychecks of half of what I was making before 7/1/09, that is what it amounts to. Might as well spend more time with my family, but I only see full-time jobs posted. Any suggestions would be great so I can have a life again! Much appreciated!
Still waiting for work, but I figured it out. WMX pays for holidays (sm)
but only IF you get your required lines/hours in. Of course the work was low over the weekend, but we expected that, and now EVERYONE is making sure they qualify for the holiday pay. Make sense?
You know, I never actually counted my lines myself, I just always figured my company's line count
Boy was I wrong! I just went through and totaled all of my lines, then compared them to the line counter, and guess what! It's wrong! Can you guess who I work for? SOFTSCRIPT!!!
They definitely rip you off with your line count. Figured this out long ago and quit long ago

Contact RBJ
directory, go to World Wide News, but keep trying. You may have a good fit, and company may or may not shut down, but plz remember her clients are reading this as well. Will the client base be there in a month???
Thanks! Please contact me at:
octobermt@yahoo.com with info.
Thank you.
If you can get anyone to contact you and
actually hire you and then follow through after that it probably is a good company. I was hired last year but never heard back from anyone and when I would call nobody had an answer for me.
I'm not sure, but I would contact them again as
when I applied, I heard back in less than 24 hours.
UST...no contact
I have tested with them, sent my resume about 5 times, still won't call me back to say yeah or nay, what does it take? Just shoot out an e-mail either way, I hate companies who never give the courtesy of a reply at all.
You may want to contact them, some of us have
been working constant OT...can't imaging you being out of work....
I would contact them at....
www.medwaremt.com for that information as there are too many variables. Good luck!
