tells me that she loves the job.  She says there is usually lots of work, except for the occasional holiday slowdowns that seems to be across the board for MTs.  She said that she never has a problem with getting her pay and she said that likes the fact there there are not a large number of emails coming at you and interrupting the workflow. 

the pay rate sounded a little on the low side to me (I'm thinking around 7 cents, 65 cpl), but she really didn't have a whole lot of experience when she started, either.  (We had worked together for about a year and I trained her as a new graduate before we both quit the company we were with.)  She really likes working for them; it seems like their trainers/QA people are really decent folks who give pretty good and fair feedback, which is something she really likes.

I do know they have benefits for both FT and PT people, which is pretty rare these days.

The real number rounds down to how much you averaged/ made an hour.

No matter how you figure, by the line, character, gross line, by the page, by the dictation minute  or whatever, it is what you can average out in a day of work.

You work 10, 12, 14, 16 hours and make $XXXX you divide your hours worked into what you ended up with

I would love to hear about it!  I have 15 years experience, 14 of that acute care, need employee status with benefits.  I'm with the BIG transcription company now that is steadily taking away everything good about being an at-home transcriptionist   :(  Have been there 12 years. 

Any suggestions?  It's sure confusing going through all of these different companies, trying to figure out pros and cons. 

Thanks, I would love to hear from anyone who works for a great company! 

So now you are wishing your bad luck on me!  Well that's the way to be; you all are no different than me.  Furthermore, no one likes to hear the truth.  The truth is that MDI looked out for their business, which is what you would have done as well.  Everyone need look out for themselves. 

I'm just telling it like it is and the reality of it all.  If or when it does happen to me and yes it has happened to me, I pick up and move on.  I would never sit around and wait for work to come to me. 

Do y'all have no sense at all? 

P/S:  Companies start at 9.  You have to look for them though.  Transcend pays 9 to start, so what's your beef?

Cuz I'm just a grinch and have poverty of the soul because I didn't provide comfort and joy as what some perceive to be what the OP wanted.  Pity party is what she wanted and yes at this point I'm beating a dead horse, which is maybe what I'll call myself now.

As for the OP, I guess he got off her a$$ and finally made that call since according to all of the posters that supposedly support her claim she worked 24 hours in one day to get her lines in.  Now that deserves pity!

I stand by what I say, and I mean what I say.  If the OP wanted pats on the back and awwww so sorry, then so be it.  What I said is true when there's no work I don't sit on my a$$ and wait at all hours of the night and day, I look for another job.  Fortunately, I haven't had to do that.

And yes, NY MT is correct in that everyone wants their cake and eat it too. What took the OP so long to make that call and get those back up accounts?  It took for me to shake her up!  But you all got her back now, so she'll be just fine! 

if the money in the paycheck is green, it will spend. 

Furthermore, no one knows who off shores or not.  There could be companies that say they do not off shore, but they do.  How would we know?  I say if the pants fit right, keep them on and walk around like you own the place instead of worrying about something that is not in our control.

Furthermore, just because a company advertises no off shore applicants does not necessarily mean they do not off shore.  It just means they also hire US MTs.

Ask to speak to the Director of Ops, KB. 

Hang in there!  To leave no work and come to no work is not good.  Unfortunately, the hospitals and other clients take forever to assign IDs to KS MTs.
