qualify for whatever status you needed to get an incentive. Is this something you get every pay period if you meet a quota or just something quarterly. Just curious.

I didnt have the best experience with her either, but that was 2 years ago...not as flexible as you

Never heard a word from anybody. It was
If I send it out myself and respond to ads, I got offers immediately.
I worked for a temp agency for 3 years..LOVED it. Just worked. No counts, no hassels, GREAT pay..
No benefits at the time. I even learned pathology while temping (8 months on that assigment). I loved the variety, the ability to say I'm not available such and such time. I'd do it again in a heartbeat if I didn't need benefits.
haven't heard a word

There was a Vicki too that was at a few companies, but I heard that she passed away. I guess it is
I don't think small companies need recruiters, and I think the big ones have all shared them over time!
I worked on site for many years. I've been doing this for 10 years... sm
I've worked on site, at home, for small MTSOs, for nationals, for hospitals. I've been paid per line, per minute, and per hour. I've been an MT and a QA. I have ALWAYS worked weekends and ALWAYS worked nights for the shift differential because MTs can't survive on 6 or 7 cents a line. At least I can't and I type 105 wpm.
I've BEEN dedicated from day 1, sister, so you are barking up the wrong tree.
Guess my 28+ years over your 2
equals an extra cent per line. Last week, I was offered 7cpl for cardiology and they wanted someone with extensive experience which I do, was in on the original forms back in the day setting up echos and caths, etc. I think the american based companies are counting on us being desperate, just offer us a tiny bit more than they are making in India. unfortunately, our cost of living is not a tiny bit more. The lady doing the hiring even apologized for what they were offering.
Have done VR now for some years and guess what?
The same hospital, same platform and VR for some reason seems to just go quirky every once in awhile. This is something new my VR just started- under final diagnoses it usually would put 1 and then go to 2, now it has started messing up and misnumbering, having the first diagnoses besides final diagnoses and then the 1 that should be 2 is numbered 1 so then have to go down the list and renumber all. Another thing, has forgotten to put in periods in the last several months- even with the person saying it and then the next word is capitalized like it should be but I have to put in that period. Sometimes now will capitalize The patient in the middle of a sentence as it knows usually the patient is starting off a sentence. If I were you, knowing how long I have been doing VR now, I would not worry at all. Even though mine is exceptionally good, it does revert back for ?? reasons off and on. The mistakes I see now are not the same as say 6 months ago.
Nope.. never heard a word, which is fine by me. I'm never impressed when they never even contact
you hear how rude and unprofessional they are. Normally, I would not give any credibility to hear-say but all of this has to make me wonder. No skin off my nose. I tested with other companies and got called back within 24 hours.. Now, that is how a company should handle it..
Guess I didn't. Heard back within a day of taking the test, sm
but that was several years ago. Depends on current recruiters, I guess.
Word ZPressed or Keystrokes? Any info on either company? I have heard both are reputable
thanks
Has anyone worked for Adept Word?
Any information (good or bad) would be appreciated.
And I guess you have worked on all the platforms so
that gives you the ability to say better just to erase and type straight. Told at my job was not to be done. Anyway, who in their right mind wants to erase only to be paid 4 or even 3 cents a line for retyping? Does that make any sense at all? So many on here talking about no work, I will just take my $19.75 hourly rate for my 8 hours today and be very satisfied and I did not delete and retype, ridiculous.
12 years ago I charged a penny a word
nm
I guess 17 years of ortho exp. isn't good enough for them
Yikes, I guess that says it all for this field....I made that over 15 years ago!
Guess it's time to move on :(
I guess my major dissatisfaction working as an MT for the 15 years -
is that there no other profession I know where everyone usually starts at the same pay, regardless of experience. It is also the only profession I can think of that does not feel compelled to give raises.
There is just so much of MY time spent reading and responding to emails to comply with changes and specifics, switching to backup account, actually doing text on VR reports to make them accurate and not getting paid for it at text CPL, no work, downtimes, etc, etc, etc. that I don't even get paid for. Afraid to keep track of my time working and trying to manage my work and figure how much I make an hour that if I did, I would probably jump off the nearest bridge. (No responses on that - I have other skills and will get out of MT and head to another type of job before I resort to this).
I started my last job at the same rate as those joining the company with 2 years' experence. Haven't had a raise in 5 years.
I don't want to hear back that we are fortunate to work at home. I know any poster that comes back with this works in management, so spare us all your thoughts on that. The MTSOs don't have offices big enough to house their MT staff. They don't pay for our computers and generally not our internet, do not pay for our utility bills, virus protection and would have some hefty bills if we were all working in their office and they had to pay these bills - SO they do come out rather well -they just don't know how to share profits. Our cost of living goes up - no raises to reflect that at all. I am back to thinking greed is driving the MTSO businesses - but have known that probably for a lot of years. 3 CPL for VR some places and lucky to get 8 cpl for text - give me a break. Ready to throw in the towel.
And MTSO managers, supervisors, team leads, if you are reading this, please do not send me another IM with your picture sitting on a beach. That constitutes you had made enough money to take a vacation - I don't and I actually do the work, am a skilled professional with lots of knowledge, and this implies you got to take a vacation - you guessed it - ain't been able to afford one of those for a few years now. Put a picture of you at a keyboard or pulling your hair out over a bad dictator;-) which is what MTs go through on a daily, if not hourly, basis.
Has anyone worked for the Word Pros on an as-needed basis? Thanks. NM
Only if you need the experience I guess. I worked some real low-paying ones -
in the beginning for that reason. If you mean the letterhead and like page numbers, then no. But if you're referring to the headings like HPI, PMH, etc., those should be included. You have to put them in. I know at least 1 company that cleverly didn't pay for them. That was quite a few years ago. I quit in 3 mos.
I've been with AccuSTAT WI for 7 years. We don't use VR. We used MS Word to type in and depe
on the accounts, Dictaphone C-phone, regular c-phone or Lanier VXP player.
Anyone with info on The Word Pros or anyone who has worked on an as-needed basis? NM

I guess I have been lucky to have worked for 3 great companies. The only problem with the 2 before
is that they both were sold to companies that were not U.S. only and I refuse to work for any company the sends work offshore.
I am happy at Keystrokes and know that others are too. I have gotten everything promised to me, even though I must admit that I do not ask for much. I just want to do my work and leave my desk when done and then get paid for what I did.
I hope you find a great company that fits your needs. It must be horrible to be burnt enough times that you have to doubt everyone. I feel like that in my love life (divorced 3 times).
Yes, I have heard of same for years, too.
I don't think that will ever happen either. Its similar to systems being used now, EMR, etc. I just don't think that all patient care will ever be able to be just a canned push button here and there program. I know those involved, as in AAMT, want that more than we can imagine, but I don't think it will work at all in the long run. I still believe 100% that our industry will be around forever, and I also have a bit of hope that we may actually seen a lot of improvement in the future. We have to pull together, though, and make that change happen, somehow. When I was younger and was transcribing as the kids were toddling around, I had no time for thought. Just work and keeping the kids alive! LOL. I also believe in this industry enough that my kids are MTs as well, and making wages nearly the same as mine! How's that for odd! But now that I am older and wiser - Ha - I am willing and able to invest my time on work and trying to improve our industry. I have yet to write to the Union folks. But I am willing to get involved and take the time to try to help us. We all deserve it. I'm doing it for my kids, and if that's what it took me to get me mad, then so be it!! Bring it on, CEOs. LOL. I have to go now. I have to start work in 10 minutes, and I need my coffee.
I never worked for them, but heard they
are psycho and they owe several MTs money.
OMG! LMAO! So worked up over 1 word? Better quit posting, her head's gonna explode!...nm

Haven't heard of them in my 25 years as an MT.
Try a Google search and see what you come up with.
I have been an IC for 15 years, and I have never heard such a thing.
How would the IRS know what my schedule is or was. I just submit 1099's with income, take my write-off's, and pay my self employment tax. No where do I submit my scheduled hours or am I asked when filing my return.
I've heard of them but have never worked for them.
Originally, it was a mother/daughter team in Montana. Evidently now, the daughter's in Wisconsin but they still have an office in Montana. Nice enough people. I worked with the son-in-law for a while at another job. The workload is easy, but I don't know how steady it is. I applied with them when I was a newbie but found a job elsewhere for more pay.
Hypertype - anyone Heard or worked for?
I've been offered a job with Hypertype. They seem very nice, too nice actually and I was wondering if anyone has heard of them. They are based in Lake George, New York.
Thanks.
Donna
Hypertype - anyone Heard or worked for?
I work for Hypertype. Don't worry, they are not putting on a front. They are just nice people!
CyberSecretaries-Anyone ever heard of them/worked for them? n/m
Never heard of them. I've been in the industry 30 years.
