In Reply to: Revised Medware Editor Pay - Struggling Editor

I have not yet achieved a line count sufficient to compensate for the pay revision but I have done better than I thought I would. However, I keep running out of work in editing and have to switch over to transcription, which those lines do not count toward my total lines per day in order to reach my previous pay amount. I, too, wonder how badly quality is slipping away and am afraid this will come back to bite me in the butt at some point. I don't have any information for you about another company to appy with, but wanted you to know that you are not alone. We are all struggling as a result of this pay revision.
