I moved MANY times, but it was because I was single and on a budget, not because I was irresponsible

I lived in 5 different addresses in 4 years. If my rent went up, I moved. If my roommates and I couldn't get along, I moved. When the apartment had a pervy landlord, I moved. There were very valid reasons for not keeping the same addy, and they had NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with my responsbility. Then again, I had the same job throughout that whole time, which any recruiter would see from my RESUME that I gave them. No need to go nosing into my credit hx.

Budget
True. A long time ago a HIM supervisor told us high producers never to push bill payments up to our highest incentive level (live according to our means) because there may be times when we only get minimum (required line counts, etc) We were appalled at what she said, because we made a lot of lines and money. But, now that I have been in the business 15 more years since that was said, I totally agree. If you can't live according to your minimum then just live according to a bit over. But that should be it. The extra you get (those lines when things are not slow) need to be budgeted carefully and put in the bank for a rainy day or special thing or emergency. I know that is hard for some to take, but I have seen MTs get too expensive a car, with too expensive a house, based on the year they did well, and then they go crazy when they can't make the payments and have to work 3 jobs when things are slow. I know for a fact that they and I regret ever living beyond means. Just in my experience.
Stop putting up with adults who are children. It is IRRESPONSIBLE to go to a payday loan place. sm
As transcriptionists, we have options. We can take on more work with the company we are with, move to another company, get a second job, get our own accounts.
If everyone would be mature and take responsibility for themselves, there would be no problems.
By the way, for your information, I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF 3 WONDERFUL CHILDREN and I have been for many years. Transcription allowed me to buy a house, pay my bills and be able to buy nice things. I knew when I was getting divorced that I either needed to cut corners or earn more. I did both. My kids and I live in a nice home but my girls share a room and my son has his own. I pay cash for cars and drive them until they cannot be driven or are not safe. We eat at home with home-cooked meals rather than eating out, except when celebrating something like a birthday or good report cards or an award one of them receives. They have nice clothese, a clean house and everything they need. I work while they are in school but make every minute of my work day count, and I have an extra job that I work on weekends in the early mornings when they are sleeping and evenings when they are asleep. We have friends, go to church and have a close family. I have never had child support and have never had to be on welfare.
I budget carefully and have a savings account. I only make 35,000 a year on average but I make it work.
Excuses are just that. People need to do for themselves. If they have medical issues or a tragedy, that's one thing, but so many of the people I have worked with just spend all their time whining and none of that time making their lives better.
I am not going to apologize. I am not a mean person, just tired of hearing people complain about EVERYTHING in this profession. Yes, it has changed, but we still have options. Many other fields do not.
Learn to budget. If you need to go to payday loan places, it's YOUR OWN FAULT. sm
Your pay has not changed, just the dates. Why should that matter. Pay your bills when they are due. Don't spend every penny. Learn to not be paycheck to paycheck.
If you tell me you are not earning enough to get out of that rut, think it through because if you are a good MT, there are only 2 reasons that you cannot make it to the next check.
1) You can't afford your lifestyle and should scale back.
2) You don't work hard enough, long enough or smart enough to earn a decent check.
Both can be fixed. Stop whining and work.
A lot of times, if they need extra help, they will over 1-1/2 times our regular rate. sm
This is the equivalent of OT but you get it even if you have not done 40 hours already. I have also received AmerExp gift cards a few times for incentives offered. I think it depends on the account.
I do know for sure that they are working on an incentive program but I have no details and not even sure if they are still looking at it.
I do know for sure that I make more $$ with Keystrokes than I have ever made anywhere else.
Have not moved around a lot
I have not jumped around a lot, worked for MRC when they were around years ago, then Medifax and Speris when it was Edix, now work for a small MTSO. Am happy but no benefits, no incentive, get paid the same as a new hire just out of school, kind of depressing.
Ask to be moved to something else...
I have heard the same thing about BeyondTXT. It seems like two different worlds.
how have you moved on if you are here....try
nm
I have moved on
and kept looking for other employment, but I didn't know if I needed to email her officially quitting or what (how ridiculous after all this time...). I signed an IC contract, so I didn't know if that means I'm bound to anything. I don't know how this works!! Anyway, I'll just let it go and continue moving on - thank you everyone for the replies!!
I do believe they all moved now.

Yes, she moved
out of state of Alabama.
Wow...you just moved yourself to the top...
of many people's NO WAY list.
Oh, and your confidentiality disclaimer probably doesn't stop her from distributing if she was the intended recipient.
Mine was moved to an IRA and then
I just moved it to my new company from there when I became eligible to get one from the new place. Wasn't a problem at all.
If you have moved on, why are you still on this board? nm
mm
All the reasons I moved on
Gotta eat and like to actually get in touch with people.
I think she moved from Alabama, not sure...nm
xxxxx
just moved SS to the top of my list
If the word lie or liar was never implied, then what exactly did you mean when you wrote this in your earlier post:
Your original posting was filled with untruths
What exactly were you implying when you wrote that?
When I was there they ran out on all shifts, so I moved on. NM
x
Would this be DSG? Certainly what I noticed with the DQS software there. I moved on. nm
n
Wow! That's great....I think I just moved Amphion
to the top of my list! Thanks!! 
They recently moved to another office.
One of my friends who was recently hired was about to train, but that did not push through as the network was still quite down and the telephone line changed.
I have been working with them for almost two months now.
At first I had lots of files to work on (thanks to a new account they recently just acquired). Nowadays, they are a-trickling! Maybe I should ask for another account.
I have friends who used to work for FN and moved on. sm
FN has more than their share of ESLs and you very well know it. You are not only snippy, as someone said, you are condescending and misleading.
This is not true. This thread was moved. (SM)
This thread belongs on the Company board and it was moved. However, in moving messages all replies are automatically deleted by the software.
Goldbird
I know of someone that had a very negative experience with them and moved on right away. nm
s
It's a shame when a post gets moved
to another board/correct board - that posts made to it in the meantime are lost. I've seen good replies lost that way. :(
You moved me from the main, to here, now I'm Lost! NM
nm
Is it possible your posts were moved to a different board? nm
x
Actually now these posts have moved to the top 1/2 of page
s
It just means it was moved to the appropriate board. nm

I actually moved the monitor closer
.
I moved to Transtech and couldn't be
:)
We don't have the pool any longer- we moved
A Mexican family. So, I'm not paying for anything. The pool installers were American and lazy, broke the filter, and took all day and night and brought theird kids to play on my swing set and requested soda. The Mexican landscapers required no water, did not ask to use my toilet, and were done in one-half day with a lot of digging and a lot of stone work that would have taken a lot longer if they didn't work as hard as they did in the blazing sun. The American installers did nothing but cuss, moan, and complain about the heat.
As far as healthcare, we'll be paying more anyway once Hillary gives everyone who can't afford healthcare, free healthcare. Too bad, Americans are too lazy to work harder and smarter. I'm all American, born and raised, and I work very hard, but hey if the foreign entity comes along (like it did on my hospital job) and says they can do it cheaper, then what can I do?
Mine experience was the same..so I moved on...
nm
Alltype moved all account to VR
x
Unless Oschner moved to Bangalore, no.. that is not the case.

I just do it as a second job so I don't get rusty. I've moved on to a completely different car
x
Yes to Shorthand. I transfered mine when I moved over to KS from MQ. nm
nm
Yes..it is the same person/company. Guess they moved

There is a lot of negatives in the archives, moving to another state doesn't change that.
Wow, that's awful! I recently moved to another state and they have a WF here sm
and I had thought of opening an account there, thinking it was a big national bank and might be the best bet -- thanks for the heads up! I certainly do not need those kinds of headaches.
I think that really does explain it! I bet those accounts will be moved by December though. nm
nm
I am happy for you that your accounts have not been moved to Beyondtxt yet! sm
I will be interested to here your opinion of the software when they are moved over in a few months.
I moved this post to the Company board. NM
Keystrokes BOUGHT an office rather than renting, moved
less than 20 miles away, kept the same phone number and sent out the address changes after settled in. What is wrong with that? Do we need to keep everyone in on every detail? If so, I should tell you that we added 14 phone lines to the dictation system.
Management has only added people and changed TWO in FOUR years. What company, in and out of transcription, has the same management team in place forever? People move on to other companies, other careers, take time off, etc.
No wonder the owners tell us all just to ignore the boards; some of the posts are ridiculous.
Just as an aside so you know the proper terminology, a transcriber is a machine; transcriptionists are the humans.
Not anymore. I think the nuts have moved on and the owner is less stressed now. I see a sm
a much calmer atmosphere this time around. I've been back just over a year and it is night and day from four years ago.
Must be MDI-FL. Has its moments. Either too much work or not enough. No happy medium there. Moved on
No thanks. 
No, they built a new one last year and moved into it in October or November. sm
I think they have a really big office now, from what I heard.
I started as an IC with Keystrokes and moved to employee status after 90 days. nm
xx
I left them over 4 years ago. Best thing I ever did. Moved to Webmedx. Quite happy. nm
.
Same thing happen with me and I finally gave up and moved on--different stokes for different folks!
It is not just a slow time....they lost a huge acct and moved many MTs to other accts.......
nm
Not a single one. nm
