I should have said click "more". I guess you have figured it out, and you are most welcome.

I figured out how to register. Guess they have not tried to contact me at all. NM

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.
Don't do it. Click on your original post and towards the bottom middle click
on related messages and you'll find lots of stuff, one of it good.
Click on State Boards to the left then click on PA

click on your post and then scroll down a bit and click
on related messages. You'll find posts there and also there have been posts within the last couple of weeks if you'll scroll down.
There is nothing good to say about SoftScript.
click on your post and then click on the related
messages link and you'll find all the bad, but don't think there is any good to be had.
What is treating your employees as "more than just a number?"
eTransPlus has an add on MT Daily and has that statement in bold letters. Unless something has changed, even while I type this, or unless they have some employees they relate it to, then that statement is absolutely not true.... unless maybe, not returning employees e-mail messages when they are concerned about their job stability, i.e. running out of work weeks on end, or maybe conference calls where the "remote transcriptionists are on mute" and cannot express themselves, or only time you hear from anyone is when there is a backlog. I e-mailed my account manager for two consecutive days with concerns of not enough work on both accounts, he has yet to reply. But then, the work got out of turn-around time and there was a heavy backlog, and guess what--- the very same manager sent out an e-mail--- lets get that backlog down." We were out of work 3-4 weeks ago, now they have a post saying they are hiring. Whats up. Big turnover or what.
oops i meant "more than you'll get "

Oops,meant making "more" (brain lapse)

Just click on Play then click on Play again to pause dictation
I'm working in Bayscribe right now and that appears to be the only way to do it.
Play to play
Play again to pause
Play again to start play again
Hope that helps.
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 are only a click away. Wake up!

Click on your own message and
There is an explanation there.
when you click on any message, there is a bar above that says (sm)
report message, chat now, back and home. click chat now and it brings u to a chat room.
I think if you click on the post with
the arrow next to it there is a message inside that tells you where it has been moved. Also, any responses to the original post do not follow it to the new board.
Click on the Link
When I clicked on it, it took me to the Job Bank, and stange as it seems they had that listed as the company name, Fastphalanges. Hopefully the administrator can shed some light.
You should be able to right click on the files in
You could also double click the files. Make sure express scribe is open even though it shoudl automatically open express scribe.
To email them, you have to click on where it says .... SM
