If they were really on the up and up why not just state exactly what the rate is and SHOWING it instead of taking a regular rate and a blended rate, figuring a percentage, making 60% actually equal 67%, adding, subtracting, multiplying by your 3rd kid's birthday, and dividing by the company phone number and then putting it on your paycheck as regular lines, 13-15K lines, 15-17K lines, 17-20K lines, B lines, C lines, special 1 lines, OT lines, B OT lines, C OT lines, holiday lines??  It's ridiculous. 

If they actually hire you at 8 cpl wouldn't it be much easier and up-front to say you'll make 8 cpl for typing and 4.8 cpl for editing with 0.0025 cpl for each incentive level reached?  I mean if they're really going to pay the incentive on the whole amount like they say they are, why do they need all these complicated, misleading terms like "blended rates" anyway?  If you get other incentives on top of that, it's only included on those separate lines anyway, not the whole thing, so why try to make it look like you're actually making more on everything??

I have been paying business rates for over 15 years, you are doing a business so should be paying business rates.  If you are using it as a business deduction it should be a Business expense.  Perhaps then they will lower the business rate.

message well put.

too many people who still believe they are the corp are actually doing THEM a favor by ALLOWING  them work from home (as opposed to the reality of drastically, drastically reduced overhead for the corp) that they will take just about any slap in the face as long as they can sit on their behinds at home. You see repeatedly I want to stay home with little jonnie and little billie. I want to work when I feel like it. I don't to work weekends.

accounts and make just as much as a company, then what you are proposing is a mute issue.  There are MTs that charge 16 cpl and some charge 10 cpl to do the same type of work.  When I worked on-site, someone starting out new to the hospital made just as much as me or even more even though I had been there for 10 plus years. 

This profession has many variables.  This profession depends on what the facilities and/or clients are willing to pay for our services.  If this profession went hourly rate, then you would have low producers, which is not fair. 

I agree to boycott the low paying MTSOs, but there will always be someone who is willing to work for that wage even if that's to gain experience. 

I also believe that just because you have 10 years of experience that does not make you worth more money so to speak.  You still will need to prove yourself in ths profession. 

I have been very fortunate, so I am able to say no to low-paying jobs since I have my own accounts, but I know that is not for everyone. 

Please consider these factors any and everyone getting into this profession in this day and age. 

If you know this person, you also know that she most definitely WILL land on her feet.  She is one of the nicest, kindest, most intelligent, dedicated and caring people that I know.

Someone here mentioned loyalty, and she was 200% dedicated to OTI for the years she was there, so that's why so many of us were so shocked when this news was sent out yesterday.

I'm still trying to wrap my mind around this.  I won't post on their company board for obvious reasons, but if she lands at another company and is need of another good transcriptionist, tell her to contact me through THIS board.  My loyalty is to her, not to them.  Not after this.

I don't care what anyone says; this company is still #1 to me.  Everyone runs into situations no matter what.  They are being very fair about it, not surprising as they are always fair and always right there to compensate us when inconveniencing issues arise.  While it is difficult not knowing what the situation is, it is not fair to pass any sort of judgement or speculate anything about this company.  Are they still the perfect company ....absolutely, still in my book.  I guess they are allowed to make a mistake every now and the....Just my personal opinion.
