I would have handled this is little differently

at least to start. I would send an e-mail to the sup, cc the other QAers, and ask for clarification of the procedure to follow when things come up and an unscheduled break is needed, weather is bad, etc. The sup would likely respond to all. Then you would have her direction to quote if you get another IM like this. I doubt you would, though, surely they would realize you aren't going to play along with them anymore once they see your e-mail.

JP you handled
all questions and comments very professionally! Your posts and responses are a breath of fresh air! AWESOME!
It's not handled until $ has been paid. NM
Reading about how other country handled this, hmmmm
just on Entertainment Tonight they were telling about some pretty raunchy things, for example saying body found in net hose and other items that maybe should be left alone. It is not just other country giving out information, better look at our country also. Some of the weekly tabloids get things like this and run with it.
I look at it differently.
I figure if you don't hear about a company it's because they have work. The only ones who post here are the ones without a lot of work.
I work for a company that you never hear about because they have loads of work and they don't over hire. They very rarely advertise because they don't have a big turnover of MTs. I don't know anything about the company you're asking about. That could be a good thing!
Are they calculated differently or
is it just getting used to the system?
Would do it slightly differently
If you say NOTHING about rates it's off-putting for a potential client who just wants to know up front if they can afford you.
Instead offer some type of range - with the disclaimer that service is customized and rates are too...
You could say as low as for example - you can explain when they contact you what the parameters are for the lowest rate.
You do need a good accountant and if you will require contracts, you need an attorney as well.
others felt differently - NM
It is done differently based on the account so
I'm not much help there. Your lead should be able to provide that information.
Your place was run differently than mine, then.
Right off the bat, it made perfect sense to use one's hospital position to obtain clinic accounts. We knew the work, we knew the dictators, we lived local. As to the medical director displaying favoritism, I guess it would depend on how it was done. Ours was always very above-board about how the word was put out. Ours wasn't really a small hospital, either. It was a regional trauma center. But I guess there are some places that want to find ethical lapses even when none exist.
Sten-Tel is a tranny franchise. Different owners, all run differently, different pay, but still

I guess I see things differently, as I do not know what all of the hoopla is about not paying OT. sm
And Keystrokes is not the only company that doesn't pay OT. Transtech doesn't pay for it either, although they encouraged it when I was there. I was actually chastised once for putting down my real hours on my time sheet, telling me that I know better. However, it didn't bother me then and doesn't bother me now as I am just grateful to be able to work as much as I want to get the line count that I want/need. It is not slave labor -- no one forces me to work the extra hours. I do so of my own free will.
I have had some health issues and other things, and my line count with Keystrokes has been awful, yet they have been patient and caring, and I am grateful to be working for them. I realize I will probably get flamed, but that's okay. My opinion is just as valid as anyone else's, and I decided to speak up in favor of a company that has been good to me.
