    • as long as I meet my TAT - Linda
  • Most companies need certain hours - MTbird
    • as far as needing certain hours that would conflict with IRS - rules for IC versus employee
      • IC cannot be told I need you to work between 1 and 5 but they can say I need these lines by - X o'clock. IC says yes or no. nm
        • That was my point :) - NM
    • Most companies... - Linda
      • Must be a small company. 1000 lines/day is not that impressive. nm - NoFighting
        • I think it depends on how long it took... - HMMM
        • there is a midsized company with 900 lines a day - but heavy producers can't get large
          • Balancing act - Find your size company
        • WHy should I care if you are impressed or not. It it suits me, I don't give a darn if anyone - else is impressed. nm
        • Must be a small company - Linda
    • There are still companies that need your work by a certain - deadline and it's up to you to get it
      • But could you just not turn on computer that day and NOT do the work. Or could you call and say - weren't going to work that day and they were ok
        • I could call and say - Linda
          • Yes, but if you called off suddenly a couple times a month because you just didn't feel like - working, you would be unemployed. nm
            • I could call and say - Linda
        • yes I could but if I already said I would accept work, I don't - do that very often or will find myself
          • Exactly! MTSO needs a consistent IC that she can count on. Take off now and then but you - have to be dependable. nm
        • I think this could only be done with a huge client base, or a huge number of say only - discharge reports. nm
  • SM - anon
    • Good Companies - Linda
  • MT is a job, not a hobby that you just do when and how much you want. How do you expect an MTSO - to run a business under those conditions? nm
    • There are companies that manage to make it work. OTI, for example. nm - MT
    • I worked when and how much I wanted for years - sm
      • Thank you. nt - Good Sense
      • MT is a job, not a hobby... - Linda
        • Your OP "where I can work when and how much I want". How did you think we would - take such a statement? nm
      • MTSOs need to know the work is going to be done consistently. Not just when someone feels like - turning on their computer. nm
        • Considering some companies do give a weekly quota, maybe you shouldn't speak - for all MTSOs. ?? yes?
        • Ok then - MTSOs need to get intelligent enough to figure out how to - PREPARE for the work flow, and plan and hire
          • Walk in my shoes - Patti
            • Shouldn't you be factoring that into the bid and making accommodations for - that to happen in the bid and the cost?
              • Sure, factor it in, but no one knows what the future holds and MTSO has no control over those - issues. nm
          • MTSOs have no control over the factors that would make this - possible. nm
            • Aren't MTSOs the owners? Well if owners of MT companies - are not working up a bid, then I
              • The bid has nothing to do with consistancy of work. MTSO cannot control how cosistant work is. - Only facilities and Drs. control that. nm
          • Perfect MT world - MT is not a hobby
    • MT is a job - Linda
      • I apologize if I sounded rude to you - MTbird

              • placed=place (typo police abound). nm - MT
    • I was told to think of it as a career. - wow
    • I wish there was an icon that shows cartwheels and pom-poms!! I agree. Why - MTSO
      • And why do MTSOs treat ICs as employees? nm - MT
      • Toughest hobby I ever had. - anon
