If you're referring to the 20K-line post, I am NOT mgmt...sm

I make this type of line count because I'm willing to work on different accounts and work extra when the need arises. I LIKE paying my bills, so I am flexible - and that, in this day and age, is on of the real keys. Nothing is as it used to be when work was consistent and pay was better, but I need to pay the bills. I have a great communication with my supervisor, and that is another key. If you don't talk to somebody about your problems or lack of work of whatever, it cannot be fixed. I don't care if I have to learn every acct the company has - I'm going to do that, because it will ensure that I can maintain a good line count at the end of the payroll period, thereby affording me a better check.
The basic fact is that working for a company is no different than any other aspect of your life. If it's not working for you, then you MUST make a change. Complaining about something will not change it - and ultimately you will spend your life feeling miserable - and trying to make other people feel miserable, too. I choose the opposite.
I've been at a multitude of other nationals and, for me and for now, this IS the company that I'm happy with and with whom I intend to stay.
You can go ahead and flame away - 'cause while you're sitting here typing nasty responses, accusing me of being mgmt, or making negative responses about Transcend, I'm working away. Now if that sounds "condescending" to you, TOUGH!

Where is the post to which you're referring?
I can't find any that have the arrow 
If you're referring to me...(sm)
I do acute care with about 90% ESL.
but I think what they're referring to is that at MDI
we have no set hours, but a 24-hour window in which to complete our scheduled lines. So I can work for an hour, run to the school for a commitment, come back and work 2 hours, run to an appointment, come back and work til school is out, stop and cook dinner and help with homework, and then finish my lines in the evening. Some days I can't even start until evening. It varies daily. My life currently does not allow me to work say an 8-5 shift, it's impossible. So this flexibility is very important to me. I think that's what they mean by the time clock, being required to work a set shift.
Who are you to say something like that? Maybe you're Webmedx mgmt lurking, another thing that mak
Work is very, very low at Webmedx and there should not be a reason for it.
Bottom Line -- Mgmt always says that
cherry-picking is not allowed and will be dealt with; however, it very rarely is. If management is not going to take care of it, nothing you can do. Just type and go on. This way, you will get up to speed on these dictators and it will not matter in the long run.
I'd love to do that for you. But they're referring

I think what she is saying is that if mgmt were paid by the line, they would understand our position
When you depend on your paycheck to pay the bills and it varies from week to week, it can really cost you if there is no work or low work volumes.
Which post are you referring to? (SM)
You can report posts you feel should be reviewed for deletion on the Monitor board at anytime.
Which post uses the name of company President?

If you are referring my post...
I think it's pretty clear..
Referring to my post above --
My mother and daughter typed extremely fast from written documents as that is all they had been trained on. When I was in high school and before I started MTing, I could also type really fast on written word, but now that I am trained on voice, I can no longer type fast or accurate at all from reading a document and transcribing that document.
I sure hope you were not referring to my post..sm
I don't know who you were referring to but I'm not that person saying India rocks....that's a given....*lol*
I merely said that racism and false accusation are not a good thing...but perhaps you weren't even referring to me, now that there are a dozen posts or so in the thread....
Happy weekend to all...*S*
what bizarre post are you referring to? sm
guess I missed it
I think you are referring to my earlier post
and I am not in an illegal situatuation, though the poster who answered me tried to suggest that I am, or that I am somehow making the world less wonderful for other MTs.
If you feel used and abused, if your MTSO treats you as an employee when it comes to scheduling and as an IC when it comes to pay and benefits then you are in an illegal situation. I have been in similar situations and have simply chosen to move on. But I would not discourage anyone from slugging it out with their boss over the issue if they want to keep that job.
I simply don't want my personal very seaworthy boat sunk by somebody who has a hole in her own boat. 'kay?
OK, I'm lost. Are you referring to "I wish" post or
5t4
I wonder if referring to 2 separate post?s
I disagree, if a job is posted there is no reason not to give out the lowest to highest rate offer for the advertised position They know what they will offer FOR THE POSITION.
happens in other posted jobs all the time -- all the time, it is listed on the job opening. This saves both sides time
why not, only to find out some low rate you would not have bothered with, sent in a resume, tested for or interviewed for. I forgot one time -- forgot to PRE- check it out, got to interview and it was 7.5. What a waste (both sides) actually, but more for the MT wasted a lot of time.
When I use the word "you" in my post, I am not referring to you specifically but
all the posters on this board.
Maybe they're next in line to get bought out........ nm

Well, that's you're getting 45% of your regular line
try to work your way around it like I did. Do what's easiest for you, sometimes their way of doing things is bass-ackwards.
Your post is SO odd. 1 day, you're asking for help, running your whole
situation by us all, asking for advice. In less than 1 day, you have totally pulled 360-degree switch, to now working for another company, MQ is in your history, and you've got it all figured out. How did you come to this end result in 24 hours or less?? Or did you just feel like bashing MQ? Otherwise, your post is totally off on timing - now you're already a seasoned MT at a company who will refine your skills! In hours! Boy, you are good! But why ask for help??
Yeah, some places pay more per line if you're a CMT (nm)
...
Or you're paid by the hour/not line
Or, you are paid by the hour/not line.
Wow, if you're paying ICs $1.50 a line, count me in! nm
Anyone QA for DeVenture? Know what they're like, line rate, etc. no msg
sss
If you're paid by the line, and not for checking - sm
demographics, then the more time you spend checking demographics, the more you are working for free. A little bit of it is one thing, a lot of it is quite another.
I'm sorry you're in a bad place, but when you make a post
others who are currently working for or are looking for employment with Medware. I honestly think you need to give at least a little explanation instead of doing such a hit and run comment. But I really do wish you the best. I hope you get a better job soon. (By the way, I don't think anyone pays too much attention to Wilma :).
We're not allowed to post names or even
initials here. Their website might give some insight. The CEO and his brother own the company, but CEO is active in the company and he doesn't know his rear end from a whole in the ground and is motivated by GREED. He just kinds of plays it by ear as he goes and after talking with him you feel like you need hip boots and a shower.
Don't understand your post. I hope you're not sm
faulting the MTs who are stuck with dialup because DSL/broadband is not offered in their areas.
When you post something like that and sign it that you're not happy, sm
the bashers have a field day. I wrote a post a few months back that was taken wrong and by the end of the thread, it appeared that KS is the worst company in the world. To me, it is the opposite. I have been around the block too many times, and they are far and above the others out there including all the bigger ones and most of the smaller ones!
Things written on a public board can be taken wrong and can damage the reputation of a company or person. My daughter is going through a bad time right now because of a post that was supposed to be a joke. She's 14 and they are no different than adults when they see something to jump on.
Your "Two Cents" is probably what you're worth per line.
nm
see post below "if you're thinking of quitting"
that's the one.
You're right...that post doesn't make any sense...sm
How could high producers mess things up for the rest of us, when, in the past few weeks, we were offered incentives on most of the accounts to keep them in TAT by working extra?? And how could a responsible member of management even state something to that effect? The only logical conclusion is that this particular poster wants to discourage high production (on his-/her OWN accord) in other MTs to keep the pickings greener for him-/herself.
Well, you should have no reason to check if you're one of the MTs who gets good line counts.

Post from Sept. says Need to buy your own TransNet pedal & you're NOT connected to the net

Try re-reading the original post...you're missing the point
I agree with all of your post except the last line!
It means they do not have control of their money, will probably never be satisfied with their work and may have garnishments and other legal issues for me to have to contend with.
Your credit score is a very good indicator of how responsible you are.
Her post says the 9 cpl is per line (no mention of) - sm
gross character, but that the 8 cpl is for gross character line. So on that info. alone, I'd go with the 9 cpl, as it appears to include spaces (which it should).
Read that post below on hospitals? They're definitely good for great bennies! nm

companies that do not post line rate...
In some of these postings (I'm talking mostly about the big nationals here), the recruiters spend LOTS of time talking about what they have to offer but are noticeably silent about line rate. If a company has so much to offer, it should be proud of the line rate it is offering. It always seems like they are trying to rope me in in some way & then will spring the bad news on me once they have a captive audience, like a bunch of used car salesmen.
If I don't see a line rate next to pay/compensation I just substitute embarrassingly low & move on to the next listing.
I've had the thought that the listings should be divided into Big National and MTSO --- and within that, willing to show line rate and not willing to show line rate.
Anyone else?
Hmm, post is about skewed line counts. Could that

Before you knock the MT, check line #6 of your OWN post..nm
The above post proves my point! You are out of line and that was uncalled for..sm
not to mention utterly ridiculous to even read. Why are you reaching so high to make this MT look bad because she doesn't want to work a weekend? Get over it already. The OP obviously has a life, some of us do! Maybe it's time you get one!

LOL! No, I'm FAR from mgmt!
Nemesis would have been closer ;) Believe me, I have STUDIED this company and would be the first to zing them if I felt it was earned.
Former MQ Mgmt = HIS Mgmt
..
U'r KS mgmt - I do my job, so had better you
Only someone in mgmt at the co. would keep posting like this, and be so seriously upset. I can just see an MT defending someone they work for like this, LOL.
The IC co. I just left did the same thing. Always responding pretending to be an MT. LOL.
Like I SD - you better believe my pay better be in my acct on the day it is supposed to be there. Not 1-2 days late. You want me ON TIME on the job, you want me to be responsible, give you advance warning of days off, do a quality job, to work the hours I am scheduled. LOL - that goes 2 ways - you better do YOUR job and ON TIME.
Yes I am in Mgmt.
I see it as part of my job to check things and keep it fair.
A line is a line is a line. Doesn't matter if we are talking about radiology or acute care.
1600 is not a fair minimum requirement. Sure you can achieve 1600, it shouldn't be the required minimum.
U can try discussing it with mgmt but you will just
be discriminated against because u do not think what they do is the best thing since fried grits. If the program is so wonderful, why all the problems, the notes on the private board about major issues never resolved. Why does it break down every day? Why are line counts so hard to get? Say a word to mgmt about anything and u pay the price by getting nothing but garbage for dictators and garbage accounts.
They could save a lot of money by trashing this program and starting from scratch cuz MLS could actually produce some work on something decent.
