It sounds like you may be a little jealous.

I am not a recruiter, but you shouldn't not hire someone because they have a life. It is a shame that MTs do not use discretion when they need time off or need to shift gears so to speak. The fact that you know personal information, i.e., mother to the doctor, kids to school, is unfortunate. However, I would chalk this up to being honest. I do not remember the last time a company offered to take my children to school or to pay my electric bill for using my own computer at home to do their work. I am an IC, so I write it off, but if I were an employee then where is the compensation.
Have you thought for an instant that some MTs think 7 or 8 cpl is not worth the hassle of being CLOCKED every minute? I am a very successful Transcriptionist and do the work I am required to do. I work for a company that knows the true meaning of IC in that I work from a pool. If I cannot work today, then someone else is trained to do the work. If I can work tomorrow, then all is well and everyone is happy including my bill collectors.
I am one of those that does not like to work when my husband is home, but I am reachable. The fact that I have my own accounts is helpful. On the other hand, I have offered to work more, and told that there is no work. So, I go with the flow. I offer up Sundays and offer two late nights a week. I have also pitched in when someone took work and then had an emergency. Computers do fail, children do get sick, and if I were on-site I would have to leave for these types of situations as well.
I have worked on-site, and they were much more understanding that what comes from some of these rants regarding good MTs.
With all of that said, please don't clump us all together. In all fairness, there may be an MT out there that does get looked past because they do not have the required hands-on experience, but they may be a great typist, and no one will give them the chance.

We also work part time for MQ BECAUSE WE CAN............
now for all those down on us PT'ers.......go take a chill pill and MYOB.
What I do and how I work is NO BUSINESS of the *observer* nor anybody else.
I am very jealous ;)
Once the suits found out there was money in transcription, the overall quality and joy if you will of transcribing plummeted. It's all about the bucks now...
good luck!
Your just jealous!!!!!
xx
I still think she's just jealous
of the other MT. Too bad, too, because green does not become her.
I don't know, but I'm jealous!
Congratulations!
wow....I'm jealous. I put in way more than
8 hours a day just to get my $1500 every 2 weeks. I take it you have 2 part-time jobs at 2 different companies?
lol for one im' not here to impressss you- and you are jealous of s/m
Her making money and not having to work. You clearly do not have a clue of how disability works. If you break your leg---- YOU CAN GET DISABILITY TOOO --- Have mercy.
I think you have done bumped your head. As far as my grammerrrr goes (lol) I wont evfen commeeennt in thattt one ther.
I'm feeling pretty jealous of you...
Any chance at all you'll share the name of the company? I know that a couple of us here would love to join your team. (Feel free to e-mail me privately). I'm looking to pick up a little extra work at this time. I'm full time with a company now, working as team lead, and am basically happy there. However, the work has been low since the beginning of July, and it's just always a good idea to keep an eye out for a better situation.
Jealous? These are good people ...

They have to drive a whole 10 miles. I am so jealous.
WOW. They have to drive a whole ten miles. I am so jealous. Since MANAGEMENT is based in Madison, Wisconsin and it takes 20 minutes to travel from one end of the city to the other, I do not think driving through the snow for a SPA weekend is all that much of a bonus. Now Cancun. That would be a bonus.
That poster is just jealous of PTers. nm

I love it when people are jealous
and post negative remarks because a fellow MT is doing their job!!!!
Jealous of whom (you're a clairvoyant, right?
Jealous of whom? A pregnant girl wanting to start a family? I've had 27 months (9x9x9) combined pregnancy of my own, so the 'jealousy' accusation is in your head only, dear, but thank you for telling me what I'm (supposedly) thinking, anyway. And as for telling me to go break my leg and not having to worry about production I think those 2 are mutually exclusive issues - maybe you've learned to type with your toes, I haven't. As far as my worrying about my production (thanks AGAIN for telling me what I'm thinking) - no worries at all there.
If I were you, I'd brush up on my basic grammar and watch those apostrophes where they're supposed to be going -- you couldn't pass a simple third grade spelling test and worrying about production would be the least of YOUR worries!

Of COURSE I'm jealous of that trust fund!
Hey, then I WOULD be able to make money on VR! Without it...not so much.
I'm jealous! Is it gross line or 65 character? I am also
on an ER account with EXText but I cannot get near that. Any tips to share? I love working at Keystrokes but would love to get those kind of lines even more!
I find that people who call others fraud are jealous.
Many people are jealous that others have made something more. It is the difference in each of us. I am sure if the recruiter who calls herself a hiring manager says she earns $46,000 that she does. I might even know who it is. I know I earn more and guess what?? I know one more recruiter that makes more than I do!
Being a recruiter, I know that you do not go around telling the company you earn that salary for because that is not professional to name the company, but if you think it is not possible, you are wrong. When you have excelled in the industry, it is not only possible, but probable.
If you want to make that kind of money, do something wonderful with your MT work and go for it, but you can't do it if you do not have the people skills or the ability to analyze.
sure sounds swell. Sounds like 2350 ln/day @ 4 cents/ln=$90./day
in order to figure how many line needs to be produced to make $500 per pay period. ie, how many lines an hour needed per 8 hour day --at your rate.
So say $450 a week would be $90 a day.
For example, if making 4 cents a line,need 2,250 lines a day, 281 an HOUR (to listen through and edit) to make this great wage of $90. a day FOR ALL THIS SAME SKILL, TO KEEP UPDATED WITH CHANGING MEDICAL COMMUNITY. nope Better at Jack-in-Box Pass it up.
Sounds like it and it sounds like you must tell them when they will be and no change them. Wonder
what you do when there is no work. Well, there will be a lot of problems with this whole plan if they dont get things straightened out with this no work situation.
Sounds like I'm the same age as you!

Sounds like she was trying to -sm
make you quit - probably because they overhired and have too many people. She probably thought she could bully you out the door and have one less person to have to deal with. I wonder if she treats others like that too.
I bet so. Sure sounds like them!!
nm
Sounds like
MedQuist
SM - Sounds like you...
must know this owner pretty well to be bashing him this way. How is it you have come to such an opinion? Did you work in an office with him? I would be very anxious to hear more of your scholarly declarations such as the answer to ending world hunger and obtaining world peace? Please, tell us more oh "wise" one....
exactly what I was trying to say! It sounds like they sm
are on the right track! Good luck to them.
That sounds exactly like OSi.
nm
sounds like mq
There is always someone telling everyone what excellent accounts they have, perfect sound, TONS of work....hmmmm....well, I guess it's nice that SOMEBODY is going to be able to pay the rent cause it sure ain't me.
Sounds about right, maybe even a little low. nm
nm
Sounds low to me (sm)
 I made $3.00 page several years ago. With wages lowering each and every day for the MTs, maybe someone else would like to share their thoughts. Good luck!
It sounds like they are not
very technical-savvy if they need MTs to come in for training! I'd be looking elsewhere.
They can only say no, but it sounds like they can't...
...afford to lose you. YOU are in the catbird seat. Ask for the raise. Really. Do it, and best of luck.
Sounds like BTS in MA. sm
They will take 6 weeks to send you a paycheck for 2 weeks pay, trim 30% off your line counts to supposedly cover headers/footers, and stiff you for your last check if you leave. Leave while you are ahead if it is them.
wow. Sounds like you been there, done that. Thanks for
This sounds like a

Sounds like she might need some

Sounds like a really nice gift. Mine must have gotten lost in the mail LOL
Sounds like
it might be what they call a vacation -- I wouldn't know really though, haven't had one in so long.
Sounds like...
the company I work for now meets those criteria. Email me if you'd like.
This sounds exactly like the what the
well trained office staff is supposed to say to negativity about the company. I worked for TC for awhile and learned the ins and outs. If you don't mind being overworked, underpaid, all the cherrypicking going on and don't question anything then this is a great company to work for. Not to mention if you are on the CEOs good side and work in the office you get paid trips to Disneyland for your whole family, and can give the MTs as much grief as you want and nothing is said. But if you do mind all this stuff, then as the first poster said run as fast as you can.
Sounds like....
.....Focus
OMG! Sounds just like MQ! lol

Sounds just like what my sm
husband has through work only the deductible is 1000.00 for in network, 2000.00 out of network. No payout until deductible is met,except for office visits. Unfortunately, only one of my doctors is in his network. None of my specialists are. And, the PPO network is very restricted. But we do have prescriptions. It used to be John Deere Healthcare. Now it is United Healthcare.
It sounds rather -
.
Thank you...that sounds better!
I could definitely live with that! I'm glad I asked more questions. Is Carlotta nice to talk to? That's who I would be speaking with and she seems nice. Do you get samples or are able to see old reports for the ESLs or any difficult dictator? That helps a lot, too. Thank you!
sounds like maybe........
 the police should get involved in this case. Too bad I do not know her, or I would definitely think about getting her and that other lady SOME jail time! Would serve them right, and then throw away the key!
Sounds like one to me
nm
Sounds like
the same company I tried before this one, trained 1 days, worked 2 days, both with no work and quit.
It sounds like
somebody already figured the lines to be subtracted at 133 . . . is that gross lines from the original counting method? If so, then you would need to figure it based on 65-char so as not to cheat yourself. It could be quite a difference, especially when considering the weekly or monthly amount.
Also, if it were me I would tell them that my 65-character count line rate is higher than my gross lines rate (by at least 2 cpl), and that that is standard practice, which it is.
This sounds more like something
The button mashing and burping sound sort of childish. JMO.
Sounds like...
Sounds like the same one I worked for. Trust me, don't walk, but RUN away from these people. She does everyone the same way.
