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!

you got THAT right!!! Jealous.....sm
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!!!!!

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?
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. 
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!!!!
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.
Hope you're enjoying those slave wages you're earning.

So you guys feel you're getting paid what you're worth with VR?
I'm not trying to be snarky. I've never done VR, so I'm trying to understand.
You're happy with your paycheck with VR? Do you find the files to be as bad as the original post implied?
So you're telling me, basically, they're bad news?
They offered me 0.095/line and you know - it sounded too good to be true, but I SWEAR the recruiter told me they do not outsource. Oh brother... I just wish they'd be honest. I really don't know what to do.
Not the OP, but they're supposed to take out all the other taxes as you're an employee with th
s
No, they're not losing money....they're gaining!
If a company charges their clients by the line, I'm sure that line rate does not go down even though the MTs pay does.
ASR pays about 2/3 normal line rate to its MTs. Their ultimate goal is to have the MTs do twice as much work. Therefore, the client is getting their work faster, but paying their normal rate, while corporate gets that money and the MTs get the lower line rate.
Whether the newbies want to realize it or not, MTSOs have not increased MTs' salaries in the past 10 years. They still start out at the same pay as the last century!
This used to be a very lucrative profession. Nowadays, most MTs are considered to be paid at the poverty level. You don't believe me, look it up!
Hey, you're in luck then. They're hiring! (nm)

If you're an IC, you pay all your taxes. Otherwise you're an SE or employee. nm

If you're PT you're required to work
8 of your hours in one weekend day. There's no extra pay for it though.

We're not 'so scared' of it. We're trying to help
you to not make a huge mistake, but I guess you're determined to learn the hard way, so good luck with that.
If you're in the 37% tax bracket, you're making over
100K per year. Quit complaining.
You're right on it! They're just trying to cause panic.

driving away all their employees with the horrible new changes they're implementing. It's a mass exodus, and they couldn't keep up with their work load before all the departures.
We're glad you're gone too.
The more people that quit, the more work left for me. I love it when people say they can't take doing MT anymore.
Well, i hate to tell ya, but if you're an IC, you're

now we're getting somewhere....
Great qualities... absolutely. Can you be more specific. What type of communication do you think works? What doesn't? Concern is also important. But how far should it go. Certainly a company needs to be understanding if an MT has some problems, but remembering it is not the company's job to take care of someone, what about when the MT is not producing or working when scheduled? How long do you let it go on? What if the MT has chronic problems. What is the company's role here?
I can say my boss was ALWAYS flexible with my schedule, but I also made sure that I made up the time and the lines. I didn't abuse it.
You're better off
Someone else will appreciate your abilities.
You're welcome; here's what I can tell you ...
Spheris' family insurance is with United Healthcare and the premium for family coverage is about $180 per payperiod (2-weeks).
As far as PTO with Spheris, as a FT employee, you would earn 10 days a year for your first 5 years of service, then it goes up from there.
I hope that gives you a guideline to go by.
If you're looking for
and to be treated well, then you will like TT. They really are the best company I've ever worked, for and I've worked for more than a few. In this business of never meeting who you work for and not knowing what you're getting in to until it's too late, they are a breath of fresh air. They always pay on time, pay what they say they will pay, are very kind and honest. Good luck.
you're right...sm
when I was in school, for MA, not MT, my instructor said the ones taking the MT class were just waisting their time. I worked as an MA until I got pregnant, then worked as an MT after my son was born. I'm gonna ride it out as long as it's available. Then, hopefully I won't be too old to do something else!
Is it possible that you're having another
I may be an old biddy but when I was 17 it wasn't a computer that was sitting in front of me on Friday night, loser.
Oh, if you're asking me -- I don't know. I wish I could
tell you, but I have no idea.
They're far from going under.
They're securing new accounts all the time because they're a good company with a fair, honest owner and a wonderful support staff and QA, etc.
I hear there are one or two bitter ex-employees out there who do nothing but trash the company, and it's totally unwarranted.
so what you're saying is . . .
No brains required! LOL! Sounds good to me!
If you're sure...
I would contact my coordinator and ask. I think the system is set up only with and without ops, that's it. On the VA account I do, if any report is skipped, the MT is questioned. Melody sent out an email not too long ago about cherrypicking and I know management is now noting who is skipping what.
Not sure if this is what you're trying to ask or not...
OSi now has what used to MQs so I guess they just resent each other. I had a little of what OSi now has. I got paid very well for working on that difficult account. I won't work for them just because I can't see taking such a huge pay cut just to do the same crap I've been doing for years. I moved on. No reason for me to bash anybody. However, the complaints on this board definitely helped me make that decision and I'm so glad that people do speak out when they're not treated right by a company.
You're welcome! nm

You're very welcome. :)

you're right
and you're also pathguy, not radguy. Maybe I need to go back to bed and get up again. Duh. I'm going to tuck my tail between my legs and amble off now.
