Anyone ever hear of or work for this company, IDS?  Just curious as to what they are like, do they pay on time, are they good to work for, etc.  Thanks very much for any info.

there will always be SOMEONE who undercuts or is willing to accept less.  That's why we are in the predicament we are in.  Fortunately for me, I don't do MT FT anymore and am not dependent upon it as an income. 

Others will do whatever they have to do to pay the bills.  They haven't come to the realization they can make more at McDonald's versus accepting the insultiningly low pay of 6-7 cpl for an experienced & highly skilled MT.

Great post.   What's that old saying, the only fear is fear itself?  I haven't had much coffee yet this am, so my brain isn't quite fully functional.

To the OP, I can't speak for MDI, but I do work for Landmark on a clinic account.  They have been great to work for.  Clinic work being what it is, there have been a couple of moments where the work slowed down - around the Christmas Holidays and then about 2 weeks ago when apparently half the staff was out sick.  I had a lot of really hoarse dictators the next week.  I also was able to catch up all my lines over the weekend when two of the docs started catching up on 4 months worth of dictation, so I didn't end up being that short after all.

The people at Landmark have been great and QA is wonderful - really easy to work with.

Does anybody have any recommendation on a good school --- I don't care to hear the negative - just the good stuff.

Thanks!

This is a rough profession. Everyone gets so excited when they hear we work from home, but don't know about the difficulty we can have achieving stability and peace of mind!

You said it.

Cuz I'm just a grinch and have poverty of the soul because I didn't provide comfort and joy as what some perceive to be what the OP wanted.  Pity party is what she wanted and yes at this point I'm beating a dead horse, which is maybe what I'll call myself now.

As for the OP, I guess he got off her a$$ and finally made that call since according to all of the posters that supposedly support her claim she worked 24 hours in one day to get her lines in.  Now that deserves pity!

I stand by what I say, and I mean what I say.  If the OP wanted pats on the back and awwww so sorry, then so be it.  What I said is true when there's no work I don't sit on my a$$ and wait at all hours of the night and day, I look for another job.  Fortunately, I haven't had to do that.

And yes, NY MT is correct in that everyone wants their cake and eat it too. What took the OP so long to make that call and get those back up accounts?  It took for me to shake her up!  But you all got her back now, so she'll be just fine! 

if the money in the paycheck is green, it will spend. 

Furthermore, no one knows who off shores or not.  There could be companies that say they do not off shore, but they do.  How would we know?  I say if the pants fit right, keep them on and walk around like you own the place instead of worrying about something that is not in our control.

Furthermore, just because a company advertises no off shore applicants does not necessarily mean they do not off shore.  It just means they also hire US MTs.
