OR - sm = small message; nm = no msg NM
nm
oh by the way.....*S* small message...sm
did YOU write the acronym book? HAHAHAHAHAHA -
Well, I've online over 10 years and on boards/forums and SM means small message versus NM meaning no message versus LM meaning long message.
To each his or her own *S* It's not etched in blood.....*S* Hope you have a better 2006. *S*
Keep both for while (small message)
more pay these days usually means slow platform or a lot of ESLs. but you don't know how the new position is yet.
Also - you almost need two as a given these days, the way work flow is. but you can't possibly know the work flow yet.
You need to work them both for a while before you can made an educated decision on what works for you, with you, and around your needs.
oops....in my message
I meant DTK Services
oops - there is a message above - lol
sorry 'bout that
just so you know, it is possibly to sign on FB using ANY name. small message
it does not have to match the email address you sign up with. I'm thinking suits could get on and you'd never know it.
Oops, there IS a message with "My take on IC"
x
Oops. There is a brief message to above post. nm
nm
companies change all the time - her info is old, she said. (sm/small message)
A turnover in managers,QA, leads, even recruiters can make an impact and happens all the time, so you never know; old info - grain of salt. newer info more reliable and needs to be found while considering.
How can a message be confidential if it posted on a public message board? nm
please don't put nm or call yourself nm if you have a message - nm means no message -sm
nm means no message. sm means see message. if you call yourself nm, then people might not click to read the rest of your post.
just trying to help.
ps. if the money is there, why does that particular person's balance say zero?
I can't give you the name of the message board, but it is not a free message board (HINT). There
Monitor, I hope this post is okay.
But that could be Leave a Message or Little Message! LOL
nm
Congrats! :) SM = see message. NM (no message)

Small co

About 50 MTs
If you need one (very small fee)
nm
Yes for a very small fee

Yes for a very small fee that is
Probably a really small co OR the sm
recruiter is temporarily assuming job duties for an account supervisor while they look for someone or maybe a leave.
Put your questions here and we can tell you.
Small MTSO
I am a small MTSO and I have two part timers that work for me. I try to allow them to make a good living but there are costs of running a business. I do the pick up and deliveries, I print, I buy the paper, toners, etc. I do the invoicing. I do the customer service. I do the QA, etc. So when I make 2 to 3 cents a line, that is sometimes barely $5 to $7 an hour after gas, paper, etc. I keep my line charge reasonable -- 0.11 to 0.12 and that allows me to pay 0.8 cents per line. But if my gals use their brains to use word expanders, templates, etc. they can make $16 to $24 an hour (200 to 300 lines per hour) which to me is fair. I pay them on time often first and sometimes wait for the check to come in. But you guys we do not make a lot when subcontracting out. But if a document is 400 lines I make $8 to $12 for the report and that is before all my expenses. So we are not jiving any of you.
Small companies
Please list the names of some small companies. I need to get out of a big national but don't know where to turn. Thanx.
To Small MTSO
No suggestions here except to keep up the great work and appreciation for your team.
I agree, don't waste your time on the ignorant's on this board that think everyone is out to screw the MT...it's a sad fact, but there are some who just have such blackened lenses to see through. It sounds like you really appreciate your team and there are more employers out there like you, really there are.
Not small, not huge. When I was there it had 350+ MTs.

wow, this is a pretty small

Three small accounts that I do by myself..sm
I do not do any type of billing for the accounts, just do the work like regular work that I download from the company...so I think that would be a good reason for a raise. But, I don't want to say anything to make them think twice otherwise because these accounts that I have are really good. Does that make sense?
Must be a small company
It is a small company. Sorry if you're not impressed with my work. It works for me. I could do over 1,000 if I wanted to, but this suits me. I have another part time job that supplies me with income also.
and that is only a small part of the
problems they have. Communication is nil, rude people to deal with, and total chaos.
Small companies not for me
I have worked for both and I think that small companies are very, very particular. Not that that is a bad thing, but ZERO room for error (everyone knows perfection is impossible 100% of the time). So if you can QA at 100% every single time with a national, a small company would be perfect for you. In all of my experience my lowest QA score was a 99.2 with nationals. Small company just made me feel extremely inadequate. That is one thing about communication with a small company, you can start feeling attacked for very (and I mean very) minor things.
HTH.
Not MDI-MD - they are a small company

small company
has anyone ever left a national company to work for a small company? just wondering if its a good choice to make.
small companies
Anyone give out some names of small good companies?
Small national
Try - www.milnertranscriptionservices.com
maybe ... small MTSOs can go either way .. sm
pay small because they are small ... or pay well, and say they appreciate quality work, and joke with you about other MTs they have on their payroll ..... and then you realize they are probably making the same remarks about you behind your back too.
TO: Small MTSO
see above post, it got posted in the wrong spot somehow.
small companies
Sorry about being so vague. I'm looking for smaller national companies - probably 100-200 MTs (?)
Small MTSOs that I know are not
The only reason they use subs is that the client needs more work done than they can physically do themselves. Most small MTSOs did not start out wanting to be an MTSO at all, but just having their own accounts. Then there is too much work and they have to use subs. And most of the line count is forwarded on to the subcontractor, not kept as profit for the MTSO.
I am just such a small MTSO and I make more money when I don't have subs because I can spend my time typing instead of listening to blanks, setting up templates, explaining format, etc., doing payroll, etc.
They do some ASR but a very small percentage, something like less than 10%
of all their work is ASR. I am not sure what the pay for it, as I only do straight transcription.
They do pay shift differentials. I think it's a half cent for second shift and a penny for third shift.
They are wonderful people to work with and for. Everyone I have ever spoken to has treated me well. Even the President of the co. has been wonderful to me and will take my call anytime I need to speak with her (which has only been twice).
I would go for it. I am so glad I did.
Its a small world
I just put in my application this morning at Webmedx. I had to go to a doctor's appointment and when I got home I had a message from a recruiter there. I think it is the same recruiter that I talked to 2 years ago with another company. They said I did not score high enough on the test to sign on with that that particular company. The person said I did fine actually until I got to the ESL portion and it looked too much like swish cheese. I wonder what the chances are that they remember that.
A small company usually can't
afford to lose the people they have, so you might want to speak to your manager about this and see what, if anything, can be done. It can be as easy as removing the MT's ability to reject the jobs they don't want to do. Great way to kill morale.
What small service?
are you talking about? How do you know this?
I think there is 1 small rad but there is ER. Schedules....
You set your schedule but you are expected to be there when you say you are. However, they are great to work around doctor's appointments or other things that may come up. I have never had an issue not being able to get time off for anything.
As far as QA, they expect you to type what is dictated unless of course it is a gross medical error and then you blank and send to QA. You do not get dinged for sending work to QA. You also do not get dinged for punctuation. They do expect high quality.
What small MTSO we could
apply for work there too
Even small MTSOs?
I know all the bigger companies are moving to SR, but what about small MTSO's?
Are they also moving exclusively to SR? I know of very small MTSOs in my local area that still are picking up and delivering tapes. Not that I want to be in the dark ages, just don't want my pay cut in half to be fixing a garbled mess spit out by the machine! MT's at my company who have already moved to SR are finding they are making a lot less money doing it. They get half the pay, but it does NOT take half the time to do the work!
Unless you have small children SM
at home and really don't want to put them in daycare, PLEASE consider a different field. Transcription is drying up in the US. There is no future in it. Find a career that cannot be outsourced.
we're really small
there's no one in the office on the weekends, or after 5 p.m. anyday for that matter. fret not, i'm sure they'll get back to you. VTS is a really small, family owned and operated organization, not a frenzied corporate giant. good luck to ya, you'd like it here!!
sorry - meant JLG not MDI-MD. I think JLG is small not MDI. sm
I also know that they send work overseas (JLG) but the do not advertise this fact. Maybe they are not doing well ??
no VR, yes small (about 130 MLSs)
quaint and cozy... no outsourcing, just slowly growing. we only seem to add on new-hires as we acquire more accounts, so we're never really over-covered. most days, it seems just perfect. maybe sometimes slow on saturdays and holidays, but overall, quota is a breeze to obtain.
Small MTSOs
should not comingle personal and company funds for many reasons, some of them tax reasons, some of them other legal reasons.
