Oh absolutely! I agree 100%. Especially when it comes to my company

Something terrible has happened to the work ethic in this country.  I have met so many MTs who feel entitled to high pay per line, easy work, no weekends, no nights, and who don't want to give even the tiniest bit of effort when it comes to completing their work on time and CORRECTLY.

I wouldn't want to be an MTSO for any amount of $ in the world.  MTs are too difficult to deal with and there are tons of them out there who are totally undependable and/or incompetent these days.

Okay, they obviously like you, but is their love for you going to pay your bills?  If other MTs have quit this account they obviously couldn't survive by working on it either.  The company obviously knows this.  I think they should be willing to pay more for doing it - and it sounds like by complementing you they are hoping you will feel appreciated and keep doing it.  Done that many times myself.  I have a too extreme desire to be appreciated, and I've had to learn to put that aside and make sure I can survive and pay the bills.  Even though I've worked for many great companies with very nice people, if it's a lousy account it just doesn't work. 

I say keep looking for a better account, either where you are or elsewhere.

of this person's capacity for selflessness and generosity, to the point of putting herself last in an effort to achieve many goals and in the face of adversities I wouldn't wish on the harshest critics here (although youse guys are tempting me!).  If you didn't cut with through her, there is a reason for that and I know her employer cuts to the chase much more deftly than you would be able to withstand so I know she backs this recruiter 100%.  They both can run circles around you.  You have no idea how tightly knit some MTSOs are and the ones here bad mouthing this person won't stand a chance getting a job in certain places if their lives depended on it.

Go sell crazy somewhere else.

I would love to hear about it!  I have 15 years experience, 14 of that acute care, need employee status with benefits.  I'm with the BIG transcription company now that is steadily taking away everything good about being an at-home transcriptionist   :(  Have been there 12 years. 

Any suggestions?  It's sure confusing going through all of these different companies, trying to figure out pros and cons. 

Thanks, I would love to hear from anyone who works for a great company! 

I will share this about the MTSO I work for.  I called her late last Wednesday night after Church and told her I was compelled to help out with Hurricaine Katrina in some way and an opportunity arose for a small group from my Church to go to Louisianna this coming week.  Would she be able to cover my work.  She told me no problem without any hesitation and even donated money for the trip. 

And I am sure there are plenty of good companies out there to work for.  To compare us to migrant workers is just not right.

I just have to add my 2 cents.  I have often thought of Amphion as strange also.  It is very strange to me that a transcription company thinks it is perfectly acceptable to keep their entire crew on mandatory OT for 5 months, really without much explanation at all.  They act like this is normal behavior.  The final straw for me is that they have made the choice to keep all the MTs on mandatory OT (an hour a day extra almost every day FT and PT employees) and take on NEW accounts.  On the team I work on, they took on a new account last week and kept us all on mandatory OT.  They are hiring and training people like crazy, but why would a company choose to keep their loyal staff on OT for 5 months and take on new clients instead of giving the new hires a chance to get in, get trained, help us get caught up first?  They are a very organized company though and send out a job status report every morning.  It shows the new accounts and all.  Do they think we won't notice they are choosing taking on new clients over giving their MTs a much needed break?

They are all about money and will never say no to a client it seems.  They do this without explanation to the MTs, an apology, a bonus or anything.  They do say thank you for your dedictation and hard work a lot, but quite honestly, that only goes so far.  Yes, they do pay us time and a half for OT, but gosh what about living a life.  I have a family!

And by the way ... they expect their work to be perfect as well, even while we are overworked.  Their QA is very tight!

Yes indeed, strange company!  Amphion does have some good qualities, but in my mind the cons outweigh the pros greatly at this point. 

Add me to the list of those from Amphion looking for other employment!

need to know!  As much as some of us may love doing what we do, I doubt any of us want to do it for free.  One of the purposes of this board is to network and share such information.  I know if someone did not pay me, of course I would go through the legal channels, but I would be screaming my head off here, warning everyone too.

To the OP, sorry this happened to you -- hope you get your money soon.
