Anybody working on Cquest, likes, dislikes?? good line rate??
Any information would be much appreciated....
would you mind telling me (sm)
this Cindy-person's last name. You can E/M me if you want, in fact, I'd prefer it that way. I worked for a Psycho Maniac named Cindy before, and wonder if they're the same person!
gapeachxx@yahoo.com...thanks a bunch! 
Would you mind telling me....
where you've gone. I, too, work for MQ as a flex PT, but would LOVE to get out. I used to be a SE too! All these changes are making me nuts, but I've been with them for 13 years now, and I'm afraid to make that move. I have 4 kids at home, and would love to have that scheduling flexibility! Feel free to email me if you want! Thanks for your help! 
I don't mind telling you
My clients tell me they receive bids for anywhere between 12 and 16 cpl. I won't say what I charge but that is what is out there.
Would you mind telling...
me where you work? Is is a small clinic or do you work for one of the big transcription companies? Thanks for the info.
Would some one mind telling me ....sm
or pointing me to the particular thread that will enlighten me as to why an MT's identification as become such an issue?? I'm seriously not trying to be nosy. I am one of many other professional MTs that post on this forum and have done so for years. Hopefully whatever is going on doesn't pertain to me, but the information may be beneficial in the future.
Thanks!
Would you mind telling which IC company? NM

Would you mind telling which companies, especially the SM
9.5 cpl? I love OPs, have been doing them exclusively for several years. Thanks.

What companies use ChartScript and ChartScript.net?
3M = SoftMed = ChartScript = ChartScript.Net
SoftMed was purchased by 3M in 2007. Both products ChartScript and ChartScript.Net are still available. Both have internal text Expanders that work well
I think when you have someone who likes
their co that that does not mean they are a cheerleader. I would think they are in a better position of judgment that someone who does not work there.
People are much more willing to listen if someone has facts to go with a statement. The OP did not give one fact in this thread that backed up the claim of dishonesty
Not everybody likes to job hop. We have every right sm
and are wise, to judge a company by what we read about it, what they offer, before we bother with them. Most people like to find a good company and stay there. This one just seems way to sketchy to me, and their line rate and incentive plan, regardless of what other posters may say, is really low. They charge rental for equipment, too, with is definitely a no-no in my book. If they want you to use their equipment, they charge a deposit, but not a rental fee.
I just came on here and it seems absolutely no one likes their job at all
I personally work for a great company that does a lot for its' MTs and is consistently bashed on this board. I do note, however, that almost every company is spoken about in a negative manner. Is this a board where people just come and vent frustrations? If so, I will not be visiting it anymore.
Hope you all have a great Memorial Day.
Nobody likes offshoring, but it's not going to go away.
You are only hurting yourself if you refuse to work for companies that offshore. If they can't get Americans to work for them, they are only going to offshore even more.
I am not going to argue with the likes sm
of you. Your word structure doesn't even sound like you are from this country. If not, you don't even belong on this board. Oh but I forgot, Why should this be?
posting for the poll
SS and also proud of it!~
Poll: school vs. OJT, etc.
I was just curious....
How long have you been an MT?
Did you attend an MT school, or did you receive on-the-job training?
That's all for now. 
Poll/question
If you were offered a job working for a company run by someone in another country such as India at .27/line would you take it ?
can we poll Heartlanders? Who has a job yet and who has a job that is better than the old one?

Best MTSO Poll
Who thinks they work for the best MTSO? Of all the companies, lets see who gets the most votes. I vote for Transcend.
That's why it's a poll :) . Trying to find out about

Let's take a poll-which platform are
you using at WMX? Enterprise or Chartmatrix? I think that's where the problem is. I am thinking one side has no work and the other does.
Poll: Take or pass
After reading posts below here's the situation: IC at company presently for a while which has lots of work. Decided to take E-Trans plus for security of employee position. Husband provides benefits. After reading warnings below:
1. Take and try out anyway, despite the negative feedback.
2. Keep IC job and do as much as possible, as it has not been a problem there and no need to stir the pot.
Just confused and seeking feedback since new information has popped up on the board. I am like the newhire below and do not want to waste time if job no good! Thanks in advance for your advice.
ELECTION POLL
They are conducting a poll on the politics board. Please vote on it.
Poll question
As some of you may recall, I recently retired from MT. I was wondering if the companies y'all work for would be more likely to hire newbies if they had an experienced mentor working with them? I'm not trying to sell the service of mentoring but by way of explanation, I met a gal via the internet who is just finishing a course. I think she would make an excellent MT and I would like to help her. As we all know, a graduate of many of the schools don't have a snowball's chance of getting hired. I would appreciate your thoughts.
Taking a poll about VR
Do you use the mouse or the keyboard to maneuver through your VR documents? Which one do you think is faster?

Maybe she works, gets paid and likes her job
Did you ever think that Wilma puts in her time, gets paid and enjoys what she does? I know I do.
Had contact with someone there recently who likes it, but they still don't have DD. nm

It likes to omit things too!
When I do a high-maintenance VR report (lots of corrections, dictator go-backs and formatting crap), I sometimes feel like this 
On guard!
Or even worse, like this  or  . Rarely do I feel this way unless its one of the rare well-trained work types/dictators that ends up in my queue of over 125 dictators on the account.
MTSOs GET A CLUE!!! NO ONE LIKES HIGH MAINTENANCE!!! If it's high maintenance it should be serviced accordingly (i.e. higher pay).
Not a nut. Happen to know someone likes slots.
A LOT. Too much. Keep slaving away for her, it's going into every slot machine in the country.
Poll -- or pole dancing
Sorry had to give you a bad time. All you are paying extra as an IC is 7.5% of the social security and you should be able to write off part of that. You need to look at both, see if the IC offers something to make up the 7.5% you will be paying. You also have to know that you have the capability of putting aside your own taxes and paying them if you do not have a husband that can overwithold them for you. But again if it boils down to the scare of the taxes -- you only pay 7.5% more as an IC for the social security. As an employee they withhold the taxes for you -- you still pay them.
POLL: Best Company You Ever Worked For!!

Is the OSi I saw down further under the poll for the worst companies
the one in Atlanta? I just accepted a position with them and when I researched the archives, I saw good reports only about a month or so ago. Tell me this isn't the same one I am going to start working for!
Transcription platforms: A poll
What company do you work for?
Is your transcription platform easy to learn and easy to use? Do you have to go to multiple, multiple screens to enter data?
How much downtime do you experience a day? How many times a day do you have to work with tech support to straighten out problems? How many times a day do you have to either reboot or fix problems that occur that you have learned how to do yourself?
How many lines an hour or a day do you average?
Poll: Is your MTSO low on work (please name it).

Consider yourself in the inner circle. She is great to people she likes but
quite the opposite if she does not. There is no pattern either, all a whim. I am lucky that she likes me, but I am afraid that the knife will someday be in my back.
JLG as a company has been great to me. Do not let the recruiter spoil the opportunity to work for a great company. Just grin and bear it because once you are in, you do not have to deal with her.
Nice to hear that someone likes this job. I have just started and so far so
good. It seems to me that those who don't like it may not have been meeting the criteria they require. They were very up front with me on what was expected and, as far as I can tell, as long as you do your job there shouldn't be a problem.
sound likes a good idea
and I do not believe it is just one MT...surely the company has at least a couple skilled MTs. TAT is the name of the game and is what keeps every one having work.
Dunno.... the powers that be spawned the likes of
I can think of some foreign countries that might harbor server-crashers.
POLL: Which companies are currently using Voice Recognition
I am currently looking to change companies, and from the posts I have seen, VR does not seem to be too popular, with a huge cut in cpl, so I want to put those companies at the bottom of my list. 
Could everyone please list their COMPANY NAME and if they are
Currently using VR
Planning to switch to VR soon
Any comments about cpl, how long it took to get back up to previous pay, and if you like VR would also be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time.

First poll on what constitutes fair MT wages
The numbers are in from the weekend USMLSU poll regarding fair compensation for full-time US MT employees:
BY THE LINE: All work types
- $0.11 per line base starting pay for MTs with 10+ years experience and scores of 95% or higher on pre-employment testing.
- $0.095 per line base starting pay for MTs with 5-8 years experience, and scores of 95% or higher on pre-employment transcription testing.
- $0.085 per line base starting pay for MTs with 3-5 years experience and scores of 95% or higher on pre-employment testing.
BY THE REPORT - Radiology and Pathology
- $1.10 per report for plain film radiology, CT, MRI, ultrasound
- $1.25 per report for interventional radiology
- $1.25 per pathology report
HOURLY PAY FOR MANDATORY BABYSITTING NO OR LOW PRODUCTION ACCOUNTS
Hourly pay would benefit those of us who spend countless mandatory scheduled 8-hour shifts babysitting overstaffed, underproducing accounts with little to no transcription work to be done. As it stands now, in order to sit in front of our PCs for 8 hours doing little to no work (because there is none), in order to be paid for this mandatory idle time we must work weekends or night shifts to make up pay and quota for benefits, or request to use precious PTO time in order to be paid to sit idely for 8 hours to fulfill an unreasonable request promised to the client by the company:
- $18.00 per hour base MT pay to monitor an account with little to no work - 10+ yrs experience and 95% or greater on MT pre-hiring test.
- $15.00 per hour base MT pay to monitor an account with little to no work - 5-9 years of experience and 95% or greater on MT pre-hireing test
- $12.00 per hour base MT pay to monitor an account with little to no work - 3-5 years of experience and 95% or greater on MT pre-hiring test
Please email your comments/suggestions/opinions.
This was a limited poll. Post your comments on
the Initiative web site, which I cannot post here because they keep deleting it, so ask around.
The more voices that are heard, the more input received, the more realistic the figures will be.
The person that posted that there are union MTs making $28 hourly with full benefits must have typed that during cocktail hour. It's not happening any where, especially not for at-home MTs who are paid by production and paid nothing when there is no work.
Focus likes to get these little holes in the wall and then kill them.
look at STP and oh heck, what is that other one that wanted me - Lartech - that's just 2 of them.
yes, justme, please save us from wasting our time on the likes of YOU!
stay home and type your 50 lines an hour and have a twinkie on me.
