Thank you! I do have a lot of soul searching to do.
What is so frustrating is that I'm really a great Transcriptionist in all aspects other than the production and staying focused for 8 straight hours. If I can overcome those, everything would be perfect.
Thanks again for your kind words and great advice. I appreciate it!
Lucky You ... I was not so lucky to work with that platform
Meditech - it was awful. I kept getting promised that my account was going to ChartMatrix, but it never happened and the Meditech system was SO slow. I loved TH, the people, etc. - so if you can get an account that is on ChartMatrix - hop on it. But, avoid the accounts that are on Meditech because I don't think they are EVER going to convert (and I waited quite awhile - couldn't take it any more).
I thought it was heart and soul.

My, aren't you the kind soul? What that necessary? nm

Looks like her soul WAS part of the deal.
nm
Her soul, her integrity, her patriotism...
Yeah, actually she sold out kinda cheap, huh?
Or perhaps that really is all she was worth as a human being.
I'd rather exist on my salary than sell my soul (and the souls of 400+ others) to the devil for $16 million.
It's gonna be hot down there, D...better dress lightly :-)
I agree. And remember your heart and soul.
I did what you are thinking of doing, and got so burnt out, and angry because I was at the computer all day, and everything in life was interrupting my work... all of a sudden I started slowing down. No matter what I could do, I could not stop myself from slowing down until one day I just stopped. Got up, walked away. That was 6 or 8 weeks ago. After a leave of absence, looking at life differently. Now I am an IC, working at transcribing half the day, something else the other half (sales) with no set hours and making as much as one full time job. Managed to pay for a cruise for me and my little boy in cash by doing this. But, I had to walk away from the computer not go to it more. The toll this type of work all the time on my brain, my psyche, my heart and soul was too much. IF you want to make money you have to invest time in yourself and your happiness. Then, you may even make one third more not twice as much than you are now,you will be happy, and you will find that ends will meet. You know, it isn't all about the money, that is life. It's about what isn't money. Sorry to sound so cryptic. But don't make the mistake of forgetting yourself for work or money. ENjoy life. GOod luck to you!
MY SOUL WASN'T PART OF HER DEAL EITHER!!!
Or my ethics.
Well put!!!
I'm out of there, too.
No rupees for me!
Not a single soul here works for CIT? Did you sign a confidentiality agreement or something?! :) nm

InterPro Medical...Hope this doesn't appear to be selling soul to devil.... but
I am seriously considering working for InterPro (a company owned by India that outsources). Never thought I would, but I see they have BCBS insurance which starts in 30 days of employment, and other good benefits. I am a diabetic with hypertension and paying almost $400.00 a month for Cobra health insurance, which will expire soon, thus will be left uninsured. I've tried getting individual insurance, but no one will ensure because of my health problems. Can anyone give me some specs on InterPro, i.e. current employees, etc.., or any other companies where insurance goes in effect 30 days of employment.
Drop it already! ENOUGH! DONE! OVER! nm

Is there a reason you cannot let this drop?
We are all tired of all the nonsense, but seems to me you are tyring to continue it!
Drop Hyphen
Thanks for setting me straight and thanks for your time in answering.

I think you can drag and drop it.
Isn't that working for you?
Did they also drop the rate?
If this is the case, then this is why. If not, and it is as you say, I would start sending out resumes and don't leave until you have another jobtained and even work both for a time if you can, to see if you like the place. Some management style is punishing, they feel this is the way to do it WHERE it should be the opposite, people will work their guts out if they just be nice and fair. Start looking for a better place. Their loss.
I had to drop my coverage -
I could not afford to pay the premiums as I had no work. I was basically working just to pay that.
Also, since they paid on a tier plan, I went from making over 11 cpl to making 6 CPL at the same time. That is why they do not mind overhiring - they get the same work done for much less money, so that means more money in their pockets.
You do realize what MQ is doing right now is exactly what Spheris does. I still think they may drop
SE but hope not but Spheris does not have IC or SE so if there is a plan in the works MQ may just have employees.
Hope that stays the same because it is apt to drop
as mine did. Lot of us outsourced from a major hospital and went from salary and incentive to less than 4 months later VR at 4 cents a line, still make that but on straight it is 8 (over 30 years experience) but I average about $18.75 an hour and that is because of my speed only. When pay and incentive though over 40 thou a year so quite a drop.
You can drag and drop, but under the more button you
have to check the box that says remember player position. HTH.
Don't people who obtain the CMT normally drop the RMT sm
from the end of their name?
Comm Pg; request Help; use the drop-down box. nm

Just wondering - why would an MTSO drop
Not disputing you or anything, I just wondered why they would do that. It seems it is dog-eat-dog in the MTSO industry and I can't understand why they would practically give an account to a competitor.
Just wondering, not disputing here.
I believe there is a Drop Chute program but
I don't know anything about it.
Yes. I bought a policy when I knew I would drop below
production levels. It has a higher deductible than my MQ insurance but it was the almost the exact same cost. I will never tie my health insurance to an MT job again. Too risky.
Thank you for posting. I've been waiting for the axe to drop
because I can't get up to speed. I was expecting to be able to do 250-300 lph there because I heard how great their platform was. I do love so many things about them compared to other places I've worked.
While the acct does make a difference, the drop in pay
will make it difficult for anyone who has been a speedy MT to make nearly the same amount of mone. It appears to me that their goal is to put all employees in the $30-35K per year range. That's not good enough for me.
I should have listened to the warnings last year on this board last year, but that's okay - I've learned my lesson and will be starting next week with someone else who give me a CHOICE as to whether I edit or not.
I would call or drop an email inquiring.

Agree Completely. Will Clients Drop Us?
Those clients surely will drop the new entity first thing. Perhaps a new entity will evolve to cover those clients and will absorb those of us familiar with them?
Let's drop the subject. The issue has been addressed SM
by the company and resolved.
What scares me is a drop in pay beginning today.
Certainly, not the training; certainly not being out of comfort zone. In all my years as an MT I have gone through many changes. What I don't like is being put in a position where I put a question mark next to my check for the next rent, and for the future... That is what I am scared of...
Doesn't it make sense to be frightened of a sudden drop in pay when you have no other income to depend on? If I were salaried I certainly would not be afraid of anything... I would enjoy learning something new... but this is like no safety net.
Also, my car loan as well as my landlord expect me to have the same or better income on my paystub... what am I supposed to tell them about a drop immediately in the same job? They would certainly be afraid if they knew this were happening.
I didn't drop, the computer dropped a "k" but as a professional

Any Spheris employees notice a drop in PTO time? SM
Before we got 4 PTO hours a paycheck, now is seems to be 3.38. Has anyone else noticed this? Thanks.
You can make up your lines whenever you like. Just drop them and email letting them know that you ar

Must be your manager 'cause mine lets me off at the drop of a hat. sm
You should ask again, saying that you have extenuating circumstances. Offer to work extra during the pay period to make up any missing hours, if possible.
As for slowness, it is MUCH IMPROVED since earlier this year.
I hate to ask this question but do most MQrs think they will stay if MQ would drop SE status for
part time and full time employees if it was a fairly flexible schedule, of course, never like IC and SE.
On the MT side? They start off attentive and then drop you real fast when you need them. nm

Pay will drop significantly with Dictaphone EXSpeech 1/2 per line, or something to that tune. nm

I've also worked there over 4 years and I have noticed the work drop
Whatever left is the crap. Also, check your line count some time. I swear that they have manipulated that also. I can now do over 2 pages and it comes up with like 50 lines. I used to be able to make a living there but can't anymore. I'll be quitting.
Bad things on the horizon. Wating for the other shoe to drop. A sham indeed,
Indeed. :(
Drop them an email. Mine was stolen. I received a nice empty envelope.

they don't pay their share of the premium in any pay period you drop below full-time line count..

Lucky you.
Not OP, been here years and leaving shortly.
lucky you
you guys are lucky to be working. i need a job. just relocated to NC.
if you are really lucky you can

I wish I was that lucky!!! I pay $900/mo

consider yourself lucky
It's better you find out how horrific the communication is now than waste your time getting hired/quitting your other job, and them jerking you around.
Take it from someone who knows EXACTLY where you are coming from.
Well, you must be lucky...sm
Like the poster below, it took me 6 weeks to get my first check. Two weeks worth of work invoiced on the 1st was not paid until the 27th. That is beyond a long wait for 1 paycheck. Also, while I knew I would not be paid for headers/footers working in Extext, I was quite surprised when I got my check and 30% of the total line count was deducted. Considering the headers/footers only accounted for 5 to 6 lines a report, they were ripping people off big time. What excuse could they have for not sending someone a paycheck?
Lucky you!
I just emailed the payroll person to see about why the check I got was wrong and she says she only issues the check and she can't help me with any issues. I just would love a straight answer from someone and for someone to step up and do what is needed.
Your one of the lucky ones
I am no longer an IC for TTS nor will I ever be again or will i EVER refer anybody to her dungeon. LK has a serious problem with favoratism. If you are one of her goody two shoes that she not only pays on time but gives them all the good work, (cuz yes, she does cherry pick herself and give her favorites the good work so they can make more money) then you don't have any problems. Fortunately but yet unfortunately for me, I was one of those people that she Cherry picked for and when I got paid I got paid well, but I can't live on a not knowing when I was going to get paid. This is not a new problem for TTS. This has been ongoing since February of about 2 or 3 years ago, I can't remember what the year was.
There is no doubt that TTS has GREAT accounts, a GREAT platform, and LK does know how to take care of systematic problems, but she doesn't know how to run a business professionally, unless you are one of her favorites!
How lucky you are?
You must not work for a national!
Lucky?!
Your lucky! I worked for On-Point MTs and am owed $1400.00 that I will probably never see because the owner stole all the money her MTs earned...
I have a bounced check from one of the payments I recieved and never recieved payment for that or any of the other work I did for her.
Stay away from On-Point now and in the future. Her name is Bawnie Bartlett and her husband is Aaron Bartlett.
