Guess we all can't be put on good accts. Gotta be there at the right time. Both of my accts.

No. They dropped me to PT because
to their needs but it wasn't me it was the other girl on the account. Anyway they dropped me to PT, she quit, and now they expect me do to the account on a FT basis without giving my FT status or my benefits back.
They dropped the ball with me, too (sm)
I persisted a lot longer than I normally would because I really needed a job and had heard good things about them. I kept on them for weeks, and did eventually get hired. I was with them for quite a while but had to quit because I needed benefits. Still the best MT company I've run across. One account that doesn't run out of work. That makes a lot of difference.
Dropped you an email

Job postings have dropped because
we are in a depression. Yes, I said a depression. No one on television will say the D word for fear of scaring people, but do your homework. Our country's economy is tanking rapidly.
Someone said 30 straight dropped to 20 VR - sm
There's a thread downstream here about that. But I make 35 now. That's why I want VR to self destruct.
Dropped Accounts sm
How often have you worked for a company and they lost a huge account and you were fired? I am really getting tired of this career and really need to find another one soon before I go nutters. Company keeps screaming about TAT and hours and keeps threatening that they will fire us or the hospital will terminate the account. We rarely get any positive feedback, individual or otherwise, and when we do get one kudo, its always followed by a BUT..
Anyway, should I be worried.. Should I have another job just in case. I am an IC and get my lines and rarely work other than the schedule I gave but I can't be without a paycheck. We are barely getting by now.
Nope, I dropped OSi for another company.
BUT, I bet you are doing OSi's dirty work....LMAO!! Good luck...you are going to need it!
You are right. Even Bill Gates dropped
the whole idea of VR, saying that it could not be perfected enough to be profitable for the software company who manufactures it. You are also right in that if something inferior is sold to someone and it doesn't work properly, they won't even think of using it again. In my experience, the C-phone worked the best and even WP5.1 for speed and from my point of view for making the most money. I also used to use Mac and found it to be very fast and efficient.
When they dropped 's from eponyms they lost...sm
what little respect they have. Many doctors think transcriptionists are stupid if they type things like Alzheimer Disease instead of Alzheimer's Disease.
My accounts were not dropped. They were still going strong nm

Glad I dropped her a line
It turns out she lost my email and she was happy I wrote. I'm really glad. She's a great person to work for.
It's sad how badly new job postings have dropped
And those that are getting posted are mostly for places with really bad reputations and/or companies that don't respond to emails.
My line count has dropped due to CPL
I get taxes and insurance taken out of my check but my income went way down when cpl went down. At 11,000 lines of regular transcription at 8 cents a line my take home was around $800 (before taxes/insurance). When speech rec came out and we were not given a choice of regular transcription or speech recognition the CPL went down to 4 cents a line. Now my check is $500 (before taxes/insurance). It makes a big difference!!
My sister dropped her insurance. sm
It was costing her $350.00 a month for one person. She pays for her office visits in cash and gets a discount because she is under the income level. Same if she goes to the hospital. She gets a poverty discount. I think it is about 20%. Go figure.
sorry "most" of the time - dropped my sentence. nm

Ha! This is what dropped into my pool of its own accord. It was a "pocket" and that happens s
I am NO ONE'S PET.
I didn't drop, the computer dropped a "k" but as a professional

MQ accts not on DQS
When our office was closed we were all transferred to Foxboro because none of our accts at that time were on the new platform, they were on MTS. Some of those accts since have gone up on the new platform and some are still on MTS--either way we still have NO WORK
No more accts on WP5.1...all are now
on the FN platform, which is Word based.
yes to all the above - at least on the accts I was on.

Not the OP, but do they have net accts now, or still

Are all DRC accts on Cphones?? nm

They don't outsource VA accts because they can't (sm)
Contracts with the fedgov won't allow it. Funny how the gov't won't allow VA files to be sent overseas, but they don't bother putting a stop to the rest of ours going huh?
Webmedx does on certain accts, you have to ask. nm

Proscipt new accts
Nope..just takes some getting used to. I take all the work I can get.
re wav or internet accts
mine have been lower on work but not running out. I was told by my liasion that if there is no work you are not expected to keep your committment. I would suggest any of these things be directly discussed with your liasion so that there are no misunderstandings. Most any MT work will fluctuate some. I sure wouldn't turn away from MDI based on these concerns.
No Work Either and I am on one of the new accts

I have 4 accts and still run out. I am requesting another. nm.

MDI Lanier Accts
I, too, will be starting on a Lanier acct in January. Please keep us informed as to how you like it, as I am also curious, anxious to know what to expect. I worked on Lanier over 10 years ago, but can't remember what I liked or didn't like about it. Thanks for any info you are willing to provide once you get started and good luck to you!
Yes, they definitely are - new accts coming on sm
and there was a referral bonus notice put out a few weeks ago.
Who's going to manage their accts sm
while they're gone? I already have enough trouble having to press this and press that to get through their phone menu when I have a simple question. I'm glad they felt they need to give their STMs a trip, that must be where our Christmas gift went.
Dont know about accts because only
work on 1, my own doing. I do both VR and straight, 8 for straight, 4 for VR. Most days the work is fine. Slump every once in awhile.
I have no good accts, all ESL. nm
x
Maybe so, but anyone new won't be put on it. I had too many horrible ESLs on my accts. nm

If you like to be switched on accts all the time.

Do they keep changing your accts & platforms or do you have just 1 or 2

Any info on DonNik rad accts?
Curious specificaly in regards to the platform they use and if pay is acceptable/comparable to most other companies. Tks!
you have to go through w/any company if you work VA accts..nm

Me, too. Those of you that got great accts. be glad. nm

At least 5 new accts coming on this month sm

If there are backup accts then everyone should be trained on them
If there is no work and no backup account then there is a huge problem. Please clarify the above. Have you asked for a backup? As for working at Sears, Im sure if business was slow you would have to stick around but they would pay you for your time.
Execuscribe in NY has C-phone accts. Don't know about the

Ummm, well of course I'm not speaking for all accts..
However, I do happen to know that the majority of the accounts have ADT feed, which provides all the DI info right there...nice try though!
Some accts. might still be on the DOS software here. And mandatory OT
