But I heard the EXACT same thing (MTs can be sued) from the AHDI Conference this year in Nashville. It is possible and I, for one, don't want to be the one to find out the hard way because I kept my head in the sand.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but (sm)
and by the way, I'm trying my best to stay on topic - LOL, but you are replying to my post about not discussing pay. I am, however, NOT the poster who said cents per line rate means nothing, it's up to you, or some fluff like that. Sorry, you're getting mixed up with who posted what. Besides, poster who said cents per line means nothing, I do see what she means by that. You wouldn't get it, though, so I'm not going to explain.

No way...sorry to burst your bubble
Hate to tell you this, but I also tried and tried at TT to get anything even close to 1500 lines, and on my last job I had done 2000 very easily in 6 hours. The account you are doing is an important part of how many lines you are able to get, and the account I had at TT was a very difficult one than my previous job...also using ExText has a lot to do with it too.

Hope you haven't quit your job yet...I don't recommend going to TT...it seems to me a lot of TTers are living in a fantasy land.

I left after trying for almost a year to get a good line count.

Good luck to you!

Burst Bubble

I took the advice of everybody here and went to work for a company that everybody was rooting for. Nobody had anything bad to say about them. It has been a couple of months now and I have been out of work more often than not. I have been given 5 or 6 accounts total for backup, although no training because they expect you to train yourself by reading the account specifics. And talk about pressuring you to move to the speech platform!!!!

It turns out this place is not all that and a a bag of chips. I wish I had not paid attention to all the accolades now. They apparently were in a hiring frenzy for the new account and hired anybody who applied and now everybody is out of work. They say they require 5 years of recent experience which is not true because 2 of my friends who have been doing this less than 3 years were hired too. All of us are out of work!

This is a major letdown for me so here I go again looking for another job. All I want to know is not how wonderful a company is but whether they have work to do. At this point I don't care how sweet they are. I just want to work.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but...
They don't care! There are plenty of MTs who would be happy to take the job you just turned down. The only thing you accomplished was getting it off your chest.

Don't want to burst a bubble
But I have done the same thing more than once. Their interest seems to be computer-generated. In other words they may be interested without an opening.

My timing may just have been off - hope you have better luck.

Um, hate to burst your bubble, but...
I make 200-240 lines an hour now that I have left Amphion and work with a better platform. That's what I am trying to say. Their platform is not fair for MTs.

Didn't mean to burst your bubble, but
what I meant was with a company not hospital, with benefits, the most you can look for is 10 cpl and that is with shift differential.

hate to burst your bubble but
american-held territories such as the Mariana Islands (Saipan), Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Guam, etc. will allow companies to be offshore but still american. They did it with the garment industry and slapped a Made in the USA label on it.

Hate to burst a bubble...

I work for the Q and when the CBay buy out happened, many, many people sent letters to Oprah, Dr. Phil, Obama, everyone!!!!

No one cares (Yes, I care, but I am not important).

No one will touch this subject. Too many people are afraid to start something here. Like, if Oprah says something, don't you think all the Indians here in the states will cause a huge uproar?

There were so many girls from the Q that wrote local papers, had stories published and everything. It goes nowhere!

hate to burst your bubble but my guess is that
they will not even tell the clients - or they will tell them that they still have US MTs - even if they are not using them. Had it happen on a smaller scale and they made all those promises - took a while for the clients to figure it out - most bolted.

Hate to burst your bubble but psychs do NOT make that!
What a joke!

I had to burst your bubble, but they are offshoring to NyDocs or Zydocs or something like that.
It is an indian company. They are offshoring your work and have been for quite some time now.

OMG, I burst out loud on that one! NM

Hate to burst bubbles....but..

You will regret it if you go there. Sorry.

Pray that you never have a pipe burst in the middle of the night. sm
There is still a demand for graveyard shift plumbers, just as there is a demand for MTs with 'odd' hours, etc. Both just have to find the complementary company.
