In Reply to: I am working now. We don't lose the account - May be out of a job?
Why worry about them, when you need to worry about you, and the utilities and rent to pay. We MTs are really brainwashed. I used to be that way. I worked for a highly regarded company and barely had a check at Christmas. I complained and complained until I finally realized that I was walking on egg shells trying to do anything I could to please them to get work, and yet, they had no problem overhiring. Come to find out the bill collectors did not care I needed to walk on eggshells. Especially my car loan. They sounded like they'd break my legs when I got 2 mos behind. So, I looked at the big picture and realized it is not the company which is shorting me that I need to be good to, it is me... the person who is providing the labor I need to be good to... how to do that? Boost self-esteem, and do research to find a company which appreciates my skills and gives me full-time work and benefits (if needed) to keep the bill collectors from calling. Why do bill collectors think we are irresponsible? Well, we are if we sit by waiting for work to show up or not, working hard for a boss who openly states we won't have work or who does not provide as promised in the interview. I say, talk to the hand, I walk on solid ground, not egg shells, and I pay my bills on time and have a goal to put money toward savings and someday a vacation. Now that's the kind of company you want to work for, so you can realize those kinds of goals. Not the kind of company where you hope you can get by for the next month, the next week, the next day, on a box of mac and cheese not affording the milk. Believe me, I know where you are, BTDT... and trust me... do your research, work for a truly reputable company and pay those bills, rather than worrying about dysfunctional bosses. Good luck to you!

I don't know why I am walking you
through this. The info is there, plain as day on page 1. Here is 1 post from 2008: http://forum.mtstars.com/company/v/1/60540.html and yet another http://forum.mtstars.com/company/v/1/64665.html
walking
I am walking right along with you. I cannot and I will not be part of the selling out of the American worker. My father spent his life serving our country and I am a proud American. I live in a state where unemployment is stratospheric. (And where there are tons of MTs who are hungry for work.) And we are sending work to the other side of the world? Um, no. I'm outta here, too. For me, it is a question of taking a principled, moral stand. Wasn't it Cuba Gooding who said Show me the money? Well, apparently money will buy anything.
Many have paid their dues and see what they get? AAMT has MTs walking the plank
:P
When you start walking water feel free to critique,
but until then you're human just like the rest of it and we all make mistakes occasionally. Maybe you're the management that made the original posting.
sure sounds swell. Sounds like 2350 ln/day @ 4 cents/ln=$90./day
in order to figure how many line needs to be produced to make $500 per pay period. ie, how many lines an hour needed per 8 hour day --at your rate.
So say $450 a week would be $90 a day.
For example, if making 4 cents a line,need 2,250 lines a day, 281 an HOUR (to listen through and edit) to make this great wage of $90. a day FOR ALL THIS SAME SKILL, TO KEEP UPDATED WITH CHANGING MEDICAL COMMUNITY. nope Better at Jack-in-Box Pass it up.
Sounds like it and it sounds like you must tell them when they will be and no change them. Wonder
what you do when there is no work. Well, there will be a lot of problems with this whole plan if they dont get things straightened out with this no work situation.
Sounds like I'm the same age as you!

Sounds like she was trying to -sm
make you quit - probably because they overhired and have too many people. She probably thought she could bully you out the door and have one less person to have to deal with. I wonder if she treats others like that too.
I bet so. Sure sounds like them!!

must know this owner pretty well to be bashing him this way. How is it you have come to such an opinion? Did you work in an office with him? I would be very anxious to hear more of your scholarly declarations such as the answer to ending world hunger and obtaining world peace? Please, tell us more oh "wise" one....
exactly what I was trying to say! It sounds like they sm
are on the right track! Good luck to them.
That sounds exactly like OSi.

There is always someone telling everyone what excellent accounts they have, perfect sound, TONS of work....hmmmm....well, I guess it's nice that SOMEBODY is going to be able to pay the rent cause it sure ain't me.
Sounds about right, maybe even a little low. nm

Sounds low to me (sm)
 I made $3.00 page several years ago. With wages lowering each and every day for the MTs, maybe someone else would like to share their thoughts. Good luck!
It sounds like they are not
very technical-savvy if they need MTs to come in for training! I'd be looking elsewhere.
They can only say no, but it sounds like they can't...
...afford to lose you. YOU are in the catbird seat. Ask for the raise. Really. Do it, and best of luck.
Sounds like BTS in MA. sm
They will take 6 weeks to send you a paycheck for 2 weeks pay, trim 30% off your line counts to supposedly cover headers/footers, and stiff you for your last check if you leave. Leave while you are ahead if it is them.
wow. Sounds like you been there, done that. Thanks for

it might be what they call a vacation -- I wouldn't know really though, haven't had one in so long.
Sounds like...
the company I work for now meets those criteria. Email me if you'd like.
This sounds exactly like the what the
well trained office staff is supposed to say to negativity about the company. I worked for TC for awhile and learned the ins and outs. If you don't mind being overworked, underpaid, all the cherrypicking going on and don't question anything then this is a great company to work for. Not to mention if you are on the CEOs good side and work in the office you get paid trips to Disneyland for your whole family, and can give the MTs as much grief as you want and nothing is said. But if you do mind all this stuff, then as the first poster said run as fast as you can.

OMG! Sounds just like MQ! lol

husband has through work only the deductible is 1000.00 for in network, 2000.00 out of network. No payout until deductible is met,except for office visits. Unfortunately, only one of my doctors is in his network. None of my specialists are. And, the PPO network is very restricted. But we do have prescriptions. It used to be John Deere Healthcare. Now it is United Healthcare.
It sounds rather -

Thank you...that sounds better!
I could definitely live with that! I'm glad I asked more questions. Is Carlotta nice to talk to? That's who I would be speaking with and she seems nice. Do you get samples or are able to see old reports for the ESLs or any difficult dictator? That helps a lot, too. Thank you!
sounds like maybe........
 the police should get involved in this case. Too bad I do not know her, or I would definitely think about getting her and that other lady SOME jail time! Would serve them right, and then throw away the key!
Sounds like one to me

the same company I tried before this one, trained 1 days, worked 2 days, both with no work and quit.
It sounds like
somebody already figured the lines to be subtracted at 133 . . . is that gross lines from the original counting method? If so, then you would need to figure it based on 65-char so as not to cheat yourself. It could be quite a difference, especially when considering the weekly or monthly amount.
Also, if it were me I would tell them that my 65-character count line rate is higher than my gross lines rate (by at least 2 cpl), and that that is standard practice, which it is.
This sounds more like something
The button mashing and burping sound sort of childish. JMO.

Sounds like the same one I worked for. Trust me, don't walk, but RUN away from these people. She does everyone the same way.
ER sounds like the best bet then..
If you can type that much more on ER, then why bother with acute care? I myself like acute care better, but if I could make substantially more money with ER, I would just go with that.
Sounds like D&L
Beware, that is how that whole scenario started with them....
This sounds about right

That sounds like a lot more than
That sounds more like you are a control freak and this person also must socialize with you. Hmmmm, makes me wonder..... Get a life!!!! The OP is struggling with a line count she's been doing for three months, so what gives???? Do we need to know about your loyal employee and social entertainer? Not really! 
P/S: By the way, don't need you to hire me. I have my own accounts.
It sounds like they have been
treating their ICs like employees and got in trouble for it. I've never been an IC, but I suspect they want to continue to impose rules on their people that are not allowed, so if you are already having to follow rules about when you work and who else you work for, I wouldn't think it would make a difference to you, would it?
It also sounds like the HMO's - so why not get -

You aren't really working OT in the sense. So you take 12-15 hours to get your job done, but you are really only working probably 8 or less. If you're literally at your PC for 12 hours and not getting the job done, then wrong profession for you and you are being dishonest and lying to the company about your actual lph, on which they have to base the OT rate by law.
sounds the same...
scarrrry. So many people speak highly of this company, yet, obviously, we've haven't seen this.
Sounds like MDI-MD. Sorry. (nm)

Sounds to me ...
... like she was trying to call your bluff and got burned in the process. She may have never had any intention of offering you the position at 0.09, because she thought you couldn't produce the proof. The ethical thing would be to offer you the job anyway, of course.
However, just remember that you're WAY better off this way. Frankly, if someone had asked me for proof of my last pay - especially via my sending them personal financial information like a pay stub - I woulda ran away super fast.
I guess on the bright side, you learned something out of all of this. And by sharing your story, we all learned. Thanks for that.

...Firing someone was the high point of this bitter poster's pathetic little day. But, unlike this angry individual, that skilled MT probably transitioned to another company within the same week, still enjoying working from the comfort of her own home and chuckling at raging posts by angry losers like this poor soul. But that's what happens when one has marketable skills--Unlike so-called ''managers'' like this poster, who when their luck finally runs out and they lose their oh-so-important positions, would be lucky to get hired at their local McDonalds, getting their jollies bullying kids putting burgers in styrofoam boxes. Enjoy the view from under that bridge and your Happy Meal!
That sounds like them....
....I went to their website, but it didn't explain anything about working. Thanks for the information. Might be something to pass on by :-)
It's a rip-off, and it also sounds against-the-law.
Might want to contact your friendly neighborhood State Department of Labor 'bout that.
Sounds to me like he needs to know sm
if he can count on you to start. He's holding a spot open for you and you haven't given your notice yet. He needs to be able to staff that account by startup.
