In Reply to: BRAVO, Single Mom!!! You are 100% correct: Daycare is not s/m - Anna
SCHOOL and DAY CARE never replace a mother. A 2 person family with a stay at home mom does not make a great kid. I see messed up kids from stay at home families all the time, the wealthier they are sometimes, the more entitled and into alcohol and drugs the kids turn out. A child sees the mother providing for them and it makes them feel loved and secure. I do not want my daughter to be a stay at home mom. I was her to have a career and to always have confidence and to be able to support her family whether there is a husband or not. Not all husbands make enough to keep a family going. Some people are just very narrow minded.

"ONLY a profession of predominantly women would call the other women crazy for wanting the basics
If this were a male-predominant industry, I can guarantee you the companies would be offering more or else they wouldn't have any workers. Men don't stand for the stuff women do. I don't understand why women do not think they are worth a fair wage, decent benefits, and a little vacation time here and there. Many say this is just a part-time gig while they raise a family. Does that mean your time is less valuable? I just don't get it.
Hmm....working on the holidays, PMS, kids home from school, wanting to find a better job but can'
s
With all those screaming kids?? Good luck - I'd rather be an MT
I agree! I was very unhappy working for them.
You ought to get your resume polished up and look elsewhere. Lots of better MT positions out there!!
Agree...before working in MT I applied
for a certain position and it was 3 months before I was called in to interview for it. I did not panic, nor did I call the company and bug them about it. I went on with my life. When they called, I went in and interviewed and was hired because I really wanted the job and the pay was excellent. Sometimes it just takes time.
I agree - tired of working for nothing
Considering leaving the field all together
I agree...not all bad. Initially was very excited about working for them.
As far as the Shorthand program, I don't know - could just be my particular program. All I know is it cost me a lot of time adding in just the basics of what I needed.
Management couldn't have been better, and communication was there, but that only goes so far.
I was also off QA after a week, but I would rather not have been. I was pretty unsure about a lot of things regarding account specifics that were unclear, so I sent a lot of reports to QA anyway. For the most part QA was reasonable, but there were some things that I thought were not. Just one example that has stuck with me: The doc said, She gets her meds from (s/l) parcel (I thought, as in parcel post). Then I thought it might be a drugstore named Parcell/Parsell. I also thought it might be some type of state program where they paid for meds in part, as in partial. So I went searching account specs for parcel/partial, and didn't find anything - ended up leaving a blank. Well, when I got my QA back, I was told it was Parshall - it's on the account specs - and I should have found it. Lo and behold, it was there ok - on the cities list! After that, I wasted even more time searching account specifics, second-guessing myself, afraid I would miss something, fretting over the most minute things that had nothing to do with patient care whatsoever. I should have felt free to leave a blank after searching the first time and wait for QA feedback, but because of the example above, I didn't.
I finally got a grip and quit, and I'll never put myself in a position like that again.
You sure cannot tell others here about your VR working good
I also use Escription and like yours, mine hardly gets a thing wrong. I have tried explaining this, but no one seems to think VR is anything but garbage. I guess we are lucky if we have to be on a system, we have the one we are on, right?
I agree. I was thanked for working extra the end of last week and told of some MTs on my job type
who were out due to illness or vacation and that we were getting behind. Same as the message this morning....the minutes were building up. Seems things are a bit desperate at this point and we all just need to quit trying to read into the situation and pitch in and get the work back under control. OUR company needs OUR help, and we need to pitch in 200% or we may very well find ourselves without an account to work on. I don't think it was a threat this morning - I think it could happen.
I kinda agree. I enjoy working at TT, but this kind of "overkill" is why people sm
get tired of us talking so much on here. Every place I have ever worked has always paid early if the pay day fell on a holiday. Granted, they do not have to, and it is a nice and considerate thing to do, but hardly so much so as to make me want to burst into a chorus of Go Tell It On the Mountain. lol
Working for WebMedX is a good choice
From the companies available to work for, I would say this is one of the better. They have really decent benefits, the pay is good, they don't hassle you. Feedback/QA is great. I have to say they are one of my favorites that I have worked for and they are very fair to the employees. (Another good company is Phoenix).
Anybody currently working at Execuscribe have anything good, bad or ugly?
TIA
And, Indian owned. Not a good working environment.
Worse than Focus or Transcam.
I make good money with them and love working there. sm
Here is why: I have one account with a backup account that I have only used twice and both times because they needed help not because my primary was slow. I do 1600+ lines in 8 hours. I started at 8 cpl and was raised to 9 cpl at 90 days. I have as much work as I want and while my PTO days are less than the last place I was for 8 years, I make more during the year. I literally made $17K more with KS last year than I did with MQ the year before. I am higher this year.
I love Chartscript. The account I am on is wonderful and yes, I use ShortHand with it.
Good to me? I made $61K last year with them and so far this year, I am at $56K, so I will pass that for sure.
No to paid holidays but if you work them, it is time and a half.
If my account needs extra help, they offer time and a half for weekends.
I would rather work for less per line and be able to do more lines than make more per line but struggle to get 1000 lines in a day.
There are nay-sayers for KS. They are strict on quality and expect everyone to work their schedule. Not all accounts are great, but that's anywhere. The only people I know who left were either let go for either quality or not working their shift or they quit because their lead was about to fire them.
women??
How do you know they are just training WOMEN? LOL See, that is part of the problem with this industry...everyone assumes only WOMEN do the work.
My job is working out splendidly, I wouldn't say big bucks, but good pay and nice people. sm
I am just looking for something to do in the evening and weekends. I am going to the job during the week daytime hours. I miss transcribing as it is not transcribing. Thanks for your concern. But, yes this job I am working at during the day is a breath of fresh air compared to trying to sort through transcription companies, trying to figure out how they pay, by the character, by the 65 character count line or gross lines. I really am enjoying the people the place too. I would recommend trying an out of the house job for everyone on this board that can!
Anybody working on Cquest, likes, dislikes?? good line rate??
Any information would be much appreciated....
Good luck to you and please report back after you're working with them to give us

What are the initials of these 2 women. I think I know but not sure. Why do they keep them.
:
Is that the one that is so proud of being run by all women?
x
women dominated?
I don't know, maybe would be better. When I began, pay scale was great -- could make a VERY good living. I think it is more the mergers and free trade agreement and little government regulation that is bringing us down. Lots of men in factory work have been plunged into poverty by corporate greed.
MT & EXPLOITATION OF WOMEN..SM
Yes, I believe the MT industry has gone all out, especially the home-based, in exploitation of women. These MTSOs are pushing to get by with as much as they can. How many guys do we see now as MTs?? There used to be a fair number of men doing transcription ... no more. Maybe these guys got wise a long time before we ever will. Women have always gotten the dirty end of the stick in the work force, but the MT industry has carried it to extremes, making demands they wouldn't make in any other industry... lower salaries, being manipulated re. schedules and hours, cheated on line counts, unpaid demographic work, etc. etc. etc. I could go on and on. It will stop when we make it stop.... sadly, there are MTs who so desperately need the income they'll put up with it. 
matronly women.............
I am not there yet, but I know already now that I am going to enjopy those 'golden years' or do my best to do so.
Already now I would not like to go 1 day back.
Yeah, they don't want women...
dressing likes prostitutes in their country. Can you blame them? Look at how some American women dress...and this is what we call 'freedom.' It's pathetic!
Some women who've gone to the UAE have

Another nosy one fighting with me over nothing! You women (?)
jump in threads and fight with the wrong person!! Aren't you embarassed? Can you follow conversations in real life? I doubt it! I'm not talking about computers or anything - I'm on Busy MTings side, really. We're having a fine conversation, in case you hadn't stuck your nose in the full thread!! I'm not the bozo worrying about whose computer she's using and that nonsense. AND YES I WORKED FOR SPHERIS!! HORRIBLE! JUST ANOTHER MONSTER NATIONAL! And I work for MQ - YUCK. But it pays the bills, though that is another story all together! When you nosy posters who jump in a thread decide to jump in and bash, why not pick an intelligent fight with the correct person? You make no sense and look like more of a jerk than you obviously think I am!! Sorry, too, not a blonde! Black as the Ace of Spades - wanna fight about my hair??
Yah - a couple women got rich, and we all got -nm

That comment was very degrading to women.

Nagging, whining WOMEN!!!
Exactly why I choose to work at home!!!!
You said it! Women defined careers just don't pay
no respect.....men would never put up with the crap we do
Women in bathrobes unite! Puhleeze...

Men always minimize women's problems. I would DUMP
ahh com'on, peope (women) don't stitck together
I did note something on MTStars Job seekers, Transcription Express had an ad (I did not see another one a few below this one) but in the newer ad, gave her email and said use this one as she had no replies, guess she figured they did out go through on the board. So later I clicked on the first ad. It offered 7 cents (THUS, I would guess nobody was biting) HOO RAY) That is how to get the rates up but nobody will. Look how they accept 3-4 cents a line on VR. Pitiful.

Are you women or little girls? Free speech..
is just that. My opinion is allowed here as is yours; remember, they are OPINIONS. 
HOW TRUE...from romance to finance, women are the first...
to sell each other out. At least men have their 'man code' even when it doesn't make great sense to me. The same man that will cheat on his wife would NEVER sleep with his best friend's wife...go figure.
Men will at least stand up and say I will not be treated like this and damn the consequences while women tiptoe around hoping things won't get any worse. My biggest problem is the corporate suits, mostly male, get this and do use it against us.
why and what kind of women 'flaunt' their bodies?...sm
This is the question. Why do they flaunt their nice bodies?
Is this to entice men? Running around half-naked and then they wonder when they get raped.
BTW, I have a very nice body, but I do not flaunt it, this is a very risky behavior.
Again, lonely women in need of male attention, whether the guy's into females or not
but that's just me. THat goes for the so junior high comment below. Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't make them immature. You have your opinion, I have mine. Deal with it.
of course men don't work for free; and they typically get paid better than women
and they are definitely jerks - all of them - they suck and they know it, and we are not impressed
E-zines, women and parenting mags, local newspaper.
I have a subscription to writersmarket.com to find places to submit, and there are a few market list databases at other websites. I'm just starting out again myself after giving it up a couple of years ago. The few articles I was paid for weren't worth much at all. I've got a few book ideas I'm working on, too, but I never have time for it.
What have you done with your writing so far? Do you belong to any writing groups or anything?
That is terrible. You know, those women have no idea how to handle all these big university accounts
that are moving up there. They are very very wrong about some of the things they do and it seems like they really dont know as much as they would like you to think they do. That is absolutely disgusting that they did that. I hope that MT reported them to anyone in New Jersey they could find. I would have taken that as far as I could have if I would have been her to the CEO. That is just horrendous. My goodness, why does MQ continue with them. I believe firmly if you make enough calls you will find someone that is willing to listen and take the info where it needs to go I believe that.
Agree. Good post.

Agree, they are a good company. sm
Pay is always on time, and the platforms are easy. I do have heavy ESLs in my accounts, and problems with running out of work. I think the accounts that have plenty of work are internet accounts.
Agree with comments above, good and bad, BUT SM
if you need insurance, FORGET IT. They recently implemented terrible insurance plan with high deductable (like $2000), no med coverage and $10,000 out of pocket expense for year.
Otherwise, it is just fine and I work on high level account with lots of ESL. Not a big problem. The company will work with terrible dictators to get them in line.
Just insurance stinks, as previously noted.
I agree! it is so old now and other good information is getting
lost in all this garbage.
Agree. Good luck everyone!
Have expressed same thoughts above--this is getting convoluted, isn't it? Someone is going to have to do the US-only work. Hopefully us. Good luck, everyone!
Agree, they are a good company...
Yes, they are a great company to work for, so don't you think they deserve a call instead of this broadcasting? I have been with them for near 3 years. They have always been honest and I don't have to worry one bit that I will receive every dime of my pay.
Please call them, and have the decency to post back that the issue is resolved, at least.
7 KIDS
If she works 16 hours a day 7 days a week and has 7 kids that means she never sleeps. No wonder she is a b**ch but how did she weasel her way to the top. Does OSi hire anybody off the street!
kids
That is just like when my kids want something and I tell them they have to wait, that I don't have the $ right now. Their reply is, Can't you just go to the bank and get more?! lol! I guess that is the beauty of being a kid! Stress-free living w/o a care in the world! We all enjoyed this at one time or another!
All I know is for me and my kids about
2 years ago it was $900+ a month. I found my own.
