TT gives 2 choices, your PC or theirs.

In Reply to: Can you use your own computer with Wedmedx or - TT? How are insurance and PTO there? nm
Insurance is with BCBS and very reasonable. PTO is good too. The best part about Transtech is that they treat everyone as an equal, no big I, little U mentality.

Why are those your only choices?

your choices
You are obviously new. Please search archives for the companies you are chosing between. It is not the sunshine and roses you are expecting, unless you think $12 an hour is living wage. This is from a fast reader and a good Editor also.
your choices
It seems immature to be rude to someone asking a question, especially to someone who may be new to the board. We are all just here for a little information, not to be slammed. Hopefully you will have a better day tomorrow! :)
So I have two choices
Work for low pay and drive the Editor nuts, which seems to be fine with the owner who makes this arrangement of paying more than one person peanuts...or I can try to search out a company who will compensate me for a meticulous work product. Thank you.
Sounds about right.
Choices
What I see is a lot of posts about Keystrokes and Transtech so people tend to go with one or the other and then come right back here to bash these companies for one issue or another. It seems to be a cycling of MTs over and over again. There are other companies out there besides these two you know so I would not limit a job search to these two. These companies are promoted on this board by the same small group of people over and over. I will say I was very very apprehensive about going to work for KS for this very reason. However, seeing more positive posts than negatives, I decided to go with them. I have found that they are a great company to work for. No one ever bothers me and my pay is correct and on time. I have had to take unexpected time off due to some urgent situations and they have never given me a hard time about it. Sometimes life can be so stressful so its good to find a company that understands that family comes first and situations do arise that are beyond our control.
Choices
If you work for someone who is insisting you store PHI on your computer you need to make sure YOU are following the law and doing it correctly. I would suggest you look up what those requirements are as they're pretty much a PITA.
Also, MTs are puppets-- It really *IS* okay to say- I'm sorry, but storing this data will cost $$$ in order to make sure I am HIPAA compliant.
Just cause someone says do it, doesn't mean you have to break the law and do as they say.
I think you have two choices in this situation.
Since you have already discussed this with her and she has not made any changes...you can transcribe 30 minutes of dictation or more - depending on how much time you have - and return the rest, or you can find another MTSO to work for. You can only do so much  .
Looks like I picked the 2 right choices TY!

It's obvious I don't base my choices
by this board; however, the negative things that have been stated have been true. Guess I should have taken the hint the first 3 times in regards to getting the hiring process completed. Since they could not follow through with that, don't know what made me think they could follow through with anything else!
Dislike it, too. Much too involved, too many choices, etc. nm

This obviously all boils down to choices. If your willing to use a C-phone, then there is work but
if you want to work for an account that you were hired for, say using editing, or basically internet-based, the work load can be somewhat fluctuating and this could be due to the fact that many were hired on these editing accounts so it keeps the work load down most of the time. It also depends on the hospital your working on. Some have more work than others. Just be aware of what you will need and want in order to keep working. I still stand by the fact that sometimes things promised never materialize and emails are delayed in being answered. Other than that, pay is on time and for some that is enough to keep them happy. I say, try it out. Only you can decide what works for you or what is acceptable. Again, it is about choices.
Posters can choose emoticons from the choices given

Life is about choices. Nobody forces her to work so hard and
put in so many hours that she's hiring people and ignoring them. I don't agree with that, no matter what the excuse is. We're all busy people. We all have lives. That doesn't mean you have the right to mess with people's income and careers. Employees or ICs aren't just disposable commodities that you toss aside on a whim. It's called RESPECT for your fellow humans.
Congrats to you -- always nice to hear from someone who is happy with his/her choices. :-) nm

Yes, even without a raise, currently compared to my other choices, I would wholeheartedly recommend
As far as ESL - yes. Most accounts are 60%+ at least from what I have been offered. However, I would have to say that only on certain days do I get 60% ESL and most the time, I have an easier time understand the ESL dictators more than some of the non-ESL dictators. I guess it is kind of a wish-wash in regards to ESL. I would say even though it sounds like a lot, I think they are pretty comparible at least in my experience.
VR depends on what account you are on. Some of my accounts are phenominal and others not so good. However, they do give you the option to remove dictators (though don't seem to listen to half my requests) if their VR is bad. Plus the pay is the best in the business for VR at least from what I have seen.
2 choices: Continue to call/write repeatedly or move on. nm
