Love VR and hate to do straight typing anymore
My work is a combination of both VR and straight, VR about 85% of daily work. I never retype any sentence much less a paragraph when it is VR. I think a person only has to do that with a particular bad platform. Escription is excellent VR.
I could have written your post a year ago. I actually do not hate my job anymore - it's great!

Are lol'ing with me or at me?!
I know SPI is doing just fine without me - mostly because I still do work on the side for them and I keep in touch with a current employee. My point was why let a good employee fall through the cracks? And most of what is said about SPI on this site is, in general, very true.
i'm e/m'ing you.

QA'ing what you QA'd is not really
seen many QA people who fill in the blanks, change a few commas, etc. If you have fantastic MTs, there isn't much to change, so how is that reflecting YOUR skill and knowledge?
That would be Teresa and he got her into MT'ing
anon
My OSI AC said she was going back to MT'ing

QA'ing what has already been edited

Work Q'ing
Thanks to all for your input.
I think she was responding to Busy MT'ing not me!

Hun! How young are you. How long you been MT'ing.
I know it is possible, but I can promise you as the years keeping on passing you will slow down...16-17 hours a day for 6 days a week? What life?
Been MT'ing a long time.......
In the good old days companies were smaller and run by managers that were actually MTs and could relate to their employees. Now most have been replaced by managers with business degrees, little or no MT experience, and a corporate mentality. It is sad.
Oh no, offshor't'ing is a terrible thing
no message.
Groan. MT'ing has become such a cold racket. nm

Whenever you find a place to work in MT'ing that (sm)
 doesn't have slow times, let us all know.
You won't be hooray'ing abour speech for very long, because it will replace you
when the speech machine has learned all the doctors well and can interpret for them ! Just you wait and see. Your job will be gone . . . bye, bye job.
See if you'll be producing more after 30 years of MT'ing and at 50+ years old.
I don't think so. My income increased every year also, until I reached age 50 and 30 years of MT'g, been downhill ever since.
Not too much anymore
Generally they don't want you working for another company in the same geographical area, but don't say too much about having other jobs. They know it's hard to make a decent living with one. I work for one national as an MT and for a smaller company as an Editor and either cares, they just care if you slack on one to work for the other.
That was last mo. Before that I used to do okay, but that isn't possible at MQ anymore. nm
nm
Yup, most definitely. Can hardly get 200 lph anymore.

Rae are you out there anymore?

Do you have to use their CPU or don't they do this anymore? Thx. nm

I don't think she is there anymore.

RUN....they don't do DD anymore
x
They don't anymore.
x
Not there anymore but the same
experience because if you ask a question you get many different answers and you never know what one is right. I hated the platform and QA was the rudest QA I've ever encountered in my 7 years of doing transcription.
Not anymore. Martha is gone. NM

Don't work there anymore,
so I can't check. Just wondering if it someone who deserved it or someone who was backstabbed.
I don't work for them anymore because (sm)
my phone started ringing off the hook for new local accounts, so I had to leave them, but if that hadn't happened, I would have stayed. Very nice, very easy to deal with, always pay on time every week, great accounts.
They don't want to pay benefits anymore.
These are all trip ups for you to lose your benefits. Power outages, emergencies, nothing matters when it comes to adding up to 40 hours, without which, you become a part timer without benefits - only production and PTO time is accountable towards those 40 hours - and about that so called wonderful PTO time most of us just starting accumulating 11 months ago:
In the 2080 hours which make up a "production" work year, you are now expected to produce 2000 of them with no exception other than the 80 PTO hours. In those 80 hours you must fit vacation, sick time for you and kids, holidays, personal time of whatever kind (keeping in mind most of us are the glue of our families;i.e. the mother). It was better when they didn't give any PTO and you had reasonable, practical, human beings in a office to confer with about when you needed time off - and by the way - if you worked in a 9-5 job, your production time would be 6-1/2 hours a day, not 8.
This, being done to educated professional people who are NOT easily replaced? I think not . It's not worth it. There are still plenty of doctors out there who are willing to work one-on-one with an intelligent person rather than to be slickered by some smooth talking corporate job hunter. So, it's good bye to being a company employee for me.
Same here. It's very difficult to get anymore than 200 lph
Am considering quitting also. Have averaged 300-400 lph at any other place I've worked. I also agree with you about the emailing bit. After every update about how much work is on the system, it's ALWAYS followed by an email from the owner about a minute later telling you to either stretch more or threatening you with their PRN Program or that you'll lose the work to offshoring, etc., etc...
Have nothing against anyone there, but I very rarely ever break 200 lph working on their hospital accounts. Bayscribe definitely gives low line counts.
After 12 years of doing this, I don't need them anymore. I think that KS was being
hard on me because I have had to take a lot of time off, often at the last minute. They just don't care that I am depressed and have a lot going on.
That's the problem with these big companies. We are just a number. When they were smaller, they would cover for a person in my situation and care, but now they just criticize work and get picky picky picky about it. They forget the times that I pitched in on my days off and just focus on the last few months. THAT is why I am mad and frustrated. They treat everyone like a number. I think this industry is in trouble because of the big companies.
I guess we won't see their ads anymore.

Hardworking MTs, if u can't take it anymore
This career has careened into the toilet. If you are a good MT and can type fast and have good grammar, there is always a job for you as a legal secretary. This is NO JOKE. They will hire you without legal experience. They do pay very well. Your job will never be replaced by an Indian or other offshore person. The medical benefits are not always great but sometimes they are. Just know that you do have another career waiting. I am not saying lawyers are sweet to work for, but they do pay, they do give generous bonuses at CHRISTMAS, they let you say Christmas even if they are Jewish. They will become very dependent on you, as lawyers can't tie their own shoes. Think about it!
Sad as it is, nothing is sacred anymore.

Who doesn't anymore?
Fact of life. More Editor positions now available, less typing, hourly salaries.
I never hear about QT anymore. Are they still here?
nm
I wonder if K.C. will have a job.. there are no 'U.S. Operations' anymore to be VP of!!! nm

That's all it ever is to ANY company anymore.

Not so frustrated anymore
I was frustrated a little while back. My account manager quit and I wasn't getting paid for my 2nd shift differential, but now things seem to have settled down. They have a new person doing payroll, and everything seems to be fine now. I have always loved the account that I work on and I even just got a new secondary account, so things seem to be getting somewhat back to normal there.
Does anyone not assert themselves anymore?
I am sure i will get bashed for this, but frankly, when taking a job, why not say, could you please put me on the account that i am going to be on long term? It makes sense for them to allow this so you will not waste more time learning specs, etc. If it is a difficult account said company should let you know that or they aren't worth working for in the first place. You can win if you ask questions and say what you want. If they don't stick to their end, fine, leave.
Anymore info?
Do they treat their employees well, pay on time, have plenty of work, etc.? I am kind of on the fence about leaving my current company for them. I heard that they do pay a little less. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
I am IC and do not use IM to communicate anymore - sm
It was just a way to watch me and for them to treat me as employee and not IC...no more of that.
Who was that with and why don't you work on it anymore? nm

One of the AC is "suddenly" not an AC anymore

"Network" -TT (I'm mad as **** and I am not going to take it anymore!
For those of you who remember the movie.

Not a sheep anymore
Only when WE the people stop being sheeple will the SUITS pay attention.
Enjoy your day.
Who's pay isn't insulting anymore?
The best I've ever been offered was 8 cpl for standard transcription on an account that only had editing at half that. The MT business just does not seem fair anymore. Sometimes I think they don't want us to make a living. But it is not like they can survive without us. Besides greed, what are they (MTSOs) thinking these days?
It is not hourly. They do not do that anymore.
We don't have to put up with this anymore from MT companies
No, you are not the only one. We don't have to take this anymore from MT companies who will not pay their MTs. I was rightly shocked about this company though. I had actually thought better of them. Well, we will see what happens soon.
