are the sole support of their families (who usually need to eat regularly, wear clothes and shoes and need electricity and other "luxuries."

You would tell someone in that position to be grateful for the opportunity to spend time with their children in that case?  How much quality time can a parent have with kids if they are worried about paying the bills?

weren't around when this was a real career, when the pay scale was 11 cpl+ as an employee with benefits and a normal amount of paid time off during the year, equipment provided by the company, internet paid by the company.

Fast forward from then until today and what you have is a clerical job with clerk salary.

Clinic work is super easy -- 7 to 7-1/2 cpl -- and I think acute care pays 8-1/2 cpl.  They pay once a week, direct deposit, work is done in Word.

Hope this helps.

direct deposit, paid weekly, always on time.

Hope this helps.  Good luck!

They do have a thing where you have to get a paper check for the first 90 days, then you can have direct deposit.   The account that I was on used ExText.

Hope this helps.  Good luck. 

I only work there part-time, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.  Good luck on whatever you decide. 

I'm past that "honeymoon" stage of the first few months that another poster mentioned.  I still find them to be the best for me.  Never run out of work, always there for questions, including timely responses, great people (QA and otherwise). 

I'd highly suggest contacting either your supervisor or Jane (as she offered) about lack of work.  As you should see on the daily reports, there is plenty of work out there. 

Good luck & I hope it works out for you. 

.

good benefits.  The pay could be more, but at least there is a production incentive tier that is not too tough to achieve.   Overall, I would say this is probably one of the best places I have ever worked.  If the no work situation continues, I guess I will just have to call them and ask for a secondary.  Everyone in the office has always been very helpful and supportive.   I just get nervous when it is not a holiday or anything and no files are available.  That is just my little thing, I guess.  I still would not hesitate to recommend the company to anyone.

Hope this helps.

I haven't a clue what you are talking about.

I think a really positive thing to do because there is so much discontent and distrust and distress in this field - at least 90% of it warranted - would be to start a space or maybe even another forum here on MT STARS for something like How To Get Free or Back To the Light or who knows what - just a place to post and network and throw out ideas and experiences and tips of how to get out of this field and start again - or like someone else wrote -  use some of our skills but in other ways we might never have thought of on our own...

What makes you think think I am suddenly trying to fix it?  You must have a pretty hard life, or maybe too good of one to have that kind of heart.  This isn't new, this is something I have been working on for some time.  And, you know, I could tell you about the fire and the parents and all that, but you don't deserve it!!!!

with all of you MDI-MD/Transcenders.  I've never worked for either company but I know the drill.  Anyone remember ddi, Inc.?

Now is the time to act.  Contact your representatives in Congress.  HAVE YOUR SAY.  I did and I actually got a phone call the other day from Washington DC regarding a letter I had written a short time previously. 

Now is the time to stop the offshoring and I believe it is also time to trim the fat in health care and one good place to start is putting transcription back in the medical facilities where it belongs.  In short, cut out the suit's fat paychecks. 

Don't waste your time ranting here it MIGHT get you sued.    TAKE ACTION.

If you stand up for what's right it'll be alright.  What goes around comes around.  I believe that.

This merger should be of interest to all MT's.  I have never worked for either service, but I have been following the discussions to see how my fellow MTs are being treated by their companies, as well as other company discussions.  It could happen to any of us that work for MTSO's and has happened with a couple services I worked for.  Nobody is stopping anyone from starting new topics.  Just bypass the ones you are not interested in.  Don't you realize that this may be the only networking avenue these MTs have open to them right now?  Count your blessings if you work for a company that doesn't offshore.  Thankfully, mine doesn't.

If people had paid attention back in the 1970s and 1980s when our manufacturing base started eroding, jobs going to other countries, maybe we wouldn't be in such a sad state of affairs. Offshoring is nothing new, just new to medical transcription.  Millions of Americans (mostly blue collar) have lost their jobs to offshoring in the past 4 decades, but few paid attention because it wasn't their problem.
