I was told several new accts are coming on this month and also next month, so
I'm not worrying.
Thanks so much - I had been told by payroll a month or so ago

that change of status could take place on Nov. 1. Guess that changed since I had talked with her.


Thanks again for your willingness to inform us who have not received any info as of yet.


I hired on a month ago and was told there was no choice sm

but to use their computer.  I do not object to the deposit, and, like you, I think it is reasonable since they are supplying their equipment to a stranger.  I would MUCH prefer to use my computer to the computer they sent me.  


As far as WMX being the best company ever, your experience must be better than mine.  So far, I have experienced an account with VERY poor sound quality, running out of work during my scheduled time, requests for a secondary account ignored, and emails ignored by the team manager.  Fortunately, I am only working part-time, so it is just a minor irritation while I look for something else.


Everyone's experience with a company is unique, and I am glad that yours is a positive one.  Sorry that I cannot say the same. 


Before I quit, they told me 400 a month for family.


I was told the new one will be less than $200/month. My husband's insurance is horrible and $800
nm
Told minimum PT was 3500 lines a week; requires 2 weekend days a month nm

MDI is tops
I love MDI, the wonderful team leaders, QA people, the good accounts, the platform, the 24 hour TAT, no SR, absolutely no off shoring, and very good pay. As far as I am concerned, it does not get any better than this. :)
$60 to $70 tops....often less than this

She is talking about QA and money is not tops. It is line pay for junk work.
They need to pay by the hour like they used to.
bull
The work load will not increase, in fact it has been going down steadily the last 6 months and they are loosing more accounts. I have been using the editing software for some time now and I can assure you that without work being there it is impossible to make double line count and the editing is not that much quicker than transcribing. I say lets cut the pay of the big wigs instead of always trying to cut it at out level!
That's bull that HR has nothing to do with it. sm
On our quarterly updates from MetLife, the name printed on them as our contact is the HR director! It always has been that way, regardless of who the plan holder was. Payroll is the last person I want handling the 401k, and she's never been the contact for that. HR is a complete mess, they've been through SO MANY different HR directors in the years I've been with MW.
Bull.
My credit is NO ONE's business. How I handle my credit is no concern of any company I work for.
It's bull
I have worked on Escription and other VR platforms...it is total bull that you can double, much less triple your line count. I will never do VR again. I'm sorry but MDI might have BEEN a good place to work for but if they are going to be paying $.03 per line for VR they are NO LONGER a good place to work for.  I'd be polishing my resume.
Oh Bull-onie
she could get everything she wants at MQ. I also have 30 yr experience and i am happy there!
Sorry but that is a bunch of bull. SM
How did you get on this earth? Were you not someone's child?

Your comments are totally ridculous, rude and disrespectful.
Bull! How can they enforce that?..sm
How can they stop MTs from contacting each other, e-mailig, or otherwise corresponding with each other on our own time?   What country do they think we live in? Whom I contact, e-mail, etc., on my own time is my own business. 
Do you remember the bull about their new
end up 'earning more' than we did when they took over? I don't want to share any margaritas with their QAs, either. Those people are for the most part half a crayon short of totally illiterate.
That's bull...sorry..but I'm team lead and
spread it elsewhere
I agree - bull crap.
Know what I have taken to do, I email saying May I ask before proceeding to resume, testing etc,

What is the lowest to the highest line rate offered for the position, are spaces paid and is the position for VR. I feel this saves valuable time on both sides don't you? Thanks etc.

They do respond most of them.
Sounds like a load of bull to me. Some companies have old
reports that you can look up in their system.  My company has samples from various docs posted in a database, other companies will fax/e-mail you samples.   I find it hard to believe that all those companies are in violation of privacy issues. 
Bull honkey. Half the mad posters are the ones that don't like negative

They get just as nasty and rude telling the people to stop posting negative comments.


They even have a school for MTs, "to help better the, I can't remember theincreasing bull...
They sent out a letter like they were philanthropists, bettering the (I can't remember what they said, it was such a joke). Great tax break for them having an office or school over there, don't believe the lies they use to excuse their behavior. You cannot make any money with these religious, I am all for humanity bull.
10 pages, bull, they want it for free, give them one page or find another job.
.
Pay period goes from 1st of the month to the 15th, then 16th to the end of the month. sm

So, I guess you could maybe get by with less than 1000 a day, although the incentive tier would make it worth your while to do a bit more.  I am using ExText, and yes, I find it easy to use, but then I used it for a year with another company.  I think their other platform is Mongoose, and I know nothing about that, so really cannot say.


Yes, they are hiring now.  In fact, there is a $500 sign-on bonus.  I think it is all just acute care.  I'm sure they would love to have someone with your experience.  Rhonda Durham is the recruiter.  I am sure she could answer any of your questions.  I am happy to help too, if I can, but I am relatively new.  The account I am working on is mostly psych, it seems, and I am loving it.


Another nice thing, their benefits start after 60 days, not 90 like most.


Good luck to you.


Also $2000. mo.
I'm right there with ya, pass the Kleenex. Over 10 years' experience, work to exhaustion, and bring home $2000. a month.

Years ago it was easy to build up normals, especially for Op reports, and get a decent lph rate. Now, shortcuts are unheard of -- my accounts are teaching hospitals so there are new residents every semester and it's like starting a new account every few weeks.

The old accounts with normals and easy dictators have gone by the wayside in my world -- apparently some of the high-earning posters here must have found them.


You too? I was always a 1800-2000 SM
line producer daily until I worked for them.  1200 and it was taking me 9-10 hours to get those 1200 lines.  Something is wrong with their line counting.
If you read their ads, you see that they are XP and 2000 only. sm
I spoke to KS a few weeks ago and was told that they do not accept satellite or VISTA. I have both :(

I think In Shock should concentrate on fixing the situation or moving on rather than continuing on and on here. The people she is angry with probably don't bother with these boards. They have other fish to fry. I know that I read these posts for entertainment when bored, but if I want real information, I go to the source.

Give it up and move on or figure out a way to work with them. If they do read these, I am sure they can figure out who you are and would not even want you at this point if you are just going to keep harping on it.

There are other companies out there that might use VISTA, but I have not seen many.

Have you tried talking to the person who you say told you this? On reading your post, I could not tell.
I usually get 1800 to 2000
.
2000 lines/day
How long does it take you?  That's amazing!!  By the time I get my 1000 lines done, I'm ready to quit for the day!
7.5/ln if do 2000 lines a DAY, OH PLZ
20,000 per pay period
10,000 per week
2000 X5 days = 2000 per day

for a whole 7.5 cents a line. They otta be emailed by all MTs and say HAIL NO, unless and until you agree to work for $1.50 an hour yourself. If nobody speaks up, wellllll
Usually averaged over 2000 per day, but
why do you ask?
TransHealth starts 1st day of month after month SM
you start, BC/BS, good rate on single, don't know about family premium.
Last month was slow on my account..but this month (sm)
we've been swamped...
The new insurance is very reasonable. I pay $200/month and they pay $200/month. sm
Unfortunately, I have had to use it a lot since it changed and I am very happy. They have covered everything.

The insurance is actually $80 cheaper per month than I paid at the local hospital, which is a large employer.


Who wants 2000 lines a day? That's outrageous! nm
m
How long does it take you to do 2000 lines nm
nm
I used to get 2000+ daily with one hospital

oh my god that work rocked!  It was 95% normals and work was plentiful.  Imagine, ortho reports that were 2 pages long and all you had to do was type in your little Expander shortcut and poof there was the whole report whenever the dictator said Please use my _____ report.  Ka-ching! 


Ahhhh...the salad days.  I remember them with such a sad fondness...it was the kind of thing that was just so good you just knew it wouldn't last.


Now I'm all bummed again.  Where did I put that cheesecake....


 


at 80+ reports, you are doing about 2000 lines
nm
But are your 2000 lines per day ACCURATE?
If you expect to work at TT and shoot off 2000 lines per day that have a lot of errors you have just moved to the wrong company. You will be admonished about that. And you should be. Flying fingers don't cut it at TT unless the work is accurate. If you have a lot of Expanders and produce a lot of quality work you will be an asset. I have never made 2000 lines a day at TT but my work is accurate and they are a great company.
Do you think that 1500 to 2000 a week is possible?
This is a serious question, because I have been there a while and still not up to that. Maybe 1450 but not the big numbers. Wondering if it takes a while or if it is the platform.
Not bad at all. Consistently hitting 2000 plus
lines a day. Just gotta get used to the Audit SW. It's not the greatest but it's not the worse.
I don't hesitate to ask. Have been told "yes", and have been told "no." Never been to
:+
Okay what is great money? $2000-3000 a PP
TIA
2000 lines per day, what kind of work are you doing? nm
xx
hosp I worked for paid IC MTs $1.25/min for 2000 min/mo and
??
again, realistically, most people are not doing 2000 lines a day
nm
And they have been that way since I worked for them back in 1999 or 2000!
x
3 cents per line up to 2000 lines per day
and then an incentive but still diddly for QA pay
To the MT wanting to know if 2000 lines a day at TT is doable sm
I am beginning to think it is really doable. I have 5000 lines for my week, 3 days in this week and I don't have the latest out of iChart either. Yes, it is doable. I have been there...oh 3 weeks and 3 days and I can do this already.

Yup, it is doable.
Really? I just came from a company that expected 2000 minimum!
Per day.  I guess I was getting screwed, but at 5 cpl, 1200 lines a day (if you work only 5 days a week) is only 1200 a month!  How can you live on that?
How long did it take you to build up to 2000 lines a day?
