I persisted a lot longer than I normally would because I really needed a job and had heard good things about them. I kept on them for weeks, and did eventually get hired. I was with them for quite a while but had to quit because I needed benefits. Still the best MT company I've run across. One account that doesn't run out of work. That makes a lot of difference.

Where did you get your crystal ball? Think it needs
nm
Here is the comment that got the whole ball of wax
All the difficult jobs and bad dictators only make you stronger. You can't have perfect jobs everyday, so just get over it. Also, to MTs who refuse to do OP reports - you are only keeping yourself from being the best MT you can be. I've been an MT for sooooo long and I wouldn't even notice or care if someone was cherry picking. I certainly wouldn't waste my time checking. The jobs have to get done and I'm good enough to do them. If I have to leave some blanks, oh well, move on! You guys act like little kids wondering if someone got the bigger piece of candy. Good grief!
We don't need to say anything in OUR defense. This is unacceptable.
Well no one has a crystal ball
It's not inevitable that ALL clients and companies will go VR? Why would that be? It's not a cure-all, just another technology method.
I got whacked out of the ball park!
After applying for many jobs, and not getting one, I decided to go ahead and apply at Focus. I took their test and didn't pass. The recruiter said I passed the first 2 parts but did not pass the transcription portion. I was really surprised since I have been a medical Transcriptionist for almost 11 years, have specialized in hem/onc for the past 7-1/2 years. Needless to say, this has really made me depressed.

Actually that was clinton who started that ball a rolling.
That's in the "average" ballpark. Some companies are trying to low ball at 3 cpl and less.
Definitely do not take less than that, as sometimes, you end up having to retype a lot of the text and it really is not worth it when your paid 3 cpl. I would never accept less than 4 cpl. Can I ask who offered you a job, maybe I can give you some insight.
Yep. This MT feels like a ping pong ball...
Meanwhile, because the last 6 months has not been the best with the MTSOs, owe lots of bills, and looking to change jobs for about the 3rd time. Actually very tired of being promised and then not having a full paycheck. What am I to tell the bill collectors today? I am going to apply to another job, or take on another, because my job is always running out of work? Talk about a poor credit reference. Uggg. Signed the ping pong MT.
No. They dropped me to PT because
to their needs but it wasn't me it was the other girl on the account. Anyway they dropped me to PT, she quit, and now they expect me do to the account on a FT basis without giving my FT status or my benefits back.
Don't need a crystal ball when R.C. is informing all her favorites with inside info
How do you think the information about the production management team was being let go before THEY even knew it?
JLGers - how flexible are they with hours, i.e. kids ball games, etc. (nm)

Dropped you an email
/
So is this all QA or just those on the dropped accts?
Just wondering!
Job postings have dropped because
we are in a depression. Yes, I said a depression. No one on television will say the D word for fear of scaring people, but do your homework. Our country's economy is tanking rapidly.
Someone said 30 straight dropped to 20 VR - sm
There's a thread downstream here about that. But I make 35 now. That's why I want VR to self destruct.
Dropped Accounts sm
How often have you worked for a company and they lost a huge account and you were fired? I am really getting tired of this career and really need to find another one soon before I go nutters. Company keeps screaming about TAT and hours and keeps threatening that they will fire us or the hospital will terminate the account. We rarely get any positive feedback, individual or otherwise, and when we do get one kudo, its always followed by a BUT..
Anyway, should I be worried.. Should I have another job just in case. I am an IC and get my lines and rarely work other than the schedule I gave but I can't be without a paycheck. We are barely getting by now.
Why would anyone be so adamant about holding on to such a crud-ball, crap-paying, loser of a job lik
If this is what it takes to get us off our butts and get a respectable job that pays more than a 16-year-old makes babysitting, so be it. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise.
I for one am outta here. Good luck!
Nope, I dropped OSi for another company.
BUT, I bet you are doing OSi's dirty work....LMAO!! Good luck...you are going to need it!
You are right. Even Bill Gates dropped
the whole idea of VR, saying that it could not be perfected enough to be profitable for the software company who manufactures it. You are also right in that if something inferior is sold to someone and it doesn't work properly, they won't even think of using it again. In my experience, the C-phone worked the best and even WP5.1 for speed and from my point of view for making the most money. I also used to use Mac and found it to be very fast and efficient.
When they dropped 's from eponyms they lost...sm
what little respect they have. Many doctors think transcriptionists are stupid if they type things like Alzheimer Disease instead of Alzheimer's Disease.
My accounts were not dropped. They were still going strong nm

Glad I dropped her a line
It turns out she lost my email and she was happy I wrote. I'm really glad. She's a great person to work for.
It's sad how badly new job postings have dropped
And those that are getting posted are mostly for places with really bad reputations and/or companies that don't respond to emails.
My line count has dropped due to CPL
I get taxes and insurance taken out of my check but my income went way down when cpl went down. At 11,000 lines of regular transcription at 8 cents a line my take home was around $800 (before taxes/insurance). When speech rec came out and we were not given a choice of regular transcription or speech recognition the CPL went down to 4 cents a line. Now my check is $500 (before taxes/insurance). It makes a big difference!!
My sister dropped her insurance. sm
It was costing her $350.00 a month for one person. She pays for her office visits in cash and gets a discount because she is under the income level. Same if she goes to the hospital. She gets a poverty discount. I think it is about 20%. Go figure.
sorry "most" of the time - dropped my sentence. nm

Ha! This is what dropped into my pool of its own accord. It was a "pocket" and that happens s
I am NO ONE'S PET.
I didn't drop, the computer dropped a "k" but as a professional

They weren't good for me. Their Mosaic plan dropped my pay down to an unacceptable rate, so I
