to post on unless you work there: Here it is.... So what do you think? She is going back to MQ or she wouldn't be allowed to post there.
Posted by marilyn on MQ board:........Well, I never thought I would say or do this, but I'm probably coming back next week. I went to a different company, tried working another platform. Nothing is faster than DQS. My first paycheck for 8 days work is $211. I think that is about $3.00 an hour - their system had some problems with lag time, knocking us out of jobs, etc. I have never been so frustrated in my life. The Q is looking pretty good right now. I hate ASR rate cut, I hate looking at CP's all day long, but at least the typing is fast and everybody is on the same platform. By the way, MQ insurance is a lot cheaper than others out there too. You don't realize how much better some things about MQ are until you don't have them anymore. Flame me if you want to, but I'm looking forward to coming back.

If you work for TT, come on our board and ask one or two of the transcriptionists that work on your account to email you personally with personal tips for your particular account. You can't mentiono the name of the account, but you can use initials. It may be that they will be willing to share normals for doctors that they have or give you some advice to work with. All of the transc on the board are so sweet and willing to help. They could even give you their Expander they have created to help you. Just some suggestions. I wish I could do more for you. I know exactly how you are feeling. It is so depressing sometimes.
But ALL of us transcriptionists whomever company we work for need to quit fussing at one another and start helping each other out. If you can share your normals for an account or have advice on a particular doctor, etc., help someone out. Fiind out who they work for, what account they are on and give some advice, give them your normals, your expander, whatever. You can personally email that person, you don't have to give info on the board. We are all in this together. Lets help one another, please.

It is possible. I sent out a reply to your above concerns. Take a look. Please email me personally, so that I can get you directed in the right place. I hate to say this, but I believe the big numbers are gone (my opinion). However, there is a girl who makes 18,000 to 20,000 lines a payperiod, but she also works a lot more than 40 hours. She tells me she has an Expander that is out of this world and that she has normals for lots and lots and lots of doctors. My second account I just cannot get any lines on. One of my friends quit for the same reason you stated. I believe to get above 1400 it will take a lot of concentration. The lady I mentioned above has spent years perfecting her glossary. In fact, if you did not know this, if you are better with some other software and not Instatext, they will let you use that. There is also a wonderful little program someone told me about called L'Red notebook. I love that. You have to add all of your stuff to it, but all you do is hit CTRL F12 and it comes right up. Very helpful to me. Please come on our board and let us help you sweetie. We would absolutely love to.
Marilyn - thank you (sm)
I had worked on an 800 number for years on a Dictaphone, and never had a problem. It just never hit me it might be the hospital. I don't really like the platform either but I love the account (I'm new too) and I love the support of KS, so I'll hang in there too. Again, thank you.
To Marilyn
Thank you for the words of encouragement. I had heard good things about this account from the person who was going to train me, and although offered another account if I preferred I told them I wanted to work on this one. So at this point I would feel foolish saying I now want to switch (since it has only been a few days). How long did you wait before asking to change? Also, what schedule do you work? When you switched were they able to give you the same schedule, or one that you wanted, for another account?
To Marilyn
I meant to ask, who is the client lead. I only know a few names at Keystrokes.
FYI-- Marilyn did NOT go back to
MQ, she merely stated she was contemplating it. They have had issues with some KS accounts, and are trying to work out the bugs. She is more than willing to give them a bigger shot than normal, because of NOT wanting to go crawling back into the cesspool. And, there are no big LD issues that I know of 
Plus I just saw a post from Marilyn
to MQ already and I do believe she was working for Keystrokes. Keystrokes has posts on long distance issues and platform issues (using Meditech which is horrible). I agree with your post.
Marilyn's post
Read you own post more carefully: Probably going back there... does not mean she up and went back. Geesh! This person is a friend and co-worker of mine, and know for fact that she has NOT gone back. No one wants to wade in that cesspool again. As for not being able to post there, no one is sitting here telling me I can't. Rules were meant to be broken, occasionally 
marilyn - just wanted to see if you
decided to stay with Keystrokes? I saw last week where you posted you might be headed back to MQ. Did you decide not to or are you still undecided? Email if you don't want to post anything on the board. I understand.
Marilyn - I think we're on the same account...I've been with KS for over a year (sm)
and was given this as a backup account...I can't make ANY lines on it at all...I've already given up for today.
