Taking a POLE? You mean a person of Polish descent, a barber pole, a pole cat?
wow
Taking pole. Which would you take? (sm)
I won't name the companies but have been offered a job from two, both paying the same amount per line. One is as a employee with a company that so far I've seen mostly bad things about on MT Stars. The plus side is they take out the taxes/social security. The second is with a company that I've seen both good and bad things about on MT Stars but it's as an IC so I have to deal with taxes and social security. The only reason I lean towards the first one is because I don't have to provide both parts of social security, but as I said, I've not seen anything good about them. This is a second job to make up for the loss of overtime/bonus time no longer available. What would you do?
taking a pole
I'm with you
taking a pole where?
I think people from Poland are just fine and it shouldn't be painful to take one somewhere, should it?
Poll -- or pole dancing
Sorry had to give you a bad time. All you are paying extra as an IC is 7.5% of the social security and you should be able to write off part of that. You need to look at both, see if the IC offers something to make up the 7.5% you will be paying. You also have to know that you have the capability of putting aside your own taxes and paying them if you do not have a husband that can overwithold them for you. But again if it boils down to the scare of the taxes -- you only pay 7.5% more as an IC for the social security. As an employee they withhold the taxes for you -- you still pay them.
Taking a pole would be much too painful

I would not go near this company with a 20 foot pole
I worked for Focus over a year ago for about 1 month and quit. As another person said, the staff in India (mostly men) treat US MTs like crap. I was constantly harassed that my QA scores were not good enough even though they were consistently 98% and higher. Also, when I was in my first week and needed technical help with their software, I was yelled at for bothering them. Also, I was always running out of work because they were keeping it all in India. I actually had to ask them to route me some jobs when I wanted to work (thank god that wasn't my main source of income). I quit immediately and have been with a strictly American MT company ever since and have never looked back. In fact, I shudder whenever I hear the name of the company.
If there is a person holding each end of the pole, does that make them
:P
I wouldn't touch this post with a 10 foot pole. nm
:x
Hmm. Does it require pasties and a stainless steel pole?

North Dallas
I am from about 45 minutes North but closer to Dallas is Prosper and Celina near Frisco, a booming suburb. Prosper and Celina are small towns not too far from actual Dallas.
TRS in North Carolina

North Shore
In Mass are you talking about. I was supposedly hired by them in 2004. They had me waste my gas and time driving there to train on their system. I was very well qualified if I don't mind saying. The owner has her little canary friend working for her. They are not a company I would recommend. I feel they are dishonest and sneaky. The owner sat with her fat arse in her office all day and counted her pennies. There line count was all funky..so just stay away.  
TSLLC of North Carolina??
Anyone know anything about this company? Looking for good, bad, or otherwise. Willing to share. Considering them. Looking for posts from former or current workers, please. Cannot find anything on here.
Since when was India in North America?
NAFTA stands for North American Free Trade Agreement; i.e. US, Canada, and Mexico. Since India is not part of North America, they would not be part of the agreement.
North Shore Transcription
Just curious if anyone here has ever worked for NST, Peabody, MA.
Zylomed, North Florida, is there
Thank you in advance.
TRS is in Greensboro, North Carolina, though
I think sometimes address shows as Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
hmm, must also have an office in North Carolina
I googled name, but I too could also tell (by the abbreviation ??) probable not .... Might have more than 1 office???.
No it was acute care up north.
MVTS North Carolina? Anyone know anything about this company?

North Shore Medical Transcription
Hi,
I just tried to send you an email but am not sure it went through. I worked for NSMT from 1991 till 1995 and all I can say is it's a very reliable and solid employer if you show you can be relied upon as well. It's really nice having a one-on-one rapport with the person(s) running the company. I ran across an ad recently by them on line, and its led by the same woman. She's a tough cookie, no nonsense, but a really good person and a terrific manager. As far as getting work and being paid on time, as an employee that was never a question for me. If she's doing IC these days, just keep in touch with her and she'll work with you I'm sure.
Everyone's different, but I'd say this company is definitely a good bet. I don't know what accounts they have these days, but there was a good variety. I worked on site at the Lahey Clinic most of my time there and it was a super assignment.
North region here and tons of work....nm

Way of Today
I don't post here frequently because so many of the messages are vitrolic and full of negativity and meanness. I think the mindset of today's world is reflective of just the opposite of the life advice given by your mother (and mine, too). So many, not all I know, but so many folks these days seem live their lives based on the belief that they should
-say ugly and hurtful things every chance you get.
-be rude and insensitive each and every day in each and every way.
-it is not necessary for people to like you, just make sure they know (that you believe) they are less that you.
-nothing is private, nothing is sacrosanct. Let it all hang out.
-if you're miserable, do your best to make everybody else miserable, too.
-do all manner of dirt unto others, but become aggrieved and just downright highly pissed if (when) you reap what you have sown, and feel empowered to lash out in any and every way you can.
Lyndia, you struck a chord, and I just had to respond
I know. Got my W2 today and I'm down 3G from
deficit and I always thought the idea was to increase; at least that's how it used to be. Never thought I'd see transcription turn into a limited income industry.
QAs being cut today
From what i was told they cut 100% of the US based eScription QA force, 75% of the US based SWAT QA force. I was making 6 cpl as a QA on escription, nice first shift M-F job. They offered me 4/8 cpl as an MT 3rd shift in escription or 5 cpl to be QA for a new account on the Dictaphone side, and told me that being they offered me a new position I would not qualify for unemployment.
is always like that, not only today..nm

Wish I did. Know nothing. It is indeed bad today.
nm :(
wonder why the ad today then sm
 very low paying (April 2009 was 6.5 to 7 cents. Good grief.
Here's another one from today

got a job today... sm
Well I had an interview today and received a job offer about two hours later. Whoo Hoo! Smaller company but they supply all equipment etc. Tech support, one weekend day a month etc. You never know the whole details until you get started, but at least its something. Money isn't bad either with incentive scale to boot!
Had interview today . . .
Pay is per hour. They have .8 and .7 positions. Both are elligible for full benefits. $196 per month insurance for family, dental family is $32 a month. Hours stink. 4 days a week 5pm to 10pm and 8 hours either Saturday or Sunday. 0.55 shift differential. Don't know what hourly wage would be...yet. Strickly radiology reports. Would have training at the head MT's home, about 45 minutes away from me. Don't know how long that would be. I was showed basic platform and it doesn't look to bad. WordPerfect 5.3. Their computer and equipment. I guess they are swamped. They have 19 hours of dictated minutes right now on their system with 8 MTs currently. They like to see it more around 4 hours.
Opinions?
RE: Had interview today
If you are lucky enough to get hired, I personally would not turn down a chance to work that type of environment.
Today is my first day! Whew!
Shorthand only works with Radnet, so I'm told, and now I'm trying to figure out how to import my old expander into Shorthand. So far going good though. I'm excited. Good luck to you and welcome aboard!
