No flames from here, been trying to tell
others how good Escription can be at times. I liked the part where you talked about sipping coffee and having the foot pedal run at full speed. I am that way eating dinner, just sit and look at the words flying by, hardly having to stop. The platform, can do weird things sometimes so i feel MTs will always be needed, do not see a time when it will be 100% but for the present time I love it.
Softscript does. Been with them 2 years and love it. No flames please!

Better fake flames on an internet forum, than
real flames from something such as a Molotov cocktail and a match.
Venting is a GOOD thing, not a bad thing.
Flames? Putting on my flame retardant suit. sm
So what if some are happy and express their feelings about a company. If given the companies and the reasons, each of us can use this info as we need to. The remarks that just say Stay away don't help anyone. In fact, makes me wonder what the poster did that contributed to the bad remark. If someone disagrees with your reaction to a company and flames you or if you get flamed for giving reasons, seems to me you are getting flamed one way of the other. Might as well give reasons and help educate the rest of us. And no one knows who you are, what do you care about the flames? Actually, when I get flamed, I have to smile a little to think about how I got everyone excited for a few minutes.
They have both kinds of accounts...nm

The job hoppers are 2 kinds-SM
The first is the person who really does this for extra money and isn't too serious about it. They have a 2nd income from spouse, don't need insurance, etc.
The second group is a minority in the MT community, but is responsible for the perception that most of us are job hoppers. These people are kind of off--and by that I mean personality-wise, don't like being told what to do, very demanding, prima donna kinds of MTs with very dramatic lives. They need the money, but they also have a personality disorder that makes them upset at any kind of direction given and they also believe they have superior skills to most MTs and deserve to be catered to.
THAT group is the group who posts that they stayed at XX Company for 1 or 2 weeks, got fed up with something and left, stayed at XX Enterprises for a month, got fed up..cycle continues. I am not talking about not getting paid-that's a real problem. I am talking about people who live in such chaos that they cannot really settle down enough to work for ANY company for long and they also don't recognize that the common denominator in the job changes is THEM.
try OSI. they have all KINDS of accounts
I adore it there.
What kinds of accounts did you have in which you could average 250-350 lph?
I've been with MDI for years now and have worked on the same hospital account for years also. The best I can get is an AVERAGE of about 200 lph. Sure, I get the occasional 250 lph here and there, but I can't say I average that on a daily basis by any means. The only time I've ever actually averaged 250-350+ an hour was with ER or radiology work, and it wasn't at MDI either.
At 11 cpl and averaging 250-350 per hour, that would put you around $30+ an hour. I find it hard to believe anyone would really quit a job making this kind of money, and I wonder if you were really able to manage this working on hospital accounts or was it some other type of work?
Of course, you are right. Just wondering what kinds of accounts .. sm
like when they answered cancer hospital below. Anyway, it sounds like too new many accounts at once. I'd probably get stuck with 2 or 3 accounts at once, i.e., too risky for me. I even received an email inviting me to test. I had worked there before, and I realize this email went out to a whole group of people, but I just think I'll pass.
Then what kinds of questions should we ask on this forum?
?
You got that right. Focus has their hands in all kinds of
cookie jars. I'm glad to know this though. Considering a QA position with them.
In addition, all kinds of innuendos .sm
by them (i.e., sexual; suicide, etc) before any sort of investigation, autopsy, or in short, before they know the facts.
Hats off to his brother, Keith, for demanding an FBI investigation.
wow TT hires alll kinds...

good for you; those kinds of companies will never be stable

I detest companies saying these kinds of things about current/former
How can you possibly KNOW that those who are _still with us_ are _very happy, blah, blah_? Are you telekenetic? Did you have lie detector tests performed? Perhaps they speak ill of you and you just are not aware of it. Perhaps they feel they have no alternative but to stay with your company but wish they could leave. How do you know what it is your employees honestly feel or think and then speak for them? Did they collectively ask you to do so?
I'm shaking my head at how you just don't seem to get it. This isn't the first time you've been offered the words I offer you today.
I know many MTs will bash companies here and I cannot explain why I feel this way, but when a company comes on and _defends_ itself in this manner, it turns me against ever having anything to do with it. This isn't the first time IMHO you should have left things alone and let outsiders come to their own conclusions.
MTs who are in the know, know where to find information, how to break it all down and make informed decisions for themselves. I don't want to contact you...you brought yourself into my arena and the lions are feeling hungry these days.
Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience. (nothing personal, just a quote I enjoy)
Anyone else finding difficulty doing testing with your foot pedal. I am having all kinds of
problems and cant seem to test in Express Scribe with my foot pedal. Am I going to run into this same problem every time I apply somewhere. I cant do the test without a pedal because it is very long with fast dictators. Even to use and keyboard keys is very difficult so I gave us actually.
don't worry, these kinds of heated threads always die down in a couple of days

Want to call you all kinds of management but showing them, no response at all. zzzzzzzzz

Most companies of all kinds request credit reports these days, fair or not.

"All kinds of industry is offshored" yep, & guess who started it early 1980s?
