Is it difficult to get lines there?

Thanks

however, there is a discrepancy in line counts.  They tend to try to use the line count that the FNET program gives.  I wrote down character count with spaces for each document and found that at the end of the day the FNET program shorted me anywhere from 50 to 75 lines per day.  The good news is you submit a line count sheet at the end of the pay period and they pay you off your sheet.  So if you keep track like I did, you won't get shorted.

My only beef with JLG was that I was hired in to do SR paid hourly and within weeks of being hired they breached their offer letter and contract and forced us all (all SR people) to go onto production, which would be fine except that the ASR program had just started and we were still teaching the engine, so you couldn't make any money on production because you were pratically transcribing the entire report. Then there was the game playing.  When we were hourly and management felt we weren't productive enough, they withheld work.  They wouldn't put any jobs in our queue for days at a time.  That didn't sit well with me.  I'm the kind of person that if you don't like something I'm doing, call me up and tell me.  Don't play passive-aggressive BS games!

I think they treat their MTs pretty well.  I just would be mindful of how some of the higher ups operate.  I think if you go in with your eyes open, you could make decent money on their platform transcribing.

Good Luck!

Yes, the economy has taken a beating that's affecting countless good people - but the recession has been in play for a few months and will likely resolve in time, although no one seems to know how much time.  That said, the MT industry has been pushing the envelope for years and years now  as far it is going to go at this point.  Flagrant violation of federal labor laws, abusing time/wage laws, decreasing our pay in an almost geometric pattern lower and lower on a yearly basis - all the while demanding a higher standard of knowledge and skill from us, though. 

The difference in the 2 is that the recession is due to economic factors that have snowballed - but, historically, we've come out of recessions/depressions before, right?  Things got back to fairly normal with a restored economy, restored wages, jobs.  However, not by the wildest stretch of mine or anybody's imagination is the MT business going to improve for anyone except the MTSOs or stockholders. Congratulations, VR technology -- I guess you win here, for the time being -- you sold the hospitals and MTSOs a fine bill of goods.  I did emphasize the FOR NOW ... the gravy train WILL come to a full stop.  The REAL losers, though, will be the PATIENT ... Hey, Suits, I'm talking to you ... I hope that's not YOUR mom or your kid lying in that hospital bed with a  ----ed-up medical record!

Honestly though, I have only had 2-3 times in the past 2 years where it was like the other day...no work... It did pick up later but I just think it's important not to make someone think we're overloaded with work all the time. That would not be fair to them if they end up with high expectations.
