The people are caring and easy to work with, and you feel like you matter, not just some insignificant cog in a wheel.  I don't have to have someone hold my hand and give me attaboys all day, but it is nice to know that things are recognized and appreciated.  I used to read on the board and think probably people were blowing smoke when they went on about how terrific Keystrokes is, but I have to agree -- they are wonderful people. 

Good luck! 

We have several plans to choose from and it also depends on what state in which you reside.  For my family plan, my rates ranged from $100 twice a month to approximately $200 twice a month.  They have some high-tech plans  too but it was pretty outrageous.  The plans I am talking about have good/great coverage. This is the medical.  Dental ranges from $12 to $14 a pay period and they pay the vision insurance.

...but I KNOW that being on this board is shooting myself in the foot BIG TIME.  My morale is down the tubes lately because I DO work for the squid, and I have felt doomed, but you're absolutely right, even when I'm wearing slippers I must envision bootstraps on them to pull myself up, and it's good to know that if I do that, and summon the work ethic that I have in me somewhere, I know (because I've done other, harder things in my life, believe me) I too can make a living wage.  Besides, I've gotten a new job and will be making the change within the next 2 weeks.   Time for the proverbial new leaf.   Thanks, Lil Ole You.

For standing up to these lousy companies who think they can s*** on us and feed us a line of crap, thinking we're too stupid not to buy into it! I am so disgusted and angry about what I've been reading - if Medquist pulled this on us I'd be outta there in a New York second. You guys are too good and there are too many other companies out there to put up with this kind of bull. Remember, we are in the driver's seat, we can be picky - demand far exceeds supply for professional MT's and you guys are sticking it to Transcend as should all new and old MT's. I also believe MTStars should ban any further job postings from Transcend - it is a total insult to us to allow them to continue to post, IMHO.

Thank you for standing up for yourselves and, indirectly, for all us MT's!

 I just want to say that these last 2 months with TH have been very difficult.  I have struggled every day with the work type, but am learning more each day and it gets easier everyday.

Well, I have not exactly been an exemplary employee.   I'm not up to my line counts yet, had to leave work once to bring son to ER, and today had internet problems so wasn't able to work (and I called later than I should have to let my boss know).

I DESERVED to be fired today.  I'm in my probational period and figured I was outta there!  I certainly wouldn't have blamed them if they gave up on me today...I might have fired them if the situation were reversed, but they were absolutely wonderful.  They calmed me down and assured me that it was okay and that I'm not going to be fired...that they understood.  They said once my internet was back up then I could go back to work....no problem.

Wow!  They have totally earned my respect, admiration, and loyalty.  As you can see, my internet problem is resolved, so I'll be burning the midnight oil to get some lines in today....so I better end this post for now, but I wanted to share this great experience that I had with TH because all too often all we seem to hear is the negative about all of these companies.

Have a great night everyone!

I currently work with MDI, absolutely LOVE the company.  But I will probably quit now.  I used to work for Spheris (back when it was Edix), and when they started sending work overseas, I quit.  I just think it's so un American.  I think it's definitely to save money.  I hear they can pay those people a lot less than us. 

I'm really disappointed. 

let me know whether or not I passed the test or that they filled the position already!  Oh well, I suppose it was good experience! :)

The good new is, I was offered a position with 2 other companies (Echo and The Word Pros) and was able to accept both as The Word Pros is a p.r.n. position (sort of like a temp agency--you take work only if you want to).

I hope you love it at PMSI!
