In Reply to: Hmm, I'm getting 2cpl for editing... might need to talk to company...nm - NewBMT
There is no way. I cant get over it, 2 cpl a line???? just pennies a line what an insult for your time. I dont care if you are an old MT or newbie that is ridiculous and when people accept that kind of pay it just drives down the cpl for all of us. I mean heck if they can get people to do it for 2 cpl, why pay 5 cpl so they can pay their bills. That just blows my mind. You'd be better off working an 8-hour shift at McDonalds.

that rate is insulting!
Try to find something that pays hourly. It is very hard to make money being paid by the line for QA, especially if the accounts are hard or the MTs do not do good work.
Yeah I had applied for the Escription account (before I knew the insulting pay rate) with years of
experience and no one bothered to get back to me. Once they told me what they paid, I would have never accepted anyway, but I find it odd that they would not pursue someone with years of experience. I guess they knew there would be no one I would accept their pay. Apparently, they are hoping some desperate people apply, which is NOT me but best wishes to them.
MQ pays 70% of your MT rate. More than anyone else.
MQ pays 60% of transcription rate for VR.
MQ pays hourly. Their starting rate
was the highest of all the top nationals who are still paying hourly, plus they provide all your equipment, pay for your internet and the benefits are great.
Webmedx also pays 70% of your current rate. nm
.
Transcend only pays 55% of line rate for editing...
I could have dealt with an 80% cut. I think that is a very fair rate. That is my whole point. I do not have a problem with the fact that they are moving to ALL editing. I have a problem with the cut being too large. I think 6 cpl would have been fair. That allows you to make a decent wage, but 4 cents is absolutely ridiculous. If voice recognition is the way of the future, at least MQ is doing something right, at least trying to be fair. Transcend is just greedy!!
Webmedx pays 70% of your line rate. I make more on VR s/m
with them them straight typing, a lot more.
Webmedx pays 70% of your regular line rate. nm
.
Medquist no longer pays hourly rate for QA - that
It is MME. You do QA for 3 cents a line. Then when that runs out, which it does, you do Editing at 5 cents a line. And you also get straight transcription which is 8 cents a line.
Was in the pilot program and got more Editing and straight Transcription than QA.
No more QA department for MQ.
When MDI-FL pays vacation time, is it hourly rate or an average
You have to go to NJ to train and pick up their computer & she pays a low per-page rate. nm
s
do you find being paid per the minute pays better than per line pay rate?
Thank you so much for your help!
She means Webmedx - which pays VR at 70% of your normal line rate. nm
.
Webmedx pays a flat training rate for 3 days. nm
.
Pays per page, top rate less than what I made 10 yeasr ago, benefits high
.
All she can say is "Are you NUTS?" LOL. I'd ask. Can't hurt. SM
But did you mean 2000 lines/week or 2000 lines/day?
You're on to me Dr. Phil. Wanting to work in a profession
where my pay is not being cut month to month is so wrong. Please don't take my funnin' the wrong way. I'll try to use my powers better from now on.
They have created a new position that pays hourly. Anyone know what the hourly rate range is? NM

insulting
 here here, but didn't you like the pretty picture on the oversized coaster!!!!
Insulting or what?????
I read this ad and my blood pressure got so high, I came off my seat. Old Timey doesn't seem to mean having a brain. Perhaps those of us who have been in this profession -- personally I have been for over 45 years -- have burned out all of our brain cells. Gimme a break. The whole attitude of that ad is insulting. Sure hope she sits and waits for applicants -- maybe she can check out the Wal-Mart Electronics Department.
They only pay 7/8 cpl! That's insulting!
nm
.04 and .05 insulting
Amen! Glad you will not let them post such an insulting remuneration.
3 cpl insulting indeed
What next! Will we have to pay to work?
nobody is being insulting.
In my response, i posted about the NEGATIVE response shown to the original poster who simply thanked me for an encouraging response. Somehow, the negative poster(s) assumed that their response was not appreciated as there was no specific thank you involved. FYI, the OP did not say she didn't appreciate the other posts; but someone with preconceived ideas jumped to conclusions huh? therefore, my post about attitude was, i believe, correct. Remember, she was a new hire, excited about her new job, and looking for some support, NOT to get slammed with a bunch of negatives.
Again, when you have a bum attitude, it affects your personal relationships, your work relationships and your decisions as well. There is a time and place for negativity and i don't think that is what the OP was looking for.
Their pay is insulting.
Less than 7cpl. No kidding.
wow.......that is insulting.
was that an offer made to an MT with experience?
Especially as an IC! Very insulting.
x
That's just as insulting as implying that
those of us who had everything go wrong had it happen because we weren't quality MTs. Attitude is 90%? I'll tell ya, I sat there with my HAPPY EXCITED attitude for days and days and days and days, and guess what??? No work was no work was no work. Had not 1 bit to do with my attitude, and its insulting for you to even speak that. There were a great number of us hired on at the same time, all different accounts and platforms. I think one cheerleader made it thru without a hitch, and the rest of us got hit with one technical problem after another, keeping our chin up and plodding thru all these hoops, because we had a GREAT attitude, only to encounter no work over and over and over. Days turning into weeks, weeks into over a month. Give me a break. Attitude.  They don't have their act together for some reason, and it sure was not OUR attitudes.
This is absolutely insulting. nm

Who's pay isn't insulting anymore?
The best I've ever been offered was 8 cpl for standard transcription on an account that only had editing at half that. The MT business just does not seem fair anymore. Sometimes I think they don't want us to make a living. But it is not like they can survive without us. Besides greed, what are they (MTSOs) thinking these days?
When your advice is insulting
You may be the best at your profession, if you think so. However, when time has taken its toll on you....it's probably time to go. Or maybe just try to stick to what it is that you do best, but it is certainly not communicating with people.
Not only insulting, worthy of becoming physically
No offense, but you are insulting the wrong ones.
You are correct when you say that difficult jobs make you a better MT. But the same holds true for cherry-pickers. They would be decent MTs (as well as honest ones)if they were honest enough to type whatever came up into their que. In my early days as an on-the-job MT, I myself had a more experienced MT cherry-pick and my lines and paycheck suffered because of it. I don't check for cherry-picking, never have, but I resent them thinking they have a right to pick and choose what I type. I, too, now am good enough to do any job, but that is no excuse for others to be dishonest. You obviously must not have to worry about money. It's a shame you are insulting the honest MTs who are complaining about the dishonest ones. You seem to be insulting the wrong people.
Not insulting. Just stating my observation of the

Insulting others who are hurting is not standing up for yourself
Don't fool yourself into thinking what you have up your back is a backbone ;-)
7 cpl with my experience was insulting...and if your insulted that I said so, GOOD! you should be!

If others read my posts as insulting that shows their
I post what I see as proactive, get her done, dont be a victim encouragment. Strongly put, maybe. But I feel passionatly about this issue and hate to see women letting themselves be vicitms. Engaging in the poor you, you been treated bad, it is so sad, does nothing to encourage them to drag themselves out of the mire and take charge of their lives.
I think your comparison is ridiculous and insulting. Try getting a farm worker's job and you'

True. It was demeaning and insulting. Tell me you didn't like my resume or that I smell bad..
Whatever... but don't tell me that I do not have experience. What is with these people. If they are that unprofessional, we would feel blessed we received the kiss-off form letter LOL
I dont think that the act of insulting a person whether on a board or in life is no way to treat any

So telling someone to suck it up has nothing to do with lack of spiritual grace or insulting a perso
I am not the poster you originally addressed this to, but I will from now on suck it up and consider myself under your advice and control. Feel better now? For some reason, I don't... I think I need to check to see why...
for MQ STAT employees tier rate applies to ME rate as well and how calcluated?
for a STAT MQ employee: Does anyone know if the tier rate is going to be applied to the ME rate as well or are they going to go with the 80% of the MT rate for each tier level? If the tier rate doesn't apply as well to the ME rate then going by the 80% of the MT rate is less than if the tier rate would be applied. I'm sure that MQ is going to go by whatever keeps money in their pockets. Guess this is a question for the supervisor tomorrow.
Heck
They are probably glad you didn't apply too. Why do transcriptionists think they are constantly owed more than they get? Get up off your butt and work for it. It can definitely be done.
HECK NO!
Especially considering so many errors are subjective. There are a lot that are spelled out so that there is no question about whether there is an error or not; however, there are far too many that are ambiguous and/or seem to be based upon any particular QA or supervisor is editing or auditing. I've had many items marked for errors throughout my career, both as an MT and as a QA, that I've disputed and even shown proof of the descrepancies. These have not always been changed from errors to showing as correct.
I definitely wouldn't work for a company that does that - especially if they refuse to pay you for an entire report for only 1 supposed error! What a crock!
how the heck you do that
How come you so fast? what kind of work does TT give you?
heck, i don't even know what co. this is! nm

Now HOW THE HECK...
On the Seekers Board, Synernet is hiring RAD MTs. On their website, they require 1600 lines/8-hour shift. Does this include the RAD accounts? And isn't this the company who offshores?
PLUS, how in the heck are we
supposed to decide whether to go PT or FT or bail, with this total lack of info? Not to mention, we don't know what wage we would be making, and they base their PT/FT status on how much MONEY you make in a pay period...screwy.
Well, heck...
I don't even work there and never have, and yet I'm irritated FOR you, lol!!!
Nothing grates on me faster than employers who brush off their employees' concerns the way you were brushed off, and that post of hers just muddied the waters even further. Of course, it's not a pay cut in the sense that they, for example, dropped you from 7 cpl to 6 cpl, but if they are not paying for something they previously paid for, I fail to understand how that is NOT a pay cut.
Maybe I need more coffee. Or maybe the post was intended to be ambiguous so as to not be incriminating, lol!!!
Anyway, you have my sympathies...both for the pay cut AND for having a boss that treats you like a nuisance when you have a concern!
Where in the heck do YOU get off!
Really, what IS YOUR PROBLEM???? If you don't watch it, GP will sue YOU for defamation of character! That would be a fun countersuit to see.
