making money
I meant to say that I'm frustrated not making money where I am working, and wondering if it is possible to make money at Breitner?
making money
I'm not working for Breitner at this time. I'm working for T. I have work. I simply hate everything about this company.
I've read the posts about not getting paid at Breitner, but has this happened recently?
Is there a good paying job with good benefits anywhere?
Thanks for the answers.
And that's the BIG one - will keep you from making money. Isn't that enough?

End up making less money one way or another.
Might as well settle for less money, because by the time the companies send you the ****** work, you will end up making less money anyway.
Sometimes I wish I only did clinic work -- I think I could make just as much as doing this VR left-over acute care.
Doing VR and making money
Everyone can flame like they want but I have noticed on here that people are sitting and waiting for work, end of the pay period. if you got a decent account doing VR plus regular mixed in with it, you would be amazed at what you can make. I am not management, am not being a cheerleader for any particular company but what I am saying sitting and waiting on a particular place to have work sometime in the future is just crazy. I know everyone says they are not doing work they were not trained for but to stay around and stay in this particular kind of work, it seems to be going that way towards VR. I was trained for regular straight typing with transcription and now I really hate to do straight transcription work. It can be done and everyone on her complaining of no work should really find a place that suits them and where they don’t have to worry about not making a living.
Making money at UST
I worked there a couple of years ago and at that time it was like any other company, had good times when there was a lot of work and other times where it was very slow for awhile, but I haven't worked there for about 2 years. I agree with the poster above about the pros and cons, but would have to disagree with the president being a sweetheart. I did not have the same experience as the above poster did, but other than that the poster was dead on about the pros and cons.
If your going to be an RN just for more money your making a mistake..sm
I was an RN and I hated it. Horrible hours, awful doctors with egos, patients who have no respect for you, etc. People who are RNs do if for the love of helping people, not money.
So the company is not making any money???
The oil companies tell us they are not making any money either! Wonder how they can all manage to stay in business.
Are you making good money there?
I'm very happy there. Making more money
than I've made in a very long time. QA nice but tough. Excellent insurance that is very affordable.
It is like people who are not making money get mad at the ones who are....
doesn't make sense...I love working for Keystrokes...make good money, leads are fantastic and I have great accounts...
Compared to what I'm making now, "a lot of money"
Do you REALLY believe the MTSO is making more money off VR? Did it
occur to you that they are charging the client less because they have to? Please don't make comments like that unless and until you actually know what you're talking about.
There are MTs making this type of money.. It's just too bad that you cannot fathom it! nm

Anyone making more money with national company than (sm)
when you worked for a hospital, taking into account the benefit package you had with the hospital? If so, any explanation as to how you are doing better or worse would be much appreciated.
Like I said before...you start making decent money
and they find a way to keep your line count down. After 8 years of this BS, I'm looking outside of transcription.
Note about the MTs making lots of money - sm
I, too, routine make lots of money in this field. I have to laugh at the naysayers. They can't see how it is possible. Well, it is. The jobs are few and far between but they are there. I have made $$ on accounts with and w/o gross line pay, actually more money on the one w/o the gross line. Depends on way too many factors to be able to put down here. Here are a few:
1. I work hard.
2. I am an excellent MT.
3. I do not go on message boards, surf the net, answer the phone, do laundry, etc. when I am working. I get in the zone. Nothing interrupts me.
4. I never settled for mediocre pay. I searched and searched for the companies I knew I could make money with.
5. I've been doing this a LONG time and know my stuff.
6. I am extremely organized.
7. I went to college for MT and worked in-house for a long time before working at home. This in itself is a HUGE key to knowing your stuff.
The people who make good money at MT are kind of like people who have lost a lot of weight. Everyone wants to know their secret. Well, there is no secret to either. Both take a lot of hard work and know-how. There are no gimmees in life; you have to search it out, work your butt off to achieve and work hard to keep it. No one said it was easy. Life is hard. It is what you make it.
Build people up instead of tearing them down. Be glad for people who can achieve. Learn from them. That is how you grow as a person.
Good day!
Glad you are happy. You making good money there? sm
as well?
I am still making good money with a natl. Not giving up yet. Just need about 10 more years and I a

It is the only place I have been for 5 years that I feel I am not being ripped off and making money
I work hard but I did for the other companies too and bit by bit more things were stripped away and I would end up making half again. Keystrokes has given me confidence again, and I am making money. That is the name of the game, that is me though. I love it here.
I had a hard time making money. Nice people though! nm

FUNNIEST THING..they all think you're making all this big money (LMAO) -nm
I am curious about the amount of money I am making at this time. I make around $700 every week and
I am wondering if this is average or if I am selling myself short as an IC.
I'm with them. Good work environment, easy accounts and I'm making really good money. nm
Amherst so we make less money and they get more money for MQ and bigger bonuses. Our guidelines came
from Amherst.
The company takes the money out of your salary, before they cut the check. It is your earned money,
:+
It's about "money, money, money, mmmoonnney. Singing The Apprentice song.
:{
Ok - here ya go. I went from making $1800 per pay period to making just under $900.
Is that significant enough for you? Believe us, we are not just being negative with a grudge or anything like that. This is real! A month later, I was gone from there fast!
yep, gotta spend money to make money. NM
.
So does yours. Perhaps you need a basic money class to learn to keep money. sm
I am off today and appalled at reading the posts on here.
Are you always this bitter? Do you have a family and friends who are safe and healthy? Count your blessings instead of being so angry and you might see that this is not a bad field to be in. It has kept food on my table for 27 years and will continue to do so. Is it harder now? You bet, but it is not impossible to make a good living of $50,000. You just have to work hard, give it your all and appreciate the good companies that are out there.
If I were an MTSO, I would find out who all these people posting such bitter posts are and find replacements for them a.s.a.p. Negativity spreads like poison, and with the world in the state it is, we should bond together not make it worse.
Money is not the root of all evil, the LOVE of money is. nm

they are making a lot of changes....
This is the first I heard of it also and I found out by logging on and all the sudden have all new work types. When I inquired as to why this happened and was told it was part of the "MQ compliance team" (whatever!). Later on that morning, I received an email stating that the first change made was to rank the MTs by classification: Level 1 - ER/clinic notes, Level 2 - ER, Clinic, Progress notes, H&Ps, DS, Consults, Cardiac notes, PT notes (everything except radiologys and OPs), Level 3 -everything including radiology and OPs.
how much are you making, cpl
what are you making, cpl. ect.
It is b/c OSi is making changes
Positive changes...and that scares the daylights out of everyone else. Yes, they have made a few mistakes, but who hasn't? I am with you here. I never had a single problem with OSi until I came to this board and then I found out just how sucky my job really is. So, why wasn't my job bad before? It is a pitty that I had to come here to find out that OSi employs only the worst. I make a lot of money and I don't leave my home. I have a wonderful AC too and I love the people that I have actually gotten to talk to on a day-to-day basis. What more could I ask for?
I'm currently making more than that, but have been
looking around, testing the waters. I ace the tests, they call 2 and 3 times offering me different things, but never enough money. I have even been offered 7 cpl as an IC. My point was that experience doesn't necessarily count for anything these days as no one wants to pay you for it.
Where are you making $120 a day, can I ask?
That's pretty good.
I will be making 9.5 cpl
They offered me 9.5 cpl right off when I was hired last week for an ER account.
making fun?
saying - Having a laugh - is not making fun - it is a comment - not like are they kidding, could not get a coffee for that etc. They do not belong here.
but I am sure if you are concerned the moderator can give you the information so you can apply.
I was making ...
17.00 a hour.
She's making more
than I am right now at my company and I have 15 years of experience and she has about 8 or 9. From what I have heard, it's at the top of the pay scale for most companies out there and you get paid half of your typing rate for editing which is a lot more than I make editing. All I can say is 15 years in this business, they pay very well and that is why I'm applying for a job with them.
Are you saying you re making 0.075 MORE than before, or
they are giving you that which is more than you made before? 0.075 more a line is hard to believe.
I was making 16/hr when i was QA

The ones who are making $125,000
aren't the ones I have a beef with, it's the ones with millions in income and they pay less taxes than someone making $40,000 to $50,000. $125,000 doesn't give anyone enough money to take advantage of the tax hedges and loop holes that go only to the wealthy, especially if they are mortgaged to the hilt.
Please....you'd be making those
wages no matter what. Find a profession that will pay you more and quit blaming those of us who do our job every day without complaint. You all seem to have excuses why you aren't making money. Find another job where you can sit there and work in your bathrobe, chat on the phone whenever, peruse the internet, throw some laundry in when you want, not have to pay for work clothes or gas, not have to deal with lousy weather or traffic and can be home with your children. And yet you still want to make the big bucks and get all the perks. Why not find something else that will pay you what you think you deserve? Yeah, my DH has a good job and pays the bills....sorry if that offends you. I do this job because I love it, not to become rich from it. Be thankful that you have a job during these lean economic times. Don't blame me because you have no ambition, drive, incentive or guts to do something else with your life.
Are you making more than 5 cpl? (nm)
nm
You were only making up to 2 cpl??
My VR pay is 4 cents a line and 8 cents for straight. I do not use Dictaphone there, there are other systems besides just that. I have no drama, monitoring software? Know nothing about that. I love it personally.
She said that making up 2 cpl could be
time consuming. She didn't say she was making up to 2 cpl. lol
I'm not that bad yet but I was making
more than my daughter-in-law who is a nurses' aide and works at the county hospital, but now she's making more than I am, and her health insurance is only $100 a month for a family plus she gets a raise every year.
Then they are not making much of
I make 10 cpl, and if my company is charging 16 or even 18 cpl I don't see how they could stay in business. The bonus structure benefits them because the more productive MTs are, the fewer people they have overhead for, but still...
Are you making more/less/same now as
you were 7 years ago at MQ? My pay has decreased due to the changes.
