senior citizens still working
I am 62 years old, but work as an IC for two private accounts. I know what you mean by the pain and yes, it does take me longer, not because of pain, but tiredness. As long as God gives me the strength and mentality, I will continue.
Our ID thiefs are US citizens. Don't you see the news?
Our own hackers, our own citizens. Today, TJ Maxx just announced thieves right here hacked in and stole possibly 45 million credit/debit card entries.
I assume U.S. citizens don't need jobs
Our small locally owned and operated, independent telephone company outsources their customer service to India after hours and on weekends. The so-called customer service rep, who spoke English very poorly, was a bloomin' idiot. I asked where he was located and he said, Iowa. Unhuh. When the phone company office opened I was on the phone reaming them a new one and they admitted they outsource to India because it cuts down on their operating costs and keeps the rates low for their customers. Yeah, right. Guess the Indian's got a raise because they sure went right ahead and raised our rates a couple months ago.
LEGAL citizens are one thing s/m
ILLEGAL is quite another. LEGAL Latinos I personally know are as much against the illegals demonstrations and demands as I am. If ANYONE is in this country illegally they have no rights. Can you imagine Americans going to a foreign country and flying the AMERICAN flag and demanding the same rights as their legal citizens???
Any companies hire Senior Citizens
Just wondering how many MTs are out there who are past 60 years of age and still working full-time and transcribing more than minimum weekly lines. I am hitting 60 soon and am noticeably starting to slow down. Used to be able to meet minimum lines in an 8 hour day, now it is taking almost 9 hours. Need to work full-time for the insurance, so part-time is not an option. Don't want to go to editing or voice recognition because the problem isn't so much the typing as it is the sitting. Tried lots of different chairs and back supports, but still get back, neck, and shoulder pain by the end of the day, which causes me to lose concentration and hence takes me longer to transcribe reports. Getting up to move around just makes the day longer and when there is not much work, I can only work a straight 8 hours (no 12 hour window) with my current company. I don't think I am in jeopardy of losing my job because of not meeting minimum in the near future, but wonder if it is even worth it to continue to try, or is it time to get out of medical transcription entirely and go work at WalMart.
So, any MTs in their golden years been hired lately and with what company? Any MTs still working at 65 years of age? Thanks.
Dont reply with "But Christians and US citizens.."

Sheeple!!! LOL - I agree. I wonder if Germany outsources it citizens work out of the country.

I don't think it belongs to MDI-FL.
of these platforms. You have to use hot keys. If you like VR and using hot keys, then you should like the platform. I think is is a lot better than EMDAT. I've tried both Beyond Text and EMDAT and thought Beyond Text was better by far. Plus Transcend pays more.
belongs to MQ, not you
You are a rude person. Don't need you jumping down my throat right now either!
This belongs under the JLG post below. nm

I am not sure where this post belongs but...
Does anyone now anything about Itype and Iplayer? Specifically, what I need to know is, do you have to be on the Internet to work with this, or can you download files, type them up, and then upload them back? 
Thanks so much for any info!
oh,and when I say, "work belongs to someone else"...
I am referring to the MTs who claim that other MTs are taking work from them (if you read the other posts before you decided to get all high and mighty). C'mon now, understand the concept here! CHEERS!
IMO, Gourdpainter belongs here as much as you or anyone else!
She is a very seasoned MT that we are could learn a few things from. The 15, 20, 30 year MTs on here have a respect for the wisdom, dedication, and professionalism that MTs like Gourdpainter have. And you know what, you can tell who they are and who they are not. This is worthwhile reading of posts. Frankly I get tired of the immature insults, flaming, and I am holier than thou attitude. We can tell who you are too. It's cute to you and maybe you can laugh and get a pat on the back from some others on here, but believe me when I tell you, it gets old and it is not worthwhile reading or very entertaining. You continue to post while most will ignore you - but you really don't have the right to ask others not to. Maybe you have not heard of the word, but it is consideration.
It belongs here, on the Company board. (NM)

The "work" belongs to the company
If you want consistent work, then hit the pavement and get some accounts for yourself.
Nothing is guaranteed in this profession. No one has stakes on work given out by a company whether it be to an employee or IC. Now, the employee should get at least a base rate if there really truly is no work to be given during that agreed upon shift and none of this check back later which is constantly abused in this profession. ICs are not guaranteed work, I need say no more on that issue, but will state one thing: If you are an IC and run out of work, get another IC job... It's that simple. ICs are free to work for as many companies as they'd like no matter how they like to say set schedule. If they have no work, you as an IC are forced to take matters into your own hands and find several companies to get work from to make a living. Cheers! 
This company definitely belongs on the growing
Is there any way to get documentation of what, exactly, the 'misconduct' was? It sounds like they're not only being untruthful, they're also being spiteful and vindictive, just because you couldn't meet what was probably an unrealistic daily line minumum on crappy accounts, using substandard software.
Your post belongs farther up. Did you not see the name of this thread???

I agree or it belongs on the political/comedy

I don't. The computer I have right now belongs to my present employer sm
I'm quitting next week and will have to send it back. My new employer doesn't provide computers. :-(

What world is that? Wally World?

MT World
Nice platform, very simple does not have a lot of bells and whisles, but it is a nice typing platform and it interfaces with MS Word. On some you cannot get your line count, that was the only issue I had with it when I worked on it.
What in the world did they want to know?
nm
USA is not same as MT-World
MT-World is now ATSI - American Transcription Solutions. Good company, but a lot of turnover in the office. Lots of work right now.
why in the world
I agree! I think the same thing has happened to me at MQ. I'm still waiting to hear back from them after training. :(
MT WORLD
Any info on MT-World in Clearwater? Have a pending offer in radiology.
MT-World
I've been working for them for about a month now so I don't know how much help I can be, but everyone there has been very helpful. Any time I have a question, there is always someone I can ask. Get paid every 2 weeks and so far have been on time.
How in the world would you know??
I thought people could post anonymously. BTW first time I have posted anything about TT in a long time. Im just watching these days. Pretty interesting I must say.
What in the world is going on at OSI?
Seems to be big changes going on.
Why in the world sm
did they buy an MT school? I have my thoughts about that. Mostly that they are trying to get rid of the older (higher paid) transcriptionists.
Whether it is a true town hall meeting, and we get to speak, is yet to be seen. In the past they told us to mute ourselves, and they just said what they said.
I think it's becoming a dog-eat-dog world out there
When I first started in this business and on this board, there was never a bad post. Everyone helped everyone with questions, etc.
Lately, with the economy and the world the way it is, plus the fact that MTs don't get recognition for their GOOD work and, of course, let's not forget the crappy pay, there are a lot of unhappy people out there.
I read an article in the newspaper today that stated in a capitalist nation, greed is good if it serves a purpose; i.e., jobs and prosperity; but if greed gets out of control; i.e., bonuses for the upper echelon and nothing for the true workers, then the role of capitalism is in the toilet. This is what is happening in our nation today and everyone is either worried about their job or trying to stay afloat with all the negativity in the job market and so, the nastiness prevails and turns into the dog-eat-dog world we all fought against a few years ago.
Things will turn around again, but it will take years of trial and error now. Whether it will be good or bad will depend on the attitude of the people and government.
I don't mean to turn this into a political post but I, myself, have been biting my tongue towards some posters and just trying to live my life the best I can. With DH only working 80 days this year and not able to collect unemployment, I am the total breadwinner, so it makes me a little sarcastic and/or mean, but not enough to post nasty messages....YET.
You have to let the negativity go in one ear and out the other and move on.
How in the WORLD do they keep.MTs? sm
Oh, i know how...they get paid well by their clients and they pay their MTs 6 cpl........
What in the world?
Ok, I am cracking up right now. You seriously have some problems. No, I am not the woman who lost her marriage. I am still married and wouldn't lose my marriage over a job. This is hilarious and thanks for the laugh. Like I said, go get some comfort food and calm the heck down.  You are totally losing your mind. Here is you ------> Here is me ----->
Why in the world would anyone
NOT give the best they can? That is owed to any employer by any worker. Second-best doesn't cut it in this job.
What in the world?
MTs have become a total joke. What happened to this profession? I am so embarrassed to be part of this industry. Some of you are visualizing managers as drinking brandy and smoking cigars? Are you imagining them yelling 'let them eat cake too?' I wish I could tell you how I visualize most work at home MTs, but it might be a little too harsh for such a nice place as this.
What in the world????
Why on earth would an MTSO who KNOWS they are treating their MTs well and with respect, have any desire to come and visist this or any other board??? Only one way that my poor humble mind can see and that is because they KNOW they are not treating them well much less with respect and so they MIGHT feel the need to assess how angry their MTs are so they can plan damage control. I'm sure there are good SMALL MTSOs out there who do treat their employees well but I think they are fewer by the day.
One would think this board is for MTs to share their various experiences and those who are happy should thank God that they have it so good and those who are hurting, well it says a lot about the people who would put them down and pour salt in their wounds. There but for the grade of God goes you.
Best Company in the MT World
Stat-Med in Missouri - Pay is excellent, always, always on time. Owner is the best person to work for and I absolutely love it.
Greenlight - Pay is absolutely great. Owner is SUPER and again love working for them.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE BEING A MT....
MT-World, any info
Any info on MT-World, good or bad??? Thanks!
Post about mt world
There was a post last evening about MT World being a scam, a couple people asked for an explanation and now the post is gone - why was it deleted? If this place is not legitimate we should know because American Transcription Solutions is advertising and they are part of MT World.
I do anything and everything. Why in the world are they hiring???

I did not like MT World either and I hated being on IM all day. nm

Its really World War III here, War of the outsourced
Go get those scammers.
ATSI, formerly MT-World?
Lots of work right now. Pretty good accounts, not a lot of ESLs. Direct deposit every 2 weeks. Good work platform. Some benefits.
Why in the world do companies -sm
Keep on hiring MTs when there isn't enough work for the ones they already have? I am disappointed to learn that a company I tested for, and accepted a position with, apparently does not have enough work to go around. I used to love medical transcription. Now I'm just downright discouraged and depressed.
What a world this would be if no one had to work on
weekends. Every store, every restaurant, every gas station, would be closed. What would you do on your days off? Of course, all patients would just lay in their beds in the hospital, have family bring food in, etc., because no nurse, no dietary department, no ancillary services would be open. And if you had an emergency, of course it would wait until Monday to be resolved.
Too many of those who do not want to work weekends do not remember the days that all banks were open M-F, 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. except Friday when they were open until 6 p.m. No one worked at home. If you had to take care of any personal business, you had to take vacation time from your job to do that, including go to a bank. No servicemen made calls on weekends, either, so if you needed a phone installed (before the days of the plug-in lines), you had to take an entire day off to wait from the service person to show up, and prayed that they did so you did not lose another day's vacation while waiting.
We were happy to work weekends then because we did not burn up all our leave time for taking care of everyday business.
I'll work weekends any time you want me to.
Welcome to the real world. Try getting your
see how it works. I have a surgery center account that I bill once a month, on the last day of the month. And they have 30 days to pay. So work I do on January 1st, I might not get paid for till the end of February.
What in the world does "whitebread" mean?

Perfect MT world
In the perfect MT world, what you say would be so true. But you know how doctors are. In the perfect MT world, every doctor would dictate that day's patients, that afternoon. The perfect MT world would not be feast or famine. But come on, we know all too well about the doctor's who only dictate once every couple of days, doing 2-4 days worth of patients in one day. It would hurt to pay an employee to sit jobless for a couple of days only to have to pay overtime when they were then swamped and playing catch-up. For the IC, she still gets no pay for that day but when she does end up doing the work, she gets paid for the work she does.
In the perfect MT world, there would be no fluctuation of jobs. Through no fault of the MTSO, doctors leave facilities, new doctors come to facilities. Sometimes, through no fault of the MTSO, whole facilities leave. Then the MTSO finds herself with several ICs and no work for them. On the other hand, she may get an unexpected bonanza and have a facility hire on with many thousands of lines a month and she finds herself scrambling for qualified MTs.
I am sure every MTSO would LOOOVE to say I am always going to have X lines available to X MTs every day. Unfortunately, she has no control over that aspect of the business.
You will not believe this but I am not an MTSO (but I do play one on TV, lol j/k). I have, however, been spending way too much time lately thinking about this industry and how the changes that are happening now are affecting my paycheck. I am also related to a couple of people in management, so I am aware of both sides of the picture.
World Wide
I have heard of World Wide in NJ, but not in NY. If it is the same company, they now also call themselves Metro. If this is the same company, I don't how much work they have right now, but I do know they are nice to work for, nice people, office manager is very nice.
