with our job paying us for NO holidays, use PTO earned for sick, holiday pay, and everything else that may come at us in life! You better believe those inhouse clerks, etc./sups, leads, execs and on and on get their GIFT and a hefty one at that. Why are we at-home supposed to be satisfied with nothing, but a low-paying job, low work most of the time, requests from company to flex and flex for THEM, but no flexing when the MT needs off.
Yes, I am thankful for a job, and that is exactly what it is . . . . a job (almost). That is if you consider NO paid HOLIDAYS like all other types of companies give. Yes, these are hard times, but these hard times are hitting the MT harder and harder each and every year! It does not affect the office support staff, etc., etc., etc. They are paid for holidays and whether there is work for the MT or not. We are piecemeal workers only (similar to sweat shop workers). Yes, I am thankful that I have a paycheck coming home, BUT I have to WORK VERY HARD for every penny that comes home to me in the form of a paycheck -- without any paid breaks or holidays. The office staff are the lucky ones -- everything paid for them!

It's not job related but a generous gift
They believe we each have a responsibility to lessen our carbon footprint on the earth. They give the reimbursement as a reward and a thank you. Another reason I love working for them...it's not all about money and capitalism.
Did you send her a card or a gift? nm

AAAGH! My employer doesn't send me a gift...
HEY! Ever thought about sending a small box of your home-made SOMETHING-OR-OTHER to your colleagues who sit in a modular Dilbert-kinda home office all day and put out fire after fire as well as answering phone calls ad infinitum? These are people like you and me. So okay, some MTs are focused on receiving holiday greetings, with your nose out of joint if you don't. Did you send your employer a Christmas card? Or call and wish one of your contacts Happy Holidays? Were you an enthusiastic MT who occasionally thanked the company for putting bread on the table? Consider the possibility that because you did not receive a token item, your company was able to contribute to those who have no roof over their head or a cabbage doll to hug when the world seems so frightening.
KS is a good company. I am well satisfied. nm

SATISFIED MTs, Please post initials or name of your company here
If you are happy with your job, please post company name or initials here.
Oh! That's very nice. We sometimes have gotten a V-Day gift from my company.

I have received gift from company on Chistmas day.
xx
Christmas gift appreciated, but turns out not to be a gift if there is no work the day after
Christmas Day. Yes, it was $25.00 (twenty-five). I lost that much this morning when there was NO WORK. I had so hoped to have a good paycheck this pay period, and was working very hard to have one -- as I need the money SO BAD.
I was appreciative of the $25, rather than some kind of novelty advertising token with company logo on it, like some MTSO's would give to a prospective client, etc. Oh, yes, I made very good use of the $25. I took it and paid my high-speed internet bill, a necessary tool for working my job -- which the $25 was very much short of paying that phone charge.
THANK YOU TT for the $25. 
TransTech MT week gift??? OR just low work gift??
Have any of you rec'd anything from TT for MT week gift yet?
Are you QA with them? Don't see how the old Lancesoft could be so generous. What gives?? nm
s
Thank you so much! I will get in touch with you:) You are generous.
Ty.
And "tude." I think MTSO is generous with the 96% QA!
nm
only 6? i had a company send 14 !!! nm
xx
Yes that is the company MQ uses to send work to India.
:
hosp/clinics send work to U.S. company - outsource
nm
You said it perfectly!!!!!
There is nothing I can add except that I used to love medical transcription. I wish it was like the old days.
maybe send a written notice requesting a money order or other recourse to the company??...nm

THANK YOU.. PERFECTLY WORDED
STYLE ISSUE... That is what I was trying to say, but couldn't find the words!!!
Wasn't that company, but a large national and a newer QA person.
You explained that perfectly! sm
Bingo! This job is very isolating and most of the jobs are found via Internet, so there is no personal (face to face) contact. This board helps network other MTs. Sorry that some people don't seem to understand.
Amphion would fit you perfectly. nm
nm
It works perfectly well.

I would think it is perfectly legal if it sm
is some kind of training you MUST learn in order to IC for the company. Don't see why it wouldn't be legal. I guess they can say that they no longer utilize ICs who haven't had this training.
I am perfectly satisifed there. I like it quiet. nm
xxxxxxxx
Oh, I understood your point perfectly.
Your statement was why call it a holiday if you don't get paid. To which, and I say again, it's a holiday whether YOU get paid or not, something you should have made a note of when you were hired.
And, BTW, individual beliefs and holidays and pay - and our attitudes to such - are all related to our human existence, existentially speaking.
Bravo! You stated that perfectly! $50K for me, too!
Then AHDI can call me and maybe we'll talk.
Ditto! Also add that they ignore e-mails you send and send endless IMs!

I'm 99% satisfied...
I wish I were making a little more per line, but I get great line counts, never run out of work and have had the same primary account since February. QA is helpful, IC flexibility is great.
Satisfied
DR
satisfied much
love archivus of NC
I don't know of anyone who is satisfied except
for the few that post on here that they are very happy and make great money, but don't tell anyone where to go to make that kind of money. I think it is a big trade secret. All I know is, I can't find it anymore and pay only continues a downward trend. Btw, what is a medical abstractor??
I used them and am very satisfied.
Oh. I use my own expander ShortHand and it works perfectly.
No problem getting my 275 to 300+ lines an hour either.
Very satisfied with Medware.
They have been very open and upfront and totally honest, which was a real switch for me. (was working for a very dishonest company)
My supervisor is way cool and he is very appreciative with tons of personality. I have never had a problem with getting time off, he is easy to get along with and flexible.
My experience is that if the system is down for longer than 1 hour you will be paid down time. I have only experienced one down time and that was last week for only 45 minutes.
I have many years of experience and am very happy with the money I am making with Medware, and never have to worry about not receiving my check every other Friday.
Medware is very big on quality and that was the determining factor for me going with them.
The system is easy and I love my account....lots of op notes.
Are you satisfied at Amphion?
Pros/cons of Amphion currently.
Thanks!
Is anyone completely satisfied with their job?
I don't want to be a job hopper, but what is up with these companies???
They offer one thing and then completely turn around and do another (only after being employed for a month or so)----
You will be completely satisfied and productive on one account and completely out of nowhere they switch on you, throw you on a new account (when they said they wouldn't because they like to see their MTs productive).
I get my Expanders and macros set up ...and BOOM... new account.
Then there you are learning new account specifics with a bunch of crappy dictators---It feels as if you are starting all over again with a new company.
Can you ever be really happy? I am not asking for specific company names here. I am just wondering since changing jobs 3 times since leaving MQ THIS YEAR if all of the companies are like this. Maybe I just jinx myself by getting happy and excited and telling people how great this new company is. lol.
It is not just the switching of the accounts.. it is the IC companies that start out to be 24 hour TAT and then ask you for a schedule after working for a couple of weeks (even when you are getting your required lines in). Or the companies that even though they are IC and you did give them a schedule expect you to log on any time of the day to work. AGGGHHHH.
I get that this is the business..and I don't want days filled with glorious dictators and simple work (I know that is not possible). I would just like to be left in ONE PLACE for once with a primary account that doesn't get switched for no reason and get my work back as agreed upon! Hey throw all of the horrid ESLs you want at me on the account... just leave me be! lol. Seriously.
I just cannot be productive working like this.
No, wrong again, it is in modern times perfectly acceptable to
start a sentence with 'But' and even with 'And,' especially when putting emphasis on a statement.
I agree..very, very satisfied with my IC position
I cannot complain at all about my IC position. I cannot say that I run out of work either, QA is great and the flexibility is better than I had ever imagined. :)
I agree with satisfied at Deventure below.
I left another company as an IC for an employee status position and was hired by Deventure. No complaints at all. After not having any response to emails, rude responses when I did hear from someone, constantly running out of work and working holidays and weekends with no pay previously, this company is like a breath of fresh air. Everyone is very helpful, friendly and courteous and lots of work. Direct deposit hits the bank every week - even a day early usually. Was only there 1 month and got a small Christmas bonus check.
I'm not sure anyone is "really happy" with them. Satisfied perhaps.
dinky due
I work there and am very satisfied and would recommend it - nm

Some people are afraid of change so are satisfied
If you say you do better, they'll deny it. Ssssshh, don't burst their bubble. They get grumpy when you do.
and if you can be satisfied with being treated like a piece of crap
.
The others arent satisfied, they just dont realize
s
From the MTSO's side, try to realize how difficult it is to maintain a perfectly even flow of--
work for everybody. You might say you want ONLY XX minutes a day but what happens if a doc decides to get caught on his backlog? Or another MT wants off for the day because her daughter has a fever? Or another MT just has to take off a few hours to run her dad to the doctor's office? And then another account realizes it's almost the end of the month and they need to get all their reports in? Or if there is a chlorine spill at the edge of town and the ER account gets swamped? It is impossible as an MTSO to keep the work at an even keel. If you hire people just for overflow, then some days it's too slow. So your overflow person quits. Or it gets slow because it's February and everyone is avoiding deductibles and your MT's are b****ing about not enough work. Then August hits and work comp pours in along with weekend warriors, then the MT's are screaming that they are overloaded. There has to be a certain amount of flexibility in the MT's end or it just won't work. MT work is like LIFE, it comes at you in waves.
It is perfectly legal. You need to be FT to get benefits. You need 12000 lines to be full time. I
period so there is no issue. Why do some people here try to make everything ugly?
What the person did NOT say is that it is averaged by quarter. So if you do 12,000 lines one time, 15,000 the next and 10,000 the following, it will balance out. They also do not count it against you if your account is slow.
What gift....
I have never received even a card from Precyse and I have worked for them going on 4 years now. The odd thing, however, is that I get a Valentine's day present and an MT week present...maybe they don't celebrate Christmas, who knows.
No gift for me . . . nm

Maybe it's a Christmas gift
in appreciation of a year of hard work. Does Amphion ever send Christmas gifts to MTs? If so, why gripe?
Christmas Gift
Those morons sent me chocolates for Christmas. Unfortunatley my son was here to accept delivery. I would have sent it back. I'd much rather have my PAY!!! They have the nerve to have BONUS pay in their ad for new MTs when they can't even pay the ones that are working there now. I was on their payroll, so it had nothing to do with IC invoicing. I think they guesstimate at lines because they are never close to what I have actually typed. Glad I'm done with them!
Christmas Gift?
My gift  was an email from the company wishing me a Merry Christmas and then they sent out emails Christmas Eve and Christmas day asking MTs to log in and work some;-)
mt week gift
Just ask us MTs from Heartland what we got!!!! enuff said
