I had a hard time making money. Nice people though! nm

Thanks, I thought she sounded familiar. I was with YOG then and now with MQ. SM
It would be so nice to work with YOG people again. I really miss that place. It was sure a lot less stressful back then!
Really? I thought it sounded like a good line rate.

I'm sorry. Change is hard. I don't believe this will be the

I agree...change can be hard but it doesn't hurt to try...
especially if you are unhappy at your current company...and if you just hate being an MT, time to find a new line of work...Happy New Year everyone!!!
Sure is! But the other (sales) job might be a nice change for somebody. (nm)

Very nice but hard to get line count due to lack of work...nm

I actually thought of that. I even thought of trying to go back to MQ part-time!! (sm)
I just wonder about hours at a second company. I work days (and some nights) with this company. I have a set schedule but with the no work situtation I've been on the computer at all hours of the day and night. Right now I have no work, so I would love to jump on at a company #2 and start working. Do you have to have set hours at your company #2? Thanks for the suggestion.
I thought "nn" meant NOT NICE. nm

Nice thought, I am sure they has considered this & not concerned much sm
with a merger, they always say no changes (for now) they just need to line things up, placate the currrent MTs into thinking, HEY HEY. I don't believe this is so. Need to make plans NOW- always have PLAN B and PLAN C in all future, all the time. In the end, all this talk will get you no where, not really. Know what MQ did in the Monrovia office after they took over My Office Genie, came and reconfigured the PC system to take off 2 lines per page, yep. Only way we found out was the tech support people The suits will do anything, tell any placating fib. Sorry to be so negative but it is true, human nature, read the newspapers, red magazine, see TV, globally how humans are, more are, than are NOT.
JLG used to send birthday gifts (not "bonuses"). It was a nice thought though! Don't know

No PTO for part-time. Not sure if you can work part-time or not since recent rule change. sm
You do pay a deposit for their equipment.
Time change info......sm
Go to Microsoft.com and look for patch for time zone edit...easy to find..should be on the top. Download and you'll be fine.
It's a hard time for all of us
I know every one of us involved is very torn, stressed out and I think we should cut one another some slack.
A big huge to all my fellow DRCer's. RIP, DRC.
I had a hard time following the OP
I wondered if maybe the OP was just too upset to be posting - or did I have a brain fart - to be able to post cohesively, but it seems someone else was able to follow the logics of it through. I can't be mad at anyone for _jipping_ me out of lines if I am responsible for sending in the invoice. As someone else said, it was a lesson learned. 3000 lines at say, 8 cpl, would just about have paid for a reputable line counting program, especially if you add in losing 3-some hours of valuable time from reinstalling programs that went haywire after downloading freebies which seemed to have caused more problems than they solved. Some people learn more easily than others. kaysarasara (not defending the misspelling at this time of night)
Okay. Flex your time. Change your schedule if necessary. sm
If you have been in this business any length of time, you should know how work volumes fluctuate, especially around the holidays.
I took the plunge too ... definitely time for a change. Thanks to all for the input. nm
all the time. Can change it to be played on Express

I'm thinking............Time to change careers.
Why do people struggle so hard until they are so miserable that they live, sleep, and breath misery. You are right though about struggling, it's never going to change so I am taking classes to get my coding degree. I am choosing NOT to be miserable anymore.
anxiety
I agree. I have the same problem, have had it for years. Not your fault, nothing you did or did not do. Hang in there.
Thanks for your replies. I'm having a really hard time (SM)
making the decision of whether to stay put or take a leap of faith and go with TransTech.
I am sorry you had a hard time but that is not my experience.
I don't spend any more time on Amphion's demog screen than I did on MQ's.
I have a very hard time believing that.
I've turned up the sound so fast the voice was nearly Mickey Mouse, with almost perfect VR and was unable to get more than 500 lines in that hour. It was an amazing hour, so much so that I haven't forgotten, a couple of corrections only the entire hour with very large reports, and you're saying you got 800 lines in an hour and 15?
Something's off.
We are having a hard enough time helping ourselves
What makes you so special?
You fill out a time sheet. If you need to make a change sm
to your schedule, you just email them. They seem pretty flexible about everything.
Hope this helps.
Time change is earlier this year so computer
probably will not ask you to change now, may ask you at the usual time.
EX-MQer maybe its time to make a change in your name and get on with your life
Have a wonderful evening
I get those symptoms with anxiety sm
Maybe see about getting something for anxiety or taking a Benadryl - antihistamines are help for anxiety in OTC form (use them as a nursing student in mental health) I would also see if you could switch schedule if you want, be honest, tell them it causes you physical symptoms - they should understand
I'm having a hard time believing YOU SAW A CONTRACT - unless you are someone that
works on the inside of Diskriter. None of the transcriptionists know how much Diskriter is charging each client. So go ahead, oh wise one, enlighten us please.

I had a hard time as a statutory employee, but
now that I am a regular employee and have to have a set schedule I am WAYYYYY more disciplined. I guess I actually needed that boss hanging over me (not literally, LOL) to make sure I work and make $$$$$. Best of luck to you.
If your on Escription you may have a hard time with the adapter.
I tried to have my 9-pin foot pedal that I had to use with Escription be converted to USB with an adapter from Radio Shack and it would not work. Pretty much what I have found is that if you are on the ES platform you just need to get a 9-pin. Do they not provide you with that?
In this day and time it is really hard to find a job that pays
anything decent and not work weekends. Maybe a smaller company, but the larger ones are almost all on Tues-Sat or Sun-Thurs.
I think it's a lot slower. I'm having a hard time getting lines, but I'm

I did, but I have a real hard time believing
that anyone pays editing at transcription rates. I am wondering if it will be the transcription rate where they try to pay you 5-6 cpl..but who knows. I applied a while back, even four years of experience on that particular platform and I have not heard a word.
Axolotl - anyone ever had a very hard time making ..... SM
the required line count per day? I have been plenty long enough to be making the line count all the time, but for some reason, I have never quite gotten there - at least consistently. Now, I am not the fastest MT anymore, but I have always been able to do more than a minimum such as 1200 lpd. I like the company (not the accounts so much, though), but this has made me seriously doubt my ability to produce. Just wondering if anyone else has been in this situation and then left and did better line-wise,,,,if so, where? TIA.
The reason PT people have a hard time/
is because the majority of PTers are very cavalier about schedules. They log on or log off at will, despite the fact they agreed to work specific days and hours. I'm sure you are very reliable, but even the company I work for will not hire PT anymore because they are either undependable or they work a month or two and quit. That's a lot of energy the company has to put in for no payoff.
Getting hard for full time employees

I'm having a hard time believing the MDI-FL transition
was all that smooth. From the looks of it, there were lots of problems and people from MDI-FL felt the same way the current MDIers do.

companies change all the time - her info is old, she said. (sm/small message)
A turnover in managers,QA, leads, even recruiters can make an impact and happens all the time, so you never know; old info - grain of salt. newer info more reliable and needs to be found while considering.

Nope, more like a matter of time before we're all working for chump change.

Your puter should ask you Sun. morning about making the time change. Just follow the 'custom'

Those are definitely text book anxiety symptoms
You may want to see if you can get something for your anxiety; something that will not make you drowsy if you take it during the day. Good luck.
spheris has a hard time paying their referral bonuses as well.
Spheris has a hard time paying for referrals too...just put you in a drawing for some prize. if you win, great if not, then who cares.
I think they will hire PT if it is a hard to fill time slot. I would talk
to them and see. They go both by hours worked and lines transcribed since you are employee status. The insurance is First Health and the coverage is great. We had Aetna prior to this and First Health offers better coverage for less money. Vacation accrues immediately but you cant' take it for the first 90 days. I think you get 11 days the first year and it increases every year after that. I think the max is either 21 or 26 days per year.
Hope that helps.
I am having a hard time understanding why companies consistently overhire when they run an ad.
They have to know that people that need a certain amount of income are either going to quit or cut back and get a second job. What does it gain them. I would think this constant hiring and hiring and training would get very old and certainly has to impact quality.
