I sent in a response to this posting,
yet it doesn't seem to get posted. Wonder why that is. I realize previous posts have been removed immediately after or prevented from posting. Doesn't seem quite fair, but then it's never about being fair, is it?
Hey! Stop posting like this or they're going to think I'm you!
Little mt, we're always posting the same, looool -nm
I'm not posting contracts. You're insane!
I don't care if they don't believe me. I'm the one getting paid. What do I care if they don't believe me? I can understand the problem with others getting hired in at higher rates, but truly that is their situation, not mine.
You're real sharp but not I'm not dull enough to bite that! LMAO
Wow, you're quick with your response! Thanks again! nm

Wow, grow up. You're a kid yourself with that immature response...nm

ANON, you're such a loser for posting your 2 cent goodbye!

I hope they keep posting. They're showing everyone their true colors. :) nm

CindyMT: I would suggest you watch what you're posting. Unless you have proof
that you are being ripped off, which you don't, you are slandering the company. Do you really want to be doing that?
Seriously, what's the point of posting if you're gonna leave out the most vital info? nm

Took what I thought was an easy test but no response. Sounds like we're not missing much though.
I agree with the other poster. Where are all the decent companies at?
the posting is the exact same posting as you read on the
job seekers board. It is under state boards
Hope you're enjoying those slave wages you're earning.

So you guys feel you're getting paid what you're worth with VR?
I'm not trying to be snarky. I've never done VR, so I'm trying to understand.
You're happy with your paycheck with VR? Do you find the files to be as bad as the original post implied?
So you're telling me, basically, they're bad news?
They offered me 0.095/line and you know - it sounded too good to be true, but I SWEAR the recruiter told me they do not outsource. Oh brother... I just wish they'd be honest. I really don't know what to do.
Not the OP, but they're supposed to take out all the other taxes as you're an employee with th

No, they're not losing money....they're gaining!
If a company charges their clients by the line, I'm sure that line rate does not go down even though the MTs pay does.
ASR pays about 2/3 normal line rate to its MTs. Their ultimate goal is to have the MTs do twice as much work. Therefore, the client is getting their work faster, but paying their normal rate, while corporate gets that money and the MTs get the lower line rate.
Whether the newbies want to realize it or not, MTSOs have not increased MTs' salaries in the past 10 years. They still start out at the same pay as the last century!
This used to be a very lucrative profession. Nowadays, most MTs are considered to be paid at the poverty level. You don't believe me, look it up!
Hey, you're in luck then. They're hiring! (nm)

What posting? (nm)

posting over and over
One reason these people keep posting is that they have multiple openings and are looking for the right fit.
Thanks for posting this. I know where I won't end up!
Thanks for the tip. You can bet I will not be posting anything
 about pay scale again, LOL. I was just trying to share something good and it backfired. Oh well, that's what I get for being happy I guess.
there was a posting...
about how they may require you to purchase expensive dictation equipment and you would always be out of work.
they say only 2 out of 10 will actually be hired. i applied with them. They send you a tape to transcribe with simple specs. i heard from them about 3 weeks later, and of course i failed.
if you go for it, im sure you'll do better as i only have 1.2 years experience with radiology. good luck.

You obviously have not read the posting policies.
Company names can be used. It is individual accounts that cannot be discussed nor any information that identifies individuals at companies or otherwise. No company-specific information (i.e., internal memos, etc.).
I suggest you read the posting policies immediately. If you have any problems with any policy, you need to e-mail either myself (moderator@mtstars.com) or the Administrator (admin@mtstars.com). Either way, anymore of these petty complaints about posting poicies are going to be deleted.
in re of me posting
Are you on some kind of drugs? If not, maybe you need some. The original poster was only stating something that happened, you took it waaaay overboard chickie poo. Ease up. Life is short!
Thanks for posting! (sm)
If I am reading your post correct, it seems that the high producers would not triple their lines but someone transcribing lower lines would see a better increase. Does that sound about right?
One more question - what is your opinion on the platform for VR?
Thank you, again!
no one knows who is posting except to say....
website owners can see who is posting, see the IPS/DNS and what OS (operating system) many poster is on so this website CAN/COULD hold folks responsible for their posts.
Thank you for posting this!
They are advertising for radiology MTs and I was considering applying with them. Not gonna happen.....
Thank you all for posting. Appreciate it! nm

There is more than one ME posting here :)
but I'm not one who believes your company is supplying work to Barbados.
Instead there is an *appearance* of mining the workforce there for a CHEAPER labor force than what you can find in the U.S.
Where are your 200 online students located? In the US?

another posting...
I see this person has posted again today. Is there anyway to check if this is a legitimate company? It is kinda hard to tell with an aol email address 
Thank you for posting that, SM
It sounds as if our experiences were very similar. I'm leaving at the end of next week. I can tell from your posts we were on the same large account.
I thought it was just ME. I was working hard too, trying to learn all the gazillons of doctors and locations, etc. and my line counts were in the toilet. I have 10 plus years of experience so I'm NOT a newbie. My DH and I figured I am making about $800/month less than I was a year ago at this time. Yep, it was THAT bad.
Oh, and nice people. Really nice people to deal with most of the time. However, nice isn't paying my bills!!
Anyway, thanks for posting, because it's really good to hear I'm not the only one! I feel so isolated working there.
Happy Thanksgiving!
I have seen someone posting they had 15
accounts in their profile and that they had no work a couple of months ago. Who in the world wants 15 sets of account specifics to deal with and hundreds of dictators.
I'm so glad I left Webmedx. I now have 1 account that has enough work for me to work 24/7 if I want to.
Thanks for posting
I was thinking to supplement or do 2 part time. I have used DQS and really like it, maybe just because I got used to it, I don't know. I just don't like the feeling of being at the mercy of having income dependent on only one source, especially when things slow down and everyone seems to have TAT of about 30 seconds anymore on what is there. Anyway, thanks again for the info!
Hey where did u see a job posting for them?
Maybe if i reapply and get rehired they will PAY me the several thousand they already owe me! Yeah right! Run as far away as possible. Seriously though, please share with us the hiring process because I guarantee you at least 9 people are on the lookout and are dying to know.
What does sm and nm mean when posting?
Trying to learn the lingo!
?? Who IS this guy, & why is he posting all this
Why does he think any of us CARE about office politics in India?
Posting here regarding this,
A lot of people have not kept their contracted promise, at least I gather that, because they now have the prn program where for a lower line rate you can work anytime you want and at any line count you want. Apparently, months ago a lot of people were not living up to their promise, and so they hired to compensate. Now there are those who do keep a promise and run out of work because of the lack of balance. So they put in this prn program so that those of us who do keep the line counts and promises have more work when the prn program kicks in. Problem is, how does an MT keep a full time line promise when work keeps running out. I plan on asking for as many accounts as possible to stay on because work is low everywhere at least from what I can see and this company is at least honest regarding pay and the essentials. I think that it is combination of MDI having to keep client contract with TAT, and the overhiring to compensate when already-hired MTs did not keep their promise. MDI is trying to make up for that now, don't know, however, if enough people don't leave or if enough new accounts are not won, if we will ever be able to all have work.
Thanks for posting that...
some MTs do not take pride in their work and it is so frustrating.
Thank you for posting this..sm
Very interesting. I doubt that anything will actually come of it, at least in the near future, but it sure is nice to see our concerns in print and backed up by a study.
Thanks for posting this
Thank you for posting this! I work for Landmark and I start working for Probity in January. It's nice to see the opinions of my two employers and I liked the opinions they expressed. Intersting article.
Thanks for posting...
I have never personally worked with you before, but thank you for posting. As MTs we have our own frustrations, but I think we sometimes forget that MTSOs are facing their own issues as well. I imagine it's not easy to balance keeping in TAT and not overhiring, keeping MTs happy and also keeping clients happy. There is a lot of behind-the-scenes juggling that goes on that we MTs never deal with. That's part of the reason I am an MT and have no desire to be an MTSO. 
Thank you for posting this....
This is what I meant above by how a company is saying work this shift as an IC at this line rate. As an IC, I have the right to work when I choose to work, not when my clients choose. If my clients want to make demands (and yes I have one client that is an MTSO), then I would become an employee at that point and they must pay my taxes.
I've seen people post as employees saying they have no work during their shift and are asked to flex, which is also wrong. It's just crazy how this profession continues to be used and abused and now there are MTs convinced it's okay because they need a job. It's just a neverending cycle. JMO.
