phone and you use it to dial into the a system directly. Usually you are dialing directly into the hospital's dictation system. It has a foot pedal attached. Depending on the company you will need unlimited long distance, unless they have a local number of 800#.

Look at the big picture
I know what you mean. I left a hospital situation because of some of what you describe .. no newbies playing though ;-) You will have no PTO or seniority at home and it is hard to work with family underfoot. Ask to have your place changed and get yourself some of those soundproofing earsets that are available out there so that the noise is muffled and you can block out the rest of the world. I can still get lost in a room full of people if I am concentrating .. a blessing to be sure. You will miss the things you are now taking for granted such as PTO and seeing people .. even some of the ones who drive you nuts. Health benefits are not easily available or very good at home either!
No picture
I went to affiliates, but it does not list Medscribe???
You are right to look at the big picture, and
you seem very mature. Unfortunately, a lot of us (at least me) who work at home can get paranoid or feelings hurt even though we are professionals. I was a manager in this biz years ago, and upmost in my mind was that my team supported me, kept me in a job and if I had to discipline I did it sparingly and with full research first. I also went about it and ended up usually getting a more loyal employee, because if there were problems, it rarely had to do with the stated issue. As a manager, rather than jumping, it is important to weigh carefully, watch the situation and consider long-term repercussions to being nasty in any sense of the word. So, I agree you are a very professional person and have a high self esteem and you have the right approach. However, not everyone is as lucky as you, and some seek some positive contact, being so isolated working at home. I would say midground is always best. But big picture idealism best for everyone involved. If I had just kept my mouth shut instead of leaving and then talked to the higher up person how there was a miscommunication initially on the interview regarding scheduling, I am sure I would be there for the rest of my career. That is my personal experience. But, at the time, and even now since I have become strictly IC, I never ever want to be put down or disrespected by anyone most especially the person who is supposed to be supporting me as part of a profitable and mutually beneficial business relationship. Just IMHO.

If you go to her website, that picture is there with her...
name below the paragraph describing her company. Think she would use a model for that? Lighten up - sounds like you're cooking, too!
Amen to that. I SO get the picture.

For anyone who doesn't get the big picture
I feel sorry for you.
An IC has expenses that are tax deductible and includes all business expenses.
Internet? ULD phone expense? Office space? Fax? ad nau... Honestly, when did we become a group of elitetist, sefl-serving, uneducated group of independent contractors?
I could go on. Instead I will log off. Entitlism is just not something I can stomach on the 4th of July.
The bigger picture sm
I am an MT as well and have been in this business almost 20 years. There are some who have more years invested in this line of work than I do, but 20 years at one job is a long time, and for those of us who have worked at home in this business for that long, it is very difficult to reenter the public work world IF there is a job out there that we might qualify for.
I agree with you in that the entire industry is suffering and has been for the past few years, but when I see company after company not giving raises and, worse yet, cutting line rates, I think it is time to look for employment outside of the MT world. You won't find a better situation in another MT company. They are all swimming in the same murky water and circling the same drain.
No, it's not just MTs who are being impacted, but this is *MY* profession (or what's left of it) and *I* am being impacted with this company's decision to find another way for me to make even less in my paycheck while everything around me...utilities, groceries, gasoline, insurance, etc....is rising to the point that I simply cannot afford to live any more.
I'm a realist as well, and what I see is an entire industry crumbling under the weight of top-heavy management and slave wages for the ones how pay that management. It's time to move on down the road.
A month is not long enough to get the big picture
I've been on the VR for almost a year and started with it on eScription and then went to the new platform about 4-1/2 to 5 months ago. It starts out slow and then you gradually pick up and start thinking that it's getting better. But you reach a point when no matter how hard you try you don't get any faster. That's when you realize that you've already achieved the fastest you can go in editing. After about a year, there has been about a 28% increase in line production and even that's not consistent because it depends on the dictators you get. Every day is different. The maximum line increase is nowhere near the 40% cut in pay.
Yes, always good to have full picture.

Is that your own piggy in the picture? It's precious! :) nm

After reading below, seeing your picture, still lauging!
Love it.
then you haven't been in the picture long enough..
Yeah people let loose everyday, but do nothing but whine like little puppies. This person is actually gonna do something about it even if it's for her friend. Wrong is wrong.
It doesnt matter how long her MT friend stayed. I don't care if it was for $300.
Oh, you can SPEAK all you want, have you ever been in a situtation where you had to fight to get your money whether it be $300 or $5000? I rest my case.
Where on the site is the picture located?
I always get a mental picture of that poster
Not to be mean, but I always picture that poster clawing at her face and pulling her own hair whenever I read her posts. All the unnecessary capitalization, the countless exclamation points...I just picture her in my mind having this massive meltdown and screaming at the top of her lungs while ripping out her hair and clawing her face. I don't even try to envision, it just strikes me as being a mini-meltdown and I can't take the post seriously. I write it off to overly dramatic, sigh and move on.
Not arguing, haven't started yet. Just trying to get the whole picture here.

You have to show a picture proving you have a door?? sm
Man, that is really getting picky. I would fail that requirement, I'm sure a lot of us would! Sounds like they are TRYING to make it impossible for you to continue with them.
Big discussion a few weeks ago about them wanting a 3 x 5 picture of you sm
and your work space. They are a major outsourcer, as well.
Do the 30 minutes and leave the rest, then she'll get the picture.

A picture/website speaks a thousand words.
Thanks for this input. It is definitely a wake up call.
As opposed to what sort of "panties" she wears normally? Thanks for that mental picture!
typos on this board are to be forgiven, but new company's numerous errors and the picture they
painted for our first impression of someone in whom we are required to put practically our entire life details in an email back to them left much to be desired in my opinion (by this MT).
Can you say google
Use google
x
If you google, there are, but only 1 for MT.
nm
YES, it is. It's in the BOS. Google it.
It is in the BOS 2nd edition on page 66 that it is customary to use single space after sentence. It also says it's determined by department, and it's basically optional otherwise as long as you are consistent.
I didn't just make it up. lol
You can google it
Did you google?
I did. Pops right up.
Yes, actually did google
Yes, you are correct.
Google it...
That'd be a good place to start, x.
Go and Google it!
I wanted to find out more information about this company before I decided to send in my resume. I could not find anything by typing in the company name on Google, so I typed in the email address that was listed in the job posting. I found some interesting websites associated with this email account.....go and look!!!!!!!!
Use the google box just above your
post. It does the more recent stuff.
Can't find anything on Google, but
Did they post somewhere? Can you glean a potential site address off of their email, if they did post something?
Hopefully it's a tiny company that pays wonderfully, has clear docs, and turns out to be the perfect job.
Good luck!

My first day I was so frustrated, during my break I went to check MT Jobs, I immediately got 2 IM's and a phone call.......and a raise! Imagine that, how would they know otherwise?
Do a Google search for
Cbay India Maryland transcription
and see what comes up. Nearly 1,000 hits. Honestly, you can do better than that.
There is a Google box right under the words
type in what you want to search and then click the circle beside 'mtstars' located right below the Google box, then search. This will bring up archives on your topic, if there are any.
