These are my figures bases on FT 160 hours.
So if do 20,000 lines per pay period equals
10,000 lines per week = 250 lines an hour per 8 hr (every hour)
you get 7.5 cents a line Woww eee
($1500 a month - so work 40 hours a week X 4 equal 160 hours equal ONLY $9.37 hour for all the skill and accuracy.
thank you! I'll consider that straight from the horses mouth..so to speak.

I've heard good and bad, just want facts from the horses mouth.
I have also heard great things about this company, only recently have I heard bad things. If they post on this message board they supposedly do not offshore work. The moderator would definitely have something to say about that, don't you think?
Does that make sense to you?
No Way! We show horses too
There's no way I would give it up for a job. As you know, it's an addiction. I am willing miss an event now and then, and try to work my schedule around the horse events, but I would not give it up entirely. And to give up your dogs too? I think you'd be miserable.
I don't think we're the ones who need to get off our high horses
We're not the ones who are irritated by a simple question.
Just hold your horses, ain't Christmas yet!
I think you need to check your mouth
9 cpl/gross does NOT equal 13 cpl/character, maybe 11 but not 13.
This was from the horse's mouth.
Perhaps you need to get a new horse.
Remember the packet changes are effective January 1, not today.
It's unfortunate you aren't being paid for downtime. I was paid several times for 40 hours, when my hours fell short.
I see the packet as MQs move to finally consolidate EVERYONE onto the same plan of management so this ridiculous "but my office says and it's true" stuff can stop.
The horse's mouth would be
The Administrator can only go by what she is told by the company directly or an MT has to produce proof that they offshore before she prevents them from posting on this board.
Mush Mouth
THOSE are the words that describe exactly what I have had to type also, so I REALLY feel bad for you. I have spent half an hour on a 60-second report, so OBVIOUSLY, my line count is going to be pathetic. But when I say that I'm having a hard time due to short, difficult reports (trying to put it nicely as opposed to doing mush mouth reports!!), I just get told that they have MTs that do short reports just like I'm doing, and that they have no problem making 1000 lines a day. RIGHT; WRONG!!! There is NO way to make 1000 lines a day when you have short reports and mush mouth dictators, which unfortunately, most dictators do NOT dictate clearly. What irks me is some of them could easily dictate clearly, but they just start dictating in this tired, slow voice. I'm sure they are probably overworked and under paid also, but it's just as easy to dictate a report clearly as it is to dictate it muffled and mush mouthed. I left MT for a few months and then got desperate and went back to work, but it hasn't even been a month, and I'm already tired of the same old problems as above. I have no normals or templates that I know of, just a bunch of doctors dictating the same old stuff. Am about ready to quit, once again. I need the money, though, so I don't have any options.
LOL - You took the words right out of my mouth.
NM
Are you a typical TT MT, with that mouth???
x
Thanks. Maybe better keep my mouth shut. (sm)
My main account is one of those with boldings on and off all over the place. Really a pain on ASR work.
Unless this gets to be more than a couple of minutes at a time I will just sit back and consider myself lucky.
Thanks for your help.
from the horse's mouth
Per company e-mail from Transcend CEO, the merge is with Transcription Relief Services.
Don’t put words in my mouth, what I am saying is
I would rather have $5.00 than absolutely no money at all. Anyone who does not understand this has something wrong with them. I do not work for that but she quit her job without anything else no now 0 money. Now do you understand?
I think it's somebody running their mouth
nm
I have never been one to keep my mouth shut -this happened to me,and
I told the supervisor, who did put a stop to it. Turns out this girl was assigning herself the good work and the supe didn't watch it. However, I have also heard of other supes who just let it go, and if they did that after you mentioning it, I'd be on my way out the door, for sure.
Also, most of these positions are word of mouth.
You do not see these positions advertised because it is about knowing each other and word of mouth.
You took the words right outa my mouth!

The reason people bad mouth them is
because not everyone has it as peachy as you do. Some are constantly in the c-pool or run out of work. Some have PS's that do not communicate anything. Some have ASR accounts that are so bad they have to erase everything and start all over. Some get reprimanded for punching in 5 minutes late while some punch in an hour late and get no discipline.
Some have rad accounts that pay for each separate body part while others lump it all into 1. I don't do rad personally, but I've seen enough of it to know that it doesn't pay fairly - it's by the report with some reports being counted as 1 while some are separated into reports per body part.
While I'm about 75% happy with MQ, there are many that aren't that happy and even some that are happier than that. There are just too many variables at MQ, which is probably what irritates me the most. Second in line is the fact I haven't had a raise in more than 5 years and my current pay rate isn't that great. I personally don't care for E-time (our timecard system), but that's because I don't like any timecard system.
The best advice I can give you is if you are currently employed, do not quit that job until you've tried out the new place for a while and you know it's a good fit. Good luck.
You are putting words in my mouth....sm
so to speak. I never said I have not looked for work while employed or looked for better benefits, platform, etc. And of course I have found companies where the negatives outweighed the positives and caused me to look for work elsewhere. There is nothing wrong with that. What I am against is an MT purposely hiring on simultaneously with multiple companies to weed out those she/he finds unacceptable. To me, that is highly unethical, and I am quite sure most MT companies would agree. In fact, there are some companies that prohibit working for other companies while in their employ.
My whole intent and purpose in posting originally was the hope of shedding a different light on the MT profession, but apparently there are so many here who are so bitter and angry that they refuse to see any other side but their own. Bitterness is a vicious animal that will eat away at you, leaving one empty and desolate while the object of one's bitterness remains unscathed. Do you really think that is the solution to the MT industry's problems?
Yeah, probably spoken from the mouth...sm
of someone who has never suffered ONE SINGLE hardship in her pampered life. Put yourself in someone else's shoes. Some of you on this board........you may have it made and do not NEED this job as your sole income. some of you have probably NEVER had a hardship or anything happen to you. If you are fortunate to have never known hunger, poverty, etc.........good for you.
For some of you, this job is just a hobby, for MORE it is something we do because we HAVE TO WORK AND HAVE TO MAKE MONEY, PAY BILLS, EAT, AND ALL the other things that we need just to LIVE.........
another poster shooting off their mouth sm
when they don't have a clue.. I am off today, not that its any of your business. BTW, how do you know how much I am posting if you are not reading? AHHHHHHHH but I guess you can type and read posts too right? Get a life!
Directly
No use taking things up with them directly, nothing ever changes, it is their way or the highway. Furthermore, they will never return your phone calls.
As far as not wanting you to post on message boards, hmmmm wonder why? Do you think maybe they know they do not have a good reputation and that might get out? Be careful, Big Brother is watching, NOT. This is America Folks chat on!!!!!!
I thought this was mgmt also but kept my mouth shut...nm

Foot in mouth. Sorry :) I never heard it mentioned.
I thought that Mantis was the OSi platform.
I don't wanna put words in the company's mouth
because I don't know if the insurance type/coverage varies from state to state or not. I have to provide insurance for both my husband and I (through DeVenture) and well, that does take a bite out of the ol' paycheck I must admit. However, when I was getting just coverage for myself, so long as I made 7000+ lines a week, they paid 90% of the cost, and that wasn't too shabbyof a deal at all.
Directly to a hospital.

Look at the post directly below yours or look
at the ads on the job boards.
You might try contacting QA directly ...
I agree, this makes no sense and my guess is all the HIPPA folderol is just a smokescreen this person is throwing up (for whatever I do not wanna deal with this or stick my neck out for ANY reason) ...
alternatively -- I would recommend saving each and every report you type from this person AND THEN flagging the report for QA so you can fill in your own blanks if no one wants to help you. I type several doctors who -- without samples -- speak in some impenetrable monotone ... without my file of samples, their reports would be moth-eaten.
good luck - if your company has a chat board or if contacting someone else on that account/WT might be a (much less convenient and/ or discrete) alternative.
Good luck, Yes, people do actually quit jobs over dictators like that ... too bad so many companies seem to blame the MT and some imaginary work ethic problems when the real problem, imho, is lack of support.
All this turnover of MTs (or any other employee class) is VERY VERY bad for any company's bottom line... but so many companies seem to blame the MT personally ... it poisonous.
I emailed you directly nm

Look at post directly below yours
I contacted them directly and they
told me they were NOT hiring..... Makes me sad :(
She said that the OP directly told her
and other coworkers all these things in instant message.
If the hospital employees know, then the company knows. Keep your mouth shut and get out.

With a Smart A mouth like yours, I woulda charged ya double
LOL...............
I've not worked for them directly, but have been...
in contact with the upper management off an on for other matters. Very personable, level-headed, and presumably much SANER than some other company higher-ups that we've all discussed here!
You may want to call and ask them directly on Monday...
but I believe it depends on the way you were hired. If you are an hourly employee, your PTO would be paid at that rate. If you are production based, your PTO rate is paid at your average production over a period of three months. You must maintain a minimum line count though. Rochelle would know better.
loudspeakers directly overhead? I could
ouch
E-mail me directly, I'm not posting it on here
too often, and I don't want them to figure out who I am before I make my decision. All I can tell you on here is, make sure whatever you agree to with them, you GET IT IN WRITING.
Talk to the CFO directly. Don't stand for this.

No. Then you get the great "work for us directly"

Why not send this to her email directly?
I think you should take this to her via email. Its easy enough to create an alternate ID so you would not be identified if you are trying to be anonymous.
I quite agree with communicating directly
It takes absolutely zero integrity to post grievances on an anonymous chat board. In my view, integrity demands that we take our complaints to those who have the power to do something about them--otherwise you are not handling the complaints productively or with integrity--you are just whining. As they used to say back in the day, don't say behind someone's back what you would not say right to their face. I think the way MDI has been treated on this board is shameful. Many of you owe an apology for your behavior and actions. (And have you considered that what you say can be legally actionable?) If any company works for you, stay; if it does not work for you, leave. There are all kinds of companies for all kinds of people. Keep trying and you are likely to find the right fit. Please consider how you might feel if someone came on a chat board and bashed you anonymously. You know, that old saying about the Golden Rule? In my book, anonymous attacks are about the cheapest sellout there is, integrity-wise. Think about it.
Ask a simple question, everyone goes directly
.
In my communication directly with Transcend...
I was informed they do not have PT openings, only full-time.
As I believe CynicalMT said, TRUST NO ONE at this juncture.
I believe both companies are simply trying to keep everyone calm until THEY decide to drop the other shoe.
Contact me directly. Addy inside

Apply directly to companies. Call them. sm
NEVER post your resume and personal info on the internet.
Not so. Can barely get 9 cents directly from the doctor!
Doctors see all these Indian companies offering 6 cpl, balk at 9 to 10 cpl, and they want it printed, free courier service, ect.
Taken directly from social security web site
I am full retirement age (FRA) and still working; do I report my earnings to Social Security?
Question
I am full retirement age and still working. Do I have to report my earnings to Social Security?
Answer
When you reach full retirement age you no longer need to report your earnings to Social Security.
You do, however, need to report earnings for those months in the calendar year before the month you reach full retirement age. For example, if you reach it in May, you would need to report your earnings for the four earlier months.
The law also changed the annual earnings limit for workers who reach full retirement age during the year. During those months before you reach full retirement age, your benefits would be reduced $1 for each $3 you earned over the limit which is $37,680 in 2009 and $36,120 in 2008.
With your negative attitude, poor spelling skills and foul mouth,
I'm inclined to side with the MTSO on this one.
