it is not 40% decrease

In Reply to: Fuzzy math. A 40% cut in pay is not offset by a 40% increase - ??
The memo was only talking about MTs who edit not those who actually transcribe. Believe me, what they are offering is pretty fair compensation for editing as I used to be a transcription manager and also did a lot of editing/QA. It is a lot easier to get a lot more lines editing than transcribing.

Pay Decrease?
Has anyone had a decrease in their pay due to the economy?
39% pay decrease
Is anyone working there that has gotten official information on this 39% pay decrease? This sounds like a good company otherwise.
Pay decrease
The late 70s up to mid 80s was the best time for me personally on making good money. Southern California in 1987, working full-time at a hospital (hourly) and had 1 doctor on the side that was paying me 12 cpl. Of course he had an ulterior motive  but still, he did pay that, and others were paying at least 10. I saw the demise of decent pay go away for MTs with more and more services, Dictation West, etc., then hospitals started dropping transcription from their medical records department.
Can we get it back to something in the middle, decent again? Can the pendulum swing back to normalcy? 
Wow..they used to pay 8 cpl/4 cpl..I wonder why the decrease, oh yeah
Isn't that the standard now. The only profession I know that the wages go down over time instead of up. So much for making a living..pathetic.
Try 9 for decrease and # for increase.

It's not a decrease in pay! That's a BONUS above your LPH sm
base rate. Why don't you wait and see what happens, folks, before jumping to conclusions.
