capitalism is the best -- just look at the world around you. and there ARE plenty of honest businesses. if you are so disillusioned, go ahead and go live in another part of the world, and see how well you like it.

My, my, having a bad morning? Sheesh.
I can't see what was so offensive about the first post.
Has nothing to do with favoritism - sheesh (sm)
I can only reiterate what the posters below me said. You pick the schedule, so you are expected to stick to it. Do I take short breaks? Of course I do. Do I ever have an appt that I can't make after work hours? Yes. I let them know as far in advance as I can. That's all they ask. If something comes up of an emergent nature, all you have to do is let them know. That's all they ask - I don't think that is unreasonable. They are running a business, and a very good one, I might add. They want to keep it that way. Flexibility is one thing, irresponsibility is another.
my thoughts exactly - sheesh !

Sheesh! The BS never ends in this
business. I was told for sure that it was all accounts. What a surprise. Just another line. Doesn't this get tiresome? Thanks for clarifying. Guess they saw me coming.

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!
ek is full of it.
sorry ek but you have been outed.

OMG but you are full of yourself! sm
You know, we really want to be behind you cos I'm sure all of us would HATE to be in your friend's shoes, but you sure are alienating all of us with the way you respond to us.
Please remember where your anger should be directed -- toward the guilty party, not US.
And telling us what to post is really over the top. (Support the post or don't write anything please.) This is a public forum and we are all entitled to our own opinions, and just because you said to not comment on how the situation got to where it is now does NOT mean that we have to comply. If someone is curious, they have every right to ask. You may choose not to answer, however.
Hey, you're in luck then. They're hiring! (nm)

If you're PT you're required to work
8 of your hours in one weekend day. There's no extra pay for it though.

We're not 'so scared' of it. We're trying to help
you to not make a huge mistake, but I guess you're determined to learn the hard way, so good luck with that.
If you're in the 37% tax bracket, you're making over
100K per year. Quit complaining.
As far as I know they only pay if you have AT&T. I'm full-time also and don't get anything fo

JLG does for full time.
They do not for part time though.
consider the MT already has a full-time job, though

Keystrokes Full
I've interviewed with them, went through the process, only to find they have no openings for what I'm looking for at the moment. I type the big 4 and ER. Think they had clinic available, but not interested......
Full timer here
I work as an Editor for them. The platform couldn't be any simpler, honestly. Good mixture on most of the accounts as far as ESL/other. Growing like crazy!! The bonuses are for real as well. Very nice folks to work for and plenty plenty of work; in fact they are trying to get more MTs on board to be able to stop sending so much out.
Full time
Thanks for the info!
Is that full or part?
No message
Can you tell me what they consider to be full-time? TIA nm

I would rather not give the full name...sm
of the company with the line counting issues, but they are out of Florida and start with an M. There have been several posts lately about them running out of work and a major change in management. Hopefully, that is enough information for you. 
Use full name of owner. nm
I do VR full time...
The best platform by far is Escription which is very productive. I was nervous about VR too but even with 50% pay per line I am making a lot more money overall. I do have some typing but the older the account is the better the VR is. Some notes i barely have to edit now. If I straight type I average around 200 lph (acute care) but on VR I do well over 500+. Escription learns indefinitely, so the longer the account has been there the better it is. I try to keep my lines per hour on VR at least above 250 which even on a brand new account has never been an issue, so I have made out. The typing break is great and I absolutely love it. If you have more specific questions, feel free to email me. (I am just an MT and not management for a company or anything like that.) 
For full-time
line count is 11,000 per pay period and for PT it is 5000. They're pretty reasonable on QA, not nearly as bad as other companies.
positions are all full

full time
full time pay scale for IC 3000 lines 7.5 cpl, 6000 9 cpl anything above 6000 is 10 cpl.
I actually came full circle...
I'm back working with the same wonderful ladies who hired me back in 2002 when I first moved to Maine. They are just a small local MTSO and they are absolutely the bees knees to work for...I couldn't be happier. Well, I mean, unless I won powerball or something--then the grin would be really hard to smack off my face.
45K full time.

If and when you do go full time - please keep us
posted. I will be interested to see if it continues to be easily 250 lines per hour. Some companies take the good part timers and lure them into full time just to dump horrible dictators on them. Let us know if this happens to you.
I think most recruiters are full of HOT AIR, and -
during the recruiting/testing/hiring process, they promise a heckuva lot more than the company ever actually delivers. There are already too many 'suits' lurking on this board, as it is.
