They have both kinds of accounts...nm

What kinds of accounts did you have in which you could average 250-350 lph?
I've been with MDI for years now and have worked on the same hospital account for years also. The best I can get is an AVERAGE of about 200 lph. Sure, I get the occasional 250 lph here and there, but I can't say I average that on a daily basis by any means. The only time I've ever actually averaged 250-350+ an hour was with ER or radiology work, and it wasn't at MDI either.
At 11 cpl and averaging 250-350 per hour, that would put you around $30+ an hour. I find it hard to believe anyone would really quit a job making this kind of money, and I wonder if you were really able to manage this working on hospital accounts or was it some other type of work?
Of course, you are right. Just wondering what kinds of accounts .. sm
like when they answered cancer hospital below. Anyway, it sounds like too new many accounts at once. I'd probably get stuck with 2 or 3 accounts at once, i.e., too risky for me. I even received an email inviting me to test. I had worked there before, and I realize this email went out to a whole group of people, but I just think I'll pass.
Svl kinds of software for many accounts. Pay starts at 8-9 cpl. Want

Two kinds of flames
flame icon beside a post on MTStars means it is a hot topic (I believe 200 or more hits)
The job hoppers are 2 kinds-SM
The first is the person who really does this for extra money and isn't too serious about it. They have a 2nd income from spouse, don't need insurance, etc.
The second group is a minority in the MT community, but is responsible for the perception that most of us are job hoppers. These people are kind of off--and by that I mean personality-wise, don't like being told what to do, very demanding, prima donna kinds of MTs with very dramatic lives. They need the money, but they also have a personality disorder that makes them upset at any kind of direction given and they also believe they have superior skills to most MTs and deserve to be catered to.
THAT group is the group who posts that they stayed at XX Company for 1 or 2 weeks, got fed up with something and left, stayed at XX Enterprises for a month, got fed up..cycle continues. I am not talking about not getting paid-that's a real problem. I am talking about people who live in such chaos that they cannot really settle down enough to work for ANY company for long and they also don't recognize that the common denominator in the job changes is THEM.
Then what kinds of questions should we ask on this forum?
?
You got that right. Focus has their hands in all kinds of
cookie jars. I'm glad to know this though. Considering a QA position with them.
In addition, all kinds of innuendos .sm
by them (i.e., sexual; suicide, etc) before any sort of investigation, autopsy, or in short, before they know the facts.
Hats off to his brother, Keith, for demanding an FBI investigation.
wow TT hires alll kinds...
eMTS uses several kinds of software. Ask when you apply. nm

KS has many accts, many different kinds of software, many TLs, etc. Some of us just weren't
d
No, not familiar at all. Do they do medical tranny or other kinds? nm
s
good for you; those kinds of companies will never be stable

I detest companies saying these kinds of things about current/former
How can you possibly KNOW that those who are _still with us_ are _very happy, blah, blah_? Are you telekenetic? Did you have lie detector tests performed? Perhaps they speak ill of you and you just are not aware of it. Perhaps they feel they have no alternative but to stay with your company but wish they could leave. How do you know what it is your employees honestly feel or think and then speak for them? Did they collectively ask you to do so?
I'm shaking my head at how you just don't seem to get it. This isn't the first time you've been offered the words I offer you today.
I know many MTs will bash companies here and I cannot explain why I feel this way, but when a company comes on and _defends_ itself in this manner, it turns me against ever having anything to do with it. This isn't the first time IMHO you should have left things alone and let outsiders come to their own conclusions.
MTs who are in the know, know where to find information, how to break it all down and make informed decisions for themselves. I don't want to contact you...you brought yourself into my arena and the lions are feeling hungry these days.
Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience. (nothing personal, just a quote I enjoy)
Anyone else finding difficulty doing testing with your foot pedal. I am having all kinds of
problems and cant seem to test in Express Scribe with my foot pedal. Am I going to run into this same problem every time I apply somewhere. I cant do the test without a pedal because it is very long with fast dictators. Even to use and keyboard keys is very difficult so I gave us actually.
don't worry, these kinds of heated threads always die down in a couple of days

Want to call you all kinds of management but showing them, no response at all. zzzzzzzzz

Most companies of all kinds request credit reports these days, fair or not.

"All kinds of industry is offshored" yep, & guess who started it early 1980s?
.
Are they losing accounts. Do most of their accounts stay for long period of time. I have
heard pros and cons about the quality of their work. I guess it is much cheaper than other companies can offer.
Because the girls that monitor the accounts in the office were told the accounts either go on DQS or
move on. All accounts to be with MQ must be on DQS and no more different platforms. ONE ONLY DQS. They can send more work overseas then.
MDI-FL but not all accounts. Only the internet-based ones. C-phone accounts are fine.
So, yes, let me clarify before everyone gets in an uproar.. There is work IF you want to use a C-phone. IF you signed up for an account that is internet-based, you will be disappointed. Not enough work to go around. Just my personal preference.. I have no desire to do a dial-up C-phone account using my long distance.
Some do and have good accounts and fully loaded ESL accounts
Take a look at what is happening in India. For the first time, workers there have money to get themselves into debt by buying high priced items (cars for example). They now protest lower castes being allowed into universities at almost double the previous allowance. Wait until they are highly in debt, begin to feel entitled to a wage equal to that paid inthe US and then, try to form unions, get tossed out into the street and sit back with some Ben and Jerry ice cream and watch the economy collapse and all that dictation come back across the ocean. Timing is everything.
Find out which accounts they are hiring for. They have some ESL accounts that are extremely
difficult to do. I dont know how many accounts they have altogether but as I say, a few are very difficult and I actually dont have a problem with ESLs but these accounts are almost totally ESL. I dont do them anymore.
Well it sounds like no work happens a lot at DSG. How are the accounts as far as decent accounts
and their QA.
Different accounts have different platforms. Most accounts require sm
high speed but I am not sure if satellite is OK.
I don't think that they're hiring right now. I spoke with my lead on Thursday, who said they are focusing on making sure everyone has enough work and moving PTers to FT, eventually moving towards FT only with only weekends as PT. Not 100% sure when that is though.
Hmm..well it goes to show how different it can be between accounts. My "high" ESL accounts s
at WMX are pretty easy in my opinion as well. I wish I had a better answer for you. Hang in there if you can. You have to do what is right for you.
Six accounts?!?! That is nuts! I am on 3 accounts. nm

MQ accounts
You are assuming that MQ has not lost any accounts. Yes the accounts were transferred with the transcriptionists, buy one of my accounts left and went to another service and yes, once an account goes up on the new platform, it is free game for everyone.
I believe they have two ER accounts - one is .09 and one is .10 -
the owner is wonderful to work for, also.
PS: Hi Connie!
How many accounts do you have?
When you get 6 accounts, can work on any of them at any given time, sometimes all in 1 day, and still get less than 2% DC percentage, come back and tell me you're better than me. You're still wet behind the ears and probably don't even realize what a big can of worms you just opened.
Are the Rad accounts going VR?

VR accounts
Does anyone find that you can get more lines or make more money on VR accounts?
RE: VR accounts
Yes.
How did you get three accounts?
????????????????????????? No wonder you have plenty of work - you have three accounts. Duh!!
Their accounts are about 90% ESL sm
And I am talking heavy ESL. Also, even though most of their MTs are ICs, they make you give them a schedule and they bug you if you don't work it. Pay is okay. Work is very sporadic. I have two friends who left there because the work kept running out. QA can be very rude, as well.
You might be better off just getting your own accounts rather than
trying to look for a service that has them. If you feel you must go through a service, then more than likely a small or very small MTSO would be the most likely to have these types of accounts.
Your own accounts (SM)
I read over the other posts today and agree that many of them were brutal, unpleasant, condescending, and unkind. Do not let these types of responses deter you from your goals, plans and visions.
I had my own accounts before I even took
a medical transcription course. I got into MT by accident. I started a home-based secretarial business doing typing and bookkeeping for people. One day, I got a call from this guy wanting to know if I could do his transcription. Sure, why not?! I had repaired transcription machines in a former career field, so what could be so tough about transcribing? I did fine. I've had his account for 8 years now. I also picked up a physical therapy account with four dictators before I finished my MT education, but that account was el cheapo on pay so I dumped them as my skills grew more in demand.
In my opinion, it's easier to have your own accounts because you're doing the same people and the same reports day after day. You can use your Expander to the max. They'll notify you of any corrections or style issues they'd like you to implement. You make more money per line while saving them money versus in-house staff or a national. Make up some business cards and an intro letter on your computer and start sending them out. Forget about all the negative people who are telling you that you can't do it. They're not the boss of you. You are in control of your own destiny. YOU can do it!
You are a pet, get best accounts.

There is no QA on your own accounts. YOU are QA.
QA shouldn't have to catch your versus you're anyway. QA shouldn't have to correct basic skills.
Where was that hop to? Your own accounts?
?
Accounts
Wrong.
Accounts
Sure!
Ask for more accounts, 10-12 may do

MDI still does on some accounts....

What about their accounts...
Have they lost their accounts, too? If not, who is typing them?
I am on 4 different accounts
and I am always out of work!When I call, I get the run around. The center is in India.
They have just taken on several new accounts. nm
Is this your own accounts?
