I wanna be you!!!!!!!!

probably not what you wanna hear, but (sm)
MQ offers all that you are looking for. For employees, they provide equipment, pay half of your Internet or phone, whichever format you use, have reasonable benefits..though I do not get them-another story, fair pay-on time no less, regular raises, and steady work. I sound like a recruiter but I'm not, I'm just an MT who is very happy with MQ. My advice would be to give them a try, what have you got to lose? Good luck, whichever way you choose to go!
I'm not a disgruntled MT wanna-be. I'm
and she's a suspicious, condescending, controlling person. She doesn't like anyone she can't keep under thumb.
It's no different discussing her than discussing companies.
Go away if you don't like it, Laurie. We see your rose-colored glasses -- they have a fracture in the lenses, dear! LOL
Nah, but don't wanna name names. nm

wanna warn us on who that was? nm

You might wanna check with HR
I thought the same thing. I was told by HR there is a credit given to offset the difference.
wanna macro
Hi, If anyone has keyboard steps to set up a macro for speech to delete a period and replace it with a comma and one space instead of two, I'd love to hear from you. Also, the reverse would be good. I'd like to deleted the comma, place a period and have two spaces afterwards instead of one. I got the code on Productivity Talk from Ed Webber, but it was like reading Greek; I was lost! Or, it someone knows of a book I can purchase to learn to do these macros, that would be good too! Thanks to any who reply!
Ha, wanna hear something really funny
I left them for another job and then was going to get rehired part-time. They called me and said they couldn't rehire me part-time because they found out that the day I quit, I was actually going to be let go for not doing a good job! I said, what are you talking about, no one ever said anything to me. Then Lee sent me an email saying that it was a big mistake and never mind. Then the account I was going to go on was going to be starting up in a week, then a month, then I never heard another word from them! Then Karen called me quite a while later and said they had an account coming on and she would call me the next day to get set up. I said okay for the extra work. No call, ever. I decided that enough was enough and that things would never change. I see by current posts things still haven't! Ha. Go figure!
Also, I was quite offended as I have never been let go from anywhere and have never had a complaint about my work. But then I had to remember who the source was and just let it go.
Hey I wanna get padi more for less keystrokes!
Don't wanna run out of work? Beware of OSI's ad
They can't keep people on that clinic account because they are ALWAYS RUNNING OUT OF WORK since the work is offshored to India! 
JLG'ers wanna take a bet on which day checks
and the 10th is on a Friday ?? Maybe on the 15th??? Still no word on DD??
If you wanna hear from them, you gott BUG THEM!!!!
Send an e-mail to HR off the website... Do this daily until you hear from them.
I did take the test and sent in resume at same time though. I kept bugging them... I said I would like to know how I did on my test and if they received my resume and how I could not wait to work there....
Now I work there.
Do they still use DOS software with a dial-up modem? You don't wanna do that! nm

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.
Yeah, ya might wanna learn to read there.
Where did I say I didn't make my line count? Geeze, sure hope you're not an Editor with those eagle eyes there.
Seriously, name one thing I mentioned that's not true.
FYI, Spheris has MT formus where folks can discuss things amongst themselves. All of the issues I brought up have been bemoaned on the boards. Just passin' on the info, friend.
Lighten up.
You might wanna look down a ways. BrokeMT can't seem to get paid by them.
I'm pretty sure she is not going to recommend them.
Wanna work for an hourly QA position?
1. The reason it is hourly is so they can pay you on a 1980's pay scale. It is nothing more than bait to use as an excuse to pay you less.
2. Many hourly QAs tend to dump jobs they don't want for someone else to do the dirty work. The high producers who care about their work end up doing most of the work.
3. If you get paid by the line you make at least 50% more. I left an hourly QA job about a month ago for one that pays by the line and I doubled my income within two weeks. By working on the long jobs other QAs don't want, I make a lot of money.
4. Hourly QAs make about half of what good MTs make.
5. QA in general is one of the most thankless jobs around. I left MT for QA so I could share my knowledge. What a joke. The MTs argue with you and never stop making the same mistakes. Not only did I lose a lot of income, I hated coming to work every day to get the same reports from the same lazy MTs and then get nasty emails from the same MTs. I got stuck with the jobs the other hourly QAs didn't know how to do or didn't want to do. Why should they care? They get paid no matter what.
Don't accept job unless you wanna work for free
Your right DIT ONCE was a great company to work for..That was when Donna Dana had ownership in and ran the company..DIT has continued to pass bad checks since about October of 2008. Oh yeah, they say you will get paid..and they do send out replacement checks...but they bounce also...They have changed banks three times...I could go on and on as well as MANY others...There are MANY, MANY emails circulating from employees or former employees about these issues. They are JUST about to get themselves in legal trouble as there are MANY lawyers who have been contacted on this and are working on this issue...It's is a very sad situation for what was once an AWESOME company to work for..

There's an old saying in life, justme- a wanna-be public defender...
it's better to be silent and be thought of as an idiot, than to speak and remove all doubt. Now, you removed all doubt....
I wanna think that OSI has an ad up stating that now have benefits for part-timers..Other than that,
I do not think many do. Everyone was saying how Wedmedx did, but when I checked into it, their idea of PT was like 35 hours or something, but I could be wrong and I do believe they are also fairly rigid about those 35 hours. I think anyone that offers health insurance is going to ask for a fairly strict schedule and probably FT but you never know. You might also check into your local hospitals. I know they do have insurance and usually pretty good for PT.
Wanna share your words of wisdom on who these companies are so we can be spared...
nm
Wanna give the rest of us instructions on how to make a line count like that, aside from doing all
m
Take your pick..lol.
I was wondering, was Proscript the place that did not pay for macros? There was 1 company I worked for that had loads of macros but you did not get paid for them.
And they pick up dog-poo, too.
Can you pick up?
I am still in the hiring process but very hopeful. I live within 3 miles of the JLG office, does anyone know if they allow employees to pick up their checks from the office? This would not be a deal breaker for me because I would just be grateful to work for them, but it is a concern nonetheless especially because I bank out of state.
You cannot pick and choose
I don't know how you think you can pick and choose. You get the jobs assigned to you by the queue managers. You cannot even see what jobs are available.
SS has been a terrific company for me. I too stick to schedule but at times have to flex because of kids, etc. and they do not have a problem with that from time to time.
you can pick from 3 different shifts
10-6, 11-7 or 12-8 and I believe you have to work Tues-Sat or Sun-Thurs. You type and get paid hourly, but you have to do a minimum of 1000 lines a day. That's about it in a nutshell.
They paid to have UPS come pick up
the equipment, but they ignored numerous emails from me and I then got a threatening letter about suing me for not returning their equipment. There was a delay in the final pay. No exit interview. I was civilized, however, A was not.
This is why MTs "cherry-pick"! nm
S
the one I was on, you had to pick from the unassigned ones
nm
What do you mean by pick from the unassigned ones? nm

KS does not pick the platforms...
that the facilities they contract with use. Those platforms and their requirements, like ULLD, are almost always in place when KS contracts with them. I hear MTs get upset about C-phones and why any MTSO would use them but the MTSO is going with what the facility wants/has been using. These platforms are network-wide for some very large health networks sometimes, and they can be reluctant to pull the plug on one that has served them well for sometimes a very long time...not to mention the costs involved.
WILL BE ABLE TO CHERRY-PICK - sm
to your heart's content, if that's your choice and you are fortunate enough to get the kind of Lead job where you have control of work flow & distribution, as they do in my company. As bad as the Q may have been in some important areas, I always got my lines. Work was allowed to self-distribute naturally ...THE NEXT FREE MT GOT THE NEXT AVAILABLE JOB. We had 1 supervisor, not 2 dozen people we had to answer to, as today's top-heavys.
But as long as the same person who assigns/distributes the work (Leads) also types on the accounts & has FIRST CHOICE of jobs -- well, where does leave the rest of us?? With 101% $---t, that's what! That and being salaried, too! I'd be a Lead for HALF of the little they're paying us now and I bet I'd get more done if the playing field between Leads and peon MTs were evened out a little.
so pick up your own accounts, get 5 sm
people and see how well you do. The headache of listening to whining, complaining MTs is not worth it! Granted there are MTSOs making tons of money and yes some are scr****g their employees/ICs. But, if you think running a business and putting up with all of it is a piece of cake, you are sadly mistaken!
If you pick one up and notice it's VR, is it
Hopefully the speed will pick-up
a part-time job to cover that lull. Crying here and not to be unkind is really not going to help your situation. We can give you a big ole awwwww, but that's not going to help. Get a part-time job.
You all need to pick up some Feen-A-Mint
nm
....pick up the slack and keep TAT in check! nm
x
Pick up the phone and call
x
Yes it will be a threat. It will just pick up these sounds of
chewing and make words out of them. Yep.
If you could pick between OSi and TransTech, which would you choose? nm
x
Decision made on who to pick!
After reading all the feedback, I decided to go with Keystrokes. MQ just seems to iffy with work compared to Keystrokes, who certainly has some good feedback from fellow MTs. 
If your question is can you cherry pick
Your queue is preset for your work types and they come in according to TAT. You can't pick and choose what you want to type. That is established beforehand.
So do they cherry pick at Transtech?
nm
Transform or Accustat, which would you pick to go for
I am undecided.
Inviting new members, maybe it will pick up
Everybody is scrambling for lines because its slim pickings now, afraid to spend time in the group for fear of losing a job to type. JMO.
When will work pick back up? nm
x
Which would you pick. Just wanting advice, and different
points of view:
FutureNet, E-Transplus, or MDI.
Perhaps a combination of 2 of the above? Any advice welcome. Having to decide. Thanks in advance.
DON'T pick Superior Global...
Superior Global has bad uneducated QAs, bad team leaders, horrible! They had one great team leader (started with a J), but she resigned and it has gone downhill ever since. They offer incentives once in awhile and then forget they offered them. No bonuses for anything. Just poorly ran. On the plus side if you aren't meeting production, they don't really care, very disorganized and they can't remember any schedules so it can be pretty flexible. They also don't have direct deposit, so you have to wait for your paper check.
