Cant seem to make them happy...

I started a new job part-time to supplement my income when the national I work for full-time was very, very slow for a couple of months.  My QA rating at the national is 99.98% - and I am audited frequently, in fact 30 reports in the last month.  I starting working for this very small company which has less than 10 transcriptionists and every day I get back this very, very long list things they find wrong with my reports.  Today I even got feedback about 2 reports that did not transcribe.  I have a lot of experience in transcription and was hired at the national because the in-house hospital job I had for many years was outsourced to the national and all of us who worked for the hospital were laid off and given the option to work for the national...  Should I just quit this part-time job? I must admit that I am feeling rather down on myself lately because I am normally a perfectionist and it really upsets me when I get all this feedback about how crummy my reports are.  This part-time job pays 10.5 cents per line so I really would hate to let it go.

Marla in So. California pays 11 cpl for a 55 ccl, Oracle pays 9-1/2 cpl, MDI-MD 11 cpl, JLG 10 cpl for gross line, etc.

Of course, these are rates negotiated and paid to qualified MTs.

I, on the other hand, had my children in my mid to late 30's.  I'm 45 and have a 12 and 5 year old.  At 50, I'll have a teenager and another one who will be right behind him.  There is definitely something to be said for having your kids when you are younger, not to say I am not enjoying mine - I'll be pretty old when they are on their own. 

but I only ask for 12 cents and I don't feel I am asking too much for the area I am in.  I would even negotiate to 11, but no lower.  It is a pretty good deal for them, but maybe they'd rather use India!  If I wanted to hire someone, I could not go lower than 11.  I think this area has had a lot of soliciting because it pays a little higher.  Houses around here are $700,000 and who the he** can afford to work for less than 11 cents per line.

So make an extra $1000 for me!

Can't comment on working for DR as employee, but it is the same management/QA.  I work on only one account, if you work for DR directly I think you may work on more than one.  

Pay is average, but I am making lots of lines and $$ due to a platform I like (Word superimposed on their platform) and fair incentive.  My benefits through the hospital are excellent and very affordable (main reason for taking this position) with generous time off, etc. 

They do pay downtime, which is a plus if there is no work.  There are a lot of negative posts lately about them, but I have no particular complaints.         

I share your joy; my guilty secret pleasure is blogging where I can write to my heart's content.  Unfortunately, it does not pay the bills!
