I'm just plain good and fast at what I do.
I don't want hourly rates or salaries. I make plenty on production.
I'm outta here on this deadhorse conversation! LOL

Does your program change lower case to upper? If so, type all in lower and
it will change the ones it is supposed to.
I wouldn't lower my rates. Should I request a lower CPL from my employer
because I use a ton of normals, templates and such to increase my line count?
i made $15/hr before and didn't stay long because i made so much more on production. sm
that was with full benes too. i wouldn't do it for less than $20, but i think even with $20, i'd want benes. are you in-house?
Upper case is lower, lower case is upper. Using InstaText. Anyone know how to fix this?
Aargh. It happened all day yesterday. When I brought in text that was all caps
IMPRESSION:
and had lower case on keyboard (as always do), it reverses keyboard commands. This is driving me c-r-a-z-y.
She must. Probably gets that big lower lip from
chewing on her lip while doing ESLs.
I don't know how it made such a small diff in your invoice... made a $100 diff in mine! (sm)
If it were only adding up to three bucks, I wouldn't sweat it. $100? Yeah, that's baseball registration for my son for this year. I am not giving tabs, returns, etc. away free when it adds up to that much difference! Why should I charge less for a Return than I would for a"K"?
Right lower quadrant ...
Sharp stabbing-like pain...can go away suddenly. Tenderness. Hurts if you jump off a little stool. LOL ER doc had me do that and nearly fainted. LOL

With the lower pay per line, I'd have to be able to
get 700-800 lph under that platform to make more money and there is no way to do that. The higher uppities have even admitted it is best for the slower people, not someone fast.
I would not lower the rate. They know how
much they are paying you and have accepted it.
Don't lower your rates
Don't lower your rate! Don't feel guilty! Feel blessed. I'm envious--am on an account where it is impossible to understand them let alone make a macro but if I could I would and not feel bad at all. I have years invested in this just like the Dr's. You should be paid for your time and expertise macro or not.
Did you mean DSG and TransTech pay LOWER than 8.5??

Never lower your rate
I would never, ever lower my rates. Is the one doctor in the group that is complaining a constant whiner? He may just be a tightwad that still has the first .01 he ever earned. Think about it - we complain about the cost of gas increasing and the cost of groceries increasing, but those businesses sure aren't going to drop the price of their product due to our complaining just to keep our business. You run a business and the point of that is to earn money. If you or a family member had to see this particular doctor, would he drop his office visit rate because you complained about his bill? Never!
Not only that, these are cardiologists - one of the elite money makers in the medical profession.
Write a note stating that you understand his concerns about the cost, but state that in spite of your expenses increasing along with everything else recently, you will agree not to go up on your rate for a year instead. Tell him while there is less expensive out there, it comes back to the old saying of, "you get what you pay for."
Yup, and it'll most likely only go lower, right about
:(
Maybe it's a new, CHEAP way to lower their
Could happen..........
MT profession getting lower
I would rather not work for a company that doesn't value our experience enough to pay a decent salary. Good luck. I pass.
Line Count...lower pay
I have been doing transcription for many years now. For many of those years I was paid 9 cents/line per 70 character count with the WordPerfect 5.1 (DOS) program. I have now been switched over to Microsoft Word and there is a variation in word/line count and a drop in my pay. Can anyone explain this please?
Upper and lower lid blepharoplasty.
Was setting up a surveillance camera because I am a single woman who lives alone.
As I was programming it, I could a glimpse of myself and nearly fell off the chair! I loook old and tired (47).
Have been so busy and so stressed for the last six months, I haven't really taken care of myself. I just joined gym, quit smoking, am cleaning up my act.
But, nothing is going to take the bags away from my eyes. Am thinking of plastic surgery. If anyone has had this done, can you tell me whether it was worth the money to you?
As you know, I am far from rich but have few bills other than the general overhead (no credit cards).
thanks! I work very hard and it would be a gift to myself.
Big mistake to every go lower than what you currently make. Don't do it.
mydocsonline is a lower priced (sm)
option if you only have a few clients. Price goes up the more users you add.
No, it was United that offered lower than 8 cpl. nm

I just started lower carb again too
and I absolutely love carbs. I love thick crusty bread, chips, pretzels, etc. A few years ago hubby and I did Atkins and we both lost 20+ pounds. I had gained some of it back, and then my dad died in October and I gained about 10 more pounds since then. I stay up late and watch tv and eat. Hubby wanted to go back on low carb and I was really resistant, but went ahead and started on Monday with him. We're not doing strict Atkins induction this time. Kind of in between South Beach and Atkins. I've really watched my carbs this week, though, even though I know I've had more than 3 cups of leafy veggies each day. Anyway, I love carbs, but I am already to the point where I'm not missing them. Seriously, my son had a bunch of fries left over last night and offered them to me and I turned them down...and I love fries. The other thing I've done is I've been drinking lots of diet green tea...trying out different brands. I swear my appetite is very down, a combination of the diet and drinking the green tea maybe? Since Monday, my weight is down 8 pounds, and I'm kind of in my "bloated phase" of the month, too.
ooops lower case...sorry

Services are having to lower their prices, too..sm
I get routinely outbid for work by other services who are willing to do 24 hour TAT and fax or print the reports - all for 11 cents per line...So don't be too sure the services are making all the money either!
But you see, that's the problem. The lower wages go in the US, (sm)
the less any of us want to pay for things. But when you're on a limited budget and can't buy things any old time you want, one way to save money is to buy QUALITY. Then it LASTS. I may buy a couple cheap T-shirts at Ross that were made in Bangladesh, but I know they're expendable. I'll end up shrinking them the first time I wash them, and then use them as dust rags. But if I'm buying a coat, or a dress, or a CAR, then I go for quality. Even if it means waiting longer to get it, because then it will last, ultimately saving money in the long run. If I have to pay more for things (like gas, groceries, rent, etc.), then I demand a higher wage. If I don't get it, I look for an employer that will pay it. Too many people in this country (and especially offshore!)"settle" for the crappy wage just to get their foot in the door. Sometimes it's just better to go look for a different door.
2.5 mg to 5 mg Valium, lower dose by 1/2 tab a day until
you are off. You should have no problems. I went through that after major illness and surgery with no problems whatever. If you do this diligently, stick to your guns, last couple of days do same doses for 2 days rather than 1, then go to every other day, then off, you should be fine with no withdrawal
MTs like you cause lower rates for us. Co's have to make
After all the time and money spent in getting you hired and equipment ordered and sent to you and then you pull that.
It costs the companies considerably. This is passed onto the rest of us as restricted line rates.
Thanks a lot. We appreciate it.
Gawd.
Not the OP, but I just use the back of my lower leg. It's easy!

"Rounding" is always calculated at .5 -- less for anything lower.
It will average itself out down the line.
I have a lower versions but I find
that when it stops expanding, somehow (I know I didn't do it) the autoreplace box got unchecked. When I check it back, it works again. Hope this helps.
8 cpl seems to be the average. I've seen much lower...sm
I'm an IC and make 8.5 for an ER account. I'd love to know which national you are working for that allows an IC to name their price up into the teens. Care to share:)??
s/l dimitin right lower quadrant pain.
The patient states that over the last month she has had some dimitin right low quadrant abdominal pain.
I do not give a lower rate for any templates--I still--sm
have to pull them up and there are usually changes that I have to do. I charge my rate x 3 for envelopes and they supply the envelope. I also charge for cc's--if the name and address are provided. If not, I do not print an envelope for them, the office does.
Your other option would be to have his office print the envelope. My ink cartridge runs about 25-30$ depending on where I get them, and can get very expensive depending on the amount you will be printing each week.
I also do not take anything off my rate. I have figured how much I have to charge in order to make a profit and do not vary from that. If he gets you to drop your rate below your profit margin, guess how long it will take for him to spread the word to his friends that you will come down on your rates??
Well....he asked me to lower my line rate for him (sm)
which I did....then he asked that I make copies of everything he cc's and copies of the letters he dictates....then asked me to subtract off the templates he uses, even though I am using my ink to print these templates and making changes where he wants....it seems that I am spending more time doing these things than I am making any money. Just don't know what to do. I am not complaining, just need some helpful advice. Thanks
I'd lower it, but I'm a softie at heart so you might want to ignore me. nm
I would not lower it. If you just got the acct, they had the negotiating time before sm
giving you the acct and they obviously knew their entire was a lot of macros. if they wanted it lower, they would have mentioned it then. enjoy it!!!
They'll probably say lower than actual amount

Icon in rt lower screen, by your clock....
Looks like a keyboard and screen, very tiny, set mouse over it and it should say safely remove hardware -- click on it, and it will tell you what peripherals need to be clicked on before removing it. If your peripheral is a USB and it has been installed before -- no, I don't turn my machine off UNLESS, I need to for it to be recognized -- I have an external hard drive that I have to do that with.
Hope this helps
Client interested but wants to lower rate. sm
He said he wants to hire me to do his work, but at 8 cpl and give a week's turnaround time. I worked as an SC at that rate, but not as IC.
Is there anything I can say or show him to convince him this rate is incorrect?
I agree...$1 per minute is at the lower range...

Restore System or lower resolution did it for me sm
I got a new monitor that wouldn't work in Word so I set it to the old, smaller resolution and it works in Word just fine now. On another computer Restore System fixes absolutely everything, saves my life over and over again!
Have you forgotten we have not gotten the new pay plan yet which will lower the base rate I am sure
and be incentive tiered according to production which is next to impossible on so many accounts anymore. This is only the beginning of the pay decrease.
I am so paranoid of being replaced with a lower wage employee.

economy doing well? did you ever consider unemployment is lower because after people lose their job
or temporary jobs. well, obviously unem. would look low. what town do you live in? we have major closings of businesses almost on a monthly basis.
we have stores closing all over the place. even 3 burger kings. gas is over $3.00, from $2.00, and is intended to stay that way.
I know of hardly anyone personally who is working full-time with any good benefits to speak of.
of course unem. would look like it is going down. 2000 people lose their jobs, 500 people find lower-paying, service jobs, and then unem. is down?
just look around, if you think the economy is so great. we are suffering in our area. we now face heating fuel prices going up may 100%, which is just went up about 50% last year, for some excuse or another.
americans are being extorted, and it is by our own rich in this country, who are what, the top 3%?
ever wonder where ALL that tons of money goes that is saved by closing shops, getting rid of full-time employees and all the benefits.
DOES THE SAVINGS GET PASSED-ON TO US, THE LITTLE GUY? No, we are actually pay MORE for everythiing. do you grocery shop? ever notice prices going up almost monthly, if not some weekly? salad dressing, 99 cents a few years ago, now over $2, and going up to $3?
how is that good for the economy again?
34 in lower NY state today, too! Need my Handeze gloves! nm
