In Reply to: MTSOs who DO NOT offer direct deposit - This is sooooo inconvenient.
They only direct deposit certain people, no rhyme or reason for it. She has her check overnighted every pay day, which costs her $50.00 a month. It was supposed to have been delivered 12/23, but it got hung up in one of the terminals. She won't get it until tomorrow, 12/27, not in time for Christmas. It's just really bad business. I would never work for a company that did not offer DD.

A friend of mine works there and....
She really loves it! She has been there since August. Her pay has been really great. I am hoping I will get a chance there as well.
Good Luck to you 
An MT friend does. She's an employee, works 6-10 and 2-6. nm

Friend works out of Monrovia - after a couple of times (sm)
of not meeting her quota they called and "chewed her out". Nothing was said about taking benefits away.
I have friend who works as editor, gets hourly rate and does
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Agree with Lab Rescue. A friend of mine sm
is involved with them and fostered labs before she got another dog of her own. They will provide the dog with medical care and a loving home while they try to find a good home for the dog.
Thank you for being so diligent caring for this dog. You sound like a terrific person. Labs are such wanderers. Hopefully someone will claim the doggie soon. Good luck!!
My friend who works for them is having her mail go to her own account. She hates this new mail prog

I agree with the poster below. My friend died of lung cancer
last year, and the doctors had him drinking Ensure.
Sorry to hear about your friend. I know how tough that can be.
i mean works for me and i agree.
xox
Completely agree...you have to do what works for your family.
I wish you the best of luck, and keep us updated! :)
Agree w/the Tessier's, but I don't think plans are in the works for an updated one. :( nm

Agree with Shemah. Older Works didn't have it. Newer ones
are coming bundled with Word 2002, not Word 2003. Find out which version you need if you decide to buy a bundled package.
How about your husband tells the friend to tell his female friend to lose the #?

Totally agree. Her kids are brats and spoiled with dirty money. I know she works

Futurenet
they are WONDERFUL...treat you with respect and dignity.
futurenet
what is there web site???
FutureNet
Does anybody know anything about FutureNet? Good or bad.
Futurenet.
Good = pay well and on time.
Bad = only have DD if you live in certain areas. Otherwise you get it in the mail or pay $20 to get it overnighted.
Bad = more ESLs than you can shake a stick at.
Good = excellent program.
Bad = some really rude QA.
Bad = no bennies whatsoever unless you live in CA.
There's some good and bad, but so are most places.
FutureNet
Is FutureNet hiring now?
futurenet
Do you know what happened to futurenet. I worked for them and we always had tons of work and now it seems like there is never any work. Did they overhire or just lose accounts.
Futurenet
I used to work for them before getting my own account. I worked for them for a year and a half. E-mail me with any direction questions.
futurenet
I have accepted an IC position at futurenet. First, are they picking up on work?
Next, what about the Wavpedal? They said Dictran USB WavPedal. The price on that is around 219.00; is that an average price. I was shocked. This is the first time I have done IC in a long time.
Thanks!
Futurenet answers...sm
Good - Pay is on time and correct. Schedule is very,very flexible. Pay per line is better than most. Great format and program.
Bad - Work for the past several months is very, very hard to get. They have overhired EXTREMELY on most accounts and pay day has been about 1/6 of what it once was. No benefits whatsoever. Direct deposit ONLY if you sign up as SE (but then that cuts out all you can claim on your taxes as IC), many, many ESLs which some are very, very bad. QA is rude. If you don't do the DD, you have to pay $25.00 for UPS to overnight or just wait until regular mail delivers it and depending on where you are that may be several extra days.
These are just my experiences.
Sounds like futurenet

Yes, IT V Pro will work with Futurenet.
Please see the link below for more information.
When I worked for FutureNet
They charged me $25 a paycheck to get it overnighted.
A friend of a friend is taking CareerStep - sm
she is under the misguided idea that she will be making very good $ upon completing the course (a friend of hers supposedly makes $55K a year). I told her no way, at least not starting out and not unless all the factors click together, i.e. good typing speed, good pay (not for a newbie), good dictators (unlikely) and dedication to working hard. I told her what I make after 5 years (16K) but that is PT and I have the potential to double that if I would push myself, not procrastinate so much (I web surf way too much) and work more than I already do. I am not a fast typist but am good at what I do. I will be surprised if she follows though. She told me she'd call me when she finished the course, I just hope she is ready for reality.
IT should work with FutureNet ichart, right? nm

Mary Patterson is with Futurenet in Monrovia, CA.

Superior Global Solutions and Futurenet...sm
I heard Superior Global Solutions does not get your pay to you. Futurenet, I have read here does not have any benefits and runs out of work. Also here are a few other bad ones I have seen and read on here: SoftScript, Spheris, and good/bad about Transcend.
The good ones in which I have read have been all of the MDIs. Have not had any experience with them though..Good luck!
When I worked for FutureNet 2 years ago they used but they loaded it themselves. nm
//
FutureNet --- treating me like the highly skilled professional I am.
you can apply on their web site. they sought me out... grape vine told them i was hating MQ --
only downside... no benefits, gotta be SE... it's what MQ was going to do to me anyway, so no big loss..
Full Word is in the Works "Suite," not plain Works.
Works saves files in a different format, but you can open them in Word if you have the correct filter installed.
RIGHT!!! Someone who works 16 hours and someone who works 60 will have a HUGE difference. NM

Emdat works with Instant Text Por V - ony version that works with Emdat - nm

Shorthand works with every program, it works outside the program you use, does not interfere.

Agree, agree, agree! Just listen to Benny Hinn..
he speaks perfect English, especially when asking for money! Also, in my opinion, blanks should be left in the doc's dictation if not able to be transcribed, maybe then they will know that are NOT understood. With QA fixing them, what need is there for them to care if we understand them or not?
Looking for friend
Hundreds of people are coming into Alabama and Florida away from NO and Mississippi. Go to www.nola.com (Times-Picayune newspaper in New Orleans) and look for message boards. Local papers and other shelters are posting names. Still waiting to hear about family members from Gautier, Long Beach, and Gulfport, MS. Hope you hear from her soon!
To "a friend"
I wanted to personally thank you for your opinion and also for putting yourself out there for me. The serious physical abuse for me happened mostly while I was pregnant (both times)with his children. He had not touched me in three years until two weeks ago. I am aware that I am in a volatile situation and I am doing something about it. I just needed to reach out today for some comfort and support. I feel I got both. I'm sorry I opened the door for people on here to hurt you. That was not my intention. Thank you and big hugs for paying attention to me. J.
Same here. Have a friend who is
a biller who is the same way. We all work at home and have very little people contact. It makes you a little agoraphobic. I have to run all my errands at once, or I will not do them. All the MTs I know are the same way. Can we get disability for this?LOL
Tell your friend
She can go online and change the settings on her bandwidth from the Vonage site. We had some problems and found out it was our cable modem. The strength of the service depends on your internet provider as well.
Is this a friend of yours? nm

not a friend...sm
actually, it's a patient that I did a note on...the doc went into great detail about her home life, her husband, her finances...but it still burns me up  ! I'd love, love to talk to her...but guess my prayers will have to do...
think twice about a friend
Rather than worrying about training a newbie, I would think twice about a friend. I have had friends as IC's whichI have helped to train as well as just newbies. It is hard to keep that line between friendship and working relationship especially if you are the one giving her the work, checking the work and training her. Have almost lost two friends over this because they felt because they were friends I would understand their problems, family problems, time off needed, not getting work back, etc. They saw me work and bring in the big bucks and wanted to share in it but did not understand how it worked. You don't produce work, you don't get paid. I have trained a lot of people and helped out a lot but never again will it be a friend that is actually doing work for me. If they are working for someone else, I will help them out but just not for me. So I worry more about it being a friend than a newbie. Patti
Have a friend who is MT and she has
bought this, paid quite a bit for it. She had used escription before and now she does straight. She has arthritis in her hands and trying to alleviate some of the pain she has with straight but said wasted her money, tried and tried to educate the machine and still not worth the money she spent.
My friend went not once, but twice. sm
My friend went and she loved it. I lost touch with her the last time she went back. They did live in a compound and you had to adhere to the religious, traditional ways over there. When you left the compound you had to wear a burka. She said they furnished you your own really nice apartment. I thought about going back then, but with the political climate, I am too afraid. After all, they are our "allie" (wink), and over 10 of the 911 bombers were from Sauda Arabia our "allie" (wink).
My friend said she
could never do this as she's not disciplined enough. She's honest as it does take discipline.
You get out of it what you put in. Pretty simple!
i have a friend
Who is working for Inscribe, and is very happy there. She says that the people are nice, and there is always enough work. They hire part time, as long as you can commit to 20 hours a week.
very well put my friend.
