I loved those 3% raises every year. Oooh, a whole 'nother quarter per hour.
Posted By: oh, yeah! on 2005-08-16
In Reply to: Hospital where I worked cut raises from 12% possibility to 6% with excellent review. Which means - 3% is more likely. (nm)
Cost of living went up faster than wages. Then they'd wonder why turnover was so high as everyone left for greener pastures.

Our murder rate for the 4th quarter of 2005 is up 70%
over the same period in 2004. It had been decreasing all year until the fourth quarter when it skyrocketed. The only thing that's changed is that we now have 150,000 Katrina evacuees living in our city.
Please don't misunderstand. I am quite sure that the majority of the displaced New Orleanians are good people. There are, however, more than 1500 missing sex offenders running around Houston, gangs of thugs trying to take over and out and out warfare in some areas of the city.
Prior to Katina, New Orleans had the highest per capita murder rate in the country and I now see why. I definitely believe in helping those in need; in fact, not only did I donate money but also donated old clothing and furniture and the like. It now really pains me to say it, but I wish they would all just go home. I want my city back the way it used to be before they all came here and tried to make it theirs.
can someone help me please... how is D5 quarter-normal saline typed?
TIA
Oooh, do you know what the ingredients are, never tried it but may now. TIA

Oooh I LOVE St. B's. No room though.
Had one in the neighborhood as a kid that liked to "play baseball" with us. This was pre-leash laws. Darn thing would catch the ball every single time we hit it and we'd have to draw straws for the duty of sticking our hand in the St. B's mouth to retrieve what was left of the slimy ball. What a great dog he was though.
oooh Diddles - come to Miami! That would..
Oooh, thanks for the heads up- I can't wait to see it! nm

oooh! I have one!! Cherry-Picker Park! (nm)

Oooh, that sounds yummy! Thanks for the recipe!
:)
Oooh, I just LOVE what's for dinner posts. sm
Funny thing is, I just put chili together for tomorrow. Dumped it in the crock pot. put the crock in the fridge and will do a slow cook thing tomorrow. Yummy. Must be cold and rainy where you live too. All I could thing of was chili, baked beans or a big pot of hot soup. :)
Tonight we had baked pork chops and oven baked red potato chunks. Very, very yummy and very, very easy. Here's what you do:
Dice up potatoes (with skins on) and layer them in a 13 x 9 baking dish. Add 1/3 cup cooking oil and 1 package of Lipton (or store brand) dry onion soup mix and stir it up. Then mix the other package of onion soup mix with bread crumbs, rinse off the pork chops, and roll them in the mix and throw them in a baking dish as well. Put both in the oven at 350 degrees. Potatoes usually take 35 minutes. Pork chops depend on the thickness. WICKED GOOD! 
Oooh, cajun turkey. My favorite!
:D

raises
I'm not even sure when my company gives raises or if they do. I've been working with them a year in October. I hope I get a raise soon.
raises
I worked for a small company for 4 years and during that time (when I asked for) I got 0.25 cent per line raise! That was it. However at my present company (small service) about 1 year ago she put me on incentive pay adding 1 cent a line, and never took me off of it! I am SO blessed!
raises
I'm an IC and it's been my experience that raises are never just offered. You have to ask. Sometimes in lieu of a raise they will offer incentive programs which may or may not be worth the trouble. Good luck with this, it can be difficult getting the raise you want, but if you feel you are worth it stick to your guns. If they value you, they won't want to lose you and you will be compensated.
Raises? What raises?
Have worked 30+ years in this field and I cannot even remember my last raise, maybe never? I thought we just typed faster and that was our raise.
Raises
I have been with MQ for 3 years now although I started as an IC. It seems to me MQ personnel talked like there were raises here yearly when I hired on. During that time, I have had several changes in supervisors and even areas although it is still the same account. I have sent emails for raises. Just seems to get lost in the mail here with no response one way or another. If I say anything to a supervisor verbally here with the Q, nothing is ever done then either. They usually just tell me that they haven't had a raise in years either and we can make more by money by producing more or shift differential. The only problem is it seems the more we produce to pay the bills that are piling up, the more they think they need to cut the pay!
raises, asking for, 10 cpl, rop
How in the world do you find a company that is willing to pay 10 cpl?? No one advertises it any more. At 13+ years I'm making less every year.
Raises
I think we are going to find no wage increases the norm with the current economy. Also, companies are going to stop hiring full time and go to part time and ICs to hold costs down.
My husband was capped on wages a year ago and his job description rewritten to keep him at a lower level. We cannot get health insurance on our own so we stay put.
IC raises
How do you handle asking for increase as an IC?
Depends on the pay and account. My lowest average is $15.52 an hour (roughly 182.6 lines an hour) w
;'
MQ sure is top-heavy isn't it? Wonder if that's where are raises are
and why they have to put them on-hold for awhile?
Are you looking for the one where the seat raises up?
Our local Wal-Mart sells them for about $400.00, but they are kind of small. I know you said your mom was short, but if she is wide too the Wal-Mart one wouldn't be comfortable. If you have a local medical supply company they would probably have them, or the info where you can order them. I wouldn't get one that is fabric in case of accidents.
I'm 4'11" and I have trouble with recliners too. I have to have them where they have the lever on the side to raise and lower the foot rest.
raises with Medquist
Wow, amazing, you have gotten 7-8 raises with Medquist in the past 10 years....WOW...you should be well up to 50,000 per year by now!
Raises and starting out.
I was thinking about going ahead and testing up with my company so I can get me one of those wonderful raises... the only thing is that if I fail then they will performance manage me.... so I wanted to ask around and see how long everyone went before they got a raise.
I started out at 6 cents a line 2 years ago and really was hoping they could give me just a tad bit more. A lot of the people on my account are getting 8-10 cents, but have been working a few more years then me.
THANKS BUNCHES!
1850 lines per 8 hour shift. 15.00 hour - no real requirement

Company Bonuses/Raises
Any companies out there that still give these? (especially "Cost of Living" raises...)
Be grateful, a lot of people don't get raises-- sm
I will probably cap out where I work next year. My husband is lucky if he gets a cost of living raise, he generally will go a 2-3 years w/o a raise then get 3% if we are lucky, 1 year he only got 1%. Yeah it would be nice to get a better raise, but in today's economy be happy that you are getting one and that you have a job.
I had to ask, have always asked for the 3 raises I've gotten in
x
I've actually received two raises from MQ...
just in the past three months!
He's trying to take away my ability to give myself raises
He doesn't want to pay me for my templates, my macros. He's taking AWAY money from me. He wants to change my "line count" to key strokes, so he doesn't have to pay me for a few paragraphs when it only takes me a few Keystrokes to put the macro in. It's like he thinks I'm cheating him! Isn't that industry standard?? Also I don't have the ability to "raise my production" what I get is what I do, every day I finish all the work.
The problem I'm having is what I make with them won't cover my living expenses any longer. That's why I asked for the raise. I mean I know as an IC i don't "ask". They said no, and guess what I have to stick around until I find something else. I won't find something better I'm sure, so I have to change careers. I'm having a very hard time dealing with this. Maybe cause I'm young and I don't feel like I know what I want to do. I wanted to be able to stay at home and raise a family, and now that dream is shot.
I'm just very upset you know, just ranting a little :)
Almost 3 for me - no cost of living raises. - NM
if it is feasable, split that 6-hour shift into two 3-hour shifts. sm
i work a split shift and find that i am much better able to stay focused and get more work done that way. also, being 3 months pregnant you have gone through the very tiring time of pregnancy and you should start seeing an energy perk before long.
Just sounds like more rules, what about compensation, PTO, raises across
Actually, it was the crummy raises that made me have to leave my job.
Daycare rates doubled per kid in one year, so I couldn't afford to work any more with my oh-so-generous $.25 per hour raise. If you want to get technical, I'm making the same exact money per hour now as I was 10 years ago. So please don't tell me to be grateful for having a job because with 20 years of work experience and a college degree, I definitely should be making way more than I am. Daycare, utilities, gasoline, clothing, groceries, everything has gone up except wages around here.
What happened to their advertised yearly raises? sm
Oh, I remember who the owner is and am not surprised.
There are companies that give pay raises to CMTs.
Do MT companies not give raises anymore? sm
If they don't give raises, how do they expect us to keep up with inflation? I've been at my company 2 years in March and they have never approached me about a raise. So I asked them, and they told me they would review it. Well that was 7 weeks ago and I heard nothing back. Is this the norm now?
I start an hour or 2 early and then take an hour or 2 for dinner -nm
x
At 200 lines a day for 6 cents, you are making $1.20 a day or 0.15 hour for an 8 hour day!!!--cm
Did you mean 2,000? Even then you would only be making $1.50 if you work 8 hours a day.
$32/hour? You said $36/hour on an earlier post. Either way would be great. n/m
