So what are you going to do when they keep lowering
the pay even more? Keep working for the "good" company? I would never work for $.075 per line. That's what I made when I first started out. Let them go offshore if that's all they can afford. They get what they pay for. Personally, I'm worth more than that. I'm not so desperate for a job that I'll sell my soul to the devil and put my kids on welfare.
Tell me, what other industry lowers wages in exchange for doing the more difficult work after the easy stuff has been offshored or sent to VR? Doctors are paying less for transcription, but they're raising the price of an office visit, too. We're charged more and paid less by THEM at the same time.
Lowering IC Line Rates
As we all know, line rates for ICs continue to fall due to offshoring and other issues involved. I can no longer quote a decent line rate or I hear the phone slam in my ear.
Therefore, I've decided to do what I have to do to compete and get accounts, which is lower my line rate to 10.5. Naturally, I am not going to give this large cardiology group a 65-character line for that rate.
What do you feel is fair for me and the group line character-wise for 10.5 cents line? I was thinking of a 50-character line. Your opinions, please.
Thank you! 
My point exactly. If lowering costs is an issue
the Valium in addition to lowering the Oxycontin as I stated
in my prior email. The Oxy is what you want to wean slowly 1/2 tab a day until the last few days do it 2 days in a row, then 1 day in a row, then every other day, then every 3rd day, then off. That is a little clearer and it does work and you won't have any side effects at all with the 2.5 mg or 5 mg of Valium once or twice a day. Then get yourself off the Valium the same way but you would not have been on it too long to just go off, but always best to wean.
Hey! For all you who blame MQ for lowering the bar in the industry, driving the cpl rate SOOOOOO low
How do you fathom that one?? The small MTSOs are charging peanuts, while MQ is charging 20 cpl. And these companies are SMALL - I know. So, hmmmmmm...maybe big bad MQ isn't to blame for that condition in the industry? Interesting, very interesting...sounds more like the small MTSOs have plummeted our salaries into the dirt, if this is supposed to be an example!
Lets try this again. With all the big nationals running us out or work and lowering our wages what
do you suggest.
No, that is disgusting!
Nasty!
That is truly disgusting. nm

Yes, it is disgusting. SM
I go to several MT jobs boards and they are all alike. I have been in this business for a long time and can do most specialties including hospital reports to include operative reports. I see the ads where they want "client ready" transcription and have to chuckle when they offer 7 to 9 cpl. I have gotten to the point where I will not even apply for those positions. Do I have hospital experience? You bet I do. So why are overseas transcriptionists taking my money when the MTs in the States can do the job better and just as fast. I stopped applying to those companies with their insulting line rates. Then they try to screw you over some more by not paying for spaces. If US MTs refuse to work for these companies and they are not allowed to send the work overseas, who is going to suffer? A lot of hospitals and states are now making it known that the work is not to be sent overseas and it is in their contracts. Are things looking up? I truly hope so, but I doubt it.

You are disgusting yourself to post
about another human being!! You ought to be ashamed.
and sin is sin. it's abominable, disgusting, and
you'll never be saved and do that.
I never thought he was hot. He's disgusting. sm
And his personal antics with many women (other than his wives, that is other women when he is still married) make him someone I would never admire in any way. As someone said below, GROSS. Ugh! Like a spindly leg strutting spider with 20 pounds of collagen in their lips. Yes, I know they are real. But Ugh still stands!
disgusting husband
Is she a friend of yours or just an acquaintance? Perhaps you could talk to her. She can't possibly be happy. Maybe all she needs is some support to get out on her own and away from him.
I would report that. It is disgusting.

Wow - how disgusting is right. Sure shows you
It's right up there on the Sickening Scale with that video someone posted a while back of "trainers" teaching companies how to bypass American workers' job applications, so they can then justify their outsourcing by saying there "aren't enough American workers".
There sure aren't - not when you kick all their applications under the rug or into the round file!
We need to lobby for laws in this country that will put a heavy tax on companies who outsource American livelihoods to other countries. We might as well put "For Sale" signs on our beaches, farmland, and national parks, because that's what'll be coming next.
kind of sick and disgusting...
Disgusting commercial, huh?! Hahaha
I use Brawny paper towels and Lysol Kitchen spray on counters and appliances. I use plastic scrubbies on the sink and anything I need to scrub up before the dishwasher and the put the scrubbie in the dishwasher as well. I spray Lysol on the sink and faucets before I go to bed.
I started this when I saw Oprah's show on women who horde and won't clean/throw away anything. The experts she had on the show had checked one woman's kitchen sink for bacteria and compared it to her commode and the commode was cleaner! I about fell over. I have dishcloths and dishtowels but they are washed after every single use! Ewwwwww!
Yes, he was out of breath - could hardly get words out - it was disgusting

the game sounds pretty disgusting...
They type like they talk - and fly under the radar - disgusting!
No one at the top cares as long as they get their third party payment.
Disgusting is an understatement but nobody can/will stop it. Nobody cares but us is right.
How can they have "English typing skills" but not need to know how to speak English? How can they understand it if they can't speak it? Mind boggling. And how do they get away with it? Because it's cheap and JACHO doesn't care nor does the organization formerly known as AAMT (new title without "American" and "Transcriptionist").
Motel housekeeper when I was 16. That was a physically demanding and disgusting
job. The supervisor was always riding us to clean faster, but we made less money if we got the job done in fewer hours. Why on earth would we work faster to clean a room in 20 minutes or less just so they could pay us less?
Anyway, it was a nasty job. The things people do in motel rooms were often immoral and illegal. I had teenaged boys on a soccer team throwing condoms at me. People used to rent rooms to party, get drunk, do drugs, and other things. They left behind pornography and other things an innocent 16 y.o. had never even seen before.
Then this adult male "guest" was wandering down the hallway in just a pair of shorts. We were supposed to help the "guests" so I asked if he had misplaced his room key. He pulled his shorts off and came after me. I grabbed a bottle of acid to spray him in the eyes and called security, but the cops never found him. He had overturned the bed in his room and set up a pup tent in there. What a weirdo. I quit that same week because the housekeeper supervisor was a shrew. She's still there 20 years later. Never had any motivation to do anything else, I guess. That job taught me how to clean thoroughly and quickly, but also taught me that I would never be anyone's grunt.
I had a really disgusting burp from a doctor. Didn't even say excuse me.
Have you ever had someone dictating with a piece of hard candy, clicking around on his teeth in the back of his mouth?
I find it totally disgusting that benefits are tied in to production.
