Please read message in above Poor Pooch's post.
:+
Yes, I read your post, and I just re-read it, and I've copied and pasted for you in case
you've forgotten your own words! Your post above is 100% different "flavor" to it, now all positive and cheery! Your first post was 100% doom and gloom every which way, including "raining on your parade", and "if you want to go forward"...God, sounds like she's talking about jumping into oncoming traffic! Here is your quote:
My first boss (the one who hired me as a new grad) gave me some words of wisdom that I haven't forgotten. She said that transcribing at home with small children NEVER works under any circumstance. Either the work will suffer or the parenting will suffer.
****
How can the word "NEVER" in caps be interpreted in any positive way? You took about 8 paragraphs to cover every aspect and completely dash this poor woman's dream. I'm not blind, I'm not talking about day care at all, I'm talking about the total negativity of your original post! You know exactly what I'm talking about, cause you added some sugar to your second version! And that's much nicer than the first!
Oops. That should read the Big Ř" not the Big "R". LOL nm

OP posted ... etc. etc. as above.
THANK YOU SO MUCH .. Please read my message here
I really do appreciate your explanation and I can see exactly what you mean.
Out of absolute curiosity, I called my trainer and asked her about this "new SE pay plan".
She was quite candid, I thought, in her answer. She discussed the fact that MQ had felt they needed more SEs because it is cost-effective for the company (no benefits to pay). As they picked up more SEs, their employee base was starting to sag so they worked on a better benefits package for employees for better hiring and retention. She said while MQ realizes they need to have a higher percentage of employees (an employee can be "controlled" as far as hours and schedules, etc., according to the IRS), the SEs were leaving their spots to become employees b/c of the benefits being offered. So, they are trying to replenish and maintain a specific base of SEs. She said that MQ is still in the process of improving pay and benefits for employees and those changes will be rolling out as soon as they can be installed.
It does make sense to me.
Thank you so much for your reply. It is probably the most credible post regarding MQ I have ever read on this board.
A few ums??? did you read my message? LOL
I can handle a few ums, i have been a Transcriptionist for over 12 years, but 100 ums or uhs in 12 and a half lines of typing. Not to mention 8 minutes of dictation, just sitting there waiting and then what you get is um, uh . . ..um I was just venting!
Actually read your own message - sm
I hate MT, but I love the perks is what you say.
I know you are paid on production at 5 cpl and you said it was an editing/transcription combination. And yes, if you do not like your job you certainly are not goign to push yourself and that ellusive 250 to 300 lph will never be met and you will be getting closer to 150 to 200 lph.
If if the software program that is the problem, which you never mention in your initial post, then you need to look elsewhere and fnd that perfect fit. What company is it you work for? Maybe someone else can help with the glitch. I've had issues that were actually on my end which interferred with a specific platform and once I got it fixed, things were great, but in the meantime it sure was frustrating. In other words, it is not always the company's fault.
did yu read ur own message???sm
you don't GROW thc OIL in your backyard, and you don't GROW cocaine and heroine. How do you grow OIL?? I think you have been ingesting a little bit of something...maybe Xanax or Wellbutrin for your anxiety/depression?? legallized highs! keep'em drugged up and stupid! and fleece 'em for their cash! They will never know, much less care.
Thanks. I will read up on it! : ) No message.
:)
oops - that post was from me - SM
forgot to change my name back to the name I was using in this thread :) - forgive me. *lol*
Oops...above post was to go above.....sorry. nm

Oops - regarding my post.,
of course, you (obviously) can find info referenced in the AAMT BOS, HOWEVER, the MQ part only applies if you are an employee (thought your post was from the MQ board and am sorry for the mixup!)
oops, old post, sorry!
Did you READ the previous message
I was being sarcastic about being called a "typist". After all, isn't patient care enhanced by ACCURATE and COMPLETE medical records? I would like to think I contribute, albeit modestly, to a patient's care. Don't you ever ask to see your records and check them for accuracy? Couldn't an omission or error result in a problem down the line? It HAS happened!
I had to re-read your message. You are really a scammer, probably
.in min many subject areas......
No, re-read the message. I said less than $0.01 per WORD.
She needs to compare the amount she is paid ($5.75/1000 words is less than $0.01 per word) by computing a line (in this case the example given was 65-characters with spaces) times a line rate (example of $0.08/line). Comparing the two results will help her to decide if she is being paid enough.

Wendy, do you know what bitterness is? pls read message
it's "drinking the poison yourself, hoping the other person will die from it". You need to let go of your issues with MQ. Apparently, it is in the past, so honey, just let it go. 
oops, I made an error in above post

read my message again. no one deserves to be murdered. but you contribute to your
victimhood by your actions and you are more likely to be a victim because of your actions than others. i live in a safe neighborhood. i still lock my doors. i don't want to be a victim. i don't drink and drive. i don't hang out in neighborhoods where there is a lot of crime. don't you get it. you can't go to a foreign country at the age of 18, drink too much and hook up with people you don't know. you increase your odds of victimization.
When I opened your message to read it, I saw something that made me chuckle. SM
At the top of the page, there was an ad defining Alzheimer's disease (with an apostrophe) from alzheimersconcern.com. We're probably the only one's following this new guideline. I wonder how many people read these apostropheless terms we are now mandated to transcribe and actually do think we're nuts. Even if it is correct, and I do understand the reasoning behind leaving the apostrophe off, it still doesn't help our image any, at least in my opinion. Just a thought.
Anyone read Letter to Editor in ADVANCE see message

Did you read my post?
First of all there was tear gas canisters thrown by the guardsmen into the crowds and they were thrown back at the guardsmen. That is documented in articles, (look on line) and by first hand eye witnesses that were there.
Anyway, my post was not about what exactly went on at Kent State. I was using that as an example of how your child could go to college and find themselves in a position of danger. Serial killers, rapists, what have you. It was in response to a post about how Natalee went to Aruba and found trouble but that probably wouldnt be likely at a college. OKAY????? I never said people didnt have the right to protest or that war was good OR that the gov was responsible or not.
I am all for protesting and exercising our rights as private citizens of this free country. But somewhere along the way from my original post, someone got off on a completely different subject. this was about natalee.
Did you even READ my post?
It's been a great, lucrative career for me. I've loved it from the start and still do. I've mentored and encouraged many along the way. I'm a QA specialist, college instructor and a consultant. I'll exceed 50K this year and have a very flexible schedule. No weekends, no evenings, and take off when I want. Additionally, I've been at home with my kids all this time. I've worked my way to the top and I'm good at what I do. No gloom and doom here. The point I made (that you somehow missed) was that times have changed. It's much more difficult than it used to be and sometimes it's nearly impossible to get a break. I'll repeat myself--I work for a private college. We trained many great MTs. We were FORCED to drop our program because of job market for new graduates is so poor. It's not too difficult to place a graduate in an in-house position (I teach in a large metropolitan area), but few women enter this profession with working in-house as their goal. Tuition at a private college (students could earn a certificate or an associate's degree) is very, very expenstive. No, you don't HAVE to spend thousands and thousands, but many students do. Then when they graduate, many are faced with harsh reality. I'm not SPECULATING on this; I've seen it happen time and time again.
The daycare issue is a personal choice and has been argued into the ground. We all know it's difficult for an MT to be productive and accurate with a 2-year-old whining in our ear. Some of us make it work; others can't. Making an informed decision requires hearing stories from ALL sides.
