I'd say they're borderline delusional!

Don't be delusional -
any armed service at this point is NOT interested in providing a college education, training, etc. That is how they get kids to enlist, telling them they pay for college...blah, blah, blah. Your son will end up overseas trying to place democracy in a country that has never been insterested in it since the beginning of time. I think the Bush twins should have enlisted. What's up with that if joining the arm services is such a "good thing."
Only in your delusional mind.
d
delusional, excuse me?
I happen to know several young men that have joined the Armed Services and they have gotten a wonderful education, and yes here lately...I want my son to get an education, but to also feel a sense of pride in serving his country. After all, a law enforcement officer is a public servant, is it not? It's attitudes like yours that make our men and women overseas seem like they're not appreciated or valued. Our country and president are wonderful...sorry you feel otherwise. I believe you're the one who is delusional, sweety!
being delusional seems to hold
        
have a nice day and I will be sure to do an additional dance just for you when impeachment begins.......within the next year or two.
You are delusional. Just wait.
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
it is somewhat delusional..he has to want to go in, they pay into the free education the first sm
year they are in..He has to serve his country either while working on getting his education or holding off on his education until he is out. In the Corps, they have classes they need to take to advance their ranks after LCpl. Unless it is his idea to go in, this will never work. He definitely needs to be physically fit. As for the police department..unless he has military background, he needs a 4 year degree then transfer to the academy. Good luck to both of you..its hard when they are trying to find their way. Our town has a jr college that has a co-op with the college most police officers get their degree from..2 years there, transfer to the other college for the last 2 and then automatic admission to the academy.
its the employer's fault.....you are wrong or delusional
This is not her fault. I have worked in the same type of hostile environment......its like you are in high school again with clicks. If you mind your own business......they say your unfriendly,......if you try to get along...somehow your words always get twisted and you are the bad guy..... been there done that.......I am sick to death of "the transcription business world" and am just counting down until I can finish school........
How they are lying to get them
They are claiming that the reason they want these normals is to benefit our fellow MTs, where that is not the case at all. They are too lazy to make up normals, so they want ours to ship overseas for those people to use. Can you believes the level these people are going.
Since when is lying against the law?

lying on the web
I talked to a recruiter once who told me she could do 700 lines an hour (no, that's not a typo) of straight typing (expanders only, no templates). That's right, girls. 700 lph.
Talk about feeling small! 700 lines an hour???? My best is 400 & I'm not doing that now because I'm not doing ops so it's much more straight typing, very little "template-able" text.
I posted about it at the time & everyone seemed to agree this was not do-able. So I don't know. Anyway, when I heard that I was ready to throw in the towel.
Sorry...but you are lying
Bringing home 1840 BEFRE taxes and being able to pay mortage or rent on your "nice 2300 sq foot home w/land" utilities, insurance, and food is not possible. So either you are not having to pay for a mortgage or rent or you have supplemental income. There is no where in this country one can live on their own for 11.50 hour
Why lying?
Why would you suspect the above poster is lying? I have 2 transcription jobs; Employee $.095 line with benefits and IC $.10 per line. These jobs are out there. Yes, I have seen the $.06 per line jobs too and I always send the MTSO an email stating they should be ashamed of themselves. I have yet to get a reply.
WHAT race card did she pull? Ever? And are you just being delusional and showing who and how YOU r

ONE other person? Now you're just LYING!!!!
Lie, lay, lying, laying
Can anyone recommend a website or reference for these words to clear them up once and for all in my head? TIA
He's lying. How would the "seasoned" MTs
What a jerk!! At least make sure you let him know you think so!!
PS - It does matter if they are lying to you sm
It matters very much if they are "using" you and cherry picking to others. Trust a thief before you trust a liar. Either it is your account exclusively or they have to own up that they are getting cheap, not frugal, CHEAP! Not to mention sneaky liars that they are. At the time it goes to court, they will say they gave it to you and you "lost" it or you made that horrible mistake that made the patient sicker or killed them. I don't share my toys, that way they don't get dirty unless it's my own dirt.
Its the MQ way. I have my way of letting them know I know they are lying. I hate being BS around.
:
No one accused you of lying. This is not the first time
in the past few weeks where you have gotten comments to search the archieves of the company boards. While I sympathize with you, it surely isn't our fault that you don't have work. Post your resume on the job boards, answer all the ads on the job boards that you think you can handle the shift, the equipment, etc.
With just about every company there are pros and cons, some people love it, some hate it, some just couldn't cut it and bad mouth the company and there seem to be no other posts to support claims. This is the reason you need to read previous posts, to get the info and decide for yourself. Only one person may post about the company you are asking for and it may be favorable, but that is only view point and may not be enough information or the type of information you were looking for.
YOUR lying, cheating snake....
lied us into a war with over 3500 American SOLDIERS dead, and going on a trillion dollar cost. No wonder bridges are falling down - the U.S. has been neglecting infrastructure needs in favor of militarism for MANY decades.
That said, give the "sex lie" diatribe a rest: Nobody died when bush's predecessor lied...
Iraq had NOTHING to do with 9/11. Even Bush admits that now.
They used the fear and outrage from 9/11 to lie about WMD in Iraq - and to then JUSTIFY invading Iraq in order to steal it's resources. Deal with it.
BOTH PARTIES are corrupt - but its the evil in office now whose lying should concern *all* patriots the most - because OUR country is in crisis - regardless of party we all should step up and demand our policies change.
As to you flip comment about knowing what's going to happen with the weather? Give that a rest, too. there is all KIND of documentation showing THIS admnistration prefers to fund FAKE wars instead of take care of the people at home. He was warned about 9/11, failing levees in New Orleans BEFORE Katrina, AND crumbling infrastructure like the BRIDGE in MN.
In fact, he CUT FUNDING FOR THE LEVEES in New Orleans THREE YEARS RUNNING before Katrina.
Please do your homework before you defend *any* administration. Don't rely on PAID radio or TV personalities to tell you what YOU need to know in order to protect YOUR country from bad administrations. They have an agenda and trust me PROPERLY informing you is not part of that agenda.
And yes, I know this thread is turning into a topic for the other board...
A lying scumb bag boss having a mid life crisis
I used to work for an insurance agency and for the most part liked it and liked who I thought my employer was - it should be noted that this is a man I had known for 30 years and used to baby sit his kids when they were little. Kids also worked in the agency. Anyhoo, the business had been struggling - amazing how that works if you don't actually sell any insurance. One day at the end of August 2007 he sat us all down and said he was merging/selling out to another agency. He was assured of a place as a producer, but the rest of us would have to interview with the new agency and we may or may not have a job. In his exact words "I'm throwing you all under the bus, and I"m sorry for that, but it's time to take care of Larry." Well, all righty then. Over the next weeks it was made very clear to me that I was NOT going to be offered a job at the new agency.
I went back to my desk right after the meeting and immediately started trying to figure out what to do. I knew how to transcribe, having done that for years for an insurance adjuster. I'm a wicked fast typist, too. I really wanted to work from home and I REALLY wanted to never be in a position where I was at the mercy of a 57 year old man having a mid life crisis again. I found an online MT course that day, and for the next month instead of working I studied the course at work and within a month after that got a job.
It's amazing how things work out, though. If dirtbag Larry hadn't done what he had done, I would not have had the flexibility to take care of my mom as she was dying. So, really, it was a blessing. I actually told Mom at one point that I should send him a note: Dear Larry. Thanks for being a pr!ck. Love, Robin.
Mom didn't think that was as funny as I did.
I am NOT lying! It's the truth. I've received solicits from at least 8 people overseas.
For Pete's sake, you're not terminating a pregnancy, you're just typing a report after the
It's already been done before you even hear about it, and NOTHING changes regardless of whether you or someone else types it. Sheesh.
It's not funny when you're on a board where language is one skill you're selling.

Hope you're gonna have a glass of wine while you're relaxing
in your spa goodies. Congrats!
Well, you're all complaining that accounts are current and work is low, so, gee, maybe they're
focusing on WORK, as in CLIENT and transcribing, as maybe half of you should be focusing on!!
If you're experienced, try for 9cpl or higher, and you're lucky to get that! nm

Skip it. No one cares. Either you're good on the test or you're not.

You're probably right. Plus we're losing our percentage of good people by .... (sm)
allowing every loser from every 3rd world country on the planet to just stroll on into our country, some legally, most illegally, and take advantage of the social services all us hard working little gerbils pay for by having money taken out of our pay every month. But I don't think we're all lazy. Just the ones on permanent welfare driving around town in brand-new Cadillac Escalades. Saw one just today on the Bayshore Fwy. Brand-new black Escalade with expensive spinner wheels, with 5 or 6 Mexicans in it. Well, who knows - maybe they stole it and it was on its way to a chop-shop. Smart-and-hungry people aren't always hard-working and honest.

You're forgetting all the stuff you can't buy when you're UNEMPLOYED!
Unemployed people have a hard time buying anything, including cheaply made offshore products. How many will have to end up depending on public assistance? That means more tax dollars being eaten up - besides the taxes NOT being collected from the overseas workers. In the long run, are you really enjoying a lower price?
If you're on the job, ask for samples to do it how they want it. If you're testing, separate o

You're not losing it, you're burned out on your main job.
I feel for you... I am having my own "version" ;-) of these kinds of struggles. Lots of recent changes at the admin level have made my job do a 180, going from a really great one to a really crappy one.
For me, it's a struggle to get through the day with a shred of motivation. I get distracted in the way you discuss as well.
I just try to make my environment as comfortable as possible and make the best of it while I decide what the best way is to deal with the burnout... I figure if I can't change my inner brain workings so that I still like this job, I need to find another one, or this feeling will possibly get worse!
I hope it works out for you. Wish I had some better advice for you, but this really does look like burnout and extreme job dissatisfaction to me. We all wear it differently. Try to be good to yourself while you figure out a solution.
Don't know what you're complaint you're making with this post. sm
You stated in your original post that you don't want to work weekends or odd shifts. What is your definition of an odd shift? Second shift? Third shift? Sounds like you want to work M-F on days. Sounds kind of rigid to me. 
Personally I like second shift, so everyone working days means more work for me!

If they're withholding taxes, you're not an IC.
As an IC, you should already be paying taxes. That said, the only benefit having them withhold FICA is that your Social Security/Medicare share will be less. Social Security is 15%; if you're an employee, you pay 7.5% and your employer pays 7.5%. As an IC, you pay 15%. Doing the math, 0.0925 would be your 0.10 minus 7.5%--the 0.0924 is just a tad less than you're making now.
We're out here (good MTs) but we're busy! sm
I don't recall ever taking an employment test where I wasn't offered a job. My MTSO does not even look at my work unless I happen to have a question or a blank, which happens maybe once in every 30 or so reports with an ESL. If you find a really good MT, how much training would be involved? Certainly you would save time in the long run once they're trained and you don't have to check all their work.
If you're one of the MTDesk clan then you're ok

You're right if you're single it's tough.
I am an IC as well, but I have a husband with benefits and makes a fair buck. I am fortunate after 20 years to able to work from home. I worked on site for 17 years with a "chocolate cake" the day I left. Nothing more... The loyalty in any profession is gone, gone, and gone again.
Most companies want new employees/ICs that will take low pay and that won't cost much in the way of paying vacation time.
I do take every Friday off and try only to get on to check e-mail, etc.
However, I wouldn't trade being here for my kids at this point.
There are headaches no matter what profession you are in. It seems if it isn't one thing it's another.
Raises? Out of the question in this profession since most are afraid they will lose the account including myself. I also underbid my last account because I wanted the account so bad. I should be charging more.
It is a neverending cycle really.
But, I still enjoy the work, so I guess that's the difference. It does take will power to sit and type. Some people need that boss hanging around to keep the production up and the incentive of a nice paycheck is just not good enough.
Good luck with your new job! Sounds great!
If you're new, good - if you're not a newbie, not so hot
Would need to know how long you have been an MT. For a newbie, this is a pretty good rate of speed.
However, if you have anything over a couple years of experience, then this is not too hot.
Also, what are the dictators like? Is it a "United Nations" account??
If you ARE capable of 200 lph or more and you can't seem to get it, then the problem has got to be with the platform you are using. In my experience, the platform into which you transcribe can make or break your paycheck - so if the platform stinks, then I hate to tell you, but there is no way you will be able to improve your line rate. I have quit jobs because of awful platforms more than once.

No, you're not missing anything, but you're really not seeing
anything either. InterFix designs and sets up software specifically to facilitate an easy conversion to overseas transcription.
You're both right and you're both wrong.
There are too many variables to give an accurate--or even estimated--count. Using a standard 1-inch margin, you may have short lines and lots of paragraphs and get a lower count. If no paragraphs and it's a full page of text from margin to margin, you get your higher count. You can't possibly use an average count because of variables, which is why no one can commit to a pat answer.
