I hope it's not the same company
that I am having with!! Please let me know. I can email you if you like!!
I hope I can be that good and exp. one day that a company trusts me enough to say hey you don't n

Since you are an MTSO, all I can say is I hope I never have the misfortune to apply to your company.

I hope this applies to companies like Medquist. I hope there
isn't a way they can get around it. I REALLY hope.
What Company is This? I have been hired by a company that is sending a foot pedal.. Don't want t
.
The company cutting cpl, the company stopping paying for headers
:{
Good of the company? As IC, I am my own company. Not my problem if she has problems as long as I do
:P
Accepted a job with a new company, gave two weeks notice to my old company..
Old company, let me go before two weeks was up. New company, said they were having trouble getting me set up and my equipment ready, but they would pay me while I waited. It's been a month, still no check from new company even though I was told it was "in the mail." I have no income and am at a loss.
I have a signed offer letter from the new company, contracts, etc. I applied for unemployment, but old company is saying I quit and technically I am currently employed with the new company! New company is not returning calls or answering email.
What should I do!?!?!?!
I started sending my resume out today, but the process of getting a new job will take at least two weeks and I need money now to catch up on what I'm behind!
You don't want to work for this company. Call your current company and
tell them that you have decided against the new position and tell them that you would like to stay. It is cheaper for them to let you stay than to train someone new. A company who could be so tacky as the one you just spoke of is one you do not want to work for. You can rescind your resignation. If you are a good MT, they will be glad you did.
With my company, ICs use their own emails, employees have company email.

COMPANY INQUIRIES belong on Company board, please!

....3 months later my old company rehired me; can you return to your 1st company?

Local radiology company, not transcription company
who has only 5 transcriptionists and are not hiring at this moment. We all work at home and get great benefits, no insurance out of pocket and 22 days paid vacation in the first year, after that it goes up. I feel very fortunate to have found them, but again I chose them because they did not do production, so now that they are, I'm a little disappointed.
I think it varies greatly from company to company...sm
I was hired five months ago by a national straight out of school at 8 cpl. I think it just depends on your knowledge level and ability, and of course, what the company is willing to pay.
i think it varies from company to company and/or location
VR company? Not when the MT company owns its own VR equipment. n/m.
xx
I hope so
I really want to do IC where I am a stay at home mom with a very active 2 yr old and hate to commit to hours until he is older. One other girl did not do IC because of this
Wow, a ray of hope
that's very encouraging to hear! Even though you didn't take the job, at least they seemed to be concerned as to why! Good job!!!
I hope this is okay
A friend of mine is in second place right now in the Staples invention contest. Please vote for Julie Savage and her Glue Swabs. Right now she is neck and neck with a musician, who has the online musician community bucking for him to win.
Hopefully MTs have more pull than musicians.
Oh, and you can vote once a day from each email addy you have.
I do hope it gets better for you.
I am struggling tremendously myself and working many, many hours to get my quota. But like yourself, I have got to have the insurance. It is so frustrating, but I will do what I have to do - and that has been a lot of praying here lately!
I hope so,
Oh boy, I hope I have this right...sm
He was told to follow up.
He presents for followup.
I hope you
are not still doing any work for her. If you and she live in the same area, I would pay a friendly visit. It's very easy for people to ignore emails. If you speak with her face to face, even if she is unable to pay you during your first visit. She will find a way to get your money if she knows that you will come by again. I would continue to drop by occasionally and just say, I was doing a pick up in your area and thought I'd stop by to check the status of a few outstanding invoices. It couldn't hurt.
Yes, that's my only hope
Maybe enough people will quit that there will be work. I'm going to wait for the packet and read things over, then decide what I'm going to do. 
Still hope
I've never worked for a National - they turned me down years ago which was a blessing. Sent out letters to 75 local docs and now work for 3 at .15/line. Have you tried doctors in your community? Have to buy my own medical but still well worth it!
That gives me hope...
MQ is "rewarding" me for my dedication and expertise by routing the longest reports and foulest dictators to me simply because "You're the only one who can do them - you should feel complimented." I'm paid by the report so no matter how much I am paid - I'm screwed. Your post gives me hope that there are companies out there that don't operate like this. Thanks!
I hope you mean I just DID it. nm
Some hope
I don't exactly agree. I think the best MTs, those that save MDs the most time, have the best chance of continuing to work in this field. I found a job in RADIOLOGY, for goodness sakes, and because the MDs are confident that reports I produce make sense (and these particular MDs actually care) so that they can concentrate on their other work, I believe they will keep me around. I think the MTs with large vocabularies (especially for the dying language of ENGLISH), will be able to find work for years to come. Make sure you continue to educate yourselves and don't daydream while transcribing just because you've done this for 20 years and know all the terms. When you are not valued in one job, look for a place where they DO care about quality. It helps to be where the MDs can talk to YOU instead of a medically uneducated supervisor. Just my experience.
I hope you don't....
shop at Wal-mart or other organizations/companies such as that! You can't talk out of both sides of your mouth!
I hope someone else says it....
wow
hope this will help....sm

Well, 3 is what we have...hope that is
it! She seems to be doing ok with them so far...she is so young we were worried about her, but so far so good! We live in the country, cats get dumped here all the time..so unfortunate because not all cats can survive as some people think. We live on a very heavily traveled road, there are coyotes, and other hazards for them to avoid! We will keep her and her babies, actually have someone who wants one of the kittens. Mom will get spayed ASAP, babies when ready. We also have 7 other cats, all male, who were stranded out here also, they are getting neutered next week. We have a barn cat/feral cat program in our county so it is a reasonable price for spaying and neutering, plus I am hoping to get a quantity discount!
I hope so.
My other two pregnancies were totally different. I had energy throughout the entire nine months. However, this is the first pregnancy that I am actually working from home so I believe that is the difference.
I have one of those, and she is an ESL. I am sorry, hope your day goes better!

I hope you are okay...
Let us know what happens.
I sure hope so.
thanks for the support! I'm just not too keen on OPs even though it can be part of the job. I just find the majority of them boring! Hopefully I'll slide past them.
Now I hope I don't cause
a commotion with this post, but I have to ask. I have 9 years of MT experience, what should I be making per line? Sometimes I feel like I'm being shorted. Any input is appreciated.
I hope, but ...
I'm glad if your hubby's cellulitis is getting better, but "pocket of infection" sounds like abscess to me??
I hope so cuz...sm
I don't know why it would matter which cable my internet comes through as long as I have DSL, which I do.
Thanks!
Yup. Thanks. Hope you get some
help also.
Must be nice to have a job where you can decide somebody is a nut case so you won't have to figure out a diagnosis, right?
Some expert already e-mailed me with a site that has treatments people have tried for this in case that's what mine turns out to be. Apparently there is a long incubation period between the appearance of the sores and the worms popping out of the skin. Lovely, right?
I cannot imagine being the first people to get this disease and having nobody who had ever heard of it. I would have assumed I was nuts and would have had myself committed.
I hope you can help me out on this
My husband ordered a Dell and there were 3 packages that came, the first was a very small 1 that had some wires in it plus ?? The next 2 were bigger boxes. The smaller package was opened and I have misplaced. I called Dell last night and they did not know what was in the first. He bought off 1 of the shopping channels. Do you know by any chance if you got a little box first and was it absolutely essential for running the Dell? I am in BIG trouble I think if I don’t find. Thanks!
I hope you don't use your
personal PC for this - you could get a nasty virus. At least with the company PC, they can fix it or replace it! 
Thanks everyone. Hope I get the job! nm

I just hope...
that since the Indian MTs are reading this board and seeing what the US MTs are charging, that they may up their rates - especially once they realize that while we can just pop up a civil suit for payment (pain and if judgment proof, you're also out legal fees), but they don't even have that recourse. I wouldn't even so much mind the offshoring IF we were on a level playing field. Anyway, just hope that they are beginning to realize that the more they undercut us in cpl, the more likely they are to get more of the "sharks", too, but that they have basically NO legal recourse, which is only further encouragement for the predators to deal overseas, leaving us with more work from the reputable MTSOs. When they started this "price war", I don't think they foresaw the pitfalls, and while I hate seeing anybody (US or Indian) stiffed, it will hopefully awaken them to the fact that undercutting prices does nothing but hurt everybody in the field in the longterm, and I really don't believe that the new Pres is going to be able to make large strides in this area, regardless of who is elected, as I don't see it passing congress, though I could be pleasantly surprised.
Is there hope for me?
I have been an MT a little over a year. I have multiple acute care accounts ... some easier than others, but usually get a lot more of the ones that slow me down. I have many dictators and still haven't typed for all of them to date.
With all the various things that I see as a problem from night to night (tired, foggy brained, fumble fingers, etc.) From what I can tell, it mainly comes down to the report content and which dictators I happen to get that determines how many lines I can type.
I have trouble with some dictating in a goofy rhythm, changing their minds continuously, saying things in the wong place (and having to figure out where I should put it), being just plain difficult to understand, etc. (Also getting a bunch content I am not familiar with and having to look a lot up.) I know time and experience is a big factor, but I have been told by an authority figure in the company that many people are faster at this point into their career.
I just don't know how to get past all that and have a consistent line count, and I am losing all motivation when day after day my line count is pathetic.
I use lots of expansions and tweak them when I see a better way. I am at a loss here and would love any helpful, ecouraging advice.  Thanks!
I hope...
I would definitly hope that you are wrong considering the tons of us who are currently in school to get into this profession. I have found that for every person here that is unhappy with the world of MT, and looking to get out, I meet 3 more who love their jobs and aren't concerned with the future. I don't doubt that things will change drastically in the next 5 years, I just don't see there never being a need for MTs. I hope that you find yourself much happier in your new venture. Decorating cakes is fun!!
no hope
So I threw my MT certificate in the garbage today. I don't ever want to look at that thing again.
You are both very welcome, hope I can really help, been there!,,,,nm
nm
I just hope she is an ESL! nm
.....
I hope you take something for that
high blood pressure, it is really a killer. I would never have a snake in my house just because someone told me it took care of others. My husband goes out of his way to hunt them around here and does away with them.
Lord, I hope she's not an MT sm
 talk about giving us a bad name! sheesh!
