Should just post all their open positions in one post and only be allowed to post one of those a day

my post did not all post in the subject, my apologies...
I think you can get the idea.
thanks.
(how does one know that the Subject line has been exhausted?
If you defer the report to someone else, you are just calling even more attention to the sensitivity of the situation. If you type it yourself, it seems to me, you are then in control of whether the info is disseminated or not. ????
Make sure you use sm (see msg) or nm (no msg) in the subject line, too. nm

OOPS - put too much in subject line - let me try again
Hold down control key on keyboard then roll mouse wheel forward which will increase the font size. Roll the mouse wheel backwards to reduce the font size. This will also work on some web pages.
Post was removed because it was not on this subject.
It was not against offshoring, it was against the other poster as well as this site.
You posted a hostile response without reason, and it was removed.
Per TOS, offshore discussions by US MTs are allowed, only postings by offshore posters are not.
Hmmm? Well, the subject line made (sm)
absolutely no sense. It's quite obvious that I am extremely frazzled right now. I would love to go to bed, but I know that I need to get a head start on tomorrow, so I'm still typing away.
could you put NM (no message) on the subject line so we know there is noithing in there???

Why do people post and say "This is off subject"
being discussed here. I thought ANY subject pretty much was fine (unless something that has another board specifically FOR that subject).
This is the last time I will post on this subject or back to you beacuse
you are most definitely a very unhappy person who needs something to fuss about...... It can never only cost 7.5% more because your social security and taxes are based on how much you make. When you add your IC income it is different for everyone, depending on what tax bracket they are in, and yes it cost me more. Even if it were 7.5% I would still say it is not worth it for ME but that is my opinion - you are free to have yours.
P.S. I do fill out my own taxes because I also refuse to pay anybody more than it is worth to do them when I can go buy Turbo Tax and fill them out myself. If you really want to see the difference, fill out your Taxes without your IC income and then put it in and see the difference!
I wish short answers were in the subject line instead of put inside. nmreally

oops! Part of my subject line did not copy. Should read:
OP posted ... etc. etc. as above.
I've been meaing to post on this subject, but have to work too many hours now just to pay the bil
I've been at this for 16+ years and when I started, there were few big nationals, just small transcription companies that cared about their MTs and paid very well. Once I got trained on an account, I usually averaged over $30 an hour, always had work, and was proud of the living I could make in this profession. Now, pay keeps going down, down, down and I am panicked by how little money I am able to make, and even more panicked when I read the jobs for MTs and see the pay being offered is insulting and dismal. I cannot believe this is the pay being offered for those of us trained in highly technical medical terminology and responsible for the accuracy of documents that affect people's lives. I urge everyone with experience in this field not to accept this kind of pay - maybe if enough of us make a stand, something will have to change for the better. As it is, I might just have to take a job at Wal-Mart.
Oops, too long subject line, meant to say on the uncased tape.
We also had one or two real winners who taped things to the tape and then wondered why we couldn't get all the dictation done when the scotch tape tore the cassette tape. Oy vey.
You don't have to open a post to see how many
have viewed it. It is right beside the date showing at the end of the subject line of each post.
I have no idea what post you are talking about though.
i cannot open ANY post -- just me??

when I open your post
Who is that guy - your husband? Cute.
Thanks for this open and informative post ...
It seems that now getting your own accounts is the only way to go (at least for the time being until the pervasive mood of the industry corrupts even in that area). My curiosity though lies in how those who are claiming that they work for services are able to do this.
Also, congratulations to you for your success in getting your own accounts, and thank you for sharing your insight in a manner that doesn't imply that you're trying to belittle those who don't have their own accounts like I've seen others do on this board.
P.S. On the matter of panhandlers, in the area of the country where I live an investigative reporter did a feature on just this subject a couple of years ago. Believe it or not, it was estimated that panhandlers in this area average approximately $120K per year. I tell you, I'm in the wrong profession ... 
lets us know whether or not we need to open the post. NM

open question to all, regarding line rate
For those with over 10 years of experience ... what was your line rate when you began? I'll start with myself.
I entered this business in December 1978 and was paid $160 per week as a salaried employee, working in a hospital. I became a home-based IC in August 1983 and was paid 6 cpl for gross lines.
I'm just curious to see how things have changed for others over the years.
2 cents you have the most well-rounded open minded post so far.
Thanks for posting.
I am open tomorrow night ......just post a time!

Open up a few things in word and get the line counts for an average. Think it might be around 40

I wouldn't bit anything less than 14/line and even that is on the low side. You are not a sub, y
are the contractor.
Hey, no problem. I didn't post a name or initials, so you probably wouldn't have known it was

This makes me very glad we pulled out of the .....
house we originally put a deposit on a few weeks ago and went with another house. The first house not only needed too much expensive exterior work, but I was more than concerned about the 2 COON HOUNDS who were kenneled in the backyard of the house next door. Those dogs make the more Gawd-awful noise when they bark. I'm sure they were hunting dogs and not pets. Every time we were over there, they were in that kennel/run. And we live in a cold climate, so my heart would be breaking in the winter watching those poor animals sitting out in -10 degree weather.
That is weird, the first time I pulled up
her post, it said something totally different (like she was asking what FTP stood for). Ah well, thanks for letting me know:)
she pulled her husband's card....N/M
Credit accts pulled
This is not just happening with transcription- it is across the board. Just heard a consumer advocate here in town speaking about that yesterday, not on our end but just general public. The thought of employers is that if you cannot be responsible in your financial life, that your job will be the same. This advocatet was against it. Transcriptionists are not being picked out as a single group, lots more people at same place.
I don’t think I pulled your chain, Missie

It wouldn't load with my Office. Somehow it wouldn't "read" my 2003 Basic, although sm
technical couldn't find anything wrong with my software. They really tried hard. I see so many people that like Escription, I'm sorry not to be able to use it. Hopefully I can get Office Pro on my next machine, and maybe use it then. I could upgrade, but I'm still not sure it would work.
Thank you for this post. I am weary of defending this line
I'm suddenly a "mom" again at the age of 45 when my daughter got tired of playing mommy and I don't know where she is now. I was one month in with a new company, who has been very supportive of what I'm doing, but it is a lot different since I didn't have 9 months to prepare for it. I'm getting into a routine of working before she gets up, when she naps and at night she does get her Barney and other videos where she is actually learning things BUT, I am losing sleep, I don't feel comfortable letting the TV babysit and I don't have a support network. I'm single, no family.
She will start in a mother's day out program 3 days a week next week and I think I can put together a reasonable schedule until August when she can go 5 days a week, 5 hours a day.
I don't feel guilty for my decision and don't feel "strangers" at daycare will be giving kisses that I should be giving. Why is it that in Europe several generations of a family raise the new ones and everyone in the villages know everyone and help out but not here in the US and then people demean those who use daycare. The support network is different and lacking in this country.
Sorry, I'm weary...going to bed if I can get princess to agree...
not all companies post clearly .. how many put their line rate in the ads?
I really hate it when I answer a blind ad and afterwards I have to tell the person that they are not offering enough compensation for me to work on their account.
If they need weekend coverage, maybe that should be handled by a weekend-only IC. And if the MTSO has to hire 3 MTs to jump in the work pool (usually with a prn hanging in the eves) on Saturday and clean it up, then the work gets done. The M-F gals are happy, and the weekend MT looking for extra work (because some accounts don't have weekend work - especially clinic accounts) on the weekend is happy, too.
I work the weekend sometimes, both days. But I typically steer completely away from account ads that have the shifts delineated Tues-Sat 1st, 2nd, or 3rd shift.
This is a labor-management issue that needs to be worked out amicably. Too many times MTSOs are bad-mouthing ICs and ICs/SEs/Es are bad-mouthing MTSOs. We aren't at odds. The MT is benefitted by hitting TATs with hopefully job security, and surely we all understand that we are all together on contract performance. This is supposed to be a symbiotic relationship and if you do get an MT who flakes, then have an extra to cover it. Management shouldn't browbeat the MTs who are dependable.
The post did not say gross line, that's why everyone was so upset about it.

Take a few on-line tests. Some companies post
a link in their ads about where to go to test. You'll get a feel then about how good your education are. You'll certainly have blanks and you'll probably get a bad dictator or an ESL, which is the norm these days, but it will still give you a sense of things. I've had nearly 20 years' experience I still have an occasional blank and I have to spend some time researching a new drug, equipment, or procedure at least a couple of times a month, so you never stop learning.
You'll find when you start out you keep your reference books piled up beside you and Google is your best friend. You'll probably look something up twice for every report and then you'll only to have look something up twice a day, etc. The thing to do is make lists when you have a new word/drug so that you have it posted somewhere where it is handy if it should come up again and you don't spend a lot of time looking it up.
You also need to have a good reference library. I know some only use google, but at least 1/4 of what is on goggle is incorrect and unreliable, and you need the proper tools for the job. A community college course, if taken in person and not on-line, can be completed in less time than a course that is all on-line/correspondance generally.
Thanks for the wish...I am getting ready to post my resume in a few what should I ask for per line?
I opened the resume link here and realized I don't have a clue as to what a new MT should ask for per line...got any suggestion?
Hope this doesn't get pulled but try this link
it started with 13,000 abbreviations.

Need MT section on this board to post line rates sm
and what company to help turn things around in this industry, meaning, the 4,5,6,7,8 9 etc per line which is grossly under paying if one takes the time to figure, how many lines, how many lines per hour, per minute, per second to make HOW MUCH PER HOUR. This is the key, how much per hour you make.
With a list of where to refer to, it helps curb this slave labor mentality.
THE MTs NEED A SECTION ON THIS BOARD to list going rates so the industry becomes more competitive and not at our expense with all this " supply 3 phones, supply long distance TO THEM. BUY THIS AND PROVIDE THIS TO THEIR COMPANY. Buy this license, this software.

Yep, I hear ya! They pulled the bait and switch on me before I even got started!
Unreal - Recruiter promised one thing - got the instant contract through email with the exact opposite! Bailed before I started! Sorry for your bait and switch.
I just pulled mine back out of storage - LOVE THEM!! nm

Pulled Pork Roast Sandwiches with Cabbage/Slaw
I would just take that baby and rub her down with some oil, vegetable, corn, olive, etc. and rub her down with some good seasons, like a little chili powder, garlic, salt, pepper and wrap her up good and tight in some aluminum foil. Git some good hickory wood chips and once the grill starts to cool off from the hottest point, then put that baby out there and let her slow cook for about 6 hours or so. Keep it wrapped up tight so the juices do not escape and if they do, get some worchestershire, oil etc. and baste her up. When a fork separates with the meat to just strands, she is ready for some bread and some slaw/cabbage with a lil vinegar added to the slaw and a lil bbq or A1 steak sauce with a lil mustard added together is better to me and there you go, a good ole southern pulled pork roast samwich!
Yes she did play the single mother card. Reread the last line of her post... (sm)
the one that says, "She has really messed things up for this single mother."
Now substitute the phrase "single mother" for "black person", so the sentence would read: "She has really messed things up for this black person."
Now tell me you wouldn't believe somebody was playing the race card if they wrote that? It's the same with the "single mother" crap. The difference is that a person can't choose what race they belong to, but a single mother DOES have a choice. They can choose to:
A) Keep their legs closed.
B) Use multiple forms of birth control simultaneously to avoid getting pregnant.
C) Get sterilized.
D) Be more selective about who they sleep with.
or
E) All of the above.
So, it's not a matter of interpretation; she was playing the "single mother card" the same way some people get accused of playing the "race card". A pity party is a pity party, no matter who it's coming from.
