It's grow up, not grow-up. Whose grammar/spelling
are you trying to correct?
never heard of the Mountain Region....
maybe the Denver region? If that's it, I have no experience with them.
Anyone work for Axolotl in Mountain View? (see mssg)

If so, what are the pros and cons?  What is starting pay?  Good accounts?  Flexibility?  How long in business?  Large or small company?  etc.....



And you really should grow up!

Why do you stay at Amphion if you hate it so much and have such dislike of the people?  Seriously.  Make room for those that had to leave and didn't want to.  You are sitting where they want to be and then complaining about it and trashing them all while calling yourself a quiet mt.  makes no sense to me.  these economic times are hard for everyone, and you cannot keep blaming Amphion for needing to reduce staff, too.
Oh, grow up!!!
It's everybody elses' fault, right, that you are making what you made 20 years ago?  Face the fact that clients will not pay big bucks for MT services anymore.  Those days are over!!!
Grow up?

Oh so just because clients aren't paying what they used to that means I have to give even more of my money to a subcontractor who is providing a service to me by hiring for other companies.  Quit drinking the Kool-Aid already and catch a clue.  You obviously work for TTD and love being taken advantage of - good grief!  Start your own forum called MTs without a clue and I am sure you and your Kool-Aid friends will have a great time.

Oh grow up.
Saint Gourdpainter. Give it a rest.

Guess what. Most of us already HAVE gone through what the MDI folks are going through now. We just didn't take a week and a billion posts to commiserate about it.

Seriously, it's not like Huricane Katrina or 9/11 or something.

It's BUSINESS. **** happenes.

Deal!

And I second the motion to move the MDI/Transcend soap operate OFF the company board.

ENOUGH ALREADY!
Oh Grow UP!
Smoking cigars and drinking brandy?  What did you think you signed up for anyway?  Getting paid lots and lots of money to sit at home?  You get what you put into this.  If you want to get paid hourly, go work in-house.  If you want to get paid by production and have the freedom to work at home, don't expect to make big bucks, expect to make about what you would make working at a retail store.  Sadly, this is just a normal to low paying job now.  Take it or leave it, but give us all a break with the drama.    
THINK AND GROW RICH
One size does not fit all. Be true to yourself and your abilities.
You are kidding yourself. OSi is not growing. You cannot grow without
OSi wants to be big, but that will never happen because they will not listen to anyone about giving the MTs more instead of putting all the profits into their own pockets. All you get at OSi is your base line rate...that is it. Nothing extra for nights, weekends, holidays. They make you pay for the foot pedal and even the cheap spell checker.

You pretty much said it all when you said that OSi is choosy about who they invite to their parties!! How awful! When most companies have company parties, all employees are invited. That is pretty sad and pretty much says it all about OSi.
why don't you grow up and get a life you troll

Quit whining and grow up
So, you were fired from Spheris. Probably because you couldn't cut it. You get 90 days to make your production, and if after 90 days, you aren't producing, they will cut you loose. Why should they keep people like you, who are obviously bitter, and carrying a huge chip on your shoulder, when there are other so-called newbies, with good work ethics who want to work hard, and are willing to put in the time required to get the production required. 3 months is a long time to get used to an account, and build your production. There must have been more to your firing than what you state in your post.

Hopefully you will find employment elsewhere. But, I would urge you to change your attitude, lose the chip on your shoulder and grow up. Don't blame everything and everyone around you. Take a look at your production, skills, etc. and then ask yourself again, why Spheris let you go.
My guess - they'll grow until their #1 (sm)
and with growth comes growing pains.  Yes indeed, check your facts.

I think sooner or later MTs will be forced to grow
backbones, because as the pay for MT work edges ever closer to 0 cpl, there comes a point where the MT will leave altogether or turn around and start swinging both fists. For quite a long time now, I've believed that the truth is, MTSO's don't really WANT the more costly American MTs. The sooner they can drive us all out, the sooner they'll have the excuse they've been waiting for in order to be able to just pack up and take it all overseas. Companies who actually want to RETAIN good employees just don't treat them the way MTs are treated.
I have been with KS for a few years now and love it. They grow continuously without sm
losing accounts, so that is why they are always recruiting. The last information I saw was that they doubled in size between last year and this year and will do so again by this time next year.
Then they need to stand their ground, grow a spine,
.
Wow, grow up. You're a kid yourself with that immature response...nm

Ok - here ya go. I went from making $1800 per pay period to making just under $900.
Is that significant enough for you? Believe us, we are not just being negative with a grudge or anything like that. This is real! A month later, I was gone from there fast!
if someone puts up with crap for 5 years... they deserve the crap!! good grief... grow a set and get

they are making a lot of changes....
This is the first I heard of it also and I found out by logging on and all the sudden have all new work types. When I inquired as to why this happened and was told it was part of the "MQ compliance team" (whatever!). Later on that morning, I received an email stating that the first change made was to rank the MTs by classification: Level 1 - ER/clinic notes, Level 2 - ER, Clinic, Progress notes, H&Ps, DS, Consults, Cardiac notes, PT notes (everything except radiologys and OPs), Level 3 -everything including radiology and OPs.
how much are you making, cpl

what are you making, cpl. ect.

It is b/c OSi is making changes
Positive changes...and that scares the daylights out of everyone else.  Yes, they have made a few mistakes, but who hasn't?  I am with you here.  I never had a single problem with OSi until I came to this board and then I found out just how sucky my job really is.  So, why wasn't my job bad before?  It is a pitty that I had to come here to find out that OSi employs only the worst.  I make a lot of money and I don't leave my home.  I have a wonderful AC too and I love the people that I have actually gotten to talk to on a day-to-day basis.  What more could I ask for?
I'm currently making more than that, but have been
looking around, testing the waters.  I ace the tests, they call 2 and 3 times offering me different things, but never enough money.   I have even been offered 7 cpl as an IC.  My point was that experience doesn't necessarily count for anything these days as no one wants to pay you for it. 
Where are you making $120 a day, can I ask?
That's pretty good.
I will be making 9.5 cpl
They offered me 9.5 cpl right off when I was hired last week for an ER account.
making fun?
saying - Having a laugh - is not making fun - it is a comment - not like are they kidding, could not get a coffee for that etc. They do not belong here.
but I am sure if you are concerned the moderator can give you the information so you can apply.
I was making ...
17.00 a hour.
She's making more
than I am right now at my company and I have 15 years of experience and she has about 8 or 9. From what I have heard, it's at the top of the pay scale for most companies out there and you get paid half of your typing rate for editing which is a lot more than I make editing. All I can say is 15 years in this business, they pay very well and that is why I'm applying for a job with them.
Are you saying you re making 0.075 MORE than before, or
they are giving you that which is more than you made before? 0.075 more a line is hard to believe.
I was making 16/hr when i was QA

The ones who are making $125,000
aren't the ones I have a beef with, it's the ones with millions in income and they pay less taxes than someone making $40,000 to $50,000.  $125,000 doesn't give anyone enough money to take advantage of the tax hedges and loop holes that go only to the wealthy, especially if they are mortgaged to the hilt.
Please....you'd be making those
wages no matter what. Find a profession that will pay you more and quit blaming those of us who do our job every day without complaint. You all seem to have excuses why you aren't making money. Find another job where you can sit there and work in your bathrobe, chat on the phone whenever, peruse the internet, throw some laundry in when you want, not have to pay for work clothes or gas, not have to deal with lousy weather or traffic and can be home with your children. And yet you still want to make the big bucks and get all the perks. Why not find something else that will pay you what you think you deserve? Yeah, my DH has a good job and pays the bills....sorry if that offends you. I do this job because I love it, not to become rich from it. Be thankful that you have a job during these lean economic times. Don't blame me because you have no ambition, drive, incentive or guts to do something else with your life.
Are you making more than 5 cpl? (nm)
nm
You were only making up to 2 cpl??
My VR pay is 4 cents a line and 8 cents for straight. I do not use Dictaphone there, there are other systems besides just that. I have no drama, monitoring software? Know nothing about that. I love it personally.
She said that making up 2 cpl could be
time consuming.  She didn't say she was making up to 2 cpl.  lol
I'm not that bad yet but I was making
more than my daughter-in-law who is a nurses' aide and works at the county hospital, but now she's making more than I am, and her health insurance is only $100 a month for a family plus she gets a raise every year.
Then they are not making much of
I make 10 cpl, and if my company is charging 16 or even 18 cpl I don't see how they could stay in business. The bonus structure benefits them because the more productive MTs are, the fewer people they have overhead for, but still...
Are you making more/less/same now as
you were 7 years ago at MQ? My pay has decreased due to the changes.
I think they are GREAT! Making better $$ now than ever!
nm
Have you been making less than $16/hr for 11 years?
I hope not.  If so, poor you after 11 years!  If not, you better get ready for the pay cut.
HOW MUCH DID YOU MAKE AND HOW MUCH ARE YOU MAKING NOW?
I am thinking about making the switch!
It's my job. Dah! someone making a type? Did you mean
typo? Maybe you should proof your work. You are an embarrASSment to the community!

Oh, and when I said proof, I didn't mean 100 proof!
They're making themselves look bad.
I clicked on jen has a big nose and there's an ad there for OSI.
