Exactly. Its the mind-set of the MT on the receiving
end for how corrections or feedback or anything is accepted. I have found the newer MTs to most often have a wonderful spirit - they appreciate any sort of feedback and thus learn and grow from it, as is the proper course of events. But there are older MTs who are stuck in their rut - they've been typing something wrong for 35 years and by gosh, that affirms to them that it was right. They don't accept anything - feedback, correction, suggestions no matter how sweet the delivery - its kill the messenger with the message. Also there are newer MTs in the industry who just don't have a professional attitude - they churn out garbage and could care less. Probably the ones who took their courses from a matchbook advertisement. They have enough - skills - to get their foot in a door of a desperate national, but not an ounce of professionalism, so again no matter how a correction is delivered, QA is the enemy. Sadly, the #s of hateful MTs versus grateful MTs is way off balance, and the companies don't say boo for fear of losing the warm bodies typing - quality does not matter - its quantity. I am so much happier transcribing.
Is everyone here receiving more work now than
I have realized after receiving my paystub
that MW pays you want they want to. Once again, this is under the new pay structure for Merit editors. I have no idea why I took the time to do a time sheet.
Christmas is about giving not receiving...
I think that's what most posters were angry about in regards to Did anyone get a bonus for Christmas?
Christmas is about giving!
I am an IC. I expect nothing. The one online MTSO I work for is my client. End of story. My other two accounts are my clients as well. They are not my employer; none of them.
For those of you who are actually employed and are not ICs, maybe you would expect something. But in my opinion Christmas is about giving and not expecting to receive.
May you and yours have a safe and happy holiday season! 
Who is receiving Third-World wages...
Really? I certainly am not. I have never made less than $20 an hour as an MT. If you are making Third-World wages, it is time for you to find a different job. There are plenty of good opportunities out there.
I have never heard of one person actually RECEIVING the bonus
to reel unsuspecting suckers in. Don't fall for it. It's never happened and it never will.
Anyone filed a complaint after not receiving a paycheck? sm
Stopped working at Breitner 3 months ago. I never received my last paycheck, and the one before that was short by $100. They owe me about $1,000 total. I am not counting the 30% trimmed off my line counts for 8 straight weeks in Extext to cover headers and footers when it really only equals 5 to 8 lines. Has anyone ever filed with the labor board on them? Just asking because I have read posts on here that they threaten & just want to see what I am in for if I do file. 
I have rec'd an offer and am receiving software install in the next day or so. SM
So far, I'm very impressed, and they are very nice. The cpl could, of course, be higher.....but then again, I always think that of every company I talk to. They do have a shift differential, and I'm going to be working in the evenings. We'll see how it goes, but I'm looking forward to it so far. I just sent in a resume out of nowhere, and it did take a couple of weeks for them to get back to me. From the point I answered back, however, it will have taken 4 days from test to install.
help receiving encrypted files through Express Scribe
Is there anyone out there who could tell me how I could listen to encrypted files in my Express Scribe which I receive through email??? I am able to receive and listen to them just fine when not encrypted, but cannot figure out how to set ES up to use a password. When I click on the voice file in my inbox, it now takes me to ES, but displays an ERROR box stating - unable to open DSS file, this means the file might not be a true DSS file or the file is corrupt
The files are coming from a dss program called Olympus if that matters. Any insight would be greaaaatly appreciated!!!
I just e-mailed you...but I'm having problems sending and receiving e-mails on here (sm)
hope you get the e-mail!
Anyone else at CardioScribes nervous about not receiving the line count yet? sm
I didn't receive it today, so even if I get it tomorrow, that means funds will not be reieased until Monday, meaning no pay day until Tuesday, and possibly Wednesday. I am a bit fed up with not having a reliable pay day I can count on. I will be leaving soon, but in the meantime, I still have bills to pay.
Sorry ... guess I just needed to vent. 
No, I was talking to you...I've been having major problems sending and receiving e-mails (sm)
on this board..I don't know why. If you want, try e-mailing me from here and I'll give you the company info. Thanks.
Yes, call waiting works. I also have call forwarding from my home line

You can call it greed, I call it feeling like
I am back in the 80s with the money I am pulling in. SS, retirement check and my paycheck, cha-ching. Not planning on taking it with me, never. Love to travel and have 4 places planned for this year. High maintenance lady here. Ta-Ta.
Call them......
Since the Warminster office is being absorbed into the Northeast Region, the only ones who can answer that question for you is the Warminster office itself. I've worked for them for years and have plenty of work - my accounts haven't gone anywhere.
Yes. I get what they call
a tiered incentive on my checks and then get quarterly bonuses to boot. I was quite impressed actually. I started at 8.75 cpl and can earn up to 2 cpl incentive plus the bonuses.
We got Labor day incentives too...$40 for the first 800 lines and $20 for every 400 lines after that.
It may all fall apart but right now I'm happy.
If you truly cannot call, perhaps
it is time to find work with another MTSO/company? That way when one is slow, you will have another as a backup? This is, of course, assuming you are an IC. If you are an employee having communications issues where you cannot even call your employer, I would start looking elsewhere.
I could call and say
I could call and say I I couldn't work that day if I was sick or if my daughter was sick, things like that, but I've never done that with the exception of a few weeks ago when my husband had open heart surgery and I ended up not working for 3 days.
I could call and say
But the point is I would never do that. I have to have a very good reason why I wouldn't work.
Why not just CALL them?
.
of course call
but I would take this as a warning: If they don't follow up *before* they actually hire you...
So should I call them? (nt)
xx
I had a guy call me to tell me he was going to
his MTs are earning money, but he would not tell me his company name. I did not answer the phone. That really made me nervous. I will not be giving my # out again.
Call and ask.
x
When I tried to call...
I got the message about the number being disconnected, so I emailed and got called back from another number.
You can call them and ask.
nm
Really not sure, but I would just call them and ask.

Why not just call them?
If I get no work on an account, the first thing I do is call to make sure there is no technical reason for the lack of work. (like maybe I was fired? (locked out?) :))
I would call in and
talk to them. There is certainly plenty of work and they don't want you to be unhappy.
I got the call too
I am concerned because this company does offshore and I looked at their website briefly and they are apparently looking to acquire more companies.
Definitely would call now!!
nm
Call them!!!
I was afraid to pester the company I tested with, too, but after waiting 8 days I called yesterday and got hired. If you want the job, pursue it!
they call you once and then
you never hear from them again!
I did call...sm
I was told the hospital was low on work today. I agree about communication being horrible.
I just got a call from them....
Yes, Synthescribe showed up on my caller ID and they are all the same people!!!! Makes me wonder what is going on.....
Why not call
And ask them yourself? Maybe you can switch to a shift they are advertising for, or you can get more work on another account. Seems to me, that your supervisor would know better than anyone on this board. I don't plan to work there, but that is what I would do if I were out of work and they were hiring...Just IMO. Otherwise, best to assume they have their reasons and if you don't want to call and ask, well I have no other advice except to say I don't see why you will get any answers here unless of course your question is rhetorical. Good luck whatever happens!
Do call them.
Carol Gilbert is such a nice person and though I have not worked for her I have had dealings with her over the years. She is terrific. I think you would be happy you did get in touch with the company. Good luck.
Call them
I left them a few months ago. I had my refund in about 10 days. If it's been 3 weeks, that's too long - something got snagged up. Call HR or your old supv and let them know the situation - they are excellent about that sort of thing.
Why don't you call them and ask them?
.
Please call them
Whoever answers the phone will either answer any questions or direct you to someone who can. They are very, very busy with new accounts coming on board but will not mind helping you at all.
Yes call them
I was an IC for a hospital for two tax years - the first year (while I was still working there) I had to go directly to the personnel office after numerous calls to my supervisor, and then tell them how much I made so they could type one up by hand! The second year (after I moved out of state), I had to call the supe twice to get it. I had the feeling that if I had never asked for a 1099 they never would have reported it to the IRS, but since I was a good do-bee and had paid in my taxes quarterly as I should, I needed that 1099 to get any of it back!
I had gotten a call from....
The Impact Center, and I haven't been with that company for months now. Isn't communication grand?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I still get E-mail too....go figure!
Can't you call them?
This is a great example why it is so important to include a telephone number on your resume!!
What exactly do you call the 30
day lag then if not a waiting period? If pay periods are 1-15th and 16th-30/31 and one starts working for you on July 18th, why would they not be paid on the paydate immediately following the 31st? Why wait an additional 30 days? Why would you not call this a waiting period?
I would call them on it
if they told me to pound sand. I would go to the Labor Board, to the IRS and to my private counsel and sue them for wrongful termination. We can be other than victims and--like most bullies--if they are called on their stuff--the will likely back down, as well they should. It takes backbone to stand up for yourself but rememeber--you deserve the kind of treatmentyou will accept. Don't enable their bad behavior. You are quite likely stronger than you think, Good luck!
Call them!!! sm
I started on one of their accounts and it did not work for me due to time, schedule, etc....they found me another account. They are very helpful, everyone I have spoken with so far.
I would call them on it
Tell them to take it out or you won't sign that contract and state your reasons why it is unacceptable to you.
I was on that call...SM
I was on that call and I listened very well. They laid off however many MTs, permanently, with no call backs. And while they did what they felt they had to and no one can fault them for that, and they also gave us fair warning, those who got laid off are now going to be faced with finding other work in a bad job market and bad economy. These are people with mortgages, kids, single incomes, and they are now adrift. It is not a good thing. If you are still at Amphion, then you are one of the lucky ones and I wish you well. I, however, did not turn out so lucky.
I would CALL them.

Call them and ask them what's up.
Ops call
How many of you Acusis employees are actually looking for jobs at this precise moment? Funny, we are doing such a good job on TAT and quality they cut our pay!
