Does anyone know why MB was shown the door at Interpro? nm

No, as shown above which is a company not program....nm

I am appalled at the cruelty and name calling shown here. Some people sm

seem to forget that we are supposed to be here to network and SUPPORT each other, not tear each other down and try to belittle someone.  They seem not to know even the basic courtesies.


I was offered a position with JLG, and they told me I could have my check Fed Ex'd.  I did consider it, although after 30 years of being an MT and having some bad experiences, I have decided not to go wtih it.  But I certainly do not consider myself stupid for considering it, and neither should you.  If I had taken the position, I would do what I do when I take any new job -- keep my old job until I find out if this really will work out for me.  Heck, right now I would probably keep it anyway as I need the extra cash.


Good luck in your search.  If you happen to find a great company with benefits that pays well and on time, let me know! 



 


I bet you 1 million $$ you won't find one on mine. Mine is
2 years old and it does not have a 9-pin serial port, nor does it have a game port.   I have used both ports on other computers so I know what both ports look like.  I also have a company provided computer and it does have the ports on it. 
1800 lines is easily achieved. I average 300-340 lines per hour. nm

10 lines per minute = 1500 lines for 150 minutes - average. nm

I average 1200-1400 lines per day with a national, and am only getting around 600-800 lines per day.
It's been this way since the day before Thanksgiving. I've been doing this for almost 30 years now, and more often than from Thanksgiving until the new year is the slowest time of the year. I have some months where I am swamped with up to 2000 lines per day. I stash that little extra money, and take advantage of a handful of extremely slow days this time of the year to actually cook dinner, decorate for Christmas, or do Christmas shopping. I actually anticipate this slow time every year and have grown to enjoy the breathing time. Any time I have attempted to pick up extra work with another company to supplement these slow times, the minute I get adjusted to the new accounts, etc. I have no time to finish all of my work because my full time job with national gets slammed again. Hang in there if you can, and hopefully your work will pick up significantly around New Years.
They work with you to make sure you get the lines required or the amount of lines you want...
I have never had a problem getting more work
Minimum lines for FT used to be 60,000 keystrokes a day, about 925 lines. Pay was good. Just not a
s
Yes it is possible to double your lines. I cant type 460 lines an hour but I can get those with VR
x
Regular lines, not weighted lines
was what I got paid for....
12K lines payperiod is 6K lines a week.
nm
0.8 x 1000 lines = $80.00 - 0.8 x 1500 lines = $120.

It's not 1600 lines -- it's 16,000 lines...and
I've got my contract right here and have already gotten 2 checks and YES, I am getting 9.5 cpl base rate.

I don't know what other people are getting. Don't really care. I work for MY paycheck. Gosh.
Why would they "fix" lines? The more lines you
transcribe, the more you make, the more you make, the more you make. It wouldn't profit any company to put a lid on line counts.
Got mine the very next day Fed-Ex.
nm
Same with mine.
I started working at 6:30 a.m. and we were still working on the day before! By 8:00, it was gone! That never used to happen!
Because they are getting rid of mine
a huge producer of tons of work by December if they don't sign on DQS and so far they want no part of it. That is why I am on a new account on DEP, mine is going bye bye.
On mine, many MTs with 10+ yrs exp. SHOULD be on 100% QA!

Hey. that is all mine will eat too--sm
Fancy Feast, and only the pate kind, with an occasional fliet thrown in for differentiation.

shhh- about the wrong board, or everything will be deleted in the transfer. lol.
Mine too. sm
Seems to be okay, only takes about 30 seconds to download.
Mine low too
can you work 2 accounts if you ask for one?
I got mine on E-Bay for $500
One thing you have to realize is Dragon doesn't work efficiently on most platforms. It is great in MSWord, but when you have to type in most if not all these different platforms that are Word-like programs,(these platforms actually pull from your personal Word program) it prints a character at a time, not good! (most of these platforms have all kinds of security and nonmicrosoft programs will not work inside the platform) I can still use mine but I have to open WordPad and speak to that and then copy and paste into the platform program.

There are some who will say you have to tweak it a bit to work in some of these platforms, but you still loose a lot of functionality.

I love this program as it has helped with my carpal tunnel immensely, but don't think for a moment that with this program, once you have it trained you are going to be making big bucks. Yes, you line count will go up a bit and I mean a bit. You are not going to get rich. People need to understand this is not a program where you have very little typing and the money will just roll in. You have to be realistic.
Yes, that is sad and mine
worked the first time
they pay mine
I've been working there a year. Paid internet was part of my job offer. Maybe this is a new policy or you have to ask for it?
They pay mine too.
Also, been there a little over a year.  Love my job!
I got mine
It is refundable after 3 years of employment. If you leave before 3 years you get it back when they receive the equipment back. I received my deposit upon 3 years of employment without having to ask for it. I was pleasantly surprised, figured it would take awhile and need a few emails!
Mine too BUT..
The CEO called me personally and fixed mine as soon as I notified them that this happened. The company had no idea wbout this. They were great! I even sent them proof of fees that I incurred and they reimbursed those too..I am very happy with the fix
Mine's not there either yet!
This is the first time it hasn't been there on pay day in the AM! I'm freaking out! I left a message with the office to find out why.
Got mine the first day
They never limit the number of reports you can type even while you are on full QA. I have never seen another company do that, I was always limited to 10 max in the past. I made my line count from day 1, felt sorry for the poor QA dept.
Mine does exactly that!
Sent you an email...
Not on mine
I got a new computer less than a year ago, and mine does not have it either.
here's mine
YOG-- Loved it! Not in business anymore- sold to MQ.

MQ- Good about 8 yrs ago, went downhill after that.

DISKRITER-- Hated it-- Not enough work. Demographics took longer than typing the reports.

JLG- Love it, just hate the fact that we do not have DD right now, but love the work and the people!
mine went in too
/
old job of mine still uses WP5.1-- sm
it is still out there.....I have not worked there since Feb. just got too busy with another job, need to give them a call though....kind of just disappeared on them.
Mine is low as well...
I actually am going back to school starting in January. Just signed up for classes yesterday. I love being an MT, but the lack of work is happening more and more.
MINE TOO
The company I work for is also in financial trouble.  Got a huge email last fall.  Now wondering if I should start looking for a different job.   Which company do you work for?  Mine starts with a S.    
mine is low and so are others...
x
Mine does...
 
Mine, too!!
It seems to be hanging up a lot, and one of the things that they were supposed to correct did not happen (I can't open my autocorrect options from the keyboard anymore). There are some things that did get as far as lag time, but for the most part my computer is just not acting quite right, but I'm afraid to ask them to fix it because I figure they'll end up making it worse. Plus, did it bother anyone else sending that great big PCCheck thing to them? I don't know if you scrolled down through there, but among the information on there was a list of every program on your computer. While I don't think I had anything 'incriminating' on there, I don't know if I'd necessarily want them to know that I had a program on there that kept track of my ovulation or even a program related to a second job. Gadzooks! I had intrusiveness in my life and I hate that I let someone thousands of miles away tinker with the means for my livelihood.
MIne does.

Your VR is done a lot different than mine
I am reading the above postings and amazed. You have a certain curve when starting VR that you will not make as much as later on. I have never doubled my line count from what I did straight (2000) but I have gotten to over 3000 at different times. I do not make basic wage, averaging anywhere from 16 to 25 dollars an hour. I am glad for our audits, although I sorta dread, have always seemed to do ok. Every once in awhile I am sent an email saying did not pick the right type of report for a document or maybe left off the dictator's name so I know ours are watched closely.
Mine does also.....
I can honestly say in the almost 2 years I have worked for this company (TMT) I have never run out of work.  I work part-time evenings and weekends for them.  It is a very small company, not sure exactly how many employees (ICs), but there has always been work.
All 5 of mine have been as well. You are right.
STMs apparently have no clue what an overflow account is. I'm back down to 3 now because they have lost 2 of my accounts and have been running out of work. I'm sick of them acting like this is a seasonal slowdown, which obviously is not true. They must think we are idiots.
If your VR is anything like mine
you would not have a bit of trouble with the ESLs. Mine is just as good picking those up as the other clear speaking dictators.
Geewhiz. Mine is a lot different!
I have to do min of 6000 lines/pp. I have to 1600 of it on weekends and have 98% or better QA. My incentive starts at 0.005 for 60001 lines and goes up to 0.02 for 16,000 lines. Plus the quarterly bonuses of $50 for the first 10,000 lines in the payperiods then $10 for every 10,000 lines through the rest of the quarter.

At 0.0875 cpl base, I can earn 0.1075 for 16,000 lines/pp! I like mine better!
Most definitely. I posted mine and had six
job offers from smaller MTSOs within 10 days.  I wondered why I never saw any ads from the smaller companies.  That's why.  They'd rather research their own MTs than to be inundated with hundreds of resumes from unqualified applicants.
Waiting for mine too. sm
Not to scare you, but it took 6 weeks to get my first one. I was shorted on both checks too. Were we supposed to get paid the 15th? They are always late so I do not know.
Amp not late with mine either!
worked there 6 months and have never been late - have a few other complaints, but hopefully those will be fixed in time....
