I had been posting as anon. This is my new handle.

Hey! Stop posting like this or they're going to think I'm you!
You're likely to get more response by posting your
resume on the various job sites, here and elsewhere.
Little mt, we're always posting the same, looool -nm
I'm not posting contracts. You're insane!
I don't care if they don't believe me. I'm the one getting paid. What do I care if they don't believe me? I can understand the problem with others getting hired in at higher rates, but truly that is their situation, not mine.
You're real sharp but not I'm not dull enough to bite that! LMAO
Hey loser!
I DO remember firing you. What freeway are you sleeping under now? How's unemployment working out?
I hope they keep posting. They're showing everyone their true colors. :) nm

CindyMT: I would suggest you watch what you're posting. Unless you have proof
that you are being ripped off, which you don't, you are slandering the company. Do you really want to be doing that?
get a life, loser
The company is certainly better off without you so the owner's instinct of your worthlessness has been validated by your own rhetoric.
Seriously, what's the point of posting if you're gonna leave out the most vital info? nm

Why would anyone be so adamant about holding on to such a crud-ball, crap-paying, loser of a job lik
If this is what it takes to get us off our butts and get a respectable job that pays more than a 16-year-old makes babysitting, so be it. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise.
I for one am outta here. Good luck!
Goodbye to DRC
Is it only me or is everyone SAD about this. I feel like someone died. Obviously cannot stay with DRC because it's a trust thing and just do not trust them (Acusis) to tell the truth. They have to keep current MTs happy for at least three months until the dust settles, then the ax will swing. Anyway, I reiterate it -- Goodbye DRC, a really wonderful place to work. It will be sorely missed!
Goodbye Columbus...
Yes, I'm afraid Columbus is closing in December - and its not a rumor but fact...sniffle,sniffle...
Goodbye Witches
Wouldn't that be nice!
Bon Voyage, Goodbye to MQ!
Eight working days and counting down.....
Apology and goodbye
My apologies to all for adding wrong. You are correct. Have you looked for work lately? Who is offering 13 cpl? You must be around for awhile. I have been offered 7 cpl doing surgeries and I have 2 years' experience.
You know what, I am off this board. I have been kicked around enough by these companies. I don't need more of it. Plenty of people are getting out of this business because they can't cut it. You rubbing it in, doesn't help any of this. We are supposed to support each other not inflate our egos. Hats off to you who are making $50 an hour. I don't believe it but fine. You can reply all you want to me. I won't answer. Say good riddance too. This is e-mail. We all hide behind it.
To: Apology and Goodbye
Well said. The rest of us can do the math. My friend is a PA in the Midwest. She makes $50 an hour. What a shame that she did not become an MT. In real estate we call bragging about earnings puffing. With puffing there is margin for stretching the truth. I'm not accusing anyone here, but if the hat fits, any puffer wear it. In the meantime, I hope the MTs on this board will continue to support one another and be kind enough to share information and resources, and not assume that others who are not doing so well financially somehow lack in skill and experience. Don't leave the board. People have a right to their opinions, that's is what makes this board unique. We just need to support one another more.
Goodbye to Spheris
I am leaving Spheris after 9 years. I can not take the loss of income anymore. I took the time that I needed to find a company that does not do SR and has excellent compensation. Spheris is now the Walmart of Medical Transcription as far as employee compensation goes. The only good thing left is the PTO and I am sure that will eventually be reduced or eliminated. Good Luck!
one more note, then goodbye to you.
YOU are the only one that seems to need the explanation I gave. You admittedly tried to antagonize using the term typist and yet you say I overdramatize? Me thinks you are the drama queen that needs to get over YOURself, with nothing better to do than stir the pot, and YOU are the puffed up one. FYI, no I do not try to impress anyone with my fund of knowledge. You obviously judge others by yourself -- and hopefully you are not too naive to understand what I am saying. Good day troublemaker.
Well, goodbye and good luck to you...
I'm staying with DRC. As long as my account stays with the new company, I will, too. :-)
I got broadband today, goodbye MTSO vultures
I'm going back to work directly for a hospital from home! I'm so excited. That means health insurance, dental, 10 sick days, 10 vacation days, 6 holidays and rotating weekends where I get 2 of them off a month. These are people that don't discount lower lines because you're on crappy work but appreciate that do the crappy work. The bonus is people who actually care about me and know medicine, medical transcription and how hard I'm working for them. I'm so tickled that I may even offer to work on Christmas Day (and they pay 1.5x when I do)!
I feel like a real person again!
I got the 9 cent
I very rarely come to these boards because I don't have time to listen or read all the whining but I have to put in my 2 cents here. I am one of those MTs who was upped to my higher line rate from my old company. Yes they asked me for verification of my line rate and I gave them my check stub that showed the lines I made and the line rate.
As I said, just my 2 cents. I love working for this company, everyone is very helpful and extremely professional.
What? 1/2 cent per line? Do you mean
0.05, which is 5 cents?
one-half cent
nm
...Sorry..would be at .01 cent per word..don't know if you need
s
actually it was more like 1/4 cent when I worked there..
z
That's 1/4 cent more than you get at Transcend!

Just my 2-cent thoughts of IC
I don't think that companies who give you a pool to work from should consider this an IC position on any level since the MT has no control over how many doctors need to be learned at one time. How many other independent contractor job types do you know who would have to learn that many new 'skills' to complete a job?
Obviously a pet peeve of mine..If I am working as an IC, I should be able to determine how many I would/could learn and still stand a chance of getting the work or keeping the work. It doesn't work that way though. If you aren't willing to learn 30 different dictators, in 10 different fields, well, move along little doggie.
If I was offering 4 cents, I'd keep going but 2 is enough.
The companies that pay by the word don't even pay 1 cent
no message
i just turned down 4-cent offer, too
Of course, someone else will do it. They always will. But it won't be ME.
Stick to your guns, Gals. 
Seemed really low to me, on the incentives. Maybe 1 cent per line for a lot of lines.
x
Oh good grief. A half a cent here or there does
not make you go from barely scraping by to RICH. It helps, but it's not that big of a difference. It's just incentive/bonus. Please get a grip.
7 cent a line $8.75 hr (1000 lines 8 hr=$70) TERRIBLE nm
.
My 1 cent (keeping it low so opinion doesn't get offshored).
I agree with a lot of the other people. I will say, though, that I would be A-OK just working on Word since I'm assuming getting a the DocQScribe set up for a bunch of people might be cost prohibitive, at least at first.
Also, since you are talking hospital transcription, that is going to mean 7 day a week coverage. If the need arises, I would rather see rotating weekend coverage rather than requiring everybody to work every weekend.
Also, while cross-training is great for vacations, sick days, heavy work, it would be terrific to be able to get an account and not have to chase the work across 6 different accounts in a crazy MT version of musical chairs. I guess that would mean not over-hiring.
It may be unpopular, and it's probably easy for me to say because I've been at this for so long, but since we don't really establish seniority at a company, I would love to see some sort of reward for years on the job. I think I bring more to the table than someone with 2 years, and it would be great to be rewarded for that.
I'm sure I'll think of more...it's been so long since anybody asked what could make my job great that I had given up even thinking about it!
9 months and it is not worth staying a year to get the BIG .002 cent raise.
Working for OSi will burn you out quick!
the posting is the exact same posting as you read on the
job seekers board. It is under state boards
Any body hear of a company in MA that is hiring editors for 3 cent a line? sm
I asking for someone else, the email was signed Jay
Transcription Relief Services pays an extra cent for CMT status
nm
Got offered 1.5 cent/line this past week....she said her editors tell her they make good $$....

anon
I thought their line counting was consistent. Why would someone settle for that and not ask to be moved to another account? Curious, is there something that you do get that offsets that?
anon
posts are from early 2006. people always running out of work. managers not flexible. thats why i dedided not to test.
anon
And it's really a shame because the dictation is so easy. On ER with 10 years' experience, I should be just flinging those charts out. Not so. I try really hard and average about 125 lph. For every doctor who is mentioned in an ER report, you have to look up his name to verify and then the number, go back to the entry screen and enter it. Sometimes that's 5 or 6 different doctors. I wonder if it's going to get any better or if it's better to get out now.
ANON, please see my msg above...
do you have trouble with ShortCut not expanding??? Did you fix it???? If so, how???? TIA
Well said, anon! - nm

I just went shopping today and by shopping carefully was able to really stock my pantry for a hundred dollars. I was able to do this because I had been allowed some overtime on one of my smaller jobs. Was I grateful for it? You betcha.

I used to love Miami in its heyday--back before South Beach and all that. If I move to Florida, it will be nearer to Orlando. Not sure I am going to do it, just playing with the idea. I'm sorry things are so tough in Miami--it is such a gorgeous city.
Anon
And I will just bet the principals are out on their yachts (yep, they have them) toasting each other. Too bad we are under the bus. I wish I could say what I really feel but this is a family-friendly board.
reply to anon above
Amen.
Anon, you have e-mail. nm
