LOL-I could never be management! I would turn everything upside down,get rid of this and that and him and her and spread the work around evenly, which is what should be done. There is a lot of lopsided fairness there.

Apology accepted :-)

You can always ask, no harm in that.
My mother always used to say that if you don't ask, then you don't know. What's the worst they can say? No? If they do, then you are no worse off than you are now and will know their stand on raises.
No harm in trying...sm
You know the cliche:  The worst they can do is say no.  Or how about:  Nothing ventured, nothing gained.  I'm just full of them, aren't I?    Good luck. 
I would call them - no harm in that

no harm -- I wouldn't worry too much about it
the mod will take care of it.  just try to remember -- anonymity is the key.
I wouldn't see any harm in dropping her a line.

apology
I thought you were referring to the poster and then realized you meant the lady radguy talked to. Guess I've seen so much nastiness on here, I've automatically come to expect it. Sorry, my bad.
APOLOGY

I am so sorry!  I would like to apologize to TAIB.  I have applied to so many at-home transcription services, that I stated the wrong service.  TAIB was very nice, and as a matter of fact offered me position beginning in August if I still want it. 


 The service that never bothered to call me back, and led me on, was Oak Transcription out of Santa Monica, CA.  Again, I apologize to TAIB!


Apology
I want to publicly apologize to Dani and Scott Lynch for putting a message on this board.  Inscribe is a very good company to work for.  There was a very big misunderstanding when I worked for them and I got angry and posted negative things on this board.  This is not my character and I am so sorry that I did.  If you get a chance to work for them, go for it.  It is a good place to work.  I am sorry Dani and Scott.  Please forgive me. 
Apology
Sorry for the caps. Didn't realize it was a no-no.
Apology

I would like to clarify that I said in my previous posts that MT Stars had nothing whatsoever to do with the curious emails I received.  I will reiterate....I DO NOT THINK FOR ONE MINUTE THAT MT STARS HAS ANY SORT OF COLLUSION WITH ANY MTSOs NOR DO I THINK THEY GIVE OUT OR SELL ANY EMAIL ADDRESSES.  Apparently the moderators think I am making some of you suspicious of MT Stars and that is the fartherest thing from my intent and I apologize for any misunderstanding.


I'm gone.


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.
HUGE APOLOGY DUE HERE
I APOLOGIZE sincerely about my comments regarding Transolutions out of Illinois. All these companies sound so much alike anymore these days that I confused Transolutions with another company (I would say which one, but I believe I've said quite enough)! I'm MORTIFIED to have said what I did above.

To my knowledge, Transolutions DOES NOT offshore. They're really good people, too. The company to which I was referring above is a different company altogether located out of Atlanta, GA.

I don't often post, but I'm zipping my lips for a while. Sorry to have caused this confusion.

Please accept my apology Ms. Webster; you re-read

That insincere, backhanded apology even made me cringe.

I just accepted a job with them
they have been very nice so far, I will keep you posted. I think the pay is dependent upon your experience. Eligible for benefits after 90 days.
I just accepted a job there.
My only scare is the strict schedule and sticking to assigned hours. I have been very lucky with this in the past. Does anyone who has worked for Spheris know how long it takes to move into a better schedule, days?
And you accepted it ...
This sounds like made up accusation. No MT ever lets an MTSO get away by shorting them. Sorry do not buy it.
I just accepted a job with them (sm)
Recruiter is very helpful in answering any/all questions.  The company is sounding like a good fit for me.  I can't wait to begin.  Good luck!
I just accepted a job with them (sm)
They are supplying the foot pedal, I am responsible for the computer equipment. I previously worked on eScription, which is the platform for the account I'll be working on. It is very easy to use and I made more money doing a combination of speech recognition editing and standard transcription than doing straight transcription at my previous job, even with a lower cents-per-line rate than DeVenture is paying. And I'm a good productive transcriptionist, so in my opinion eScription is great! Good luck.
I accepted a job offer from
Transcend and the incentive plan looks excellent.
Just accepted a position with TH...
and then I read the post below. Are all MTs with TH having trouble getting work? Just wondering...
Explain that you accepted the job
on their initial offer, since they went back on that you decided to stay with your old job. If they really want you, maybe they will go ahead with the what they promised you in the first place.
I just recently accepted...
A position with them.  Did you interview with them, and ask these questions?  It is supposed to be a good company to work for.  Their QA is supposed to be good; I heard their strict, but you will learn things quick.  There line count is a daily 1200.  As far as the hours worked, they expect you to work your full shift; this is very important to them; they strive on dependability and quality.  You can E-mail if you wish.
I have accepted an offered with them as QA also. nm

I just accepted an offer with them and

They really do sound too good to be true.  I had been away from this board for about 9 months and just happened upon the posts regarding them last week.  The one that really caught my eye was (a few pages down) the MT who posted that they are a bright spot in a dim MT universe.  After reading that, I sent in my resume.....and have just accepted a position with them.


If I had not been offered employment with them, I would have asked how long they keep resumes on file for consideration and when that time period is up, if I had not heard from them, I would then re-submit my resume.


I will post again in the future with an objective assessment the company and their treatment of MTs.  My motto is always - If it sounds too good to be true (you know the rest!!).


Also, FYI, I have over 30 years experience, specialize in acute care with OPs being my favorite, and also have extensive ESL experience with a variety of dialects.


Thank you. I accepted the position. nm
 
just accepted a job with Transcend
...and I can't wait to start! I'm glad to hear you like it so far.
Same here. I've accepted.
I'm anxious to get started.
Ok...same here. I've accepted as well...
I can't find anything at all, but I haven't gotten any negative feelings towards her at all.  I also got an offer from TTD, but I HAVE heard lots of negative things about them and was wondering which one I should turn down.  I think I'm going to go with TMI as well.  I'm anxious to get started.  I hope it all turns out well!
I accepted yesterday
I applied on their website Monday and received an email, then a phone call from the recruiter.  We spoke for almost an hour, all my questions were answered and they sound like a good company.  I had to complete a sheet about my computer and the recruiter said he wanted to discuss accounts with the team leader.  I sent my form back in and he called as scheduled yesterday morning.  The ER account sounds like I will have plenty of work and I accepted.  I then got an offer letter by email and hiring paperwork that I am working on today, I start Monday and just can't wait.  They use Chartnet and from what I have researched that is a productive platform.  I have never had such a professional or prompt response from a company and look forward to having steady work.     Lee.
just received and accepted a sm
offer from Landmark Transcription.  So far, they sounded most like the company that would fit me.  i want to be an IC and only want part-time so it works for me.  Thanks for all the tips everyone puts out there on companies.  There is more positive about Landmark than negative.  I am anxious to get starte again.
I just accepted a position with WMX to get away sm
from the Q.  I wasn't told about this submission rate thing.  Am I jumping from one fire to the next.  Does anyone know if Transtech has any policy like this.  Maybe I should give them a try.
Accepted an offer too...sm

for part-time, but I am not quitting my current job yet.  I am going to test the waters first. 


If you accepted the position -
Why are you coming here to hear negative things about it?   Why not be happy with your position and not anticipate something horrible happening.   Sure, some people will tell you it is great (not likely on this board), but feel confident in your decision and don't worry about it.   Just because someone couldn't handle a position and couldn't make any money, doesn't mean you won't!   Also, get ready to hear about how they outsource.   Tired of that dead horse!   Who cares!   Congrats on your new job - now go do a great job!  
I just accepted an offer from MedWare and I am

Since she/he has accepted this position and is happy about it - sm
you should keep your opinion to yourself.
offered and accepted 9 cpl a few days ago...
with 5 years experience. Agree that cpl is based upon which account you're on.
My resume was just accepted and test sent
and info said $12 to $15 depending on test results - and apparently I bombed on the test... I'm a little stunned to be honest... I'm not cocky but I double checked my answers - wondering if it was timed?  If so I definitely timed out. 
I recently accepted a position
with Zylomed.  This was the second time that I had been contacted by them - the first time I left several messages both through email and by voice mail but never received a response back.  This time I left one message and received a phone call.  They were actually pretty quick about sending my new hire packet, reference material and so forth (through email).  It has been quite troublesome though trying to get a time set up with training.  We did try once but it was determined that my foot pedal wasn't compatible with their platform so I am now waiting on that to arrive in order to set up another time for training.  It's very hard for the ONE person they have that does all the training/hiring of new employees since he is also responsible for setting up all the MTs with the new platform they are switching too.  I just hope it gets better (I'm being optimistic that it will).  I understand how hard it can be out in the real world work force and try to keep that in mind.  Just my two cents worth. 
They have called me but I had just accepted another position, but
the caller ID on the phone shows up as Synthescribe and NOT AAmT.
Exactly - that's why I accepted the other position I had been offered.

Accepted an IC Position- Looking for Some Info/Help

Hello! I hope I've got this on the right board (if not, please e-mail and advise me of where it would be better posted). I've just accepted a position as an Independent Contractor, and I would like some input on what this really entails as far as deducting taxes and social security. How do you determine what amount to take out, when/how do you pay those taxes? If I was eligible for a tax refund as an employee, will I be eligible for a tax refund as an IC? Any help would be greatly appreciated!


Price fixing does not need to be accepted and should not
I see, 5, 6, 7, 8 and should not be accepted. Get your calculater out. Figure out what that would be per hour. Com'on this is a highly highly skilled profession, not just anybody can do it, takes year YEARS and you never know it all, never.
I passed the test and accepted a position
and have been quite happy with Medware.  My old service paid by way of snail mail, so now having direct deposit has been a big plus for me.  I like my team leader and using EXText has kept my line counts high.  I also have their insurance plan, it's United Healthcare and my family doc is on that plan.  Overall, I hope to stay with Medware as they really seem to care about me.  I also like the monthly newsletter they send out, it's the little things that set them apart from my old service.  Good luck to you.
Thanks so much for the wonderful advise. I accepted the position.

I just recently quit Amphion and accepted sm

offer from Axoltol.  Amphion has been requesting OT for weeks and weeks from everyone.  As of yesterday, my 2 accounts were out of work.  They need to request the OT only on a couple of accounts, but since they are having everyone work OT, several accounts are low.  The way they manage their accounts is just odd, IMHO.  I have been trying to get an answer for days about sending back the puter and still no answer.


I did accept offer from Axoltol.  I would think that having so many new accts coming in is a good thing!  They seem very well organized.  I emailed about when my computer would be here as I am going out of town and didn't want to miss the shipment.  I got a phone call within 30 minutes.  She checked on the date and even offered to give a tracking # if I wanted.  I thought that was very nice!


I start Monday.  I can post next week to give you any info on how things are going if you wish.


I accepted a position with a company last week. sm

How long does it take usually for a company to get you into training and typing after just being hired?  A week from your acceptance? Two weeks?   I'm waiting for equipment to arrive now. 


TIA.
