I got mine last week (sm)
Do you live in Ohio by any chance?  I do and got an e-mail last week saying that there was an error on some of the W2s of MTs who lived in Ohio.  Something about the city tax not being taken out as it should have been?  Anyway, they told me mine was okay but they still had some other MTs who lived in Ohio who would have to wait until the error was corrected and their W2s would be mailed a little late. 
In CA and got mine about a week ago (NM)
.
$700 a week?!!! You trying to start something here???nm
,
I'm due to start next week and this has

all been a bit unsettling for me too.  I'm pretty dependable so I'm not terribly worried about a schedule, but I'm worried about line count.  I need to do 1200+ lines a day, and I don't think that is an unreasonable number, but I'm starting to worry about how much time I'm going to be given to reach it. 


I have to tell you I'm wavering a bit, wondering if I would be better off where I am. 


 


me too! I start this week. I had to sm
get cable internet because mine wasn't fast enough on the upload. Its in and I am waiting for my ID numbers from the hospital. They have treated me like a queen adn I haven't even started.

I too am excited about a job again!!!!!!!!!
mine's started this week nm
/
At mine it's 8 hours/day, 40 hrs/week.
SMALL PRINT:
What they DON'T bother to tell you is that with the minimum line count you're going to be expected to produce daily, it's going to take you 12+ hours to get it all done. 4 hours of which, you know, you will NOT be paid for.

THAT's 'full-time' employment in the MT world.
Hey Fingers! I start next week. sm
Had to decide to put in cable internet instead of what I had. It is installed Monday. I have everything I need, people have been wonderful and I haven't even started yet. Even got a nice gift for MT week and haven't typed a line yet!

I sure feel like a valued employee before I even start!

Thanks for asking! How you doing?
I know, but we will have it cleaned out to start the week and then it is (sm)
the last week of the payperiod and seems like people are always having to try to make up lines/hours that week.

Good luck to us all.
Mine does. Just loaded it on my laptop this week.
nm.
I got mine almost a week ago and already filed. You might want to call them.

I was hired by them last week, start this afternoon...
Feel free to email me
Anyone here typing the new acct that was to start this week?
nm
I start training with Webmedx next week...sm
Like you, I know there is no perfect company, but they do seem pretty darned close.
I start at Webmedx next week and was told...
that my account will be 30% ESL.  When filling out the questionnaire, you are given the opportunity to tell them the amount (percentage wise) of ESL you can handle.  I put down 30-40%. I'm impressed with the way the recruiter handled things and, hopefully, will feel the same way in a month or so.  He seemed to really want to work with me and address any concerns that I had.  Good starting line rate with a good incentive plan. 
Will start training next week... any input on what to expect?
thanks.
I got mine last week. It was postmarked 1/22/08. I actually have a refund coming this year! sm
I had been an IC for so long that I forgot how fun it is to get a refund, even if only $127!
TransHealth has some that start the next month after you start work. nm
xx
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. 
Full time with Transtech is both. 40 hours per week and 5500 lines per week.
x
Nope .. email on 1/18 promised "within the next week." Here we are, 1 week later and no info.
x
The minimum is 5500 per week, NOT 6600 per week. I think you made a typo. :)
NM
i clear over 800 a week, 40/week; 30+ year experience. (nm)

I get my paycheck every week - that is enough for me! Happy MT week everybody! nm
x
I got laid off for MT Week. Happy MT Week to me!
x
Good last week - Slow this week.
I hope this is not an indication of things to come.  I am getting 1,200 lines a day but it is taking me all day to do it.  We seem to be out of work from 9-12 every day this week.  Hope things pick up after Labor Day.
16 hours a week or 8 a week and get
401 K.
Why would anyone work 8 hours a week. The poster above said 16 or 24 hours a week.
:
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...
