where prices have also tripled, go to the doctor, and used to be I needed it to go to a movie once in a while but can't afford that now.
Ms. Transcender, why don't you get a cheerleading skirt and apply for that rah-rah teamleader position so you can send out all those e-mails with inappropriate capitalization and the obsessive use of !!!!!!!!!!!!!
so you make everyone think you are overworked. You would think that with 6 accounts I could stay busy, but I guess I cannot compete with those fast fingers from India.

Retail and grocery clerks do TOO
pi$$ and moan about working weekends and holidays. If they get scheduled, they don't show up. They don't care if they get fired. They can find another minimum wage/minimum skills job anywhere.
I agree with the other posters. I put my family on hold for a lot of years when I used to make GOOD money at this job. I'm not going to do it any more, especially for LESS pay. Why should I sit around doing nothing all day while my kids are at school and DH is working only to blow them off when they get home? Tell me WHY the doctors need their notes back within 12-24 hours. Most of them DON'T need their medical reports back that quickly unless it's a preop or stat dictation.
As for all the retail and grocery stores being open on holidays, weekends and late nights, well, I don't think that's necessary either. Saturday yes, but Sunday/holidays NO.
Sorry, but I made more than that as a grocery cashier 7 years ago (nm)

Retail, grocery clerks, etc. are PAID BETTER
Show me some serious money, and I'd be more than happy to forego the weekends and holidays.
LOL! They have a store? Oh goody. SM
I wouldn't call all the pay average either. Offshoring on every account, except one, that I know of.
If you are a new MT, it would be perfect for most of the other positives she listed. If you are not new, may be better to find some other place.
If they'd tell us up front what is in store for us, they would
save us all a lot of time. Is it too much to ask to have an idea of the type of audio, dictation, the details that can make or break the enjoyment of a job? After 25 years, I have paid my dues and would like to have an account that is enjoyable, gives me an income I can live on and a management team that doesn't use the drill sargeant approach. What is up with all the rude attitudes? Maybe the account they acquired should either be dropped or charged more if no one wants to transcribe their work. That, in turn, would snap lazy inconsiderate dictators out of their mode of let the MT figure it out/look it up. While they rake in the money because time is money and when I am not typing in a report, folks, i am not making any money. The day I meet a woman/man who does this job as a hobby, I'll rethink my stand.
My son applied for a department store once, sm
and they asked him all kinds of psychologic questions - it was just weird.
I bet by the end of the year the scrapbook store
will be gone too, how will it survive with no QT money?
They are actually in India, have a store front
location in MA, not Maryland.
If you go to the same store every day and spend a lot of money and your neighbor
and the storeowner gives your neighbor a $50 discount for being a new shopper, would you feel entitled to a discount because you gave the shopper so much of your business? Better yet, big insurance companies send a lot of business to doctors and hospitals and they get discounts on the medical bills that individual patients with no insurance can't get. Are the big insurance companies entitled to this because they give more business than the individual patients?
If these posts from just a few weeks ago are any indication of what we have in store for us, I'm
hoping to get out ASAP. http://forum.mtstars.com/main/v/1/131261.html
You won't find a foot pedal at a computer store.
I'd recommend using Express Scribe (google for url and download it for free) and just use function keys to test. Some foot pedals are interchangeable and work with different programs, some are proprietary and only one foot pedal with work with the software so I wouldn't buy one anyway until you know what you will need.
It is an Indian run company with a store front office in the US. If you are
working without a contract you're asking for trouble. They have no obligation to pay you if there is no contract.
Had a conversation similar to this at the drug store today
One of the ladies behind the pharmacy counter talking about raising kids. I was telling her what a wonderful life now that the kids are grown and out. I guess you can say this matronly woman is having the time of her life. I have good money coming in, in fact now getting in more than my union husband does each month, travel when I want and those golden years. Now I know where that saying comes from. This is the best years of my life right now. The pharmacy person asked me did I not miss those years with the children. I told her did I miss struggling? Heck no. Did I miss the yah, yah, yah, again heck no. Ladies you just do not know what you are missing if not, as you call it, a matron.
TT talks sweet, but I have never desired even a store clerk to call me sweetie . . . those niceties
have never impressed me unless they come from my husband/lover.
I've learned that it is exactly that - a store front. Or maybe just a front. nm
