    Nope. Company does.
    And the company pays 7.65% of the SS while you pay 7.65%...otherwise, you pay the whole 13.3% yourself.

    Nope. No sign-on bonus. Just a good company.
    It's hard to find a good company.
    Nope. We just get sick and tired of our company getting bashed
    at every turn. We love this place and have run out of patience with posters like this who clearly have no idea what they are talking about.

    Have you never lost your patience?
    nope, not me, NOPE Worked to hard and long to sm
    know what I know, my expertise is worth more and constant updating . Keep looking on the job boards. Email and ask if VR, pay for space and lowest to highest line rate for the POSITION (generic question) not I have 20 years exp. etc
    No. They dropped me to PT because
    to their needs but it wasn't me it was the other girl on the account. Anyway they dropped me to PT, she quit, and now they expect me do to the account on a FT basis without giving my FT status or my benefits back.
    They dropped the ball with me, too (sm)
    I persisted a lot longer than I normally would because I really needed a job and had heard good things about them. I kept on them for weeks, and did eventually get hired. I was with them for quite a while but had to quit because I needed benefits. Still the best MT company I've run across. One account that doesn't run out of work. That makes a lot of difference.
    Dropped you an email
    /
    So is this all QA or just those on the dropped accts?
    Just wondering!
    Job postings have dropped because
    we are in a depression. Yes, I said a depression. No one on television will say the D word for fear of scaring people, but do your homework. Our country's economy is tanking rapidly.
    Someone said 30 straight dropped to 20 VR - sm
    There's a thread downstream here about that. But I make 35 now. That's why I want VR to self destruct.
    Dropped Accounts sm
    How often have you worked for a company and they lost a huge account and you were fired?   I am really getting tired of this career and really need to find another one soon before I go nutters.  Company keeps screaming about TAT and hours and keeps threatening that they will fire us or the hospital will terminate the account.  We rarely get any positive feedback, individual or otherwise, and when we do get one kudo, its always followed by a BUT.. 

    Anyway, should I be worried..  Should I have another job just in case.  I am an IC and get my lines and rarely work other than the schedule I gave but I can't be without a paycheck.  We are barely getting by now. 
    You are right. Even Bill Gates dropped
    the whole idea of VR, saying that it could not be perfected enough to be profitable for the software company who manufactures it. You are also right in that if something inferior is sold to someone and it doesn't work properly, they won't even think of using it again. In my experience, the C-phone worked the best and even WP5.1 for speed and from my point of view for making the most money. I also used to use Mac and found it to be very fast and efficient.
    When they dropped 's from eponyms they lost...sm
    what little respect they have.   Many doctors think transcriptionists are stupid if they type things like Alzheimer Disease instead of Alzheimer's Disease. 
    My accounts were not dropped. They were still going strong nm

    Glad I dropped her a line
    It turns out she lost my email and she was happy I wrote. I'm really glad. She's a great person to work for.
    It's sad how badly new job postings have dropped
    And those that are getting posted are mostly for places with really bad reputations and/or companies that don't respond to emails.
    My line count has dropped due to CPL
    I get taxes and insurance taken out of my check but my income went way down when cpl went down.  At 11,000 lines of regular transcription at 8 cents a line  my take home was around $800 (before taxes/insurance).  When speech rec came out and we were not given a choice of regular transcription or speech recognition the CPL went down to 4 cents a line.  Now my check is $500 (before taxes/insurance).  It makes a big difference!!
    My sister dropped her insurance. sm
    It was costing her $350.00 a month for one person. She pays for her office visits in cash and gets a discount because she is under the income level. Same if she goes to the hospital. She gets a poverty discount. I think it is about 20%. Go figure.
    sorry "most" of the time - dropped my sentence. nm

    Ha! This is what dropped into my pool of its own accord. It was a "pocket" and that happens s

    Nope
    Not yet!
    Nope...
    I'm already in the process of getting in with another company while I can still make the change because I WANT to and not because I HAVE to. 
    Nope,they have their own although sm
    if you speak to tech support,they may be able to import your shortcuts into their program.
    NOPE, OSi

    Nope...
    No, it doesn't make it 10.75 cpl. I thought that it might at first, too. Look at it this way: 15.3% (the actual %) has to be paid out of what you make. As an SE, half of that is paid by your employer, the other half by you. As an IC, you pay the whole. So you're actually only paying 0.0765% more.

    What I did to figure out which rate was best. SE versus IC, was to take the base rate and subtract the 0.0765% from it. At 10 cpl, that gives you an SE-comparable rate at 0.09235 cpl.
    Nope. Nope and not any more

    Nope, not that one! (sm)
    The BestPRN I know of does primarily psych and has a system that prevents cherry-picking. The owners are the best I have ever worked for.

    There are about twenty zillion services named PRN transcription.

    Nope I don't.

    They have their OWN accounts now using several types of software.  I only use one type of software they have, but they have 3 accounts with it.  I work on two of them.

    Nope, never have
    Whenever I have applied for a job in the past, I have always submitted it directly to the employer. I want to avoid being contacted by these types of strange places.

    Nope.
    I don't know a thing, except that I wouldn't want to send my personal information to an unidentified company with a rapper's personal email address as contact information. This is the business world. They can be more professional in their communication efforts.
    Nope, not MQ or OSi, but...
    but thanks guys for the tip - I know who to stay away from!   I have played MQ before, never ever again - don't know about OSi, but I think I'll steer clear.  This is more of a wish list and a compilation of all the negative things I have experienced over the years and just don't want to deal with again.  I realize no place will be perfect.  I'm hoping some MTSOs will see the post and pay attention - but if they are already operating this they most likely won't change their ways, nor are they likely to care - just a vent.

    Nope
    Not even a message or card. Maybe they don't know about Christmas in India. :-)
    Nope. I did not see it, but then again...
    I do not always get the emails because of the problems with the server. I know they are looking for a new server. But, never got that email.
    Nope!
    I have only heard that there is no communication and no QA feedback. I know a person from India who worked under an American's information for 2 months submitting horrible reports to QA and she never received an ounce of feedback and was never contacted a single time about the horrible quality.
