So much for the big thing about them caring about their employees. You two should

Its a thing of the past. Employees are a dime a dozen now, and
you are treated like dirt. The more layers of management that are added, the worse it gets, especially in this business, because they put these little control freaks with no experience other than raising a few kids in charge of things and they only know how to rule by holding a whip.
Under careers.

just noticed their add on careers
I guess they have lowered the pay again. Now they are hiring in at .075 cpl. Gee, that much?
Changing careers
I was a Transcriptionist for 11 years and going through the same thing - less pay and terrible accounts. Changed companies a lot, but it was always the same - little or no work. Finally I had a friend of mine who is a doctor (has her own family practice) tell me that she hired a company out of India to do her work for 7cpl with 24 hour TAT and they would incorporate it into her computer system. This was the last straw for me and I got out. I found a job transcribing and captioning videos for the deaf and hearing impaired students at a local university. I also take classes with a couple of these students and take notes. There are other things out there - I am happier than I have been in years!
There are a lot worse careers.
At this time, I would not advise anyone to become an MT. There is no security at all, but until a few years ago it was a great career choice. I have done this for 23 years, have always had a husband that could support his family, have never needed the insurance so can be an IC, and have all the flexibility that goes along with it. Those who are trying to raise a family, I understand all the problems that you are having. Maybe it is time to look at another career choice and go in another direction. All the energy put on these boards complaining about MTing could be directed towards a new career.
NEW CAREERS OR HOBBIES?
Well, I'm not sure whether this is a new career, or maybe it's a hobby, but I've recently started making stuff to sell at an online auction. I already have a stash of fabric, so I thought I would put it to use. Also, I've joined 3 companies that promote holistic pet products and/or nutritional products for people as well. I've been a discount customer for one of these companies for a few years now, but I've decided to take my involvement to the next level. I've always had an interest in nutrition and did manage to figure out, finally, how to lose weight at my old age and subsequently get cured of diabetes, while actually, for the first time in my life, thinking outside of the traditional medical box. While I truly enjoy most of what I do with medical transcription, I realize that medical transcription may become the part-time hobby, while these other pursuits may become my full-time business. Wish me luck..
Scoping Careers International
Is anyone familiar with a company called Scoping Careers International? I came across this on mtjobs.com and it says you will edit legal documents? Wondering if it is legit???
You'd be surprised. You can switch careers.
No longer doing MT and loving it!
MQ is where many of us started our careers so many moons ago.
a
You said it! Women defined careers just don't pay
no respect.....men would never put up with the crap we do
Actually, a lot of careers have had wage cuts
Anything that can be offshored to India for under a penny on the dollar has seen their wages cut. Do we remember what happened not too long ago to all the software engineers that used to make really good money? They're probably making half of what they made 10 years ago. The few customer support people that remain stateside probably make at least $2 an hour less than they made 10 years ago. Heck, even the radiologists that used to make great night, weekend, and holiday pay took a beating when they discovered they could offshore that, too.
So the pain is spread around, but it doesn't make it less painful. They have to find a way to bring American jobs back to America. It doesn't do much good for the so-called global workforce to lower the price of a plasma TV if I can't even afford to buy Wonder Bread.
All through this century careers have been phased out...
...due to technological advances. This is happening at an exponential rate - especially during the last decade. We're on the cusp of this business being obsolete. Maybe obsolete is a bit dramatic. It will definitely morph into a different business model.
Eventually it will take just a handful people to do the work that it once took scores of people to accomplish. Look at front end VR. Many docs are utilizing this right now, with no need for an MT/editor. EMR is vying to eliminate narrative dictation/transcription. We're at the top of a slippery slope.
sorry about the typo... shoulda been careers... sheesh... NM

I'm thinking............Time to change careers.
Why do people struggle so hard until they are so miserable that they live, sleep, and breath misery. You are right though about struggling, it's never going to change so I am taking classes to get my coding degree. I am choosing NOT to be miserable anymore.
I looked facility up on line - checked careers and found they had a current opening for MT there. (
That pretty much told me they did have inhouse. It was an MT position for acute care, not just one of the ancillary departments.
You should check out the Nuance website and the Focus website
Nuance is Dictaphone and since a lot of use Dictaphone equipment, you can say we all have something to do with this. If you are surprised at the website above, look at the US website of nuance. Just IMHO and try to get both sides of the corporation.
Oh for sure employees, but not too often for statutory employees. Sorry for confusion.

Attn: Any Transcend employees or former employees
I have been offered a job with Transcend, but I am not completely sure about it yet and I need some input from you guys. I have read positives and negatives regarding this company but alot of it was pretty old information. Can anyone give me some recent feedback on them? Thanks very much!!!
It's not at the IRS website. It is in my state website.
It is clearly written that any employer out of state is bound by the laws of my state as far as taxes. Look at your state website.
They have IC and employees, employees get benefits.
Good company. I am very happy there.
Does anyone like it at Precyse? New employees? old employees? nm

Debate is one thing, and posting is one thing,
but this is getting absurd. I think it must be the same person, otherwise multiples who cannot stay on topic?? Why can't you STICK with the subject? The subject of my post was NOT what your cent per line rate was or is - I could care less- and not how much money you made last year, this year, or in your life, but how silly the comment was that your cents per line rate means NOTHING, that its up to you - some fluff like that. That is just so silly. Again, working for the same company, same account, is one going to make more money being paid more per line? OF course! This is so frustrating and really makes me so tired of reading this garbage let alone posting. Its like a nightmare. And also makes me completely believe that the original company must pay peanuts.
good thing it is a temporary thing sm
because people with your attitude don't stay in anything very long anyway. Nobody has to listen to that crap to keep their job.
You don't know me either. you can say old fart all you want (when did 53 get to be old fart....too funny) but at least I am a valuable employee who can get a decent job!
Well for one thing, it would not be a professional thing
to do for any MTSO to have a board to do this as part of being an MTSO involves the ability to identify and hold on to confidential information. Even if a person is a job hopper (which in this business rather than go against you can make you a stronger better MT if you can do just about anything thrown at you), if a person is looking for a job, a company needs to have the MT's permission to contact their current employer. Where one has worked or has not worked is something that is very unprofessional being discussed on a board by MTSOs.
Being a business owner of any kind comes with it possessing what it takes to maintain ethical practices.
Their website does not say that (nm)

Do they have a website or an ad somewhere?
I have decided I have had enough with the company-who-will-not-be-named. I admit I can't take it anymore, though I thought I would retire with them! I would love to work for a nice NJ company - Jerser girl that I am. I am looking for a nice company with work, so they sound like a match. Can anyone share how to get in contact with them? I'll be googling in the meantime, but would appreciate any other contact info!
Do they have a website? TIA

Good luck. I know how hard it can be to find a good company. I, again, absolutely LOVE DSG and all the supervisors! They also give positive feedback, which is another hard thing to find in a supervisor/company.

Could you give me the name..I searched but found nothing.

Do they have a Web Site? I searched for them on the intenet and came up with nothing.

website- sm
It is www.dsg-inc.net. Their website doesn't give a lot of information but here is what I know. It is IC status, they have about 180 to 200 MTs. Minimum for PT is 2500 lines a week, I can't remember what fulltime was but I think it was 5000 lines a week. You don't have a set schedule, you can work when you want and like I said earlier about the weekends. They use DocQScribe as their platform. I've had people tell me that they have a hard time getting work with them but when I talked to the recruiter she said that they had one of their largest accounts that had started sending in more dictation and they were behind pretty bad. She said that she expected the large amount of dictation to continue and not have a problem getting work. I turned down the position and went with somebody else but they were my second choice of all the companies I had talked to. They sounded like a good fit for me.
Does anyone have website for MDI-MD?
I can't find it.
