That's fast in my book. I can't do that. Great job! :) nm

I got off TT QA very fast too & had great feedback
They do know how to spot quality MTs.
Great incentive plan, but based on speed/lph not total lines produced. Works if you are fast.

it sounds as if this may have been going on for a long time ...

and the manager feels herself to be/is helpless in the situation. 


If you have not already, you might offer your future support if she (ever) decides to deal with this situation.  (She has your mutual file, but she might appreciate some moral support).


When I was a hospital employee/supervisor, I once feared having to fire one of my favorite workers for conspiring with a doctor's office employee to conceal an error they had made (wrong patient information attached to a laboratory specimen). My kind hearted worker wanted to help this other person not get fired -- apparently the office worker had made this mistake before, doncha know. When I contacted the office manager about the error (an embarrassing several weeks later - the report had remained in limbo because my worker did not have the editing function to complete the correction), it turned out that the employee in question was habitually sloppy and careless. That office manager was almost happy to finally be able to fire her -- not so much for the error as the conspiracy and deceit to conceal the error.  That's how it should be handled.


Since you don't know why the office manager feels so helpless, unless you want to take her to lunch and become her BFF, I think you have to walk away and count your blessings to be able to do so -- and give the office manager the responsibility for doing nothing, regardless of the unfairness of it all (she gets to keep working in that environment, lucky her.).


 


That sounds great. I am having
trouble finding their E mail address.  Could you please give it out.  I would apply there.
Sounds great
Lets go together!!! LOL!!!
That sounds great !
Thanks for the info. I will do a little more research on them and maybe after the first of the year, I will contact them. This sounds like just what I want to add to my other MT job. The flexible part is what I like !!! Anyone on here work for them ?
Sounds great
Thanks for the info :-)
Sounds great to what some say others
x
But their web site sounds so great...
And web pages are always truthful, right?
Sounds great now, but sooner or later..SM
the technology will develop to the point that it can do all of it all on its own. You probably won't even get a thank you card for helping them put the technology in place and keep the work load current while they worked out the kinks to get to the point where they don't need most of you any more. It will turn out to have been a real cheap buy for them in the end. A little bigger piece to you now in order to ensure they eventually get the whole cake. Such a deal!

If the format is in place for use of VR, why not demand they just give it to you and let you use it to get it right the first time instead of having to take the time to fix it for somebody else? The only reason it makes sense to do it this way is because of where these companies eventually see it taking them, which is to a place that does not include us.
TransTech sounds great
It sounds like I'm getting a good deal then. I've been working for Cymed for the past 9 or 10 months and have pretty much been happy, but I heard that Transtech was one of the better companies out there, so I decided to apply yesterday, and this morning I had an email telling me to call them, and they offered me a position right away. I didn't even have to take the test.
This sounds great. I would love to do mostly OPs. SM
Was that by your choice?

I think everyone's experience at work is different, and it is easier to be negative than positive.
Sounds like a great place, but I wish they
straightened out that I have been reading about here for months and offer some PTO the first year. Everybody needs at least a day or two for illness, child illness, or just some R and R within a year's time. Also wish they hired part time to start out. Oh well, maybe someday as it does sound like a good place to try out.
That is just wonderful. Great. Sounds
xx
Wow it sounds like a great situation
If you could make it through to the first check or if you have, if you can, I suggest that you put half of each check in checking and the other half in savings. Then, pay yourself biweekly. Be strict on yourself no advances because then in your mind you will think you have suddenly gotten a great windfall, only to find in 2 weeks you are not paid again. Sounds like you have a great situation this MT certainly would love it... but like you, this MT would have to be very strict after making it through a long month with no check, and then only taking half of that to put away in savings. Good luck on the project to do this. But in a way, it evens out and if you can learn to do it, you will be happy, your production will go up and maybe you will end up a paycheck or money ahead of the game so you can give yourself a raise! :)
Sounds like you have a great VR account

but very demanding management.  Just like you wouldn't work for companies where the VR is really bad, I wouldn't work for a company that demanded I not erase and retype.  They're already cutting my pay...I'm not going to stand for them telling me I need to lose more money by doing it their way only, especially if the end product is the exact same. 


Thanks! Axolotl sounds great!
I just sent in my resume for Axolotl. They sound great. Just looking for steady work flow, dependable and accurate paycheck and a little bit of respect in turn for the same. Thanks again!
Sounds great! The problem is, I have been looking for 3 months - sm
And cannot find a company like what you are describing. Why aren't you willing to name the company? Do they not have enough work to go around?
Would you have to do some in-house training first? Sounds great if
s
Sounds great! Is it Word-based?
I am totally clueless about it!
Sounds great there...I was looking at their website just last week (sm)

don't know if they are hiring though..but can you answer 1 more question?  Re weekends: Do you have to work every weekend or maybe 2 weekend days a month?  TIA. 


Sounds like you work at a great place
That seems like a much more reasonable line rate for VR, 0.065 - correct.  A lot better than the 0.03 0 0.045 that most offer.  Would it be okay to ask who you work for? 
Well great!! How long ago was this? nm

Wow...now that sounds great. I hate using my PTO for holidays ...not fair/nm

I'm newly hired at EtransPlus. Everything sounds great
I am SO ready and willing to sit and work my hours and get in my lines, because I've been looking for a good, dependable MT job now for quite a while. I have an IC job, but the work isn't there all the time & I've fallen behind in all my bills, including rent - so it's a relief that I found something at this point.

What I'm worried about is if my employ at eTransPlus will end up just like all the other companies I've worked for in the past, lately the past few years, where the work dries up and I'm left looking for MORE work again. I'm SO TIRED of this! I just want to sit and work but can't find reliable, steady work for some reason.

I'm stressed out, poorer than I ever was, and really getting too old for all this.

I guess I'm just venting because I'm so worried that this is my last shot at some kind of steady work, and if it doesn't work out as far as work flow, I'm really up the creek, seriously. Too stressed out.

To ex eTransPlus employees, what made you quit? Did you have enough work?
This company sounds great, but they don't accept satellite users. :(

Other than that, from what I can see, they provide equipment/software, etc.  Sounds like a really great company.  I would apply if they could look over the satellite situation. I have had no problems with three other companies using satellte.


GREAT - so as long as the next cut is under 32% we will still be making big bucks, right? nm
.
Sounds Great.. I have renewed faith but I didnt really doubt they cared..
They are pretty great to work for..
A wax doll, a long straight pin, and a lock of hair - great therapy. nm

Great company. I've been recommending this company for a long time.

Webmedx fits that bill, great company, great benefits, great pay and always on time. NM

Great company, great boss, great account!!!nm

sure sounds swell. Sounds like 2350 ln/day @ 4 cents/ln=$90./day
in order to figure how many line needs to be produced to make $500 per pay period. ie, how many lines an hour needed per 8 hour day --at your rate.

So say $450 a week would be $90 a day.
For example, if making 4 cents a line,need 2,250 lines a day, 281 an HOUR (to listen through and edit) to make this great wage of $90. a day FOR ALL THIS SAME SKILL, TO KEEP UPDATED WITH CHANGING MEDICAL COMMUNITY. nope Better at Jack-in-Box Pass it up.
No problem :) No matter how long, it is too long for me - I am broke the day after payday. Kids wi
do that to you!

I know that they have worked very hard to make sure that checks are never late and I can say that in the past two years, I have had one problem (2 days late) and in the past 18 months, they have all been on payday and perfect.

I know that there are a lot of hard feelings in MT in general. I also know firsthand (and I am not mgmt) how hard KS has worked to get things going good.

I would not want to walk in an MTSO's shoes for any amount of money, but that's just me. I like to finish my work for the day, forget about work when not working and get paid on payday. I never want the other things that go with mgmt or owning a company of any kind :)
They definitely rip you off with your line count. Figured this out long ago and quit long ago

What really sucks is that I looked for a LONG, long time -sm
before joining DRC - wanted a highly reputable, not-too-big co. that was LOCAL, and that treated its MTs humanely. I'm very happy with DRC & had planned to stay with them permanently.
System great, pay good, everything great, but most managers from old Edix, problems, poor people ski
when you are out of work, you are out of luck. If you are good at brown-nosing, are tough enough to be without any self-esteem, and have maybe money coming into the household on the side in case you tick someone off, then you may succeed, for a little while.

Don't ever ask questions or have problems with anything. Don't ever have a problem. Don't think you will have any control over anything you do, either.

A few 'good' managers remained when I left, but the new ones were all from the old Edix, and were completely into numbers, cared nothing for individual MTs...if there is work, you BETTER be working. If there no work, you will hear nothing, no one will help you.
You are pathetic! I have a great life, loving family, work for a great company.
You might want to fix that.

You really don't have to shout (angry person), but yes you are wrong!!

That is my last word to you!

I will add that getting a great pay check every other Friday from Medware really puts a huge smile on my face.
Oracle is great. Bayscribe is wonderful great line counts.
The trainer at OTI will always answer any questions about the platform and if you have any problems they have already worked them out, so just ask. Good luck!
YOG - Lots of work, great office staff, great money. NM

Loved Alltype! Great management and great accounts.
wah  -  i miss it there!
Long, long history of not paying...and
similar posts have been made here in the past few months. Everyone thinks they will be different, and then they end up coming back here to warn others that they don't pay.
It's a great company -- lots of work and great pay. sm
Web site is www.mditrans.net.  If you need anymore info, feel free to ask. 
AXOLOTL - A GREAT COMPANY WITH GREAT INSURANCE
Axolotl has AWESOME, AFFORDABLE insurance.  Family plan medical and dental costs a little over $300.00 MONTHLY.  They also pay for family plan vision in its entirety.  STD, LTD, 401K with match and flex spending account, great PTO and HOLIDAY pay.  OH and paid downtime in the case you run out of work, which doesn't happen often!!! 
Sounds like it and it sounds like you must tell them when they will be and no change them. Wonder
what you do when there is no work. Well, there will be a lot of problems with this whole plan if they dont get things straightened out with this no work situation.
Great pay, great benefits for 11+ years..sm
I've just started with this great company (eMTS).  I have 11+ years of experience and I was started at .10 per line as a regular employee, not IC, with a huge sign-on bonus, full benefits, very nice people, and a good account.  So far, this is the best experience I've had in my years as a transcriptionist.  Unfortunately, I don't believe they're hiring more right now, but you could always check in with them, they're online at eMTS.com.  The management seems to really care and they work with you.
Great company, great boss....

I use to work there.  The dictators on my account were really good.  They use Emdat/Inscribe.  Pay on 1st and 15th by direct deposit.


That''s great and I've heard they pay great as well.
I just have heard a lot of adjectives for a few accounts - zinger, killer, impossible, etc., and I sure know I couldn't hack it there. But I'm sure they know what they are getting into when they sign up.
