Good Companies - Linda
- OTI gives you a weekly quota. sm - MT
  - OTI - Linda
    - Yes, it's Oracle. Be persistent (sm) - MT
      - Oracle - Linda
- Guess you got your answer, huh? - sm
- as long as I meet TAT on my .... - I work when I want...
  - as long as I meet my TAT - Linda
- Most companies need certain hours - MTbird
  - as far as needing certain hours that would conflict with IRS - rules for IC versus employee
    - IC cannot be told I need you to work between 1 and 5 but they can say I need these lines by - X o'clock. IC says yes or no. nm
      - That was my point :) - NM
  - Most companies... - Linda
    - Must be a small company. 1000 lines/day is not that impressive. nm - NoFighting
      - I think it depends on how long it took... - HMMM
      - there is a midsized company with 900 lines a day - but heavy producers can't get large
        Balancing act - Find your size company
      - WHy should I care if you are impressed or not. It it suits me, I don't give a darn if anyone - else is impressed. nm
      - Must be a small company - Linda
  - There are still companies that need your work by a certain - deadline and it's up to you to get it
    - But could you just not turn on computer that day and NOT do the work. Or could you call and say - weren't going to work that day and they were ok
      - I could call and say - Linda
        Yes, but if you called off suddenly a couple times a month because you just didn't feel like - working, you would be unemployed. nm
        I could call and say - Linda
      - yes I could but if I already said I would accept work, I don't - do that very often or will find myself
        Exactly! MTSO needs a consistent IC that she can count on. Take off now and then but you - have to be dependable. nm
      - I think this could only be done with a huge client base, or a huge number of say only - discharge reports. nm
- SM - anon
  - Good Companies - Linda
- MT is a job, not a hobby that you just do when and how much you want. How do you expect an MTSO - to run a business under those conditions? nm
  - There are companies that manage to make it work. OTI, for example. nm - MT
  - I worked when and how much I wanted for years - sm
    - Thank you. nt - Good Sense
    - MT is a job, not a hobby... - Linda
      - Your OP "where I can work when and how much I want". How did you think we would - take such a statement? nm
    - MTSOs need to know the work is going to be done consistently. Not just when someone feels like - turning on their computer. nm
      - Considering some companies do give a weekly quota, maybe you shouldn't speak - for all MTSOs. ?? yes?
      - Ok then - MTSOs need to get intelligent enough to figure out how to - PREPARE for the work flow, and plan and hire
        Walk in my shoes - Patti
        Shouldn't you be factoring that into the bid and making accommodations for - that to happen in the bid and the cost?
        Sure, factor it in, but no one knows what the future holds and MTSO has no control over those - issues. nm
        MTSOs have no control over the factors that would make this - possible. nm
        Aren't MTSOs the owners? Well if owners of MT companies - are not working up a bid, then I
        The bid has nothing to do with consistancy of work. MTSO cannot control how cosistant work is. - Only facilities and Drs. control that. nm
        Perfect MT world - MT is not a hobby
  - MT is a job - Linda
    - I apologize if I sounded rude to you - MTbird
      - MT is a job - Linda
        MT is work not hobby - Is this what you meant?
        It does work for some companies. OTI is one. Please - MT
        placed=place (typo police abound). nm - MT
  - I was told to think of it as a career. - wow
  - I wish there was an icon that shows cartwheels and pom-poms!! I agree. Why - MTSO
    - And why do MTSOs treat ICs as employees? nm - MT
    - Toughest hobby I ever had. - anon
      - Good companies - Crabby
        So what are you saying? - PTMT
        IC - Crabby
        Okay, well, I still don't think - PT IC
        IC - Crabby
