We also work part time for MQ BECAUSE WE CAN............

now for all those down on us PT'ers.......go take a chill pill and MYOB.

What I do and how I work is NO BUSINESS of the *observer* nor anybody else. 

I am not a recruiter, but you shouldn't not hire someone because they have a life.  It is a shame that MTs do not use discretion when they need time off or need to shift gears so to speak.  The fact that you know personal information, i.e., mother to the doctor, kids to school, is unfortunate.  However, I would chalk this up to being honest.  I do not remember the last time a company offered to take my children to school or to pay my electric bill for using my own computer at home to do their work.  I am an IC, so I write it off, but if I were an employee then where is the compensation. 

Have you thought for an instant that some MTs think 7 or 8 cpl is not worth the hassle of being CLOCKED every minute?  I am a very successful Transcriptionist and do the work I am required to do.  I work for a company that knows the true meaning of IC in that I work from a pool.  If I cannot work today, then someone else is trained to do the work.  If I can work tomorrow, then all is well and everyone is happy including my bill collectors.

I am one of those that does not like to work when my husband is home, but I am reachable.  The fact that I have my own accounts is helpful.  On the other hand, I have offered to work more, and told that there is no work.  So, I go with the flow.  I offer up Sundays and offer two late nights a week.  I have also pitched in when someone took work and then had an emergency.  Computers do fail, children do get sick, and if I were on-site I would have to leave for these types of situations as well. 

I have worked on-site, and they were much more understanding that what comes from some of these rants regarding good MTs.

With all of that said, please don't clump us all together.  In all fairness, there may be an MT out there that does get looked past because they do not have the required hands-on experience, but they may be a great typist, and no one will give them the chance.    

WOW.  They have to drive a whole ten miles.  I am so jealous.   Since MANAGEMENT is based in Madison, Wisconsin and it takes 20 minutes to travel from one end of the city to the other, I do not think driving through the snow for a SPA weekend is all that much of a bonus.  Now Cancun.  That would be a bonus. 

Jealous of whom?  A pregnant girl wanting to start a family?  I've had 27 months (9x9x9) combined pregnancy of my own, so the 'jealousy' accusation is in your head only, dear, but thank you for telling me what I'm (supposedly) thinking, anyway.  And as for telling me to go break my leg and not having to worry about production I think those 2 are mutually exclusive issues - maybe you've learned to type with your toes, I haven't.  As far as my worrying about my production (thanks AGAIN for telling me what I'm thinking) - no worries at all there.

If I were you, I'd brush up on my basic grammar and watch those apostrophes where they're supposed to be going -- you couldn't pass a simple third grade spelling test and worrying about production would be the least of YOUR worries!

why was she rude?  I didnt see anything rude in her post.  So she got more lines than you, how is that rude?  I work at Transcend also and I got my lines in that I usually get.  I had to type a different shift of course.  I work different times of the day when it is slow and I always manage to make it. 

Also, the email that was sent out I think was very considerate.  Any other company, when slow ( and they ALL get slow), just slows down with no explanations, reassurances, or care. 

is saying because I have worked with a number of people over the years who will look you straight in the eye and tell you that they were the best transcriptionists and in fact they were terrible!  Usually they had a bunch of years in, but they had limited value - like typing only 1 type of work or had only worked at 3 little rural hospitals, like that.  They functioned well as long as the dictator was American and spoke at a normal rate of speed but they would never be able to do the kind of work a normal transcription service has.

ripping apart the company, she just stated her experience with the company to date and her frustration.  I can totally understand her position, wanting to be hired by a certain company, applying with them, getting excited because they send you a form to complete and then nothing after that.  I have gone through the exact same thing but luckily once I did finally hear from the company, some months later, I had had enough people to tell me to run and RUN fast from them. 

Again, I just took it as her venting her frustration, as so many do, on this forum, just as you have with previous companies.  She did not give her name so it really makes no difference what she said about them.  I know that management from some companies watch these boards and hopefully some of them will take a hint if they read a post such as hers and change things .... yep and I am still waiting on that million dollar check from Ed McMahon.
