Haha ... you're funny ... lol. nm


You're funny. Where in heck do you get your info? (sm)
They are not rapidly going to AVR or whatever you called it.  Doctors at many hospitals refuse to use it, and so it's about half AVR and half transcribing.  Probably will stay that way for quite awhile.  You know, many of those doctors are old dogs like me.  A good MT will always have work to transcribe.  If you only do American accents, you might have a harder time.
You're right, I wasn't! (Funny how when a subject
can change what it was intended to say!) I meant that the MTSO was crying the ol' crocadile tears about poor us, we need more workers, gotta go to India to get 'em. Oh, REALLY? I agree with the above poster's sentiments who suggested she move to India. She'd have lots of like company there... snake-oil salesmen & shysters.
Hope you're enjoying those slave wages you're earning.

So you guys feel you're getting paid what you're worth with VR?
I'm not trying to be snarky. I've never done VR, so I'm trying to understand.

You're happy with your paycheck with VR? Do you find the files to be as bad as the original post implied?
So you're telling me, basically, they're bad news?
They offered me 0.095/line and you know - it sounded too good to be true, but I SWEAR the recruiter told me they do not outsource. Oh brother... I just wish they'd be honest. I really don't know what to do.
Not the OP, but they're supposed to take out all the other taxes as you're an employee with th

No, they're not losing money....they're gaining!
If a company charges their clients by the line, I'm sure that line rate does not go down even though the MTs pay does.

ASR pays about 2/3 normal line rate to its MTs. Their ultimate goal is to have the MTs do twice as much work. Therefore, the client is getting their work faster, but paying their normal rate, while corporate gets that money and the MTs get the lower line rate.

Whether the newbies want to realize it or not, MTSOs have not increased MTs' salaries in the past 10 years. They still start out at the same pay as the last century!

This used to be a very lucrative profession. Nowadays, most MTs are considered to be paid at the poverty level. You don't believe me, look it up!
Hey, you're in luck then. They're hiring! (nm)

If you're an IC, you pay all your taxes. Otherwise you're an SE or employee. nm

If you're PT you're required to work

8 of your hours in one weekend day.  There's no extra pay for it though.

We're not 'so scared' of it. We're trying to help
you to not make a huge mistake, but I guess you're determined to learn the hard way, so good luck with that.
If you're in the 37% tax bracket, you're making over
100K per year. Quit complaining.
That is really funny
The majority cannot be wrong.  Your first post brought on the reactions of many, all saying the same thing.  Your first post was rude.  It just was. It sounded hateful.  No way that 5 different people read it wrong.  Funny how you descend upon the poor OP and basically rip her apart and then call the rest of us vultures.  So funny.  You are not one to be preaching about attitudes and how we should watch them.  Talk to the woman in the mirror first. 
OMG HOW FUNNY!!!
NM
it's funny that
the packet states no one will get a pay cut but they gave out pay cuts before people trained on DEP as DEP has only a certain pay level, so they were told. I guess this means no pay cuts with this packet. Pretty smarmy, huh??
too funny
nm
I think it is funny that you all
want to say that JACKO and the others you mentioned are the only rudes ones on this board. Look over the posts. Pretty much everyone here is rude. I've never seen anything like it.
that is funny....unfortunately if they were not that way, I don't many of us would have a job-LOL

Too funny. He gets around. nm

Funny
Please, why is it that if someone has been treated badly and there are issues that that person tries to convey to another for their own warning, why is that a grudge?  You watch too much TV!
Too funny.
I have two dried up accounts as well. Yet they are still hiring. Go figure.
lol, and for 8 cpl! Now, that's funny.

Oh what like I'm scared? Yes M.E. are my initials, you better believe it. Saying liar is not slanderous. Especially since this board makes disclaimers. Funny.
How funny!!!
Was it a lady by the name of Phyllis Tate who contacted you?  She is always going on cruises.  I turned down that company one week after I started working there.  That place is so darn screwed up.  Do not consider taking a job whatsoever!!!
THAT WAS FUNNY!
So funny!!  Yes, we know how to focus and concentrate and we know how to DROWN out nonessentials of background noise.
Funny....
I sent a resume to them and one of the questions was how much ESL do I do. I told them over 50% and that was why I was leaving my current job. They emailed me back and said based on my ESL answer, I was not a suitable candidate for their company.
lol that was funny

I don't care who you are!

LOL! That's funny...nm
This has never happened to me, not once. I have taken many tests and aced them and my email inbox was filled with email offers. I have 20 years experience and told them up front what I made/wanted. I think some MTs just can't face the fact that they failed the test.
TOO FUNNY

Oh, please stop with all the nonsense!!  Why do you feel compelled to give out these TIPS?  So, nonqualified people can give a false, yet professional-appearing resume and then you can test them and waste your time?  Are you crazy?  At least you can quickly eliminate those - what does it take 1.5 seconds to look and throw out?  Is this your biggest job complaint?  Why don't you quit complaining about your job - do you really expect to get all perfect resumes!!  Hello - anyone home in there?? I thought evaluating a resume was part of a recruiters job - respond to good ones and don't to the bad ones...you act like you want these folks working at Super Wal-Mart to present a nice resume -Now, why would you desire that?


 These jobs are posted on the INTERNET - expect some crazy people !! 


P.S. I've had to deal w/a lot of recruiters who need some serious help, but I don't feel compelled to give out any suggestions - they would not listen anyway.  Its simple when the company/recruiter is ever rude, unprofessional, unorganized, giving false info - I move on.  You get a joke of a resume - move on!!


 


TOO FUNNY !
SAme thing happened to me ! After I resigned from Focus, It took them a good two weeks afterward to acknowledge my notice of resignation. They are sooooo ignorant and unprofessional !
How funny..
I was paid late. Supposed to have been paid Friday and still waiting.

MOST of the time DD works better than waiting for checks to arrive.
Thats is too funny
Sounds like sour grapes to me.
TOO FUNNY!!!!
Can tell its getting late - but Im right there with ya with the Dippity DOO
Now thats funny:)
Damn if you do and damn if you don't. Post something positive and people try to turn it into a negative. LOL>>>
That's really funny!
So, if something gets rave reviews, it can't possibly be any good? Thanks for giving me a chuckle.

As for me, I personally have experience with both companies, and you couldn't drag me back to MQ if you hitched me to a semi!
Very funny
Not ! You're an idiot. I've seen your name just me with your boasting about another company that is soooo crooked beyond belief!!!! Getting jealous because KS is getting more positive attention are we?
that's funny
because I have worked for Priority Transcription for over 5 years and NEVER had a problem getting paid. I have even received bonuses for meeting TAT! Maybe there was a reason you didn't get paid!!!
Funny how OSI is in bad need of MTs

so one person gets on here with all this crazy talk about how great they are.  Anyone who has worked for this company knows what a nasty little place it is.  Trust me, OSI has lost all the good ones.  The only people there are ones the other companies will not talk to.  Just makes ya go hmmmmmm!

Funny you should say that (sm)
I have made up my mind to stay off message boards and focus, and I have, but not completely.  Still visit occasionally.  I had increased production, though.  Hmmm.  I really was trying to type faster though, so that's probably it.

Funny....sm
I think Medquist has so much work because most MTs left and went to Transtech and now TransTech hasn't enough work! I know of a few MQ MTs who went to TT... coincidence? The workloads haven't changed, only the MT load.

Wish it wasn't so and sincerely hope TT gets back on even ground, they seem like such a nice company. On the other hand, MQ is getting what they ordered IMHO.
Now THAT is funny!

Funny you should ask...
I don't do anything other than MT from home, but I just saw something on TV last night where a lady has made her own business called The Handwork Studio teaching children how to knit.  It looked to me like she sat about 6 children around a table and was teaching them how to knit.  I thought what a wonderful idea.  So many are looking for things like this for their children for the social interaction.  The lady said she is having the time of her life.  Do you have a hobby that you could share in regards to teaching a class?  Made me wonder.... 
That's funny! You know something....
