I would ask your super

S/he should be upfront with you about it.  Did you receive any paperwork that specifically stated the terms of your employment and what you would be paid for?  Just tell him/her that you are trying to improve your line count, but you need to know what it's being based on.  I would also bring up what the recruiter told you, if it hasn't been too long, and see what she says.  The recruiter may inadvertantly be misinforming others, too. 


PS - I did not post the comment below about assume.  I'm not one to harp on that subject since I take people for face value way too often myself.


It's SUPER FRIENDLY for the MT. sm
It's all pretty self-explanatory.  Spell check is fine, not sure what exactly you are asking about that....
and to the Super Bowl too!
So funny - I make that typo all the time too!

GO STEELERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Must be Super-Glue
Whatever glue you are referring to must be tremendously potent because your post makes no sense.
For DQS update super says to log on to SM
Service Center tomorrow for the update.  Not sure what she means. Do we just log on to DQS as usual to receive download? 
So, you won't ask your super for a week but
My goodness.

Find a new super...

Find a position where there is flexibility for your line count. 


MTA is a super company!
This is a well-established and well-run company. I have worked with them for 2 years and Lynn and Troy are fantastic people. Go for it!
WAHOO!!!! Here we go...to the super bowel! nm

Super platform to work in.
Emdat is by far one of the most user friendly and productive platforms I have used.  MTs working with me have commented on the ease of learning and a great manual coupled with a wonderful tutorial to get you started.  Additionally, it has many features that include automatic log which shows you where you are at any point in the day .. email me if you have any specific questions.
Winscribe is super easy. There's
nothing to it. You see the jobs that are available and click to open, type. Have no fear. :)
Super Global Solutions
They install their program, which is word based on your computer, and also use email. It is very user friendly.
Super Duper Easy
May I be nosy and ask you how much they pay for this easy account?
Super Global Solutions
I saw mention of a company called Super Global Solutions on a December 2006 post.  I have not found any information on it.  Does anyone have any information?  Thanks!!
Super Global Systems
Maybe it's Superior Global Systems.  I work for them and it's a great company!!
Nothing. They're SUPER busy right now - SM
I believe the woman who hires may be out of town or bringing on a new clinic right now. I'm sure she'll be back with you soon. If you haven't heard back by next week, I'd suggest sending a reminder email. While things seem a little hectic right now in terms of hearing back, I know there's a huge ton of work always available.
Great post. Super. Thanks so much!
I couldn't have said it better myself, though I've been trying for days and obviously making more people mad than agreeable. I am just so passionate about this, and just am to the flipping out point at the complacency and reverse logic I see. I so want all newcomers to the field to have a long happy fulfilling and fruitful career to look forward to, not the scenario that it has turned into of late. 
Shapin is a SUPER company to work for
If anyone would like to email me for more infomation, please feel free to do so!  Shapin is the very best company I have ever worked for!
They were using ExText when I was there. I was one of the unlucky ones that was on super tough ESL
s
Just because people are super nice, doesn't SM
mean the company is so great. Everyone at Spheris is real nice too, but don't think you would like working there.
if you want to work for super below industry standard - go for it.
It's great money if you haven't ever had an MT job (EVER!)
Platform super easy to learn
I had heard horror stories about SoftScript before I accepted the job (realized you can't believe everything and took a chance). I gave them a shot and have been thrilled. The platform is super easy compared to some of the other Nationals I have worked for. Pay is a about 8 cpl, but that seems standard for Nationals. Tons of work.

I would recommend SoftScript to anyone and I have worked for the worst, MQ, Transcend, Medsribe, etc.
Same here...super-nice group of people (nm)
.
Great place. People are super to work sm
with and answer your questions, etc.  Pay well and always on time.  If I ever work at home again, I will go back there first.
The platform is super easy and user friendly. I have never had sm
any problems getting my lines...plus!
No complaints at all. Platform is super MT friendly. Great QA department.
Very happy at Medware.
TT has plenty of work. The platform is super easy to learn and
I'm not having any trouble at all making good line counts doing ESL discharge summaries. Super nice people as well.
It is a SUPER FINGER reference .. DANE COOK PEOPLE... good grief.
Amazing you wasted those brain cells analyzing what didn't need analyzed. TIME WELL SPENT! geesh.
Not familiar with actual company but familiar with platform some use and it is super-slick!

I saw this coming!!!

I saw this coming when they first started us on this new platform, and eventually, ALL the accounts will be editing.  These MTs really don't care because it is not happening to them right now!!  My opinion is that EVERYONE will eventually be editing and not typing and at the 40% lower rate per line.  When that happens, all of these Transcend cheerleaders will be just like me, sitting with their mouths hanging open in disbelief that it is happening to them.  I used to be one of those cheerleaders and now feel bad that the 2 people I referred to Transcend have now had to go get other jobs because of lack of work, timeouts, downtime, etc., etc.  Why would they want to pay 8 cents per line when they can pay for those same lines at 4.8 with editing.  OF COURSE, everyone possible will be editing, and it will not take long to do it either.  We had about a week's notice when we went to editing, which I felt was also inconsiderate, and they will do everyone else that way too--just watch and see what happens!!


Like I said before, TRANSCEND SUCKS!!


Ex-Transcend cheerleader!!!


Where do they keep coming up with
these numbers? I have been an MT for 15 years. I am 35, starting my MT career at 20! Do they know exactly how many American MTs there are, if so I would like that number. I have a hard time believing our average age comes in at 59!
I think that is coming up soon, at least by
the letter on the new MT/ME Rewards Plan.
!!!!
I know where you are coming from Glo
I applied at Spheris.  The lady called me, and then called back a few minutes later to find out why I left a certain position.  She was real shady sounding on the phone.  Then, she proceeds to tell me that they have no positions at the current time.  Really strange?  I usually just see the writing on the wall so to speak.  If they call me, I'll flat out refuse to work for them as they were very unprofessional in my book.  JMO!  And again, are still advertising like every day.  ????  I don't get it or maybe I do?!?! 
I just don't see where you are coming from....

EVERY email that I have sent, I have received a reply. 


And I think it is great that the QA person explains the blank because that is maybe why you had the blank in the first place - that maybe you did not understand the exact nature of the word and could not find it anywhere.  I would rather have more information versus not enough information. 


There are a lot of difficult dictators but if everyone did a few of them then the difficult dictator(s) could be shared and one person would not get bogged down with them.  That is what they have tried before - one person sent an email asking everyone to take ONE job of a particular dictator so it would not be all on one transcriptionist...Now come on, that is fair - ONE JOB for ONE BAD DICTATOR. I know it cannot be like that all of the time but that just shows that they do try.


I really have not had any of the problems you are talking about.  But I can only speak for what I have seen and from my own experience.


Their pay is ALWAYS correct and ALWAYS on-time.  And they do pay better than most places.  They have an A+ in my book!


I still believe the day is coming when MTs
nm
know where you both are coming from,
got laid off myself and I did resent them and MYSELF for all the times I never took off, short-changed my kids and events for them, stayed even off the clock a few times because no OT, while the same 3 people were always the ones not coming in for one reason for another. But you know what? I would probably do it again. To thine own self be true, is that how it goes? I have to live with myself and they are all on their own. Fortunately, I have just enough time to get to bed before I fall asleep without medication. Some people can't help it and have to take something, but that's a condition, not guilt, keeping them awake. This was not aimed at those people. Good luck to all of you.
Doing VR, know exactly where you are coming from
Others who talk against it, never tried it have no idea how it is as far as a piece of cake. I saw the other posting about when it gets so good to replace you BUT having worked on the same platform for several years now mine does not stay letter A perfect month after month, always a need for an MTer to come in and be there for reports that need to be cleaned up. I have said some platforms surely are better than others but if you have a bad 1, then you need to find a good platform. There is so much bad and forth on this subject, the ones hating, like I said, never done, bad platform or only see that the salary is dropping (for a short time as you and I know) but that is what is pushing these postings against. I was never totally against, like you up in age and glad that the hands/arms had not worn out as much as I worked. Glad you are liking.
That is too funny coming from you!
Darlin....I quit OSi a little over a month ago along with everyone else!
Would not surprise me in the least. Something is coming not sure what.
:
You keep coming back though right?
Obviously, you love it.
knew that was coming!
Three things are for sure - death, taxes, and that you'll start your vendetta the minute anyone mentions OSI!
Yes, and new accounts coming on...sm
constantly. 
Of course it is coming from your check, just like an
employee, but they are submitting the $$ to the IRS instead of you having to do quarterly filings.  
I was just coming to ask these same question.
I hope somebody here knows more info for us. 
We should have seen in coming in November
Remember when we partnered before and there was no work because another company did it all? And no notice, either.

I got the call, too but haven't gotten an e-mail yet about how to view this conference thing tomorrow.

One thing: We have some accounts that REQUIRE that the work by done by U.S. citizens and we be accountable under U.S. law/court system. How are they going to get around that? Some facilities absolutely refuse to off-shore. I myself refuse to go to a facility that off-shores and I ask who does the MT work before I make appointments. I don't know how an India-based company is going to be able to keep those accounts.



Hummm, nothing is coming up
In archives
I understand where she's coming from
and it's a big company too. I have put in a 2-week notice for many reasons. Maybe the OP used to work for my company and is just glad to be out of there.
Exactly. Why can't the masses see this coming? S/M
It's already started IMHO. Why the sudden panic to stimulate the economy. And that, my dear friends, is the most idiotic thing they've come up with yet. It's sort of trying to borrow oneself out of debt. Giving rebates with borrowed money!!! Totally absurd. You can bet payday will come.
Are all of the accounts coming from MQ ?
x
Not that bad at all. Coming onshore
Accounts are onshore now with American TLs and MTs. No Indian MTs/QCs at all. This has occurred over the past month. And no I'm not management! Give it a try. I'm happy!
Diskriter coming along
I am currently at Diskriter, I like the AME/Transriter platform now that they have upgraded - that is right UPGRADED, and they are really trying to focus on working for all the MTs to keep it friendly.  The VR platform is far better than Dictaphone/Extext platform - but they still have some work to do on that (whose platform does not?).  I think all VR is crap personally, after 24 years of typing - just let me TYPE!  I have read a few threads involving the worfklow and that is an issue there right now, but I think once the system is fully functional and all the accounts are brought on board it will level out.  I am willing to put in a little time for people that appreciate it, unlike where I worked before OSi...enough said.
