She didn't know what she wanted, would gripe about everything under the sun, and would send 20 emails a day asking the status of work that wasn't due until the next day.  They were usually in all caps in a screaming tone. 

Pay was .06 per actual line which was ok I guess, but definitely not worth the hassle of her constant emails and nitpicking.  Hope this helps you some.

I work from home for a hospital.  I have also worked for regionals/nationals, clinics, pathology, etc.  I work for a hospital that has the JCAHO accreditation which means that every department is compliant, not just clinical.  I'm proud of the work we do in my transcription department.  We have VR and it's rarely on because we have a top team of professional MTs.  We all make a minimum of $20 an hour and most of us make more because, yes, we get paid per line.  We are a 400-bed facility and only require a team of 16 transcriptions (about 50/50 FT and PT MTs).  I believe this is because we have standards that we know we can refer to if there is ever a question.  It also makes it so we don't have many questions.  We type it the AAMT way.  It creates a professional and consistent-looking document.  No room for anyone to question:  Doctor, MT, manager, or even the Q&A department. No one.  Period. 

 

AAMT integrates JCAHO standards, as well.  AAMT isn't some persnickety transcriptionist who wants to have a say in what we all type.  The effort is there in order to create a standardization in the work we do.  I still believe we do an important job, regardless of the jobs that are sent off-shore.  Until they're all gone, this is how I make my living and I want to try to be as professional as possible.  I'll bring AAMT guidelines to whatever job I hold and I doubt very much that my work will be called into question.

Please, do not let those untrue postings affect your decision to work for The MT Group.

This is Melanie (the one who posted the job for The MT Group).  The MT Group was started in 1996, and we have NEVER EVER EVER EVER bounced someone's check nor shorted the check.  We ask all of our ICs to turn in their line counts at the end of every pay period.  If they do not match what we have, I contact the IC so that we can compare.  Very rarely do I need to go that far.  When I put in our job post that we are honest and fair, I was being honest.  I was very discouraged to read that posting. 

As far as pickiness about spaces.  It is common knowledge that there should be two spaces after a period, and yes, we do expect that.  I can't help but think that the person who posted that reply just had a big problem with using two spaces.

And moodiness??  Who was moody?  The transcriptionist?
