Okay.. just give us a clue..does it start with a T... because I had a similar thing happened to me a
them...I got the dumbest excuse ever.. I dont trust that.
several categories
In the category of brooders, I agree - also the dude who used to be on ER - Eric Lasalle. Other brooder runner ups - Sean Penn, DMX, (yeah - WHAT) 50 cent, dude from 90210.
Different categories with IRS

In about 1997, the IRS began pushing the use of SE (statutory employee) for MTs.  If you are an MT with a long-term arrangement to provide services to an MTSO, this is the classification that is appropriate, regardless of full or part time.  You can be an IC and SE at the same time without one affecting the other.


I was an IC, SE and employee in 1998.  My return was audited. I had a contract for each instance that spelled out my relationship with each.  THAT is what saved me and the SE company from having to deal with an IRS mess. 


MT has become less of a long-term arrangement these days with heavy turnover.  People take jobs - or jobs change, i.e., going to VR - and realize they are not making even minimum wage and leave.  Companies don't want to be in a position of either guaranteeing (sp) work or a minimum per hour wage, so they offer IC to protect themselves.  You can ask about moving to SE status after a trial period.  Some of the smaller services may accommodate this; others won't. 


Whatever happens with the status of the job, DO protect yourself with a contract because the IRS pendulum is swinging back in the direction of reclassifying MTs as employees and moving away from the use of SE.


Sorry that is cant get in. All the categories have disappeared for me.

confused about company categories....
I know what a large national is, I know what an MTSO is, but I don't understand what a 'small national' is. Is this the same as an MTSO??

I haven't been in the biz an awfully long time, but from what I've been able to gather, an MTSO/small national is the way to go.

Happy 2006!
There are a lot of categories you probably aren't thinking about
All of the stuff posted in below of course but your spell checker, computer depreciation, misc office supplies like pens, paper, etc. I deduct individual business phone calls (cell and home phone), part of my antiivirus software costs, etc. If you use it for work chances are at least a portion of it is deductible.
I think I participated in that; certainly fit in the highest %tile in just about all categories.

Same here! Love it. No bells or whistles or categories. Easy! nm

Clue to you
Get a clue, get educated.........9/1I HAD NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO WITH IRAQ OR SADDAM..Where is Bin Laden??  Where are the masterminds of 9/11??  Nothing to do with 9/11..If you believe that, oh geez..read a newspaper or two..
I have no clue
??
Oh, we have a clue!
We have a clue that you are in management at an MTSO. Naturally, you would not want us complaining about low wages, now, would you - more money in your pocket.

Go back in your closet now. No one wants to hear from you!
Or else because they don't have a clue

Please go away until you get a clue and can
carry on an intelligent discussion.
you know I don't have a clue who sm
the heck you are and I really don't care. But, I never have had a post that I said anyone was a plant, management, lying or anything else.

I don't know even how this got started except there is another poster obviously that I am mistaken for. I don't care if you do VR, MT, scrub toilets or are a Walmart greeter. Grow up, get a life adn stop ripping me apart. You have me mistaken for somebody else. I am a MT (as you supposedly are) who just found a decent job and wanted to let folks know there are jobs out there and I get ripped apart by somebody telling me things I said that I did not say and has me mixed up with somebody else.

Good God grow the heck UP!!!!!!!!!!! If I were management I wouldn't hire someone with your attitude. GEEZE!
Do you have any clue what they are up to. It is obvious they are up to something.

I just hope everyone is calling Corporate.


I haven't a clue...
Maybe Casper the Friendly Ghost?
Really have no clue, but did you install the new RAM - sm
in the first slot? The larger memory strip has to go in the first slot, and the smaller RAM/DIMM whatever you have goes in the next slot. Is that possibly the problem?
No clue really but perhaps on the boards...sm
Equipment or Technical boards here at mtstars might help you better than I cannot.  I only know that one of my monitors has a very small screen and I cannot see a lot of what I'm supposed to see on that screen.
I haven't a clue
nm
So give us a clue HE-man!!
X
yup, but this doc wouldn't have a clue about that...sm
I'm almost positive he's using a VR software or something else. 
JLG RULES to those who have a clue

I am amazed and not surprised at how many children we have out here who apparently have not cut it with JLG and now have to bad mouth one of the finest companies there is and I know it! I have had many of my former MT's come to work here -they are making wonderful pay....but perhaps that is because they work?! They aren't sitting on the message boards crying the blues because they didn't listen, couldn't follow simple rules, and probably lied about the length of experience as an MT so they were FIRED!! JLG is one of the finest companies there is. The work flow staff and owners are the finest I have every had the pleasure to work for and I have been in this industry as a CMT and now QA for 22 years.   They pay ridiculously HIGH and you have to have knowledge to make it with them. Stop saying things that aren't true THEY DO NOT run CREDIT CHECKS> FOOL THAT YOU ARE... if you cant cut it as an MT why understand this...JLG asks for a social security# simply to make sure that you belong to that SS# and that you are not an illegal alien working with someone else's SS#, also to ensure that you do not have any delinquent tax liens with IRS because by law they can not employ you as an IC and not pay uncle Sam because if you have not paid taxes before , well that says it all right there. So don't run your toilet when you don't know what you are talking about. What would they care about your light bill, phone bill or any bills on your credit report. That makes no sense but neither does anything negative I have read about JLG. So do yourself a favor, stop trying to work for a top notch company until you build your resume. Perhaps go to an accredited school and learn to be an MT and stop taking mail order courses that get you know where but broke and without a job to pay the student loan back. Anyone wanting to be an MT at JLG should be honored to get hired and also we have more work and more accounts and more new accounts that we can not staff fast enough to keep up. Perhaps you didn't have enough work because you are one lousy MT because that's usually why you don't get work. I wish everyone working here now could here this nonsense but we are too busy to do what you do all day which is make up fairy tales. Apply with JLG. Do yourself the favor don't listen to people that are just disgruntled because they couldn't make the grade. And contrary to MS Opinion....QA knows about everything at JLG. We have to baby sit and grade all the work that MT's do incase they fib about the experience and we have to make sure it is all spell checked and dot their Is and Cross their T's. So QA knows everything from how much work is waiting to be typed, how much has come in and how much will be there the next week. Get off it and get real. Perhaps McDonald's is hiring. Because I make so much money I am buying myself a new 40 thousand dollar vehicle in 3 weeks and let me say this I made just that in the past 6 months. Sorry it didn't work out Now get over it and if you don't like other peoples opinions STAY OFF THE BOARD Back to  my life. Sorry you couldn't have one too.  By the way I wont be back I do have work to do! I just had to come see for myself at the clown like stuff written about our wonderful company.


 


I think you have no clue, here. Just what are you talking about? LOL
Poster was talking about the context of that sentence made by the person complaining about how others speak and then goes on to say "People have a poor grasp on the English language *anymore*" which is totally poor English. I think it's a riot!

I also hate when people say she use to instead of she *used* to. Ugh, we could go on here all day. lol

Spoken like someone who has no clue.

I have a bright idea for you. Go find your own accounts and charge them the rate that you feel you're so worthy of. I'm sure that if you get some takers at the rate you're asking, you won't have to worry about having too much work to do yourself so you won't have to worry about paying another MT the rate you're asking for.


darn right, have no clue!

"Have no clue" is an understatement!!!  Not being nasty here -- just stating a fact.  I know an MTSO who says when she tries to call physician's offices and gets the manager and explains that she is calling requesting to speak with the person in charge about doing their transcription for them, most often the answer she gets is "What's transcription?"  She swears they hire personnel based on a certain part of their anatomy and it's not the brain.


Then, if she's lucky enough to get through to the physician in charge, he is not willing to pay a decent fee.  She has apologized to me for not paying me more but told me that on some accounts they are only making 1/4 of a cent after expenses (including MT pay).  She said they have to bid low to get the work.  She hates marketing now. 


You obviously have no clue about correct use

You really don’t have a clue and would be in over your head.

From what you have "pixked" up...you still don't have a clue.

GEt a clue I was being sarcastic, duh

And of course, I'm the "little" Hispanic girl - dumbass!


Some people just don't have a clue
I can't believe you would name an account publicly. Some of us still work there and like these accounts.

We don't want to lose our accounts.

Unbelievable!
You don’t have a clue as to what this job entails
Your last sentence is just loco. You don’t know how this works, probably have not had 1 bit of work relating to this field and I agree with the 30_ and fed up. This is not a job for women who "just want to work from home to be with their children", crappy reason to do anyway. Your last sentence really says it all, better than relying on the government to do this job. You have to first know what you are doing which you don’t and secondly yes transcriptionists are held to a high standard (don’t think you have that to start) and no one cleans up your work but looks like you would be a great place to start if they did.
Can you give us a clue? Initials?

Since that would be unique to each company, I don't know how anybody here would even have a clue.

Hey, RadGuy -- Could you clue me in on which Arby's it was so I will know not to go there, they h
enough trouble getting my order right as it is!  TIA.
I have no clue why my reply to you was deleted!
It was a friendly, I'm sorry you're going thru this, been there, done that post! This is beyond silly! Anyhooo, guess its not worth answering posts if they just get edited for no reason at all!  Maybe lots of others have answered you as well, but they disappear in a flash!
You have no clue who I am so you don't know my level of peacefulness.
Actually, I am a kind person and considered to be "peaceful".  Lennon was "in his time" back when drugs was the thing to do along with peace, love, no war, but it was ok to do every drug imagineable, participate in orgies, the sit ins, not wearing bras.  It was a change in time that young people of the time were going through.  It doesn't mean John Lennon was some sort of hero.
Because at age 18 I, like most people, had no clue what was the right thing to do
But I'm fixing that now. Better late than never.

Working towards master's degree, switched careers completely.
yes, Snow Bunny, I don't have a clue what
your point is.  Explain, please.
Wow, she doesn't have a CLUE what she's talking about.
The hospital I worked for provided plenty of feedback. We also had to perform at 98% or better on QA. They were always looking for new technology to help cut costs and increase production. Sure, we could have a tech guy come to our house to fix our computer, but none of us needed one.
Get a clue, jabu. The company name is in the

I doubt the doctor has a clue about sm
any of that stuff. It would be the person running the office, their tech support etc. etc, but never the doctor. But again if you lived in this country, you would know that.
Where do I get the trial version of Shorthand? Sorry! No clue!!! Thanks for
the help!
Nah.. again I say.. give up pretending to be a psychic. You do not have a clue.

Job search help needed/advice/clue me in!!!

I guess I've been lucky to work with some wonderful MTSO's in the past! I've been an MT for over 10 years, but am just now looking for new work and have not worked for big, national companies before. I posted the other day about testing with companies, and I did and got 2 job offers. Yea!...you'd think.  Ha! 


I thought I'd get offered a decent wage, for starters. Two companies offered me positions, one at 6.25 cpl and the other at 5.5 cpl. Both of them say they go up, the more lines you have. Unless they go up...like double...forget it! At least one of them additionally charges a fee if I don't make my anticipated line count during the payperiod (and I had to make my schedule a month in advance), as well as a bi-weekly service fee for using their software.


Is this what I have to look forward to????? I guess my head has been in the sand, because I had no idea this is what people's contracts had in them. No wonder no one is making any money. Honestly, is this standard? Sorry if I seem so out of touch.


I assume it's Dutch (like his wife) but have no clue how to pronounce it. nm

Turn off the soap opera network and get a clue, drama queen!
That's what a lot of you around here do, find drama in otherwise innocent posts.  Get a life, get back to work.  And above all else, you call me a hypocrite and yet you sit in judgment of me.
From the other side
I know how you feel but one day before you know it there'll be no slamming doors, no one talking (or fighting) outside your office door, no one interrupting you, the dishes will be done and the house neat with nothing else needing to be done.  Send 'em over to me for a couple of hours.  I used to couldn't wait for some peace and quiet but it really isn't all that great after all.  Sign me....missing the young 'uns.
On my Mom's side
a cousin actually got a call from the Jerry Springer show wanting her, her husband, and live in YOUNG boyfriend to be on a show. NO KIDDING!!!!



Think of yourself on the other side.....sm
Then, make your decision.

Send the cards, by all means, but don't court work with it. Do the soliciting after the holidays, as you had originally planned. I betcha some of those folks will remember the wonderful holiday card from you!

I think you already know this or you would not have put up this post asking advice. Right?

Enjoy the holidays, wish others to do the same, and then attack! LOL
On the plus side...
I think Paula's hair is better than ever...thank goodness. That's all I have to say about her. ;o)
