Call the money order company to see
if you can stop pay or trace the money order. It supposedly can be done now. Then send her a certified letter demanding the equipment or a refund, or you'll sue in small claims court.
Call DELL; they will personalize for alot less money
Call the labor board. They will get you your money as long as
you have documentation to prove you are owed the $$.
I had a call-in sytem that used sound files (wasted money)
I spent several hundred dollars trying to clean up voice files, both with an expensive external sound card system and very expensive computer speakers with a pod for a headset. I finally ditched the system and purchased a call-in system accessed by a C-phone. Be weery of those sound files. The clear ones do go overseas while us Americans get the worst of the batch.
Good money? Can we ask how much is considered GOOD in your books????
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Very good...very good answer. Right on the money! (nm)

Good call!
and gross.
looking for GOOD money
Are there ANY companies out there who will pay you what you are worth? I've got 5+ years experience and only getting 7 to 8.5 cpl offered. It's not a question of whether or not my work is good or bad, it is definitely good. I have read where so many of you are making much more money than that and I would like to know WHERE to find such a job? I would even be happy getting paid by the hour at this point (if it's enough that is). I simply want paid what I'm worth for all my hard work! TIA!!!
Good money
You say you have 5+ years experience-- how would you like to be making that after 25+ years???? I would like to know where to find such a job as well.
good money
Well, I worked 60-70 hrs per week last year, with 2 weeks vacay and made 113,000+ - in my eyes radiology IS the best paying.
I am a good MT and I never get a call thanking me for anything from MQ.

Call me a good-for-nothing job hopper
If I'm constantly running out of work, the recruiter over promised, etc. etc., I'm going to hop and if the next one does the same thing, I'm going to hop again and again until someone gets it right.
I think people who make demeaning statements about others without walking a mile or so in their shoes are i-g-n-o-r-a-n-t.
Good for you. That's really all we can do is call their attention to it.

That's definitely good money. I wish I could make that much.
I'm making about $1,400 a MONTH working 25-30 hours per week. ESLs, run out of work often, lousy platform. What's the point any more? I definitely need to pick up some local accounts and never work for another national.
Oh man....that is NOT good...how do you make any money?
Four. And they make very good money.
But I get your point. But you asked!
Depends on what you think good money is too : )

I think good money is 50K a year.

Oh, but I make really good money
so I did not understand where this was coming from. You see, I have no children at home, only 2 of us, no bills, I only work part because that is all I want but still bring home about $1500.00 every 2 weeks, so no need to feel sorry. I said I type fast.
Any money is good today sm
Take what you can to make ends meet and then switch when a better offer comes along, just don't burn bridges. Watch Jim Cramer, he says work at the Dollar Store if you can. I believe this will pass myself, just hang in there!
I used to make really good money.
Anywhere from $28-50 per hour. Same few dictators, lots of templates and Expander usage, pay averaged out to be $.12 per line. I only wanted to work part-time, but the company would have worked me full-time. One particular doctor was so easy, I could do 400+ lph for him. He only had maybe an hour of work per day. Voice recognition has my job now. I've been unemployed for the past six months. But 537 lph consistently? I don't know about that. It would have to be the same pool of dictators and the MT's expander stats would have to be HIGH!
I would please like to know how you make good money at it.
Would you care to share your cents-per-line and lines-per-hour with us? Roughly?
It would help alleviate the anxiety about it for some of us if we can hear from the horse's mouth (no insult intended) how this can be a good living for us. Especially when there are so many things to slow us down like ESLs and poor dictators and bad sound.
Thank you.
Call Jacy. She gives good advice,

Call MyDocsOnline, very good support, and ask

K-Mart managers...Good money! Yes!
You have GOT to be kidding. I don't know about TODAY'S wages, but K-Mart, (or Safeway or Target, etc)managers USED to make GREAT money!! Yes, they DO prefer a 4-year business degree. These are/were not low paying jobs. Minus the business degree, one would have to play "work up" and it could take 20+ years to get up that high. The pay was about 4-6 times higher than a beginning school teacher last I knew.
Professional escort - money is good.
Is it possible to make good money working for someone else?
.
I think that is all attitude. I make very good money at MT.
35,500 a year is darn good money to me!!!!!

I knew they made good money...
I used to work for Kaiser in California. I really wanted to get on with the transcription department but there was NEVER an opening. I really miss working for Kaiser. I have not been able to find a hospital like that since I left. I now live in GA. The Kaiser here is not the same -- much smaller operation here. But I knew it, I knew it!

I can make good money without overtime
I posted below but when I saw your post and it said crap- I type mostly VR and I work 8 hour days 4 days a week. I make at least $160.00 per day- add that up if I worked full 40 hour week or lordy if I worked overtime like years gone by. I get paid no more because of my years of doing this- work for national- the pay is low but I am fast. I just wanted to make about the same as when I worked in the office and set my goals accordingly.
I do VR, love it, make good money at it
and I have no idea why people who do not do, have not done, don’t plan on doing talk so much against it.
Money, money, money, mmonnneyyy. Singing the Apprentice song.
:+
Depending on who you work for.... you can make good money
I usually average between $15-25 an hour doing VR. That is enough for me. I think it helps if you have companies that pay for footers, headers, spaces etc.. Good luck.
Good point. I've never done the Cobra because it was outrageous. I also did what you call a "b
overlapsed. I liked a cheap individual policy up ($7500 deducticle) before I lost my coverage..and kept the cheap policy until the new kicked in..
Well, good morning "Frank" are you counting your piles of money?
penned in at the moment because of unethical practices of MQ,
but in essence you have "given" us to your competition. Your competition may have
been weakened by your siphoning off of MTs to work for MQ for a while
mostly because you became a monopoly, but with all the manpower
going to your broken competition and hospitals who are tired of being
manipulated with smoke and mirror business, see how good your name smells in
the medical field in about a year.
The resumes are flying like kites out there right now, can you see them?
Those are not clouds in your coffee those are your livelihood in the medical
field going up up up and away.
Enjoy your card game now. I think the slight of hand way of doing business
has just about seen its day.
Any company that cannot ever give how a line is counted and show
the method an MT is paid - so that the MT can double check her "billing" is
not an ethical institution. We don't work for the suprise we get in the bank at the end of 2 weeks of chasing work around your company, we work for the
money. We are business people just like you. You, MQ, would not do business without a clear contract and yet you have expected MTs to
work on a line count that is by YOUR FORMULA which you can't share! How insane is that?
I have been around awhile, and will last making good money as long as this field does.

I make very good money at home with a small MTSO
Can you make good money with radiology? I'm thinking of switching
nm
bless your heart for thinking $10-12/hour is good money - nm

They make darn good money at most large grocery stores
No, I don't tip them. If I thought they weren't getting paid hourly, then I might. I might tip someone who gave extra great service, like coming home and carrying them in the house for me, (j/k!) but most places where you are expected to tip, people just expect the tip and take it for granted anymore and don't always treat you well enough to deserve one!
My dad owns a dental lab - GOOD money, steady work, very tedious though

Well actually it is a good business practice as far as saving money for share holders is concerned.
Why would a company pay for individuals who need health insurance, benefits, minimum wage, etc when they can ship work out of the country for half as much as is necessary to pay US worker. Not that it's a good thing for us, just that this is the way it is.
How about your local community college and save a heap of money & get just as good of an education?
I love procedures, colonscopes, EGDs, cardiac caths - this stuff earns me the good money, ESL or no!
Good. Why dont you send some our way. What office do you work for so I can call and get your work.

Also LOVE LOVE ESCRIPTION and make good money but...
Can I ask how you sit there for 8 hours. Lately, I'm having a motivation problem. When I focus, I can rack up the lines, but lately, I get so easily distracted. My mind wanders and I struggle to get my lines. Any tips on how you stay productive who do you work for?? I work for Transcend.
got the "phone call" -- get this, MQ has hired a bunch of telemarketers to call all of us to
we received our "incentive packet." They don't even have the wherewithall to contact us personally. These are temp-agency hired telemarketers sitting around a boiler room making sure we're reading our mail.... told him it don't pertain to me because I've been demoted from FT to SE.... He said, "yes, the letter is vague, but it does pertain to FT as well as SE...." yeah right, we'll see.
Make money? I'm not making any money because of my decision. You read my reasoning
You can agree with me or not, but don't make false assumptions please.
You're working to make money, not to spend money.
These people should be ashamed of themselves taking advantage of people this way!
I also blew some money signing up with Quixtar... The only way to make any money is to bug everyone
you know into signing up. I felt like a snake oil huckster. I hated it. I was flushing money down the toilet from the moment I handed over my money.
RUN, do not walk away! I do an entirely different side business now that I really love (in addition to my MTing, which I also love!) Find something you're good at and that you truly love doing. Then make a business out of it. That's the best way to have a side business. Selling discount toilet paper through Amway/Quixtar? Not so much.
