just curious, where do you live and how much is your house payment? Just kidding, I understand where you're coming from and agree with you.

I was not overly concerned myself, knowing deep down I can make it no matter what, especially since it's only myself I have to worry about, but whoa, my paycheck looks real sick suddenly and without a lot of warning. My mortgage is the only expense I have. Yeah, I'm seriously looking for another transcription job and really don't want to have to sell my house. The drop in pay has come suddenly and hits you very personally, and it's scary. I'd say THAT's what the griping is about, for me, anyway. I've never made a fortune transcribing and have never sought to, by the way. I'm frugal and careful. And I'm content with what I have. Yet I think it's normal and healthy to feel a little scared and it's okay to voice it.

Wellll, I don't know about MTSOs, but JLG -- Please SM
was helping with our hospital transcription.

We got paid $1.50 a minute if we did 2500 minutes a month ($1.75 a minute for all minutes over 2500).

JLG got $3.25 a minute. I saw the bill. I saw it with my own eyes. I nearly fell over. And to boot, it was horrible transcription, FULL of ridiculous errors, blanks. And we had to convert the text files. It was such a bunged up mess.

I lost all my trust at all in the hospital since they were paying us HALF of what they paid a service. I even contacted JLG to see if I could hired to work on MY hospital's account. They were going to pay me 7 cpl. What a joke.
