NEVER any harm in asking

I don't see the harm
I can somewhat understand in an office where you do have to brush shoulders with your co-workers. But here, in the anonymity of this board, I don't understand the harm in answering the question. You can put whatever name you want in that Name: section at the top of a reply, and calling yourself Gauche MT and responding that you make XX cents per line, average XX lines per hour, and end up making $XX for an 8 hour day is not identifiable. Everyone seems to encourage transcriptionists to stand/band together against offshoring and money hungry corporate types.

Frankly, I question the veracity of some of the tales of wages on here, anyway. Having done this for many years, I'm just a little skeptical of those people who claim to be transcribing for an acute care hospital and doing 500 lines/hour for 7 hours a day but then slow down to about 475 l/h, making 12 cents/line plus incentives, and chalks those kind of numbers up to a good Expander program.

Guess I'm just a cynic.
No harm in asking. If you've been there a while, they might do it.

What harm is it to the company for another trans to know
what accounts they have? I know what account a lot of trans work on for other companies! I am another one who doesn't see what everyone is fussing about. It's not like hearing that hospital's name is going to send another transcription company after their work - everyone already knows that they have to have transcription so it's no big secret that SOMEONE is doing it???
Well, work is super busy..so not much time..no harm no foul..sm
Working 14 hours a day puts a cramp into watching the news lately, so have not seen much, nor had much time to really think about it. Did the donation through both of our work, caught a bit of news...but I cannot help anymore by sitting in front of a television, so a bit slow on the news intake here.
IF it is secondary income, where is the harm? As long as you work around your kids (at night, naps)
a big plus when you are around kids all day and bring in a little cash to help out the household.
What is good to clean an LCD computer screen that wont harm the black plastic monitor itself.

steal the dog
he is being mistreated - anybody who keeps a dog tied up all the time w/no attention is a jerk who shouldn't even have a pet.

steal the dog and take him to the local breed rescue org. He's going to make someone who loves him a wonderful pet.

You don't have the RIGHT to STEAL someone's dog!
Call the dogcatcher or animal control.

You have NO right to STEAL anyone's pet.

I've read your outrageous posts on this board before. You're really some piece of work.
Did she steal them or just buy them and have no place

nobody can steal a husband

She did not steal it. The doc stole her.

I wish a doc would steal me and pay me by the hour ;-P

I only make 9 cpl. If i could steal her accounts for
and she'd have to go out and pound the pavement looking for more work. What she'd find would be a whole different world than the one inside her little plastic bubble.
No, actually every time you steal music, you are stealing from SM
many people, but you already know that.
Beg, borrow, or steal not to have that payment be late!!!
It does not matter how little you have left on it.  Late is late in my opinion.
all your information needed to steal your identity - sm
name, address, telephone and past employers etc. Now in Pakistan
Wait till they steal our information, sell it and
our identities are stolen. This is not right because if any of us had a choice, we would not want our records of any kind going overseas to be managed or transcribed, etc. I think this violates our privacy big time and should be actively brought to the attention of all the stupid government officials. Wait till they have someone steal their identity or money or whatever. Think they will rethink this. Shame something has to happen to the rich folks before anyone will do anything about tightening things and even if they did enact laws, would these overseas companies abide by them. NOT.

I just think when the whole population ends up on the street, they won't be able to hide it then. I feel sorry for the generations to come. How would they save anything for retirement. I can't even do that.
Regardless of being employee or IC, is wrong to steal account from your MTSO
and it's also irrelevant whether it's a crappy MTSO or not.
Also irritating illegal alien ESLs that steal US

They steal your money and then send you a check and you are thrilled. Give me a break.

Charge him an hourly rate. The current rate is
between $15-21/hr. according to your location. If he had to use an independent secretarial service, he would be charged much more. You can look in the Yellow Pages in your area under Secretarial Service and ask them what they charge, then charge accordingly knowing you can back it up.
So why are you telling me this?
I already said mine are grown.  And don't be so quick to judge others.  You have no idea what circumstances others are in.  Judge not, lest you be judged.
I'm telling ya!
Gotta agree, but I worried that messing with the structure of his mouth might take away from that voice. It gives me goosebumps too!
You could certainly help us out by telling us what the...sm

platform was that turned out to be a low-line maker.....


And tell us the one that has been good too!!!


Thanks!


Thanks for telling me this!

I now have been contacted by four others who went through the same thing.  This will really help if they don't respond to the complaints I filed.  Thanks for taking the time to tell me.


Dianne


So what you are telling me is...
I should just go ahead and apply at places states I have two years experience and test for them.  Then, I can get experience without any? Kinda?
The OP WAS telling it like it is.......nm

Keep telling it, maybe they will sm
listen to you. They are not listening to me! You said it exactly as it is. This is not a "school" career. It is by learning. Maybe the school gets you started, but it still takes years of learning.

I do feel sorry for the folks who went to these schools thinking that was all they needed because they really got taken advantage of. I don't know if any hospitals these days train folks or not. My opinion is if you have been in school then you need to go work in a hospital/medical center/teaching facility for several years before EVER trying to coming home and do this. you just cannot make any money at this working on production coming out of school. There is no way. Let me rephrase that, maybe you can but on a limited basis with an easy account, not a lot of foreign dictators, one or two work types etc. But, in order to do everything it takes YEARS!
Uh, yea? Do people really think it's going to go away? I'm telling you...
Those who protest our efforts to defeat terrorism, and those who hate George Bush more than they hate those who want to kill us, really need to wake up.  These people have the ONE thing that we DON'T have...... Patience.  So many people would like to think that 9/11 is a thing of the past and that if we just mind our own business, this will all go away.  They will out wait us, because they know that we have no patience, and they will strike again.  If we don't remain on the offense, no matter how unpopular it make be among the "kum-ba-ya" crowd, we will eventually perish.  Giving "peace a chance" will be the end of us.  These people don't operate as we do, and we better realize that right now before it's too late.
Do you mind telling us
who you work for now?
My DH was telling me McDonalds was going to do this too,
but inside the US...not India. I think we should boycott the drive throughs that don't use in-house workers. Take the time to walk inside and place your order with a real person and make it a point to say so. Of course, the only way it will make a real statement is if EVERYONE does it, so what's the chance of that. So we'll watch our MINIMUM WAGE jobs now just creep away as if nothing is wrong, right!
Would you mind telling me..sm
Did it take you long to learn to use it and where you purchased it? I have only found it for about 189.00 and was hoping to find somewhere that sold it a little cheaper. Thanks in advance.
Please consider telling us what company
Please.
I was just telling my DH what a cute name that is!

I just got through telling someone yesterday
what I do and they said what I have heard umpteem times before: "Hey, I can do that, too." ARGH!
Just telling it as I see it after all these years
in the business, know what I am talking about. I was told by a manager in the early 90s I would not see voice recognition in my lifetime. Well, guess what folks, it is here and automation is taking over a lot. I am thankful for the money I made in the past in order to raise a family and it was excellent money BUT I am right on the money as far as what I have said, just type faster because I do not see this as a profitable job as it once was. Some agree and some won't but the business is down the drain for MTs these days. In the 80s I worked outside my regular 40 hr week and charged $20 an hour - wonder how many places pay that now?? You are lucky if you have any.
Do you mind telling me how to do that? sm
This Vista experience has already given me a headache.......any help much, much appreciated. Thanks.
Everyone is telling her she has no choice
because if her employer says "jump", she should say "how high". What was she supposed to do when they said work from home, say "No". She was just criticized on an earlier post for standing up for herself and telling her employer no. There are many on this site that have to be "right" about everything. Contradiction is not "right".
If she was a recruiter, she would be telling--sm
where she works and plastering the name everywhere. Obviously she has not done that.

There are too many other *unhappy* ones trying to jump on her bandwagon. I wouldn't tell anyone else either, if I were her. I wish her all the best.
I'm educated, too, but you don't see me telling
medical providers what they should or shouldn't say in their reports. You knew this would blow up when you posted it, so don't play all innocent victim here. What does using one word have to do with the patient's privacy? It certainly didn't stop YOU from posting it on the Internet!
Right, Mary...Keep telling yourself that
.
That's what management is telling us. sm
It seems if someone can edit 1000 lines an hour you wouldn't need many people to cover an account and/or you would always be running out of work.
The above poster was telling it like it is
I was making big bucks back in the 80s and outsourced, went to another place making 20 thousand less, outsourced again and now work for a company making 20 thousand less, so add it up and that is 40 thousand less than the job in the 80s. VR has and is cutting what an MTer is making and from what I am reading on the boards, companies are going even lower than say 4 years ago in the salary. Maybe you have not done this job long enough to know how it has sunk but it has. I first trained on the job in 1973 and older MTers know this. It is not a good profession like it once was. I would never tell anyone to get into this job- only if you have other income and just want a full time job for part time pay. The job where I have worked for 19 years now has ESLs coming out the woodwork. We did not have this when I started there in 2000. It has changed and not for the better. You are sugarcoating something that sinks more and more each year. I raised a family on what I USED to make but now only work still because I do not have a family to raise- could not on the salary places pay. I would definitely tell anyone now thinking about this as a profession to think again. People say - I want to work at home so I can stay with my children- this alone has hurt this profession. We are thought as not having a real job to start with. People think you work from home- you got plenty of time. I hate it when I see- Oh, I get to stay home with my kids, not that they love the work - just to be at home. And people wonder why this job has sunk so low??
