Getting ripped off - Tara Posted: Oct 31st, 2009 - 11:39 am In Reply to: Serious as a heart attack - newvhmt
I have been doing MT work for the last 9 years and I have worked for many different companies. Nowhere have I ever heard that a line is 80 characters. The minimum should be 65 characters. Also, if you are using a platform that automatically counts your lines, I would copy and paste it into Microsoft word and find out how accurate the platform is counting your words/lines/characters. I think the place you are working for is taking advantage of a new MT and I would start looking elsewhere. I type pretty fast now, but when I started I was probably around 80 to 90 wpm and between all the companies I was working for, which was probably about 50 to 60 hours a week, I was easily making about $4000 a month. You need to start looking for a new job. If you want to send me your e-mail, I can give you a recommendation of some other companies that I know pay more than that and I have previously worked for. Some of them aren't medical, but they still pay decent and hours are pretty flexible.
