Posted: Nov 3rd, 2009 - 10:33 am In Reply to: Pay .07 per line to start - MT2020

one of the big companies, at one time having over 7,000 transcriptionists working for them, just offered me 0.775 per line for typing acute care. I was polite, very nice, and told them "no thank you" but when I hung the phone up, I promptly told them to roast in hell. No one can make a living with these pay rates. Thank you MTSO for valuing me. Yeah, right!
