FYI - those who might apply with Teletrak - thatgirl


Posted: Jan 16, 2011

Just want to be sure my fellow MTs are well informed.  If you apply at Teletrak, be prepared to be offered 8 cpl for 65 VBC line - this amounts to approximately 30% reduction in pay with the negative spaces.  I used several old reports and figured line counts all ways and it was almost 30% less each time with VBC.  I was told by the recruiter, "You'll probably have to work a few extra hours a day to make what you're used to, but in order to keep the client in a long-term contract, this is what we have to do."  So, in order for that company to make enough money (which I'm sure is more than enough to feed several families), they are screwing the MT.  I declined and I'm sure from my quote above that they will know who I am, which is fine.  I said I would think about it and after figuring out the difference, do not even have the desire to tell them to shove it.   I have other useful things to do with my breath!  I'm urging my fellow MTs, if you are able and I know that is not always realistic, to not accept this from this company.  Their purpose is for the rich to get richer on the shoulders of MTs who cannot feed their families.  They should get the quality they are willing to pay for, very poor.  Teletrak should be ashamed, especially since they state in their ad, "Competitive line rate."  Competitive to who - a china sweat shop??  I needed to share that and if I offend anyone, that is not my intention.  You don't have to agree with me, but I'm entitled to share my feelings.  Besides, bottling up negative emotions makes me REALLY grumpy!  LOL! 

I'm surprised. I thought I had read somewhere that they pay 10 cpl. sm - LTMT

That obviously was misinformation. Good for you for turning it down. As long as people accept such pitifully low wages, our wages will continue to plummet.

thank you - theothergirl

I am still looking for a job in spite of being with a dead-end company. Thank you for the warning. I will definitely stay away from this company.

Line rate for Teletrak - MT Lady

They did pay .10 a line when I worked for them before. They no longer advertise .10 a line, they just say "competitive rate". They are not the only ones who have lowered the rate and adjusted the line count. You are right that if we accept these rates, they can keep going. It will take a so-called "strike" to make a decent rate happen.
Anyone game?

Teletrak - tired MT

I applaud you. This is exactly what needs to happen. We all need to say no. They won't keep their contract if they can't get transcriptionists to type for them. I am also glad you used their name. I just can't believe they can require us to work and do things for free. If the keyboard is not moving you are not making money. What about research we need to do? We do that on our own time and not get paid for any of it. Now they want spaces free too.

I don't find your email offensive in the least. I will definitely stay away from this company. Thanks for the info.
