Posted: Nov 20, 2009

Gpod luck to you - I hope your new job works out well! - Worker Bee

but it's like I don't know who to trust as far as work. Do I leave this ship to find out the next ship is sinking as well? I am also only radiology so I have already shot myself in the foot as it is. I have typed clinic reports but that was a while back. I knew I should've gone into billing.

I started out doing radiology & switched to - sm

acute care. It was hard at first, but well worth it as it gives you more options than only knowing one specialty. If you can find someone to let you switch, or even ask MQ if they can let you do some tier 1-2 acute care, I'd go for it.

MT Rules Changes Constantly
Aug 14, 2012

Does anybody else get emails of updated account specs or just in general about how this is now changing in the MT world and things such as hyphens are being phased out, among other changes to make the document "more readable".  I wonder...all these changes to how we are supposed to do our jobs, yet the only changes to what we are paid to do our job is a negative with pays dropping instead of going up.  I say it here and I can say it so many times, if somebody can sit in an office and c ...

To The MTSOs Constantly Hiring
Sep 24, 2012

So you want MTs to transcribe and edit VR who are skilled and experienced?  You want someone to be a mind-reader with your ESL dictators with no help from QA?  You want a reliable person who is going to work nights, weekends, and holidays for this pay?  Here's your problem keeping a good MT.  You pay 4 cpl for VR and 7 cpl to transcribe.  At the same time, you expect nothing from your clients.  They are allowed to tie up an MTs time with garbage to t ...

I took a job with another company thinking the grass was greener because the accounts were major and the work was there but the platform sucks and QA is picky as hell.  I am a good MT and been doing this years, years in QA with taking MT jobs now because the QA jobs are not there. This is my sole income and I can't survive.  I like the platform and steady checks at Keystrokes but the work just wasn't coming in, they wouldn't give me a secondary, and they continually hire ...
