1000 x 0.05 = $50.00 - doing the math, not liking the outcome


Posted: May 15, 2014

Handling 1000 pages a day in any capacity, even if just sitting and flipping them over one at a time, warrants better pay than a measly $50.00. They must think we are desperate. This is about a job posted on the Other Site. I am stunned that we are going backwards in pay incrementally. Of course, they will get someone to do it.

I'm curious about the job you're describing. Is this a records review job? What exactly does it entail? And what is the "other site?"

I absolutely agree with you about our going backward in pay, and it's a terrible shame! All of our collective education and experience seems to count for nothing anymore.

the site rhymes with

MT Bobs

Aren't supposed to name the site on this site. Competition, I reckon.

Thanks! - CaliMT

I thought that might be the one. I didn't realize that we weren't supposed to name other sites. If that's the rule, no problem. But was it a record review job? I can't think of anything else that would require handling 1000 pages a day. How on earth would they pay by the page for that?

1:1000 Epinephrine?

I have a report here on an excision of a mass on the cheek.  This dictator talks very fast, but in the anesthesia section, it sounds like he is saying Xylocaine with 1:1000 epinephrine.  I have never heard anything below 1:100,000 before, but it sure sounds like 1000.  Is it used like that, or is he just talking too fast?  Thank you! ...

I know this can vary of course.  I have built up my shorthand to over 12,000 entries.  I really think I have my speed up considerably but have been paid by the hour working on straigt typing with tapes for some time now.  We are going to VR and may need to pick up a second job to take up the slack in work.  Can someone give me some idea of what to expect in time to take on another PT or FT position (depending on the amount of downtime I will have soon)? ...
