Much appreciated.
What is the purpose of such a vague post? - yanking our chains

Sounds like she's enjoying her cruel little game; all this begging her to tell must be really stroking her ego. She's only playing games or she would post the company name here, this IS an anonymous board and she's exposing her identity more to solicit/answer emails. Maybe she's just trying to get email addresses for another purpose, anyone consider that?
or maybe since she mentioned MQ, it is just to get people to quit there or something because she is - MT

who is disgruntled and is playing a game here to see if she can cause people to start talking about MQ losing business.
If they're hiring that many MTs, why not post the name of the company? - Sigh

This is obviously an MTSO or recruiter trying to find out if any of their currtent staff members are looking for a new job. Sneaky way to do it, but it is done more often than we know. Private e-mails are not good

Never thought about that. Too late, I fell for it and sure E-mailed the original poster. What a crappy way to do business, if that is indeed what happened.
I personally think the original poster got cold feet, thinking she had let too much information out and would be getting in hot water with the employer. Let's hope that is it and not a sneaky, snoopy MTSO trick.

Wow, there sure are a lot of conspiracy theorist's here. Do all posters get their kicked in the teeth for just trying to be helpful? There's no tricks, I just posted what I know about the company I work for. Some people emailed and I replied back to them. I didn't post the company because it would have looked like a job ad and I know that's not allowed here. One lady emailed said this site is venomous and to be careful. I guess she was right!
Will your company be posting here Mountain Lover? nm - Sunshine State MT

I'm not a theorist, just a transcriber looking for extra work.
Do you know when your company will be hiring for those positions?
Have a good day!

and they are cutting back their transcription departments in every region. Those employees who currently work for them will have to reapply as they are only keeping a certain number, and those they do not keep have been told Medquist will hire them. This will take effect by March of this year. This may be what the original poster is speaking of.

I'm thinking of sending my resume in to my current job, since they're hiring, for part-time work, since I'm sitting in front of my computer without work. I don't understand why this happens.
AND....to all those applying and getting hired at said company that keeps running out of work yet continues to hire, if I started a job and soon after ran out of work, that would be a huge red flag, and I think I would move on. ...

Hi,
I am new to the independent contractor thing, but shouldn't a company that has "hired" you as an independent contrator have your SS and a 1099 filled out by you? Just wondering as it seems to me this is necessary and since it is not being done, it makes me wonder about this company that much more, espcially since others have stated they have not been paid by this company. I guess if they are not planning on paying me they don't need a 1099 or SS# huh? ...
I am working at a company who observes certain holidays and we are required to work 4 of them, but this is the first company I have ever worked where I have to use my PTO on the holiday I am supposed to be off. Does your company do the same?

I found the below on the Company Board, and wondered if this could be true?
... Because you've already put in your 40 hours. It is illegal to change your timesheets so they don't have to pay overtime. If they can't give you sufficient work and keep hiring people who take your work away from you, find a company that will give you enough work. Save the emails and send them to the department of labor. ...
I just found out that even though I am doing the minimal required lines (120) I am not earning minimum wage and so even if I increase my lines I won't make any more money....Until I am typing over 160 lines. I am so angry. Now they are pressuring me to get higher lines so I can get out of them paying minimum wage. Which is insulting in itself. I am going to try to do it and then be a benefited employee. But I am just angry that 120 lines doesn' ...

I have been in this (medical transcription) boat for a long time. I have enjoyed it and been able to support myself. The last few years I have been stubbornly trying to hang on and "ride the waves", but have finally gotten it through my thick head that this is NOT working for me anymore! I hate what this industry has become!
Anyway, was looking on the website of our local technical college, and I think I have found something I may be interested in. Going to lo ...

Just for the heck of it, I went to the resume section of this board, and noticed there were quite a few MTs with "entry-level or less than 5 year's experience" wanting to be compensated 10-15 cpl -- I really seriously doubt that is going to happen, especially for a "newer" MT. I would suggest that if you are really serious about finding a job in MT, then revise your expected compensation rate to something a bit more realistic. ...
I also posted this on the main board, but here goes.

In my quest to improve SOMETHING, I stumbled across "job burnout." I think it is my problem and wanted to share.
"A strong signal that the burnout victim is sliding into an existential crisis of meaninglessness is evident when the person's statements about work are cloaked with a "so what?" or "why bother?" attitude. This is particularly striking among burnout victims who were once very enthusiastic and dedicated."
There is some very good information and might be helpful. At ...
I put my resume up on one of the resume sites and it had an area where you could find out what the local and national average salary of whatever career you are in. I typed in Medical Transcriptionist and my area. Locally, I should be making $38,600, and on a national level I should be making $39,000! Are any of us anywhere near those numbers??? I sure as heck am not! My mouth would be totally shut if I was making that. I know there are people who definitely ma ...
Time to do something, nja, not enough money, will not allow me to schedule so I can find part time employment to supplement. This company is abusing us without question.

I was looking for job openings at our local hospital and it's a long story but, found out that they have taken their transcription back in-house. Too many mistakes, not enough quality work, bad turn around times, et al. I am applying today, in person with them. I will offer to scrub their floors if that is what it takes to get back in to transcribing. I know folks who work there and they get a very fair wage, benefits and time off! ...
I agree with her 100%.
There will always be more of us, and we really could make a difference if we would just band together.

a nonMT job!! It is at WM. As much as I hated WM, if they give me a job and I can earn a straight, steady, hourly wage, I will be SO grateful. After being dumped on and treated like an idiot for 18+ years, I am almost out. I sure hope so. I need this so bad. ...
I saw this post while doing a little research into the field. The company is not named, but the location was given as Franklin Tennessee. Hmmm, I wonder what company that could be.
