I have been on QA now at this one company for 4 months! What is the longest some of you have been on QA? I wasn't kept on QA this long when I was a newbie! And all the other places I have worked, I was off of QA in a few days. What is a company's reasoning for keeping MTs on QA for such a long time? So, they don't have to pay you more.....can get rid of you faster if they need to....I just don't get it. ...
I got a report of close to 5000 today. Did not think I would ever get it done. I wonder if the receiving doctor bothers to read through all the information?

Hmmmm:
Freelancers have long been the envy of cubicle-trapped office workers. From the flexible hours to escaping mundane office politics, there's a lot to love about operating solo.
Yet, one major downfall that almost every freelancer experiences is unpaid invoices. The fact of the matter is that if a self-employed freelancer gets shortchanged, the cost of taking the issue to court is often greater than what the bill is worth.
But now freelancers are joining ...
Just thought it was interesting.

I think I have found my out of MTing finally. I am going to try to be a home health aide. It is perfect for me in every way!! I am just so excited! ...
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.
I have always wanted to start a new association for MTs-AMERICAN MTs.

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.

I always thought that companies paid for PTO based on an average of your last 3-6 months production.
I just found out that my company pays by the hour! This means my PTO for a week will be half of what a I normally make?
Have you ever heard of this? Is this the norm? ...
that due to the problems of the Kapersky program they are not pushing the remaining few of us to install. I spoke with my CCM yesterday who told me that almost everyone was up on Kapersky at this time. However, there are still some of us that have not been contacted to install due to major problems it causes running MQ programs such as ASR.
Personally, I was not happy with McAfee even in its advanced stage. So I purchased on my own Microsoft One Care Live (I got permison ...
retirement hut. It is on the inner island. If it makes you feel better there is no tsunami and/or hurricane season in this area of the South Pacific.
Bunion, I was not sure of your island preference, water, beach or inner island hut. There are plenty to choose from.
Shipwrecked, you may have NJA tonight (I have it almost everyday as well), but it won't be long before we say "Q who" and move into these huts in paradise.

I am really glad I found this board. I felt really alone. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who thinks MQ is making a profit off of the MTs. Being cut in pay for ASR was bad enough, but this first time right stuff is too much.
I am going back to school and I'm getting out of the MT business.
