I am strongly considering going to part-time, just hoping to get opinions from anyone who has gone from full-time to part-time or opinions from anyone who has just always been part-time. Thanks! ...

I get paid by the line. I can't understand why they make me stick to 40 hours. I can't get enough lines in in 40 hours to make a decent living wage. Does anyone know of a company (not IC) that just lets me work as much as I want? ...

Lest any of you would like to continue debating whether the "activity" mentioned is legal versus illegal. Transcend paid out MANY thousands for violating the laws you all are talking about and did so around 2006-2007 as did Softscript pay out many thousands MORE around the same time and there are no doubt more violations. I do not encourage you to continue being side tracked by the conflicting posts on this board but am quite confident you all will be. ...

Who is hiring or a company that just requires a set amount of lines per day with no set schedule if there is such a company. TIA ...

Okay looks like there are 6 podiatrists in Iowa. So tempted to call and ask office manager if they know what is going on with their transcription... http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=podiatrist,+iowa&aq=f&oq=&aqi=g10 ...

First put us on VR. Hey, good deal! I like VR. Then then cut our pay in half and make us use a new program. No big deal. It's supposed to be the best! I can live with it. I should still be making the same if not better. Uh-oh. Problems with the program. Support can't straiightens it out but, hey, I'll live with that! Just gotta learn to get around the quirks. Oh, wow! No work. Pay going downhill. Hey, new accounts coming on line. Yippee! Maybe I can finall ...

How can one company expect an IC to be full-time? Isn't this a contradiction? I mean, how can you be an IC and work for only one company? Or, does this mean that you should have more than one job and work more than full-time? ...

I'll have the email program open and about 30 minutes or so later, it'll log me out. What gives? ...

I need supplemental income and am looking for a companyto work as an IC. I am not overly concerned about running out of work, as I just want supplemental income. Does anyone know a company that it is easy to get started, no long drawn out hiring process with IC work that is maybe overflow or something along those lines or am I just dreaming? TIA. ...

I hope things change for the better for those who remain. But since willfully stupid optimism isn't really my thing, I hope everyone who is unhappy with what has become of what used to be a pretty sweet gig finds better opportunities before things get much worse. Off to exorcise all this garbage from my computer, and then on to pastures with more life in them. ...

Pinging in and out. Getting booted off. Losing reports. And what slow reports are coming through are all wrong...wrong patients...wrong data in ASR. I knew when I read that email a couple of days ago that they were going to update the client's database and apologized for any inconvenience this might cause, we were in for trouble. So predictable. Thanks MQ. All I want to do is WORK! ...

So I send resumes to about 20 places yesterday and I get responses. They say they only pay 8 cpl, but their test is ridiculous for a pathetic 8 cpl. Forget it MedInk!!! ...

I am currently doing a doctor who actually spells out "N-O" whenever he says the word no. I'm ready to scream. ...

One of the docs upset because many of us are leaving the word "and" out of one of his sentences so we got an email instructing us to make a note of this. Never mind that he dictates at the speed of light on a speakerphone, we need to be sure we get every single little word. Heaven forbid anyone should ever tell these docs it is their responsibility to slow down and make sure they are understood. ...

I sat here for 2 hours waiting for work, and I finally have a few reports. Now the sewer just now backed up for the 3rd time in 2 weeks. ARGHHHHHH!!!! I have had the plumber out twice already and still owe for one visit! I make way less than minimum wage most days and am having to depend heavily on my retirement account (I'm only 56). Feel like everything is raining down on me! I also had to call a wrecker the other day because I locked myself o ...

Is it just me or are a lot of you making minmal wage? ...

As if speech rec can't get more annoying and stupid. Working on a report that had Progresso for progressive over!! ...

My team is required to be signed into a conference in Spark when working our account. That is not a bad thing, in fact it is quite educational because I am seeing just how ridiculous everything is. The account is verbatim, you only type a heading if it is dictated. Someone is worried that the doctor said Procedure for a heading naming the procedure and then later used procedure when beginning the real procedure. That MT was worried about getting dinged if she changed the ...

Talked to the recruiter 2 weeks ago tomorrow (Friday, after her postponing the interview on Wednesday), she was very nice was told the paperwork would be send Fed Ex after not receiving it was told the gal in fhe office was out and would be sent later, and of course based on a "background check" etc -- with training to supposedly start 06/14/2010 -- I have since accepted two positions and if I were an MT, I would be VERY leery of this company -- a month to start is ridiculous especially wh ...

As with most of you, my pay from Medquist has taken a total nose dive ever since ASR went to 85% while at the same time cutting our transcription rate down for ASR from 70% to 60%. That's a 40% pay cut!!! I've had to take another job elsewhere to try to make ends meet. Besides that, our health benefits are the absolute worst and get worse every year. Can anyone ever remember any kind of cost of living raise? I used to make $36,000 annu ...

What is wrong with these companies! That type of transcription is a minimum of $1.00/min!! You have to look up so much drug terminology and who knows what the audio quality could be like. I can't believe they have the NERVE to offer $.07/A LINE!! And as usual, they are targeting the "newbies" who they can take advantage of, rip off and pay slave wages to - they are right up there with that other company who posts jobs for general transcription - the name of which escapes m ...

are there any MTSOs who hire part-time weekdays? I'm looking for something M-Thurs or Tues-Friday with morning hours (7 a.m. to 12 p.m.). I realize most larger companies require weekend work, but I have family commitments (sick family member) that interferes with my ability to work weekends. ...

This is soooooo ridiculous, my blood is boiling. The doctor dictated: "Continue vancomycin and will obtain a vanco trough and further dosing recommendations." I get it back as a minor error. She changed it to: "Continue vancomycin and we will obtain a vanco trough . . . She's acting like he put a contraction in there such as we'll. That's purely a judgment call. No wonder we're getting emails complaining about our high ra ...

Up to now, I have hardly ever run out of work but the last 2 weeks it has become steadily more and more and here I sit on a Tuesday morning with no work. I hope to God we are not losing this account because it is an awesome account. I cannot sit here and work all day as I have a second job that I work also. This is truly killing me!! Might as well go back to bed ...

It kinda looks like TTS can't get anyone to work for them with their ridiculous wages. You'd think they would have figured it out by now. ...

OK...everyone wants to complain about QC and I get it, I am sure there are some QC out there who should not be in the job. However, I just processed a report, and even before I started doing 100% on it a glaring issue stood out... Chief Complaint: What's finger paint. Um..yeah....listened to it and can anyone guess what it really was??? Left finger pain. She also typed that he got his hair caught in a clothing rack, when it really was his finger, left out words everywh ...

Fer cryin' out loud, my 4th totally new hospital in the last few hours and I don't even want to talk about what that does to my line count. Got a great big email from the new supervisor reiterating the rules about hours etc. but god forbid she should have let us know this was going to happen. Geez. ...

I had a very odd thing happen last night, a doctor was complaining about the quick turnaround on the reports! Work has been very low at my company, which is the result of overhiring and having way too many MTs on the accounts, and my company does this purposely in order to get really quick (as in immediate) TATs. So, I'm transcribing reports last night as they trickle in, if I can grab them in time before another MT gets them, and one of the reports that I got was a consult. At both ...

This is ridiculous. We are told that to get the measley 15 mins on our time for NJA to get ticket, send Email and put in Schedule Source timesheet alert to manager message. Do NOT stay logged in to check for jobs. Now quite frankly half the time I cannot even get QCare to come up, and definitely MQCentral on the My Community part is asinine acting. I do clock out when getting NJA, but sometimes I have stayed in DQS to see when jobs come in. S ...
