[ In Reply To ..]Average MT salary (those who work to line the pockets of the PIGS).... $17,000!!!!
I hope all these greedy people can sleep at night - sote
[ In Reply To ..]I'll be lucky to make 15,000 after making over 30,000 the past few years prior and up to 50,000 before that. It's unreal. Have had to take partial unemployment. It is sad. Seriously...an I still in America?
Similar story here...used to make about 45k, then 30k, now lucky to do 20... - Kiki
[ In Reply To ..]And oh yeah, they can sleep at night, on their $8,000 swedish tempurpedic mattress, while I try to make due on a saggy sofa bc I can't afford a new bed. They sleep just fine.
Geez - sote
[ In Reply To ..]It's so sad. I even seen text errors in my message... unfortimately, the give a !@#$ is gone now. Over 20 years of terminology and experience, worthless now :-( It's up to the American people to do something at this point. I can't do anything more and not have outsiders here in the US think I'm nutzo. If you aren't in an industry that has experienced outsourcing, I wouldn't expect you to understand. But my concern is...HELLO -your private health information, maybe even your social security # is going outside of the USA!! I am workingt here in the middle of the country, but working for an MTSO. It's not a good deal. Nothing else has worked. I just don't care about working here in this industry anymore, they have decreased the pay so much, I'd be better off with no knowledge and no experience to be a checker at Walmart; probably be more fun too. I have to find something that I enjoy again. I did find a trancription company and they seem pretty honest and I'm thrilled to see I still love this occupation afterall!!! It is just that I'm scared as hell that this next company I signed onto will be bought by MedQuist or Nuance though. My goal is to get out of the industry completely now. I have no choice pay wise and no confidence the economy will ever improve; I mean, seriously, our congressmen/senators cannot even balance a checkbook for crying out loud here in the USA. I have to do what is best for my family and I and unfortunately, it looks like this industry has gone overseas compleatly. Sorry USA. I had you safety and PHI in mind, but corporate Amwerica/India made that view a bit different for me now.
I am sure those people all... - digiti minimi
[ In Reply To ..]go to church every Sunday/Saturday whatever, so they can "look" like upstanding citizens. Make me puke!!!!
You can bet your 0.4 cents a line...(sm) - SickToMyStomach
[ In Reply To ..]they are sleeping like babies, and the only things waking/keeping them up at night is how they can get/take more. It's not only in the MT industry, either. Makes me sick.
And the Pigs whine if we want an unpaid day off. - And think 7 or 8 cpl pay is too high!
[ In Reply To ..]Those companies that gripe about profits could increase their company's bottom line if they dumped all the pricey management folks, and hired (for a reasonable, down-to-earth wage), some REAL people to do a REAL job... not sit there laughing and patting their fat bellies.
OINK, OINK!!!
Holy cow - !@#$%
[ In Reply To ..]Blows my mind, especially whereas they have asked/told us that they had to cut back because of the economy and I have been told "we should feel lucky we have a job in this economy." In all the while, they are raking in more bucks. My blood is boiling!
OMG. Just ... OMG .... speechless ... - health and wellness coach
[ In Reply To ..]Those figures speak VOLUMES. Anyone in this field who isn't totally pissed off by that information needs to check themselves for a pulse.
All MTSOs (not just MQ) have been feeding us that - %*&@ for years. Its time we MTs
[ In Reply To ..]stand up to them collectively and tell them "He11, NO!"
I am a mushroom..... - Former MT
[ In Reply To ..]Here's some more icing on the fat cat's cake..... After Q acquired Spheris in 04/2010 things weren't bad for about 3 months. Then IT started with a pay cut on 08/19/2010 (yes, I remember the exact date) of about 10% plus the loss of bonuses and Internet reimbursement. This was followed a short time later with an Email from the "higher-ups" stating what a wonderful, profitable year the Q had had.... Talk about rubbing salt in an open wound! I had just gone through cost cutting in my own budget just so I could afford to have a roof over my head. I left the Q a year later (08/15/2011, almost to the date of that first pay cut .....to a non-MT field! Maybe someday I will be able to use some of the skills/knowledge I acquired as an MT, but for now my bills are getting paid and I might even have a little left over from time to time.....THERE IS LIFE AFTER THE Q!!!
WE HAD A HUUUGGE PROTEST TODAY! - Priceless!
[ In Reply To ..]Many instructors, students, and everyone in the city protesting today in Portland.
WHERE IN THE WORLD DID YOU FIND THIS INFO??? THIS IS PRICELESS!!!
Makes me sick, gag, and I hope the suits all fall and fall hard. They rely on their stocks and did you hear there are hackers threatening to wipe out wall street??? Completely clear it, vanish, gone, goodbye.
I love it. I hope the hackers are successful! - Im headed to the Berkeley protest on Saturday! (n

[ In Reply To ..]Interesting that all the Occupy Wall Street posts have been removed, except this one. The moderator must have just missed this one. Does this site represent freedom of speech or not? I for one saw nothing offensive in any of them, so what's the deal?

"Occupy Wall Street" is coming to a city near you. It is spreading all across the country. I was shocked to find out the city I live in which is very democratic will be protesting this Thursday. Occupy Wall Street protesting is spreading like wildfire. Hey higher ups! "PEOPLE BEFORE PROFITS" "MADE IN AMERICA" "STOP OUTSOURCING". Transcriptionists are not the only one who agrees with this.

Okay, so I know what has been happening the past few months, but since it didn't affect me directly, I just kinda put it out of my mind. But since the first of the month, my BOB is out of work during my shift (late afternoon/early evening). This has never happened before. Wondering if it is because daytime people are switching to later hours or my work is going overseas? Not NJA yet, just unfamiliar work for the majority of my shift. If this is how it's go ...

I keep getting dinged for comma usage, and I'm not one to overuse them, though I fully support the use of an Oxford comma. I am old school, and I've been taught the following about commas 1) They go before a conjunction when what could be complete sentence follows. 2) They do not go before or after (unless there is a strange circumstance, i.e, "indeed" or some such wording thrown in) a conjunction w/o a complete sentence following it. My hospitals are "modified ver ...
