Line - count

requirements will continue to go up and line rates will go down as long as there are people willing to do the work for that. That's why we're all in the boat we are in.

Why do - you

dislike that? Why else do you think they are doing it? If nobody would work for the lousy wages, they would have to pay more.

They will not pay more-they will just send more to India - or elsewhere overseas

I think that should be illegal given we live in the age of terrorist. Someone in India knows my personal medical information, but I have to go through a mound of red tape just to secure a loan from a bank and make sure I don't have any terrorist ties-now that is ridiculous-I don't mind being extra security in just about any place, but flip side someone over seas can have access to personal information about me just by transcribing my reports? Something is wrong with that picture.

Has Our Minimum Line Requirement Changed?
Nov 19, 2014

It is still 150 lines/hr for straight isn't it?  (I think I've gotten a total of 3 straight transcription jobs in the last month).  So, is it 150 lines for VR too, which is what the majority of our work is?  Or is the line requirement much higher for VR?  This is all assuming there is work of course........ ...

Can somebody explain this to me?  I know you can work up to 40 hrs weekly, but what is the required line count?  I'm wanting to go to PT so I can get another PT job somewhere else, as the NJA drives my nuts.  I'm currently required to get 100 lph at FTLB.  Is this also my requirement if I go PT?  CCM has been MIA, so I'm not getting any help there and having a hard time finding exactly what I'm looking for on Central.  Thanks ...

Accounts Changed Around And Line Count Suffering
Dec 20, 2010

Hi everyone. My supervisor recently added a new account to my pool and made it priority #1. Now I was just starting to get my line count up to where I could actually earn a decent living to support myself (I am newly divorced and trying to make it on my own in a 1 bedroom apartment yet still very tight). A little background--our company recently switched to M-Modal and the voice quality is horrible on a lot of reports and my pay had gone down anyway because a good majority of our reports are on ...

I See Little Has Changed
Apr 15, 2010

Well, I see not much has changed.  I've been out for nearly three weeks, just flat out stopped working, I think they probably know by now I'm not coming back.  Have not heard a thing from the Q about it. But I think I've found another way to go.  We have a bartending school near where I live.  My sister used to bartend, I never have, but I know what she used to do.  The school will teach everything about mixology and offers job placement when you graduate ...

American Workers Have Changed--And Not For The Better
Nov 08, 2011

I've talked with several MTs recently who work for different companies. The companies have to send out reminders to the MTs that they are supposed to be at work at specific times. They also are having trouble with MTs just taking off without arranging for coverage of their accounts. The list goes on and on. What bothers me most though is the attitude of workers. Work was not easy years ago, but people did it with courage and integrity. You don't see much of that anymore.   &nbs ...
