What a swinger of a month we have had with the furious battle between employers/MTs recently.  I for one was particularly thrilled because of not having had proper response in the past over the same issues of employers screwing MTs for all it was worth and the way they vanished when they were pushed by the various MTs for details.  It is nice to see the spirit with which the MTs went after the employers and their pathetic attempt at justifying/hitting back at perfectly reasonable questions.  I wish this had taken place on "Adalat."  I would take particular pleasure in seeing these people squirm with their mindlessness and greed.

Now on to more pertinent and current hot topics...I understand the guberment has increased the public sector's income by 23%.

Now all of you private sector medical transcription ass**les (read MT companies), how about an increment in the payroll of each and every employee in this field?  It is way past time...The dollar is going uuppp, and still you stingy bums are sticking to the same old rate...kitna kamana hai, abe? Upar jab jaoge saath me khoon se kamaya hua rogda lejooge kya?  Kuch daan karo .... taaki MTs tumhara marne par agarbatti kamse kam jalayenge...   

60k sounded so good I nearly resigned and got onto the next available Ola boat (Chennai is not shining but sinking due to the cyclone so no proper transportation) to meet good ol' Varsha (sorry for the pun).  Now I am not so sure kyonke kaaam ke alava khali buk buk karti rehti hai.  You are yet to inform us how 40K/60k can be earned.

I will not be replying to the miserable "outraged" comments following this.  No point in meaningless arguments.  I, however, will reply if meaningful employers fall at my feet in tears informing me brokenly that they have seen the light (not $$$) and of course, they immediately will release their funds from their soiled dhotis/lungis (disguise), etc. etc. and we can give them our wholehearted support for entering into politics and hopefully support for their kissa kursi ka bid.

Meanwhile, the show goes on....

Very good post.  Everybody needs increase in payments.

But you have to answer following questions and post your answers in this forum and you will know answer to your questions?

1.  Where this medical transcription work originate, India or USA?
2.  Does India only does medical transcription work?
3.  What are the MT rates in countries like Bangladesh and Phillipines?
4.  Are we competing with other countries for this MT work?

If rates in other countries are higher than India then our rates should go up.  If rates there are less, then our rates should go down and salaries can decrease?

Work came from USA to India only because labor is Cheap in India than USA and we know English.  If we will remove our cost advantage or some other country will remove our cost advantage then this work also leave India.  This has happened with BPO already, big companies like GE have moved to other countries like Philippines.

Do some research and post here.

Thanks
