Would like to hear from other Dict8 workers re lack of letters for almost two months now

I've just retired after 38 years as a med sec and was thinking of joining Dict8. I'll give it a miss I reckon. 🤔

Hi there
Just logged on here after a few years off to see if there were any other Dict8 posts on here. I've worked for Dict8 since 2011, both while working in the NHS and now I've retired, and I can honestly say they're a good company to work for. They pay promptly (especially now they do bank transfer instead of cheques), have high standards, give thanks for good work, feedback for poor work and send you a present at Xmas (usually a posh notebook). You're able to pick and choose which work you want to do and reject a dictation, even if you've started it, by clicking 'cancel'. The only negative for me is that the pay hasn't kept up with the times! When I started it was 8p per line which equated to around £10 per hour - sometimes more, sometimes a bit less (when I averaged it out over a week), and it's still 8p per line! This now averages out to £6-£7 per hour which is poor especially when 20% tax also has to be paid. I'll probably stay with them as other companies are no better, and sometimes worse payers, and it helps with the fuel bill😀

Hi
I found the letters a bit sparse a while back so requested Plastics which they gave me. They then asked if I'd also take Emergency Medicine so I now usually have 100-200 letters available through 8 specialities. No questions about my experience in any of these, only had that when I put in my original application. Give it a go (if you haven't already!)😀

Hi dobboflex: What do you mean you requested Plastics. Is this a specialty in Plastic Surgery or am I being stupid? lol
