That's strange because I had a dedicated account
or acute care. I was doing clinic VR/some transcription. Very strange that the work ran out. There was no rule like that when I worked there, and it has been within the past six months. Things must have changed.
Dedicated MTs is what is required in this business.
I have watched over the last 20 or so years women devote 12 to 15 hours a day, 7 days a week to their MTSO. We all have. Not having that devotion can break a business in this field because of TAT.
I did not know Carol but I was there when she left her group of MTs to Medquist. It would not have been so devastating had she not built the company on their backs, had she said good-bye to them with a wonderful gesture of kindness, yes MONEY - because that is what you do when you have become successful enough to sell your business for millions of dollars after starting out at the ground floor - you remember the people who were with you on the ground floor and stayed through the good and bad.
Rather, she took the money and ran off without a word - and that in itself says she knew that she not only sold the company behind their backs but also that she owed the success of her company to a few very specific and important people.
I found the morale at an all time low - and personally, I thought I saw some broken hearts because those ladies absolutely loved their jobs.
She sold it to the Squid and that was the final insult - absolutely reprehensible.
What is the saying? Watch who you step on as you work your way up the ladder because you will be meeting them on your way back down.
Guess we all can't be put on good accts. Gotta be there at the right time. Both of my accts.

I would love to find another organization dedicated
to the American MT. I dropped AAMT really quick when I found what they were doing. In one of their news releases they more or less blamed American MTs for the need to go overseas to find members. They were begging for more members because of the loss of money to the organization.
No Work Either and I am on one of the new accts
.
the MTSO I have been dedicated to for several years has just announced NO CHOICE on VR
So regretful that we have just been informed me of management's announcement yesterday that my accounts were going escription and absolutely no voice about cutting line rate in half . . . there is no way that an MT can edit for half the pay -- especially those of us MT's who have highly depended on their abbrevations/shortcuts/expanders. They are not allowed in VR, nor is retyping the report !
Oh, boy . . . please let me know when you find a company who hires MT's without doing VR nor jobs going overseas. I will be begging for a hire date with that company !
you have to go through w/any company if you work VA accts..nm

i have steady work, on wav accts
with occasional lull's. i could work on secondaries, but usually do something around the house that begs my attention. All i can suggest is being able to be somewhat flexible with your hours, and/or talking to liaison about backup accts. as a last resort, a second company part-time i suppose. but in my opinion, MDI-MD is worth sticking with.
One of my secondary accts has very little work , but they..sm
stat every blessed report they do, so I always get those immediately. It is TAT, but your STM can explain it in more detail.
Great people to work for, but I had to leave due to lack of work. Hopefully that has changed. SM
Most of us who do not live in California had to go IC. When I was there, they did not have statutory status, although they told me they did when they hired me. Their pay for VR is VERY low, not a living wage. Many of the folks in the office are ex-YOG and great to work for/with. Good luck.
the new accts were supposed to already be on board and still no work
x
so far plenty and swamped with work but that is due to new accts and not enough MTs yet so not sure
;
You don't know what accts I work on so how can you judge whether or not they are excellent? nm
.
Companies with new accts or sufficient work?
When I left my last job, the work load was on the wane and recent posts seem to indicate this has not changed much. Any good news out there in this regard?
I work 2 accts, always work available, pay as IC is good..
They offered me more than Transcend did, I work 2nd shift, work always availble, OT usually available. Staff is very responsive to questions, very helpful.
Someone else asking if you still need a Cphone & 2nd line to work for them. Any internet accts? nm
s
2 of the accts running OT in my group of work ARE EXCELLENT sm
Excellent accounts, low ESL, good work. NOT OVERHIRED. GO AWAY.
3 of my accts were in OT all weekend with 0 jobs. Very little work actually available. Check Comm pa
x
? That's kind of a blanket statement; things are fine on the accts I work on. sm
Yes, it was slow a couple weeks ago but started picking up last week.
PS - Yes, they pay for spaces.
Oh they will leave you alone all right, WITHOUT WORK!
Not a very honest bunch of people who do not monitor their work flow, thus first come first serve, thus you might as well throw out their payment scale, as you have to type so much to make so much, and how can anyone do that when there is not enough work!
They leave you alone and let you work....

Well, you can leave work for others while your
I was taught by my parents to worry about me and not what others are doing. It is none of my business how much work is left for others. Who cares? They are not paying my bills, I am.
me too. I work, they leave me alone sm
type what needs to be typed, don't complain and I don't have a problem. It may not work out for some and some may say the pay is too low for 34 years experience (it is) but unfortunately it is what it is.
I decided I loose more money looking for jobs than just settling into one and doing the best I can do. I don't jump through hoops but I help out extra when I can and when I cant, I can't and thats the way it is. They appreciate it and so do I.
I still think, even with the line rates being lower than they were (doing straight MT, no VR) you can make a good living at this but you can't if you don't have the experience! I feel for the newbies but in this business, you have got to do your time so to speak and it takes years. I blame the MT schools out there for the whole go to school for a few months and make a ton of money mind set.
then u should want her to take a leave to get her work
You are so jealous. The girl wants to start a family. It shouldnt matter how long she has been working and where. If she wants to have a baby, then hats off to her.
She will not be having a party as it is not fun sometimes to be pregnant.
If you went out and broke your leg, you can take time off and get paid short-term disability. Why dont you just go do that? You wont have to worry about your production.
Can you say where you work if you get assigned docs/accts.? I'm tired of this pool garbage/left
s
Was there a short time last year. You work as an employee, not IC. Different software/diff. accts.
s
Do they leave you alone to work? I personally
would rather be left alone instead of bothered all day with phone calls, etc.
How are the MW accts that use the ExText? Good sound? Lots of work? Acute care or clinic? Thx. nm
s
Majority of MTs say just give me the work and leave
x
I don't work there anymore, but I know people who do, and she did not leave. pls r/o
That person has not left the company, and she is still wreaking havoc. LOL
Had to leave FN due to neverending low work volume. SM
Almost everyone has to work IC if you don't live in California. Liked working there, though.
Or you could just quit and leave more work for the rest of us... Or, I know - you could sm
do your OWN WORK and stop policing everyone else?!
Leave your email and i will contact you about possibly some prn work. nm
;
Agree. Had to leave. Loved it there but no work and no benefits.
nm
No work, no paid downtime, bennies might leave...
.
Nice people, easy clinic work, leave you alone, but low pay. nm
nm
Unbelievable! I work for Transtech and got PAID maternity leave! Some of these
companies need to take a lesson from them.
? No work? What accts do you work on? sm
I'm on the Enterprise side - are you on ChartMatrix? Because there's lots to do every time I check.
Friend has been there for years, only makes 7 cpl, work load very uneven. Looking to leave,
s
You need to leave due to lack of work. Put in your 2-wk notice and move on. Gotta earn a living! nm

MQ accts not on DQS
When our office was closed we were all transferred to Foxboro because none of our accts at that time were on the new platform, they were on MTS. Some of those accts since have gone up on the new platform and some are still on MTS--either way we still have NO WORK
No more accts on WP5.1...all are now
on the FN platform, which is Word based.
yes to all the above - at least on the accts I was on.

Not the OP, but do they have net accts now, or still

On 5 accts at DSG and still run out - nm
Been like this for months now.

Are all DRC accts on Cphones?? nm

They don't outsource VA accts because they can't (sm)
Contracts with the fedgov won't allow it. Funny how the gov't won't allow VA files to be sent overseas, but they don't bother putting a stop to the rest of ours going huh?
Webmedx does on certain accts, you have to ask. nm

I'm new to them but have only 2 accts and plenty of
