Emailing daily log........ sm

In Reply to: Thank you. I have been keeping a notebook - sm
Do yourself a huge favor. If you don't have a scanner, buy one! I keep a handwritten log and at the end of the day I just scan it into an email. You certainly don't need another screen to contend with.

Emailing everyone
You go!! Don't forget Lou Dobbs...he loves to talk about the evils of outsourcing...this would give him LOTS to talk about.
Try emailing QA sm
I was off QA after about 3 days.
I would like to know also, why emailing you?
This is what this board is for, to post so others can see and make decisions on places.
Maybe try emailing
I would try emailing again and checking status of what they are doing. I know they were very busy with a lot of applicants. Wouldn't hurt to just get your name out there again and email to see where they are at.
Maybe instead of emailing...
If you have a phone #, give them a call and hopefully you'll get someone to talk to and get some kind of explanation.
I think I'd be a little concerned because, as KYM points out, you're not getting a response from more than 1 person/department.
I'd definitely be polite but proactive and find out what's going on.
Good luck :-)
as far as them emailing me...
I've had 2 companies tell me they were interested and wanted to set up an interview date, then heard nothing after I responded so I can't help but wonder what will happen with any other company from now on.
Testing was on the typical mttest site-real easy. I don't know if I'm supposed to mention what specialties I had on the transcribing part, but I had 4 files that were actually pretty good.
I saw 2 old posts about them before and it just mentioned that people were happy with them. I didn't see anything negative.
Sorry I can't give any work experience with them. Good luck to us and anyone who applied though.
Would you mind emailing me?
I'd like to reduce the hours I work and/or pick up another IC job. Thank you.
would you mind emailing me.... TIA nm

Do you mind emailing me regarding
Are they very strict on the requirement of having 5 years experience as an 'editor'? I have been an MT for 8 years but have only edited for a few months.
Would you mind emailing me too... sm
I've been thinking about applying there myself... thank you.
Try emailing or calling your former STM. nm
.
No communication? They are calling and emailing me

Allegiant MT - Would you be interested in emailing me?
I'd like to ask you some questions. Thanks
Why don't you call your manager instead of just emailing? nm
.
Why only emailing you for answers, why so secreative?
NM
Good luck with emailing that one
like a 12-year-old IM'ing her pals. How professional or NOT. Unfortunatley this situation is not isolated as there have been many before you and surely will be many after. No no communication, no nothing. Some of us were just smart enough to get out while the getting was good.
Hey shortcake, would you mind me emailing you about JLG?
nm
Fatcat, I just tried emailing you, but it came back.
Could you email me, please? Thanks!
They contacted me within 30 minutes of emailing my resume!! nm

Did any of you try emailing or calling D herself? Perhaps things have changed sm
since I worked there, but it used to be you could talk to her and she would listen and make things right if she could. Maybe she is not as much involved in those things anymore and it is mostly C handling things. It just seemed worth a shot. It is sad to see so many people unhappy and scared for their livelihoods.
Good luck.
Have you tried emailing Instant Text tech support? sm
Sometimes if it doesn't work exactly perfect they can send you a fix to make it work. The link is on their webpage somewhere and they have a forum where you can search, too.
Only took 5 min & my post re:dont waste time emailing
.
Is do you do a daily log. I currently do, but
I know different accounts do things differently. The work is submitted to the client differently.
I don't know enough about the accounts to offer any help, but if she is already working then her lead should have provided this information.
Oh my GOD.... no wonder they have ads up daily. THANK YOU! NM

...rather than on a daily basis? Thanks.

Daily Work and TAT sm
I just started a new IC position last Monday. I had one day with some work last week (due to holiday) and yesterday there was nothing and today a 2 minute job. The company says they do not know when or who will dump the jobs. The TAT is 24 hours and work could be dumped any time of day. I report for work at about 7 a.m. Do you just sit around all day waiting for work? Should there be a cut-off time when it's too late to start? We do have lives too. What would you do? No other job expects you to wait around without being paid. I must be thick or something. Thanks for the input.
Daily Work and TAT............
It is probably just the holidays. Just hang in there. I have a very flexible schedule, so I know what you mean about waiting all day. I am home all day (homebody) and like the fact that I can check in, work when needed and get my house clean, take care of my kids and cook, etc in between time. I work for a GREAT MTSO and have never had an out of work situation until the holidays. It will pick up. :)
I have never seen this in the news, which I keep up on daily.

The Daily Transcription
Does anyone know anything about this company? I am going to be testing with them, but I just wanted some opinions first.
Thanks!
I saw the daily report
yesterday that said nothing was nefarious and that this is supposedly normal. I can tell you, I do not remember it being slow at this time of year either. Part of me wonders if like someone else had posted that some of the accounts are not starting to give their work to other vendors. Another part of me wonders if they are doing this to get people to quit so they can hire on people at lower rates. I mean it would stay in line with their value of money.
It is done on the computer daily
though intranet. They should give you instructions on how to do it after they have set you up in the system.
so why are they hiring on mt daily?? nm
nm
They want you to meet your daily
lines counts. I don't think that is asking for too much.
They used to have a job board ad almost daily
...now you never see anything from them. Wonder if they are losing accounts.
Daily changes make me . . .
want to commit myself to a psych hospital. Driving me crazy. Acid tongue supervisor makes everything worse.
whats the $$$ on that daily incentive?
How high does the daily incentive go? Please.
Thanks.
How high does the daily incentive go? Thanks. nm

I used to get 2000+ daily with one hospital
oh my god that work rocked! It was 95% normals and work was plentiful. Imagine, ortho reports that were 2 pages long and all you had to do was type in your little Expander shortcut and poof there was the whole report whenever the dictator said Please use my _____ report. Ka-ching!
Ahhhh...the salad days. I remember them with such a sad fondness...it was the kind of thing that was just so good you just knew it wouldn't last.
Now I'm all bummed again. Where did I put that cheesecake....
Running out of work daily
We have started running out daily, a lot of the time when I sign on in the morning there is no work on my primary, maybe not even secondary. Our supervisor has asked many to switch shifts, to work the night shift and I know 10 or so have done so. It seems we were getting out of TAT in the evenings, so NOW it is over compensated and there is not much during the day, before noon, anyway. Used to work 8-10 hours OT every week, now that is down to 5-6 or less hours OT. I don't know what to do. I need my hours and some OT, too. Can't work nights.
What is their daily line count?
xx
can anyone tell me about sending daily report and how
you keep track of that? You can e-mail me if you'd rather. Just started and curious if you have to write down all your jobs at the end of shift of is there an easier way of sending this info?
MDI-MD, but you set the daily line count
x
Yes it is QA's job - and they send feedback daily
Every day, hand typed, sent to the supervisor, who then passes it onto the MT.
Of course, many of the errors are seen time and time again because the MTs either:
A) don't read the feedback
B) don't care
C) both of the above
what is their daily lines requirement
I use to work for Spheris which I loved I just got tired of working the Sa-Tu for two years and they would not change from schedule.
WHAT??? I talk to the office almost daily. sm
I lead a few accounts and have been training on a new one that starts in a few days. The phone number has not changed in 5 years and it should still forward from the old one. This site takes off phone numbers if we post them, so please email me.
Not only are they still in business, but still growing. I spoke with someone there today that said that they doubled in size last year and will this year too.
I am just excited about the new insurance!!!!!
i appreciate that and do count my blessings daily
I definately know I have a great situation job-wise. I'm also definately not one to groan and moan about life/job/bills, though I didn't really do that when I was making half of what I make now either. Sometimes I think a lot of success has to do with attitude. If I wasn't so nose to the grindstone and instead spent a good part of my time dwelling on the not so great parts of being an MT or about life in general, I definately could not be as successful or productive.
I realize that I may not be the norm, however do want everyone to know that it is possible. There are good companies out there and there are ways to make yourself successful and highly productive.
They are discussed almost daily. If you'll look through
past posts you'll get lots of info. They are in India with a storefront office in the US.
Transcend's out of work daily.
You might be able to get enough work if your hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. but there is no work in the morning and at night I watch 40 to 50 jobs disappear all at once and I have nothing left to do.
Editing daily line count
What is considered a good hourly line count for editing? I'm being asked this by a service....but our hospital pays by the hour and by report, not by lines. I'm trying to come up with a reasonable number. Thanks for your help!
Any companies with a daily line requirement of 800?
 I'm serious. Are there any companies IC or employee with a daily line requirement of around 800 or so? I seriously lose concentration after that but I love to transcribe.
