How do you get to work for both. Spheris told me it was conflict for me to have another job.

They said it was all that was available.

I was the go-to MT in my previous positions and always at the top of the QA pile and production at an acute care facility with 1000+ beds. Loads of experience and great education. Spheris recruiting could not have been less interested in talking with me (I know for a fact that my manager recommended me to them and spoke very highly of me), yet their ads looking for help are everywhere. How is it possible with all their openings that I'm assigned F-M evenings and nights?????

I wonder if there a way to talk directly to account supervisors?  I know for a fact that the account for the F-M evening and nights has very, very few reports dictated at that hour. Why assign those hours when there is no work available?

I am no stranger to working as needed.  I generally worked every single holiday and about 80% of the weekends.  I worked early mornings, late at night, in the middle of the day at the convenience of my hospital in order to maintain their TAT. 

This schedule makes no sense to me.

obligations to each company it isn't anyone's business what you do. 

When you sign a contract with a company rarely is there a clause about not working for oneone else, only a noncomplete clause.

Now if you are using their equipment for the other company I see a major issue with that, maybe not illegal, but certainly not ethical.  I

I would prefer to only work one full-time job, but there are things that I want (like a roof over my head and to pay the utilities - ha), and the only way I know how to get them is to work enough so that I can have them.  My full-time job is acute care, and the PT jobs are clinic work, so it is nice change of pace for me ... at least as nice as still sitting all day and pounding a keyboard can be.  The way the wages have gone down in this industry, it seems I have to work twice as hard to make half as much.  I made more in 1983 than I do right now.  Still ..... such is life.  And when I want to have a little pity party about having to work so much, etc., I just think of those who do not even have a job or a place to stay, and I realize I should be grateful to be working at all.  

Has anyone ever come across a company that makes you sign paperwork stating that you are not working for another company.  I need a second part-time job, finally found one and while filling out the paperwork I came across this.  I didn't tell them I was working for another company during the interview but also did not deny it.  Should I give up the second or just not tell?

With being an IC, the only requirement I had was I had to commit to a certain number of lines per day and they had to be completed between 1:00 am-11:59 pm of any given day.  Some tried to pin me down to stating approximately what time I would be working daily, but since I am an IC and I cannot give an hour-by-hour commitment each day, I usually gave them a time frame of when approximately each day I would probably type the work such as anytime after 2:00 p.m. and before 11:00 p.m.  However, they do expect you to make your daily line commitment.

There is no reason for me to lie about this.

I am NOT talking about offshoring, but the company whom they outsource to may offshore . . . I have no idea about that.  But straight from the horse's mouth, they have outsourced to a small MTSO before. 

You can notice how the work dries up all of a sudden when they turn it over to the service and we have no work.

TT mgmt may not tell that they outsource today, but they definitely told me about 9 months ago when I asked when the work was low.  From the way the jobs disappear occasionally, I think it happens quite often.

If you work for Spheris could you email me off board and let me know what you think of this company as I have an interview call with them the last week of May.

Thanks,

When I worked there a year ago they actually asked us to voluntarily make samples of our work to help train our overseas replacements, ON OUR OWN UNPAID TIME, yet!  

Strangely, many of us declined, since our replacements were already getting the best accounts, better company computers than we had, and company sponsored picnics and bonuses (which we did not get).  Somehow the spirit of giving a little bit more wasn't upon us.
