I'd like to know too as we can seem to keep steady work, yet we are always trying to hire more.

If someone knows why they keep hiring more people, let us know. All I can think of is that the MTs they have keep quitting due to the lack of work, it's a vicious cycle. Somedays, they holler for help, you get in there and work hard, and then the next thing you know, we're out of work. I say STOP HIRING and let the MTs you have who want and need the work to do just that. I'm so sick of the feast or famine concept there. I'm job hunting. This stinks. They obviously advertise because they cant keep good help. That's my guess!!!

Is the work steady?
Do you work for them?
If you want steady work...
Do not go to Amphion...Constant low work and they switch from account to account to account until there is no work on any account. Not Amphion!!

Good pay, steady work?
I was considering applying but don't want to jeopardize my current job.
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.
None for me either, no steady work for weeks..nm

Been at my job since March and work is steady
I work for a small U.S. company who does not offshore (and shall remain nameless, by me anyway). You have a primary account and a backup account. They do not over-hire so the work is mostly steady. I am told that it only runs low around the holidays. I'm pretty happy with that. At least you know the lull is coming and can prepare for it financially. My days at sitting at the computer waiting for work are over, for now anyway.
Steady work? Fairness in doling out the work?
Am so tired of crap work because I can do it, am getting burned out because of just that, crap work all the time. One of the reasons I am looking at other companies.
I work for a small national. I have steady work, usually
extra if I want it. I make 10 cpl as an employee, get vacation, 401K matching, PTO, wonderful QA, lots of ESL dictators but mostly decent ones, direct deposit, no IM, no nasty e-mails, no phone calls asking me to work extra day after day. Saying that MTs are surprised at how much money they make because they have steady work even though the line rate is low sounds like a line a used car salesman would use. A low line rate is a low line and an insult, especially since without the MTs you wouldn't be able to pay your bills.
Just because everyone else sees to be going to India is like the saying you parents would say if everyone else jumped off the bridge .... Many companies sell out, but you don't HAVE to sell out. You choose to get more bang from your buck but I've seen the work that comes back from overseas and I would never put my name to it.
You might can fool some of the people some of the time, but it won't fly with me.

Many old YOGgers at FutureNet, but the work isn't steady. sm
When I was at MQ, they lost many YOG accounts, but I haven't been there in a couple of years, so I can't really speak to that.

Needing steady work as well....email inside
Thanks! nwmt68@hotmail.com
True but I got news for ya - you aren't going to get steady work anywhere that way.-
An MTSO has an account to cover. Period. She will give the work to whomever is willing to be flexible enough to cover the account. Even an IC has to work within some framework, not just whenever I feel like it, right?
As far as I know, IC only. Very steady work flow. Pay is good and on time.
 Great lady to work for.
EMTS Great company steady work
Getting new work and accounts are sending more and more work. Great people to work with.
enjoy it there. good accounts. steady work.

I've had steady work the past 2 days on
my primary account, but I'm pretty sure it only has to do with people being off. I don't think there has been any kind of major change for the greater good or anything. So I'm not getting excited. I'll be back at the soup kitchen probably next week - so someone save my seat!
Downside is that there's rarely a steady/even load of work everyday unless there's always a ba

Just started myself - steady work - and I do work

Me too. As soon as there is a little extra work they hire and hire and then noone has any. This
goes on all the time. I get sick to death of it. I think having 2 part time jobs is better so you have 2 jobs to count on.
QT gets my vote! I love it! Gross line pay, on time, 1 account, steady work! Great place!!!! nm

U.S. only, very steady work, some VR, good pay, good insurance, no PT, schedule. sm
That should cover it!
When you hire on and run out of work --
I hired on as a part-time MT for 2 different places. After my training, the first few days went okay. Then, I hit a snag. The first place I signed onto had no work - or at least started sending the e-mails about flexing our hours due to light workload, blah, blah.
I replied with my resignation stating that I simply could not afford to wait around while they tried to find work - they knew when I agreed to work and I expected to have it - I already had another part-time position and thank you very much.
Amazingly enough, I had a phone call and work within about 15 minutes and hadn' thad a problem since.
It's a gamble, true. Could backfire, true. I was, however, as prepared as I said I was and felt that if I tolerated even one day of the low/no work without letting them know how serious I was, it would just feed a lax attitude from the company toward keeping me supplied with work.
Anywho, just thought some of you may benefit from my experience.
I work M-F only. They can hire
PTers to do weekends like they've always done for years and years. I don't like this new trend of Su-Th/Tu-Sa. It's completely unnecessary when there are so many out there looking for PT weekend work.
Does Transtech hire to work on VR?
I am so SICK of VR I'm jumping ship.
Which companies hire for VR work?
I would like to go back to doing VR work. I think I am more productive with it. Who is hiring for VR work, are they good companies, and do you feel more productive doing VR versus straight typing? Thanks
Work here now, wouldn't hire on here now
I work for Spheris now and am doing okay, but I wouldn't hire on here now as I don't think I would get the deal I have now. Also with speech recognition I have to wonder if the workload will be enough for the employees we have now. Most of the good work goes to India and I would never work for another company again that sends work out of the country.
Insurance is crappy and expensive.
This is a marginal company to work for if you are already here but not something I would sign up for if I were looking for a job now.

it's not illegal to look for an IC that will work when THEY NEED THEM to. Why hire someone to work morning when you need nights for example.
Why hire someone to paint your house blue when you wanted orange?
Why hire a male stripper when you wanted a female stripper?
If you need someone for certain hours, you can request that person or IC to work those hours or not get work. Simple as 1-2-3.
Why would transcend hire? There is no work now.

This was longer ago than that and they were able to hire New Yorkers. I don't work there, either.

Does WMX hire PT and/or offer clinic work? nm

If they hire you to work on a specific account
Sounds too controlling for my taste.
I have seen many companies who want to hire OP people to work from home!

I wonder if they hire US MTs on new accounts and then get rid of them and send the work to India
after it goes through SR or something and the system learns from the US MTs.
Does MedScribe in Florida do clinic work and/or hire

Can anyone tell me if Administrative Assistants is a good company to work for and if they hire IC
or employees.
Are there any companies that hire emp status and let you work sort of a split?
I would like to work 6 hours during the day while kids are in school and then about 2 hours in the evening. Are there companies that will allow this? Do they have affordable benefits?
In my state, if they hire you full time, then do not provide the work you can draw unemployment -
You would have to talk to someone in your state, but I was able to draw partial unemployment while still working in Georgia. I had to report in each week how much I made and they gave me partial benefits. To qualify, you had to have been hired full time.

I know that is the case in most placed, but not everywhere. I am very thankful that I have a job where I make good money and am treated well. This was not always the case. I used to be with MQ--indentured servitude. To those who are discouraged, I say, don't ever, ever give up. Keep looking. You will find your bashert, your right kind of a job.

Perhaps not pie on the sky at all. It is a fabulous idea. How can we make it happen?

Believe it or not, I interviewed a local funeral director yesterday, as that is a career I am interested in pursuing. One has to go to mortuary college (there are several through the US) and I know anatomy, physiology and was really good at chemistry. I am not squeamish about dead bodies. Funeral directors make a very good wage, even if you do not own your own mortuary. I do not want to get into the business side of it, would rather just be a staff funeral director for an established mortuary. Just another thought for those people considering a change. For those of us who have to work several more years, I don't think MTing is going to last. Or maybe I won't last. Anyway, just a suggestion, along with the post about dental hygiene. And yep, steady eddie, I agree, this whole thing has gone down the spit sink! You nailed it.

TEXTING? Does that mean that I can do my work on my BlackBerry now? And we need to keep on breaking those paper chains. My old grandmother used to have a saying: YOU DESERVE THE KIND OF TREATMENT YOU WILL ACCEPT. I would tell anyone who made me such an offer to, well......
Oh great, just what I want to get rid of. I am looking for a steady workload. nm
