I am guessing that the OP meant the queue

shut off means she can see there are jobs there, but when she clicks to get them, she gets nothing. Either that or suddenly the jobs go from a large amount to 0 all the way down. I have experienced both. Don't know if it is queue shut off or work manipulation by sups.

You probably have them set in your queue...sm
Most companies assign or place them in a queue for you and there is no way aruond them... you're just stuck.. and that is what is unfair if you're good, you get the crummy dictators...
-Babysitting Your Queue..
This is so pathetic. I also have a life and other things and people to tend to in my life. I simply cannot babysit my queue (not every single shift!) *hoping* that work will come in, slowly. I know that work will eventually come in. Thing is, everyone else is searching madly for work along with me, so the new job will last in the queue maybe 5 minutes before someone takes it.
Never heard of queue shutoff, but...sm
what's also happened was that I'd be at the end of a long report, and when I try any of the Ctl+ functions (Ctl+J, or Ctl+N to upload the job) it is suddenly frozen and I have to log off. Doesn't affect the typing, though. My thought at the time (and I'm getting pretty paranoid about the whole MT thing) is that these Leads are taking the jobs right from under our noses (when they have to do their own lines) and keeping them for themselves. It happened once, I tried to log back on, e-mailed my Lead MT who said the job had already been assigned to another MT. Huh?? EXCUSE-ME! Pretty fast work if you ask me. Just my opinion; can't prove it.
HINT: My company had a pretty strong wind lately. In tumbleweed country. (I don't want to give names, you know, paranoia (LMAO).
Jobs in queue have a way of disappearing --sm
awfully quickly once in the MT's queue - the better the dictation (low ESL, etc) the quicker it disappears. But nobody knows anything. 
They definitely expect you to be tied to your queue
anxiously awaiting work. It's ridiculous. They overhire plain and simple. This slowdown is not seasonal and is not exclusively the economy. They lost my 3rd acct in June. I've begged me STM for another backup multiple times. Ain't happening. It's idiotic.
I am guessing NJ.

I'm guessing that
with all the qualified people who frequent this site, you could start a business and grow into a decent sized companies (finding employees here!).
It would be a lot of work but might be well worth it!
Guessing
I think it depends on your Team Leader and the account, but I know of people that do work 4-hour shifts on 2nd or 3rd shift. I don't personally know of anyone at Focus who works a dayshift, though there could be some.
Guessing.
I am left to guessing, as there are no responses to my emails. I don't trust myself to phone them, as I would likely not be able to disguise my extreme anger. I had good evaluations from the Indian gentleman who used to be our account manager/Team Leader, so it isn't that I'm bad. However, I have decided to interpret the situation as a blessing, a motivator to get me to finally find a better position, and move on to a better MT life.
How about Florida - am guessing
we are part of the Tri-state
By "account" I'm guessing you only have one?
Why haven't you asked for a secondary or even a third? That would surely get you better results than simply posting your lack of work here.
Not 100% sure but I am guessing a company in

Each company is different, but if guessing, I

I'm guessing you are talking about Webmedx .
they do not type in radnet, they have their own software. Radnet is used for macros, search patient's, etc.
Your dictators are clear, and there's *no guessing at all*??
So if you get one that isn't so clear, does that mean you *guess*?? 
I'm guessing English is your second language? I would say this is a
disservice to the MT as well as the companies you are going to service. Nothing worse than someone trying to sail the ship who hasn't ever been near the water.
Just guessing but it might be the woman who owns KS??
nm
just guessing - you work for medquist...

Saw that too...WOW. I am guessing it is subcontracted work
if all she can offer is 6 cpl.
Hey gourdpainter. Do you even work at TT? I am guessing no.
Why then are you constantly bashing them?
Approximately how big is Transcend now? I am guessing (sm)
MQ, Spheris and now Transcend, but as I said this is only a guess. Anyone else?
Not just MT, any computer skills, paperwork, etc. could be difficult. I am just guessing. (nm)

You say you work for Webmedx, but in what capacity? MT? Recruiter? Manager? I am guessing not an

I'm guessing the reason these companies won't put their names is afraid they will get bashed.
I'm not sure why else they wouldn't be proud enough to put their company name. Pretty sad..
I meant nothing wrong. I meant a friend who can vouch for

It was not meant to be nasty. I meant that you should take every job seriously. Just because someo
is their focus does not mean that patients should suffer. 96% accuracy could mean the difference to someone who is on the receiving end of that report. I am NOT QA or management but I am an experienced Transcriptionist who believes that the reports we transcribe need to be accurate for the patient's sake.
That is not what I meant at all! Meant broaden to
Broaden to think leave to other profession if that is what is wanted, dont limit yourself to thinking only can leave to another MTSO. Geeesh.
Sorry I meant
just like sm and not dj. I
did not see who correctly who posted first.
Oh, NO!!! That's not what I meant.
I'm sorry it came across that way. I got duped into applying with them by all the rave reviews on the boards, too. Plus, they make no mention of it on their website. I refuse to work for a company that offshores. As for the people who are happy there, more power to them. That's their decision and I'm glad they've got great jobs. I just need something else from a company.
SORRY - meant DRC not DSC
...
As I said, if it meant that much to me I WOULD
figured it was their loss. No biggie to me. All I was doing was giving MY experience with the company, which consisted of being told I would be called back, and then not being called.
THE LAST ONE MEANT FOR MT2
Thanks!
14,000 - that's what I meant to say! nm

Sorry, I meant see msg

I meant even that isn't much FOR QA...

Sorry, I think I meant DSG. nm

I am sure that is what was meant.
Would you tell your child that determination is not enough? I felt that it was not appropriate to tell a future grad that she cannot do something when there is not one of us who knows her well enough to make such a judgement.
sorry meant WILL NOT
get that rate at Deventure
what I meant was...
that I had information and if you would email me, I would share that information in a private email.
Sorry I meant to say just . . . .
Sorry I meant to say just my opinion.
That's not the "M" that I meant.
:)
Sorry...meant
Remember the MTSO/hospital has the ability to change the way lines are counted and not allow you to check your lines...run like the wind from a company who will not allow you to have access to line counts!
You KNOW what she meant. - QA
She probabloy is in a dither.
he/she may have meant
that people who get paid weekly no matter what (I suppose that could be management, tech staff, office staff, whatever) do not understand the importance of consistency in line counts for someone paid by the line. Do not stay in the twilight zone too long. GEEEEEEEEEEEESH.
I think what Rad MT meant
Was that typing on an MT board and performance at work were two different things. You can't get fired for posting a message with bad grammar, spelling or punctuation. However you can get fired for making mistakes in reports on the job.
However everyone including RadMT needs to calm down.
Sorry....... I meant to say those at FN....

I meant..
something not someone.
I meant that is sad
Spheris has sucked out my last brain cell, LOL.
meant doing one now.
I meant the OP :-) nm

Sorry...meant MDI, not MDS
