I hope you are right because my office adamantly denied until it happened that our accounts were

later, typed, typed earlier than my schedule the next day, next day also during my schedule no work, - heck I wasn't going to sit there in front of a computer dialing every 2 minutes for 5 hours. 

Then I get a call that I didn't work my shift.  I said there was no work.  In fact there was no work all week, was lucky to get the lines I did.  Bonus denied.

I will never help them out in a pinch again (they called me to do the bonus!) and I will never sign on when they are drowning to do "bonus".  People who call me to work extra, and then don't pay me for it, don't get much of my work after that.  There are people who pay me for the time I sit and transcribe.  I will spend my time at their work, not at a liar's. 

Why MQ doesn't get it about "If you have no work - don't expect me to sit there" - is beyond me. 

People can't sit up 24 hours a day chasing work to transcribe.  It should be on MQ's back to direct work flow so that when they know people are going to be signing on for their DEDICATED and ASSIGNED shift, there is work for them to do.  Don't let hogs get in there who are not supposed to be working and type all the time, and then there is no work for people who are signing on for their schedules.

And there should be a legit hourly wage set in stone not by some formula, that pays an MT to "sit there and wait." 

I lasted a few months

Be prepared to be on call all weekend because you will get badgered through e-mails and constant I know you all need to make up lines, so there's no reason you cannot work....all weekend... like you shouldn't have a life on your day off.

..never had work.. was constantly harped on about my line counts, yet, they would never respond to e-mails saying that THERE WAS NO WORK and needed another account.  Always ran out of work about for at least 15 hours a week (people making up their time on my time)...NO JOKE. 

Was denied a schedule change... I dont know why either because I never had work on my schedule anyhow.

You need to get permission to make up time... I did that and never got a response. I QA'd at 100% on my reviews though...so I know it wasn't my work quality. 

Some people have WAYYY different experiences there than I have...and I'm not saying not to work there... I am just hoping you have a better experience.

Maybe it was just my supervisor...

So, yes, let me clarify before everyone gets in an uproar.. There is work IF you want to use a C-phone. IF you signed up for an account that is internet-based, you will be disappointed. Not enough work to go around. Just my personal preference.. I have no desire to do a dial-up C-phone account using my long distance.

I have a scroll mouse, but font is still same size.  Appreicate the tip, though...never knew that one. 

Thanks for posting!

I would resign to keep my record clean, and try like heck to get another job but this time in a hospital or clinic and get my production skills up.  If you try and get another job at home (I'm under the assumption you might be a newbie), this could happen again.   You don't need that. 

As for unemployment payments, I doubt you could get them if you resigned.  You'd be better off getting another job right away. 

Good luck!  I hope things work out for you. 

Sort of the same thing happened to me as well, right before Christmas, different company though.  I had been told prior by someone that my accuracy was at 99%; only to be told by someone different that I was being fired because my quality had gone down over the last few pay periods, but what is odd, is I never got any type of feedback.

I am still relatively new to this profession--having only graduated in June of 2005.  I had also contacted my supervisor and asked how well I was doing prior to the firing, only to be told that I was doing great, and to keep up the good work. Then be e-mailed--not called--but e-mailed stating that I had been terminated effective immediately. That was the worst time to be fired from a job because NO ONE hires right before Christmas, and I am still trying to find another place.

Good luck to you

Go to a different branch of your bank and this time DON'T tell them that you had your passcode with the card.  They can look up where the money was withdrawn and they will reimburse you (my bank did).  Then go to the police and they will send an officer with you to go to the bank wherever the money was withdrawn.  A report will be made out and they will check the surveillance tape to see who it was, as long as that ATM has cameras. 

Good luck to you!  Dont' give up on this.    

I submitted resume to one company, they didn't have any openings, so they sent it to another company that they knew had openings.  Guess they were buddies.  Another time, they saw my resume on monster.com

Most of the time I just ignore what I see.  However, if it is a blatant error, as you describe, I would either report it to the QA people or Support.  How did you know, though, that it was never sent to QA for blanks?  Is it possible that she sent them and they couldn't fill in either?  As far as format goes, though, I would say that's a biggie.  Maybe it is something that MT was doing and has since stopped.  I would report it, though.  No one will be mad at you for doing it - as I said, I have done it for big things and actually was told at one time when I started that I should.
