ee-gads, you know those job ads that
go on and on and on, making you scroll fo-ever, some of which having recently discovered how to (eh-hem) double space? You'd almost think they were getting paid by the line, har-har; but, seriously, is that what dedicated looks like? or boredom. perhaps creativity on soda and candy bars, woo-woo! and they just don't quit growing.
At any rate, to me it's like walking the fair grounds past all the game booths with the carnie barkers calling out, girlie-girrrrl - get your grass greener here! tell ya what I'm gonna do...
Right entertainin' they are.
I got a travel mug! I work at HOME. I drive 10 miles a week. I don't drink coffee. Sheesh! lo

Workload
I work at Cymed and I have never run out of work. Do H&P, consults, DS, etc. for a hospital account. Not sure if it depends on your account or the office you work out of, but I have always been able to get my lines in. And they pay on time, direct deposit, which is always GREAT. Good luck with your decision.
MDI-MD workload
I honestly have never run out of work with MDI (2+years). My primary has been quite busy. The owner told us they had 3 new accounts starting in April, so I would guess that is what you are waiting for. I'd give it a while longer--they really are a great company.
How's the workload there?
It seems I keep hitting walls with companies that don't have enough work for me.
workload
I also work for Scan. I don't think there is a shortage of work. It seems like she is always asking for people to work and when they don't she has to adjust the amount of work that comes from the client. It's like people want to work only when it is convenient. I personally thnk she should get rid of the ones that don't do their required lines and find people that actually want to work.
Thanks, TT...How about workload?
I would rather sacrifice a little in the pay department in exchange for a reliable employer. Is there always plenty of work?
Workload
I don't know what region the OP works in but I have accounts in three different regions and there has not been a no work situation in many months. usually they are asking people to work overtime. Sometimes it might be light for a day or 2...Like last week (not in my primary) but I saw in my secondaries that work was a little lighter than usual but I figured it was people taking the last vacation of the summer as I know in the south and west kids started school and here in NY college started this week. This week, back to OT.
Ever changing workload
If those people had any clue what they were doing, things would not be the way they are.
Have you ever worked for a company who suddenly sends out an email that says -we got a new acount- -it's already been added to your pool- -here are the account specifics- ...and has done this repeatedly with no warning whatsoever.
No human can keep all of those account specifics straight. If they had a brain, they would divide up those accounts and lessen the number of accounts in the MTs pools. In other words, if there are 100 MTs, put 3 accounts in 50 MTs' pools and the other 3 accounts in the other 50 MTs' pool. Does this not make sense?
They are so thoughtless and inconsiderate...will assign jobs to you without telling you or asking you if it is ok to do so, and then will send an email ordering you to stay on the system until you have completed all jobs assigned to you.
Unbelievable! I'm outta there as fast as I find something else. Hate it...hate it...hate it.
How's the workload at QT this week? NM

Not a good workload at all EVER
This company overhires too. All the good dictators are assigned or MTs choose those over the hard ones. All the crap is left. They are flexible, but as the saying goes, early bird gets the worm and if not, you WILL not have work.
Is the workload picking up at MDI yet? nm

Transcend Workload
I've been with Transcend 5 years. We get 4-hour updates on our individual accounts including the number of jobs available as well as the number of MTs assigned to each account for that day. I just checked. There are 20 jobs to be transcribed with a total of 12 MTs available to transcribe. Do the math. There is never enough work to keep your benefits for full time.
meant arrogant and including. Typing too fast! Gotta get to work! :)

I meant nothing wrong. I meant a friend who can vouch for

One word, they do not monitor their workload
Simple thing to do, then everyone would have enough work, but they refuse. You will never have enough work, they do not care, they just want the work done. You are just a number, they will promise you the moon, and definitely not come through.
Oh great, just what I want to get rid of. I am looking for a steady workload. nm
:
I agree with what you said, high workload
all the time. I could work 24 x 7.
Yes, editing (Escription) workload has been very low.
I agree with you there and if that is what everyone is talking about, yes definitely. The rest of the accounts are not slow. However, Transcend does have a lot of editing for people that want to edit. MDI doesn't specialize in it, so when Escription is slow - there is not a lot to fall back on.
Low workload 70% of the time and was told
NM
Are there any companies with consistent workload?
No matter how many accounts I get, there never seems to be enough work and now, with the holidays almost here, all of my accounts are picked bone dry. Bah humbug.
Has the workload at MDI picked up for anyone? My accounts are still really low. nt

Friend is with them. Workload is very inconsistent, even before the holidays. nm

It is not FutureNet's fault for the problem with workload..sm
They have a priority to their clients - get the job done as quickly and professionally as possible. They had hired sufficient amount of employees many months ago and was told that everyone was not helping out like they should. I, for one, happen to have fallen into that category due to family illnesses and some problems of my own. So they were forced to go out and hire enough people for coverage. I was not one to complain, because I had no right, about the overhiring. The work was there and we had a chance to do it. Bottom line - everyone was not doing what they were supposed to be doing for one reason or another. So it was our own faults that the overhiring or whatever reason it was. This time I am not letting that happen. I don't know what has changed the circumstances for their to be plentiful amount of work lately but I like it and I am going to do everything in my power to keep the work going steady and not be delayed. We all have to do that. Actually instead of complaining about them we should be putting that energy into our work and we would see a difference.
Otherwise, they are great! They understand problems when they occur. Also, pay has NEVER been delayed or wrong in the whole year I have been with them. They are professional and always there to answer any questions that you need. QA gets back to you if you request a report to be sent to you for future reference. And the staff that they have to coordinate everything is NOTHING BUT THE BEST!
So, if you are complaining about them I feel that we would have never been in the situation we were for the past several months if we ALL had not done our job like we should have.
Again I, for one, feel like I had let them down somewhat, even though most of my problems were uncontrollable so I am now going to show them that I can be the dependable MT that they once hired. Let's all work on that together so we won't have this problem again.
Not being rude with the above post - just hoping that my co-workers will work together so we can have plenty of work but get done ontime. Hope no offense was taken. 
How is workload at Futurenet and income potential? sm
I will soon be starting with Futurenet and I wanted to hear from some of the current Futurenet MTs. Thanks for all the information. You may e-mail me privately if you wish.
High turnover of MTs. Inconsistent workload. SM
I have a friend who works there. I've resisted the urge to join her because she hates it, but it pays well. The owner can't seem to manage workflow and threatens MTs with cutting them off if they don't work extra. Now that makes a lot of sense, doesn't it? I don't need the hassle. Proceed with caution.
Wow, do I need my coffee
Don't know what I initially searched for but did it again and found all kinds of recent posts, sorry. Would still like any other info anyone wants to share.
Just get some more coffee LOL
:)
Exactly why CMT and $1 might get you a cup of coffee but
so that it requires a college education, not some lame exam by AHDI, then yes, it might actually mean something to someone other than AHDI and their cronies. No one else cares, sad truth. We are transcribing medical records of physicians, not creating our own content or treating patients ourselves, and it does not require a college education for most people. Physicians do not see CMT and gush because they probably don't even know what it is. AAMT, err, I mean AHDI is not that well known, not well recognized, or most importantly, not well respected enough to elevate the status of this profession. They are behind a lot of changes implemented that have served to do nothing more than lower the standards for MTs everywhere, in fact. Do your research. Just the fact that AHDI says it's in my best interest proves to me it's not!
Obviously the fat cat needs her coffee
I meant to say in case of a buyout of one of them. I think I am extra scared because of what is happening in California. The whole state is about to declare bankruptcy.
Not any more it won't get you a cup of coffee...
... of course, it won't get you tomorrow's newspaper anymore, either.
I remember when you could get coffee for 10 cents at Sambo's.
Okay, so I'm older than dirt and I just showed my age. :)
Dictaphone controls Transtech workload, for the most part.
If you search, you will find plenty of recent info on Transtech.
Not awake yet..no coffee.. How about That not They... LOL Nm
Wow, I almost spit coffee everywhere!!
How did I miss this story??? I used to work for Transcription Stat and Kim Kaneko. Not surprised this sort of thing caught up with her at all. Can you say line padding? Statute of limitations is up on this and all by now but not surprised to hear about Kim and TS' business as usual. Kim herself wasn't so bad but she had the uncanny knack for hiring the most unstable, mentally ill MTs that were ever forced to work together in one room (no at home MTing at that time).
This raises the question: We all know that insanity doesn't just run through our profession--it gallops full speed ahead!! So, do you think the off-shore MTs are anywhere near as nutty as the US MTs?
A. Of course they are! Who could do this ridiculous profession without being driving quietly insane.
B. Of course they are! And you must be insane yourself to even question this!!
Anyway, thanks for the interesting morning!
Oops, need more coffee
nm
I smell the coffee
:)
Whoops, the cat needs more coffee!
I meant to say if we really are PROFESSIONALS, not PROFESSIONS. Too early on this coast! :)
Excuse my typos. Not enough coffee yet! :) nm

I'm not a coffee drinker either, but a travel
mug is good to drink anything if you are going to have it sitting on your desk beside your equipment while you work.
