tested the other day and went onto the second part and hoped to hear. But have not heard a word. Kind of disappointed. Have heard really nice things about this company and they said I'd hear Monday. Guess I did not do as well as I had expected on the typing test. Good luck if you try and get it.

Didn't your outside job with the big bucks work out? We were hoping for ya..nm
a
Hoping all over the place in accounts scrounging for work.
:
I made that working for a national...O/T, weekends...no live, now no O/T or weekends(sm)
so no more big bucks, at least from them...looking for second job to make ends meet, don't have husband to help...this sucks.
Some may want to work weekends. A lot don't.
for that rate of compensation. There was a time 10 cpl was average to below-average rate working Monday through Friday. Then it started changing to working at least one weekend day to make that kind of rate. Now it's the whole weekend, EVERY weekend on nothing but ESLs just to make that kind of rate. I'm not the OP, but I think that might be part of the complaint when s/he says it's a bit rigorous and might be time to leave.
I do ER and don't work weekends. nm
I do ER and only work weekends (PT)
:)
Do you have to work weekends?
nm
Well okay, so you don't work weekends and
I was saying we don't get paid what doctors get paid.
Me too except I do not have to work any weekends. nm

That's the only way I'd work there, no weekends.

Yes. I work weekends.

Don't think there was one. And they really wanted you to NOT work the weekends, too, unless you

Great if you like to work weekends
with no chance of getting time off - seems once you are in a schedule that is where they keep you.
let the people who want to work weekends do it
Some people want those shifts but i do not
??? some people do work weekends and some don't
why so rude and grouchy?
I always had to work two weekends a month. nm
nm
Believe me, you'll work weekends so don't
go bragging just yet. Chances are M-F will find you running out of work.
work weekends or nights.

Be realistic. Someone has always had to work the weekends (sm)
Used to be in house we floated them around until you had enough seniority to opt out. Sometimes we got extra people to work weekends. Now we have so many newer MTs who have never had to work in house and put up with holiday and weekend rotation. Not blaming them, of course none of us want to work them. But because we don't/won't work them or the really crappy night hours, MTSO have resorted to using other means to get the work done.
We, and our preference for M-F day shift schedules, have contributed to the outsourcing issues. Like it or not. We have done some of this to ourselves.
Have been doing MT over 30 years and paid my dues as far as weekends/holidays go, but I am still working a Sun-Thur schedule and find a way to make it work. Have never had a problem flexing my schedule around on a Sunday if something comes up I want to do or take a PTO.
This is a real job and if we are not willing to work when they need us, perhaps they won't need us any more.
Yes, it's true you do not have to work weekends/nights
They let you choose your own work schedule when you start. They use Dictaphone with Word. It takes a bit of patience to get used to what you're supposed to do as far as finding the right visit or if the doctor inputs the wrong work type, etc., but as a program in general, it's simple to use.
Are you requied to work weekends and/or holidays
xx
I work Mon-Fri and occasional weekends as needed but have done this
by choice. I have never been forced to work a weekend. I am a high producer. I don't complain or take up any time of my Lead. I have only had one report rejected ever on this account and it was transposing patient numbers. I double-check now. I started at $1.10 per report, make $1.25 now and $1.81 per report for holidays. I only worked one holiday last year, the 4th of July, because they took volunteers first.
I am FT days but will work in the evenings if needed. Those days I have had 200-250 reports so it was worth it to me, but I try not to so I don't burn out.
It depends on the account. I do not work weekends. nm

I don't work weekends or holidays. MT FOR 10 YEARS
NM
Lots of people work PT on the weekends
as a second job, so no, all full time people don't have to work weekends.
If you want to work the graveyard shift, weekends,
and holidays, then have at it! But don't others to want to do that too. Some of us have a life. This job doesn't pay well enough to go through all that. If they want to pay me as much as a nurse, then I'll work those horrible shifts like nurses do, but not for the lousy wages they pay MTs these days. No thanks. I'll be at the lake on the weekends & holidays and enjoying dinner with my family during the week! You're more than welcome to work the crap shift if that's what you think you deserve.
Me work days, nights and weekends?
No I have worked so long at this now only work part-time and no more slaving like in years past.
Where did I make people that work weekends
feel they are not being Christian or family-oriented? I certainly did not make those direct statements. Please correct me if I am wrong, but where did I post that or what did I say to make you feel that way? That was not my intention. and remember anyone can post as OP. Many of these comments that say OP are not mine. Just clarifying.
Amphion doesn't make you work weekends
or nights. They're a great company, and I hear they're hiring.
If you are very good, the company accommodates you so you don't work weekends
nm
I think you better learn to read better, I didn't say I don't work weekends
I said I get to spend more time with my family by working 3rd shift on the weekends and evenings. I have to work either a Sun-Thur or Tues-Sat shift just like any normal MT who cares about the company they work for and their TAT requirements.
Big time..They usually have the Indians work at night and weekends. It can be frustrating to log in
and have their not be a lot of work on the account your on. The only Escription account that has extra work is the one in which the hospital had them agreed NOT to send their transcription to India. Otherwise, we have to share our work with our partners as they call them.
DARN STRAIGHT... and as soon as the Indians are forced to work weekends,
then I will. I used to have plenty of work for my early morning shift and now none. Why? NOT BECAUSE THE CLIENT DOES NOT HAVE WORK AT THAT TIME......
BECAUSE THE INDIANS TOOK MY WORK. They get to work days and have off nights and weekends becuase us PRIMMA DONNAS are here to suck hiney and say *I will do it cause the client needs it*
WAKE UP!!!!!!! The world is laughing at you. 
Medware's IT dept. obviously doesn't work weekends.No lines count for 2 days. nm
not surprised
That's too bad..I was hoping you were.
To equate a business not hiring remote employees from a particular state with not hiring a particular race of people is ridiculous. You do know there are laws regarding interstate business, right? Do you think they view Californians as a race and they just don't like you so they won't hire you? You would get nowhere with a lawsuit.
They were hoping you would not
:)
I keep hoping...
I have put alot of personal investment into my primary acct. Perhaps others can just pick up a new account and go with it. I am not that way. It takes me anywhere from 3-4 months to really get to know the docs especially when they come up so infrequently that only over a long period of time can you pick them up.
But right now, I am forced to deal with multiple new accounts. Like everyone else who is there, you never overcome your learning curve to maximize production and QUALITY!
But from the few things My supervisor has said, I think it is going to get worse before it gets better. The turn around times for all reports have become so real time that I will never see any pooling of my primary.
Example: This afternoon my supervisor wanted extra people to work tonight because some reports were going to be out of turn around (I mean how can they when there less than 24 hours old?)and the number of reports in my account was 15.
That is what I am hoping.
2 years ago. I am fixing to call and hopefully things will go well. If he asks, I won't lie.
I'm hoping 3.8 will be last. I'm looking at this as
xx
I was hoping
someone would say that, since people have recently posted that we (MTs) are always being negative, but if you are stressed about how you are going to pay your bills then.....also one of them suggesting we find another job.....believe me I am trying to finish school, but it's kind of hard, because some semester I can't get the money to pay for school because you never know how the work is going to flow.........
sorry for being so,negative lol I mean realistic.....
I was hoping for that. TY!

Yep, it's bad. Am hoping it will ...
not last, but I can't take much more. As it is, I am living paycheck to paycheck. I couldn't even get enough work on Saturday, which is my regular day since I work Tue-Sat. I too have mult. accounts. Am looking at getting a part-time job too.
Do you think that they just overhired? Or is it everyone is feeling the crunch and upped their commitment?
That's what I was hoping to do also sm
Get up early Saturday morning, knock out my lines, and get on with my weekend 
I am hoping for better...
Just because another company's speech platform stunk doesn't mean they all do. I am going to try to think positive. I know that won't pay the bills, but I myself cannot go into it dreading the worst or I will get really depressed, and what good is that going to do?
Thanks - I was hoping there was a quicker way
than doing them each individually. Very interested to see the difference. Probably much better at this (as far as line count/day) than I thought, huh?
Hoping someone out there has any info on SPI
Any info would be great. Do they pay on time? How are the supers? etc. etc.....
Thanks a bunch! 
Thank you LTMT!! I was hoping...
to hear good things! I am training on Thursday and I am really hoping this will be my permanent home. Thank you for giving your opinion, it is much appreciated!! Cute doggie!! Have a great day!
I am miserable there and hoping
to get out. I have never made such a low LPH. I was not aware that not being paid for spaces would hurt my production so much, but it has made a big difference. I do like their platform and it was easy to learn, but I still have bills to pay. I used to make 200 to 300 LPH with other companies, make 150 or so with this company. Also they have a program where you can look up previous reports on the same patient or examples of report types or by the same doc, but it always, freezes or goes so slow and I am stuck in my screen. I have heard from some others having this problem. It really slows me down. I am leaving as soon as I can.
OUTSTANDING - and *this* is what I was hoping for
Many people misread my tone and in all fairness tone is hard to read in an email or online.
What my main objective was in posting originally was this: do people just want to complain (justifiably) or do they want to *try* to do something about it *before it's too late*?? Assuming it isn't already too late...
I've had a few private emails and many on the board. Unfortunately, until next week I can't personally do much, but after that I'm more than happy to help an effort get started/organized.
Watch for a website which I'll start specifically for this purpose.
I have *no* idea if a union is possible or a step forward, but as long as we allow our considerable skills to be whittled down to minimum wage level, trust me, corporations will certainly try to go in that direction.
No, corporations aren't evil, per se, and they deserve to make a profit. that said, there's a difference between a profit and a killing.
Later - and HAPPY HALLOWEEN.
I'm hoping I'm wrong, but...
I thought I saw somewhere on TV that by 2009, phones were supposed to be digital? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. I need to ask my boss about this to.
thank you - I'm hoping by summer to
nix the Q alltogether, unless by some miracle things get better. I think my biggest peave with the Q is that stupid time clock. I never wanted FT or benefits, so I don't see why PT with no benefits has to punch a clock. Give me IC any day!
The new company I'm going to only requires me to meet my daily quota on the days I say I'm going to work. If I need off, I just let them know I won't be working that day. No more holidays, no more cesspool and no more TIME CLOCK!
I hope things go well for you at KS. I've heard a lot of wonderful things about them on this board, especially if you want FT and benefits. Good Luck!
