Who are you referring to that has no work??

don't like ASR/VSR -- all work going that direction -- causing very low work situation for awhile
Just a little message since you asked.  Hardly any regular paid transcription work left for TT MT's (transcribing as in the old days, I am speaking of).
Maybe they are referring to other work types
H&Ps and consults are still H&Ps and consults wherever you go. As you know, each facility will have specs, any differences (should there be any) would be listed there. The company you were talking to might have been referring to OPs, cardio and specialty procedures more so than the basics. Just an idea. I would not let that company get you down. With that much experience, you'll get a job easily enough. Good luck to you. God Bless.
They work with you to make sure you get the lines required or the amount of lines you want...
I have never had a problem getting more work
tell new job where you work and situation, am sure will
asdf
Get used to the out of work situation as it is getting worse.

Keystrokes work situation
I work on an ortho account...maybe just depends which account you get. Sorry not working out so well for you.
What's the work flow situation at TransHealth these

Is everyone in the Amherst office being run out of work or how are they dealing with this situation
if you are out of work. Anyone with any experience with this at Amherst that can shed some light on what to expect at this office from what you have experienced. Thanks.
made type -- SO UPSET OVER TT and their NO WORK situation way TOO LONG now

sorry about type, but very, very upset with the TT has lost any concern/care for their MT's who make their paychecks for them.  Dictatphone doesn't pay you your salary, nor pay for your raises.  Your MT's allow your paychecks the remain the same and allow you to give yourselves RAISES.


Leads/sups, etc are transcribing OUR WORK now and we have none to little no paychecks to pay our bills.


You who are thinking of hiring on with TT better give some very consideration to your decision.  GOOD ADVICE.


Transtech no work situation putting me in the Salvation Army food line?

This is utterly ridiculous -- NO WORK/LOW WORK.  It is not even the holidays yet.  D. giving the title of an email Census does not make that the reason for the low/no work situation at Transtech!  There are other reasons OTHER THAN CENSUS.  That is so sickening all the time.  The greatest need of us MT's is honesty from their employer --- from the very beginning of employment to the end!


Even a child could see through their excuses for NO WORK. 


1200 lines daily is great if you have the work, personally, I never had enough work so
I left and have NEVER been sorry!
NO WORK at Transtech -- did no good to work the holiday for 1.5 lines, did it?
I am sure the office staff will share their PAID HOLIDAY MONIES with us who sit here with no work.  This has gotten to be such a frustrating profession.  I guess I need to relocate to Houston so that I can work in the office, too, and reap those wonderful paid benefits that us at-home piecemeal workers do not get.
Webmedx - low work ? Can you make up lines when work available (sm)
or do you have to schedule a make up time or just do without the lines? 
Can only get lines if there is work and that has been
a rarity lately, but they still keep advertising for more help.
Yep, but be sure to ask how many have to work 40 anyway to get their lines. nm

I'd just like to have some work!! I ran out after only 172 lines! UGH! nm
x
Where do you work making all those lines?
nm
IC cannot be told I need you to work between 1 and 5 but they can say I need these lines by
:+
Do you have enough work? 1000 lines a day?
I have read on some of the threads that there is not enough work to keep everyone busy.
If you can't get your lines because of lack of work what
good is it going to do to pay a bonus based on lines produced.   I'm not dumb enough to be fooled by that ploy. 
What crap! I get my lines in and they ask me to work
extra all the time.  There is no way to indicate OT, just total lines, at least on my accounts.  Everything I say can be documented.   You need to get your facts straight before you start throwing that BS around.
If you ask for more lines, they'll work with you (NM)
:D
Where I work we were told we HAD to get our lines in - sm
So right now many of us have been camping out at the computers fighting for every line we can get.  Not sure I am going to last much longer at this pace. 
How many hours in a week do you normally work to get your lines in?
Just curious. I work 50-plus hours here to make it work for our family, would love to cut back
Is it hard to get lines at Precyse? Does work run
nm
2000 lines per day, what kind of work are you doing? nm
xx
You will work many hours over 40 to meet your lines nm
nm
Which means you can get a lot of lines by doing shoddy work? nm

How do you get your required lines if there was no work at DSG or Keystrokes. Is
that a problem with them if there is no work or what do you do.  Thanks!
Beyond Text doesn't work long enough to allow you to get any lines. nm
nm
Poster means work any possible time you can to get in your lines.
x
Can you say where you work where it's so easy to make your lines? All I come across is crap out
s
Just wondering - how many hours do you normally have to work to make your 500 lines? Thanks! NM
NM
Even if you're FT, you'll be lucky to have enough work to get your lines,
x
I work on Scribe...very easy to get lines in my opinion...
money is also decent...
Nice people to work with. Lines never added up though.
I couldn't tell you about the benefits because I was part-time and didn't need them at that time. They use Dragon MT as their platform. I personally didn't like it.
Very neg. posts about TH - running out of work, getting nasty when you don't make your lines. TC
s
Keystrokers - do you work in Word - Can you use ShortHand - How many lines for fulltime? Thanks
nm
Good luck, I think everyone enjoys the lines from psych work. (nm)

When you run out of work doyou have to make up lines/hours to keep bennies? (nm)
,
2000 lines, I havent done that in years. What work type do you do? nm
xxxx
I work that, had TONS all day long, never ran low got to 1500 lines WITHIN my shift too. nm
nm
If you are doing 2400 lines in an 8 hour day, working 5 accounts +, running out of work on all 5,

then pray tell us how you are doing it.  I certainly would like to share this with MQ because I also have done this many years, know my work, and there is no way to do 2400 lines because most days all the accounts are out of work.


listening


Who here is required to type 1800 lines on a daily basis for FT work?
x
Well, what do they do when people dont meet their required lines due to no work. Most ridiculous
thing I ever heard of.  Overhire and then I expect MTs are to work 24/7 to get in required lines.  Nothing like making a total fool out of people.  Hardly worth making minimum wage now is it.
Prior complaints of low work loads and only short reports, so struggle to get lines. How about
s
Medware's IT dept. obviously doesn't work weekends.No lines count for 2 days. nm
not surprised
