I told her to off this job to someone in India.
Her response was she had people glad to work for 6 cpl with ONLY 5 YRS EXPERIENCE.
She should be able to afford ONLY 9 CPL . You would think anyway.

I was told Escription would not work with Vista. Turned out it wouldn't work with my sm
Office Basic Edition 2003 either, but no one could figure out why, it was supposed to.
There is actually a section on the Dell website that offers Windows XP. I haven't checked it out as I'm not in the market, so I don't know if it costs extra. I have a Dell and it's been fine for me. I hate the ESL tech department, but it seems like most of them have that now.
I work at DRC now and would be glad
respond via e-mail. Been burned severely on these boards before and don't wish to go through that again.
I'm glad you have work
They told me to be patient after four days of no work. Patience doesn't pay my bills!
Be glad, there is no work here. nm

I'm glad someone is getting work.
I've been on since about 8 a.m. and now it is 12:45 p.m. and I have a total of 221 lines.
Glad you have so much work. I
came from TRS, work in 2 platforms, have never been offered work in any of the Transcend platforms and when asked for another account was told no! Have had not enough work available for a while now. 
Glad to know I'm not the only one struggling to get work -- sad. nm

I am glad I work at OSi. Never been happier.(nm)

I'm glad you never run out of work..you must be typing (sm)
a specialty other than ERs. I ran out of work quite often over 8 years but could usually make it up later in the week or in the evenings. MQ also lost several different ER accounts that I typed so that was another reason for no work. Starting in January 2006 after they introduced their rewards pay scale, through July there were days when I typed 3-4 reports when I signed on and then the rest of the day had little or no reports. I constantly asked for more work but MQ told me they had no more ER accounts. I did other basic 4 types but ran out of those as well. I even asked for a Radiology account because I had done Radiology for a local hospital several years earlier. I wish things had been different for me at MQ because they were always flexible with me and I had good benefits there. I planned on staying there for the rest of my career. That was why it took me so long to leave, I thought things would pick up and get better. I'm glad some people still like it there and have plenty of work. I wish that had been the case with me.
Yep. That's why I am glad I work at home. Yet
we have echos of in-house right here, and it sounds very familiar. Ahh, like the old days at the water cooler. Not! LOL.
yes, but I was told as an IC that if work was slow ICs get no work since they are nto employees

Thank you! I am glad to hear that there is clinic work with SM
Wait .. that came out wrong. I'm not glad you don't have work .. just relieved I'm not alo

I work 40 hours a week. I'm glad you're
back to making good money, but I don't feel that I-chart is ripping me off. If I did, I wouldn't stay.
I am glad I work on VR but what kind of line count
are you trying to get. What do you want to make, $ wise or line wise?
I no longer work there … kinda glad now. Sorry to see the changes that have happened. nm

That'd me the day someone told me I HAD to work OT.
MDI-MD told me it would work now. nm

ICs being told when they can and cannot work
With being an IC, the only requirement I had was I had to commit to a certain number of lines per day and they had to be completed between 1:00 am-11:59 pm of any given day. Some tried to pin me down to stating approximately what time I would be working daily, but since I am an IC and I cannot give an hour-by-hour commitment each day, I usually gave them a time frame of when approximately each day I would probably type the work such as anytime after 2:00 p.m. and before 11:00 p.m. However, they do expect you to make your daily line commitment.
An IC CANNOT be told how to do her work. Would

And we're glad you left too. Plenty of work for the rest of us. nm

IC cannot be told I need you to work between 1 and 5 but they can say I need these lines by
:+
You will be told that you can work remote,
And, there are a number of excuses that will be given as to the reason why. Pay is not toooooo bad. Would not go there. There are better jobs out there. Best of luck to you.
I was told there are no more accounts I can work on
and am getting sporadic work. I LOVE this company too, and they pay for down time which is incredible, but the work comes trickling in so I cannot claim no work, but it is just enough to keep me going.
Talking to IRS about how ICs are told to work
I wanted to let you know about what happened when I tried to talk to the IRS a few years ago about a fraud that I knew was happening, had all the information. This pertained to a woman scamming section 8, food stamps, welfare money (living with a guy with a city job yet claiming no money). Her children came to live with me for 2 years. I took total care, housing, food, etc. with no money from her. I claimed the kids on my income tax for those 2 years and come to find out her boyfriend also claimed the children on his taxes (remember when at home they were on all kinds of welfare and he probably was claiming them then- this is against the law and called double dipping). I got information from a tax preparer at my home, not mine, wanting to know if filing and called the place, found out he had claimed them in the past and then I contacted IRS. Oh, I also got notice from IRS that I was one of 2 filers who had claimed the kids! I had all the social security numbers, names, birthdates, all that I needed. This scamming on their end went on for several years and do you think anyone interested or would talk with me? Nah, nothing. No one contacted me or their parent. When I see the rah-rah about turning these companies in I am reminded of what I tried to do with just wasting my time in the long run.
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. 
When I asked about less and less work, I was told
that no MDI work is being done by Transcend because they have no access to the MDI platforms / clients. It was suggested that the economy may be taking its toll.
I am glad to hear that a lot of money can be made with MT work. This gives me hope for the future.

How do you get to work for both. Spheris told me it was conflict for me to have another job.
Especially with a national company. They wouldn't even talk to me about why I should leave MQ for them as long as I worked for their competition. How did you swing both jobs. I know MQ doesn't have a problem with me taking another position but Spheris was anal about it.
What?? they have asked you to work the account but never told you how much your pay is??
Sounds strange to me.. They would make me nervous as that should be the first thing they discuss.. or at least that is what I would want to know right off before I wasted my time with them.
I work on one that does not need high speed but have been told sm
that there are very few like that.
I was told when they needed help and that is when they expected me to work
so it is possible she was told what days and times, as that is pretty much what they said to me. Then work was never available during that time slot and so I opted to move on.
I was hired for 3rd shift and was told there was plenty of work
i was given 4 accts and still don't make money - that is all i am saying
H. told me the work was going back in house for some of the doctors. nm

I don't work there, but someone told me they don't have sick/PTO time. Yuck. NM
NM
No experience, but was told that work is assigned, no pools, and it's still 8cpl as an IC. nm
s
I wasn't hired for 1 work type, but told them I like OPs so that is what I am assigned. When I r
out of ops, I usually stop unless we are out of TAT on other jobs because I do not want to take other people's work. I do not think I should get paid less for that.
Where I work I was told I had to get them in or be put back to PT status and lose benefits. nm

I am so glad, so very glad that finally I have reached
the age that if we are low on work, I just take off. No problem at all and love the extra day or so off. I now have worked since the 70s and finally made to retirement age, get SS plus other retirement money coming in and thank the good Lord do not have to worry about if there is work or not. BTW, when I worked inhouse never ran out of work ever, only when transferring out to company do they run out of work. If I had to raise a family now I would most certainly cross train on other accts at my place but only have 1 that I work on, by choice.
yeah - they haven't told a couple of hospitals that they are offshoring their work - but I think

Well, when I purchased my computer tech support told me Vista would not work...sm
They said that it would work but it would cause a lot of problems because of the way the hot keys are setup on the Vista. They advised me against getting a computer with Vista. So it was very hard for me to find a computer that did not have Vista this year because everything had switched over. I bought a used one!!!! Just so I could avoid problems with my work.
I don't know if this helps or not. Just letting you know what I was told. Good luck!
but mgmt told me they outsourced some work to a small company at times.
There is no reason for me to lie about this.
I am NOT talking about offshoring, but the company whom they outsource to may offshore . . . I have no idea about that. But straight from the horse's mouth, they have outsourced to a small MTSO before.
You can notice how the work dries up all of a sudden when they turn it over to the service and we have no work.
TT mgmt may not tell that they outsource today, but they definitely told me about 9 months ago when I asked when the work was low. From the way the jobs disappear occasionally, I think it happens quite often.
I don't hesitate to ask. Have been told "yes", and have been told "no." Never been to

Thanks! I'm glad to hear that, I didn't think anyone used it anymore! I'm glad to hear so
I'll definitely check them out!
Do you work in-house here? I applied last August & was told in-house only and they weren't

we will be glad to use our

I'm glad I could help.
I am an MT, before I get accused of being in a managerial position.
YW...glad I could help :)
I'm glad I'm not the only one
When I was hired two years ago, I gave a set schedule as an SE (with every intention of following it), but right from the beginning I had to adjust it because of no work being available. Since then, I pretty much do what I want to. Thank goodness I work for a good office and they don't bother me much, but all the talk about the changes coming are worrying me. If they make me work a set schedule, I may just fly the coop, because I know there will never be work available during my shift.
