Just dont ever forget the work that goes to India and other countries. I guess they will be doing
weekends etc. I am sure MQ has this all very nicely figured out.
The answer is NO! Things are no better.

So what is the problem with these NE people. No one is happy with the way they run things and I dont
see it getting any better. I think the NE people better start rethinking their plans because they sure aint working up thar in New York.
Or dont offer unasked for info. Only answer

Simplistic answer. I dont personally give $. What

I guess Amherst, NY and Ohio but I dont know the 3rd one.

Thank you both. I guess I was just wondering what happens with companies when you dont
get your lines in. It seems like a lot of places are running the MTs out of work. I didnt mean Keystrokes had no work I was just wondering what happens like at DSG when you dont get lines. Do they fire MTs for that reason if there is no work. I was just curious since you both worked at DSG and I hear other MTs at other companies saying the same thing so what happens in that case.
Well, I guess that's ONE of the things...
...I wanted to know! You've been there 6 months? And you like it? Great! I was thinking of applying. Their website is not as professional looking as the others (but I know that doesn't always mean something bad!). I just hadn't heard the name bantered about much. I tried to do a search but came up with bupkes.
Do they pay well? Are they nice to work for? Can you work part-time as an IC for them? And anything else you want to tell me, I'd appreciate! Thank you!
I dont answer the mass emails she sends out. What bothers me is we are not anywhere
near out of TAT and she just then sends out these mass emails and everyone piles on and runs the account out. Then when you get a few more reports she does it again. It just keeps going on like that. I have no idea what the problem is. I dont acknowledge the emails at all I just cant get a grip on why someone would function like that. It is almost like she isnt happy until she runs the account out and then expect all the ICs which we are to sit around until it comes back in and then be at her beck and call. It seems to be getting worse and worse lately with this. She has taken the word control to extremes especially with ICs. She expects you to let her know if you are going to move your butt of your computer for a half hour. I just dont get it but it gets extremely old I must say.
Guess you got your answer, huh?
Good grief.
Guess we can't answer this.
I didn't think I said anything bad about Spheris. I just stated what I liked and didn't like about this company, but my post was removed. I guess I won't bother posting on this board anymore. I am not going to waste my time and then just have it deleted. Good luck on finding any true info about Spheris on this board Sherry as it seems we can't post about it here.
I dont know what that means. I am an SE. I dont sit and wait for work I come back in when it is
there so I never had to deal with Amherst when there was no work because I just stopped working and did other things. My feeling is if this doesnt work there are other jobs out there.
If I cant make QA, dont give me work. Dont dock

sorry dont give out my email address but happy to answer questions here
I guess you got your answer when you don't hear from them.
Were they advertising?
So I guess she couldn't answer the questions?
 MTs do yourself a favor and don't put up with this. We are BETTER and deserve MORE than this!!! We shouldn't allow someone else to profit off of our work. Make sure you ask the company if they are supplying MTs for a bigger company and taking part of YOUR line rate.
I guess I see things differently, as I do not know what all of the hoopla is about not paying OT. sm
And Keystrokes is not the only company that doesn't pay OT. Transtech doesn't pay for it either, although they encouraged it when I was there. I was actually chastised once for putting down my real hours on my time sheet, telling me that I know better. However, it didn't bother me then and doesn't bother me now as I am just grateful to be able to work as much as I want to get the line count that I want/need. It is not slave labor -- no one forces me to work the extra hours. I do so of my own free will.
I have had some health issues and other things, and my line count with Keystrokes has been awful, yet they have been patient and caring, and I am grateful to be working for them. I realize I will probably get flamed, but that's okay. My opinion is just as valid as anyone else's, and I decided to speak up in favor of a company that has been good to me.
"How to avoid your child while you work"
I had forgotten about that. I was so disgusted about the other OSi tactics but that little jewel was in the back of my mind. My baby means everything to me and I will avoid OSi while I work is the bottom line.
you work there dont you? You tell us

Dont even work there
Hi,
I worked there for few months and realized that its not a good place to work at all. Specially the Owners of the Company is the biggest problem to work there as he is not a professional at all. They are loosing clients recently and not good to go there
I dont work for MDI-FL but I would certainly hope
that the rude poster below does not work for them. I would not want to work with people that rude. The original poster just asked a question, isnt that what these forums are for???
hope you dont run out of work-- nm

Dont work there but you know they arent doing
sfd
Oh I wonder what happened to those MTs then. Dont they have work now. Are all the
MTs running out of work. I wouldnt think many are happy if there is not enough work. I know I am not.
I dont work for this company, but I do want to say...
I read all of the replies to your question so far, and it is nice to see all the support from your coworkers. All had very thoughtful and well thought out replies. Must be a nice company to work for, and I think you are fortunate to work there.
Good luck improving your line count.
Why dont you do the work for 6 cpl and keep all the profit for yourself but
I expect you cant do it so you try to hire people for 6 cpl that can do it. I bet you didnt get hundreds of applications this time.
Agree, lol. I dont even work there & I can tell
ed
If you think you dont get more of the junk work when it is picked over by VR or ASR you had better
think again. The best attendings will be gone to VR and you will get the leftovers. I have been doing both for a year and I can guarantee you your CEO is full of it. Dont believe a word of it. You will either make less money on ASR or less money on the leftovers. Take you choice.
I dont work for TransTech, but I have noticed that too. nm

I read somewhere that certain routers dont work with VPN. SM
I believe it was a certain Linksys brand.
I would like to go wireless too.
Just curious, where do you work if you dont mind my asking. nm

Well, seems to me if you work you dont get paid eithr - sm
I do understand the dilemma, but honestly, start looking for a job that does pay during this period. I know of many companies that unfortunately play games with your pay and I've been watching one do this for five years now and remarkably he is still in business because while he does eventually make good on his promise to pay, he wreaks havoc on those who work for him constantly. People like this should be shut down, but as long as his contractors keep playing along with him, he will continue.
I dont think you will make more than that for clinic work.
I make 10 cpl at the Q, but have been there 12 years and was at that rate when my prior company was bought out.
There are people who make that, but not for clinic work and probably not for just starting at a company. I have been applying like crazy and the best I came up with was 8 cpl for Basic 4 and 9 cpl for straight OPs.
Thats 15 years experience.
You have to wonder if the supervisors that dont care about no work are always
getting new MTs because they quit all the time.
my antidepressants dont even work anymore.

Dont work there but noticed few weeks ago they
e
I dont cherry pick, never did. I dont do that to my coworkers on my account.
What is the new status. I dont understand what it means. I dont need their benefits nor do I want
them.
I just dont want to hit that extra space if I dont get paid for it, ya know. No message.
nmnmnm
Dont bother. Not enough work to go around. People are quitting.
I guess at this rate, they may be hiring if everyone ends up quitting due to lack of work. They will come on here and state that we should just call the office and you will get put on another account. That is a joke. We have all tried that and you get ignored.
DSG IS MY WORST COMPANY VOTE... DONT WORK THERE...
I agree, they are unprofessional and rude. They throw you into a pool that they have overhired for and there is not enough work to go around... then they cry and complain when youre not hitting your production. They set impossible standards.... unless youre a brown-noser, in which case, see those peoples posts as the ones who would say anything positive about DSG. Its like the movie Mean Girls, and the mean girls are running the show there.
Yep. couldnt tell you excited we were to find out why we dont hardly have any work. Obviously, it is
going elsewhere and so are we.
Most facilties want their work for cheapest, dont care

Why do AAMT have hand on MY check? Dont work
x
TT management does not answer questions that you ask them; only answer those they want to answer.
I know, work for a long time and tried asking questions, but they just beat around the bush and don't answer the true question that you presented to them.
Maybe it is kite flying weather where you are !!!
Medware does not pay correct? How so, you can email me too.. I dont want to work where they screw up
your check.. Thanks for any help...
If your hired at an hourly rate and you run out of work, then you dont get paid anything??
Just saying, you worked a total of 3 hours one day, ran out of work for two hours, then for that day you only get paid 3 hours? That would suck and it wont pay my bills.
Can you saying..work going to India.. I knew you could. All we get is the awful stuff. Why dont they
send that garbage to the folks in India to do. They have about as much chance of being able to do it as we do.
I didnt get the packet, do we have to take their insurance if we dont need it. I dont want it. Wish
I would have gotten the stupid thing to read.
Have things gotten better at Amphion? Is there work now? nm

How are things going with Futurenet? Is there still no work> sm
Futurenet work has slowed down majorly. Has anyone else's picked back up yet? I thought we had new accounts coming on? If so, are they are going to hire some people? Does anyone know what we can expect?
