I have barely had work for weeks now, and my one account has been slow for months, in spite of being promised that people would be moved off my accounts to the new ones.  It's very frustrating because I have 3 accounts and the daily emails for weeks now on each account will suggest that the MTs go to the other accounts for work, with none of them having much work.  My paychecks have been very short several in a row now and it's really starting to hurt our finances.

I would like to ask anyone who is having this problem, what type of accounts do you have?  Lanier, C-phone, or internet?  I am just curious if it's a particular type of account.  I have internet accounts.  I was very surprised when the email came out last week from Dorothy saying they were short so many lines and really needed help, because I can barely get work.  I don't know where the busy accounts are.  I would be happy to move to one of the busy accounts to get work, but the only info I have really received is to be patient, they are moving MTs around and it should get better.  It was worse this week, not better, having barely any work at all this week.

I don't want to say anything negative about MDI because I have been very happy there and love the company, but I am very frustrated and concerned.  I don't have a way to make up the money we are lacking week after week.  I also am wondering why they are hiring new MTs rather than moving those of us lacking work to the new accounts.  I just don't get it.

I would like to run across a dictation where I didn't have to wonder what language they were dictating in. Just give me 25% of my present work, cut my line rate by 25% as well, but give me something I can work with. 99% ESLs or native-speaking train-catchers, sleep-walkers, belchers, Uh -- uh .. hmmm ... the patient ...uh ....the patient .... well, they don't pay the rent or feed my kids. 

 If, by some miracle, an actual UNDERSTANDABLE job pops up in an MT's queue, 1 of 2 things happen:  Dictator's cell phone will ring throughout most of the dictation or, if a halfway decent report shows up in the queue ... it's snatched up STAT by the one who has the capacity to do so, wants to get her own lines in on top of a salary, and which dictation job is promptly replaced in the regular MT's queue by a piece of manure.Well they say they have a right to do it just because they can.

There is something wrong when an obvious nut case is a supervisor.  What is a nut case?  A person who lies. 

I formally request that upper management across the board consider reviewing their supervisors by way of anonymous feedback from the MTs under them. 

Scum rises to the top with the cream - regulation keeps the scum from staying in power.  Could we please have some regulations from upper management as the supervisors I am on occasion dealing with show clean signs of not having leadership qualities - I am witness to grown women, grandmothers, professionals who are lying and playing games, and it is not my imagination. 

And this should wake you up because favoritism is taking place and the criteria to be given the best work has nothing to do with an MTs' ability to perform.

Not addressing this will cost you in the end - as the time and energy one utilize when they decide to chose the low road is money lost.  Morale suffers and just like a pyramid, your company will crumble.  India, you say?  Scum is rising to the top there as well.  Comcast has just returned. 

Has everyone in leadership sold out to The Man and The Money?  This is the true sign of decline - When integrity is lacking, word of mouth will wipe you off the map - complacency and true lack of desire to do a good job is the collateral damage when you allow cheaters, liars and thieves to supervisor (lead) us. 

They're already qualified for that, especially if they have 7 kids and no experience at MT any further back than 2003.

You found the time to post a rude followup when it wasn't needed at all. 

I am a newer employee and i get plenty of ESLs and harder to understand dictators.  Some of my reports are hard and i get plenty of reports that are short.  I still manage to be a high producer though.  So what.  It's called work.  The more you do of the harder dictators, the better you get.  The shorter reports you have, you just fly through them and do more. it still adds up if you are diligent and don't stop to whine about it. 

Also, if I am a high producer, I hope that i DO get taken care of by my company.  I am working extra, I am faster, and I deserve to reap some benefit from that.  You wouldn't expect a high school grad and a college grad to get offered the same pay would you?  Why does every one get so upset if a high producer is treated differently?  I just don't get it.

Hi, I'm a newbie and was just wondering if anyone has ever heard of/worked for AccuStat Carolinas?  I think I just got hired...they didn't have me test, I just sent a resume.  Can anyone help?

 I am a newbie, and I came here hoping to gain insight from MTs with years of experience, a little support, and make a few friends along the way.   

People here are too busy being rude, nasty, and trying to

out do one another, and it is sad!

As a newbie, I KNOW I have much to learn, but that does not mean I don't have a clue or a brain in my head. Passing the CS final with a score of 97 on the first try, well, I think I have a pretty good start at it.

While I have much to learn,  I strive every day to improve on my skills,and value advice from those with much more experience. That is not what you get here.

Certain people on here, the same people over and over again, respond to every post on every page , and it is always in a negative manner, and most often down right nasty...why?

At one time each of you were newbies, looking for that first chance, looking for advice , encouragement from others who are more experienced, but it seems you all have forgotten this fact.

It is possible to respond to someone and get your point across without being nasty, rude, insulting .

There is a lot of competition in this business, the bad economy and so many new MTs coming along only makes matters worse.

I enjoy the work, just want to improve, and try to make a decent living. And like I said, I hoped to make a few friends along the way, but that just is not possible. At least not here.

 It isn't about not having thick skin. I have raised 2 kids with health problems on my own, ran my own business for years, my skin is very thick. But,no one enjoys a place where they know every comment they make, question they ask will be met with an insult.

One person on here replied to me many times by email when I asked to hear from anyone who worked for or had worked for a company that had offered me a job, and I of course replied back thanking her for being so nice, for encouragement only to find out she was taking my personal emails to her and passing them along to other people, such as the recruiter at the company that I was thinking of accepting the job offer with...why? Only reason I could think of was to try to cause me trouble before I even got my foot in the door.

I had simply asked the lady how long it took to get set up to begin working, and if the platform they use had a line counter or if I needed my own. She sent my email to the recruiter saying she didn't know how to answer me????

Two simple, basic questions and she didn't know how to answer me? If you have been a MT for several years, worked for a company for several years, and cannot tell someone how long it took you to get set up, and if the platform you use  has a line counter, well, I am sorry but I have to wonder how you have a job.

The recruiter jumped on me saying I was to address all questions to only her, that writing this woman would not speed things  up for me??? I did not ask anyone to help speed things up for me. It was all very strange.

This is just one example of my bad experience here, then every time I come here it is this same nasty junk back and forth from the same people over and over again.

Some of you have nerve to tell others they need to grow up.
