No one is stuck with the worst. The work is not pooled like MQ. It is by account and FIFO. nm

not all accounts are pooled work...

Work not automatically routed/pooled. s/m
On the accounts I am on, I choose the work type that needs to be transcribed first based on TAT. MDI trusts ME to make the right decisions/choices. They don't have to make it for me by pooling/routing all the work.
Getting the worst shift and worst work are two different things...
If you are new, you may not get the best shift, but everyone should share in the difficult work. No one person should be stuck with ESLs because they are new. Maybe the new hires won't get first pick of holidays...things like that, but shouldn't get stuck with all ESLs. Doesn't make sense.
Not the worst account on the planet
Sorry I have dibs on working on the worst accounts on the planet and TT doesn't have any of them. One of THE worst was in Washington DC. Talk about a melting pot... none of the ESLs even spoke the same language. That was followed closely by hospital(S) in South Florida. One advantage to the bad accounts is that once you master them you can do anything and you will never run out of work. As for job hunting, you won't have to hunt a job either, jobs will come hunting you.
Sorry you left TT because of a bad account. I find it hard to believe they wouldn't have worked with you to find something that suited you.  TT may not be for everyone, especially if you require a lot of hand-holding. You can't beat it if you just want to have work to do and be left alone to do it.
Mine didn't seem to work when I had it minimized, so I'm stuck using their own expander, which

How is it that in less than 1 year Medware goes from the best company to work for to the worst?
Let's hope AAMT does a better job of picking the next company of the year!
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.
Worst company to work for. Read the archives and you'll
be hard pressed to find anything good about this company.
Then when we MT's are **thrown on** an account because of lack of work on our account
What is so hard to understand about that?
Then we have that account info filed away in a folder in our Outlook Express by name of account and can look at past emails sent out regarding that account. Not fun to be tossed on an account that you have never seen NOR ever received an email on. Sounds like business to me.
I am stuck at OSi
I tried full time with another company but had issues with their platform and couldn't make my line count so now I'm stuck back at OSi full time and hate every minute of it. I'm too depressed and downtrodden to even keep trying. I feel like I'm in an impossible situation. This has been going on for years and I don't know where to turn. If I make another leap which doesn't turn out I will be in the same boat.
Looks like you are stuck with us.

My account has lots of work..ask for another account/nm

Sorry - that should be "sincerely" - the "c" key stuck on me again!

Way too mny companies for anyone to be stuck

You bit on it, and now you're stuck!
You can't trust everyone in this profession. One day, you'll wake up and realize what you're doing, which is defending someone who obviously knows how to make a buck off of people like you. Have a nice life!
Worst of the worst...I agree with RUN
Please - don't learn the hard way! You will only waste your time and run the risk of not making anything to boot unless you have a relative who is a big city lawyer. Under the sugar coating is something very bitter.
8.5 cpl?? Are you sure it was NE? They've had pay stuck at 7 and 8 cpl for years! nm

It's true that the new MTs get stuck w/ crap
I found that to be true and got nowhere when I asked to be moved. The person who started this thread is making the right decision by leaving and so am I.
Are U new there? Get stuck with an atrocious acct out of NY? nm

Oh my...Ever get a word stuck in your brain...sm
that you know is wrong, but you use it anyway? That is what happened there. How embarrassing.
I have been stuck with companies that subcontracted
I work escription and love the platform, but have been stuck working for a company that subcontracted from I don't know where. I have looked for other companies to work for, but find so many subcontract for the company I work for (who gets the work from someone else) and are connected somehow. How can you find the source company to work for? I would really love to know that. Thank anyone in advane who can answer that. It is very true that the more people who take a piece of the pie before you, get the best pieces, hence more money.
She is stuck in the stone ages and wants to
send everybody to India who prefers the internet to books.
you are ignorant and stuck in the Middle Ages...
VR is not always bad, the bad is that the pay is much, much too low. It should pay the same as straight.
Cherrypicking is when you work from a pool of jobs and being able to reject the worst jobs to those

I saw the writing on the wall a long time ago. Sorry for those who stuck around!! sm
I sure hope you find something soon......my heart goes out to you. Lesson learned, I suppose. When people show you who they really are....believe it.
I was in Fort Wayne so I dont think we know each other. I stuck it out until 2005, SM
pay went down, down, down.

2400 lines, I'm stuck on that number. 8 hours??? I want to see her answer that one.
outstanding account(s) to do this in 8 hours. We had one whole week lately with no work at all, maybe get 30 lines an hour. And it wasn't just our office, people were calling NJ also about not having any work.
And if you are doing quality work, you have to be slowing down to make out the slurrs and bad grammar.
Well, her day will come. When they turn her into an editor, and her accounts dry up into nothing but VR let's see what happens. And her account must be very simple (tasty for VR grabbing), it will disappear.
LOL
Maybe is it for a particular account. I work M-F. You are required to work one weekend an month.
a
I used to work there and know people who still do...they have no work on clinic account but if you
are acute care or have experience in acute care you will be fine...
I work for them, have no problems with the account/work - sm
New insurance plan went into effect - I think it is really good, but that's just my opinion. They send you the equipment. They have incentive. I like it. Can't complain.
What account do you work?
/
Do you work on a VA account? nm
.
Could be the account too, I don't know how they work out their pay...
but maybe it could be based on whatever the account is willing to pay. Not sure!
What account do you work on? My
accounts are rarely out of work.
you must be on the same account I am on. Not enough work
Not making enough money for family.
Don't see how we can be out of work when new account
to protect them, but what about us MT's waiting for work. Interesting when I hit my 3-month anniversary with TransTech, my work disappeared. I am not sure what to think of TT at this time ... No matter how nice someone is -- supervisor, office staff, etc.), if there is no work, WORK is what pays my bills.
So do you work the ER account or
do you work their acute care accounts. He said that the pay is figured differently and that there is no 12-hour window with ER because of the require TAT.
I am just looking for a permanent home where I can stay, instead of signing on and then finding that the line requirement is impossible because there are so many residents, PAs, NPs, and ESLs who are not organized, so leave huge blank areas on the audio or they are constantly saying go back and change, go back and add, etc, that your production is shot. Get a great audio minute count, but they never seem to look at that.
I have a lot of work. I was going to say that maybe it was just your account, but your on 7?? WOW..
I would double check that something funky isnt going on with your work queue. Maybe, it's not opened up all the way you get different work types etc.
I don't work on that particular account but . . SM
right now work is slow on every account.
Wonder if you work on a different account? NM
sssssss
I work that account. It isn't all that bad. sm
I've had worse too.
Any KS on account out of work (sm)
Does that happen very often?
I work for MQ and have 1 ER account. I did
400 lines in one hour last night, straight transcribing, no speech recognition. Unfortunately, it's only an overflow account. When I do my regular 2 accounts, horrible, crappy teaching hospitals with idiot residents who rotate out every 3 months and are replaced with a new group of idiots, I only do about 175 lph. I love ER.
I work on there (if it is the same account). sm
I have been with KS a few years now and this is a great account IMO. Contact JW directly, as she is the lead, and she can help you. If not, call Becky at the office as she is over all the leads.
I'm looking for an account I used to work on.
Is it okay to ask about a specific account on this forum? A couple of years ago, I worked for a known transcription company who serviced an account that I really loved, but I understand that company no longer has the account. Now that I'm looking to get back into transcription, I would love to return to that account--but I don't know the transcription company who has the account at this time. I'm sure some of you must work on it, but is it okay to specifically name a particular hospital/clinic here? TIA.
I am on that account and you can work more than that. sm
Also, they raise your pay on there quickly!
There's no work on the account I'm on,
a backup twice and no answer twice. Luckily (or not) I don't have much of a life and can take 12 hours plus to get my lines in and end up making pretty good money.
Other than that, I'm satisfied working for them, although I've only been there 2 months. Is there a holiday differential? I don't recall hearing anything about that?
Hospital Account Work
Go to mtdaily.com and check on their jobs page. There are numerous. Diskriter has issues; be careful. Of course, all places of employment have those, but some you have to be very careful with. It is great to work at home, and there are some great employers. If you don't need benefits, I'd suggest working as an independent contractor as you can set your own hours. However, if you need more discipline and the benefits, working for a national company might be great for you. Good luck.
