I've been on OT all but 2 days the past 4 months. If work is slow
that just means we get a chance to get caught up with TAT. Get paid for downtime too if no work.
Transtech has great people but work has been low for 5 months...nm

RE: I've been with Transform for 2 months and so far, so good. Nice people to work with, (sm)
pay is on time, direct deposit, etc.
Was slow for months - now picking up but not hiring
Focus Infomatics is slow too -- 3 months after the fact.
.
Depends on the account. Work on VR lately has been slow. Just like all companies, we have slow times
Honestly though, I have only had 2-3 times in the past 2 years where it was like the other day...no work... It did pick up later but I just think it's important not to make someone think we're overloaded with work all the time. That would not be fair to them if they end up with high expectations.
Slow, as in a lot of people on nm

TransTech and low/no work for months and months _ don't think there are continous holidays LOL
This HORRIBLE low/no work situation has been going on at TT for almost a year now. You can't convince me it is due to Memorial Day. Are holidays now assigned in this world to being daily.
That is an excuse these companies use in these no work situations, but it is due to their OVERHIRING. Holidays just come on a daily basis, but LOW WORK/NO WORK is happening and has happened going on a year now at TransTech. Always asking to flex into the middle of the night, EVERY weekend, etc.
The TT mgmt checks are NEVER affected, tho, so they can continue to HIRE EVERY MT who gives them a call, and create a NO WORK situation for all of us. The newbie MT's are cheering at first, but then realize that it hit them in the paycheck, too, and very soon it did!!!!!!!
LOL! Yep, people are thrilled with system that is slow and
xx
I agree. Have people not learned its always slow after a holiday?!

This is a really sad state when after months people

I think in the last few months, lots of MQ people have gone there. SM
A few ex-YOGGERS have been there for awhile, but some aren't there anymore. The ESL accounts at YOG, where I used to work, are NOTHING compared to FN. Not even close.
I worked there a few months ago. People very
nice, but disorganized. Kept losing my work. Sound files were really bad, only worked on one account so it could have been just that account. Platform so/so, but looking at upgrading within the year and I don't know what platform.
They are a fairly small company, I think less than 50 MTs.
You have to use their puter, do 1200 lpd at a low rate, and they're slow and nasty getting people

My company has been low on work for months and months..sm
Tired of getting the same ol' message that things will pick up. I remember the days of bonuses, making money and being able to pay my bills! I am also wondering what is going with these companies not having work. Is everybody sending work overseas?
There are a lot of people who do and it seems that most love working there. I started 6 months ago
and have no complaints at all. It is refreshing to work for a company that treats employees as individuals, not just a number. I also like that they do not send work offshore and that I only have one main account. I do have 2 back-up accounts, but have never worked on them after training. I am lucky that my main account is very busy, too busy most of the time!
I thought there were posts a few months ago saying they laid off 50-some people. nm
Too bad they got rid of Indian team leads. My US team lead is the worst.
I work here too but you must be on a different team. sm
I haven't had a full paycheck in 2 years, day shift is overstaffed and I don't have the option of working other hours; excuse me, flexing. BUT, I wouldn't work anywhere else. Good bennies unless you live in BFE like I do, then there are no providers on the insurance but that can be worked around; don't get sick. Seriously, it's a good place to work compared to what I read on this site. They provide equipment for free, PTO is a good rate as long as you're working, and they won't hassle you if you don't make the minimum lines because work's low.
opppss meant purple team, not red team.
Sorry, I meant the purple team.
I work for company that has team leaders and
they are the worst cherrypickers of the bunch, biggest whiners of all, and they get away with it because they tell the boss daily how wonderful she is.
I'd ask your team lead. She would know but I will tell you that we're already out of work toda
guess everyone wanted the bonus. I find it sad that we'll get back logged because no one wants to work a regular schedule, yet come a holiday bonus, and everyone is obviously working. It's too bad we couldnt have that bonus rate as a standard. You'd see a lot more motivated people in this business. Most of us are burned out on pounding the keyboard all day and gain so little. I guess so much for a holiday bonus when there is no work. Kind of defeats the purpose..Oh well...I'm vented for today.
I have 4 accounts, doing all work types, and I usually have enough work but this is the slow time of
year so we are scrambling a little for lines. Easy platform, paychecks DD, always on time.
Who said people who work for KS aren't happy for people who work for (sm)
other companies? I'm happy for people who are happy with their jobs, no matter what company they work for.
yes, but I was told as an IC that if work was slow ICs get no work since they are nto employees

You must be slow, so VR will work for you.
Personally, I could not live on 13.50 an hour, or 12 an hour or some other equally low rate of pay. That is not even typing 200 lines an hour, and if you are so experienced, you certainly did not work on your speed skills. Your editing speed is just as slow, obviously.
VR will only help people like you who are very slow at transcribing. It is not going to help those who work much faster.
IBM selectric? I knew people who could transcribe 2000 lines a day on those things. Think what they did when computers came in.
Your post is confusing to me. Yes, I use an expander and a computer,and I get paid for my work because I did the input. I am also going to have to do the input for VR but that will pay half of what I make now. Forget it, sista, I am not an idiot. And I have yet to see an ADT feed that worked without glitches.
Like I said, you sit under your mushroom, let the owner and management make money off you while you sit there and work for a rate of pay that won't allow you to buy peanuts or popcorn cuz those are luxury items on your rate of pay.
slow work
I know three gals in the same boat. Love the company... hope I don't have to find a new one!
slow work
Is this usual. Wondering if to start looking again.

Slow work
Same here, only out of work a couple of times since I starte for TT in August. By far, I am much happier with them than my previous employer.
Work slow!!!!
Is anyone else having a hard time with work right now. The company I work for is sooo slow I am bearly getting 350 lines a day! I think they may have overhired back when they were swamped in Sep. Not sure if I should look somewhere else or try and stick it out. Any suggestions?
Believe it here, work has been very slow
Again, I ask what accounts/types you are on that you have so much work, because my accounts have had little to no work at all for weeks now, and one has been slow for months. I would be willing to move to one of these busy accounts that are always being spoken of, but don't know what to ask for because nobody will actually name these very busy accounts. Thanks!
work slow down
Is anyone having problems with work slowdown with Imagestat?
Work is slow and sm
while I am not having a problem, many are. It is only employee status, generally only full time and you will have to work a weekend day, we all do. They offer nice insurance and it is not too expensive, but you have to maintain at least 11,000 lines AND 80 hours every 2 weeks to keep it. Some of us are struggling, though I know I am not. I will tell you that folks who work 2nd or 3rd shift have plenty of work.
All in all, it is an excellent company with wonderful people. I don't want to work for anyone else, EVER.
Work slow down
My supervisor assured me this happens at this time of year and I tend to agree, and she is really good about letting me make up time. I do wonder about how many folks they hire, but I know we are going to get more customers. I have asked to be considered for those accounts.
Work has been slow lately, but...
I was able to take on more secondaries and that did help the situation, so still able to make my lines. They're a pretty decent company, probably the best I have worked for in about 10 years. My main complaint is no salary increase after several years of working there, as if the economy hasn't changed dramatically in the last few years. MTSOs just aren't keeping up with today's economic demands and they most certainly do not pay according to experience (are there any companies even hiring at 10+ c/l anymore? If you know of any, please let me know). Let's face it, VR is a joke and only created for their benefit, not ours. They created it to avoid having to give out real raises. By the time you finish formatting/editing these stupid VR reports, you might as well have typed it. It makes me often contemplate jumping ship but there's really not a whole lot out there these days to move on to when no one is willing to pay based on how much experience you have.
I don't think so. Work is really slow right now. You can
apply through the website and someone will contact you if they are hiring. No new accounts on the horizon that I am aware of.
I work for MDI-FL and the account I am on has been slow *sm*
for over a month. I will not make enough this past pay period to cover the cost of long distance and my Internet connection. I know they have other accounts that are behind that you can work on but I personally feel the account I am working on is so slow because they overhired on it. Why did they not put those extra people on one of the accounts that is consistently backed up? I am in the process of testing for employment elsewhere. Other than this recent issue with no work/overhiring, I have always been happy with MDI. I will be sorry to leave but I am sure that the others working on the account will be happy to see me go as it will be one less person taking their lines.
Lately work has been slow on Mondays, because there has been
OT the last several weeks so numbers are low to start with and lately there have been some kinks with the downloads from the accounts, but when work comes in there is a bunch. Usually by Wednesday at the lastest there is plenty of work and by Thursday they are offering OT on acute care accounts and there is enough work to work 24/7 if you wanted to.
I have been pretty good about sticking to my schedule, have been late a couple of times by under 15 minutes and I really expected someone to say something to me based on past posts, but so far it hasn't been an issue.
It really is a good place to work. There are a few sour pusses and I don't discount their experience because I've had a few bumps along the way, but there have been posts from people who were let go because they weren't making their line requirements (per them) and they still have nice things to say about the company.
Nobody said slow down. They said work your own shift. If everyone worked when they

Not at all. It tends to be a slow season but I have plenty of work.

Actually there was a slow period, but LOTS of work now - nm

Ask them to try you on dial-up. It may be slow but if it is stable, it should work. sm
I do know that there are a few versions of Meditech, Chartscript and ExText that do not work with dial-up, but that still leaves a lot of options open! Good luck to you!
Not out of work here...it was a slow start yesterday
but it picked up in the afternoon and evening.
Transcend advertising for help and slow work for you.
They will help you to find an account to keep your fingers flying. I would just hazard a guess that you might have to ask for an account on another platform but your team lead is the one to help you. They are the ones to rattle the cages.
Work is generally slow all around. Easter
is early, plus spring break in lots of places. I've been on OT for the last 2-3 weeks and ran out of work yesterday and probably will today too. Enjoy it while you can.
Knowing that the only time work is slow is during
is wonderful and I will flex my schedule any time to keep my job at Transtech.
No - it is not always slow! Depends on the company and hospital. I have never been slow this time
Slow time is usually in September when everyone is back to work/school from the summer months.
Been doing this 24 years and never slow this time of year. Actually, I am drowning in work - can't keep up.
I think work is typically slow this time of year sm
and I am surmising they are not wanting a backlog to build because a lot of MTs are also taking time off for the holidays leaving a skeleton crew on some accounts. I am sure it will all be busier than ever in a week or so. I have been able to get my line counts and then some everyday so far. Everywhere I have ever worked gets a little slow towards the holidays.
Slow start yesterday - out of work for about 1 hour -

I work at Webmedx. The slow issues are being worked on. SM
they have the best QA department, the best benefits out there (and affordable), the best bosses. I know the slow issues are a pain but they will be fixed by the solution center. They have fixed many things in the past.
