before it is taken by those that can (and we/they know whom we mean).  I notice I can have a handful of manure in my queue & it'll stay there until tomorrow.  But a good, easy jobs hops in - it's gone in a flash.  The Leads claim they have the right to do this JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN.  But how fair is it that they have the power to completely control our work flow - pick the best for themselves.  Don't forget, they're also SALARIED on top of what they can scrounge off the MTs, who aren't. 

The last few times my queue jobs suddenly went poof - I confronted the party involved but was given all kinds of lame excuses. (I also cc'd mgmt with the e-mail, as if that made any difference.)  There's one that's especially vicious in doing that. Her new ploy is (we're usually assigned about 3 jobs in our queue - so when I find 4 -  well, that last one was put there so I wouldn't notice her taking out another one I already had & planned on next.  BECAUSE I'M SO DUMB & SHE'S SO SMART! RIGHT?  This is maybe my biggest peeve with this co.  Even at the Q- I always made my lines in less time - 1 job popped up at a time - automatically.  Nobody to do reverse, electronic cherrypicking to her own greedy advantage. But these evil beaches know they're in the cat's seat, that they've got it made. 

I meant Transcription Solutions

Have read archived posts about their software being not user friendly.  Is this still true?

Sorry! I didn't see further on down that moderator had said no posts on OSi for some reason. Guess I missed something that was deleted.

I believe that a should be an e in privilege  

I am sigining off and going to bed. 

My bad.  I failed to proofread.  Meant to say:

Trust me when I tell ya that you actually will receive many, many more than 10 unpaid days off per year.  They won't pay you to sit at an empty queue, so most of us just take those days off...
