Well, this Prima Donna is going to bed (sm)
Have a wonderful evening ladies. Going to get some sleep and then work in the a.m. 
A 3-day weekend every weekend? Wouldn't that be nice. Good luck with that!..nm

Prima Donnas
I have been in this business for 30+ years -- I posted regarding my company and the fact that it is ONE hospital, set of doctors so on and so forth I am really getting fed up with I don't want to work weekends holidays et cetra -- We have grocery clerks, Target and Wal Mart workers that work weekends and holidays and they do NOT piss and moan -- hmm think about running to the store for milk -- this newer generation is SO spoiled -- I want it NOW but dont wanna work for it -- g*d OBAMA IS GONNA SUPPORT -- yeah right -- might be time to get off the horses and work 12-15 hours a day then days off
Wow take a prozac
You need help. It never hurts to send your resume, ever. Who knows, perhaps the person they hired didn't work out and they needed more help. Instead of posting the ad again they can go through their resume file. Like the above poster said, that would be the smart thing to do.
prozac is not XanaX
Thanks for the credit, but there are more than one of us out there who were treated unjustly at FN. If the truth hurts--- Me think thou doth protest too much.
Yeah, and Prozac controls your lunacy! I don't know where
you get this idiotic nonsense, but Dictaphone controls nothing of TransTech. You are obviously just another bitter old hag who has gone off your meds.
good people who all go to Hawaii while making you work every weekend. nm
....
This was Monday when they contacted me. I realize it's the weekend. Good Grief! nm

Very good company. Incentive pay for production plus shift and weekend differentials. sm
Their platform is stable (proprietary, I've been on it for about a year and a half now). Pay is always on time. Good support staff. Their insurance changed this year. Plenty of work. They don't overhire on their accounts from what I can see. If anything, there is always plenty of work, which I like because I can hop on outside of my regular shift and get some more lines. Now that they pay extra for weekends, I like to pick up some extra hours then.
Only those Good/Happy Friday emails to try to keep us from searching for jobs during the weekend
TT throws out a *line* on Friday emails, hoping that we will bite. TT mgmt does not know what to do now ! I truly believe that !
I'm not sure that they will make it through this, if Dictaphone has taken away some of the Dictaphone accounts works and dividing it out among other Dictaphone customers.
I don't see a pretty picture at Transtech anymore. Don't say that I am just a negative person; what is pretty about it?
When a new MTSO signs on with Dictaphone, they are going to give them work from somewhere, and I believe it is from TransTech.
I am so disheartened by all this with TT. 
Promises for new work coming onboard is exactly what one poster said -- more Dictaphone overflow accounts! Not enough work for ALL the MT's TransTech has hired within the past few months.
Yep...another Donna here too
lol
SORRY DONNA!!!
You did not say anything harsh. Please accept my appology!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you, Donna :-)
Thanks for your kind words, Donna. It just infuriates me when people take their misplaced anger out on innocent people using the forum as they are supposed to.
Thanks for your support! :-)
Heads Up.. there is more than ONE Donna :)
Wish Donna could see what effect it has sm
on our workload when she's typing away off shift. Too bad we can't come on during the day and snag all her work.
You must have read my mind, Donna. I was just about to
post the same question as I am job hunting and don't know where to start. TIA for all responses!!
TO DONNA AND LONG TIME MT
I hate to burst your bubble, but I am a good MT and in demand. I graduated from Andrews School, which is the best in the business and have been told that my work is beyond and above MTs that have been in this field for many years. I have a total of 5 years in this business, but have become disenchanted with it. Both of you have a right to your opinions, but do not assume I am not a good MT because I am leaving this field. I am a highly skilled MT with many offers on the table, I want to get out because I do not like the way this field is heading, and I believe if you show up for work, on your scheduled shift, then work should be available. Work being available when I have agreed to a specific shift is the problem, but also no work being available unless I sit on the computer all day is also a problem. Thanks for your negative opinions, but I am a good MT.
Hey, Donna D. asked a question and I gave an answer...
so why don't you smite Donna D. for keeping the thread going. 
Wasn't Donna bullying Webmedx? I was just sharing my opinion.

THE WEEKEND IS HERE
Is everybody working this weekend. We need everyone to be working because THERE IS NO WORK. 
1 weekend day is okay, but
requiring both is a little much. No matter what schedule I work, usually with 1 weekend day, I get pestered to work all 7, or to do 2 or 3 hours over the 8 to 10 I did already. Some of these companies would have no problem having you sit at your keyboard with an an IV bag attached to you. :)~
I weekend
I am not surprised at all.
I can and I will this weekend....
You can send me one too....let me know how it's going so far.
Is it usually weekend OT -- sm
or weekday OT or a combination?
Weekend
If there is a shift differential, that is news to me. I do not receive anything for nights or weekends other than regular pay. Maybe it is something for new hires only??
Weekend usually seems better.
It always seems like Friday and Saturday are busy. Maybe everyone can make up some lines. I've had an okay week. Ran out of work here and there. I am just getting nervous as we approach holiday season and the hiring of the new employees. I am looking for a 2nd job right now.
The best co. ever! Good work, good people, good pay, good bennies.

no weekend work - sm
Sounds like Transcend!
weekend woes
Do all these nationals expect weekend work every stinking weekend? As a reward for working all our hours during the week? Is anyone else sick of working constantly and never feeling they can take off a weekend without guilt??? Do these supervisors, managers work every stinking weekend too? I doubt it. The thing that stinks about working from home is that you are always working.....can't get a day off...anyone else sick of this???
I understand weekend help is necessary, both I just
nm
There are MTs out there who are looking for weekend work...sm
I guess I don't understand your complaint with the company posting that ad. They have a need they need to fill, and it might be the right fit for somebody.
There would be no weekend TV, movies,
bars, etc., for entertainment. Might be a good way for families to learn to communicate again, though.
Weekend work...
Contact docQmed. I am one of his clients and am always looking for weekend warriors.
THANKS!!!!!! Have a great weekend!
Weekend requirement
Is any two weekend days per month. Friday PM shift also counts as a weekend.
weekend work.....
What position are you interested in? If you do read the previous posts, just ignore them...of course they are all ex-employees who left on a bad note with the company. If you would like you can contact me concerning a position with Shapin.
Regarding their ER/Weekend Ad on Job Board.
Wonder if they still provide the computer and all those benefits for the 24 hour week? Anyone do this currently or know? Thanks!
Do you still have to work every 4th weekend or is

second shift/weekend
I work second/third shift and one weekend day but I do not get a shift diff so the pay is the same either way. I am on SR and only make 0.06 a line. The shift diff would have helped out.
weekend work
Are there any companies who will allow you to work both weekend days as part of a regular schedule. I am looking for a reliable company, at leat 8.5 cpl, employee status and one where work flow is regular. I realize there are always slow downs in this industry but searching for a company where you are not consistently running out of work. I prefer to work both Sat and Sun to allow me 2 days off during the week. I know this is unusual. I have an IC job. Love the flexiblity but I need benefits.
I didn't think I would like the weekend day
but I can knock out my required lines in three hours and still have plenty of weekend left.
weekend work
I picked a Sun-Thur schedule so I plan to work Sun after dinner, and get my weekend in first...
Yes occasional OT on weekend, but then
little to none during the week. The account that lost a work type is sending other work types, but lines/minutes no where close to what was lost. The account that sends all the work, we also inherited their MTs, so no more work for current MTs.
looking for weekend work
I would like to obtain weekend transcription. I do work a full time 40 hour weekday job and would like to pick up some weekend work. If anyone knows of any, please let me.
Transtech has M-F with one weekend
NM
How about the weekend differential?
Does it bother anyone else that the new way they pay that seems to pretty much exclude everyone from getting it? Or at least so far I can't get it. They took me from a M-F shift and made me take a weekend day, which I complied with, thinking that at least I'd get the differential. Then two weeks later, they changed it to needing to work, and make your line counts, for those days. I don't know about all the other accounts, but my account usually just trickles in on weekends, and when all the transcriptionists get on there trying to make up lines or try to get the shift differential, there is no way that I am going to get my ever-harder-to-achieve line count. I'm looking at that green grass on the other side of the fence, and I've got to admit it looks pretty tasty.
Had some over the weekend, but dried up now.

weekend nights are actually the
slowest on my accounts. I try to get 1/2 my lines in before lunch and then check back in the early evening to finish up. If I wait too late, the work's all gone. Sometimes I can't get my lines in the morning, either, because the work isn't there. It's really hit or miss.
For the most part I work around it, but I don't live around it. If I don't get my lines, I don't get them. I have a second income that really helps out. I think it's best not to put all your eggs in 1 basket. You never know when that basket is going to break.
weekend work
I too hated the thought of working every single weekend, but I've been doing it for a year, and it has actually worked out okay. On the Sunday that I work, my husband gets to spend time with my kids, and I get an actual day to work interrupted. I don't have to work 8 hours on Sunday though, so I guess that helps. I just get up early and am done by noon. I am actually considering doing a Saturday too so that my husband can help that day also. It might not be as bad as you think. Good luck.
In this day and age, a weekend day is totally...sm
expected. I'm NOT a sour puss but I am an MT. I wanna make money so I accepted a Sun-Thurs schedule several YEARS ago - not just recently. I would suggest a better attitude about a work schedule, especially in this day and age. Go ahead and trash me - I don't care, but if you wanna work nowadays you must be accepting of a lot of requirements that were not the norm in days gone by. And then MTs wonder why the work goes offshore! Sheesh!
Weekend work
What do you find so difficult about working a weekend? I had 3 kids and worked 7 days a week.. (and still work 7 days a week!), you just adjust your schedule to what your kids are doing....most companies no longer require a set 8-4 or 9-5 type environment....Now I'm a grandmother and manage to do my job during the day and watch my granddaughter after 3 p.m....it really isn't that difficult. Look at it this way - if our normal work week was Tues to Sat, you'd be wondering how anyone could work Mon - Fri. Good luck with your juggling.
