However, some of MQ's work is being subcontracted out to other companies, nm

just guessing - you work for medquist...

Hey gourdpainter. Do you even work at TT? I am guessing no.
Why then are you constantly bashing them?
You say you work for Webmedx, but in what capacity? MT? Recruiter? Manager? I am guessing not an

What do you mean subcontracted to FN? They don't have this account?

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.
I am guessing NJ.

I'm guessing that
with all the qualified people who frequent this site, you could start a business and grow into a decent sized companies (finding employees here!).
It would be a lot of work but might be well worth it!
Guessing
I think it depends on your Team Leader and the account, but I know of people that do work 4-hour shifts on 2nd or 3rd shift. I don't personally know of anyone at Focus who works a dayshift, though there could be some.
Guessing.
I am left to guessing, as there are no responses to my emails. I don't trust myself to phone them, as I would likely not be able to disguise my extreme anger. I had good evaluations from the Indian gentleman who used to be our account manager/Team Leader, so it isn't that I'm bad. However, I have decided to interpret the situation as a blessing, a motivator to get me to finally find a better position, and move on to a better MT life.
How about Florida - am guessing
we are part of the Tri-state
By "account" I'm guessing you only have one?
Why haven't you asked for a secondary or even a third? That would surely get you better results than simply posting your lack of work here.
Not 100% sure but I am guessing a company in

I'm guessing you are talking about Webmedx .
they do not type in radnet, they have their own software. Radnet is used for macros, search patient's, etc.
Your dictators are clear, and there's *no guessing at all*??
So if you get one that isn't so clear, does that mean you *guess*?? 
I'm guessing English is your second language? I would say this is a
disservice to the MT as well as the companies you are going to service. Nothing worse than someone trying to sail the ship who hasn't ever been near the water.
Just guessing but it might be the woman who owns KS??

I am guessing that the OP meant the queue
shut off means she can see there are jobs there, but when she clicks to get them, she gets nothing. Either that or suddenly the jobs go from a large amount to 0 all the way down. I have experienced both. Don't know if it is queue shut off or work manipulation by sups.
Approximately how big is Transcend now? I am guessing (sm)
MQ, Spheris and now Transcend, but as I said this is only a guess. Anyone else?
Not just MT, any computer skills, paperwork, etc. could be difficult. I am just guessing. (nm)

I'm guessing the reason these companies won't put their names is afraid they will get bashed.
I'm not sure why else they wouldn't be proud enough to put their company name. Pretty sad..
As a whole.. nice people to work for, decent benefits but the get off/on the system, work/no work,
is maddening. I couldnt pay my bills or even work the schedule I was assigned. They would ask us not to work until work built up in the evenings and I specifically wanted to work days as I have kids etc. It just didnt work out for me but to each his own. It just seems there has to be a better balance in this business that what is happening.
I did speak with my manager. Work was promised. No work there when I needed to work.
I see the reports everyday too, but when I get work it is of bad quality, then there is no work unless I work diffrent shifts. Thank you.
My liaison always says to work on secondary when primary is low on work/no work. n/m

That's going to be nuts...I do ASR work too, plus work split shifts. We'll NEED a spread shee

load normally busy, but low now because of the summer slow down on my accounts. Sound an issue on some accounts, but not others. Overall, wonderful company.
That is a BIG problem at TransTech is leads assigning work, rather than letting the work flow
This TT MT just admitted to that fact. It has been very obvious, as so easy to tell how work comes into our que and then gets pulled out as fast as it came in and replaced with YUKKY dictators. VERY frustrating to us other TT MT's who take the JUNK that is NOT assigned to other MT's, such as this poster.
Ever thought of a home health care aide? Usually paid training and start work right away. Can work

Absolutely not! I work for the best MTSO. I am have been so blessed to work for the small company I
I will share this about the MTSO I work for. I called her late last Wednesday night after Church and told her I was compelled to help out with Hurricaine Katrina in some way and an opportunity arose for a small group from my Church to go to Louisianna this coming week. Would she be able to cover my work. She told me no problem without any hesitation and even donated money for the trip.
And I am sure there are plenty of good companies out there to work for. To compare us to migrant workers is just not right.
It does work, you do not need to "make" it work.. it works in all word based programs.

They have to be flexibility because of the erratic work flow. No sense in a schedule if no work..

I was told Escription would not work with Vista. Turned out it wouldn't work with my sm
Office Basic Edition 2003 either, but no one could figure out why, it was supposed to.
There is actually a section on the Dell website that offers Windows XP. I haven't checked it out as I'm not in the market, so I don't know if it costs extra. I have a Dell and it's been fine for me. I hate the ESL tech department, but it seems like most of them have that now.
Yes they do send work overseas and do not hide this fact. There is plenty of work and they do pay
well. Overall, I like having work as I have been at places where you had to fight to keep busy so this works for me.
There is NO work at Transtech. Maybe they just choose special people to send work to

Are you required to work major holdays at KS. I know nature of biz to work them. Thanks for info. nm

Great people to work for, but I had to leave due to lack of work. Hopefully that has changed. SM
Most of us who do not live in California had to go IC. When I was there, they did not have statutory status, although they told me they did when they hired me. Their pay for VR is VERY low, not a living wage. Many of the folks in the office are ex-YOG and great to work for/with. Good luck.
1200 lines daily is great if you have the work, personally, I never had enough work so
I left and have NEVER been sorry!
Don't know about radiology work load, but we have been scratching in the dirt for work for a numb
of months now. They hire, lose account, hire again before new accounts comes onboard, then have overhired, having to put new MT's on the current low workload.
Medical field is 24/7 work unless you work for a clinic or stand alone operation.
I just look at the other cool people working holidays and weekends in the ICU, ER, paramedics,and am glad to be there. When you work in a hospital for a length of time, it becomes a necessary evil to show up at the worst possible times.
Having a family or a life you'd miss from Friday at 5 PM to Monday at 8 PM must be hard and
I think that there is a place for you where they can meet your requirements (M-F). There are plenty of those jobs.
They require that you work in house until your have clean QA for 3 paydays then you can work

All nationals I work for you only work 40 hours unless they approve overtime.

I'm part-time and don't have to work all weekend. I work Tues-Sat.
I've never heard that from Chronicle, of course I didn't see the ad.
The bid has nothing to do with consistancy of work. MTSO cannot control how cosistant work is.
:+
I'll love to know who you work for. I also work every weekend with no extra pay.
It'd be nice to get paid for all the nights and weekends I work.
Like I said - it depends who you work for. I work for a hospital at home - not a company. nm

I know two people who work 3rd shift for Keystrokes on radiology and have a lot of work. Maybe you
on an account that has enough work. I hate to hear that someone doesn't have enough work or that they have a problem because I know that Keystrokes works to find the right account for every person. They do a lot for us but you have to talk to them until you find the right account or volume or hours for you.
I think that a lot of companies are that way but there is a lot of job-hopping in transcription. Everyone is looking for the perfect job but the grass is not always greener on the other side. There are a few MTSO's really are not good but for the most part, the others don't intentionally drive people away. That would not make sense. They need us to work as much as we need them to have the work there for us.
I work on it. Usual amount of work. Not running out but not backlogged either. They seem to have
about the right staffing on it. Hope that helps.
