Yes - sounds like you are the one having the difficult time -......
must be you who got the axe! Maybe you should spend your time looking for another job and praying you get one.
That sounds very time consuming. nm

Thanks..That is about the time I quit so sounds like they got that together.
That's a good sign. I believe companies can change bad habits and I think people need to give them a chance.
Hurray! Sounds like first in, first out, about time.

Sounds like being self-employed, no time to die.
Time off for the self-employed is the same except they'll find another service and replace you if you miss one day. No hearts.
It sounds like you and I left right around the same time!
I left back in February 2007...just as things were starting to get really bad. I know that they were in danger of losing my primary account. I also heard that they had a massive layoff of US MTs that following summer. I'm so glad I left when I did! I remember feeling like a 10-ton brick had been lifted from my shoulders when I left SPi and started with my new company!
it sounds as if this may have been going on for a long time ...
and the manager feels herself to be/is helpless in the situation.
If you have not already, you might offer your future support if she (ever) decides to deal with this situation. (She has your mutual file, but she might appreciate some moral support).
When I was a hospital employee/supervisor, I once feared having to fire one of my favorite workers for conspiring with a doctor's office employee to conceal an error they had made (wrong patient information attached to a laboratory specimen). My kind hearted worker wanted to help this other person not get fired -- apparently the office worker had made this mistake before, doncha know. When I contacted the office manager about the error (an embarrassing several weeks later - the report had remained in limbo because my worker did not have the editing function to complete the correction), it turned out that the employee in question was habitually sloppy and careless. That office manager was almost happy to finally be able to fire her -- not so much for the error as the conspiracy and deceit to conceal the error. That's how it should be handled.
Since you don't know why the office manager feels so helpless, unless you want to take her to lunch and become her BFF, I think you have to walk away and count your blessings to be able to do so -- and give the office manager the responsibility for doing nothing, regardless of the unfairness of it all (she gets to keep working in that environment, lucky her.).
Sounds like the part-time is an afterthought
I do have the small children at home, why won't someone fit their schedule to meet mine? What would you do if you had to, oh my goodness, get a job outside the house?
Sounds like you're gettin' ripped BIG TIME!

Thank you! I'm looking for part-time work to supplement my no-work full-time job.
I'm lookin for part-time work (about 3-4 hrs daily) after 13 years of full-time, anyone know of a
company that is hiring flexible part-time? I'm starting a career in real estate but don't want to totally quit transcription, but I think most places require 25 hours a week and I cant work weekends, as real estate sales are the biggest on the weekend with open houses and people off work to shows homes to. If you know of a place I'd sure appreciate the info. Thanks!
i work 3 part-time jobs now. it can be confusing if you are learning both at the same time, but sm
other than that not a problem for me. best to get one down before starting to other or you might become overwhelmed.
Ugh - well I did all my work on time and I expect to be paid on time.
The phone company doesn't wait, the cable company doesn't wait, and the electric company doesn't wait for their money either - all of which I need to pay in order to do my job. I work when I am supposed to, I help when behind, and give 110%, and I ask for my check to be on time.
I think if an MTSO is going to have to mail checks they should do so priority to make up for the delay.
Full time but no work half the time-nm

Part-time MT getting full-time work ??????
TransTech should not be giving out work to PT people on their DAY OFF, or any other time BEFORE a full-time MT has enough work !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds like you work for MDI - MD
x
Gee, sounds like someone I want to work for (NOT)
x
Sounds like we may work for the same co. Do ask..
I finally did and it is being checked on. I'm not that proud to ask LOL
Where do you work now? Sounds like
Webmedx.
That sounds like a lot of work to me. I have a
FT job, 12 hour window also, and then work as an IC as second job. For that, I pick when I work (if they have it). I have no line or hour requirements with them. That way, if I don't feel like working extra that day or weekend, I am not required to.
Boy, sounds like where I used to work.
The company doesn't start with a T does it. This QA person was extremely rude to me over something, and when the supervisor found out, she was reprimanded and then that is when my nightmare began. I could not do anything right and I could not take the constant nitpicking so I just ended up quitting. In my opinion, once you have crossed someone with that power it just ends up being a head game. I tried the going to the head cheese thing but it just got worse. Do whatever your instinct tells you though. In the end, it is a lot of pressure knowing someone is just waiting for you to fail and I'm so sorry this happened to you also.
sounds like you work at -
PAMF!
MT, it sounds like you work for a sm
wonderful MTSO, and I wish you knew me!!! I've had more than 25 years of continuous MT experience and have a 100% QA rating (have proof). I prefer transcribing OPs but will do whatever comes in my queue, and I'm not afraid of ESLs.
I work on an account that sounds just like the one being described. sm
The difference is that I stayed with it and make excellent money. There has been a lot of MTs removed and moved, but it is a challenging account in terms of difficulty level. I love it now. The funny thing is that you are all arguing a point that you know nothing about. No one can know what an account is like in a day or a week. Several of us have been on it since KS get it over a year ago and it has grown from a 2-person account to a 10-person account and I heard it will be growing again. This is because KS is willing to only put their best MTs on there and will remove those that cannot handle it. This is NOT a bash at anyone's skills, just a fact that this is a hard operative notes account. I might be good at it, but it is my personal specialty.
It also IS internet, not c-phone.
Sounds like you want to work PT, but get the benefits of FT!
There are minimum requirements so that the employee must work in order to get health insurance, PTO, etc. Why on earth would an employer offer someone a FT employee status, but then not put any kind of line requirement on them? That's just absurd.
As a manager of a transcription department at a hospital that pays their MTs hourly plus incentive, if I didn't have minimum production standards in place, I'd have a bunch of hourly employees taking a million breaks and surfing the internet all shift long! And still walking out with a nice paycheck and benefits to boot! And my minutes would be through the roof with doctors screaming at me every minute of every day!
I feel sorry for the company that gives you a job. You're looking to get off easy!
Sounds like you work at my company.
They never respond to calls or e-mails and, when they do, it shows they never understood the question or problem. LOL.
Well sounds like nothing has changed. I work there now and it is exactly as you say.
Not sure how long I will stay. I wonder what kind of turnover they have with the lack of work, poor sound, etc. You would think they would get sick and tired of training new people. Their accounts arent what I would call easy accounts to learn. I guess it works for them or they would change their ways. With all the complaining these hospitals they have do about things you would think they would try to keep good MTs. I have never worked for a place with so much complaining about crazy stuff as they people do.
Sounds like we work for the same place...sm
Same thing is happening to me. I have worked 50 hours a week for the past 2 months just to get my lines in. When I turn in my time sheet, I put down that I worked 100 hours in 2 weeks. I got an e-mail from my company stating to please only put 80 hours down. Now, this seems totally illegal to me!!! They should not get away with this but what can I do? I need to pay my bills.
I can see a lot of problems in this way of doing things. That sounds to me like everyone's work i
up for grabs so that would push those MTs that have their acccounts grabbed up go onto other accounts. If you think this doesnt affect quality I think you are totally crazy. There are a lot of people that simply cannot do a good job on accounts this way and they are very good MTs. Very bad way to do business. I am sure quality is hughly compromised. It is always always best for quality and line counts to keep people with what they know. Even the hospitals can see who is in there and they know there are a lot of unknown MTs in their accounts and if the quality goes down or a lot of work is tied up in QA those hospitals are gone to another company.
Sounds like TTS - Most companies using eScription run out of work often. nm

Sounds like you work for the company/account
I do FT. I'm 17 hours short this week. Fortunately there is plenty of work today, my day off. I won't be able to get any overtime but hopefully I'll be able to make up most of those 17 hours.
Wow...sounds like a good place to work.
Sounds like they made it worthwhile.
So I guess if you are experienced and work for nothing there are job. Sounds bad. nm

It sounds like a good place to work..
which is why they are at the top of my very short list. I also am a long-time MQer and the thought of leaving is a little depressing, but it has gotten to the point where I have no choice. p.s. Glad to hear you were treated well, and that everyone is doing okay. : )
Sounds like the company I work for now. Horrible
it. The company in general is also very, very strict on QA, so there's never a relaxed minute as the newbie on the block, and the cliques! Its cruel. I feel like I'm in school again, getting left out and laughed at and even set up for failure. There is always someone calling out sick, etc., as you describe, and I am told I always have to be the one to cover due to seniority, or my lack of it. Its so upsetting that I'm just about to throw in the towel myself. I'm sorry I can't recommend anyone other than MQ QA, but I heard they are no longer hiring QA staff. They used to pay really, really well and the conditions were fine. Best of luck to you.
Sounds like you work at a great place
That seems like a much more reasonable line rate for VR, 0.065 - correct. A lot better than the 0.03 0 0.045 that most offer. Would it be okay to ask who you work for?
Sounds like the woman I used to work for. She is not located in -sm
NJ by chance. If so, things will not improve. Start looking for another job ASAP. I know it sucks for you right now but I found another job and I am making more $$ and I have a lot less stress. I too, hated the thought of going through finding another job, liked the accounts I typed and so forth. Good luck to you. I hope you ended up better off down the road.
Yes, but there is play time and there is work time. sm
You volunteer. Awesome!! As long as you are volunteering during nonwork time that is great or during time that you have scheduled to be off. Again all great!!! We all have to take off with our kids when they are sick. Did it today as I had both at home and took PTO time for it. If you do these things in this manner, no big deal, but I am talking about the ones who constantly do not showw up for work and have excuses as there are more of them than there are of people who actualy take this job seriously.
As far as retirment from the other poster.... please. I am nowhere even close but I can say the downfall of this business is NOT because it is going overseas. It is because we do not have well trained American MTs. I have been here for 18 years. I have watched it go down. It is sad but we can't change it YET!
Sounds like the place I used to work for. The one with crappy program?
nm
I saw they were hiring but there is no way I'd work for them. Their ad sure sounds good with shif
differential and good pay etc.. but it means nothing if they dont pay their people and you had to fight to get it. No thanks.
OhBrother sounds like a real piece of work,huh?
Oy vey...........
Sounds like several places I've been with! They can tweak the distribution of work any way they
s
Pay is always on time, direct deposit, very nice management to work with, and DQS platform, work
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.
Kinda sounds like you got scammed into doing some free work for them. I'd bail. They are underhan
I wouldn't trust anyone who does business like that.
No PTO for part-time. Not sure if you can work part-time or not since recent rule change. sm
You do pay a deposit for their equipment.
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.
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.
Thanks for the advice. The idea of clinic work sounds good, but I do feel comfortable with acute ...
care. I have a lot of experience with operative notes, DS, consults, radiology etc.. but I am not that thrilled with ESLs. It is just harder to make money on them. I think I will look into clinic work. It was only the lack of work that was bothering me about these companies and mismanaging the accounts they did have, broken promises, and just getting the runaround.. over everything from benefits to work.
Is it a nice place to work and did you have work all the time. nm
:
sure sounds swell. Sounds like 2350 ln/day @ 4 cents/ln=$90./day
in order to figure how many line needs to be produced to make $500 per pay period. ie, how many lines an hour needed per 8 hour day --at your rate.
So say $450 a week would be $90 a day.
For example, if making 4 cents a line,need 2,250 lines a day, 281 an HOUR (to listen through and edit) to make this great wage of $90. a day FOR ALL THIS SAME SKILL, TO KEEP UPDATED WITH CHANGING MEDICAL COMMUNITY. nope Better at Jack-in-Box Pass it up.
Come to work for me then if you are 100% all the time.
