TT begging for help

In Reply to: Would someone explain why TransTech is still hiring - when we don't have ample work?
I've gotten 3 emails since last Friday begging for extra help on several accounts (not my regular ones). There's work somewhere. Don't know how the accounts are set up or MTs distributed among them, though.

Begging for help
I just don't believe that's true. What makes you the expert. They've always told me there is something on one of the accounts they have if I want to switch over from my regular account. I do too. Some would rather complain than work on a new account. Not me.
Why are they begging for MTs for VR?
I am seeing so many job ads for Escription VR MTs and editors which sound really desperate. They don't want newbies but they are only paying 3 cpl for experienced MTs to edit. Even though they say they will pay 8 cpl for straight transcription, that is a small percentage of the reports. Maybe 10%. I have worked on several Escription accounts and they take so much time to check demographics and cc's and then you must conform your style to theirs and clean up the formatting that it just isn't worth the brain drain. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
Still sounds like begging to me. Why not just
.
6 cpl job ad still begging for a nephrology IC - sm
Looks like they still haven't found someone who wants to work for peanuts while training the EMR and then will be out of a job after that. Too bad.
Has anyone noticed all these companies BEGGING for MTs....
only to see what the line rates are, 7 cpl for the night shift, are you KIDDING ME? I wouldn't do night shift for 10 cpl! and all the evening shifts, same thing? it seems they're getting more and more desperate for experience but wanna pay newbie wages. no thank you! we've worked our butts off too long and too hard only to have the industry decide (in bidding low rates) that we're not worthy.
I urge all of us to let our voices be heard by doing this...simply, before you even consider testing, email to ask what the line rates are. if it is 7 or below for experienced MTs, JUST SAY NO! it's the only way we're going to let them know we're mad as hell and we aren't gonna take it anymore!
OT with Transcend?? I'm begging for work!
Same old story. We're told if you need work we have plenty. Well, just WHERE THE HECK IS IT? I've begged for work, to no avail. Barely getting by. What platform are you on and which account. I want in on some of that OT!!!!
My C-phone accounts are begging for extra
I have 2 and every day this week they have been extremely full and begging for the MTs to work extra. It's too bad the accounts are uneven like this.
How do you tactifully quit when you have been begging for work?
I was hired in at a big national. I was warned on this board about this company overhiring and running out of work,but I felt I had to give it a chance. Well, after the first week of training was over, I have literally ran out of work everyday and requested a back up account, which I only received 4 hours pay of training to do. Now, the primary and secondary account is out of work, and in order to make any money I have to stay up until midnight to make up hours if the work is available. If the work is not available, I have to fill out a nonpaid PTO request. I have only been with the company a little over 4 weeks and I cannot believe this is happening. I barely made 42 hours last week and will have a small check yet again this pay. I have had it, I have finally learned to not put all my eggs in one basket and have obtained an IC position with another company and a full-time editing job with another company to keep a pay check coming in. My question is, how do I quit this job with no work? What do I tell them? I do not want to be rude or leave in a bad standing. How do I quit after less than 6 weeks on the job. I have to quit because my bills are backing up. Any suggestions on what to say to quit with tact would be appreciated.
Thank you all.
Begging to stay on a job, you gotta be kidding....
I am way past the age of begging for a job. I worked on this particular job since 1990, outsourced appx 4 years ago, new company that had the contract called me and I worked there 4 years and yes I quit because of the nasty IM note the QA person was sending to another boss about me and she sent instead to me. The only difference in my quitting and the other MTs there, no one stated their reason for leaving, afraid of being blackballed and so stayed quiet, just put in their 2 week's notice and left. I on the other hand am retirement age. I left and took early vacation to Alaska, took off 3 months when I returned and get this, that company lost the account and I am now with another company that got it back and everything is wonderful here!! Not the constant breathing down the neck from the QA staff, never. I quit that very day because of the picky, picky IMs, got excellent letter of recommendation from the owner of the other company with it stating that particular company would not put up with such unprofessional doings from their QA and taking steps to ensure this did not happen again. You really don't know what you are talking about. Back years ago maybe I would have just sucked it up because I had to work, not now. Have rental homes plus my own, all bills paid, just hubby and myself. Just have your facts straight before you write these little nasty notes.
Sorry, but it's not me to go say "hey, remember me..I'm sitting with my hand out begging
for acknowledgment. Truly, not bashing the company. Overall, they have been good to me and that is why I stay. Maybe, they aren't the most organized but I am sure they try. I've worked extra to get bonuses and had to beg for that too (same thing..passing the buck..this person forgot to send it out, that person should have already done it, took about 2 months.............so..I'm done with that. I have a job and that's good enough for me. If there were any better companies out there, I'd be there but they have most beat on that. What I have found that overall the best place to work is not for nationals but local doctors. They are the most appreciative and obviously do not have a lot of employees so you don't get lost in the shuffle. Merry Christmas to All. I have my wonderful family who is my life, not my job and that is what matters most to me.
I am SOOO sick and tired of BEGGING for work!
Anyone know of a company that is hiring ICs, flexible scheduling, multispecialty clinic, at least 8 cents a line (shows my desperation...!), steady, dependable work flow for the most part, a company where you can stay and work for at least a few years straight. Any out there? Do not want MDI-MD. Do not want to be an employee - want to be an IC. Do not want any complicated platforms. Any smaller companies out there? I can't find jack lately, even with over 10 years experience. I need consistent work!
The "lead" probably quit if she had to spend her time begging for workers...sm
Doubt she was demoted - leads are too hard to come by. She probably quit management so she could get lines herself, or quit completely because she got tired of having to constantly recruit for accounts that were understaffed.
Larry doesn't know if he's coming or going! One day a mass email to employees begging them to
even though no work, and the next day mass email begging people to hire anybody they can scrape up and now accounts out of TAT, etc. Different story every day of the week, and I don't wanna hear about the company perils! Just let me type! No thanks.
