Running. sm
Good! You do that. What concerns me are MTs of my standard that might get my lines. So run Forest run, more money and security for me.
They are running another one now
which is why I am curious. Thanks.
not running out
2 part-time jobs have been slow after Christmas and have run out of work (one is cilnic, the other acute care), but my full time job has been keeping the work coming (acute care which is a trauma center and a major medical center)
running out
Working there for 3 years. Running out off and on problem, but in the past 6 months or so rarely happens (until last week). on my accounts. Sunday did very little. Today there is work. A few weeks ago both my accounts were very busy. I know they were hiring; now maybe there are too many people. This is why I work for more than 1 company. Can't rely on one for enough work.
Run as fast as you can,
I'm supprised she is still using the same name, she's been known to change names in the past.
RUN as fast as you can the other way
the person you mentioned is the biggest phony, lazy, bs artist, hard work, low pay
RUN I TELL YOU
abusive once you are there a while
Run as fast as you can....
I used to work for them though not on the radiology account. I knew two girls that did work on the radiology account and they hated it, but she had no one else to work. So they had to work horrible hours and the CEO was constantly pestering them to work more (they both have since left). Their line counting program counts short too. I had to work 12 hour days when i did work there just to make any money. They play favorites with the MTs, the office staff treats you like crap when you do need something, you will never make more than what you are hired in at and the list goes on.
RUN AWAY FAST!
This is probably one of the worst MT companies out there. I made the huge mistake of working for them just over a year ago and ended up quitting after only a month. You won't be dealing with anyone except people in India. You can't understand a word they say and they constantly will harass you through Yahoo IM asking when you are going to work and why you are not working, but when you needed to IM them for tech support, they would take forever to answer, if they even answered at all. My experience was that they are very, very rude to their MTs and all of their QA and account managers are in India. I was scoring at least 98% on all of my QAs, but they kept telling me that I needed to improve. There are much, much better companies to chose from. I would stay far, far away from this one. I ran and never looked back.
run away fast
run far far away from SoftScript as fast as you possibly can! Its true you can't believe everything you read here, but trust me when i say everything said about them is the truth!
RUN FAST!!!! sm
Late payer...and will lie and say she sent the money and didn't. You can tell by the postmark when you finally do get your check. Also, there is a line count discrepancy.
Save yourself the trouble.
Act fast
Terri Davis is in the process of selling off her accounts and is screwing both companies buying AND the MTs, due to her psyhopath ways.
Act fast on your legal action. MTs and Editors get the heck out now before she cons you into unemployment.
she is truly a sick and evil person who will stop at nothing to look like the intelligent person she is not.
BTW... Shelly (I won't put her last name, but you will know who I mean), is Terri's COUSIN, by no way a REAL MT.
This is truly a run far and fast
Worked for them for 2 weeks in March--haven't yet and will never see a penny of the $150+ they still owe me. I gave up asking. Don't believe their ad that they offer MTs a great whatever--blah, blah. A word comes to mind: ruthless. Just my input.
i'd run far and fast
I have had 2 friends work briefly for this company.. both promised one thing and received something totally different that was not acceptable at all.
How did you get off QA so fast?

Not so fast
There is a difference between OSi or MQ, or some other MTSO willingly offshoring and a hospital/client moving offshore for financial reasons. Not all these moves are controlled by any company or management, they are controlled by the clients. Some hospitals will request offshore for financial reasons, others forbid it. To say that OSI offshores big time makes it look like they did it. . . this is inaccurate..
Not fast enough
Hear ya! I thought it was just me. Type 120 wpm use all my expanders, burn my brain, and can get nowhere near $25 an hour. I would imagine anybody who is getting $25 is possibly blessed with an account from heaven? Not so here. Have a nice weekend!
RUN AWAY!! As fast as you can!
They are the most unhappy bunch of people I've ever met or worked for. I lasted 2 months and it felt like two years!
Run away, very far, very fast. sm
Do a search on the board. Mostly bad stuff.
You can do better.
Run. Run as fast as you can.

Me either-Run away as fast as you can-NM

PLEASE RUN AWAY FAST...SM
sent you an email.
Run away, fast!
I had the extreme displeasure of working for this company a few years ago when they bought out Cymed back in the summer of 2006. They offshore all of their work, treat their MTs like second-class citizens, and I was almost always running out of work. My pay checks were always getting screwed up and I could never get in touch with anyone in the office and, when I finally did, they were usually very rude and ignorant. Like I said, I haven't been there in almost 3 years, but I have heard that they are even worse now. I have been with the same company since I left SPi and I am a million times happier!
Run away, fast!!!
This company is horrible. I worked for Cymed until they were sold to SPi. I left there in February 2007 and never looked back. They treat their MTs like second-class citizens and they were constantly running out of work because they offshore so heavily. Management was constantly changing and my paychecks were screwed up often. This is the LAST place you want to work, trust me!
I should have said .09/,04..too fast...
.09 for straight/.04 for VR but 80% is VR and 20% is straight typing.
Run FAST
Synernet is a horrid company. Pay is low.. 7 cpl for NO spaces on 55 line... they claim it equals standard pay. . NOT NOT NOT
Julie is a horrid trainer.. puts you on hold all the time, gets mad if you call her with a question. Does not teach you all the applications to the platform then gets pissy if you have not figured it out on your own along with everything else.
Lines are not abundantly produced, hard to get 150 lines an hour, let alone industry standard of 200 lines an hour.
RUN FAST... RUN FAR

Monrovia, Ca. How were you
informed of work shortage?

Running out of work
Hi there!
About running out of work - I see this is a very hot topic on the boards, as well as in the entire industry, and it's always the same this time of year. I am a supervisor now, but when I was a regular MT, working on production, it used to be the most frustrating time ever - from mid-October to right after the first of the year. I'll never forget dialing in multiple times on my C phone one Christmas - all day long. I just felt like I was fighting for work.
First of all, the reason for this dramatic drop in work is attributed to several different reasons. It's not that the company has hired too many people, and pushed you out of work. It's not that someone is secretly manipulating your work pool, and taking work away. It has nothing to do with offshoring, or any of that - Trust me. This was a problem WAY before offshoring became the major issue it is today. This is simply a result of less office and hospital visits. Most hospital visits are generated by older patients, and their routine, or urgent, procedures, necessitating H&Ps, Consultations, Discharge Summaries, OP notes, clinic visits to follow up the surgery they just had, etc., and etc. Many of them simply do not want to get out this time of year. They will put off going to the doctor until after the holidays. No one wants to schedule things during the holidays, and even people who have minor emergencies will try to treat themselves rather than go to the ER during this busiest season of the year.
So, how do we manage it?
I take a lesson from some people I know who are union workers, and their work is mostly outdoors. Their work slows down during the wintertime. They know it, and they prepare for it. They put their funds in a savings account, or their branch of the union does it for them, to doll out later when work is leaner. You can be your own credit union. Many companies offer great - ABSURDLY great - incentives when the work is in a big backlog. Take this opportunity next year, and put all of your overtime or incentive pay in a savings account, so you can use it when the holidays hit again near the end of October next year! You could just jump from company to company, or decide to go work in an office somewhere hourly, but don't fool yourself. Neither of those solutions will ever replace the rewards for being a dependable, steady, disciplined, loyal employee of a good company. Find one you like, and stick with it, but know ahead of time that this year is going to be lean. Be ready - be expectant. It's one of the things about this industry you wish someone would have told you when you started, right? Well, I'm telling you...
Anybody else with MDI-MD running out of work lately?nm

running out of work
any companies out there that are not running out of work for their employees????
Why is everyone running out of work?-sm
Either these companies are overhiring, or losing accounts? What do you think it is? I am afraid to start my new job, because I am seeing posts where they run out of work....This is too frustrating...

RE: Why is everyone running out of work?-sm
Everyone - Too broad of an interpretation - The company I work for, no shortage of work.
Sorry. Is Medware running out of ops. ? nm

RE: Running out of work at MDI-MA
Try one of the heavy ESL teaching accounts.... you'll never have to worry about running out of work. They do have them ya know!
Running out of work
I am a new Precyse MT (2 wks) and there have been a couple times when I've run out of work before end of my shift, but as soon as I notified my manager, I was given another account to work on. They have so far been very responsive to me and always willing to work with me. I love it so far.
I keep running out of work.
The platform is pretty pathetic. The do pay on time and seem friendly. I switched companies because I kept running out of work and the same goes on here. Oh well. I am tired of learning new doctors and new personalities so I plan on staying. Maybe I can find something else really flexible to fill in the low spots. Good luck!
running out of work
I left this outfit at the first of the year and my accounts with my new employer have been going hot and heavy every since. Let's face it people, people do not quit getting sick or having surgeries in the summer months. There is no slow season in this field. 
To MDI-MD MTs; is work still running low; I was about to
accept a position but then I heard work had been low. I was also told by recruiter the ESLs were few but then I saw some postings stating there were many. I have been where I am at for several years so when I move I want it to be somewhere I will be happy for a long while. Can you give me an honest opinion?
Sounds like your co was not running the co
right. Get rid of them! Hire those who can do the 2000 a day. Instead, you demean the integrity of the field by paying junk wages. Smart idea...real smart! So they add to the field going into the potty.
potty running over.....
You would be shocked to know... not just a handful.
Yes, but then she might be running out of work.
No win.
KS and running out of work
I think it depends on what account you work on. I worked there a while back and was assigned a certain # of physicians. If they did not dictate then I did not have work. This was clinic work - but if you are on acute care or maybe radiology that might not be the case.
TT running out of work
Ask for a backup. Today is my day off but I just logged on to see if there was any work to be had and yep, plenty. I'm P/T and most of the time work more than I would like because of backlog. Please don't call me a powers that be or any such. I'm just a lowly MT who has worked for TT for about 4 years, ran out of work only a couple of times on my primary in all that time, asked for a secondary, got it and haven't needed to work on it since. I sure do get tired of the TT bashing though, doesn't even sound like the TransTech I work for.
If everyone is running out of work...
then why are they hiring? I have an interview Monday for a job with MDI-FL, acute care, ExText account. Which account(s) do you work on?
I think the running out of work is because ...
of the time of the year. Typically the period between Thanksgiving and the first of the year is a slowdown for the entire industry.
This company pays well and on time. They treat their employees very well. You won't go wrong applying here and accepting their offer if one is extended.
running out of work
Before I left they finally got direct deposit, but I did recall MTs calling often because they were low on work. In my experience as an MT, it is always best to work for at least 2 companies. I work Superior Global and Focus and love them both.
Yeah, that's what I was running into
When I type 5:03 it would stay, but then 4:63 and it would convert to a decimal.
None of yesterday's times changed like that but they didn't add up right. I did it off a handwritten log so maybe I'll go back and play with it later when I have more brain.
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge!
Say what you will...our children will be running
that nursing home you'll be in some day. Better to treat them well and take care of them now than to wish you did later. By the way...I'm guessing you have a dog or cat instead of kids?
I had Bayscribe and DQS running (sm)
on the same computer for about a month or so and it worked fine.
