flexible schedule (as in working EVERY weekend mandatory? 

Any opinions on the company would be appreciated.  Found some in the archives but all mostly from 2004 and 1 recent post but not much info.  Thanks.

I'm past that "honeymoon" stage of the first few months that another poster mentioned.  I still find them to be the best for me.  Never run out of work, always there for questions, including timely responses, great people (QA and otherwise). 

I'd highly suggest contacting either your supervisor or Jane (as she offered) about lack of work.  As you should see on the daily reports, there is plenty of work out there. 

Good luck & I hope it works out for you. 

then pray tell us how you are doing it.  I certainly would like to share this with MQ because I also have done this many years, know my work, and there is no way to do 2400 lines because most days all the accounts are out of work.

listening

in Arizona.  I was so intrigued by you posting MRC Group out of Maryland, that I just called the company and talked to Christine.  She stated that MRC Group was bought out by MQ.  Two of the brothers went on and did their own thing, while the other owner and his wife still own a part of MRC Group which is out of Maryland and have an office in Florida.  The owners of this company have been in business for about 40 years now.  The husband and wife have given the company to their daughter to run what is left of MRC Group out of Maryland.  The company has approximately 40 transcriptionists and are currently hiring transcriptionists across the USA who will work from home.  Hope this helps.  I was shocked to hear this news.  Sounds like a very nice office and very upbeat and positive.

I know we have been hiring in anticipation and probably some of the new employees are working on current accounts until everything is on line.  At least this has what I have ran into at other companies.  They have to be trained and ready and I anticipated our backlogs might be a little low as we share.  Today I have been out of work most of the morning which is EXTREMELY RARE, however it is a perfect day to play outside so I will go out and pot up some things and wait till the work load builds up a little more. 

Sorry if this kind of rambled on.  Welcome to new employees, I am certainly not complaining or accusing them of taking work away from the rest of us.  Just wondering when the new accounts are coming on and if we will be given opportunity to switch or try out the new ones. 

Have a good day.  Putting on my old jeans and heading outside for an hour or so. 

Might want to apply to the 2007 and 2008 MT Employer of the Year!

I know they recently were hiring and now the backload summary numbers are down on a lot of accounts (mine included).  I am hoping they just hired in anticipation of new account and are training these people on the current accounts and things will improve after the new accounts come on.  Am I dreaming? 

I understand no company wants to pay OT and it is a balancing act to get the correct number of MTs on any given account.  I just don't think they were hiring to overhire.  They seem far too nice for that. 

Sorry for blithering, main question was do they share info about upcoming new accounts? 

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...

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...
