Maybe it's the accounts your on. I work for MDI-FL and I'm swamped with work..
Sorry.. I had gone through a few days a while back of slower work, but lately especially since over the holidays, it has been crazy.. too much work..
Have been running out of work all week - have 3 accounts
nm
I'm swamped and want a day off. Please come to work!

Not sure what account they have you on ...but I'm swamped with work..
I definitely would ask for another account. It is rare that there would not be any work. I work two accounts and sometimes my primary does get low but there is always a backup account. This just doesnt seem right. Even over the holidays, they were screaming for help on the accounts I was on..
Huh? I am swamped with work.... it is extremely busy.
Are you sure you are talking about the same place????
so far plenty and swamped with work but that is due to new accts and not enough MTs yet so not sure
;
My hospital is swamped also - too much work! Can't figure out these companies either. nm

Different company but no slow down, swamped but we were before holidays. Nice having work..
Oh my no! LOTS of work. Didn't have first 15 minutes of Thursday, but swamped outside of that. nm

Made my line count from day 1 and off QA on FOUR accounts first week sm
Yes and it is the truth, thank you very much. I did get my line counts from DAY ONE. Getting to 1100 is easy, it is getting from 1500 to 2000 that is real work.
I would say that 2000 lines a day is DOABLE. Week one, made my 5500 lines. New pay period, have 12,000 for 2 weeks. I am shooting for 100 lines a day more each week until I hit 1500 lines a day, every day. I will then increase by 50 lines a day until I am at 1700 to 1800 every day. This is where my budget tells me I need to go.
I also work an IC position in addition to TT. I have about 500 lines a day there, just put in an hour or two, rarely three and for now, I need the money.
TT is wonderful in many ways. I often find errors from other MTs in old reports being from the month I have been there. Some are not as careful as they should be and are after line counts. I am after line counts too, but it was not my first goal, getting of QA was my first goal. That and I give a flying crap about my work! It would be good if they did audit after an MT is off of QA or if we had a system to report errors we find, but there aren't these things. Oh well.
They treat me nice and have lots of work. THAT is my business, not the way the company is run or what they do.
Yes, pay on time. We give a 2-week schedule. Accounts pretty good
Well it sounds like no work happens a lot at DSG. How are the accounts as far as decent accounts
and their QA.
Why would anyone work 8 hours a week. The poster above said 16 or 24 hours a week.

Swamped 2...
Swamped in Kentucky!
Seems they are all swamped now
with so many MTs applying. Give them a few days and if you don't hear call or email. Good MTs are hard to come by so keep your chin up and see what happens.
She is probably swamped and cannot
or family emergency, could be many reasons.
I'm swamped
I am swamped. I am doing about 1800 lines a day and leaving a ton in my queue every night. Can you ask to switch to another account. The acocunt I was on when I started was terrible, but the account I am on now rocks!
Good Luck!
I'm also swamped
I always do at least 2000 lines a day on my account. We have a huge amount of work. Some other accounts may be slow, but I don't see why you don't just give them a call and ask for another account. There are usually plenty of other accounts available.
Not on my account. We are swamped. nm

I know they've been swamped
I would drop them another line or call them if you can and see what's up. They're worth it.
Swamped? When I worked for them
Hope they have corrected that. Otherwise, nothing bad. QA department is wonderful. Management, well, best left unsaid.
Hospital swamped
Do you work for a service or directly for the hospital? if a service could you share the name...guess I will have to divide my work week among more than one service just to make sure I have work.
Be Patient...They are swamped...
It was almost 2 weeks before I heard from them. You might drop them a quick phone call just to let them know you are interested. E-mail me if you want more.
What are you talking about? I am swamped! sm
of course, I have 4 accounts I do and I am seeing them all, fast as I can type all week.
I have said it before, and I was told this when I started, if you'll take more than one account you will be far less likely to run out of work.
Really? I am swamped today! sm
Do you only do one account? Because there are a couple today in Span-Tel/TSP that are swamped with work. Also, from what I hear, they are adding a large hospital next week to the DocQScribe platform, so if that is the platform you are on, I imagine it will pick up rather quickly. I guess it just depends which team you are on and which accounts you work on. If you are this low on work, could you ask for more or to be trained on the other accounts? I think the work is there, and if you really want it, you should ask for it.
As an aside, I think it has likely been slow the last couple weeks with a lot of companies - it usually is around Labor Day but then picks back up through the holidays - at least in my experience anyway.
Companies pull their ads if they get swamped with
s
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.
Looks like another week of no work at MDI-FL. And they
say they don't overhire? Don't believe that one for a minute.
We are all out of work this week looks like. nm

4 day work week?
Does anybody working for Transtech work a 4 day work week (10 hours a day)? I would like to do this, but don't know if they would be receptive to this.
There's less work every week
That's what some of us thought - if some people got fired last week, this week might be better. Nope! Its worse!
If their ad is gone, they probably got swamped with resumes & aren't hiring. nm
s
NO work -- running out of work this week! Anybody else?
Anybody else running out of work this week?
The sweetie, honey, sweet words to us just don't pay. Lines transcribed is all that pays us.
The reason there is low work/no work during the week is because so many of YOU at TT want
TO WORK BANKER's HOURS and DAYS and NOTHING ELSE !! Poor baby . . .
Yes. You must work 1 weekend day every week. nm

ARE THEY AWARE THAT YOU DON'T WORK 40 A WEEK?
jUST CURIOUS IF THEY CARE.
39 hour work week
is what it says. Sorry, 39 not 40 for those counting.
Unfortunately they also keep running OUT of work every week. nm

I work three days a week ...
8 hours a day, but I often times have to be physically at the computer longer than 8 hours because sometimes the work is slow. I have two accounts. I work no weekends.
how may hours a week do you work
or maybe a better question is how many lines a day do you do?
OMG, I hope not. You work over 50 hrs a week
for 36,500? Sounds like a very big national I know. lol. BTDT and I quit real fast. Glad you are happy, I guess that's all that matters, but you're being taken advantage of IMO. And 2 weeks vacation is not that great either.
how many hours a week do you work to get this?
so, you don't really know what it's like to work a national.
At least we don't have to work 7 days a week (unless we want to)
nm
How many hours do you work a week? (NM)
nm
work a week off payroll?? PLZ sm
Yas know what, there are probably a lot of valid complaints here on the board but is really of no value unless the name of the company is shared. What good does it really do, no one else can be alerted and informed to make future decisions. Change can perhaps be implented on the other side when as isolated MTs can learn the fact and not be taken in (because the info is shared from which decisions can be made..
I have taken to sending an email (at times with the resume but also without) and ask if they would mind sharing the highest to the lowest line rate offered for the position as --I mention (to them) this would save valuable time on BOTH sides.
I have also taken to asking if this position is for VR. (cuz I'm not doin it)
This gives a better playing field as I don't want to spend all that time on testing on 7 files, going through an interview to find some ridiculous offer I would have never considered had I known up front.
I think the JOB OFFER BOARD here should have all the facts listed up front.
unbelievable. Work for a week sm
without getting paid? What a nice way to clean up their back log for free!
Back a few years ago this profession started being advertised by the schools and in the rag magazines as a work at home job to make tons of money. That is when this profession started down the tubes.
Because it sounds like an easy work at home job, everybody is coming out of the woodwork. Folks who can't spell the word HOSPITAL practically are trying to open MT companies to make big money.
It is very very sad!
They also only work 4 days a week.
She said she's going through the resumes in chronological order and is kind of swamped right now.

Encompass- How are the accounts and work flow? Do you have a lot of work?
I need to keep busy. I cant sit here every day hoping for work so I'm looking elsewhere.
Lots of work here too. I cannot figure out which accounts have no work.
I'm on the Escription platform
HOW DO YOU GET OVER TIME IF YOU DON'T WORK 40 HOURS A WEEK?
That is a great gig you have going. Do you have to work weekends?
