Are the posts below - running out of work at KS (sm)
seems lately this has been happening a lot - and I thought they did not do that at KS - any input from MT.
Check thru the recent posts here that have them running out of work. nm

Thanks. In the older posts, it looks like people were running out of work a lot...SM
Is this still the case? These posts are mostly from 2005 and 2006, so they are really old. Are the flexible with scheduling? Do they pay on time and treat their MTs well? I just want to know before I even think about applying! Thanks!
Posts from 2/2006 said they were running out of work. They use MTWorld software. nm

They work with you to make sure you get the lines required or the amount of lines you want...
I have never had a problem getting more work
If you are doing 2400 lines in an 8 hour day, working 5 accounts +, running out of work on all 5,
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.

Your posts are always so nasty. Get a grip already. nm

Old posts said they were rather nasty and offered a very low wage. Had to use

Can you say where you work where it's so easy to make your lines? All I come across is crap out
s
Just wondering - how many hours do you normally have to work to make your 500 lines? Thanks! NM

Webmedx - low work ? Can you make up lines when work available (sm)
or do you have to schedule a make up time or just do without the lines?
When you run out of work doyou have to make up lines/hours to keep bennies? (nm)

Posts like these just make me want to
My teens insist posts like these are just cleverly-disguised troll posts, designed to inflame the board. Sadly, I don't think so. I honestly think many MTs are just totally completely you-fill-in-the-blank. Its disgusting. WHY ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH WOULD YOU EVEN CONSIDER WORKING FOR THIS COMPANY? I don't know the company, but have read the problems for weeks and months on this board, and obviously so have you, and you call late paychecks - and we're not talking a day here - late paychecks HOOPLA, and on top of the other major serious problems with the company, which again you have read, YOU WANT TO WORK FOR THEM?? Sick. Go work for them, and then don't clog up this forum with your hysterical whines when you don't get paid or don't have work or don't have a company or don't have whatever you are looking for by taking a loser job. Sheesh. When does this end?
As you can see from posts below, new hires make more than I do. nm
your posts always make me laugh.

These posts make me laugh. I don't SM
have time to put a target on someone's back and I doubt anyone else doing this job does either. Many of us have a production quota to meet, just like you do. Do you really think I am going to slow down my production so I can gather my peers to develop a strategy to make your life miserable? 
Old posts say they dock lines if the client is unhappy and starting pay is very low for 1200 lpd. nm

I work on it. Usual amount of work. Not running out but not backlogged either. They seem to have
about the right staffing on it. Hope that helps.
I actually left about a year ago and work for another company that's running out of work. Have to

How does one count one's lines on DQS to make sure one's
Hard to make lines

Love Ops, make more lines on Ops than
anything else. If you haven't done it in a while may be slow going until you're familiar with equipment/procedure terminology.
Slow way to make lines
A friend has and it was much slower at line production but she had severe carpal tunnel syndrome... so it enabled to her to work is about it.
Now you can not make your lines in 9 hours!

Couple of posts above it was 4 new accounts, now it's 20? Make up your
mind!
Your posts make me want to jump on the bandwagon...sm
and go to work for Proveros! If everybody who works there has your attitude, I'd sell pencils on the corner before I would even speak to a recruiter! CHILL OUT!
Your posts make my eyes bleed -

I don't understand why people make posts
telling people to stop whining. Isn't that the whole purpose? We work remotely and as a result we need this catalyst to communicate with one and other. If you don't like people venting then YOU should stay off!!
If you can't make 1000 lines in 8 hours,
in the wrong profession.
They don't expect U to make lines during first 90 days
Hang in there, it will get better, it takes time.
I am able to make 10,000 lines M-F every week at eTransPlus - nm

EDMAT is very hard to make lines.

I make a lot of money/lines at Transcend.
It probably depends on the platform. I love the company; have been there for a while but also worked elsewhere. This company is the best. E-mail me if you'd like
You pay more for insurance if you don't make minimum lines also sm
I left there because of this exact issue. I started having a harder and harder time getting my lines, meaning I got a reduced line rate and had an extra $95-100 on top of that taken out because they didn't pay the employer matching part of the insurance.
Now you can not make your lines in 9 hours! More time for 2nd Job.

weird pay scale, hard to make lines, can't
make money, currently training women in Trinidad to do our job.
You can make up your lines whenever you like. Just drop them and email letting them know that you ar

Keystrokers do you find it difficult to make lines? Almost
a year ago I was offered a position with KS. There were lots of rumors going around about my company so I started looking, but I fell for the lies my MTSO told and stayed put. The rumors became fact and I had to find another job. I just cannot make decent lines with new company. I went from gross line to 65 characters, which by itself can make 100+ lines a day difference. The platform is boggy and I prefer to do Ops only, but doing everything but due to my scheduled work time and the tight TAT of Ops and I'm just not happy.
I was hired for an acute care account doing Ops at KS, but I can't remember any of the other details (other than of course pay). I'm thinking about calling them to see what they may have to offer (they said call if I changed my mind), but don't want to have to start all over again only to find myself in the same situation I'm currently in with no able to make lines.
Also, what kind of Expander can you use. New job uses SH and I really don't like it.
New TTer, struggling to make lines. Are they flexible on this

Uhoh .. does that mean it is difficult to make the 1300 lines per day sm
required for the 10 cpl? I was in high hopes ... sigh.
Thanks so much for your help/input.
Your posts make absolutely no sense. Glad I dont

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.
