I left for no work. There is work on some accounts, but NO
work on other accounts.  
2 of my accounts just left sm
They didn't want any part of DQS. Granted, they were smaller accounts, but steady and consistent work. These accounts were fine on MTs and did not want to go through the setup and transition to DQS, so they went with other services.
So many have left it is a wonder she still has any accounts.

It is a shame. 


I just left there and from what I understand they have had a few new accounts
come on board and need more people.
I left MQ for KS 2 years ago and love it. They have a lot of rad accounts. sm
I make great money even though I took a report pay cut because there is always work!
Well it sounds like no work happens a lot at DSG. How are the accounts as far as decent accounts
and their QA. 
I actually left about a year ago and work for another company that's running out of work. Have to

Much good work going to India. Bad work left

I don't work for TT but when I left my former job I
was hired over the phone with the new company on my first phone interview with them. Companies do not always test if you have the experience and they can tell that you know your stuff when they talk to you.
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. 
I left MQ and went to work for them. I am level 8 SM
and on an account with lots of ESLs and started out doing DS which for me, not very productive. I put in my 2 weeks notice, and told my team leader why.
I left last year because the work kept
running out. Sorry to hear that the situation hasn't improved--looks like I did the right thing. Oh well...
Yes, I can't afford to have no work so I left TT
I dislike the turn of events as they were my favorite company. I have nothing bad to say about TT. I simply got another job.
Sure, but what kind of work is left . sm
for straight typing?  VR rejects? 99% ESL and 100% crap?  At this point in time, there doesn't seem to be any reason for the VR MTs to envy the straight typers.
She left OSi to work for MedWare as an editor. (nm)

If even that much work left, and hopefully they will be able to afford aspirin. (nm)
zzzzzzs
I left due to no work for 2 months and they were STILL hiring
when that was going on.  I would stay clear for a while unless you can survive off of 200 lines per day and want to work 24/7 and fight over the lines as they come in.
I left there as they were always running out of work from overhiring.

Are there any companies left that do not work on platforms?
I have five years' experience but have never worked on a platform before.  I have worked straight out of my own version of Microsoft Word and am nervous about my productivity with learning a new platform.  Can you still use Expanders with platforms?  Any info would be helpful. Thanks.
I noticed that when I left DSG to work for another company...
my lines increased dramatically...don't know if it is because of the ESLs on the account or what, but lines were so hard to get.
Left 3 months ago for lack of work
and haven't looked back.  It is just the nature of the beast than when a network of accounts change to VR and MTs are doing more lpd now, there will be less work to spread around.  There were already problems with not having enough work, so I did not wait for the transition to VR  I had already moved down over the previous year from full time to part time because of lack of work.  Glad I made the move because I am also the sole breadwinner for my household and can't afford to go without work.
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
I just left a company due to lack of work, Monica.

Yea, you left out the fact that nobody is forcing you to work where you do...find a better job if

Are there any good companies to work for left??? Suggestions?
Looking for a place to call home. I am so tired of all the disorganized, cheap, and discouraging companies out there. I just cannot find a good fit. I work hard.. very hard.. and I would just like a company to be fair back, decent pay, benefits, organized.. etc.. Help...
I worked there for over a year...left because of lack of work...
one months lots of work, the next three months no work, so on and so forth...when there is a little extra work they do a big hire and once again the faithful MTs who stick by them have no work...I have been gone for over a year and it is still the same way...
Are there any companies left who don't send work offshore?
?
Ditto. Please don't buy a computer for work from this company. I left (sm)
this company because of lack of work.
I also vote for Webmedx - used to work for the Q, left long ago sm
Have not worked for Transcend or SoftScript so can't judge. I agree with the above poster; pay good, shift diff, PTO, decent bennies. Lots of work. Keep in mind there are two parts of Webmedx - the one on Enterprise platform and ChartMatrix; the ChartMatrix side seems to have more negative reviews.
Tired: Has worked picked up at FN. Used to work there and left for WX. sm
Would kind of like to go back. Loved the gang; I used to be a YOGer. Had to leave about 1-1/2 years ago because of no work. Still mostly IC? Thanks.
Personally, I prefer to be left alone to work. I hear from my lead when I need her and sm
one or two other times a month, never excessive like a certain company that is rah-rah'd on here. No problem with communication in the two years I have been with them!

Gheesh! Some people have something to complain about no matter what, surprised if even a Keystroke's employee. It is easy to form an opinion when only a handful of employees post here.
I worked in acute care and left due to lack of work.
My primary was just overflow, though they didn't tell us that.  I had followed the account from another company and there should have been 3 times the work.  Every week I was asking for a new account because they kept giving me accounts that were evidently overlow or otherwise very low volume accounts and I still wasn't getting 20 hour/week. 
And we're glad you left too. Plenty of work for the rest of us. nm

Has anyone ever left Keystrokes and gone back? I left a few months ago and realize that I made a

I have heard other people comment on lack of work and have left for that reason. How much of an

issue can this be.  Also, is the sound on these accounts poor.  That is the other problems I have heard people comment on.  I was really looking for uptodate comments.  How bad are these issues at present.  I dont want to leave one company with no work problems and go to another one with the same problem.  I cant be available 24/7 to get work with having a family.

It is as simple as filling out a form. I did it when I left an MTSO and when I left sm
a non-MT position at a company years ago.

What company? I did not know that any of them offer 401K anymore.
Has anyone recently left Futurenet Tech due to their lack of work over the past several weeks? nm

Can you say where you work if you get assigned docs/accts.? I'm tired of this pool garbage/left
s
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..
Do you work on VR accounts? NM
.
We have a lot of work, accounts out of TAT.
If anyone tells you different, it's just not true.
Yes. I was placed on 2 more accounts but still work is low.
nm
What are they like to work for as far as accounts etc. nm
:
No work for them now on any of my accounts.
Its slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
I don't work for TT, but 7 accounts? Isn't that a bit
xx
I have THREE accounts and no work.
nm
There is a ton of work, some accounts have

more than others.   I've been on OT pretty much every day the past 3 weeks.  They've had several new accounts come on-line lately and I think they've had time to get the kinks worked out and see if they need to hire more and they do and are hiring. 


They are very aware of the slow platform and are working on it, but working on it and giving us a time frame is 2 different things.  I'm making about 2/3 of what I was at a previous company, as far as lines.


I absolutely hate the clocking in/out.


Benefits are good, but most of them you will never use - short/long-term disability, life insurance. 


I think they have a good incentive program, but with the slow platform doubtful I'll get enough lines for anything over first tier if that.   I do get shift differential because I work over 2 shifts.


I think they are a good company, there is good IT support and some STMs are great.  I haven't had any issues with QA at all. 


If they get the platform issues I'd be 99% satisfied. 


 


 


My TT accounts have work
I work 2nd shift and have had plenty of work thus far. Had 1 slow night about 3 weeks ago.
Yes there is work. There are at least 2 accounts

that are on OT pretty much every day, but I asked to work on one of those accounts and was told that I could work on them as a secondary account. 


I had 3 accounts.  I still was only able to get about 15 hours in a week and that was trying to work 7 days a week and sitting in front of the computer for 12+ hours some days checking for work about every 5 minutes to see if I could get a report. 


If you look on the backlog report you see an awful lot of 0 going down the page.
