Who are you to say someone has "no life" because he or she chooses to work sm

In Reply to: Any MTs here who pass over job ads that require - Sun-Thur or Tues-Sat shifts?? SM
a day on the weekend? That seems a bit egocentric, the world revolving around you and what you think. I work Sunday through Thursday and am quite happy with it. And no, I don't choose between work and God. I work 2nd shift, and I have always gone to early church anyway just as a personal preference.
Unfortunately, people still get sick on the weekends, and if someone in your family gets sick on the weekend, you'll be darned glad someone is working. If you are so against working weekends, perhaps you should try clinic work. Just a suggestion.

I have 25 years exp and run into the "no work syndrome" also.
It happens! I got tired of hearing no work or can you go on later...etc. I went out and got my own accounts and it has be heaven!
Believe me, the no work situation happens at every company no matter what anyone says. I think I have tried every one out there and the same thing....great for the first few weeks, then caught up and no work.
You may need a part-time job to fill in for the $$$ missed.
Good luck.
She picks and chooses. Nice to some, nasty to others. It's called bipolar in some
circles, two-faced in others.
You cannot always arrange your life to work OT even
IF you wanted to work OT.
I agree...I work Tues-Sat and I have a life...
maybe the OP isn't that good at balancing hers that's all...I don't miss any of my childrens' activities and I also do not miss deadlines either...
Life is about choices. Nobody forces her to work so hard and
put in so many hours that she's hiring people and ignoring them. I don't agree with that, no matter what the excuse is. We're all busy people. We all have lives. That doesn't mean you have the right to mess with people's income and careers. Employees or ICs aren't just disposable commodities that you toss aside on a whim. It's called RESPECT for your fellow humans.
I'm sure it's NOT for "no reason at all" but
it might be for a reason you haven't discovered yet. Some of the reasons why IC's are let go are consistently not getting the TAT met (I have a gal that always says she wants more work, yet one of the accounts will have work in the queue for 2 days and she still hasn't got to it), consistently poor quality of work, not jumping in to cover work when workload is heavy and being replaced by someone who does the work at a cheaper rate. So it may SEEM like no reason at all but there is a reason. Still, one would hope one's shortcomings could be brought up so that there was a chance to modify what was churning out...
That's "know nothing", not "no nothing".
Sort of in a hurry there.
In a word....."NO!"
why would "no developments" need to be discussed or am I
x
You say "No one would have told you to purchase that." sm.
Did it ever occur to you that maybe the person at Keystrokes DID tell her that and that they DID make a mistake.
"no big deal." this MUST be a recruiter's
,
sorry, ICer, post was for "no name"
my bad
Owner has stated emphatically "no"!
nm
Please go back and read "No, you're way off..."
and then read my reply to No. This was not a response to your post, so please simmer down. I was saying regardless of what the man-owners of the company are, we were just sweat shop labor and they never communicated with us anyway.
That should read "no workers comp needed" sorry
nm
I'm just curious how long that lasts for you? Usually if I get a "no studies" message, sm
I have work again within the hour. I don't get how so many of y'all are out of work all the time.
You are pathetic! I have a great life, loving family, work for a great company.
You might want to fix that.
You really don't have to shout (angry person), but yes you are wrong!!
That is my last word to you!
I will add that getting a great pay check every other Friday from Medware really puts a huge smile on my face.
I don't hesitate to ask. Have been told "yes", and have been told "no." Never been to
:+
RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!
Nasty, rude, unprofessional.
I spent most days watching TV because there was supposedly no work, and when I quit they screwed me out of the money that they agreed to pay to ship their equipment back.
EVIL
You need to get a life.....
I guess you had a bad experience, but that says nothing for the more than 400 MTs who are happy at OSi. I don't understand why you spend so much time running down a company instead of being a productive citizen. What you give comes back to you in the future. NEGATIVE, NEGATIVE, NEGATIVE.....I hope you are happy in your life because the reflection here shows some real issues you probably need to work on.
Get a life.
I too have "worked" for them, as a slave I might add. I work my tail off and do not get paid what I should. You, apparently a company suck up, get paid what you deserve. Some of us do not. You are not in the know. I am looking elsewhere as we speak because I cannot and WILL NOT take it any more. Get a life. It is not just me as other people have the same complaints. Unless you WALK in our shoes just SHUT UP.
You must have no life. No wonder lol

me get a life?
ha ha ha ha. That's original!! Spelling police?? You have such an original way with words!!!! Things that make you go hmm? What year was that? I am so laughing and laughing.
Sure, but I have a life too..
get a life
.
You are the one with no life
I have not been on this site cheerleading for this lousy company for the past year.
Get a life...
You don't know me from a can of paint. You don't know the OP either, so get over yourself. CHEERS!
you think i have a life?
hah!, work, eat, walk 2 miles and do it again :) but really, its fun still. i never even filled out any 'stuff' about me really. but when you get 30 or more people on there that have a little something to share, it doesn't feel like we're boring !!
Run for your life!
The cornerstone platform is the worst I have ever worked on. I have just found another job and will be leaving in about 2 weeks. Keep looking, you will find a better company.
set for life
Wow, I know that when I went to school and got started doing this job, I didn't think I wouldn't being doing it for a good company. I wasn't educated on scam artists, and thief's in this business. I never start any job thinking I am going to do a half XXX job, and leave work undone and so yeah, I put in all the hours that it required to get the job done, I didn't get paid for my work, I got ripped off. I am not a negative person, I set out to be successful, happy, and yes SET for life. I'm sorry that you don't agree with that, but that is why people have 401K plans,and retirement funds and buy a house.
take over your life is right.
I spend most of my day doing this work. They say come back later in the day when there is work. You get a few hours off, but you can't plan anything.
Oh, I DO have a life
A quite wonderful life, because I do WHAT I HAVE TO DO TO EARN AN INCOME TO KEEP MY FAMILY AFLOAT.
I don't post on here to complain that wow, my job is so wonderful that I just HAD to waste interviewers' time and perhaps push another NEEDY MT out of the running but I had to turn down a job because it required I work a weekend day.
Get a grip. The post was complaining/whining/whatever you choose to call it. If you're in a position to turn down a 'wonderful' job, more power to you, but don't get on here and complain about having to do so.
The only objection I have is that she should have put the name of the 'wonderful' company so someone willing to work and put in the hours and schedule could have applied.
Perhaps YOU need to get a life...a life where you have bills to pay, are the sole breadwinner, and don't waste the time of MTSOs and try to push other MTs out of the running for apparently kicks and giggles, since she's so happy at her current job.
Sometimes I'm totally amazed by the ignorance on this board and whom people choose to side with or against. Guess it must depend on the lunar cycle or something.
*Eye roll*
That is exactly where I am at with my NO life. Thinking about what to do now.

To: Get a life, at Transcend.
Not sure if you saw the post below or not, but I'm looking for extra pointers on how to make the 20K lines per pay period when the work load is low. I'm a fast typist, have lots of entries in my expander and even have a lot of files already formatted with jumps in them to save time. I work during my regular schedule leave the downloads on automatic so that I can type when the work comes in. I've been working different shifts at different times, but still can't do it. How do you do it? Do you have to work more than your 8-hour shift to get the 20K when the work load is low?
Ummmm...a life maybe???????

Welcome to REAL life!
Working 40 hours for benefits is not a NEW concept. MTs have long done themselves a great disservice by balking at change.
You still have the benefit of earning more dollars, but MTs are FINALLY become like REAL employees. You know where you have to work the hours to get the perks???
If you're doing 30 hours, slow down and do 39. Problem solved.
OR
Go to school to become a P.A. where, I hate to tell ya, they're going to want you to work 40 hours.
Story of my life
ESL city!!! I got to the point where I just couldn't take any more. Other than Bonnie Monico who is top notch and a sweetie, it was a rather horrible little experience for me.
live s/b life (nm)
That is definitely NOT true..... get a life!

get a life, loser
The company is certainly better off without you so the owner's instinct of your worthlessness has been validated by your own rhetoric.
fact of life??
Currently, offshoring IS not a fact of life; however, it will become so if we all lay down, roll over, and beg for the profession to throw us the proverbial bone. I, too, have been in this business for almost 20 years, but there is no way that I will ever just roll over and play dead and just say it's a fact of life. If all of us have any passion for our profession, any compassion for our fellow man, any compassion for our fellow MT, QA, auditor, what have you, we all will not take this laying down, but will take Mary's initial letter from yesterday (can we Mary??) and send it to every senator, governor, any politician, newspapers, hospitals, clinics, etc., and get the word out to Joe Q. and Jane Q. Public, and see what everyone has to say about what has become the true fleecing of America.
I'll tell you what I don't understand; I don't understand why you are NOT outraged by the outsourcing of American jobs, any American jobs.
As with most things in life ..
You have to do what works for you. If you are getting experience doing something you enjoy, then you need to ignore the negative posts and be of help to those you can.
I have never heard so much BS in all of my life
Got tough so-called ESL (some Americans are worse) dictators? Get some samples or leave blanks. End of story.
Want to make some real money? Go out and get your own accounts and stop relying on the companies online to get the work for you, and then expect them to pay what they are getting from their client. That is unrealistic.
Got lots of experience over 20+ years? On what, a typewriter when stethoscope was considered an obscure term? There are so many new modalities that the scientific industry is moving faster than the doctors' can learn their tricks of the trade, when in turn can make our jobs much more challenging. You think because you have 20-30 years of experience that makes you worth so much? Most 30+ year transcriptionists barely can operate a computer. No wonder your line count is down. You've got to get with the times.
Offshoring is your concern? Well I fear more the newbies being hired from these online schools that half-train, and then the companies hire them at a very reduced rate almost equal to what they would pay an offshore person. What prejudices we have for foreign offshoring, when we have it right here in the U.S.
Now, I am all for helping someone who is new in the business, but if you are new and you think for one stinkin' minute you are going to make a lot of money, you are dead wrong. These newbies make it worse for ones who have a lot of experience because they will actually do an intership where they are paying to go to work and learn? Think about it. All of these statements are my opinion, and I am so tired of people moaning and groining about this profession and not trying to be proactive about it. Every profession has taken a cut in pay no matter what you do. It is not just transcription. It is everywhere. Hello? Can anyone hear me? 
Mag mutual, not on your life-
Had a horrible experiences there. Starting to work 1 day, could not get on, I had been pulled without a word or since then and no reason why. Still have no clue. Much better places to work.
Yep, life is tough all over. NM

life insurance
Do you know how much life insurance one can get without evidence of insurability? I need life insurance but have a recent cancer diagnosis. (I'm fine!) Don't really need the health insurance but can't get life through my spouse.
ATSI -- RUN FOR YOUR LIFE
Left there after having all my pay checks ,messed up- and we are not talking $5-10 -- mucho dollars messed up, paid late - sometimes a week late.. Losing accounts so MTs are being swtiched around. Promised one thing and given another. They change pay scales and do not let you know until you get your paycheck and start asking questions. Very high turnover of MTs and supervisory staff. Had 4 different supervisors in 6 months. Some MT's get shift diff, others do not -- depending on if they raised a fuss over it or not. Pending class action suit over pay practices. If you decide to work for them -- get everything in writing what you are promised and hold onto your hat --will be a very bumpy ride.
That has been my mantra throughout life and

life is just what you make it
life is just what you want it to be - that was a song, I think. ..
If you dont need much of a life, is possible. Better
