In Reply to: it wasn't a can you help out, it was I need everyone - But
I for one know I do not want to lose the account, it sounds like you do not care, or maybe I just misread what you meant.

Get ready to lose that backup account when there is no work on it....
They are doing more hiring and they always overhire...
Think of it this way, if they do lose the account, you lose your job. Just do your part and be a te
x
So SE lose their SE bonus, lose the ability to work as much or little as they want and just
basically lose all around with no gain that I can see. Well, good for MQ. I am sure a lot of people will be moving on.
How could they lose an account?!
Too many goodbye e-mails for my liking, too. Makes me just a bit nervous to see Indians leave an Indian-dominated company.
Worse yet is the idea that they LOST a client! How on EARTH could something like that happen?
Use your company medical, dental, and eyecare benefits, people--you don't know what tomorrow could bring.
It unfortunately will be personal when they lose the account. sm
Is there any way to trace where accounts go?
They didn't lose the account, only one of the
work types, which granted was a large percentage of that account. There was a conference call this week and the other half of the company has signed some very large contracts and will continue to cover the MT side of things for now.
I am working now. We don't lose the account
for another month. I also have back up accounts, so I am hoping that I can work on some of those until I get a new primary, but I know they won't provide me the 40 hours of work I need to get by. I figured I would wait until that time to start bugging my supervisor for another account. I would rather not be too pushy. Afraid that will make things worse instead of better.
Haysee, What happened to the account? Did the company lose it
or did they go back to bringing it all in house to the hospita?
Yes but that means hiring a lot of extra people and paying out a lot of extra money when they can
have SE without all this. Their last report said they are making less money now than before and expect to make less in the next quarter so what does that say. We shall see. As part time employees you would still have to adhere to a schedule and I think people are SE for flexibility at least I am.
I'll love to know who you work for. I also work every weekend with no extra pay.
It'd be nice to get paid for all the nights and weekends I work.
me three! that company is a lose-lose situation if you want
.
Always work, usually all the extra you want too.
No special platform. Some accounts you can work in WP5.1 or Word, some just Word. Work is batched so no saving every report. The only demographics you have to enter is patient's name, all other automated. Daily QA feedback and QA is good overall. Use BOS generally, but not strictly - client dictates.
Direct deposit and pay is ALWAYS on time, even early on holidays usually. No charge for direct deposit.
If you are local can use C-phone, otherwise work is downloaded via FTP. They provide foot pedal/software but not computer.
IC positions only - but don't know rate. I've been with them since the beginning and am an employee. They pay based on gross line though, use Sylcount for line counts and no screwing around with your lines.
They aren't perfect, but most employees have been there since the beginning, little turnover. They leave you alone for the most part, no IM, no nasty e-mails, aren't calling every day for you to work extra, occasionally offer a bonus. Schedules are Sunday-Thursday or Tues-Sat, not clocking in.
MDI is asking for MTs to do extra work
Honestly, I do not know where you are getting your info from. MDI is really busy, so that leads me to believe you do not work for us. If you want more work, please call me at the office (or you should have asked your TL). I sent out a mass e-mail Wednesday night asking for help, help and more help.
Hope you are making honest posts. If you are, then I really would like you to call me either at home or at the office. My home number is listed in TT (although most of my MT's have it already).
Thanks,

Extra Work!
Does anyone know of any MTSOs that use MTs p.r.n. or on our own time?
extra work
I'd be happy to share, just E-mail me. Am not that familiar what I can or cannot put on reply message
But can you work extra
hours if you need them in order to reach your line requirement?
can you do extra if work is available - nm
nm
Extra work at KS?
Do you have the opportunity to work extra at KS? If you do, do you get paid OT for it?
Ask for extra work, they are probably willing to give it if it's there. nm

Suck it up and work the extra or move on!! sm
I am one of those MTs who had gotten sick. I hate to call of sick, but believe me, I could not work and then, once I was well, I stepped up and tried my best to work extra! Yes, it is the holidays and we all have a lot to do, but if the account gets behind and they get ticked, they can pull it and take their business elsewhere and where will any of us be? WITHOUT A JOB, that's where. If you don't want to do your part and step up to the plate for a company that is by FAR one of the best out there, well then you don't deserve to work for such an awesome company. Take it from someone who knows first hand, the grass is definitely NOT greener elsewhere. Look at all the MTs out there complaining that they don't have any work. I would much rather be in our situation than in theirs. I, personally, plan to work my tail off this week to help get things back in TAT! I wholeheartedly cannot imagine that QT is doing any kind of outsourcing! They have said all along that they do not support this! I hate coming on and reading things that are not backed up with FACTS. If you can't give solid evidence about the accusations you are making, then just zip it! Sorry for the long post, but it gets me fired up to see this company getting bashed when it does not deserve it!
If you work it you get extra cpl. You CAN ask for it off if it is on your regular days also. sm
Personally I don't think it is a bad deal at all. Better than nothing, which is what my other job paid for holidays.
Yes -- still at Keystrokes and still love it. :-) I am just looking for extra work. sm
I have worked 2 jobs for almost all of my life, so it is almost 2nd nature. I think you will find Keystrokes a refreshing change from MQ. They actually care about your well being and listen to you . They do not overhire. The benefits are pretty good. I do not have anything bad to say about them.
Good luck!
I've been able to make my hours. No, you do not lose insurance if work should run out. nm
nm
Where I work I was told I had to get them in or be put back to PT status and lose benefits. nm
.
And you are required to work 3 holidays per year, but you get extra pay for that. nm
internet or extra phone line work? - nm
nm
Just wondering if people are jumping in to work extra sm
since it is the last pay period before Christmas? Just a thought.
You obviously do not work there. They started paying the extra a while back for OT. sm

Out of all of you that are complaining about no work, how many work extra
It all evens out. I, for one, am happy when there's no work so I can slack off a little, and it has never lasted for very long. Maybe the VPN is down at the hospital or something.
For those who work 2 or more jobs and they both want extra work? sm
Do you automatically give it to the one you do full time or the one that pays the most? Feel like there is some loyalty to the one who gives me benefits. How do you all do it?
to clarify, not a cmomplaint about being asked to work extra earlier in the
x
Put the extra work in to studying ESL accents, word expanders, become
more proficient as an MT and you will become more valuable and get better line count. Just IMO.
I saw postings that all our work was overflow/extra support for hospitals. (sm)
Whatever happened, it has been ongoing since around the Memorial Day holiday. I too am getting worried. Christmas coming up, winter utility bills, not to mention the every day expenses we have in order to survive.
I am picking up a PT position. May be a little tired working the 2, but for right now it covers my butt.
Then when we MT's are **thrown on** an account because of lack of work on our account
What is so hard to understand about that?
Then we have that account info filed away in a folder in our Outlook Express by name of account and can look at past emails sent out regarding that account. Not fun to be tossed on an account that you have never seen NOR ever received an email on. Sounds like business to me.
My account has lots of work..ask for another account/nm

If you have work at TT, which is doubtful, without putting in MANY extra hours and NOT putting
the correct number of hours on your timesheet -- that is stealing work from the other MT's ! Also you are giving false information on your timesheet, which TT will eventually get into trouble for allowing you to do -- just like the Q got into trouble!
You are obviously taking the only halfway decent dictators from other MT's. Makes me sick that the leads/supes/mgmt-type people transcribe and take the cream of the crop from the MT's ! That should NOT BE ALLOWED by TT mgmt AT ALL !! !
It is DEFINITELY going on tho. TT management, you need to STOP this practice and share the fairly decent dictators with EVERYONE !
When I was hired on a number of years ago, I was told that TT had 35% ESL's. What a JOKE and untruth !
Maybe is it for a particular account. I work M-F. You are required to work one weekend an month.
a
Me too. As soon as there is a little extra work they hire and hire and then noone has any. This
goes on all the time. I get sick to death of it. I think having 2 part time jobs is better so you have 2 jobs to count on.
I used to work there and know people who still do...they have no work on clinic account but if you
are acute care or have experience in acute care you will be fine...
I work for them, have no problems with the account/work - sm
New insurance plan went into effect - I think it is really good, but that's just my opinion. They send you the equipment. They have incentive. I like it. Can't complain.
What account do you work?
/
Do you work on a VA account? nm
.
Could be the account too, I don't know how they work out their pay...
but maybe it could be based on whatever the account is willing to pay. Not sure!
What account do you work on? My
accounts are rarely out of work.
you must be on the same account I am on. Not enough work
Not making enough money for family.
Don't see how we can be out of work when new account
to protect them, but what about us MT's waiting for work. Interesting when I hit my 3-month anniversary with TransTech, my work disappeared. I am not sure what to think of TT at this time ... No matter how nice someone is -- supervisor, office staff, etc.), if there is no work, WORK is what pays my bills.
So do you work the ER account or
do you work their acute care accounts. He said that the pay is figured differently and that there is no 12-hour window with ER because of the require TAT.
I am just looking for a permanent home where I can stay, instead of signing on and then finding that the line requirement is impossible because there are so many residents, PAs, NPs, and ESLs who are not organized, so leave huge blank areas on the audio or they are constantly saying go back and change, go back and add, etc, that your production is shot. Get a great audio minute count, but they never seem to look at that.
I have a lot of work. I was going to say that maybe it was just your account, but your on 7?? WOW..
I would double check that something funky isnt going on with your work queue. Maybe, it's not opened up all the way you get different work types etc.
I don't work on that particular account but . . SM
right now work is slow on every account.
Wonder if you work on a different account? NM
sssssss
I work that account. It isn't all that bad. sm
I've had worse too.
