mmmmm

Also SE here.  I know, I used to hate when I was scheduled to work and there were very few reports, especially at the end of the payperiod.  I work overnights, so to adjust my sleep, get up and voila, no work or someone else is doing it ripped (on the old Dictaphone system.

It used to be, many moons and managers ago, that MT's were told in no uncertain terms that they were not to just jump on and steal others income. They were told to call the CSC before working any extra.  If they persisted in doing so, they would either be disconnected, or to really nip the chronic hoggers, they would just not pay them for the lines they made when they were not supposed to be on the system and had not called in for approval.

Now, with DQS, MQ just does not care who does the work as long as it just gets done.  The bottom line is TAT and $$$, it comes from management all the way up and when they call you, an SE to help out, why should we not do so?

Maybe I'm going to get flamed here, but I still do call in to see if they need any help (or they're calling me) and if I get the go ahead, then I will work. 

I agree, it's not fair to blame all SE's for the lack of work... I'm sure their are plenty of employees that work extra.  Correct me if I'm wrong on that but again, blame management. 

I know the feast or famine on whose working when.  I do the majority of my work on weekends, and I know just how bad TAT gets the first weekend of each payperiod and I feel pressured to work harder.

Again, don't mean any flames here, just stating my thoughts. 

Actually only one person said anything negative and that was that they didn't pay, but others who have and are working for them countered that and said they do indeed pay.

I started with them last week and am happy so far.  Haven't worked a full pay period so can't say for sure on the pay/don't pay issue. 

They have an office in Texas and an office in India.  If you don't like/want to work for a company that works with India also then it isn't for you, otherwise it has been good for me so far.  The account I am on is pretty easy and I am being very productive.  It is editing and transcription, from what I've seen about 1/3 standard transcription and 2/3 editing VR files.

Hope this helps.

Which accounts are you working?  Do you like them?  Are you making alot of money?  Does Hils pay on time, every time? 

Thanks

I joined JLG about 9 month ago and I am thrilled with the experience that I have had.  Although the company has been around for 20+ years, a group of good industry veterans who know how to operate fairly to both employees and clients have joined the company in the past year.  I followed my manager from another giant company. 

I have also worked on this account and it was plauged with problems from the start.  The hospital required the account to be implemented in a matter of days, there were technical issues and the hospital management staff was new and the employees were mad because transcription had been outsourced.  Personally, I won't miss this client but good luck to those that get it. 

There is plenty of work at JLG and I have already been advised on my new assignments
