I think it began with taking over another company a few years ago and acquiring their Indian facility. Then trying to change the whole company over to Cornerstone, losing some of their business, introducing VR, low work volumes, many MTs unhappy with the new compensation ... and acquiring CHS. On my last account their, manager said the facility is complaining about too many blanks...then said use the blank more often and produce more.

you seem frantic
I am also an SE. I keep in close contact with my supervisor. I am needed and so are you. We will always have the option of full time employment, which I am taking this Nov. Please don't worry yourself.

Could it be more frantic because of them taking over the CHS accts? My 3 hospitals have turned us over to Spheris and we will start with Spheris then the end of May. We were told while we were training, a Spheris Team would take over for us. Really wish I felt more positive about this change, and will try and see how it is for the 3 months probation and then....
Only management would be so frantic about this.

Glad for you. It's even more frantic and

What a frantic situation! She is treating you like
a marionette. This sounds like it isn't going to get any better and every day will be the same jerking around as the previous one was. I'd be a wreck with the phone calls.
I get stressed with the 95% ESL too
and work types that I don't like to do and wasn't hired to do (course I wasn't hired for the 95% ESL either). One day I can handle, 2 days back to back is too much. If I was paid hourly it would be different. I start looking for jobs, send out resumes, post resumes .... I interview, test, ace the tests, everyone is anxious for me to work for their company, but they don't pay squat, I have to punch a clock, do xx lines, etc. I've done this 3 or 4 times the past 5 years and finally decided there just isn't better out there and on the bad days I just need to take a deep breath and keep plugging away. I make good money (not as good as you) but I have to really work to get it and I can't imagine doing this job for any less than I currently make.
So sorry you are stressed! I've been with JLG (also from MQ) for a while now
and love it. Maybe you should call and talk to someone there and they can help you out. Good luck to you!
You're right, of course. I'm just cranky and stressed. nm

Hey Stressed! Glad you got the reply!
I think you'll find it easier than you may think and you'll breeze through it. I write you IF you know who goes to sleep tonight 
definitely a deciding factor there. I am already stressed
with my current situation and huge cut and turned down a few other offers b/c high ESL would be MORE stressful, so good to know. thanks so much for the heads up...are you a TT?
Thanks. I'm a bit stressed after reading the handbook. It looks
very cumbersome and I'm afraid I won't be productive, but I have worked on the account for 5 years so I'm hoping knowing the dictators and their quirks and the account specifics will be enough to help makeup for learning a new platform.
It IS very stressful. I'm so stressed out from the rollercoaster
Last week made good lines, good money. Even got an email that said the slow period was over. This week? Nothing.
I've been doing this hardcore for the past year with different companies even. I can't take it anymore but MT is all I know how to do, been doing it for almost 20 years.
(cont'd) mgmt always pushy and stressed out

I looked at that, thought it didn't look right but was stressed from testing (lol - sorry) nm
Not anymore. I think the nuts have moved on and the owner is less stressed now. I see a sm
a much calmer atmosphere this time around. I've been back just over a year and it is night and day from four years ago.
Ah, just less ESL's so I am not totally mentally exhausted/stressed/hurting all over by end of sh
This job has become more and more difficult/stressful during the past 4 to 5 years -- since outsourcing and voice recognition. I had rather work for less $ any day than get the sloppy dictators/ESL's that the U.S. MT's end up with. Also the doctors whose dictation is not compatible for voice recognition software is being passed on to the MT's.
This job was so fun and exciting about 5 years ago, and I put in MANY extra hours (and made good money) because I did enjoy the job and also the extra money. It seems there is just not enough money offered to pay for the type of dictators/reports that we can get now in this profession. I am probably the only one who feels this way, but I am just being honest.
Sorry. No nerve struck. Just my bad post-Thanksgiving pre-Christmas stressed
out mood.
