Drinking + posting = bad
Why would you think I'm bragging? I do QA for less than 4.5 cents/ line for cripes sake! LOL
I told her to take the 4.5 cents/line because it is more than the 11/hour they originally offered her - to which you replied oh and thats great? more than 11/hr????
I'm still trying to figure out what your argument is...! 
Haven't had enough java this morning...should be "I got laid off today too" and "ground&
Bad day...please forgive me :)
I only wonder what theyre drinking when they post those ads.

Or is eating, drinking, and belching....

Poster is drinking the joy juice today
I also have worked now for years with a hospital who went to EMR years ago and still our transcription works flows over. Ignore the rants.
I love your little photo ditty -- too funny! I joke with a friend that drinking decaf sm
is like drinking no-alcohol beer ... why bother? LOL
HAPPY NEW YEAR
Yep, sitting here with nothing again...
There is very little on the system, can't even make low line count. What is happening????
I have to vent, as I am sitting here SM
with a throbbing headahce and chest pain. Every Friday, and I mean EVERY FRIDAY, I have a day from hades on my account. I work on a difficult account, lots of ESL, but generally I enjoy it and get work sent I really enjoy. I'm used to the doctors and it is not a problem any other day of the week, EXCEPT FRIDAYS, when I have one awful report after the next. I will have the worst doctors, one right after the next, without any let up. It could be random, I know, but I assume they are cleaning the mess out before the weekend, when they have less expereinced people working.
Do other people have the same experience? I work for a large company, not MQ. The other large company. And please, no discertations on not being professional, etc. I'm actually concerned for my health.
I do dog-sitting in my home. $15 per day.

I would be a sitting duck. That is why I am
trying to get out of my present situation of working every weekend, because I am easily swayed. Oh no. Thanks for letting me know this in advance. This, in particular is a weakness of mine and I need to avoid a situation like that at all costs!
well I am sitting here on MTstars so...
That means there are no jobs. I ran out about an hour ago. Guess I will grab some lunch and try again later. Have a good one.
I am still sitting today and running
out of work. This is not fair. When I hired in, I was told there was plenty of work. Now, the accounts I was told I was assigned are nonexistent. I am being told that they not know if and when these accounts will materialized. I was assigned clinic, yet the only thing I have recieved are OP reports. Long, hard, unclear OP reports. If I was hired and paid to do them, fine, I was not. Was told I had to start from the bottom and can only be allowed to do clinic. So what the @#%^&^& am I getting this junk work for. Moving on Monday. Thank god.
I agree, but now I am sitting here trying to figure it out.
I don't work for KS and I am just a nosey person. Also, I type all day so I have nothing else better to do than wonder what the initials stand for. Sad. Very sad (I am referring to my curiosity). No joke.
Take pic of you sitting at PC with blanket draped
x
No, I am not sitting around. I am working all night
everyone is out having fun or sleeping. The only way to make a living. I cannot afford to sit and scrounge. I have no help outside of my own support and no family except a son to provide for, you better believe I don't sit and wait!
Also want to add, why should an MT stay at a co. that is always out of work. Sitting and waiting
:+
Well, this just makes no sense at all. Are you saying that TT management are sitting
posting positive things about their country to lure us all in? I know there are plenty of reasons to be paranoid about MTSOs these days, but isn't that taking it to a new level?
I am sitting here patting my foot as I read this
Reading through I got the impression she was not qualified in any way, shape or form, no experience and it showed just by what she was putting down. I am glad someone else saw through all this smoke.
In agreement with the above, sitting working on work
is just beyond what it should be. In earlier years I worked 2 jobs but each job paid every 2 weeks. One job paid 1 week, the other the next so my check each and every week was for 2 week pay period. How sweet was that! Now if I have a few hours downtime for no work it is fine, just take off, can make it up, don’t have to if I don’t want but very few times this happens and I only have a partime job now.
I am sitting here looking at an empty screen also so dont feel alone. What is going on with MQ out
of work like this. I have 4 backups and am still out. I guess they are hot and heavy on this turnaround time being nonexistent so they are over hiring now and we will look at more empty screens.
Yep I am sitting here with 3 large accounts and no work. Has anyone gotten any satisfaction from
speaking with corporate about this. These people in Amherst obviously do not know what they are doing. I wonder what the quality of this work looks like just throwing anyone and everyone on these accounts. Cant be too good. I have also noticed their QA people dont fill in blanks even for the docs that really are just more technical. Understandable with bad cell phones etc but just more technical or with an accent they dont get the blanks.
Does your behind get sweaty after sitting a long time in that chair?
My microfiber chair is pretty and okay but I get sweaty and I don't like it.
Sorry, but it's not me to go say "hey, remember me..I'm sitting with my hand out begging
for acknowledgment. Truly, not bashing the company. Overall, they have been good to me and that is why I stay. Maybe, they aren't the most organized but I am sure they try. I've worked extra to get bonuses and had to beg for that too (same thing..passing the buck..this person forgot to send it out, that person should have already done it, took about 2 months.............so..I'm done with that. I have a job and that's good enough for me. If there were any better companies out there, I'd be there but they have most beat on that. What I have found that overall the best place to work is not for nationals but local doctors. They are the most appreciative and obviously do not have a lot of employees so you don't get lost in the shuffle. Merry Christmas to All. I have my wonderful family who is my life, not my job and that is what matters most to me.
Well after getting tired of sitting and waiting for 2 weeks i just gave up. sm
Told work was coming in January, well I got trained in December so what good does that do me? I didn't sign in, just gave up. It took them 3 weeks to email and ask where have I been? Where do you think? Working for my other employer. After reading them posting jobs on this site day in and out I have no confidence at all in working for them. With all the time they wanted logging in and out, checking seperate web sites for line counts and QC, doesn't seem too friendly to the MT anyhow. Time to move on before I waste my time.
I'm feeling mighty depressed sitting here waiting on
.
Yeah, thinking about it sitting here in my sweats, hair up in a ponytail myself...sm
I must honestly say it is hard to demand respect looking like this. Thanks for making me smile!
It really does take unique people to be able to work while the kids are screaming in the background, the dog is bugging you because he wants to go outside for the hundredth time today, you know you only have one more load of laundry to catch you up for the day, and all the while you have the dictator who thinks it's ok to talk while he stuffs his mouth full of food, or to sit in the lounge where everybody is taking a break and making plans or whatever. Oh well, from the looks of thes print on these sweat pants, I haven't lost my sense of humor anyway. It is hard to be real serious when you are over 40 and running around with pink flames on your clothing, sheeesh! 
tired of companies overhiring and then sitting and waiting endlessly for work
The accomplishes nothing because then people get tired of not making any money and move on. Is there no solution to this?
If you can stand sitting for long stretches to fulfill your schedule, you might not mind it...
I prefer working a required line count, not a set, rather inflexible schedule as I had at Webmedx...It's all in what you want to put up with. They, like almost all MTSOs, could care less about YOU..they just want you to grind out your lines. My supervisor was new and fairly unreasonable as well. Good riddance...
That is why I left. I spent days sitting in front of the computer, checking for
work every 5 minutes (or less) for 8+ hours trying to get work. On my days off I used to work 12+ hour days to make up lines, but then they hired people for Friday-Monday work and then there wasn't extra work to make up lines. I would get up at 3 or 4 a.m. and try to get work. I gave it a good try, frequently asked STM for more work, went over her head. They didn't seem to care, meanwhile I'm taking $300 to $400/month out of savings to cover my bills.
I would be afraid to lose my safety net if I needed X amount of dollars to live. I am sitting here
now out of work with 3 major hospitals in my pool and I think if a lot of people all want to work the same hours this may be a big problem because they cant keep it straight now so I would be very leery of this until you see how it is going to go. I work for Amherst and this is a chronic problem with no work.
This comes at the same time they are pushing this TAT time. I have no intention of sitting here on a
set schedule for no work. The only reason I get work now is working erratic hours when there is work so I think anyone that works for Amherst better put down on their time schedule they send in they will be working when there is work. The worst thing that can happen is you get canned for working different hours and if there is no work who cares. They surely dont care about SE do they. They just pull the rug out and expect all these people with second jobs to adjust and quite frankly a lot of them wont be able to so I think it tells you they probably dont care about those people. I think with ASR and EMR they figure they can just trim the work force and the first they dont care about are those with other jobs using this as a second income or spending money. Pretty obvious to me.
