It's the big thing that a bunch of companies are jumping on. Shameful.

and they are running out of work
I have been switched accounts 3 times now, because mine keep running dry. Promises, promises.
Not running out of work
Actually there seems to be tons of work on the account I am on, but I just can't get my line count up. I know I am doing quality work, just not quantity, and would rather quit than be fired! It seems like for the first hour everything is great then every report I get is a different dictator. Just can't get the hang of their Ex-Text system fast enough either. At my other job, which is online based through FTP, I did about 300 lines/hour during my shift last night, so I am really not THAT slow :)
I did e-mail my resignation this morning but still have not heard back...At this point, I don't even want to finish in 2 weeks, Just want to be done wasting everyone's time.
Not running out of work.
The department is not running out of work at all. I am trained on a few other accounts as well with varying difficulty.
I will keep you updated. I'm sure if I am fired, I will be coming on here to vent, but hopefully that is never the case. I really like my job :)
5 accounts and running out of work
What's wrong is not on your end.
What's wrong is each of those 5 accounts having 17 people on each of them who have to switch back forth and maintain productivity.
Production and TAT improve if the MT is on one acount long enough to get a rhythm going.
There is also the problem of recognizing doctor's names. If 4 different doctors are mentioned in your report and you are on 5 different hospitals....well, you know where I'm going with this one.....
anyone running low on work at MQ today
At Spheris, if the work was running low
I would get an email from my supervisor stating such and telling us we could flex our time or use PTO. She was very much in communication with us at all times.
I personally think that the best communication between employer/supervisor and MT would be an email stating the workload is low, asking if you want to flex your time or use PTO and when do you want to make up your time so they can staff accordingly. Would be nice, huh?! :)
Keep running out of work. I think they overhired.

I wouldn't work for less. What's the deal with this woman and where does she work?

Anyone out there running low on work at Solutab Transcription?
ughhh
Is anyone else having problems running out of work at Wordzxpressed besides me?
Spellcheck! I would NEVER turn in work without running it - sm
The benefit is it will catch things you don't. As for it underlining the words, just leave them and run the spell check, it is probably faster to do it that way (at least for me it is), and running it does not take more than 20 seconds generally unless you have a really long report. The few times I have had to re-do or paste in someone's report into mine for an addendum I have run into non-spellchecked reports, plain and simple they were not good.
In general business're running slower than usual but running. NM

The worst problem with MQ is running people out of work all the time.
:
Will all the big nationals running us out of work and lower our wages what suggestion does anyone
have. This situation is getting extremely serious for people that need to make a living. What a shame.
Lets try this again. With all the big nationals running us out or work and lowering our wages what
do you suggest.
It is an okay deal - TR 11 font is small. Not as good a deal as Courier.
Personally, I would have to think really hard and compare reports and line counts, like the other poster below suggested, before I would jump right into it. It is probably 75-80 characters to a line +/- the single character lines you get for initials, and 2 word lines you get with op reports such as Surgeon:
IV Fluids:
Anesthesia:
etc.
It probably is comparable to 9 cpl with a larger font.
Good luck in whatever you decide.
Good Luck!
They have only had mandatory OT
once since I've been there, and they said to just let them know if you couldn't do it. I have never been hounded about my line count, and I'm more accurate than fast. I don't think those salary figures are so out of line for the stress and aggravation that must come with that job--there are managers making a lot more in other sectors. After one miserable month at TRS last year, this national has been a much better deal so far.
Mandatory OT
That is why I ended up leaving after 3 years. The OT gets old quick--BUT I think Amphion is probably one of the only MTSOs that pays true over time as in time and a half over 40 hours PLUS your lines, so it's something to think about. I do miss the money. I was on UW and not having to work any of the federal holidays or weekends was fantastic, but honestly, I wouldn't go back because of that darned overtime.
mandatory evacuations
They did make it mandatory evacuations and they did open up the highway, both sides heading out of town. We are all just sitting by watching and there is nothing any one can do, just wait for the destruction and heartache.
Mandatory OT?? Is this for FT and PT positions?? nm
s
You forgot to add that they have mandatory
OT and that they put you on the lowest line account they can. Given the choice between 120 lph and 300, they should put you on the 300, but they will not. Believe me, been here too long and getting ready to go.
Looked mandatory to me...
With PayPal popping up in there....that's not right!
That's optional, NOT mandatory! nm

Mandatory credentialing
Yes ADHI (AAMT) is working towards mandatory credentialing. Anyone who sees that as a threat or joke, probably should not be working as a transcriptionist. Believe me the more education and professional development you gain- you will reap rewards. They may or may not be monetary or happen overnight. Sometimes it is more about professional development.
Most don't pay and a lot of making it mandatory
A lot of companies are asking for this now and will not pay for it and will not let you work unless you have it. Execuscribe and Transcend are 2 that I know for sure but I've heard that a lot more are doing it or thinking of doing it.
anyone watch deal or no deal?
I love Deal or No Deal.......nm
MQ mandatory code of ethics course?
Did anyone else get an email from Howard about all MQ employees taking a mandatory ethics course? Hmm...I thot I already WAS ethical....
In my state attendance isn't mandatory if they are 16, so
you can drop out of school at 16, though here they do make it so you can't get a driver's license until you're 18 or something like that as a consequence. I don't know why he'd even bother going to school at all if he wasn't going more than that.
Jury Duty Mandatory
Here in NYS jury duty is mandatory. You can get out of it once or twice, I believe, but then you have to go, they won't excuse you any more. Hopefully, your State is more lenient.
BIG difference between DONATIONS and mandatory
Time to visit the eye-doctor.
His mandatory EHR will hurt MT's. If you dont
nm
I agree totally, there should be a mandatory
course for 'how to dictate decently', lasting a whole semester! Also 1 semester for techhnical training 'how to keep my dictating equipment running smoothly!'
I am also getting into the habit of 'making up words', when REALLY in doubt I go and check online if this word exists, LOL !
Well That's IT! Lifeguarding will be mandatory prior to being an MT! Hahahahah!
NM
I've been on mandatory overtime for over a week!
Yay! Love overtime.
Does your company pay for mandatory training/conferences?
Not as a new hire, but as a regular employee when they have a mandatory phone conference, or training for new platform, ASR, etc. ??
excuse sees acceptable to me since it's a mandatory call.
Life is too short and this seems small to me. Maybe it wouldn't be if I were in your shoes, but it does to me right now, for sure.
Enjoy life, one day at a time.
A breast exam is mandatory for a driver's license??
I cannot imagine a state where it is mandatory for a young girl getting a driver's license to have a breast exam. That just sounds, as does the pressuring you state by the doctor for the cervical cancer shot, so farfetched to me that it is completely unbelievable. I read very well, thank you and am unbelieving of most of what you have posted. Sounds like not only are you stressed but you have some mania going on there.

Mandatory for address for post office but otherwise is a style point--

I'm running XP pro w/sp2 and I keep
my machine in tip top condition w/regards to antivirus, antispyware, firewall updates etc...
everything is running well except for DQS which is still lagging today..
Running
Running and cardio in general is really awesome, but make sure you are doing some weight training. You will have faster results and not so flabby when that fat starts coming off. Cardio will burn calories when exercising, but weight training will help burn 24 hours. Burn the butter baby!!!
He might not know about running a
top notch company, but he knows about being a good lover. That's for sure.
They must be running more than 1 ad.
I saw the first one and now it's got the airplane.
What happens when the do get th EMR up and running
Then you won't have that account. Sounds like they needs something fast and temporary. Stick to your current rate.
I can see what is running, but how do you them off?
Thanks
Is DQS up and running now? nm
//
now we see who's running this
You're right. You're best bet is to wait until payday to quit. These people are nasty. Do you think she thinks she can take advantage of you because you're foreign (your words, not mine)? You obviously aren't that foreign (my words this time) or you wouldn't be able to get the job done correctly. $10 an hour is not enough for the crap you're putting up with, and you could be doing way better. IC is supposed to be where the money's at because you don't get benefits. I say drop and find something better!
Running on MT
First of all, I love your little avatar!  Second, thank you so much for the weblink. It is greatly appreciated.
It just keeps running...
but nothing on the screen...The Geek Squad said it was the internal modem that you would use for dial-up and they removed that and it started fine...now it is back to the same thing...I am thinking it is the video card as well...I am taking it back to them since I literally just got it back a few days ago...
All boards are up and running.
