In Reply to: How's your work load going Monday, January 9? - Good, bad or UGLY?
Haven't had a very good work load for 3 weeks or so now. I used to like this company, but not any more. Can't pay the bills on this paycheck.

Workload?
I work for a company now but am debating switching to another company because I only get about 4 hours worth of work a day now. That doesn't pay the bills. Do you know what the workload is like for this company? Any other info would be helpful as I received an e-mail from them and they want me to test out. Thanks a bunch.
Low workload
A bunch of my docs took early vacations starting this week, but I do clinic work.
This time of year is a great time to pick up overflow work. With 21 years of experience, I would start calling local clinics or hospitals and asking if they need some help over the holidays. You can keep the other gig for a couple more weeks and fill in with the overflow.
If 7 cpl is the top of the scale there, start looking elsewhere. That's way too low for 21 years.
Low Workload....
We're being told it's the time of year but it's my third summer with this employer, and we were never slow like this during the other two summers.
I think it's the overall state of the country's economy and will turnaround (hopefully) soon.
In the meantime, I've taken a couple of other part-time positions "just in case".
Hope everything works out okay for you!!!
A TL is for workload management ONLY SM
If you are going to her to ask questions about software, blanks, format, etc., you are going to the wrong person. Software issues for the help desk and blanks, format issues for QA.
Team leaders SHOULD just be routing work, seeing that there is adequate staff to do the work, etc.
QA workload/feedback
As a former QA I can tell you that it was different before they gave us a quota to produce a certain number of edits per shift. It used to be quality was the important issue and then it got to be quantity and at the same time they cut back on the staff in QA and, to me, this just spells greed. We no longer had the time to provide proper feedback on each report and still achieve the quantity they wanted. It is sad. The situation only seems to get worse over time. Greed is the root of all evil and will be the cause of demise in this industry.
Good workload, bad dictators! nm
If it's an accurate representation of their workload, well,
who wants their lousy job anyway? I'm not doing ESL garbage all day long and making peanuts at this job. I work on my terms or not at all. Send them the three tests and tell them you can't do the fourth. Otherwise, keep applying elsewhere. There are better jobs to be had without all the testing and without the lousy dictation.
Unfair Workload Assignment
When looking at the workload assignment especially on weekends, I find it very unfair that people with exclusive privileges and trainees get to take all the good work when I have to do all the difficult dictations and ESLs before getting to do any good stuff. Work is always supposed to be taken according to date order (which is clearly not the case). I am so mad right now, I am literally screaming!
