GIVE IT A REST: Liberals work every
stop with the moronic stereotypes!
The only ones LIVING OFF THE TAX-PAYERS are the pariah's in Congress and in the GRAYHOUSE.
Spend a little more time doing your homework and a little less listening the babysitters on the right: LIMBAUGH, hannity, et AL ad nauseam
just got an e/m re lack of work
which we seldom have, but stating that we are all 'one team' and if we want more work we can call in and they can route us work from another CSC. So i wonder why other offices aren't doing that...
lack of work
 Are names of companies allowed on this board? I'm in the middle of applying to several transcription services, so would really like to know which one (s) don't have enough work available.
lack of work
Has anyone had a lack of work in the company they work for. I have been without work for two weeks and keep getting the run around from my company. I was wondering if anyone had to collect unemployment benefits or if there was something else I could do. thanks
Lack of work
I also did not have any work due to President's Day.
I am very frustated, No work due to Thanksgiving initially, then Christmas, New Years, and now President's Day? (Not to mention lack of work due to blizzards etc.)
I like the company I am with, supervisors etc. but am wondering if it is going to improve. I was promised paid health insurance, but have not yet reached the line count. How is it possible with any work?
Any feedback appreciated. Thank you.
Heartland - lack of work
Heartland never has any work for the US team, know why? They have to keep the Indian MTs overseas busy! Management (former MQ drop outs) try to paint a pretty picture for MTs that the software will get better or the clients are okay. Well the system is horrible and the clients are 110% ESLs!
Lack of work advice.............
Hi all
I wanted to see if I can get some opinions on my situation.
I started with this company in September and the workload was good for a while. I promised to do 30 minutes per day. I do this part-time after 4p EST every day as I have a full-time job out of the house. Since the holidays, the workload has dropped off and by the time I get home after 4p, many times there is next to nothing for me to do and some days absolutely nothing.
I was thinking of asking the supervisor if there is some other fairer way to divide up the work that does come in so that I can have some too when I get home. Would this be a reasonable thing to do, or would it be asking too much of her?
Thanks for your opinions. In the meantime, I am looking for something else too.
Most companies won't have the patience for your lack of doing your own work. nm

So, you think it is okay for hard-working MTs to earn 7-8 cpl for their hard work?? nm
:{
Thank you. I agree. Lack of enthusiasm in my work is bound to show up

You don't need any compassion. You need some ambition
Grow up.
Why is it only liberals who...
Dont worry. The future for all poor transcriptionists who work for a living, demos and repubs both, will be truly sucky. I think that is reality, not politics. Look at the way the transcription companies are going.
These knee jerk bleeding heart liberals could not take responsibility for their
actions if it hit them in the face as it did with Mrs. Twitty. The Arubans are sick and tired of her and frankly so am I. Wash the makeup off your face, take off the false eyelashes and go grieve for your daughter.
I'm not blaming MS Word
First off, I'm not blaming MS Word. I have been in touch with them about this problem, and THEY TOLD ME that MS Word counts differently on every computer.
The actual report that is submitted to the client is exactly where they get their line count. Count is based on 65 chars including spaces and nothing else.
Easier said than done. Quit blaming the MT for this!! nm

it isn't funny blaming it on Microsoft
Now if you want to talk about not keeping up with upgrades, then you don't know the history of how long it took to get a Windows version of ST on the market. It literally tooks YEARS to get a Windows version out with many MTs having direct contact with J and with J pubically apologizing and promising it was being worked on. I have to defend J. on this one. He passed control of the product over to Williams and Wilkins and that is the company who is responsible for supporting it. Do you really think a company that makes it's money primarily on selling word books and medical software is going to give much attention to this ~small~ ST when it has bigger fish to fry? Especially when all you have to do is utilize a verion of word prior to 2003.
BTW, FYI, it was Microsoft who communicated that it was a change THEY made to Word that caused the incompatibility problem, so anyone connected to ST was blind sided until users began to complain of problems. J. can only do so much. Blame W&W who stands by their history of failing to recognize how their lack of support effects how we are able to perform our jobs, or even accept positions with companies using 2003 because we want to continue using ST!!
They were given our jobs. Quit blaming

I know...Trust me, I WORK HARD when I work! lol nm

I would lend support to her if she wasn't blaming everyone but herself.
She was just on TV blaming these "two criminals" who have been left go because there was NO EVIDENCE to keep them and asking other nations not to take them in. Where in the world does she get off. What EVIDENCE does she have to support her "theory" that these two boys were "criminals" and who died and left her in charge of other nations as to who they should take in to their country. She is implying that the Aruban government is not competent to decide whether or not there is evidence to keep these people in custody. She needs to put her EVIDENCE up front as to why she is making these demands and accusations or sit down and SHUT UP. She is coming very close to libel without information to backup her accusations and I would think she should recognize that. If she is going to shoot off her uninformed mouth, let her do it in her own country.
How many of you ICs have to work really hard to
make double your money in one week in order to take a vacation for one week. I'm forever finding myself wanting to go on vacation, working doubly hard to make up any money I will lose while I'm off either before I leave or when I come back. Is this the way everyone takes a vacation or is it just me? I can't seem to give myself a break and just take off any time without making up my money that I'll lose. GRRRR. I think I need a break!
 
hard ever, except now no work
at MQ, so I have to do something while I keep logging on/off DQS hoping a doctor will dictate a report.
You did all the hard work. If someone wants
their own accounts they need to do whatever work needs to be done to get them. People are frequently asking how to get their own accounts - well DUH.
Just like people asking which is the best company and who pays the most, etc. If they want a job do the research. I don't mind helping guide someone in the right direction, but I'm not going to do their leg work for them.
I wouldn't fill bad at all.
I believe it can be done, but I know how hard you must work...SM
I just finished my 12-hour day and did about 2,500 lines. I'm exhausted. I had a bit of interruptions today, so I possibly could have done more. Yesterday I did about 1,700 lines in a 10-hour day, which again was full of interruptions. I can't see myself consistently producing that amount day in and day out. My wrists and arms already hurt.
All the power to the 3,000 line a day producers! You are awesome and a very hard worker!
We all work hard, MT and QA both
no doubt
There's a lot of hard work that goes into
"being the middleman". They have to secure the account, make sure it stays in TAT, keep their eye on any errors or changes and make sure the MTs understand and follow the rules, make sure the clients are always happy, hire the most competent MTs, make payroll, etc., etc.
So before you jump to conclusions and think MTSOs have nothing better to do than being the middleman, think again. I'm not being nasty, just pointing out some facts.
The work just trickles in every day. Hard to get
get on the dictation system, only to find NO WORK. Or just a report or two. And a bunch of other transcriptionists fighting for what little there is too.
I think my company overhired BIG TIME. I think they hired a bunch of the people who jumped the ship from Medquist.
If you are really feeling like this is hard work...sm
then maybe you are one of the many transcriptionists out there who are working HARD and not SMART. If you are SMART you will learn how to use your skills to acheive the MAXIMUM payoff.
The majority of Transcriptionist I have met really do not KNOW how to increase their line counts, how to be INDEPENDENT, how to SELL their services, etc. Instead, they are CONTENT making under 30,000 . You have to be SMART in this business and quit SELLING yourself SHORT. Learn everything you can about BEING THE BEST in your profession. The work is OUT there!!!!!!!! You need to seek it and turn down the CRAP that doesn't make $$$$. I am only a 5 year MT and last year I made close to 52,000 after taxes. Get motivated and get moving. The work is there!!!!
P.S. - Not saying I don't work hard and don't deserve
good money but I just mean that you've got to have some incentive to work as hard as you have to work to get through medical school in order to have people willing to do it.
The MT world is hard work (sm)
Honey, I've been a Transcriptionist for 20 years and believe me, it is hard work. But it was even harder when my children were small (I had 3 of them). It sounds like she knew the job wasn't working out and had to do something about it. I agree with the other poster...try not to take it personally.
Actually more than being lucky, your hard work
paid off. This was what I posted about. You, like me, had on the job training for about a year and it was hard and I really worked hard to get the transcription part right while striving to make production. I worked some on Selectric, even though clanked did not mind at all. This was not a job I took in order just to work from home. It was done because I loved the medical field and never had a clue some day I would be working at home but that was yearsssss down the road. We were a training hospital and some nights I would go home almost in tears, really hard but I really did not think all the others in the room smarter than me and that was my incentive. It paid off big time. My speed has always been about 140 while helps and even now after all these years look forward to each day. I do not work full time any more but hey, I deserve some extra time to myself now. I have earned it!
This is funny blaming it on Microsoft. SmartType only works in Word and they need to keep up with

I found out the hard way that first in always have the work. Supervisor sm
doesn't care what time I work. As was stated to me first come first serve.
It is hard to work for someone who drinks, and even worse
when they don't think they are an alcoholic. It really fries their brain,they are moody and unpredictable, and fly off the handle for no real reason.
I'm very grateful to have this forum and for your hard work.

I don't want to work that hard! OR learn somethingn new. nm

Why should this MT give away her hard work? She should go after what is rightfully hers.
:+
It depends on how smart and how hard you want to work.

Hard 2 make money with no work.
I would just expect a "Good job and we appreciate all the hard work you did for us over the

working at home is hard work
I have been working at home for 22 years. I used to get the same statements from people asking me what I did all day, until one Sunday in a local paper they compared 8 hours of sitting at a computer and typing to digging ditches 8 hours a day, not as physical but a lot of mental use, especially transcription. I do my housework early in the morning if I get a chance. If I have extra work at night, I have my family order pizza at night. My husband used to say to me what did you do all day and I would tell him, well I typed, did laundry, made beds, went to the grocery store, before I started typing, took kids to baseball practice. Now I am older and wiser and so is my husband and he does not dare ask me what I have done all day as he knows if I am working I am making money and if I have the time I will clean, but if I don't, then it can wait until tomorrow. Occasionally when people would ask me what I did all day (not husband), I would reply "nothing", just sat with my feet up all day lol. My feeling is this, if they don't like it, let them do the laundry, dishes, empty dishwasher, sweep the floor, vacuum, etc, and you know what they do and will. Don't let them get you down. Just because we work at home does not mean we have it made quite contrary, we work hard and just look at how our bodies fall apart because of it.........
My definition of hard work is totally different.
When I need a reality check on how good I got it with this at-home typing thing, I do my chores outside in the freezing cold or sweltering heat and realize that is about the only other thing I could do in this state for income, and I'd be lucky if I got minimum wage with no bennies out of it.
I guess you have to look at it from a different perspective every now and again. I've heard of people who leave MTing at home because they miss the buzz of an office, and then the cranky patient's and office politics breaks them down and brings them back to doing their thing solo again.
For me, the pay isn't too awfully bad because I figure don't have to buy fancy clothes, I don't have to worry about a car, gas, packing/buying lunch, and putting on a happy face if I don't want to.
We all have bad days. Those are days when you really need to take a deep breath or two and walk away for a bit. They will get better. If the bad days just keep on a'comin, well, then I suppose it would be time to look for a change, and there's nothing wrong with that either. 
...to alternate with your work computer. Not too hard to set up that way. nm
s
Nope, hard work and have to prove yourself.
Don't get discouraged though, we have all been where you are at...good luck!!
Complaints about hard work solve the problem?
Not at my office. It's all for one and one for all. I have never complained of course. Have you?
Durn I wish I knew how easy it could have been..I never would have taken this work hard next to
How much room do you need on your hard drive if you work for 2 companies at once. I know this is a
stupid question but I am ready to buy a computer and I am thinking of going part time with 2 companies and each one has their own platform but I dont want to pay for some hugh unnecessary computer. Can someone tell me what has worked for them if you work for 2 separate companies.
I do not work hard every day to support fools, yet I am forced to by this
I do NOT, DO NOT, care about people who put themselves in harm's way in order to brag that they have a 9-room house on the beach.
Because it is hard work to collect and once you know a company is a bad debt,
Got to know when to hold them and know when to fold them. She already lost on doing the work. Now she loses doing the collection work.
So what do you do to keep motivated to type during the work day? Sometimes I find it so hard to...
stay focused. When you're working at home it is soooo easy to turn on the TV, take frequent breaks to answer the phone, talk to hubbie, play with the kids, take a hot bath, play solitaire on the PC, surf the net, post on a message board, etc.
I just wondered if anyone had any miracle cure for the wandering mind?
thanks for a great MT week to all involved and for your hard work
