Wishing all a pleasant day and weekend as we - all remember we can


Posted: May 16, 2014

only do our best, and transcribe what is dictated.  This is just a job and not what what you are; you are a human that is trying your best in an unfortuante situation, so appreciate the other wonderful things about yourself.  So hang in there, take a deep breath, think a pleasant thought when things get bad and if you have to walk away for a minute.  I wish the best for each and everyone as I am in the same boat as you.

TY. Same to you. It's nice to see a positive post. - clb

Knowing that one day I'll be gone from this job makes me smile. Petting my dog for a few minutes just melts the stress away. I wish I could be her sometimes, no job, no worries, just live in the now, be a dog, be happy, everything is my favorite thing LOL

Good day to you :-)

thanks for a great post - anon

We should remind ourselves of this often.

Your post is a great ray of sunshine - in the ongoing storm

Thank you. I only hear back from anyone in my company with a correction, never "good job", though I often work overtime as needed and always try to do my best, so it's really nice to hear from a real "sister" here. That was very uplifting :)

Thank You, Moderator, For Wishing Us All

I just realized that you might not have received a thank-you for the pretty graphic with "Merry Christmas" on it.  I appreciate you for all you do to keep these boards up and running.  It's a thankless job, I'm sure.  ...


Lately Every Day I Sign In I Have Been WISHING
Apr 03, 2015

I mean no disrespect to those who are OOW and don't want to be and can't afford to be, believe me.  I am sure one day, probably suddenly, it will happen to me, too.  (Too bad it couldn't just happen occasionally and not constantly but alas I am sure that is not how it works).  But lately I have no motivation to work.  I am constantly hoping to see that NO WORK AVAILABLE message.  I am so sick of this crappy work with the rudest, most disgusting-sounding d ...


I Had A Pleasant Application And Testing
Sep 23, 2014

with CBS Transcription. The recruiter provided test results which has not happened on the few times I tested for a company. Her emails were not canned text and she was quite pleasant. Unfortunately, CBS uses Express Scribe which is an AWFUL program now. I could not get the auto backstep to work no matter what I did with the settings. Not sure how one could make any money using that. ...

WEEKEND INCENTIVES
Nov 10, 2009

How do you guys feel about the weekend incentives that MQ sometimes offers?  You know, the 3 cents per line more for exceeding a line count that they calculate from the past for you.  Do you actually make more money or is it eaten away by taxes, and is it worth busting your butt for?  ...

New Weekend Incentive...sm
Oct 15, 2010

Same old yada, yada, yada. It seems like they set my minimum at too many lines for me to ever achieve it so I don't even try.   BUT did you read the towards the bottom of the email where it says that the payout is Nov 25 EXCEPT for former spheris employees who will get their incentive $$ ON OR BEFORE NOV 5!!??? This is not fair. But then, when is this company ever fair. ...

NJA Again After A Full Weekend Of NJA
Jul 09, 2012

and yet my CCM sent out a message requesting assistance on one of my accounts for this coming weekend.  What the blazes!  I have had NJA on all but one of those days she is requesting help for the last couple months.  What is she thinking?  It is quite obvious that the account is over staffed on a couple of those days and we will not need the help this week.  Its frustrating as I am barely making enough to live on as it is due to constant NJA and now she is asking for he ...

Here we go again, incentives offered for weekend and having to meet minimum lines to earn the incentive, but work is popping up so slow it isn't even funny.  My time card looks like I just clock in and out for the fun of it.  Come on!  Where is the work to even make the incentive pay? ...

I Was Not Allowed To Take Off For This Weekend.
May 25, 2013

As I watched my family leave and our dog to head to our relatives cabin in the next neighboring state last night, I cleaned the house and did some laundry and worked my last hour typing.  This morning I am ready to work my 8 hours and what happens???  NO WORK.  You think I would be used to this by now after all these years, but now I am really ANGRY!  I have done this when it is Easter, Thanksgiving, Fourth of July, etc.  That is it.  No more will I ...

MOT On A Holiday Weekend And More

There is nothing more irritating to me than to call for MOT on a holiday weekend knowing darn good and well that the workload will slow down and work might trickle in for the majority of the accounts, yet you expect an extra hour of overtime... kiss my grits MM You offer bonuses for certain groups in a POD, send out emails on backlog and MOT for our group, yet I'm getting accounts from someone elses POD, not some other group but someone elses POD... kiss my grits MM You ding me for puttin ...

Required 4 Weekend Hours?
Mar 09, 2010

I work for the NorthEast section of Medquist and my supervisor wanted to verify all of our hours before we started getting locked-out of working hours other than our scheduled hours. When I emailed my hours to my supervisor, I stated that I wanted to drop my 3 hours I had previously been scheduled on Sunday night since I was having a hard time keeping those hours. Mind you, I already work 9:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. Monday through Friday and 8:30 to 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday. She then wr ...

Mandatory Weekend Hours
Aug 12, 2010

My CCM has been harping on us voluntarily changing our scheduled to weekend hours, how "it won't hurt a bit" and you may quote me.  I already work every Sunday, but they want me to now work a 6th day, splitting one of my other days where they no longer need me to work, into Friday evening hours.  How am I supposed to do this when I already have a second part-time job on the 2 days I have off?  If they didn't slash my salary by 40%, I wouldn't have to work around the ...
