Volume is low. About 750 reports to type. Lockout in my group started Tuesday midnight. Our BOB has no work.

I'm a spheris MT, and as it looks likely will be a MQ MT soon, what does lockout mean?

Was told work volume is low due to spring break. - Might pick up later.

Always blame work volume is low due to holidays, spring break, some observance day, weather, etc.

This is a "Crock(pot) - MTIdiot

Yes, I've watched the availability of work plummet and peak numerous times during my 10 years with 'the company.' I have noted a strong correlation between events such as --- preparation for the introduction of the voice recognition program, and a number of incidents since C-Bay became the King on the chessboard. Of course, I believe EVERYTHING I'm told by corporate. All they have to do is "say it" and I know I've heard the word of God. Nevertheless, I have some kind of ornery brain malfunction. Whle I'm "BLIEVING IN SPRING BREAK WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL' ---- OR WHATEVER HOLIDAY IT IS --- OR THE NATURAL CYCLE OF EBB AND FLOW (just like the major depressions in this country and the world --- all happened because of the natural ebb and flow of natural law; human beings had nothing to do with it)
--- some ornery circuit in my brain keeps firing away. I could almost think I have Tourrette's syndrome --- because I keep seeing flashing neon letters in my mind's eye which say, "THIS IS BS ...... THIS IS BS ........ THIS IS BS." (short for Bombay Curry Sauce).

I have a question. I'm in the SE region where the CTL quit effective immediately last week. Is our supervisor gone, too? She never is good about communication, but I sent her an e-mail 2-1/2 weeks ago which is still unanswered and there has been no communication of any kind for about 3 weeks. Shouldn't there have been a communication about our CTL leaving? Nothing is completed in Schedule Source, etc. ...

Let me first say THANK YOU in advance, because I always forget to come back and do that as I get wrapped up in the next report (or 5 or 10 or 20, etc.)! I am covering for an ENT doc (I do rheum & ortho) so am totally clueless here! Doc says: Fiberoptic endoscopy shows some residual pale edema to the right _____ region. s/l pla-bia, pla-via, cla-via - The more I listen the more I keep changing the beginning sound. The end is very clearly "ee-ah" just not sure of the V or the B. ...

I've only been on DQS since July and still getting to know how all things work. I work in the North region, and today I am getting jobs from an account I can't find in my BOB. This account is in Tennessee, which doesn't seem like it should be in the North. Am I getting jobs from another region? Anybody know if this is possible? My regular BOB seems to be pretty much out of work, but I didn't know I could get work from somewhere else. ...

I think I've been up too long as I was reading the directions for text expansions and dictionaries for this "new" north region being created. Directions indicates loggin into DocQscribe use new company code and then proceed with copy the above. I don't ever put the company code in when I log into DocQscribe. I only enter it sometimes when logging into DocQmanage. Has anybody already logged in with the new company code and downloaded the tex ...

I was switched to new accounts back in March, a group of long-term subacute hospitals with the same name and locations all over the country. HIGH HIGH ESL. Most of the notes barely 30 seconds long, if that. They are the worst money accounts possible with more time spent on ADT than typing because the notes are so short. The ONLY good thing is that I rarely ever run out of work. My income has gone down over 40% since being put on these accounts. I ask ...

and my supervisor's BOB has been pretty much empty for really the last month or more. I have had maybe 10 jobs of my primary, secondary and so on accounts that Im familiar with for at least 2 weeks. When I do get jobs from these accounts a lot of them have been hard to hear (background noise and such), some of the ASR reports have been horrible with a lot of added words and whole sentences left out. This is crazy. Then tonight I check the back log and there are 2,000 ...

About 3 weeks ago I was transferred to a different region. Been with MM 9 years, with many different supervisors and BOBs, but always the same region. Was called by supervisor and told work load was low in her BOB and was "only going to get worse." ILPs taking over, probably I assume. She wanted to transfer me to make sure I had "plenty of work and stayed with MM." Not sure what that meant. I had never experienced NJA in that particular BOB. The accounts ...

Is it just me, or has anyone noticed that their line count average is sucking really bad since we got all these new accounts and then the new and improved (yeah right) software update? And now its mandatory overtime (probably because we are struggling with the new accounts). Yeah, I need the overtime just to make what I used to make without overtime. ugggg. ...

Just read the MQ Central news about the pilot program for a new position called Region Team Lead (RTL). I'm already confused enough, I don't need a new acronym. They said the CTL would now be doing 100% QA and transcription. It didn't really specify who will be doing PTO requests, etc. (unless I overlooked it) I'm glad I already requested Christmas off and it was granted! Thanks CTL! I'll miss you! ...

Anyone else having issues with having work the last week or so? I have seen a lot of messages about crap jobs and stuff...I haven't gotten much of anything. Getting tired of having to take PTO to cover my butt (can't take the no pay option..can't afford but..but getting close to having to, because I am using all of my PTO). Still sending out resumes. ...

Well, I am out of work. A LOT of MT's have been getting on in the evenings and cleaning out my primary and secondary. NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE until recently. Hmmm. Makes me now want to start popping on and work in the mornings. After all, I wanted to work days (not evenings) to begin with, but was forced to work evenings or look for another job. I really need to go back to school and do something else!!! Looks like this company started changing a lot ...

Ever since this merge, my primary has been out of work, hardly ever happened before. Mine is out of work because they're getting mine because their's is out of work and viice versa. Everything was fine before this merge, but you know if something is working at MQ, they'll screw it up. It's pretty much like the old cesspool again. I have many words I would like to use right now, but I'll get in trouble on here. So I'll just leave it ...
