Archivus out of work AGAIN!!!! - frustrated

Posted: Dec 01, 2009

Well, again Archivus called us off today and it looks like tomorrow we will be off again!!! We were off this whole weekend also. This is getting really, really old!!!!!!!! Anyone else "working" for them?

Work is always slow at this time of the year - Not unusual NM

I understand that, I've been doing this for a long time. But this is not how it usually is for this place. We've been called off way too much lately and it's getting old!!!

At least they call you off rather than making you sit all - sm

day staring at your computer for no pay hoping a report will come in like some companies! Hope your work picks up for you soon.

We received an e-mail this morning about checking on it, waited all day, nothing and then this morning got an e-mail about no work to type. Last year it was not like this. The year before they were griping people out for not putting in their schedules around the holidays because the backlog was so high, this year, notta. It's been like slowly going down hill for a few months. Thing is, I see they had an ad for transcriptonists on the MTDaily board. What for, they don't have any work. At least not on this Novant system that they have. It's beyond me how companies think people are going to stick around for a paycheck that never comes. They don't have any benefits, no PTO or anything, so if you don't type, you don't get paid.

Since last week, - sm

I've only worked three days. Oh, they thank us for our patience but that doesn't pay the bills. I think we're fighting a losing battle staying with them. This is the worst job I've ever had.

agree with you on one of the worst places ever worked - no transcription support whatsoever

Does this company hire and then after a quarterly review have QA pick your work apart and then tell you they can either terminate your contract or cut your pay. Understand this has happened to more than one person. Has anyone experienced this. They told me I was doing awesome work, not they picked the work after and then tell me that in 2 weeks my contract will either be terminated or will have a reduced line rate. This makes no sense. I have 18 years experience.&nb ...

Any current info on either of these companies; pay, how the management treats MTs, enough work? Trying to make a decision.

Does anyone work for Archivus? For the last couple of weeks it's becoming quite a pattern for them telling us not to log on and work until they give the okay with no explanation except that it's per the facility, usually ending up missing one or more days of work. Not sure if they are running out of work or not. Anyone know? ...
