Companies who route work - MTatWork

Posted: Nov 15, 2009

I work for a company that ROUTES work to me each day and I can truly say I LOVE my job. I have been with my company for many years and they never hire, and why...........because we ALL love our jobs and we don't quit, so no need to hire more MTs. I am required to work Monday through Friday, but I work Monday through Saturday by choice AND I am given my work each morning and I type 1500 lines per day. I work the day before Christmas, the day after Christmas, etc. Things don't "slow down" at holidays and such as that.

I am just typing this because I WISH other MTSO would do it this way. I hated back when I used to have to fight for work, sit around with no work, etc. I know what my pay will be each two weeks and it always is. It seems that if MTSO realized this worked, that maybe they would start it and maybe keep employees around so everyone wouldn't have to job jump so much.

routing work - mtmt

That would be wonderful except that a lot of MTs are unreliable. Route work to them and then they would be unavailable for an entire shift and the work wouldn't get done. Just read on this board who yell they want to be true IC, which is you can't tell me when to work but there better be work when I feel like doing it (I know all ICs aren't like that, me being one of them, so no nasty replies). It probably would work well for those who have employee status and are required to work certain hours.

do you mind sharing - nemt

I used to have a job like that until the company sold out. Oh how I wish I could have that again! I'd love to go back to typing 1500 or 1800 lines per day instead of working from a pool, fighting for any scraps that might come my way. Congratulations on finding such a wonderful "home" - and thanks for sharing - makes me hopeful there still are positions like that out there that I might stumble across one day!

what is the name of your company? - n/m

Can anyone answer me why is it that these MT companies hire you and they all promise you the sun, moon and stars. Oh we have TONS of work. We guarantee you at least 11 accounts and 2,500 lines a day. Then you are sitting there 6 months later, waiting for jobs? I have experienced this many times. Can it be that its just bad management and they overhire? Does anyone know of a company that really does have TONS of work? I know this is the slow time of year, but many times its happened at othe ...

The company I work for has gone VR (on most jobs). I cannot make any money doing this. My pay has been cut approximately $150 to $200 every two weeks. They have already taken away the incentives, and now if you screw up a couple of times on demographics, you do not get paid for the job, and the third or fourth time you are pulled from the account. I am just so frustrated. This VR is killing me. It takes more time to make corrections. It is frustrati ...

So, I see it all of the time, people on here complaining about no work, yet the company they are complaining about is HIRING. My job recently did this as well. I am day after day running out of work, but yet I see an ad that they are hiring! I e-mailed the owner and asked about it and she didn't reply. I UNDERSTAND that they are hiring for a different account, BUT, since it's all transcribing, why not just move some people around and give those extra accounts to ...

Periodically, I will cruise the MT help wanted, and see some companies that list the system requirements as "must have XP." My question is this: I wonder if they mean must have at least XP or do they mean MUST HAVE XP. I find it difficult to believe that any system out there only works with XP, as Vista has been around for a good long while and even Windows 7 (which I wish DocQ would update to) has been out for a bit. I mean, it would be very difficult to find a computer ...

can make it on $15 a day!! I just started a week ago yesterday and have also run out of work twice. This is really pathetic. I know some on here say they would never take such a low paying job (4 for editing and 6 for straight typing). Had I not been desperate, believe me I would not have either. I have to wonder what happened. I know I will get a lot of answers to that question, but why in the world are we the ones getting such lousy pay? I am seriously ...

guess if you cannot understand something. Oh they won't tell you straight out to guess, but that is what they want you to do. It is the same ole blame the MT mentality. If the ESL is horrible, do not dare ask them to speak better. MAke the MT guess and if SHE gets it wrong, it is on HER head. No thank you!! God what I would not do to find something else:))) ...
