For those who defended OTI with the "end of pay period" excuse, sm - Out of work at OTI

Posted: Feb 01, 2013

It is now the day after the pay period ended and I am out of work at 5:25 a.m. But ....... they didn't overhire or overstaff, and they truly care about those of us who have been with the account from the beginning, working every weekend and every holiday.

You're kidding, right?!! If you knew what I know, you'd be singing another tune right now. - sm

They do NOT care about their MTs. Believe me. I won't go into it on a public formum but they can be and ARE very unprofessional.

If you cant go into it on public forum, then dont - mention it at all. nm

I won't go into it because I'm sure the suits (you) are watching. - sm

and despite my anger right now, and despte the fact they know they have us "over a barrel," I do need my job.

Then, again, if you cannot back up a beware post, then - dont mention it to begin with. sm

This is what gets me on these boards. Someone wants to vent a little and then someone has to come in and just be plain nasty. I got what the other person was hinting at without going into details on a public board - but what I don't get is why the person who told her not to even mention it or bring it up would say that? What is it to you if he/she decided not to go into details? If you don't like it, move on - there are other posts - but I just can't understand why people have to be so nasty. How about this? How about stop reading the posts then if you can't read between the lines and oh, how about this? How about stop telling people what to do cuz we really don't care about your opinion!!!!

How about we focus on OTI and - MT

not turn it into a fight amongst ourselves? Which one do you think OTI would prefer?

Gee, I could have written your last line myself. - nm

Maybe before it is too late you should re think why WMX is still offering (to date) their production based incentive plan to new hires and why you (as WMX owners?) differ with your bonus plan based on quality. Is it true that some of these QA scores for bonus are scored with your employees in INDIA? After all we know you realize that WMX was a very good MTSO. That's why our WMX CEO (now your appointed VP over all transcription) was always so proud of our companies ratin ...

Just did a VR report where in the lab section, the VR cut off the first bit, but I'll bet most of you could fill in what was missing from context and by just knowing what should be there FROM EXPERIENCE. LABORATORY DATA: _____ 3.5, hemoglobin 9.8, platelets 229. I think that warrants being paid at least our regular, LOUSY, depreciated rate of 8 bloody cents a line instead of HALF of that. ...

Last summer my group in the north received an email stating if you are out of work due to being sick for 3 days that HR is requesting a doctor's excuse. I was wondering if the rest of you have heard this also. Can't seem to find it on MQ Central. I missed 3 1/2 days once a few years back but never that many since so I was just wondering if any of you know. I guess it would not surprise me as they treat us like "real" workers now. TIA ...

Hi. I know I am going to get ripped for these questions. However, I have not transcribed in a while and I cannot remember if mg, mcg should be mg., mcg. Can someone help me update myself. Thanks Carol. Also, since I am asking, for postoperative diagnosis do you type " same "or do you type out what the preop was? I would appreciate any help as there are so many different ways to transcribe it and sometimes clients have preferences. Thanks Carol. ...

and I'm a little concerned. My supervisor religiously sends out an email reminding people to approve their timecards, and this time - nothing. I've put in the last of my PTO to cover all the hours I missed this week due to NJA (which is basically a failure of management to staff accounts correctly), and she still hasn't approved it. She usually has by this time. My concern is that MModal is going to start pulling stunts like some of these other c ...

This is to those MTs who do next to nothing for most of the pay period and then the last 2 days decide to make up all of their lines. It really screws those of who show up every day and work our full day. I've spent more time hitting the "get next job" today than I've transcribed lines. I looked back at the last 5 pay periods and every single one of them on the last 2 days of the pay, I was barely able to make my lines. If you're going to be a slacker then just ...

Low and no work, multiple accounts. Lucky I got what I did this last payperiod. However, early this year I got a few bucks in MUP and was told to bring my statistics up or else. Now, I figure I will be either fired or put on probation for this. Spent too much time signing in and out for OOW crap. Should not hold us accountable for that, but you know how it goes. ...

I'm $200 short. The big difference is I did more ASR this pay period. At this rate, the rent is now at least 3/4 of my monthly earnings. How am I going to pay the bills and still eat? Hope I can survive until I'm out of here? Counting down - 7 more months to go until my training for a new career is finished. ...

Why are we still having to jump through hoops -- highlight and skip marker for more than 5 words, etc. - for the ASR? Hasn't it had time to "learn" all it is going to learn? It would be so much easier just to delete the crap we can't use and have to re-do instead of all the red skip markers, etc. Anybody been told that we can just DELETE and not SKIP yet? ...

Hello! I was just offered and accepted a position with Nuance and am supposed to start sometime this week (was supposed to get the new hire PW on Friday, but it did not arrive, hoping it will tomorrow for I really need to start working again..sigh). Anyway, I know that the pay period runs every other Friday, but what timeframe does it cover for transcription (basically, how long will I have to wait before receiving a check) and when is the next payday. I forgot to ask these important ...

First off, thanks for letting me vent because here it comes......why oh why can't I just work and stay working in this darn MT field. I've been doing this for 10 years and I keep winding up in this exact same spot. I have continuously worked for more than 1 MT company at a time and there have been a number of times I have had to work a 3rd MT job just to pay the bills, ya' know the basics. I will NEVER understand how these lame MT "scam" schools can eve ...

I love how they advertise that they pay for spaces, yet now (after the eBTXT conversion) the drafts are coming in with 1 space after periods. It looks all run together, of course, not to mention making it more difficult to read as you're editing. ...
