How is the work load at TTS? - sm
Posted: Dec 03, 2010
Just wondering if you run out of work a lot? Looking to work the early afternoon/early evening shift and I want to work and not just sit there!

on the account, platform, etc. Hard question to answer. In the non-holiday season, at least where I work, the work is usually always there, very rarely run out but like I said it depends. That's a very general question for this company (and probably many others) and you will get different answers from different people, I guarantee it.
I say just do it. Won't hurt you to try. They are a good company, helpful, give you backup accounts so you run out of work less, pay on time. Honestly, you rely on what people say on this board, you're just going to walk away confused and most likely mis-informed by people that have been burned. Just go with your gut.
Thank you Depends - Enquiring mind

That was very helpful. I am also considering a position with them and was wanting to know.
at all. Every time I log in it takes forever and nothing happens. So frustrating! This is my shift! I keep checking the stop light and it says GREEN everything is working!
Not my night. ...
They are just not delegating the work adequately. This is my biggest pet peeve of all time. There will be several thousand jobs in my region and my accounts run out...and then I sit...and wait...and nothing. They say change your hours, well guess what? I already work mostly 2nd shift. "Make up time on Saturday." There is no work, apparently, on Saturday anymore either! In looking at the numbers, certain hospitals seem to never run out, while others are just bone dry. Overstaffe ...
Is there any way to know how much work is available?? Just wondering because randomly yesterday my account ran out of work which is actually quite unusual for me. So I was just wondering if there was any way to see how much work was available in a certain account?? Thanks for any help! ...
Have a laptop I want to load McAfee on. We used to have a download available on Qnet, but Qnet is no longer there on the old Medquist web site. Anyone know where it might be now? ...
I tried to get DocQScribe to load from the DocQManage page for over an hour and finally had to send in a ticket. Is anyone else having this kind of trouble with the system. It showed a green light on DEP. This is getting rediculous. I could not work my scheduled shift on Sunday because there were no jobs available (but incentive stayed in place). Now I cannot work my scheduled shift because of something else. I don't know about anyone else, but with a fam ...
Finally quit. Except for leaving MM I have never felt such a load taken off my shoulders. I am going to a hospital system where historically they do not treat people like robots, or slaves. I was going to try to hang on here, by hermiting (do my job and not look at e mails, etc) but decided to try to get out and with a lot of job hunting it worked. I still cannot believe how much pressure has lifted. Oddly I no longer feel depressed. I guess now I know what was causing my sadness... I am not say ...
We have been getting notes saying we have "critical backlog", when we usually get NJA. I'm wondering if we can start sending notes saying "critical pay check deficiency" when we get NJA. Since we are kept informed, maybe we should keep them informed also. ...
Always the same old song and dance. The subject of MTs needing more pay per line comes up, and what does the speaker do? Redirect the focus on all the added "upgrades" to their software they plan to buy (probably for hundreds of thousands of dollars) to "help us be more productive". Got news for them. You can only go SO fast. There IS a limit. And after all the emphasis on accountability and accuracy, do they not see that speed just increases errors ...
Am I the only one who runs out of work? I find it very hard at night to keep going with the dreaded no work available. At least during the day, you can clean house, email, pick up the telephone, etc. During the night, you are limited to surfing and staring! Then I am too sleep deprived to pull extra hours to make up for missed line counts. I am doing third shift for the extra incentitive but it doesn't work in my favor if I run out of work! Any ideas? Cur ...
I had Sunday and Monday off, as usual. Late yesterday I tried logging into e mail to see if I missed anything, could not.
This morning, in anticipation of my shift at 2:00 I tried to log in to e mail, intranet would not load. Is it just me? What do we do if e mail is down? I hope the clock is working, anybody who can please catch me up to speed... Thanks. ...
Hi all...I had to reformat and have found Enrich and the Webclock, but not the Nuance e-mail and SPARK programs. Not very good with computer stuff. Anyone have the actual addresses of these? Thanks ahead. I should have written them down before reformatting. ...
I quit MQ a few months ago. I loved my account and miss it. I am wondering if a certain North region is low on work too, specifically the one whose CCM lives in the same region as most of the accounts.
The large teaching hospital always was backlogged, with lots and lots of work. But I won't bother to reapply if the work is low. ...
I just got a new laptop and I installed express scribe, which I use on my desktop, and could not load any wav files on the laptop. I did windows updates and that seemed to fix the problem, the files that day I was able to play. A file that came in today I am unable to play though, but still can play the other files from Friday. They are all wav files and on my desktop I can play them all, just not my laptop. Does anybody know what could possibly be going on here? Thanks for all the hel ...
I cant get signed on yet again..normally takes a while for it to load normally..Then I go to the windows mail (which wont let me send a message) and that gives some kind of message about mail not loading..you would think a HUGE company had a better email system..really not a very hard thing to set up... ...
Hello,
I am finally getting my Dr. to move into the 20th century. Have a new Phillips 9600 digital recorder, new foot pedal and headset and downloaded Express Scribe.
ExpressScribe will not play any files I try and transfer. I get an error telling me I need to go to their website and get a component file for dss.322.exs yes it says dss.322 not dss.32 LOL
THere is NO such file there.
Anybody have any suggestions?? I really dont want to have to pay like 30 b ...
I recently downloaded the free version of Express Scribe. The "Welcome" message plays with no problem, but any file that I try to load plays super-fast. I am pretty sure I checked all the settings, such as F10 (normal play back speed) and the speed control in the bottom right hand corner. If anyone can help with this I would appreciate it. I did send an email to tech support but will probably never get an answer b/c I didn't purchase it. ...
