Okay, I have an OTI complaint, and I do think it's legit! - sm


Posted: Jun 10, 2013

I think the email we got from L. yesterday (on a Sunday!) was really overboard.  She said the were " tired " of work being out of TAT on the weekends.  Weill, I'm tired of there not being any work on the weekdays.  I happen to use Sunday as my day of rest and time with my family, and I truly resent being bawled out for not working on Sunday.  I work the other six days and have a life on Sundays outside of OTI. 

I am so sick of being treated like a second class citizen.  I can't leave this thankless job because the bills need to be paid.  I truly wish I could find a company that would have a little respect for their MTs.

And ONE more thing! - sm

Weekend work is always stacked up because the clients always dictate at the end of the week and pile it on for the weekend. Maybe something should be said to them!

And is anyone getting a shift differential for weekend work? Doubtful. - Angie

there was no problem with weekend coverage because employees were offered a shift/weekend differential. You think these modern-day MTSOs would get a CLUE.

Well, I thought the same, that I'm tired of not having any work on the weekdays. sm - Another OTIer

Still, if you think you get no respect at OTI, I assure you there are companies that are far worse -- classify you as an IC but make you work a shift and/or hound you with instant messages to work, don't pay you on time or at all, offer 5 cpl or some other pitiful wage, etc. Not too many companies offer shift differential or weekend differential, particularly as ICs, but that would be great if you find it. I'm not disagreeing with your post. I get unhappy too, but having experienced some of the truly awful MTSOs, I can get along with the sisters. I don't have a family, so I pretty much just count on getting most of my lines on the weekend or the late hours of the day. I have 2 other jobs, so if one runs out, there's always something else.

Maybe L has spent too much time with Poison Pen A. She usually does not send out emails like that and when talking with ehr on the phone, she is quite pleasant and helpful.

I agree - tired of begging for work

I work 6 days a week too and I was a little taken aback by that email as well. Now, here we sit on Monday NJA.

Not working - JM

The transcriptionists not working on the weekends or meeting their lines should be receiving these emails and be punished, not the people faithfully putting in their lines required and even working over. It just does not seem fair to hire more people because certain people will not do their job.

AMEN!!! - OP

that no one seems to be working on the weekends. I work every weekend, both days, because that's the only way I can make money. There is no work during the week.
I might do that too but Sunday is my DH's only day off!! SM - OP

and I'll be darned if I want to spend time working when I can have time with him.

And now with a brilliant strategy, they say they will sm - Sigh

[ In Reply To ..]
put more people on the account, but not hire anyone just for the weekends, SOOOOOO .... there will be even less jobs available during the week (if that's possible!), the work will still pile up on the weekends, and everyone will be unhappy. Well played, OTI.

OTI management just boggles my mind - I wonder who came up with a plan like this

[ In Reply To ..]
So, they said they will not hire anyone just for weekends? But, that's when the work starts stacking up and there is already NO WORK during the week! The last update had the account with a total of about 15 reports. And they have said they already have, what 50+ MTs on this account? A management plan like this is just so totally beyond my comprehension.

Insanity is doing the same thing - OTI

[ In Reply To ..]
and expecting different results.

Here's my plan for you, determine who will work for you and commit to lines, give them enough accounts and work to fulfill their obligation, and replace the ones that will not.

I am so very TIRED of the weekends too. Give me work during the week and I will gladly get on every weekend day to work.

Say thank you when people make an effort.

Or keep doing what you're doing cause it is working so well.

And some of those 50 MTs were no doubt also placed on my accounts - which is why I no longer have any work either NM

No work on T tonight either. .. NJA, so they can - Sigh

I just cannot bring myself to spend hours filling out an online application when they already have my resume which has ALL of that pertinent information on it!

The online apps, though, are the #1 issue for me.  It is insane.  Through complaining.  T ...
