Question for ScribeRight DMTs - Starting to Get Worried

Posted: Jul 09, 2012

For those of you working as DMTs, are you starting to worry about the scheduled conference call? All of them, it seems have worked hard to be sure things would go well, and we would have work, but this lull is about to do me in. I want to hope for the best, but I am wondering if they are going to let some of us go since they overhired, or let us know the work will either not be coming as scheduled or not coming at all. I guess I am imagining the worst case scenario. What do you all think?

I have had the same thoughts myself. I am a little frustrated and concerned. I really do love this job... definitely the change I needed after many years as an MT - the staff are awesome, too. I just hate the uncertainty of waiting and waiting and waiting... as I am here browsing the want ads this morning.....

I don't have a good feeling about it - sm

As of the first week of July I thought I would have work Friday or Monday. But then this email came so suddenly and stated that the huge wave wouldn't be here until 2013. I just have a bad feeling that the work isn't going to be here for quite some time. I can no longer wait around, unfortunately. I am testing for other jobs today, which makes me sad because I really do love SR and doing this work, but I need to pay my bills.

I do not have a good feeling either - Wish Things Were Different

I, too, am looking for jobs and testing. I've read how others were able to keep a 2nd job and work both, but when I was hired here I quit my MT job and concentrated on DMT exclusively. I hope the call tomorrow will relieve my fears, but I'm thinking that the news will not be good in many ways, so I'm trying to find something else to do, just in case. Very frustrating, because I really like working with most of the folks there....

sitting here with nothing do to but worry, kicking myself for turning down my old boss 2 weeks ago looking for me to work in MT again. I figured I could not fit DMT 30-40 hours a week and commit to MT as well. The thing that bothers me is the promise of all this work this summer and then it just changed in a matter of days, I am sendng out my resume' like crazy, got a bad feeing too

I quit my MT job after they told us they wanted 35 hours a week - sm

Now I wish I had that MT job. Sitting here testing for hours is awful. I feel like I'm back to where I was before this job.

So did I and wish I hadn't - Sounded good

Even though the DMT position was listed as temporary, I quit my MT job when 35+ hours a week was requested. I didn't think I could do both and had thought more work would be forthcoming. Now I'm afraid the original work may be too long in coming to wait for. Kicking myself while i send out resumes. The one thing I continue to hope for is that those in charge -... Al, Helen - are as nice as i think and will fight hard to get more work for us. Trying not to worry until I have to.

How many DMTs are there? - DMTer

When we had to sign our contracts for the second time, I heard there were 80 of us, but I know they hired again after that for this big wave. Wonder how many of us are out of work now?

What do you all plan to do if the work is sporadic? - Easton

[ In Reply To ..]
Just curious what you all plan to do if the conference call tomorrow doesn't go too well and if work is sporadic, here and there, etc.? I'm not sure what to do. I can see that we won't be getting a paycheck for the 20th of this month, unless something comes in this week.

never a good thing when it comes to a job and money. i should of learned my lesson by now to try to keep 2 part-time jobs that way when one dies, the other can keep you afloat. Not having a check on the 20th is really going to be hard on my family. I am sending my resume' out like crazy, have not heard anything yet. I feel like I already know the news will be bad, i.e., no work. There is a 100 of us probably all at the same time trying to find other work, this is not good :(

I'm not sure what I'll do. I'll make my decision after the call tomorrow. Maybe they'll make the decision for me. Wondering if some of us will get walking papers. I do have a PT job. I've been doing this long enough to know not to have all the eggs in one basket. I've been trying to pick up more lines there, but there's not enough to pay all the bills. I say we meet back here after the conference call tomorrow.

Good Luck Everyone....nm - anon

I have seen a few posts from fellow DMTs on this board (and wish we had the chance to talk while working to ask questions of each other!) and wanted to ask a question of you here on the board.

Are you finding that comments received from QA are more degrading or condescending rather than helpful? Or is it just me? ...

Have any of the other DMTs noticed that when there is a "big push" and we can "work all the hours we want" that as soon as that wave is done, then a "glitch" comes up in the work where we don't have any work for a few days? This is getting to be BS. ...

I tested and invited to interview for this company but can't find any info. They are paying hourly for a short-term project. Does anyone have any recent experience with this company? I'm getting a little leary now days - I also responded to an ad for "Glo Transcription" but saw a post they are a scam (no website or anything). At least Versio has a website but would still like to hear from someone who has worked for them, good or bad. Thank you. ...

Ok, so I heard some great things about ScribeRight so I sent them my resume via their website. I got a reply back today, asking me a couple simple questions about my skills and also sent 4 files to transcribe (3 sound pretty easy, 1 will be hard for me since I have no experience in that field, Onc). My question is....is it worth it to move? The company I currently work for (and have for many years) is 0.045 SRT/.07 straight typing. My pay scale has consistently gone down the last 2 years (surpr ...

I've worked here since the start of the DMT project. I was hired by the person in charge of the project, but have had to deal with the CEO a few times during the past few months. I'm wondering - does anyone else have a hard time with the CEO? She seems to be very.... egotistical. I have had nothing but GREAT experiences with the lady who is the Migration Manager, and the guy who is Senior Project Manager is awesome (in fact, if I remember correctly, he was the person who brought th ...
