Silent Typers - anticipating no/not enough work tomorrow? - worried sick

Posted: Jun 10, 2012

How wrong is it that I'm feeling sick to my stomach anticipating no/not enough work tomorrow? I guess it's time to throw in the towel because the toll this is going to take on my health and my economic security is too large, and it doesn't look like Silent Type either cares or is doing anything to get us work.

Do you have a set schedule? Are you allowed to try to get some work on your days off? Just a thought and sorry to hear your job is starting to affect your health. Good luck!

worried - wondering

Guess you were right to worry. Again, there is NO WORK this morning to start off our week. That means the rest of the week will be low to NO work. Wish they would just lay us off and let us draw UE so at least we could pay or bills.

Also worried - not good

I am also an ST employee. I have had no work this morning also. I am sad, mad, anxious, worried and plain sick also. What happened to the news we were supposed to get in June that was supposed to be something to help us. I have not seen a thing. Dont know what to do at this point, but I am with you on feeling sick!

If you are not getting your 40 hours of work, you ARE eligible for partial employment...check it out...I did before I finally had enough, could not live on partial unemployment, had to leave, was tired of hearing things will get better and it looks like it never will...At least it's something! Good luck!

eligible for partial UE? - help

We do not get paid by the hour for ST. We get paid by production per page. This company puts 75 hours on our pay stubs for the amount of time we worked. This is whether we have 75 or not, (not sure how that works since we dont get paid by the hour).. and we certainly have not gotten close to 75 hours in weeks! what a mess. Not sure what to do with UE, or even how to get started with it... Thanks

that is to your benefit - STMT

If you take 75 hours and divide a whopping $325 - you are being GROSSLY mispaid.

You can not only qualify for UE, but you should really contact the DOL - or the attorney for the MTs who are fighting to have accurate paystubs.

I haven't been able to get 80 hours in months now, yet my paystubs continually show I'm working 75 hours. I've had enough.

Sounds Like They Are Offshoring - I Do Not Work There, but...

...it sounds like they are following suit with the other MTSOs.

What if the extremely lower than ever volumes (OOW on 3 accounts at a time) is because some of the acute worktypes are being converted to ambulatory care WT since more and more patients are kept in observation status or "extended recovery" instead of being admitted. W(c)ould not some of those same-day surgery types perhaps be called ambulatory? We would likely be kept in the dark about that just like everything else, don't you reckon? Anyone able to confirm this with anyone? ...

I'm interviewing tomorrow morning with Amphion. Even after all of these years in the MT business, I admit that while I'm excited, I'm also a bit nervous. Has anyone else interviewed with Amphion recently and can clue me in on what to expect? I was told the interview process would take about 30 minutes but no other details. Thanks for any input anyone can offer :-) ...

I turned in my resignation 2 weeks ago and my last day is tomorrow. No more nagging about line counts and MUP when they can't even pay me minimum wage (although mine is the second highest in the nation). I've done this work for almost 9 years now and have enjoyed it, but the pay is just getting too low and I'm sure I can find something better in another field. Good luck to you all. ...

my new life of not dealing with trying to produce a medical report for a MTSO to look good and make profit. How things have changed in the medical world and it is getting ulgier by the day. The demands put on MTs are totally unreasonable. I am walking away because of retirement and I am thankful I can. I honestly do not know if I could survive under the stress of trying to produce perfection for such minimal pay and know that a MTSO is making as much as me for each line I ...

I got an email from HR today that my husband was 'accidentally' added back on my insurance. Note that he has not been on my insurance for almost a year. How this happened I have no idea. That means my paycheck tomorrow will have about $400 deducted from it just for that error. The email basically said "Ooops, sorry about our mistake you will be reimbursed with *next* paycheck." That means a 2-week wait for their mistake. I am not desperate for the money (thank ...

I know there aren't very many of you that probably like your boss enough to send them a gift, but if you DO happen to have a nice boss it wouldn't hurt to tell them so they don't become mean and cynical like the rest of them! Employers like to hear it when they do a good job just as much as the employees do! ...

I have an interview for a full time medical office assistant position tomorrow morning. Things are still going pretty well for me with MT right now, but part of me feels like I need to get out now.. BEFORE the bottom falls out...

There are NO HOURS on the swap board and we have been running into NJA every day since MQ did the management shuffle. I have my resumes out and took some tests this weekend. Hopefully I will hear something soon so I can get off this merry-go-round that just isn't merry any longer. I don't want to worry every wee ...

Why no news? I hired someone to come in tomorrow (a mother's helper) to help with the kids as I assume we are starting tomorrow (originally told on 10/5 but then someone on this board said 10/11).

My mentoring phone call is tomorrow. Does everyone get a mentor as well? What do they talk about? I have a list of questions for her but they're mainly about complaints. I'm even going to ask if I can't do my job good enough, then they should do it themselves or even send it back to India. I want to know if this mentoring program is the first step in my being fired. I'm very concerned about my job and maybe I shouldn't ask these questions, but the way they treat us ...
