SoftScript asked for extra help on an account last night ... it was fun to tell them sm

long with OT approved and this being a regular workday for me, I have nothing!!! On top of it, we are expected to meet our minimum line counts and work our minimum hours, but how is one to do that when there is no work. I refuse to sit here 24/7 to get my PT hours in, if that is even possible right now. It's bad enough not making any money but then to be told that we have to meet our line counts and hours or else.....Actually, I think I would really appreciate the "or else ...

Some gall, huh?!? I'm thinking what? I have to work holidays when they fall on my regular scheduled days. Nope - nothing wrong with this picture. Nothing at all. ...

My company has a lot of work right now (which is a good thing, I know). Previously when this would happen, we would be offered overtime and paid time and a half. For the last couple of weeks, we are practically being begged to work "extra" hours but only at straight time. I hate to sound negative, but I have a hard time giving up my free time to work for 4 cents a line editing horrible VR reports. Is it even legal to ask MTs to work overtime for straight pay? Please ...

on the dictating system any better now as people used to say the sound quality was very poor. ...

After dealing with a potentially terminal medical illness, I was working away on my shift last night when the following email came thru (note that I edited any identifying information out of the email for confidentiality's sake)... Your line counts have been rapidly getting back to your regular spectacular volume. You have 12577 through Saturday evening, which is wonderful. Your ability to accurately produce well over 2000 a day puts you right up there with the top produce ...

Any idea why they take you off an account without telling you? ...

After reading all the posts below, I wish I would have asked more questions before I accepted a job at SS. I made the mistake of accepting a position because I had been unemployed for several months and was desperate. Now, after a few months of the constant harrassing emails, threats to be removed from an account if another acct spec error is committed, and also the threat of going back to 100% QA, I've just about had it. No amount of money is worth the costant barrage aimed at demeaning ...

Sippacleanse? Sivacleanse? Supercleanse? I have searched and searched...thanks in advance!!! Not usually on OB/GYN... ...

What a flippin joke. Didnt Amy say she was going to keep us in 1 account???? OMG, I have done evey account in my BOB this morning as well as some other Bob. I cant keep my head on straight anymore. It is spinning like a top. My production is down to minimum and I am at risk of being fired for not meeting production because some idiot decides to open the cesspool! GO CCMs! GET YOUR 100% TAT... SCREW THE REST OF US. ...

Well, let me think about this....I just checked Fiesa and I have two 100% reports in there. I'm normally off Thurs/Fri. So if I just don't work anymore chances are good I will stay right at that 100%. If I do (and I KNOW I'll get the worst dictators AND my backup account I rarely work on, happens every time in this situation)....but chances are HIGH that I will get that worked audited and then drop below 100%, prob evening falling off the "grid" and/or having to ...

I don't know about you all but my CCM is constantly asking us to work "extra," even when there are no late jobs and not an over abundance of dictation. What is the deal? The other night we were requested to work at least 1 extra hour. Tonight they are asking again. I don't know about you all but I have a family and other things I like to do other than work. Don't they realize we have lives away from MQ??? Besides, that extra hour is really not g ...

The doctor dictates: The patient's back pain responds fairly well to Tylenol; in fact better than ibuprofen. He typically takes 1 Extra Strength three times a day. Do I capitalize Extra Strength because it is assumed part of Tylenol? Or do I leave it lower case because it is not typed with the brand name Tylenol? ...

I assume that the MT companies set up a contract with the client for them to pay on a per-line basis. Of course, they charge more than they pay us; that's how they make their money & that's fine. But what I'm wondering is... when we get a report that comes in as VR instead of straight typing, where does the extra money go, since we get paid less for VR. I feel like I work just as hard, if not harder on VR than typing a report. So why don't we make ...

Is extraaxial (brain tumor) one word or is it hyphenated? ...

is extra-strength Tyelnol hyphenated? ...

was just told that md-it was going to need an extra few days to pay me. This is not the end of the world for me, but it does make me worry a bit about their financial health. Could someone out there tell me if they have had this problem too? ...

I sit with NJA....on my SCHEDULED day to work. Once again, thanks a lot MQ for your oh so talented way of giving OT and incentives when they aren't necessary and taking away work from people who are actually scheduled to work. I appreciate it. ...

to work OT, do you still get time-and-a-half line rate, or is it straight line rate plus the $10/hr? ...

Just wondering to those of you who received the last quarterly bonus, how long did it take for them to pay you the bonus. I didn't receive it last time but should receive it this time. I know the quarter ends the end of June and last time they sent e-mails stating it would take a little while. Thanks for any info! ...

Every time that I log onto the system, I am reminded how disrespected, how underpaid, how unappreciated that I truly am. So - MTSO - you can publish your "SOS, EXTRA HELP NEEDED!" messages all you want. If it ever comes down to your being willing to PAY for me to give precedence to YOUR needs, perhaps I'll consider it. MEANWHILE, GO SUCK AN EGG, YOU BLOODSUCKERS!! ...

January 26 is Republic Day in India. It is one of their most important events/holidays in India. It is kind of like our 4th of July. It is the anniversary when they became a republic. They will be dancing in the streets, eating tons of Chaat and drinking lassi until the cows come home (literally), I guess. (I have an Indian friend who tells me these things.) Maybe we will have some extra work. Some of them will be working, but not all I would imagine. Whoo. ...

For all that do not want to do the extra research to fill in the blanks cuz it takes too much time, too much effort, losing money trying to get it all done to help your qa submission rate I'd like to welcome you to what we as QA/MME have been doing for 3 cpl ....all of that research and more. Now maybe some MTs (not all) will stop throwing QA under the bus and realize what we've had to do all this time for 3 cpl. Thank you and have a nice day. ...

All week NJA. Everyone has hours to make up I am sure. At 9:30 CCM puts out E-Mail for OT and extra hours for weekend. At the time of her mail "work is low" so why are we looking for OT and extra time committments???? ...

can you work as much as you want at Transcend or does over time have to be offered? I saw a post below where it said people may be working to bolster their line count as it is near the end of pay period. TIA ...

backlog, yet OT is not approved & we have to strictly adhere to our schedules... Doesn't make any sense... Beg us to work extra, yet tell us we are not allowed to do that, LOL. ...

Its not just the suits who don't care about the MTs. ...

When I get partial dictation reports on EditScript where you don't have to do anything in regards to header/demographics, my speed in terms of lines per hour is almost twice as fast. When there are so many new worktypes with new MT Instructions, the speed goes way down. When the header shows no medical record number and I have to enter in demographics what speaker dictates, the speed goes way down. The point is that I think every one of the reports should be like partial dictations in wh ...

thanks in advance!! ...

Dr. just dictated OBGYN history and then says transfusion s/l extra negative then goes on to dictate medications heading. What could that be and is it part of the OBGYN or is transfusion a new heading? Thanks! ...

SoftScript asked for extra help on an account last night ... it was fun to tell them sm - SSMT

Does that company use SR at all? - Just wondering.

I have no idea. I do not think I have seen it mentioned in their many ads, sm - SSMT

What does it matter? Apparently they have no work. - NM
