Nuance will hire you M-F second shift.

Thanks for at least 1 decent answer - Kat

Thats one of the reasons I do not use this board too often. The majority of people who lurk on here to answer are scarcastic pessimists. I have been in the business for 20 years and I know there are some out there and just thought I'd see if I could get someone to remind me of them. I do appreciate your answer. Thanks for being one of the decent people on this board. For the rest of them, they can wallow in their pitty. Thanks again. ~ :)

Well, you can't really completely blame the "sarcastic MT" - MT2long

[ In Reply To ..]
The industry has taken a nosedive and you have MTs on here with 30 years of experience who have had cut in pay, cut in lines AND are being REQUIRED to sit and "babysit" a computer Sunday through Thursday or Tuesday through Saturday with no exceptions. There are constant threads with MTs talking about they don't know why they can't at least rotate weekends, get one full weekend off a month or something, rather than their work scheduling inhibiting every single weekend, making family time or event planning near impossible.

Then, you put a message on the board with people having no idea about your history, your experience or anything and you just ask for someone to email you the company name of a Monday through Friday gig. There are people who dig and research and spend hours testing at various companies who are looking for that exact same thing and never find it. So, I am sure the "sarcasm" comes a little from the angle of "If I have to work weekends, why would you feel like you do not, and why would I help YOU find a job where you can have weekends off."

I think the industry has made us ALL grouchy to an extent for sure.

Well then why have a board to ask questions if everyone is grouchy - KAT

That is a poor excuse. Just because we are all in bad situations, that gives everyone the right to treat their fellow MTs with sarcasm and meanness? Maybe that gives you a reason to do it, but I chose to hold my head high and not stoop to the industry's standards. Just because the companies are treating us bad, we should start slitting each other's throats and chewing each other's faces off.....great attitude exactly. That will help each and every one of your fellow MTs in their time of need. Oh yeah, you arent trying to help anyone cuz you've been treated badly. I guess I didnt realize, I thought that was what this board is about.....helping other MTs who have questions.

You're hardly endearing yourself with your attitude. I suggested you sm - on the weekends

[ In Reply To ..]
try to find clinic work as they generally do not work on weekends, the other poster suggested Nuance, so you got TWO nonsarcastic answers. I don't know how long you have been an MT, but I have been doing this for over 35 years and weekends just generally come with the territory if you do acute care. People still get sick on weekends and holidays, and most people are expected to do their share to help out. Is it okay to want a job only working M-F? Of course. But in this profession it is difficult to find and expect to be job hunting for awhile, not to mention clinic work usually pays less. I personally prefer weekends as it is less stressful, people not wanting something every 5 minutes, but that is just my experience.

Good luck to you.

Feel free to ask questions - (sm)

but then don't request it be e-mailed in private so you can hoard the information for yourself.

It sounds to me like you are overreacting. It seems that there are folks who--when they do not get the answer they want, accuse everyone of being "mean" or "sarcastic." Truly, it sounds like junior high school all over again. There really is wisdom in what many people are telling you. Please remember, the seasoned MTs who are answering your questions are only the messengers. Please don't kill them with your attitude. Good luck to you. I truly do hope you can find what you are looking for.

If people can't answer the OP with kindness, or helpful information, just *don't* reply. There is not really an excuse for posting merely to be snarky and/or mean.

I have found that in MT, as in the rest of life, a sense of humor and irony is helpful. Some people on this board just seem to have no sense of irony. :)

It's not 'pitty,' it's the sad reality of the times. - Sorry to burst the bubble. sm

[ In Reply To ..]
Good luck to you nonetheless. Please come back and let us know if you find a M-F job so the rest of us can apply too. Many of us would like the same thing but feel those days are long gone. Clinics are usually first to go to VR since they're easy so even if you find one, it's likely you won't have it long and won't replace it quickly. The smart MTs will not give up a clinic or M-F account until it's pried from their cold dead hands.

Sorry for the smart butts on this board Kat!!! - MTMcDonald12

It's unfortunate that some people are so darn nasty on here! If you notice, the MTs with the smart comments are the ones who get some kind of satisfaction by telling us all how many years they have and usually they say "20 years, 30 years, 35 years" etc...heck, I'm wondering why they don't type 100 years experience. haaaa
There are companies out there who do Monday-Friday and good luck to you. I wish I knew of one personally. To all you "experienced" MTs, go jump in the lake. No one is impressed with your so-called experience that can't be verified because this is a VIRTUAL website! Good gravy folks! P.S. "I have 125 years MT experience, I am 100% correct on all reports and I'm the best in the world" HAHAAAAAAAAAA

How about a buck a line, a villa in Italy, a serious relationship with George Clooney and a Ferrari in that nice "hello, officer" red? As long as we are dreaming, let's do it on a large scale!

If you are in a villa in Italy, in a serious relationship with George... YOU DONT NEED A BUCK A LINE! Get in your Ferrari and go live a litte! You have to keep George happy or I WILL!!! he he

Alas, no George, no Ferrari, no villa. But it's fun to dream! :)

I just want to have work 40 hrs/week and a decent wage. - ditto

I don't care if I have to work 7 weekend days a week, I just want to earn a living. This is what MTing has come down to. Good luck with a cushy 8-5/M-F job.

Hi Kat: I emailed you with a company that hires for weekdays only, no evenings, no weekends, no holidays. Good luck! Oncology only.

Kat - local clinics - LinK

[ In Reply To ..]
Are there any local doctor's offices that might be hiring transcriptionists? There aren't too many around any more, but I work for a local cardiology office. I work M-F, no holidays and no weekends. They are out there, you just have to look hard.

Thanks for the help, I found what I was looking for - KAT

[ In Reply To ..]
Thanks to those of you who tried to be of help. I was able to find one of the specific places that I just couldnt remember. To the rest of you who replied your scarastic remarks, well...it gave you a chance to do what you enjoy doing.

Are you going to share where you found - a M-F position, Kat. -- sm

[ In Reply To ..]
Maybe you could let us know where you found one and what company is hiring for this. I have been looking for one and have not been able to find one, not one that is straight transcription. I have done speech editing and do not care for it, could not make money. I can do acute care work but want clinic due to the mostly M-F schedule, maybe working weekends at times if work is busy. I would appreciate any leads if you do not mind sharing.

I am SO tired of 7 days a week at the computer, scrapping for work. Actual rate of pay figures out to about $10.50 per hour. I used to be able to do 200 lph no sweat. All these crazy platforms and HUGE increase in nasty E4L (Enlish as as 4TH language ) dictators. I want a 5-day a week, 8-hour a day job. I want my LIFE back.
