Posted: Jun 08, 2012
I love my job. I love the company I work for. BUT why do I constantly run out of work??? Frustrating to say the least!

[ In Reply To ..]They dont care about our paycheck, just 100% TAT. That is all.
If employee, if quota not met, no benefits accrued. - Totally unfair.
[ In Reply To ..]They over hire and even if working 8 hours, no benefits are accrued.
Some possible reasons - mb
[ In Reply To ..]If doing VR, the expectation is that we will be able to do 2 or 3 times as much work, but a lot of companies still hire a certain number as if the work were still straight typing, hence never enough work. Maybe they don't want to provide benefits and this is an underhanded way to get the work done and not pay benefits. Also depends on the company and if they are sending to India or Puerto Rico in order to not have to pay so much. Who knows, but a person would probably be better off to have 2 part-time jobs and buy own insurance. Finally, I have worked nights for 18 years and have rarely if ever run out of work. That is when there is usually an abundance, so you might try later shifts.

[ In Reply To ..]The same thing has been happening to me. What initial does your company start with?

[ In Reply To ..]I've had this problem for 18 months with Medscribe. Tonight I only had 2.5 hours before being out of work. Have never been able to meet quota; hence, no benefits. I have a job offer from Nuance who assures me they have enough work. If there are any Nuance people out there, is this so. I already spent $250 updating computer to their specifications, so I'm hoping it's true.

TTS Is Constantly Looking For MTs

MT Rules Changes Constantly

Does anybody else get emails of updated account specs or just in general about how this is now changing in the MT world and things such as hyphens are being phased out, among other changes to make the document "more readable". I wonder...all these changes to how we are supposed to do our jobs, yet the only changes to what we are paid to do our job is a negative with pays dropping instead of going up. I say it here and I can say it so many times, if somebody can sit in an office and c ...

To The MTSOs Constantly Hiring
Sep 24, 2012
So you want MTs to transcribe and edit VR who are skilled and experienced? You want someone to be a mind-reader with your ESL dictators with no help from QA? You want a reliable person who is going to work nights, weekends, and holidays for this pay? Here's your problem keeping a good MT. You pay 4 cpl for VR and 7 cpl to transcribe. At the same time, you expect nothing from your clients. They are allowed to tie up an MTs time with garbage to t ...

Constantly getting emails to work extra, but no more.

I have struggled to make the line count and have been productive managed for that and told to go faster.

Thinking Of Going Back To Keystrokes But They Constantly Ran Out Of Work! Sm
Feb 15, 2015
I took a job with another company thinking the grass was greener because the accounts were major and the work was there but the platform sucks and QA is picky as hell. I am a good MT and been doing this years, years in QA with taking MT jobs now because the QA jobs are not there. This is my sole income and I can't survive. I like the platform and steady checks at Keystrokes but the work just wasn't coming in, they wouldn't give me a secondary, and they continually hire ...
