are there any companies with actual work? - tired of begging


Posted: Feb 17, 2015

I am tired of begging for work and then the higher ups send out messages about so many jobs on the system/out of TAT but yet I ask daily for work and there isn't any. Looking for some place that can actually keep me busy with work.

Actual work - northern MT

What shift do you work? I ask because I see this complaint on the boards often. Working PMs, I don't run into that a lot. I'm guessing that everybody wants days -- part of the problem. As grandma used to say, "You gotta make hay when the sun shines."

all hours of the day - begging

I start at 7 a.m. and don't stop until 11 p.m. EST. I check all throughout the day, and I work every day of the week too.

I have seen a LOT of posts on here about QC and most of them are completely inaccurate.  Since we have joined with Nuance I think things have gotten very confusing and this is where some of misinformation is coming from.  Quality is now split in two, predelivery and post delivery.  Those of us in predelivery (QC1) are told NOT to "ding" the MLS for for any kind of punctuation unless for some rare reason it would impact patient care.  We are told to use a very light hand and m ...

We guarantee you at least 11 accounts and 2,500 lines a day. Then you are sitting there 6 months later, waiting for jobs? I have experienced this many times. Can it be that its just bad management and they overhire? Does anyone know of a company that really does have TONS of work?
