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.

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.

I am just so frustrated. This VR is killing me. It takes more time to make corrections. It is frustrati ...
