now means "No Jobs Allocated" rather than "No Jobs Available." They got 'em; we just can't have 'em. Spending my time on monster.com job hunting.
yeah good luck with that - downtime

I've been trying for months to get out of MT and have had no luck. I guess I need more training in something.
I am 6 years from retirement - and live in the boonies (op)

I need all the luck I can get. Plus, living near in a small town where you had to be born here & went to school here before you can get the few jobs there are. I just moved here 15 years ago so am not "one of them" yet. Sigh
Are there retirees in town? You can offer to do errands, - drive them around, etc. For pay, of course.

But of course, I will still have to keep working part-time, because Social Security will be paying me (almost to the dime) exactly what I am making working for "The Mode."
Same here. Job hunt every day. - me

But I have been at home for 14 years. I'll be lucky to get a job at Wal-Mart at this rate. I wish I'd get fired so I could collect UE for awhile and take a much needed break from this crap.
I am tired and frustrated from applying and sending out resumes only to be ignored. It is like a game with them, I think. MedGarde even has an interview which has absolutely nothing to do with your skills or qualifications. In fact it seems like psychological testing to see if you are mentally competent or something like that. I swear I feel like a mouse that is being tested and run through a maze to see how well you perform, but even mice will get the prize or food event ...
I am considering requesting this pay which (depending on the state) considers us to be on-call and must be paid for part of our shift if no work.
I have had it up to here with Nuance and running out of work, adding more and more accounts and STILL no work. Got a second job and STILL being screwed by Nuance in the sense that I cannot rely on my first job (income wise), because when there is enough work they manage to screw my cpl with their lovely FIESA, then as soon as I have no errors the work ...
A note below states company is hounding her about equipment that she returned. Before this happens to you, TRACK your equipment online and when it's picked up by your company, print it out. I'm keeping mine for at least a year, maybe forever. It shows the date, time, exact location, person's name who received it, etc. There would be no denying that at all.
Please protect yourself! It happens more than you'd like to think. ...
I need some advice. I am an IC who works for a transcription company and is constantly being paid late. I am currently 4 months behind on pay. My daily emails for pay are not being answered and there is no communication whatsoever at this point. I love the hospital I work for and have stayed with this company a long time because of this. It is very normal for me to be at least a month to 2 months behind on pay at all times, sometimes 3-4 months. As an IC, do I have any recourse? Is there anythin ...
Really???? 3 days late on pay? How are we supposed to take care of our financial responsiblities now? It has been my experience in the past that when this happens, the company is usually a goner. So, Keystrokes, are you a goner? Do we need to look for other jobs, or will you not tell us and will we be out of work and out of pay and on Welfare? ...
So, I have worked for this person since 2007. In the beginning everything was WONDERFUL. Great to work for, plenty of work, fairly decent wage, etc. Now for the last couple of years pay has been increasingly late. I was originally set for pay days on the 1st and the 15th. A couple of years ago it changed to the 5th and the 20th, which is fine, I can handle that. that started being late so I said I would change it in my mind to the 10th and the 25th so I wouldn ...
apparently I was only employed by Nuance thru last December. Starting in January I was employed by Transcend. This is as per the state unemployment benefits office. They were really interested that my check stubs said Transcend/DBA as Nuance out of Mass., and the W2s only had Transcend out of Melbourne, Florida. Asked me questions about it, but told them I had never noticed when Transcend was added to the check stubs, which I didn't. Don't know anything ab ...
Here is what you can and SHOULD do if you don't get your W2 by Feb. 16. -
You’ll have to wait a bit: the IRS does not want to hear from you about missing forms until after February 16. After that date, call IRS at 1.800.829.1040. You’ll need to have your address, phone number and Social Security Number available. It’s also helpful to have your dates of employment, an estimate of your earnings and your federal withholding amounts – you can find most of thi ...
I just need to vent. I am an IC who is supposed to get paid every week by my employer. Her checks were on time at first, then 1 day later, 2 days later, 3 days later, etc. I went on vacation for 1 week. During that time frame, she even emailed me to see if I was providing my usual weekend coverage. She never replies to my IM, e-mail or phone calls. Her cell does not allow me to leave a message, and now she has a new home phone number that I do not even kn ...
I wonder if any other late night MTs find things are sometimes really amusing...I know that it helps me to stay awake sometimes.
I just had a medication list, but it seems that this patient got stuck at the beginning of the alphabet.
The patient's seven medications were: Adderall, albuterol, Advair, Ambien, amantadine, Amaryl and Adalat.
Makes me wonder if they going to start on the "B" medications next. lol
What do some of the other late night MTs here do to help themselves ...
I was supposed to have an appointment with IT for an install at 5:30. It is now about 10 of 6 and still no call. Anyone else have a similar experience? ...
I received the email last Thursday that all direct deposits would be in accounts first thing Monday and hard checks for new employees would be in Monday's mail.
Well, Monday was a holiday so I figured that was an oversight; however, our mailman did not have my check today, either.
It's my first paycheck with Oracle and I do not want to look like I'm whining, but was kind of looking forward to getting that check today. It wasn't a lot as it was less than 2 wks bu ...
I'm thinking of switching to 11 pm-7am CST shift from day shift. What is the work like at that time of night, is there work or are you consistently running out of work as well. I don't want to change my whole lifestyle just to be in the same boat I'm in now. ...
I have been a participant of this board for many years. When an enire thread disappears, I realize other boards are more MT friendly. I will not be back. ...
Nothing for Christmas, and it looks like our present is being told at the last minute that our checks will be a day late this week. So much for all of the overtime, working holidays without holiday pay, no sick days, no paid days off...It seems like they could do more for their transcriptionists who keep their company going. ...
He is stating "...otherwise beta blockers will be "coursely" reinstituted. I understand what he means, but trying to figure out how to put it correctly. Would it be "course-like" as in a course-like manner, how the medication is to be taken?
Thanks for your input. As always, it is truly appreciated. ...
that, on companies sites, they do not always put the LOCATION of the company and you have to search for it? I think that is odd. You would think that would be the first thing that they do. I find it strange. ...
...all the jobs listed on the Job Seeker's Board? and then noticed
...all the MT resumes listed on the Job Wanted Board ???
What's up with this? Why don't the MTSOs advertising for help just go directly to the Job Wanted Board since there are probably hundreds/thousands of us looking for work!
Why go to the trouble of advertising when those of us on the Job Wanted Board already have our skills and experience outlined for them and we state ...
I was just looking back through all my pay stubs from 2010 and MQ took out less than $5.00 in federal taxes.
The same dollar amount is listed in the "year-to-date" column on EVERY SINGLE STUB. There is never an amount in the current week column and the number never changes in the year to date column.
WHAT?!?!?
Is this an error or did they really not take out my taxes like they were supposed to? They took out everything else: State, social security, etc. Am I going to get a h ...

has anyone else noticed that since the announcement of Imdex "merger" with TT that on the job seeker's board, there are now new notices of companies hiring such as Babbletype and Keystrokes that have not had hiring notices on that board? Just think that's a little unusual. ...
That QA/Fiesa only seems to find little errors? I often wonder if the only errors that I make are a left/right discrepancy, date/age discrepancy, a, the, etc. I have no idea who does my QA, but I'm wondering why they never find a big mistake, like a sound-alike drug or sound-alike instrument or disease. I'm wondering if others have big mistakes found or are those who do our QA only able to find those kinds of errors - the kind we would find too if we went back and rel ...
That VR seems to be getting worse in that it is constantly putting in a wrong number which is different from what is CLEARLY dictated. This seems to happen more and more with dates and especially years. Seems like they are trying to trip us up! ...
