Well, as usual no work at 5:00 a.m. at beginning of shift. When I started getting reports one or two at a time they were all editing from India. No wonder no work in the early morning lately. Good thing I have a second job. Had to be there 1 hour after I finished at mmodal. Worked 1.50 hours yesterday, all editing from India. Today 7 reports in total. All editing from India. Looking for another job. A cashier job that I am applying for pays $12.00 to start. Hopefully they will hire a 61-year-old. Done with this work--watched the pay and benefits go downhill. Talked to a person in the military, he stated that his raise for this year was 1%, down from 1.5%. Told him in the last 12 years all I had was pay cuts and no raises in all this time, incentive pay gone. When I originally started with a different company bought out by Spheris I would get a incentive bonus of $150 every two weeks if my QA was above 99.5%. Got the incentive every two weeks. When Spheris bought the company, first thing to go was the incentive, was replaced by a 0.003 incentive if you went over your line count.
Five hours into my shift and only 9 reports done with about 300 lines. Grand total of $9.00 for five hours. Whoopee!!!
