For those on PM I think I figured out the strategy... - DFRSB

Well ever since the contest I have gotten completely new dictators and some new accounts. All of which I can't keep up. I have a feeling that the easier work was assigned to those in the contest. That is the only thing I can think of. Either that or they are trying to get rid to of me. At this point, hope to be fired. I don't know how much more of this I can take.

In the contest and still getting cruddy work... - workerbee

From the posts below, some accounts were moved around lately, so that probably is why you have new accounts and dictators. I've had more blanks than ever since the contest started and am currently not on PM, though have been up until recently.

Did you always have cruddy work? - DFRSB

Mine seemed to change since we had issues on Sunday. I guess just feeling frustrated...:(

I've been with MM for quite a long time... - workerbee

You will find that your work load will wax and wane. You will invariably get switched to different accounts and supervisors. Sometimes you will have great accounts and dictators. Other times, not so much. I do pretty well when I have my primary accounts, but they don't always have a lot of work, so work on other overflow accounts that are busier most of the time. Some days/weeks it seems that you just get all the cruddy jobs. Hang in there...sounds like things are just a bit in flux with account rearrangement. You'll eventually get into a good rhythm...

Thank you! - DFRSB

I just worry about my line count and accuracy with all of this! Will probably be ok....Thanks again!

I've pursued this line of work more out of obligation rather than choice. I know where the wind is blowing, so I'm going back to school for my Associate of Applied Science. But I'll have to juggle work and school for 2 years. I currently work an "Indian QA" company. I had a rocky start, such that I had considered quitting and I take my chances with another company. I wisely stuck with them (after advice from this very board), and it's a good thing I did, because the seemin ...

Thank you for the point blank statement concerning your labor force. Ever heard the old saying, You can't beat a dead horse? Your stable of producers and seasoned workers has mostly gone on to greener pastures (or quit the profession entirely). Most of what you have coming in are green and untrained, so what is your plan for them (to get even greater leverage out of the workforce that is left)? All the whip-cracking, threats, and demeaning Emails, is that going to give the Unlearned ...

The recent reduction in shift differentials is the first phase of reducing the workforce during those hours. You can expect there to be an eventual phase-out of the shift differentials altogether. Why? The ultimate goal is to utilize offshore vendors for that work. This pressurized reduction in income opportunitywill cause some natural attrition: Some will not be able to afford the pay loss, some will be upset and simply quit. It will take a little time but ...

We are waiting to hear about "enhanced compensation" or really "reduction" until everyone is moved over to 7.1. They did not expect there to be so many delays, and I think real soon, everyone will be shifted over, and then they can show us with all of our production reports how great their program is, and then cut the pay to be "industry standard." I knew I would figure out a reason it was taking so long. ...

That's right. Never before have I had MUP but I'd better now and it will come out to the exact same thing I would've gotten under the old plan. Unless they forget the MUP and I'd just like to see them try it! ...

Think I have finally figured it out. We got a call from Chase saying that someone had used our credit card and had tried to charge two items worth a couple of hundred dollars but they turned it down. I am certain they have software that figures out your buying patterns, where you go, and what you normally buy with their card as a way to cut down their losses. If that is the case and I am sure that it is, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that this company must have sof ...

I took 8 hours PTO yesterday and haven't a clue how much I made for the day. Can anyone tell me the "formula" for figuring this?? Thanks ...

Once upon a time, I used to work for a company, who, when working overtime, would have you log the lines you did during your OT period and pay 1-1/2 times whatever your line count was, which was awesome. It seems this day and age, companies have a base rate in which they pay for PTO purposes and all the lines done (OT and regular) are put in the same count, and then how ever many OT hours worked are paid at the base rate and then half, which is actually considerably less than what w ...

I have worked for Medquist 7 years, started out 10 cents a line and I am Tier III ESL accounts. Used to work for transcend before that. We went to ASR and we were told to highlight and correct so we could "train" it. We have been doing that for the C-Bay over in India through Spheris and Medquist who are owned by them in case you are new to this website. Our loyalty and quality assurance has caused us to lose our jobs. I resigned but I know a lot other well paid MT/ ...

I still swear that is what is bogging down my computer. Every time my computer "freezes" for a few seconds, I see that Autosave message in the left lower corner of the screen. Then it will catch back up and type better for a little bit. I Googled how to turn it off or reset the Autosave to less frequently, but didn't really get a good answer. ...

It is too difficult to just sit a straight 6-8 hours and read crapy reports all day. I make less money and get slower. When I work less hours, I MAKE MORE MONEY! I sit for 2 hours and I make more. ...

Several things have happened in the last 6 to 8 weeks or so where my accounts are concerned. First, my primary account was changed to basically a secondary and the worst of the worst accounts (which happened to be like #4 in my list/queue) was moved to the #1 slot. It didn't take me 2 weeks to realize that I was going to have a nervous breakdown if I had to continually do this particular account ALL of the time (and I do mean ALL of the time) because pretty much no one else is w ...

Okay - I've only been here a couple of weeks, and the pay plan is all finally starting to make sense..... now I understand. So.... really, the way to make the most money is to not send more than 10% to QC. It does't matter how good my quality is or my speed is, if I send more than 10% to QC, I only make 7 cents a line...... so I'm better off with slighly less quality as long as I don't send more to QC. It doesn't make much sense, but I am g ...

I have asked for clarification of this but have never received a response from any TSM. How is it figured? Time typing? Time spent pushing the foot pedal? My system hours are usually quite a bit lower than actual hours. Although no one has ever said anything to me about it, I fear that might not always be the case. ...
