Having to work Sunday is bad enough, but having to work and not able to work is worse.

This company's written test says that I can't use any references, but based on the questions they're asking, I'd have to be a doctor to be able to answer them! So am I to assume that I can't use references when I work either? So sick of jumping through hoops for these companies... ...

on Fluency. I have had problems with it all day. ...

Who are we supposed to contact when we need technical help on a Sunday? There used to be a number to call but I don't have it anymore, which is my fault, I know. Fluency won't let me in, saying my new password is not recognized, yet it let me into Teamwork. Man o' man - it's always something, as Gilda Radner used to say. ...

Just as I suspected would happen...no work! I have no PTO to take and I know this entire week will be a struggle if there is no work very early Sunday morning. Not sure what is going on or where all the work is...oh yea...probably INDIA!!!!! ...

My scheduled day/shift to work and NJA. Finding I am unable to make up these hours later in the week. It's not a wonderful life at all. Can't sleep at night wondering where the money for bills, etc., will come from, wondering who is next for termination. I am looking for another job but no luck so far. Will be getting even harder in my area as a MAJOR employer is laying of over 1000 workers. It's getting worse out here. Hanging on by a thread. ...

So tempted to just quit..I hate this so much ...

Is it because they are all dictating on cell phones or what? I am tearing my hair out trying to hear my usually prime dictators because of heaps of static and background noise. Grrrr!! ...

Anyone out there working a 2nd shift on Sundays? Are you running out of work? I know it's slower than slow around the holidays, but the holidays are over and I'm getting really tired of running out of work on Sundays. This is inpatient, so the day of the week shouldn't matter, right? #*&!!@%!&#!!! ...

I have never run into NJA on a Monday morning. I had the hardest time getting the day off yesterday. (I have 3 weeks of accrued PTO which I have to take before December.) My CCM didn't respond for nearly a month. When I started reminding her every day for a response, she responded saying if I get the day off, I have to work a Friday. To make it up? She says she has a hard time staffing Sundays. Well I have a HARDER TIME SACRIFICING THEM FOR THE LAST 9 YEA ...

finally over,, brutal day ...

This really blows.... ...

Hint: If you have no MTs working on Sunday on a major account and a bunch of jobs go out of TAT, do you clasify that as stupid on management's position? ...

For the first time ever, I just got a "No Studies Available" on Enterprise on a Sunday night. Never in all my years with Nuance and before that Webmedx has this happened, even on a holiday there is always work at night. Thank God I have another part time job!! ...

I already work weekends. They say it is for TAT. Work is already thin on weekends. This is not fair to the people who were hired for M-F. Sat or Sun schedules was the reason I turned down Spheris a long time ago. I only work weekends now because I have been going to school to get out of this MT rat hole. ...

I cannot believe this, I look on my schedule today and all the notes I put with Ticket numbers have been taken away and in their place 0 hours!!!! I was one of many who could NOT work Sunday due to DQS being down, down, down, down. Then we are told to wait until Support tells CCM when the time was. Now I am only to assume I am royally sc***wed over again. Did anyone else get the downtime we SHOULD HAVE? So upset, so upset so upset so upset. ...

We are required to work a full-time schedule that includes either Saturday or Sunday, every weekend, forever. The only time we can take a full weekend is if we take a PTO day. But the problem is that we don't get paid holidays anymore (unless we work), so we are almost forced to take many of those as PTO days. Our sick days come out of our PTO days. I guess what I am saying is that the thought of having hardly any full weekends "forever" is very disheartening. The company ...

Was there ever a Remedy ticket number, or whatever, designated for the downtime on Sunday, 7/13? Thank you!! ...

Why do all the companies have you working every weekend either saturday or sunday? I would much rather work both sat and sun every other weekend than be tied up every weekend. Just wondering if anyone knows the reasoning for that. ...

Last time I forgot and lost a really long report. Pacific Time 11 pm, in 10 minutes! ...

I have seen where our local news station in Richmond, VA is going to be covering a news story about patient medical records online on Sunday at 11:00 p.m. The actual story caption advertised is: "Patient Medical Records Online - What Happens Will Make You Sick." Oh yeah, it's about time. I know not everyone will have this on NBC but you can access this story afterwards on the NBC Channel 12 website. It will be interesting to see how this is covered and whether ...

I get really good dictators and the stupid machine screws up what is said and I am changing things all the time! It is very frustrating and I should be getting more pay than I am because of this crap! ...

Been sitting here a lot of the morning with NJA. Then I finally get a 500+ second job and by George if it isn't a female resident who sounds like one of the Lollipop Guild from the Wizard of Oz. I can't win anymore. Let's see -- alcohol or drugs. . . . . . ...

I thought this ASR crap was supposed to get better as it "learns" the doctors and their frequently-used phrases... didn't someone say that back in training? I'm talking about DSG in particular, but I know a lot of people use DQS ASR, so please bear with me. So, how come it now can't seem to get a single sentence without major corrections having to be done? I'm about ready to apply at McDonald's if this keeps up... my pay is about 1/3 of what it was when we did straight ...

I was terminated for reasons I won't go into here--after 9+ years at my last employer. Thing is--I was looking anyway and informed potential employers that the company just was "no longer a good fit." What finally tipped the balance was an e-mail we got a few months ago stating that after an MT had sent a certain percentage of reports to editing for comprehension issues, for instance, they would be penalized 0.03 cpl for doing so! Assuming this is legal, IMO, it's immoral ...

Now MTSO are offering 7 cents a line transcription and 3 cents editing?? When are we experienced MTs going to say enough is enough. 8 cents and 4 cents was bad enough, guess this is what they will try and get away with. ...

Hello all,I've been reading your messages regarding MedQuist and I'm a little confused about something. I see that most people are complaining about how horrible they are to work for, but what I'm wondering is, isn't working for them better than not having a job at all? I have only a little experience and am having a very difficult time finding work. I have been contacted by MedQuist and all of this talk makes me nervous. I am in dire need of a job though, so I'm thinkin ...
