When my boy was small, I got fired from so many jobs when he was sick. Not an excuse. Part of your choice to have kids is to deal with what comes with that territory.
Excused Absences - prissy

You are allowed THREE, that's all, and I was threatened if over that, termination.
Our TSM has sent a couple mass e-mails saying anyone who wanted to use this option of Excused Absence - No Work would be allowed to do so on certain days when it was offered. If we do this, are those hours subtracted from our 104 hours of Excused Absence - No Pay that we are allowed yearly? I recall using Excused Absence - No Work last year, and it was not subtracted from our 104 hours. Has this changed? ...
if you run out of work - the policy is dated 08/28/2013 - so why in the Email from the POD director is that not listed!!!. I AM NOT USING PTO OR WORKING 24/7 to get in 39-40 hours of work for something that is not my fault and beyond my control!!! ...
I sent a dictation to QC for blanks because the dictator was saying wrong words, and mis-speaking. I just got about 7 major errors for things which the dictator changed mind, slurred, and that is why I put it in the pending with questions to begin with. So, is this the correct policy. Put in the blanks, question certain words and then still get in trouble for this as major errors? I did not put through to client, questioned each, put difficult dictator in box, please help and then I ...
in case of NJA, which I did, but now I am not having NJA. Will have to find out what to do. All the new ideas seem to be bad ones, but then, what would one expect with MM. ...
As I watched my family leave and our dog to head to our relatives cabin in the next neighboring state last night, I cleaned the house and did some laundry and worked my last hour typing. This morning I am ready to work my 8 hours and what happens??? NO WORK. You think I would be used to this by now after all these years, but now I am really ANGRY! I have done this when it is Easter, Thanksgiving, Fourth of July, etc.
That is it. No more will I ...
Everytime I try to respond to someone and put a ('s) like if I put "plumber's wife" or something like that in the Nickname section on post a message, and go to send it I get an error and it will not send. Now if I remove the ('s) then it sends. Happen to anyone else? ...
Ladies and Gentleman MTs --
Twenty years ago I earned 7 cpl at my job as an IC MT, was treated fairly by my employer, paid weekend and holiday bonuses, as well as quan/qual bonuses. Although hours were long, worked most holidays and weekends, I earned around $45,000/yr, about $35.00 an hour and was free to choose the hours that I worked.
Could we all just take some control over our professions, please? Yes, being an MT is a profession. How much specialized education, t ...
I guess you can no longer buy full licensed copies of MS Word on a disk ??? I see you can get MS Word 2013 in downloadable form, starting with a "trial" and then I guess you end up paying per year or month? So, is this acceptable or do we HAVE to have it on disk? ...
Ok, got E-mail about changing when we have to send reports to IQA and when we can just ship on. Increasing number of blanks, etc. Anyone understand how this is going to impact our 10% or less criteria? I may be crazy, but sounds like we might be getting a break here. Guess we have been shipping too much to IQA. When in doubt we don't want to lose money with a wrong guess. ...
I have been with my company for many years and have liked the account I am on until the past 3 months. Three months ago, they hired on 3 new MTs and now suddenly all the easy doctors disappear from the queue first, even if there are other reports out of TAT. Warnings have been given by account manager, but only 2 days later, the cherrypickers are back at it. I am now getting stuck with a majority of the harder docs that no one wants to do and have watched my pay ...
Since I made my lines hours ago lol, and I'm messing around trying to let someone else make their lines, I've been roaming around, reading back posts. And I swear to you all I'm not trying to cause trouble, start drama or pick fights, I just have a very serious question.
For the MTs who are "struggling" or not making it, etc and to all the MTs who are sure it's a "dying field" or it's "already dead". What keeps you in the MT field? I know jobs are real ...
Their ad even boasts about offshore work.
"This position will include editing VR files, MT files, and offshore files - all through the same software. "
See link.
Surprised the moderators have not dumped the ad or is that all a thing of the past here at MTStars?

"Excused Absence- No Pay."??
Email says since we had late work on Friday and Saturday, according to the VP we cannot use "excused no work" but must use PTO or "excused no pay" ...
I work for one of the big MTSOs, take annual HIPAA training, and know I am subject to fines or discharge for disclosing someone else̢۪s medical info, either intentionally or accidentally such as via an incorrect C/C. I am therefore baffled as to why hospitals are still allowed to put patients in semiprivate rooms where HIPAA rules just seem to go out the window.
For example, just yesterday I returned from a 23-hour overnight after an outpatient procedure at a well-regarded acute-care hos ...

Once again, we aren't allowed to work on my account due to low volume. Â This is about the fifth time in the past week. Â I've only been with Landmark for 6 or 7 months and I'm really starting to regret taking a position there. Â It was great for the first few months, but then the work started disappearing. Â Lucikly, I have a second interview next week with another company. Â If I get hired, I'll probably just keep Landmark as a side job, because that's really all it ...
Right when you think MM (Merciless Master) couldn't possibly come up with a new way to add stress to your job, they make you install a software that counts your mouse clicks! My friends who still work in hospitals wouldn't believe this! Okay, I've seen everything in this business now.

I woke up this morning and the thought that has been swirling crystalized somewhat. Ladies and gentleman, those of us on platforms with "adjustments" have allowed them to redefine what a "Line" is. A line is no longer characters typed (including or not including spaces) divided by 65, which is an industry standard. We have allowed them to make how many characters equal a line a lot more than that, i.e. 5% more, 12% more, etc. !!! We are being penalized for working smarter not harder!
