Is This The Norm For This Time Of Year - Meaning - NO WORK?? If so, how
Posted: Nov 24, 2012
long does this usually last? I am in the process to applying for other jobs to places in my area, non-MT and even got a couple resumes out for some Part Time IC positions.
Wondering if I should apply for partial unemployment? Is this a yearly thing this time of the year? No work for the past two days and looking at the statistics, there is only just over 12,000 jobs out there company wide and for each job out there, there is probbly 5 MTs waiting and hoping to snag it.
let me also add...I know more work has been off-shored and - was wondering if this is

the reason we are having this problem. When they fired a bunch of CCMs back in October and merged accounts/teams, a lot of work went overseas then.
Also, our tech department has gone global. None of this is looking good. I haven't had to consider unemployment in over 20 years.
No, this is not typical of a slow time. - Between Xmas and mid January is

Yes, you typically run out of work on a holiday, however, it always pick back up. I have been running out for 3 weeks. I plan to file for partial unemployment and I hope everyone else does as well. They did shift more work overseas, and they did hire newbies, and they are overstaffed and I know that they dont care.

I Just Got Laid Off For The Third Time This Year Dec 16, 2013I was laid off from my in-house MT job earlier this year due to the hospital outsourcing, went to work at a MTSO and was laid off 3 months later due to them being bought out by a bigger company, then went to work as an IC for a smaller company only to be laid off today due to them losing their largest account. I am not going to let this defeat me, but I'm starting to feel like something is wrong with me as an MT! Well, maybe this is a blessing in disguise. Maybe now I shou ...

America's Pride - No Work, Is This Normal For This Time Of Year? Jan 27, 2011I've worked at America's Pride since last spring so I never went through a holiday season with them before.

I am currently making less than $10/day, sitting here for hours, watching as not a single job on my accounts come in. Lately, no jobs for ANY account come in.

MTSO Overstaffing Is The NORM Now, Right? Dec 08, 2011Last year I left the moderate-sized MTSO I worked for to work for a smaller company. My former employer had overstaffed the accounts to the point that I was borderline homeless, so I had no choice but to leave.
At first, things were better at the new company. The CPL is slightly better (9 versus 8 at the other gig), and I was making about $1200 every 2 weeks. That isn't great but at least I can live on it, and I work less than 30 hours per week.

Remember When Getting A CMT Differential Was The Norm? Dec 19, 2012Just reminscing, lol. Five years ago I used to get a 1 cpl CMT differential and that was not uncommon or hard to find.

IC Contract Question - Is This The Norm?? Feb 17, 2013What do you think of this? Is this a normal inclusion on a contract? Personally, I think this is a load of B.S. (P.S., they only pay 5.75 cents/per line to begin with, for straight transcription.)
Any errors requiring extra processing (blanks/questions) or reprocessing (resends) created by the Subcontractor will incur a charge that will be billed to the Subcontractor by the Contractor.
Charges will be made on a per-line basis of the entire (re)processed document with said line being 65 charact ...
