Midnight shift - work

Posted: Jan 25, 2014

Hey fellow MTs, is there work on the midnight shift? It seems that during the day there should be doctor's dictating all day, so why is there no work? Is MM delegating the work to certain MTs? Does anyone really know what is going on? It would be nice if they let us know what is happening. Is all the work really going to India because they are cheaper...or ?

Saturday morning here with nothing! I dragged myself out of bed for nothing except a good cry! nm - broke

Is the work really going to India because it's cheaper? - Where have you been?

While the CEO of JPMorgan, Chase, the company that owns us, just got a raise this week, from $11 MILLION a YEAR to $20 MILLION.

GOOD GOSH! That's $54,794.52 A DAY! - freaking out

I seriously can't even wrap my mind around that much money. He earns almost $55,000 a day, every day of the year. Someone PLEASE tell me my math is wrong ... I'm better with words than numbers ...

Holy crap ...

you must be in the West region - lots of work in East

I don't get it ... someone posted yesterday that the east was bone dry - anon

I'm not sure how the 2 regions can be swamped with work one day and NJA up the kazoo the next.

One day the west is swamped, the next day the east is swamped. It's totally crazy, and literally swings like a pendulum day to day - there is absolutely NO consistency.

well when we were bought out our clients agreed to go to - Futurenet but

NOT offshore. I know some on here don't believe that that but how else do you explain us never running out of work and being out of turn at least once a week plus hiring help??

ad over in the left-hand margin for "Feed The Pig".org .... with a picture of a big, pink pig in a suit, and a hand dropping money into its head. Pretty appropriate, don't you think? When we work for these MTSO's for peanut-pay and little or no benefits, that's what we're doing: FEEDING THE PIG. ...

Hello, Well at 12:08 a.m. on 02/28, I had 99.03%. At noon on 02/28, somehow another QA audit showed up in my inbox. The reason why I distinctly remember this report is because 1) it was one of the last reports I did on 02/26 (notice it took 2 days to get to my inbox), and I laughed hysterically at what ASR put before I changed it during spellcheck (yes I did not catch it until spellcheck). However, I changed it during spellcheck, and lo and behold it never saved. This particular spellcheck no ...

Saw the ad elsewhere. Are these companies nuts?! I hope nobody takes that pay. That's equivalent to 1 cpl as an employee with benes FOR QA WORK! I get so frustrated reading some of these ads with such horrible pay. ...

I was wondering if it's really worth it to work the 3rd shift? Does the additional CPL really make that much of a difference. Does the workload stay steadier during that time? I've been offered a 3rd shift part-time job, but just don't know if it's worth revamping my entire day to work this late. Would anybody working this shift let me know how it works out as far as sleep, daytime errands, etc.? ...

I see job ads for First Shift, Second Shift, etc., and modified shifts, and I am not sure exactly what periods of time these are. I figure they are specific hours of the day - like day, swing, graveyard shifts - but what are the hours, generally? I have only worked as an IC with TAT. I am considering applying for some of the employee status jobs but need to clarify what these shifts are. Thank you. ...

Would anyone happen to know which company has a 2nd shift besides MModal or Nuance? I see a lot of ads for 1st or 3rd, but due to family obligations I need 2nd shift. Straight typing or speech - MT or QA (have done both). Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction. ...

Totally unhappy with current company, but do love my shift. Most jobs advertised are for 2nd and 3rd shift. Anyone know of companies that would hire for very early morning or possible split shifts? Too old at this time to think about trying night shift, but could do some evenings. Don't mind weekends at all. Any info helpful. TIA ...

Jan 07, 2015

I was just curious if there is any correalation between working 2nd shift and being unable to get to sleep at night? I have been having trouble sleeping lately and wondering if it could be due to the fact that I have been staying on later typing? Wondering if its making it harder for me to sleep because its taking so long for my brain to unwind? Anyone else have this problem? Advice appreciated. Thanks! ...

About 1/3 of those 100% QA reports were done by ILPs. Total average earnings per hour: a little over 4 $, but I will be paid at my state's minimum wage. Before my in-house hospital job was outsourced to an MTSO that kept the work in the country for 2 years and then sent it to India, I was being paid 19 $ an hour and also had great benefits and PTO. When did this "profession" turn into a minimum wage job ? (actually, half of minimum wage if ...

As I am getting no work during the day shift anymore, I have the chance to go third shift Sun-Thursday (11-7), either that or find a new job (yeh right), or do ASR (done it at this company, no thanks to returning there). I have never worked that one before. How/when do you sleep? Any other pros/cons about this shift? Thaniks your your advice. ...

I have been working third shift for about three months and am still having some trouble getting used to it. My question is do you work your shift then go to sleep or do you stay up until later in the afternoon and then sleep until your shift starts. I work a 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. and am trying to find the best way to be able to stay awake during my shift. I do not drink coffee. I have tried some of those energy drinks that are sugar free, which helped some, just now wond ...

many of us will be reassigned to 2nd or 3rd shift. If you are assigned and do not comply, you will be considered as having resigned. Hmm... sounds like a way to lay off/fire people in a way they won't be eligible for unemployment. Can't get unemployment for quitting (resigned)! CCM says we have trouble with going out of TAT during 2nd & 3rd shift, mostly on the weekend. Hmm.... I work 2nd shift and I have barely had any work from the primaries - mostly helper accounts and even had ...

I'm considering taking a 3rd shift job, which I've never done before. Any suggestions on making the transition to working 3rd shift from days, staying awake without depending on too much caffiene, getting enough sleep during the day, etc. I also have a puppy that will be at home with me during the day and am wondering if he needs to stay up with me at night so he will sleep during the day also. I would appreciate any and all advice. TIA. ...

Hello everyone! I was wondering if anyone who works or has worked third shift in the past could share with me any advice they might have. I have always worked first shift, but I have been offered a really terrific position working third shift on the weekends, and I am finding myself wanting to give it a try. I know it would be a difficult transition at first, and I would need to focus on taking good care of myself. If anyone has any advice, I would so greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advanc ...

Have been fortunate and always worked first shift (weekends included). Now it looks like those are hard to come by and may have to take a 2nd shift or third shift. Once you do, is it easy to get on days in a year or two with most companies or are you locked in for life? ...
