Question for those who are left - Trampled underfoot

Posted: Sep 12, 2013

Is it company-wide that everyone has to work 8 hours on weekends, weekends being 6 p.m. Friday to midnight Sunday?

So far, I am safe. I work 5 hours on Saturday - only. Have not heard I have

to add 8 more hours to that.

Sorry, I meant have not heard I have to add - 3 hours to my 5 hours.

It's been that way since I walked in the door - 25 years ago

It wasn't across the board at that time - Trampled underfoot

That may have been what you were hired for, but I know 25 years ago, that wasn't a hard and fast rule - I've been here for 31 years.

Different original companies probably - JustMe

It's probably based on the original company, or even the manager. I was offered Sun-Thurs or Tues-Sat, 8 hours a day. I've since changed it to more hours on Sundays and less on other days to fit my life and it's been working out really great.

Weekend - MT

I guess it depends on what company you started with. My original company that was bought out by medquist required 1 weekend 8 hr day in your schedule...I assumed that was everyone but apparently not.

I wanted friday off so I have worked sunday for years - nothing to do on Sundays anyway

why not work?

weekend - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
I've never been required to work weekends. This is the first I've heard of mandatory weekends. I've been here 9 years.

working weekends - ari

When I was there I found that was more or less mandated by your own particular manager. Before it was M-Modal I never worked a weekend day, but when I got the wicked witch from the north as a manager she insisted I work Sundays. I had absolutely no work and basically signed on, waited 15 minutes, signed off, did the e-mail thing, etc. and went about my day!

Haven't ever heard that. 2 hours of my shift are - after 6 Friday, and I do 4 hours Saturday. nm

Nope, I only work monday through friday - pee

I used to work four hours on sunday but got a new TCM and changed my schedule and haven't worked sundays in probably 2 years.

No, not company wide. Haven't heard this and work M-F (nm) - anon

Are there any companies left that either transfer files by FTP or similar and leave you alone to do your work as long as it is in TAT? I work at home due to my anxiety. Have a position with a company that is trying to start some kind of group thing where you have someone hovering over you while you work or you are supposed to be the hoverer for someone else, which might be okay for some people who like working with others. I have never been able to work well with people. ...

I'm just curious is all.

So... I worked for WMX for 3 years (after MQ for 7), then I left to work for the local school system for a year and a half. I got laid off due to state budget cuts. My former manager from WMX took me back but said I had to work third shift -- maybe not permanently -- no promises. I worked my *#% off for 6 months, almost to the day. It wrecked my sleep patterns, my personal life, everything... but I needed the money and benefits, so I did it. Finally, my account went through the ISR conversi ...

Since September, they've been looking for a total of 76 MTs. Are the audits over for another month or so and how many are gone over those audits? Any long term TTers left?

Has anyone ever left MModal or Medquist and returned? I left on good terms and gave my 2 week notice and worked it. I know, I know why do I want to come back? Well, I was hired at a job and its just not working out. I know MModal had its issues, but they are the only place I've worked for since I started transcription. Yes, I intend to get out of this profession. But for right now I need something coming in while looking to get back into school. TIA ...

Let go 08/15 and looking back it was a blessing. When I come on here and read the horror stories, I feel emancipated. I actually can't believe I worked so long for so little money, with all the stress and emails and changes and QA audits, etc. My life is infinitely better now. I am even more busy than ever. I move around so much more, which is healthier, and feel free. So when the next round of "firings" (call it what you want, same thing) happens, try no ...
