then they wont be starving you out! Then you will collect full benefits after they dry us out completely!

I've only gotten a couple piddly little jobs from my much-hated secondary, with big gaps in between.

Me too - nm

I wonder what is going on. I am sick and tired of spending my time sitting here waiting for a little job to come up and then nothing. I am very suspicious. It has been like this all week, something is just not right.

Not much here either - Dinosaur

I had a few very short jobs from an account I had never heard of before, but not many.

South has been really slow also, but not quite - as bad

The weather and earthquake might have something to do with it. Bad back there right now.

I Am Really Sick Of Transcend Having Jobs Posted
Dec 09, 2011

on their website, but after going through 2 weeks of red tape for a QA job being told they are all filled.  The recruiter says, "oh, we are just waiting for background checks on the other posts."  Really, it takes 2 weeks to check background on one person.  Obviously, they do not understand the stress and time involved in going through their ridiculous process and red tape, and then 2 weeks to a month later, still nothing, BUT THE JOB POSTS ARE STILL THERE. Please don't ans ...


70 Jobs In The Entire North Region
Nov 23, 2012

On your average day, 5000! Now, 70. I get that its a holiday, but I have run out for 3 weeks now. TSM said they over-hired and work went to India.. well, then get rid of the new hires already. This is ridiculous. Why would they hire more when they planned to ship more work overseas? Is this to train the new hires becuase they make so much less than some of us who have been here awhile? At this point, I dont believe there will be pay cuts, I think they will just starve out the ones making a high ...


Interim QA Gone - North Or West (or North By Northwest) With Apologies To Alfred Hitchcock !
Apr 05, 2011

Ours from the West has (thankfully) gone back to being another MME like the rest of us poor mortals.  I found her e-mails to be bossy, snippy, condescending and picky to the point of absurdity.  The frosting on the cake was the recent e-mail that said MT's are to be held at fault if the doctor makes a mistake on a lab value, med dosage, etc.  Some people get a little taste of power and become unbearable.  I, for one, bid her a joyful farewell because ...


Anyone Who Doesn't Have Work Ask To Move To North, North Is Swamped

If your bob never has work, ask to move to the north. We even got an e mail from the head of work routing, stating they need everyone to work.  That never happens.  If you need work and are constantly out, ask to move. ...


Just Another Vent About Jobs, No Jobs, Requirement Of Jobs, Etc.
Aug 18, 2010

It is insulting to all of us with the way that MT pay has gone down the drain, it is frustrating and aggravating to look for a "decent" job these days, trying to work out which companies will treat you fairly, which ones lie about their platforms, work, etc., and not only do these companies not want to pay us what we are worth but now I see that MANY companies are requiring the MT to have or "be willing" to purchase hundreds of dollars worth of equipment.  If an employer can PROMISE IN ...


Medical Jobs Online Posting On Jobs Board

I tried entering my ID plus dep on the Fluency for Transcription page and it said my account was inactive.  Okay, so I tried twice with Remedy to get it reactivated.  Both times I got emails telling me it was working.  Tried again and no luck.  Am I on the right page, the one with the hideous orange splash, the same one we use to find our stats?  Any help appreciated, I really don't want to have to call tech support if I don't have to.  Do I even need to d ...

I'm So Sick Of My Job.
Jan 27, 2012

This was a wonderful company to work for at first and now we have new QA people and I can't stand my job. Everything has been changed after 12 years of doing it one way, and if I do it the way the doctors have dictated/still dictate for years I get an email about how I need to follow the new rules.  This is one QA person that has decided to change everything.  We enter a lot of information that we're not paid for, and are now no longer paid for headers, and forget about BOS a ...


I Am So Sick Of CPs.
Aug 27, 2012

Here I am, getting shuffled around in the 'cesspool', a dozen unfamilar accounts. You have your decent accounts with just the basics. Then, you have the CPs that are a long as novels and, if you miss something, you will hear about it, the fact it is in the CP and you shouldn't make such a mistake. I already spend so much time reading CPs, that I then get warnings that my production has fallen. So much for a consistent layout of CPs. I have to hunt for desired PE format, etc... ...

So Sick Of QA
Sep 14, 2014

We have an account that is 100% QA.  So, so, so sick of the nitpicking "a" "the" crap.  If you put "the patient" they change it to "patient."  If you put "patient" they change it to "the patient."  Sick of slowing down to catch every little "a" and losing money by the second.  Screw it, I'm just gonna do my best and the MMEs can just have a field day with their petty changes.  ...


So Sick Of This
Jun 03, 2015

i know this has been mentioned in here, but what is up with whole sections of a note done by ASR being missing?  its bad enough that we get paid nothing to do this ASR crap, but when we have to actually transcribe whole sections we should be getting paid at the straight typing rate.  i'm so close to just wiping out these ASR dictations and just typing them but i don't know how to do that...to change it from ASR to regular.  i'm sure i'd get yelled at anyway. &n ...


What Is This About No Sick Time For MTs?
Oct 23, 2009

Okay any CTLs observing this board, please, please, please explain to me why an MT/ME cannot ask for sick time?   I have a doctor's appointment and the doctor/specialist WILL NOT make it for a day I am off.  So, I requested time off w/o pay for the day.   I don't have a problem making up the time, but I am already working constantly as it is to make up from a very serious illness I have and am trying to get well from.   The email we got was very vague ...


Makes Me Sick
Dec 15, 2009

I am currently awaiting a call from my boss about going salary for my position as an MT, and I have no patience , so just for fun I googled "how much salary does a medical transciptionist get paid" and I clicked on this link to one of those question/answer sites where someone asked about the average transcriptionist's salary, and what I read made me sick. This person wrote a huge answer about what is to be an MT and how they get paid and such.  This person is claiming essentially they ...

I Am So Sick Of Computers!
Oct 27, 2011

I know all the techies out there will say I must "get with the times", but I absolutely hate computers!  It isn't enough that you have to learn a new platform for each and every company you work for, but they think you should know all the regular "computer stuff" as well.  I don't use my computer for anything except work, email, and to look things up because I don't want to-- but everybody expects you to be a computer expert today, like it or not.  If they didn' ...

Just found out new policy is THREE sick days per year.  It doesn't matter if you have leave or not.  WTF?  Are they serious?  If the three days are used, then they want a form filled out from your doctor stating you have a medical condition.  This is the craziest crap I have ever heard.  Who takes less than 3 days per YEAR?  If you get the flu, you will need 3 days. ...


Im Sick Of You All Complaining

I got about 10 people that were with me, the rest of you sat back and complained yet did NOTHING.. So this is what you get when you dont get involved, sit back and let others do your dirty work, you get screwed. Your jobs are in India, my job is in India. Im ready to ...
