Sitting here waiting on work! I have only worked for 1 hour today!

So only 3 jobs this a.m. and obviously my accounts have no work. I have been checking all morning. Have a cookout with friends this afternoon I could be attending. E-mailed boss, but of course she must be off enjoying the holiday. I'm thinking I'm going to go ahead and enjoy my afternoon away from the computer waiting for NO JOBS? What do the rest of you do when you have no work? ...

to connect. I can't believe we have to sit here and check back every 15 minutes to see if DQS is back up. What are the rest of the night crew doing? Are you checking every 15 minutes? It is freezing here too and I would rather be in my pj's under the covers with my cat. Sorry to vent but I am starting to feel like a ping pong ball going back and forth into DQS. ...

am concerned if I quit this job I will get another with the exact same situation. I have no clue what to do with myself sitting waiting and it makes me nervous. ...

accounts. Gets extremely tiring. How do you deal with this. I complain but it does no good. Not much sense going elsewhere I guess because it is all the same. ...

I am an oncology MT with TransTech and have been sitting and waiting for work to come in for weeks. In the last 2 weeks, I have had about 16 hours worth of work. I'm worrying about how I am going to pay my bills. Then I come to this site and see that TransTech is once again advertising for Oncology MTs. This makes me SO ANGRY!!! Why would a company do this? Why advertise jobs when their current employees have no work at all?? ...

waiting on reports. Not sure how to handle this. I am looking for other work but no luck so far. Do others find this mentally stressful babysitting your computer. ...

My random audits have happened the last 3 months between the 10th and 15th of each month. So, now... well, I guess I wait to see where the axe will fall. ...

Hate it when they say," You have to work your shift." Then we sit and wait for 1 report, maybe 2 every hour. Well, "I can give you another account to work on." Account specifics only 35 to 40 pages. OK will do that. By the way, there is only 1 report on that account... What a waste..... And, no, you cannot have off. You were scheduled to work, so you have to work.... ...

I applied, tested for and passed for the Accentus STARTeam position. I received a call from HR for the first interview and went on to a second interview with who would be my transcrition manager within hours of the first interview. I was on the phone with her for over an hour. She was very excited about my experience and told me I would be a great fit. It was very clear that she thought I would be a valuable addition to her team and the interview went very, very well. &nb ...

I worked 7.18 hours today. I at breakfast at my desk, lunch at my desk. I got to transcribe 2 reports which came up blank for some reason? So, I just did the math, made 6.75 an hour. It makes me sick. Merry Christmas CEO and upper staff, hope the ghosts of Christmas past,present and future visit you tonight, not that it would do any good. To the rest of you, who are in the trenches like me MERRY CHRISTMAS, MAY THE NEW YEAR BRING US A BETTER LIFE WHERE WE ARE ACTUALLY APPRECIATED AND C ...

I note number of characters in a report, divide by 65 (per line), then divide that by hours worked. I can buy a whole gallon of milk with my morning's earnings! ...

Hi:I am make incentive based on minutes, but I work on a system that lets me check how many lines and minutes I have typed in a day also. Just in case I have to get another job based on lines, I wanted to know what is the average amount of lines per hour or per 8 hour shift. Thanks for the advice in advance. MeL ...

I know none of us get paid by the hour, but I was just wondering if any of you have ever figured out just how much you earn per hour, based on a 40-hour week. I'm just trying to figure out where I fit in. I seem to be earning $16-18/hour give or take based on how my week goes. ...

With MM's restrictions on pretty much everything, how often does everybody get up to take a break? Previously I could get up and stretch, walk away for a few minutes before downloading the next job, but now I get reprimanded for inactive time. How long do you work before standing up? Do you stand and work at the same time sometimes. I have severe RLS and to top that off my chair is like sitting on a brick. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks! ...

waiting for any work to trickle in. I wish I knew where it was going. Gotta find a new line of work after 20 years of MT. So sad... ...

I logged in at 10 a.m. EST and worked my entire shift. I got NJA a few times, so didn't do as many jobs as normal (straight typing only). Anyway, the work kept coming, so I kept typing. The DEP screen said they were working on moving the "stuck" jobs out, so I figured I would just plug along. I wrote down every job number I typed along the way. At the end of my shift, I had 17 jobs that were hanging in limbo. I had submitted a ticket to QCare but had received no respons ...

I thought most Spring Breaks were middle of March? Are there Spring Breaks in April? ...

so frustrated I could just scream. I have a dentist appt on my day off (Monday) but got a call last night that they could fit me in this morning and stupid me said no because of work and now I sit here with NOTHING and a dentist appointment on my day off. I hope I hear from one of the several jobs I have applied to soon because this just is not working for me any more!!!!! ...

articles about how bad it is for your health. Some days I actually think I feel clots forming in my legs (probably all in my head though). I'm looking for ways to be a healthier MT without lowering productivity. ...

in my group to work Christmas. Why do they ruin our Christmases when they know there's no work?! Bunch of grinches.... ...

It's a sad realization that while I was a fairly decent medical transcriptionist, I am not good at editing. I made 3 critical errors in one day. I don't really have an excuse. I caught a bazillion errors as I had some pretty bad dictations yesterday but missed a lab error 50.3 instead of 50.8, a diagnosis VR typed hemangioma and it was supposed to be meningioma. There was one other stupid one. I'm not too proud to admit, I am just not cut out for this. I'm not sure if ...

Long dictation, and my earing are killing me already...thanks you idiot. Is there anyway to save voice files? I mean at some point I will be deaf from this job, workers comp sounds about right ...

My transcription job was always paid by the hour. I was laid off and they recently offered me a temp position with them making $12.00 an hour. I was also offered a positon that pays 7.5 and 3.5 cpl. The $12.00 is employee status for a small local company I worked for over 9 years. The other is an IC position. Do you think I would make more with the $12.00 an hour or the per line production rate? I have never done production by line work so I'm not sur ...

A week and a half of this and not getting better. Emails about new quality standards and as I will be transitioning into fluency I will be making below minimum wage which is not going to cut it for my bills. How is this legal??? No work during shift, complicated procedures which take up MY unpaid time to try and figure out, unrealistic standards when there is work, having to meet an hourly production minimum but get a massive paycut if you need help. UGH! I'm picturi ...

It states, "Most important plenty of work. We do all we can to assure you will stay busy your entire shift. NO waiting or praying for work to come." I guess today and the last 2 months have been my imagination. ...

By this time in the day, usually, there has been at least 7 emails - several from QA, at least 2-3 backlog updates, and 1 reminder to work our shift and work our entire shift. ...
