It doesn't matter what they "consider." Unless you give your notice and actually tell them you quit then they are firing you. It's simple. File for UE once they lock you out of the system.
Has anyone else had the call from CCM asking you to switch shifts or to move to graveyards? What have you done? I work a late split shift already Tuesday through Saturday and got a call about why I missed work (NJA). I don't think I can work a third shift and don't know how far they will push this. They said they will float me to other BOBs in order to keep me busy when they run out of work in mine. The only problem with that is that it will bring my wage ...
I will switch to employee in a few weeks. Do they offer you certain shifts or do you pick your hours? Does everyone work weekends? How many hours per week is considered part time? Do they pay more for later shifts? Any other info ? Thanks ahead of time. ...
....maybe the pay was too low, etc, etc. If you answer the weekly question on UE - did you refuse work this week and you answer yes, what can they do? Lower your UE, stop it altogether? ...
I absolutely Refuse to do any more VR for less than what straight typing pays.
Find another Sucker to fix your jacked up reports.
This is not worth my time, I am an Educated Professional. Do not take advantage of me, I will Not sell myself short!
Note to transcription companies: Speech recognition is Not ready for medical or legal reports. It is more suited for personal or small business use at this point. Continue to push this VR crap and you will lose the good scribes. Wha ...
someone will take it - beats 0.00
Posted: Jan 17th, 2010 - 2:17 am In Reply to: Just saw a new ad ... .07 cpl, without spaces, IC, no benefits and want (sm) - Just sayin ....Why shouldn't they bid low? There is always someone who will work for a few bits less than the self-righteous I'm-too-good-for-thatters.

Bringing this up from below, because I don't understand it. In this post, the poster mentioned the self righteous I'm ...
I have been testing all week. Some companies will not even discuss pay until you take their tests. Then, I waste my time taking these tests only to be offered 7 and 8 cpl. It is absolutely offensive to me to offer me that low pay. You want all of my years of experience, but only want to pay "newbie" rates. I am completely and wholeheartedly giving up on this profession. ...
Oracle does not reply to emails with questions. They evidently only want you to fill in the blanks at their website.
I refuse to spend my valuable time testing only to find out they start you at 7 cpl or some other ridiculous rate. Can anyone tell me what they pay for an experienced IC MT? 0.09? 0.10? ...
So I am supposed to be working right now..I gave my notice last week that I would be done on August 17th, but I unfortunately am just not feeling the need to finish out the week. I am leaving because I am unhappy (like many at MQ are)..I have a new job starting on the 23rd with better pay and better hours and I can't wait! I was looking at my jobs for the last 4 weeks and have noticed I have a 99% (I forgot the word "about") on an audit and a 98.75% on an audit, with just 2 corr ...
any ideas? I live in one state and my IC "employer" lives in another. He owes me a substantial amount of money (almost 3K). Do I have any recourse against him? Could I file a suit against him with his state attorney generals office or small claims court or anything??? ...
It's about time somebody starts this, or has the guts to make such a law and enforce it.
I'd love to see it here. For heaven's sake, I had exchange students years ago who came here from Europe who spoke a hundred times better than some of these morons we transcribe. I believe half of it is sheer laziness, maybe they simply don't care to make the effort to speak better, thinking possibly that if good enough gets them through life, that's all the more ef ...
After almost 10 years of working at home and in house doing MT, and the last 3 at Nuance, I have decided to take a coding course. I am so demoralized w/Nuance. Lost my bonus (and I have not gotten sloppy and careless in my time there) and then they made it more difficult to get a bonus; the crummy health insurance, the VR is a joke ("can be twice as fast as typing," but we are absolutely paid 1/2 what we are paid for typing), the offshoring, the drs on cell phones, the horrible ESLs. ...
I was working on an account for the last 5 years and was averaging in ASR lines at 329-340 an hour with 100% audits.
Then the work got slow and I was moved to another manager and another new account.
Now my average ASR lines are around 170-180 an hour with 100% audits.
At 175 ASR line rate an hour and being part-time, that is 175 x 0.4 a line which comes to 7.00 an hour. For part-timers, I was told you have to be at 120 lines an hour and I am still a Tier 1. My s ...
is out of TAT. TSM says lots of second and third shifters were let go (code phrase-reduction in force) and now the rest of us need to step up and change our shift to second and third shift. ClusterMMuck at its finest. ...
I have been using Dictaphone's ESP Expansion Program for over 3 years now in Word and all of a sudden the other day, when I click on Control/Control to open the ESP Control Panel, nothing.....Then I went to Tools and clicked on ESP Control Panel and nothing.....I cant access it. My ESP personal files are huge and I have saved them in many safe places so Im not worried about losing them but I cant add, delete, or edit any of my thousands of expansion files. ALso, the esps work when I typ ...
so tired of these "failed audit" emails. God forbid I get a 99.5. Please reply with how you are going to change this in the future. Slow down.
Sorry I can't F'ing slow down i have kids to feed and you cut my pay over $5000 last year. so fire me and let me collect UE and foodstamps. OH WAIT you can't because you are constantly out of TAT and begging for people to work because they are all quitting or you fired them already. My bad ...
I can't pass an audit to save my life...I figure any day now I'll receive a call telling me to log out, even though I've not finished the report I'm on, and I'll be fired. I'm so sick of feeling like I'm doing my best, only to find out that this little error, or that little error (spacing or period or comma, among others) causes a 0.25 point drop and those puppies add up. I think 99.5 is an unreasonable level and I'm sick and tired of feeling w ...
Hey guys, I'm so frustrated because for some reason my Gear Player will not play my files. This is the second time this has happened. I don't know what I did the first time to make it work, it just sort of happened. When I get work, the files will automatically go into Gear Player, but then when I try to load to file it says "Converting File" and then it just never loads. It doesn't make any sense because it happens to files that I've already played too so I know they should ...
It is very difficult to keep going back over everything without a foot pedal. Is there some universal way to be able to make a foot pedal work with all these different tests or is there always a different set up for every single test. I dont want to be downloading lots of things to test with every single company. ...
I watched a documentary on this fire the other night and mentioned to my SO how it reminded me of being an MT for Nuance. It seems like sooner or later something very bad is going to happen. I know it's reaching, but think of the similarities; they were all women, they worked long hours, weekends, made crappy pay and were skilled at what they do, and yet...

workflow changes due to a large account being lost (wasn't my primary). Wondered why all of a sudden I was off my primary and getting mostly this account. Of course, they didn't know it was leaving until it disappeared. I'd probably have a heart attack if I every heard the truth. Never know what hospital is going to show up in the queve, more longer transcription jobs, ASR jobs that have to be typed because the ASR does not match up, some horrible dict ...
