This is a load of you know what... - anon

They are just not delegating the work adequately. This is my biggest pet peeve of all time. There will be several thousand jobs in my region and my accounts run out...and then I sit...and wait...and nothing. They say change your hours, well guess what? I already work mostly 2nd shift. "Make up time on Saturday." There is no work, apparently, on Saturday anymore either! In looking at the numbers, certain hospitals seem to never run out, while others are just bone dry. Overstaffed? Well, that seems easy enough to fix. Come on already! It just drives me nuts when I see my accounts have a bunch of jobs and then bam - gone in like 15 minutes and no helper accounts set up.

You do - know

that the jobs you are seeing in your accounts also include all the work in India on those accounts, right.

I thought we only see our work - in the stats

If I see 20 jobs listed, they are the 20 graciously given to the US MTs.

When I see 400 jobs in the entire region, that is not including the Indian MTs.

I think some of us have more access than others or something.

I've been an MME here for years and an MT here longer than that, and I know for a fact that I only see the US side of things. I QA work from India on accounts that disappeared from the manager long ago. From what I was told previously, those on or previously Cornerstone can see everything. Whether this is true or not I don't know. It could be that some CCMs accidentally or accidentally did not give those privileges to all.

my TSM always gives me a helper pool - if yours does not

If your TSM doesn't give you a helper pool when you run out of work, then I think you need to find out why. There IS work, and probably work in YOUR region.

I have asked my TSM for a helper pool - and was told there is nothing

[ In Reply To ..]
Even when I can see that there is work in the other part of our region. I questioned this, and was told that unless there is late work, she cannot give me any. I think I will have to start going above some heads soon, which I am sure will put another target on my head, but what do I have to lose?

You have nothing to lose - North MT

I already have gone above the TSM and will go above his head too if I need to all the way to Queen Amy herself. Either give me work or lay me off. Simple really. No more of this hang in there or work will pick up nonsense.

well yeah if that stuff is pretty current - I guess they would not give it to you nm

How are you people "seeing" the work? What platform are you working in where you have that capability? I work in one platform where I can see only the work in my pool, and there isn't any.

I'm an MME in DQS - or Fluency, whatever

[ In Reply To ..]
and I can see the unassigned transcription for each service area including those in India.

I have never even looked to see - MSmt

if there is work in my pool. I just do what comes up and if there isn't any, then I don't work. I guess I just am not that into worrying about whether it is there or not. I have so many accounts to do on different platforms, I don't have time for anything else.

I tried to get DocQScribe to load from the DocQManage page for over an hour and finally had to send in a ticket. Is anyone else having this kind of trouble with the system. It showed a green light on DEP. This is getting rediculous. I could not work my scheduled shift on Sunday because there were no jobs available (but incentive stayed in place). Now I cannot work my scheduled shift because of something else. I don't know about anyone else, but with a fam ...

Finally quit. Except for leaving MM I have never felt such a load taken off my shoulders. I am going to a hospital system where historically they do not treat people like robots, or slaves. I was going to try to hang on here, by hermiting (do my job and not look at e mails, etc) but decided to try to get out and with a lot of job hunting it worked. I still cannot believe how much pressure has lifted. Oddly I no longer feel depressed. I guess now I know what was causing my sadness... I am not say ...

Always the same old song and dance. The subject of MTs needing more pay per line comes up, and what does the speaker do? Redirect the focus on all the added "upgrades" to their software they plan to buy (probably for hundreds of thousands of dollars) to "help us be more productive". Got news for them. You can only go SO fast. There IS a limit. And after all the emphasis on accountability and accuracy, do they not see that speed just increases errors ...

Am I the only one who runs out of work? I find it very hard at night to keep going with the dreaded no work available. At least during the day, you can clean house, email, pick up the telephone, etc. During the night, you are limited to surfing and staring! Then I am too sleep deprived to pull extra hours to make up for missed line counts. I am doing third shift for the extra incentitive but it doesn't work in my favor if I run out of work! Any ideas?

I had Sunday and Monday off, as usual. Late yesterday I tried logging into e mail to see if I missed anything, could not. This morning, in anticipation of my shift at 2:00 I tried to log in to e mail, intranet would not load. Is it just me? What do we do if e mail is down? I hope the clock is working, anybody who can please catch me up to speed... Thanks. ...

I quit MQ a few months ago. I loved my account and miss it.

The large teaching hospital always was backlogged, with lots and lots of work. But I won't bother to reapply if the work is low. ...

I just got a new laptop and I installed express scribe, which I use on my desktop, and could not load any wav files on the laptop. I did windows updates and that seemed to fix the problem, the files that day I was able to play. A file that came in today I am unable to play though, but still can play the other files from Friday. They are all wav files and on my desktop I can play them all, just not my laptop. Does anybody know what could possibly be going on here? Thanks for all the hel ...

I recently downloaded the free version of Express Scribe. The "Welcome" message plays with no problem, but any file that I try to load plays super-fast. I am pretty sure I checked all the settings, such as F10 (normal play back speed) and the speed control in the bottom right hand corner. If anyone can help with this I would appreciate it. I did send an email to tech support but will probably never get an answer b/c I didn't purchase it. ...
