Well another pay period shot to heckari... sm - ververyoldMQMT


Posted: Sep 01, 2010

As the old adage goes.   The harder I work the behinder I get....   Can't win.  I was working with a good pay period and then same ol same ol,  NJA.   And to top it off, I cannot ever get into QCare, it stays on a proverbial lock at the loading screen.   So just shoot me.....    At this point, I don't care anymore....

 

Pay Period - What Pay?

[ In Reply To ..]
I am about ready to throw in the towel. I have been working as an IC (not my choice, but needed a job) and for the whole month of August and this is working every day, half time mind you, but really working hard, I didn't even make $500.00 for the whole month. I am supposedly getting 8.5 cpl. Yeah right, what every other word? I immediately quit. Thank goodness I had a back up job, but what a waste of my time and what I had to go through for this job. They are just treating us like dirt and for the life of me, I don't know how much more I can take. If you went to work for McDonald's you would know you are making $7.50 an hour or thereabouts and get that for every hour you work, but with this crazy line of work, you get no work, no money and what you do get after working oh so very hard, is still nothing. I figured I made about $7.00 an hour working for this lady. NOW, that I have quit, I have to hope she pays me or small claims court here I come. What a mess!

I couldn't get into QCare yesterday. - Locked on loading screen.

Swine Flu Shot?
Apr 14, 2010

Has anyone gotten the swine flu shot, as in those working in hospitals or in home.  They say it is on the rise again and I am debating on whether to get it.  I work at home, so no risk from hospitals, but I do have kids in school to bring it home to me.  They say the 30-somethings (me) get a VERY bad case of it and the kids are usually fine?  So much info and so many decisions, makes you want to wear a mask on a day to day basis. ...


$170.00 FOR A TETANUS SHOT!!!????
Apr 18, 2013

Went to the doctor's office this morning to get my tetanus shot updated because I fell the other day and cut myself and Dr. said my last tetanus shot was 10 years ago.  When I told them I did not have any insurance that it would cost me $170.00 because they were required to charge an "administrative fee" (hospital-owned practice).  I just about swallowed my tongue!  Fortunately the lady checking me in suggested I go to the Health Department and I could get it m ...

Hard Drive Shot...now What?
Jun 21, 2010

OK, here's the scoop. I am working on an older company-provided Dell running XP that's basically on the very last of its legs (got the blue screen of death this morning but was able to finally get to Windows and into my program). I talked with our IT guy today, and he said to get a new hard drive and have the old info transferred (at my expense, because of new company rules). I work on ChartScript.net and asked if that ran on Vista because I could then use my laptop, our only other com ...

Long Shot, But Are There Any Companies Out There That ...?
May 24, 2014

Any companies that will let you give you work your own hours as long as you complete a set number of lines per given day?  I'd love to be an IC again with my own hours, since I have kids that need to be driven around all day.Either that or a night job.  I could use some company suggestions.  I've worked for several and not happy right now.  Thank you! ...

CO Hospital Employees Threatened W/ Firing If They Don't Get Flu Shot
Oct 06, 2012

  This makes me REALLY glad I am getting the hell out of health care!   These draconian measures are being implemented across the country.  Most require that ALL employees -- even those who work off-site and have zero patient contact -- receive the toxic injection or they will lose their job.    Check out the comments.  I was VERY heartened to see that the vast majority of them are by posters opposed to the mandate (several very educated MDs and RNs po ...

Period Or No Period

Hi.  I know I am going to get ripped for these questions.  However, I have not transcribed in a while and I cannot remember if mg, mcg should be mg., mcg.  Can someone help me update myself.  Thanks Carol.  Also, since I am asking, for postoperative diagnosis do you type " same "or do you type out what the preop was?  I would appreciate any help as there are so many different ways to transcribe it and sometimes clients have preferences.  Thanks Carol. ...


End Of Pay Period . . .
Jan 20, 2013

and I'm a little concerned.  My supervisor religiously sends out an email reminding people to approve their timecards, and this time - nothing.  I've put in the last of my PTO to cover all the hours I missed this week due to NJA (which is basically a failure of management to staff accounts correctly), and she still hasn't approved it.  She usually has by this time.  My concern is that MModal is going to start pulling stunts like some of these other c ...


End Of Pay Period
Jan 30, 2013

This is to those MTs who do next to nothing for most of the pay period and then the last 2 days decide to make up all of their lines.  It really screws those of who show up every day and work our full day.  I've spent more time hitting the "get next job" today than I've transcribed lines.  I looked back at the last 5 pay periods and every single one of them on the last 2 days of the pay, I was barely able to make my lines. If you're going to be a slacker then just ...

Got MUP This Pay Period.
Jul 09, 2014

Low and no work, multiple accounts.  Lucky I got what I did this last payperiod.  However, early this year I got a few bucks in MUP and was told to bring my statistics up or else.  Now, I figure I will be either fired or put on probation for this.  Spent too much time signing in and out for OOW crap.  Should not hold us accountable for that, but you know how it goes. ...


How Could I Have Earned So Little This Pay Period!!!
Dec 10, 2009

I'm $200 short.  The big difference is I did more ASR this pay period.  At this rate, the rent is now at least 3/4 of my monthly earnings.  How am I going to pay the bills and still eat? Hope I can survive until I'm out of here?  Counting down - 7 more months to go until my training for a new career is finished.  ...


Probation Period

ASR's Training Period Over

Why are we still having to jump through hoops -- highlight and skip marker for more than 5 words, etc.  - for the ASR?  Hasn't it had time to "learn" all it is going to learn?  It would be so much easier just to delete the crap we can't use and have to re-do instead of all the red skip markers, etc.  Anybody been told that we can just DELETE and not SKIP yet? ...
