at this particular time of the year. I went part-time last month. I have to tell you, my paycheck barely covers my "have to pay" bills. Also, my husband gets a little disability, very little and he's sick so, I feel lucky we at least can eat and keep the lights on but not much else. Merry Christmas!

ask to be moved to SE - we are slammed

No reports. One of the accounts show work - but those are for India.

[ In Reply To ..]
We have an account. There are a couple of horrible dictators that is what I get to do. The other easy dictators are for India. When you look to see if there is work, the account shows there is work waiting to be done, but that is for India. No work for me or others who do the account. The horrible dictators must be off for the holidays.

GOTTA LOVE THIS COMPANY!!!

Pretty - sickening

isn't it?

Actually, from what I've observed - ILP work does not show up for us

[ In Reply To ..]
From what I have seen as an MME, ILP work doesn't even show up in the backlog. I know this because I've QAd their work on hospitals that I used to type on as an MT but had thought were gone because they stopped showing up in the backlog. Furthermore, even the work they type cannot be seen when looking referencing old work in the FfT Manager (docqmanage).

Those jobs that you see may be in a separate MT group in you BOB. For instance, on my accounts there is a certain picky dictator that was complaining so much that my CCM picked a handful of MTs who were willing and could type him and made it so that dictator's work only routed to those specific MTs.

I believe you are right, ILP work does not show up for us - in DocQmanage. If those

accounts are in India, you wont see them. The accounts I work on recently went overseas, all but a small portion and I still get work from them, just not early in the mornings, late morning up through late evening I get plenty of work for them, but after a certain time it stops and thats because the "global partners" are working those accounts too and at that point, they dont show up in DocQmanage anymore.

I know this because I do split shifts and these are super busy accounts and when I get on early in the morning, they are not showing in DocQmanage, but later on when I log in, they are there.

Like I said, we have an account and it is split. - It is not DocqScribe either.

[ In Reply To ..]
I know for a fact we see the work that needs to be done and it is sitting and waiting for India to do the work. The account is split in half by USA and India.

Besides, I do not use Docqscribe.

Yes - this

is true and very sad.

Ask to help out with the South - OT for the past few weeks

[ In Reply To ..]
I actually wouldn't mind NJA for a couple days.

Okay South is caught up - know how you feel

[ In Reply To ..]
I wouldn't mind a little NJA either (I guess I should be careful what I wish for.) But South is caught up now. The other regions still looking pretty busy.

Gave my notice last week. Just logged on this morning and am so excited to think this is my last Monday as an MT! Went shopping for clothes and shoes yesterday - sooooo ready to get back into the "real" world, working for a company that respects me & appreciates my skills, a place with a future, a company that observes paid holidays and is closed on weekends, a job with raises and bonuses -- I cannot wait! Thanks for letting me celebrate a little this morning :) ...

Just wondering if the TT MTs would like share ... how many lines do you average during the day/week? I'm doing about 9,000 to 10,000 a week and wonder if I should be pushing myself more. How much of your count is VR? I do probably 15% traditional and 85% VR but that, of course, varies week to week. ...

Jun 04, 2012

of course, most of the lines are VR but, I totaled my lines and the amount of $$ I made. Then I took the amount of straight typing lines I used to do and x by 8 cpl. I have more lines doing both straight and VR, BUT less pay. I averaged 1200/1300 lines per day working usually 6 hours (no set time schedule, just a mandatory "full-time" amount at old job). Last week, I missed 3 hours of work but did 7068 of a mix of ST and VR. Made almost 200 bucks les ...

:-) Was solicited ASR Proficiency training/mentoring if I had not already had it. Loudly and clearly, I let my TSM know that I had had it, and the mentor was not able to help me as she could see that I was not problem. I let her know full well that my LPH depends almost entirely on the ASR. ...

How many lines will you type in a week on average? I am typing anywhere from 10,000 to 20,000 lines a week. I spend my entire life typing, cooking and sleeping. I very rarely have to time to go anywhere or do anything. I was just wondering if everyone else who types at home has to type so much. I work seven days a week and never get a day off. I am just getting so tired and I think I need a break but if I do not do it, it just piles up and no one else helps out, so what's a girl ...

I quit my job due to health issues and my stress level has gone way down. I worked for 8 years here and it was okay. There were tough times, but it was mostly okay because my TSM/CCM left me alone but were accessible if needed. They answered my emails and phone calls (even though there were about 5 or so different ones through the years). It was just aggravating when good accounts would go to ASR. But, I don't have to worry anymore. Hope things get better ...

Gotta love the daily tips for reducing your QA submission. We can order books at a discount and have it payroll deducted. Cool! Let's see, I think I can do without electricity for a while.

if you make 4 cents per line at 1000 lines a day, they really calculate it at 500 lines per day x 4 cents, making it really 2 cents per line for the full 1000. I heard this, and I am really interested in knowing if it is true. ...

My main account was a good one, and the lines were very good, mostly ER work. I have been on this account for over a year and a half now. We recently received an e-mail stating that Nuance had discovered that the line count was charging incorrectly, as instituted by them, and they had been crediting us with MORE lines than we were actually doing and overcharging the client. Now get this, they informed us that they would not make US pay it back, for their mistake, but that our new lines would re ...

What do you do when you have the required hours but are short lines? I got an email that I need to "make plans to have my shortage made up." The only problem is that I'm up to date with my hours for the pay period so far. The other problem is that I have plans Saturday night and Sunday (both being my scheduled time off) that don't include TransTech. It's getting harder and harder to defend this company when they can't hold up their end of the agreement and continually ...

How many lines do you average per day - VR and traditional? I know it's been VERY slow lately, but when things are going well, how many lines do you normally get? I'm trying to figure out where the average numbers are. For me, I do about 350 trad and about 1400 VR in 8 hours. Well, my timesheet says 8 hours, but my clock says that number MAY(!) be a little higher. Again, these are numbers I pull when things are going well and I'm not waiting for work to download. I'v ...

To all you wonderful MTs working and slaving your lives away, Happy MT Week. I appreciate you. I appreciate your kindness when I have a rant or a rave, when I'm at my wits end with the constant changing around of clients, client profiles and the never ending dings being thrown at me. I appreciate knowing that I am not alone in this struggle. It is because of all of you, and only you MTs on this board that I manage to stay in this game. We are treated as less than second class citiz ...

Good grief. I did not change the way I edit. It so depends on how many commas they think you should have. Yes, I made an unusual (for me) mistake last week, but the rest of passing an audit is dumb luck of whether you get a realistic auditor or Ms English wannabe. Everybody must be under pressure because of the cesspool as I see a lot of mistakes when I look up past reports to help with these mush mouths and accents. The time czar wants schedule changes, but I see no problems with turna ...
