Wow, almost the entire western region is wiped out of work - anon


Posted: Dec 02, 2013

I have a feeling it's going to be a crazy week trying to get our lines/income in ... there's practically no work in the entire western region.  Even my backups to the secondary backup secondaries are wiped out. 

Western region - me too

I noticed a change in the quality of dictations I'm getting, dictators I've not had before, and today still another hospital I've not had before in the middle of a cow town.

It's probably because your regular accounts were wiped out - anon

The western region went the first part of today with almost no work but things seem to be picking up now. If you got a cow town hospital you might've been grabbing whatever was left of the work today.

It's crazy that almost every hospital in the ENTIRE western region could've been so low on work. It was Thanksgiving weekend ... what, *nobody* gets sick or hurt over Thanksgiving? I don't get it.

On your average day, 5000! Now, 70. I get that its a holiday, but I have run out for 3 weeks now. TSM said they over-hired and work went to India.. well, then get rid of the new hires already. This is ridiculous. Why would they hire more when they planned to ship more work overseas? Is this to train the new hires becuase they make so much less than some of us who have been here awhile? At this point, I dont believe there will be pay cuts, I think they will just starve out the ones making a high ...

I checked the work load last night before bed to see if I would have much to do this morning.  There was a TON ... as in, every account in the western region looked backed up, not just my accounts.  I checked 5 minutes ago and there are less than 20 facilities with work.  I've noticed this exact same thing on other holidays too.  I honestly don't think the global employees could've knocked out that much work overnight.  I doubt it seriously.  What I ...

It really hurts the line count bad.

Also, lack of punctation is hurting a lot too. I can't wait until I get out of here. Just 8 more months and counting! ...
