Wow, so I filed for unemployment......what a surprise....

I briefly looked over the website for unemployment in my state (Texas) and find it very confusing. Did you go to an office to do this? Also what info do I need to have available for filing? Believe me, I've been job hunting for 2+ years. I've had a couple of interviews but so far no hire. I'm almost to the point I would work in housekeeping just to get a steady job!!!!!! Thanks for any help you can give. ...

NJA! Yeah your TAT is looking great but your employee morale is even worse than it was. ...

So, has anybody been involved in a Medquist buyout, how did that work for you? My company just announced we are now a part of MQ, but don't worry, everything will stay basically the same. Somehow, I doubt it! Did your job description change? Any info on your experience would be appreciated. If you want to stay confidential e-mail me if you want. Thanks! ...

Errors are up on all accounts (EVEN with people who NEVER make a lot of errors) and they just do not know why. They now have the lowest quality of their company's life. AND they don't know why this is happening. These people do not have a clue. They are so out of touch with their people; they are just astounded by it. Why then did it NOT surprise me at all? Of course their solution to it is: Just stop doing that. ...

SoftScript is looking for mentors/teachers trainers and Q coordinators again. Don't fall for these positions, as this is how they lure you in to be an MT. Please read recent posts regarding SoftScript (Soft Bait and Switch Script) on how their job listings are misleading. ...

seems strange as we were actually backed up this weekend, no way we could have wiped all that out without some "help" if ya know what I mean. Unfortunately, you prob do. For all those whose accounts go overseas....how did it happen? Did you just try to sign in and got NJA and then never got work again from that account? Or is it a slower process? I was wondering when my turn was.......at least thanks to this board I'm prepared........ And thankfully I'm in CA. ...

After over 2-1/2 years with SGS and being named employee of the month in September, SGS terminated me today. When I asked why, I was told only "we are making some tough decisions". What a disloyal unprofessional bunch. ...

This really sucks...End of pay period and out of work with SoftScript! I have no choice but to look for something else while keeping them as something part-time or whenever, that is if I am even able to get 20 hours with them in a week! So frustrated because this isn't going to pay my bills! : *( ...

I just received a score on my Allied Med School Final exam of 84%, which really surprises me as I have been scoring upwards of 95 on the assignments and felt really good about these 5 transcriptions. From your experiences, what are my chances of ever being able to find a job with an 84 on my certificate? Trying to decide whether to try the second attempt or not - worried that my grade on it would be even lower... ...

Nice to see I got the quarterly bonus this morning when I checked my bank balance. Definitely came at a good time. Really didn't think I would qualify but glad I did. Makes me actually want to work today!! ...

Is it just me or is their website kind of a maze? They want to know what my eligibility benefit is, but how can I find that? ...

from doing editing work? I have been doing this now for about 3 years, and recently after about 2 hours into my work days I have started getting shooting pains in my hands and arms. I don't think it is CTS because the pains are only when I am actually keyboarding. (Then again maybe it is psychosomatic because I hate this job so much! ) Thanks. ...

My TSM is RW. Just WONDERING if anyone else in her region has filed? TIA ...

Gonna lose the car. Thank God I work at home, but it still sucks. ...

I was just looking through the Human Resources page and can't find anything about WC. Just curious if anyone has filed for it and any clue on who to talk to about it? TIA ...

I have carpal tunnel. Is it possible to file a WC case at MModal for this? Who would I speak to in Human Resources. Spent a bit of time looking at MQCentral (or whatever it's called) and got dizzy, but couldn't find an answer. TIA ...

I would love to hear your experience. Did they fight it? Did they let you come back to your same BOB and shift? Did you have to pay your entire health insurance premium during that time? Can you collect short-term disability and workers' comp simultaneously? Any info at all appreciated. I've been at MM 15 years and now have CTS, RSI, and epicondylitis, not to mention rapid vision loss from staring at the monitor all day, hearing loss from having t ...

Just curious to those who have been in this profession awhile and have become hurt as a result, have you filed and won or not won? I have battled pain about eight years now and have hit a wall, can no longer work. My hands and wrists swell up, I have twitches in all fingers, I drop things, cannot grip or open things, cannot write, wear splints, driving hurts. Just wondering other's experience with this. I have about 20 years until retirement so I need to keep working ...

First tech wanted to go over with me how to actually do it. I told Sanjeep no thanks I already took the tutorial, I know how to do it, I was just filing a complaint that the new spellcheck is time consuming and redundant and costing me money. Why must I hit spell check minimum of 2 times for each report and why must it stop on every mandatory heading with no way to bypass them? Why does it spellcheck the entire report twice when you try to split a job? Why did they decide to use Shift-Alt fo ...

I have grown tired of looking for a job, and it just so happens I turn 62 next month, so I'm out of the MT market. Goodbye to you MTSOs who play games with hard working people trying to put food on the table. It's gonna catch up with you and as they say, "Jimmy Crack Corn and....." I pray you MTs who are younger will find jobs or get out of this dying field. It has really changed in the last 15 years, but radically changed in the last 2. Goodbye.&nbs ...

I got caught up in the ARM back in 2004 and 2005 and when it was time for my mortgage to adjust, the rates were higher, and my payment jumped to almost 900.00 dollars a month, and while that may sound low to some, how about at the same time, regular transcription went to VR, and companies started outsourcing, and my transcription pay went from about 45,000 a year to 29,000 to 30,000. I finally found a stable MT position at a local hospital, at almost 17.00 an hour, and while it is a good s ...

Anyone who works for Transcend now or in the last three years needs to check this out. This is the real deal. For all of us who haven't made minimum wage or were refused overtime pay, you may be able to get in on this. ...

Well, it's done folks! A couple of VERY brave ladies have filed a class action suit for make up to minimum and OT issues against Transcend. If anyone is interested in getting their own going against some other MTSO's, well, it's time to be heard. We're not going to take it anymore! If you would like info on the attorneys who filed this suit, please feel free to email me. A very proud day indeed! ...

I was wondering if anyone had successfully filed a claim with the Department of Labor regarding unpaid time waiting for jobs or being "engaged to wait." ...

filing for underemployment due to pay cuts or lack of work wondering....were you harassed by your employer afterwards? Please do not name companies as I don't want to put anyone on the spot here. Just asking as I am looking into this to file for my state and wondering how employers react to this. Thanks a bunch. ...

Wondering....was forced to change from statutory employee to IC status with federal ID number instead of SS# when MDI-MD was rolled into Transcend. Now, Transcend informs that they are NOT going to be employing ICs after Jan 1, 2011. Would like to apply for unemployment, but am being told by a number of people that is not do-able because wages were paid under Federal ID #, not to my social and I signed an IC contract (under great duress, I might add!) Anybody have experience with this, ca ...

Has anyone applied for unemployment when you have run out of work? Just wondering, you can - even if you have work on and off, but not enough, depending on what your state requirements are. I can no longer survive like this anymore, work then no work - I have only made 100.00 in a week and a half. Anyone in this occupation should be able to be retrained through EDD as this job is disappearing and we are being taken advantage of ....... Just won ...
