no fight left in me - just wanting


Posted: Jul 13, 2010

to log off and hang it up.  I feel so drained of life after only 12 years in this profession.

you are not alone - by any means

that same thought crosses my mind about 1/2 hour into each shift, and not just this job, at my second job also.

I have no clue what else to do...

I am thinking of going to the doctor to get some type of depression/anxiety medication because I feel so overwhelmed. It really is too much at this point.

I feel it too plus - anon

My husband got laid off from his job yesterday with no warning. Just makes me sick at my stomach.

oh gosh... - I am so sorry

I am praying that he will find a job ASAP. Keep your spirits up and stay positive!

HOW TO FIGHT SR REPORTS
Feb 07, 2012

We should all just send SR reports through "as is"--- then the hospitals (who really pay the bills, etc.) would see what they are getting by agreeing to SR reports.  So will the "big shots" who think it takes so much less time to complete these reports. ...

TWITTER USED IN FIGHT AGAINST OUTSOURCING
Feb 06, 2011

You want to get your opinions about this travesty out use Twitter to do it.  I've seen several tweets in the last couple of months directed at the AMA about stuff like this. It certainly can't hurt to be heard given that they are followed by 80,000 people, right?  Pointing out the deficiencies & danger in outsourced work, identifying who the guilty parties are (Q among others), and why it's a reprehensible practice certainly couldn't do anything at this point bu ...


Start Letting Our Schools Fight For Us!!
Aug 22, 2010

I just sent an email to the school I graduated from (Career Step).  I told them (they probably already know) HOW BAD IT HAS GOTTEN - replaced by cheaper East Indian so-called transcriptionists, no work, no benefits - give me a break!  Hopefully they have enough pull (and connections) to stand up for us, otherwise, they will be out of business soon too!  Let's stand up and fight.  WE ARE NOT TRAINED MONKEYS.  We have all studied and worked too hard for this to h ...

Anyone Have Good Tips To Fight The Drowsies While Working?
Jun 24, 2014

I've had a hard time the past few months with getting drowsy after sitting and working for even an hour.  I don't have sleep apnea and do get plenty of sleep at night, so I know that's not the problem.   I've tried coffee, tea, diet pop, chewing gum, lots of water, etc.  I usually end up resorting to a crunchy snack, which is not the best idea.  Anyone have any tricks up their sleeve for staying alert?  Thanks in advance! ...

Are There Any Left?
Jun 04, 2014

Are there any companies left that either transfer files by FTP or similar and leave you alone to do your work as long as it is in TAT?  I work at home due to my anxiety.  Have a position with a company that is trying to start some kind of group thing where you have someone hovering over you while you work or you are supposed to be the hoverer for someone else, which might be okay for some people who like working with others.  I have never been able to work well with people.   ...

Just How Many Tier 3s ARE Left?
Mar 02, 2010

I hit the ceiling last week and quit after 12 years with MQ part-time. I started as a tier 3 and ended as a tier 3.  Topped out.  I was making close to $20/hr and ended at $10/hr thanks to ASR.  My submission rate was apparently too high for them for Jan and Feb.  Well, what do they expect?  Shyte dictation equals shyte transcription, but I'll be damned if I am going to risk someone's life just to fill in a blank, and this was before they rolled out this "First ...

I'm just curious is all.  I've been reading for months a lot of posts of people who are unhappy, their going to leave, telll their bosses off, they deserve more, etc, etc.  It's literally been going on months.  I have a job I like, it pays lower than all the people here say they get paid, but I like it.  There are times we run out of work, but I make due (and I'm a one income family, so is distressing sometimes), but  I like my doctors and my supervis ...

I Left WMX, And I'm Glad...
Sep 25, 2010

So... I worked for WMX for 3 years (after MQ for 7), then I left to work for the local school system for a year and a half. I got laid off due to state budget cuts. My former manager from WMX took me back but said I had to work third shift -- maybe not permanently -- no promises. I worked my *#% off for 6 months, almost to the day. It wrecked my sleep patterns, my personal life, everything... but I needed the money and benefits, so I did it. Finally, my account went through the ISR conversi ...


How Are The QA Audits Going At TT? Who's Left?
Oct 22, 2010

Since September, they've been looking for a total of 76 MTs. Are the audits over for another month or so and how many are gone over those audits?  Any long term TTers left? I haven't seen anything posted on this board since the beginning of October. I remember when someone was sued over a post and was wondering who won that case? Is TT still a good place to work?

I have only returned to this board today after 3 years and the complaints are all just the same as they were 3 years ago - some of the same companies (they will never change), some new companies that are probably old companies that changed their name because they could no longer get people to apply for their positions.

Anyone Left And Come Back

Has anyone ever left MModal or Medquist and returned?  I left on good terms and gave my 2 week notice and worked it.  I know, I know why do I want to come back?  Well, I was hired at a job and its just not working out.  I know MModal had its issues, but they are the only place I've worked for since I started transcription. Yes, I intend to get out of this profession.  But for right now I need something coming in while looking to get back into school. TIA ...
