out of work on a Saturday - this has never happened

Posted: Jul 06, 2013

and don't tell me it's just because it's summer or the holiday. I've worked here long enough to know. There used to be work during the day shift and now there's not. They didn't hire more people on my team, so where did the work go ? (india) And I have never ever run out on a Saturday so where did the work go ?(india)

probably everybody is making up time from the fourth - x

Yep. There goes my shift. The weekend workers are the forgotten workers. - dnr

I see emails that weekday people can make up time during the weekend - as if there is no one working!

doG help me if I try to make up time during the week. The answer is no 99% of the time.

Really angers me. Working here has become dog-eat-dog slavery.

I work weekends too, - and if there is no work

especially if idiot TSM told everyone to grab lines on the weekend, then I get on and work whenever during the week to get what I need, no permission asked. They have turned us into animals, and I am an animal who will survive!

making up hours - MT

We were told you have to get permission to work to make up hours...would hope if there is no work for those already scheduled they wouldn't allow others to make up time and take work away...but then it wouldn't surprise me either.

making up hours - Sad MT

Emails have gone out ad naseum telling MTs to check to make sure they can go in and make up their lines without go into other's scheduled hours and taking their work. My primary accounts have been bone dry or close to it when I start for months now. The MTs who aren't scheduled on my shift ARE going in and cleaning them out anyway. How they are getting away with this, I don't know. My guess is there aren't AMs on when they are doing this and if they are they aren't looking,or they just really don't care.

Strategic Accounts-anyone in this region with much work? Just curious. I am wondering when the work actually flows in, released, if there is such a thing happening. I think I would be willing to work a different shift if there was work later in day. I do not see a pattern. ...

they just lay me off? I was bought out 2 months ago and still working on my accounts (2), not on MQ's platform yet, actuallly nothing really has changed except no work. Do you think they are being sent overseas? I just don't get it. I don't even know if MQ is to blame for this. Who knows. All I know is that this is not fun. ...

Not sure what is going on in the North this morning, but I've had work for 4 hours now and still work on the system. Very unusual for my accounts on a Saturday. ...

leaving a great party early on Friday night becuase I have to work very early Saturday morning, drag myself out of bed, drink coffee to wake up, begin work only to run out after earning about $30!! I really feel like a fool. This would not be so bad if we did not have such strict schedules, although who is actually working their schedules anymore? Seems as if MModal has its cake and eats it too. ...

I quit Nuance on Saturday and today have received 2 offers for employment elsewhere. One is in the transcription field and the second is something completely different. Think I will go with the new field. I need a change. There are plenty of minimum wage or a little better paying jobs out there in transcription though if one wants to stay with that type work. You don't have to stick with Nuance for fear of not finding other work. ...

OOW--my TMS quit--no new TSM yet. I liked her--sorry she left. I have 3 accounts and not ONE job this morning--so why do I have to work Saturday mornings againg??? I am sooooo glad I supplement my income by watching children in my home. That is the only way I can survive. I also have so many other things I could be doing this morning--but no, I sit and wait for work... Just killing time, typing this post, bored to death. I am going to pick my daughter up f ...

Always work Saturday morning, rarely have NJA but beginning to think it's going to be a regular thing now. This is my 3rd NJA this week. I feel sorry for those that get NJA every day. I can feel it creeping up on me slowly. I hope those of you who have NJA have applied for unemployment. I did, back in February, and during these slow times it does help, even if it's just a little bit. I AM looking for another job, but not in transcription, but I live in Michigan and it's hard ...

I already work weekends. They say it is for TAT. Work is already thin on weekends. This is not fair to the people who were hired for M-F. Sat or Sun schedules was the reason I turned down Spheris a long time ago. I only work weekends now because I have been going to school to get out of this MT rat hole. ...

Working in the helper pool and even that ran dry. I need to make up some hours from last week, don't know if I'll even be able to do that this weekend! Wish they would just go ahead and lay us off so we can get TAA. This is getting old. ...

When I tried to sign back on at 9 p.m. PST (midnight EST), I could not get in, and the DEP light was red. I thought I saw a message on DEP that it was down for maintenance, but I just found the schedule they sent us sometime back, and next weekend is what is scheduled. Was the system down? -- Or were they in fact doing maintenance? ...

Why do all the companies have you working every weekend either saturday or sunday? I would much rather work both sat and sun every other weekend than be tied up every weekend. Just wondering if anyone knows the reasoning for that. ...

on top of the weekend differential, or just the regular 1 cpl for weekend? It would be nice to make $5 instead of $2 for the 2 reports that will probably come my way that day ..LOL ...
