west region, I am constantly running out of - work more then ever in

Posted: Jan 20, 2012

past 6 years. This week am told mandatory to change a week day to weekend hours and still running out of work with email stating "can make up time on a specific weekend day" (saturday). Now am I one of the lucky ones they keep cutting off (NJA) SO AS to force working on weekend time slots (if you want to make up time which is your pay) which the CCM feels is the weak spots on the weekend. YET, they are hiring constantly and have not hired anyone for weekends. Am I the only one forced out of work, forced to change schedule to keep this job ?

either change it or file unemployment - no win situation

If you change it up and work one week on Saturday morning for 4 hours and the next week on Sunday evening for 4 hours, you will be accommodating their weekend schedule, AND you are not taking up your whole weekend.

Otherwise, just count on filing unemployment every time you run out of work on your shift and dont make up the hours. When they have to pay out unemployment, they might think about giving you more work, and if not, at least you will collect while you find something else.

I'm in the West, also, and told mandatory weekend hours (3 or 4) and to compensate off during the week. Have not run out of work, but told this change was necessary to "keep in TAT" over the weekends. This will be my first weekend on this new schedule. We will see what happens.

Is it just me, or has anyone noticed that their line count average is sucking really bad since we got all these new accounts and then the new and improved (yeah right) software update? And now its mandatory overtime (probably because we are struggling with the new accounts). Yeah, I need the overtime just to make what I used to make without overtime. ugggg. ...

Well, I am out of work. A LOT of MT's have been getting on in the evenings and cleaning out my primary and secondary. NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE until recently. Hmmm. Makes me now want to start popping on and work in the mornings. After all, I wanted to work days (not evenings) to begin with, but was forced to work evenings or look for another job. I really need to go back to school and do something else!!! Looks like this company started changing a lot ...

So strange to see dislikes on job seekers board for TTS. I think MTStars should charge for advertising so it doesn't get junked up by companies with huge turnover constantly advertising and leave space for independent companies with legit jobs and not revolving MT door jobs. ...

Does anybody else get emails of updated account specs or just in general about how this is now changing in the MT world and things such as hyphens are being phased out, among other changes to make the document "more readable". I wonder...all these changes to how we are supposed to do our jobs, yet the only changes to what we are paid to do our job is a negative with pays dropping instead of going up. I say it here and I can say it so many times, if somebody can sit in an office and c ...

So you want MTs to transcribe and edit VR who are skilled and experienced? You want someone to be a mind-reader with your ESL dictators with no help from QA? You want a reliable person who is going to work nights, weekends, and holidays for this pay? Here's your problem keeping a good MT. You pay 4 cpl for VR and 7 cpl to transcribe. At the same time, you expect nothing from your clients. They are allowed to tie up an MTs time with garbage to t ...

In the recent issue of For The Record magazine, 'MTs question compensation rates,' regarding the 13 MTs filing collective class action lawsuit against Transcend in May 2012...quote *Up until this point, as long as the MTs are willing to sit back and take whatever is given to them in terms of compensation and working conditions, then that's the way it's going to be. But now that a group of people have actually taken a stand and said, "We don't believe that this practice i ...

Constantly getting emails to work extra, but no more. I know it's extra money but is also increasing the likelihood that I could drop below 99.6%, especially when volunteering to do even more unfamiliar accounts. I have struggled to make the line count and have been productive managed for that and told to go faster. BUT I am now in a pool with I don't know how many accts and spend a good portion of my time reading and guessing about the client profile, and I ...

I took a job with another company thinking the grass was greener because the accounts were major and the work was there but the platform sucks and QA is picky as hell. I am a good MT and been doing this years, years in QA with taking MT jobs now because the QA jobs are not there. This is my sole income and I can't survive. I like the platform and steady checks at Keystrokes but the work just wasn't coming in, they wouldn't give me a secondary, and they continually hire ...

Nothing in our BOB, trying to help others, but work is low too. I just found out something too!!! I had a primary account for years and the account felt like family to me. Knew all the doctors. Yes, I was blessed to have this account. Then about a year ago, I was told this account was being done by their own doctors. (Cannot remember the exact name it is called). A lot of Providence Cinics and hospitals use it. When you go in for a clinic visit, a ...
