why do these places hire? - kymt


Posted: Mar 26, 2013

I was laid off from a hospital in November and our boss gave us the name of your company, saying we would be hired on the spot. Why do these places continue to hire if there is no work?

 

I think what they are doing.... - anony

When they get new accounts instead of putting the people who need work on them they go and hire more people to work on them.

In any case, I think they like to have more MTs than they need so their TAT is very fast. Only problem, MTs run out of work.

It is all about money. The new people work for less per line - pegge

It is all about the all mighty dollar. I am at the top of the pay scale and so if they can hire a newby to do the same work for less money..that is all they care about.

Makes sense... - anony

Even though I am a tier 3 MT, everyone has to start at 8 cpl. I got a whopping .0825 cpl, and the accts I'm working on should pay 10 cause they are awful. They are so bad they raised the QA allowance to 10% with NO financial penalty even if over 10% for these accts. These accts should be paying more for being so difficult.

You are right - kymt

It is really sad what this job has become. I feel like we are like those fish/ducks at the park that you put change in a machine for someone to feed them and they are all sitting there ready "just in case" someone throws them some food and it gets gobbled up really quick and then we starve. :(

Because they don't care about the MT - old and burned out

making a living; they only care about their TAT. They are also trying to get people who will work the odd hours for 8/4 rather than the experienced MT who earns more and wants to work during the day. In my case, I've been doing this over 40 years and am not going to work in the middle of the night for the pittance this company pays. They also continue to believe they can hire high-school drop-outs to do the work and do not give the experienced MT any credit for either knowledge or intelligence.

Why Don't The Big Companies Want To Hire

part-timers for weekend work anymore?  That's the way it was done for years, full-timers for M-F and part-timers for weekends, and it worked great because so many MTs are looking for extra weekend part-time work anyway.  It seems to be mostly the bigger corporations, as usual, changing things for the worse here.  Is it just the laziness of the HR & management people, not wanting to process part-timers?  I suspect a lot of the very-experienced MTs are working at small ...

I Really Don't Think It's Just To Continuously Hire MTs
Nov 26, 2012

as employees, yet the MTs are still on production instead of hourly, and the new hires never get any work to do.  If they do get any work, it's not enough to live on.  They want you to sit there until they have enough "extra" for you to do?? How is that right?  There must be some kind of fraud or something legally that I don't know about that can take these companies to task for doing this to people.  I'm tired of being treated this way, starving all the way t ...

Any Companies Hire M-F?

I know this is an extreme long-shot, but I'm wondering if there are any good MT companies out there that hire M-F and pay a fair line rate (for the way things are today anyway). It doesn't matter to me whether I work employee or IC. I just left Nuance a couple months ago and am working general transcription on my own schedule right now, but it's way too strenuous for the pay rate and the work is sporadic. I've got to figure out my next move, but I hate to go back to working e ...

For me, this is an ideal situation as I am at my most productive when I work a couple of hours and then do something else for awhile. There are so many MTSOs who take advantage of the MTs any way they can, and that makes me even more grateful for the ones who "do ...
