Plenty of work? - Scared MT

Posted: Sep 30, 2012

I will be starting second shift, Sunday through Thursday, with Nuance. I have not given notice yet to the company that I am currently working for because I'm thinking of hanging onto them in case there is a shortage of work with Nuance. Anybody else work this shift? How is the workflow? I've read a lot about people not being able to meet the full-time requirements to receive benefits because there simply is no work. Is this true? I'm a single mom of three with no child support to help me make ends meet, so you can imagine why this is stressing me out a little bit...

I would say it depends on which account, which platform, etc. I work on accounts that are sometimes empty and sometimes looking for all of the extra help they can get. I would say until you are comfortable and you know how its going to work out for you, keep your other company too. That way, if you realize it will work or won't, you won't be in a bad situation.

So here is a blindly obvious question. With all of the job ads on this site, who is getting hired? Are they actually real jobs that are being posted by "real" people who actually need MT work done? Are any of you applying and getting these jobs. I have found that there is NEVER a shortage of MT jobs to apply for. There are ALWAYS ads on several sites soliciting the help of both experienced and newer MT's. As many MT's that are on this site I think I would here a few more success s ...

Today I have had plenty of work without having to jump around all over the place. I enjoy working at MModal. They have been good to me and I have been fortunate to have supervisors who will work with me and I can work with them. I feel very fortunate to have a job right now when so many others are out of work and cannot find them. In the last 6 months, I have only had 1 day when there were no jobs available. Within a couple of hours, my supervisor called and asked me to work on an acc ...

I have an interview with TTS tomorrow. Can anyone who currently works there tell me if they have issues with running out of work at this company? Thanks in advance! ...

They have taken on a couple dozen new accounts this year. They are a huge company and use Escription and Dictaphone Extext. They are owned by Dictaphone so rest assured they will have work when other companies are running out. The team leads are in America now, not in India. I would rather work for them and know I will get my lines and get paid than to make zero on another job because I'm pouting about working for a company that sends work to India. Just a FYI. ...

there is a LOT of work there and encouraging us to transfer there from Beyond Text. I'm not sure if I believe this though. How is the early morning workload generally? TIA for any info. ...

I average about 400-500 lines a shift (full time), so I guess if you can live on $36-45 a day, they are not lying. ...

At least most of the time? Thinking of changing status, but don't want to get into a no-work situation. FT work available is already much less than used to be before Transcend buyout. ...

I was hired and told there was plenty of work. I could get all the pages I wanted. I am seeing a patten of only 1-2 days a week where I get work and the other days it just trinkles in. Is the the normal pattern for the work flow?? If so, I may have to swim out of this stream real fast. Any info you would be willing to share with me would be appreciated. I left my last job because of low work volume but was getting more than this. I came to Silent Type because I was promised pl ...

I am so tired of trying to find that "perfect" fit for a company to work for. Good companies are so few and far between and I just want to finally find a fair place. It seems like the only companies left are MModal and Nuance and I wouldn't work for them for anything. So, before I apply for Synernet, how are things there? Thanks :) ...

Did y'all get the work status e-mail this morning? At the end it says, "as you can see, there is plenty of work available." How insulting. I have had no work for a very long time and this morning is no different. Who else doesn't have work this morning? Do ever wonder if work is being limited to those who have been there a long time and our CPL is higher than the new people they're hiring for those pathetic line rates? I think they want us long-timers to quit. ...
