Which I always forget about, but then usually there is still no work later on anyway.

It depends on my mood for the day--sm - anon

As soon as I am OOW, I change webclock to the OOW setting and wait 15 minutes. Most of the time I hear something within that time. If not, sometimes I check back in and sometimes I do not. If it is early in the week, I may try to make the time up and I may not. It often comes down to my PTO balance is.

PTO balance? Employee handbook says you - sm

do not need to use PTO under these circumstances. Check it out. I make up no time at all. I don't have work, even when I have repeatedly asked for additional accounts which are not forthcoming, I say, the heck with them, and I do something else. I may need the money, but I don't need this nonsense. I am carefully noting everything, send it to my personal email (including IMS and emails), so when I file for unemployment or underemployment, I have a reason to telling this low life company adios. My life does not revolve around Nuance, although they want it to. My life revolves around a healthy balance.

You're lucky that your TSM allows you to use OOW within Webclock. Mine does not. How the heck can there be any trail of why you are not working if you cannot select OOW when YOU HAVE NO WORK?????????????? I'll tell you why, Nuance wants no trail. But, I've got one. I would suggest you do the same.

I say PTO balance because I need money on the paycheck--sm - anon

We can use OOW for 15 minutes. After that, if I do not make up the time, I choose PTO so that I can have my paycheck within range of what I need. I rarely use my PTO for other things so this is what works for me.

sounds like you are on my account. repeatedly OOW and no sec acct reply.SM - outtaheresoon

OOW most of the time, no matter when I sign on. never a reply from TSM unless SHE wants something. Not making enough to live on even after informing TSM and HR of that fact. Their jobs are secure. They don't care about ours.

Also if you are an employee and supposed - 1verytiredMT

to work say 9 to 5, if you are out of work, definitely!! put OOW on Webclock. By LAW if they do not have work for you in that time period they have to pay you minimum wage. Of course they want you to flex, better for them and then you have no life. Don't let them scare you into thinking you can't put OOW. However, what my region has done, we are now able to work on ALL ACCOUNTS so we can never say we are out. This is so many accounts, with so many specifics, you would never make any money. And that, my friends, is what they don't care about.

programmers with a note that their work is unacceptable! They can't even get easy dictation right after the doctor has been on ASR for a few years. Give us a Christmas present - pay good programmers to come fix it. We are most likely getting what they pay for. If they wouldn't do that and won't put our pay back up to at least 100% (really should be 120%), at least give us prepaid grocery cards. They should be ashamed at the quality of their work. It may ...

to an employee who is seeking input from peers regarding a work related situation? The email was obviously only sent to initimidate the employee. Nothing helpful or anything of that nature. Just a note to let them know they had been spotted on this thread. I think it's kind of creepy and not very professional, but then how would any of you feel? This was not a simple reply to a post, it was sent through the private email link on the post ...

I thought maybe they were referring to client satisfaction or employee satisfaction. They are referring to revenue size! So we are supposed to be impressed that Medquist or Mmodal or whoever we are today moved up 4 spots (by gobbling up smaller companies) while we haven't had a raise in years? With all that revenue they can't improve sound quality or pay the employees better? And do we really care the Nuance moved down a spot? No. Sometimes I j ...

So I betcha have to be an RMT or CMT to win! There will be 10 MT/MEE's. I am happy that MQ included Spheris employees and their group. That made me very happy, although I have been an MT with MQ for 20 years, I am just glad that Spheris will have their group included. It is just well. . . ethical for MQ to do the right thing by including them. I wonder if India is doing the same thing. ...

I need time to read over again because I find so many flaws with their logic I cannot believe HR put out a new policy with such a double standard. We are to be responsive or we can get fired but the supervisors can ignore phone calls and emails for weeks on end and that is okay? Not to mention our "new and improved" email system is anything but reliable. ...

Hello, I would like to transcribe from home again. However, I HAVE to get up and walk for a few minutes at least once an hour. You see, I had to have 2 back surgeries in the last 18 months. I've been a transcriptionist for many years and this is my profession. Does anyone have a suggestion what to tell these companies that will hire you to work from home when you have to get up so much? The last company I tried had a "pop-up" box that appeared on my screen if you were up longer than 10 min ...
