I am working now. We don't lose the account

Posted By: May be out of a job? on 2009-04-14
In Reply to: A big MTSO generally doesn't lay off. - Renee

for another month. I also have back up accounts, so I am hoping that I can work on some of those until I get a new primary, but I know they won't provide me the 40 hours of work I need to get by. I figured I would wait until that time to start bugging my supervisor for another account. I would rather not be too pushy. Afraid that will make things worse instead of better.

Think of it this way, if they do lose the account, you lose your job. Just do your part and be a te

How could they lose an account?!
Too many goodbye e-mails for my liking, too. Makes me just a bit nervous to see Indians leave an Indian-dominated company.

Worse yet is the idea that they LOST a client! How on EARTH could something like that happen?

Use your company medical, dental, and eyecare benefits, people--you don't know what tomorrow could bring.
It unfortunately will be personal when they lose the account. sm
Is there any way to trace where accounts go?
They didn't lose the account, only one of the

work types, which granted was a large percentage of that account.  There was a conference call this week and the other half of the company has signed some very large contracts and will continue to cover the MT side of things for now. 


 


You work extra or you lose the account!!!!
I for one know I do not want to lose the account, it sounds like you do not care, or maybe I just misread what you meant.
Haysee, What happened to the account? Did the company lose it
or did they go back to bringing it all in house to the hospita?
Get ready to lose that backup account when there is no work on it....
They are doing more hiring and they always overhire...
So SE lose their SE bonus, lose the ability to work as much or little as they want and just
basically lose all around with no gain that I can see. Well, good for MQ. I am sure a lot of people will be moving on.
me three! that company is a lose-lose situation if you want
.
what account were you working on? sm

What account were you working on?  They let all of the QAs and a few MTs go on this particular account.  I believe they lost this account.


Account I was working on
What amazes me is that they never got back to me. I e-mailed them and they told me work was very slow this week and they hope things start picking back up. Yes, I think the account I was working on went away, but why did they not tell me. I can still log on to the system.
Yep!!! We're working on the same account.
I'll email you..
I think we are working for the same company on the same account.
I have a pillow-talking female dictator on my secondary account as well. Little to no work on my primary. It took 40 minutes to transcribe 36 lines with 16 blanks. E-mail me if you want.
question for those working on the old QT account
Are you still able to make the lines you did when you worked at QT at the Web. Friend of mine is having a hard time and she was a top producer.
I have been trying to be patient but have been working on my secondary account so much lately, I am
starting to think it's my primary. Been in the business a long time and understand slow times, but this has been a chronic problem for many months, so I understand poster's point of view. Stick it out if you can, if not, there are lots of other companies out there, but remember, the grass is always greener on the other side and you may be sorry you jumped ship. Hopefully you can find somewhere that will make you happy and feel appreciated.
Anyone working on the new cardiology account for Archivus out of NC?
Looking for info on platform used, percentage of ESLs, number of docs, if there are templates/headers/footers?
Spheris has Indian MTs working on every account. This should

working that account and it is great! So far I have no complaints. nm

No, if the account you are working wants it to stay stateside,
it will stay stateside. Period. I got this straight from a Transcend regional manager a couple of weeks ago. It is up to the CLIENT whether to allow the work to go offshore or not. It is NOT up to Transcend.
Anyone working on cardiology account for Superior Global out of TX?

Has any worked for QT Medical for radiology? They got an account that I was working sm

on for another company and I want to apply, but cannot find anything about them.  I am currently with Peachtree and am tired of being an IC and I need steady work.  Can you give me any good, bad or other information?  TIA



The account I am working has a normal amount of ESLs but nothing awful.
I think anywhere you work these days you're going to get some but I have just had the usual amount here.
Wait to talk to the recruiter. If the account you are working on requires a C-phone, sm

they will loan you one if they have one available.  No sense in spending extra money if you do not have to do so.  :-)


Good luck !  I love it at Keystrokes.  I have only been there about 4-5 months,but my experience has been a good one.  I think you will like it. 



no exp with this, but what have you got to lose?
x
I think its use it or lose it. (sm)
Can't carry it over year to year.  I think if you don't use what you have earned before your termination day you lose it, most calculate what they have and take it in lieu of working their last day or 2.  I would call them directly on the telephone and ask though.  Forget the email, talk to a real person with the answer in the HR dept.
Use it or Lose it?
How can this be? If you are leaving the company, then you evidently cannot use it. There is ridiculous.
Well, you'd lose that bet... :)
Re: I'm betting, though, that you just want stay on these boards to stir the pot and whine.

Sorry, you'd lose that bet, but thanks for that useful information anyway.

Curious: Why are you judging me so harshly? My post was to see WHO would step up to helping RESEARCH the possibilities...



Let's not lose this
http://forum.mtstars.com/company/v/1/70000.html
Did you lose this job from the

good company because they expected you to work?  To look at it as a real job?


When people who work at home only work when they feel like it, it reflects on the rest of us.  Maybe that contributes to the our salaries going down and being offshored.  We don't look like we need or want to work. 


Thanks for the contribution to our demise.


 


You'd lose that bet
because if MY company sold for 16.7 million, I absolutely WOULD have given all 450 people a decent bonus. (The world is full of stingy people, but I am not one of them).

I can tell you the news of the merger would have gone over MUCH better had she shared her good fortune with the folks who helped her acquire it.

So its nice for you to come to this person's defense but I don't believe she didn't CLEAR enough to share.
Because they will lose more experienced MTs...
And they need to ensure that they have enough people to handle the accounts.  If they bait the newbies with the good $ now, then they can put them on editing and cut the pay later but will have a large enough work force to handle the work.  That is the reason for the lack of work right now.  They have overhired in anticipation of the mass exodus that is currently happening and will continue to happen over the next couple of months.  The newbies will be brainwashed with the good pay into believing that Transcend is the best thing since bubble gum and will try to make it work because, as you may know, when you are a newbie, you are happy to get that first good MT job and are more willing to put up with the BS while they work the kinks out of the system, etc., whereas seasoned MTs aren't going to put up with that crap.
lose our jobs?
But, that is what we are already doing. I say UNITE - Now! Is it so difficult to see where this is all going? It is all aimed offshore - bit by bit. The only way we will survive is to get together and make them listen by STRIKING. We are being used, abused, and discarded. They are smiling all the way to the bank. What fools we are.

Be aware. There are company shills and spies on this and every board out there - be careful -
this is true and I don't want to lose a/c's..nm

until you lose your job to offshoring sm
your colors will change then.

What a rude comment for you to make at an emotional time.
and they lose them every month.
My supervisor was horrible. Ms. Tomato, we called her.
They may, but they'll just lose them due to the same
quality issues that caused QT to lose the main account in the first place.  The only thing is QT was still supposed to QA the work so once again management let us down.  
No you will lose your benefits
I just quit WMX a few weeks ago, but worked there almost 3 years. You do not lose your benefits if you can't make your hours because of lack of work availability. However, you COULD lose them if you don't work your scheduled hours and don't account for them with PTO or non-paid time off, per your supervisor.
If you are afraid you will lose your job.....

Then go find something different to do.  It's not difficult.  But do not claim that this is a national security issue when it is not.


Snooze, you lose.
.
I'm with ya, too. If MTIA causes me to lose
I'll just have all that extra time (while collecting Unemployment, of course) to help you push them over the cliff, too. And the last thing those self-righteous biddies in AHDI/MTIA want is to tick me off. Notta good idea.
my experience lately is they do anything to get, then everything to lose you.
Like we are not going to find out the lies in the first week. What a job. I had management trying to explain to me something they wanted to do for me, but benefited them. I actually laughed in the person's face. What an insult to our intelligence to bold face lie and then expect us to be dewey eyed and say yes, more, more, I love abuse.
Oh, my God, they should lose their licence.nm

Sorry to hear, how much did you lose?

MQPT lose bonus

As a PT MQ MT, I work Mon thru Fri for 3 hours each night, and all day on Sat and Sun, ( assuming there is work)--because of the new incentive, I have now lost the ability to get the bonus for doing over 10000 lines in a pay period


What would happen if I put on the schedule that I am going to work every night except Wed, but then I find out that I have time that night--can I still type or do you need to stick to the written schedule


Also, this year Christmas is on a Sunday, does that mean I am committed to an 8 hour day? 


 


at least you didn't lose your job offshore
guess its about time to learn new skills.
So whata do, turn them in and lose
your job? I am supposedly dependent and yet have set hours I am supposed to work and only if asked to work overtime is that varied from. I really love my job and do not mind the hours but was asked to let them know at first which hours I could work and would be working.
make that, I would not lose any sleep over this co.

LOL! Spheris is also cool if I lose DSL and they

She is afraid she is going to lose her job. All of us feel

can cash it but if bounces you lose

and may have to pay a bank penalty$.  I think it can take 2 weeks to clear. I guess they don't have direct deposit? Ask.  Google direct deposit procedures.  They give info on how this goes about.  If you do get the check Friday, call and ask if there are funds to cover it as you just cannot afford to pay for a bounced check.


I guess you could take them to labor board of your state.  Guess you could take to small claims court for your state.  Can google all this stuff.


My 401K with Spheris did not lose value.
I was placed in Wells Fargo Safe Funds by the management company.

Though, when the market fell, I stopped contributing. I cannot see the point in contributing now since I struggle to pay the bills. God help me in 15-20 years though.
