My big beef (sm)

...is when people like that are *not* dropping like flies, but getting promoted and making more money than someone who trains them and can handle any work thrown at her (i.e., me).  All because they have more years they can put on a resume.

That's why I'm so glad I'm not at a hospital anymore and am happy as a clam to be at a national service.

you obviously have a beef, but that
was not the original post -- it was said they 'never overhire'. Even if she did say that, no problem with an absolute there.
I am thoroughly unhappy too and here is my beef sm
I echo everything you have said! You are on target (typos or no).

SOmething happened at TT in March of this year, dunno what, but something slipped out of sync all right. Since then, I can't make 1500 lines, which I need, in anything less than 10 hours, no matter how much I try to do. My shift is 8 to 4 days, but I have been working 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. trying to get work. I am sorry, but duplex scans are NOT worth my time and that seems like all I get. One of the leads was kind enough to take care of me and assign work all afternoon and evening and I was doing better, till they told her not to. Now I am back to slim pickins and it doesn't matter when I am on there trying to work.

Flexing ASSumes we having any down time at all, which most of us are not. I don't call working 7 to 11 flexing, I call it slave labor and I call it illegal. I mean, their base rate is pretty poor, but if you can make numbers you can do much better. There is no longer a way for you to get those numbers!!!! Not anymore.

My old company that I quit to go to TT asked me back in the last month. They are willing to work with me to do whatever hours and work types I want. So, it is some mornings for OPs and then late afternoons and evenings as much as I can, and weekends, but I don't have to work all of every weekend, only if the work mounts up over a certain level. Heavy ESL account, but 10 cpl IC. Almost work as much or when I want to.

Today, I put out a resume and something happened with mtstars...the posting I saw was not connected to the right email, but it is a happy accident. I got a call to do ER work with a ton of templates at 8 cpl and I can set any schedule I want, but she would like weekend coverage, and I can have 2 days off during the week. I said I liked certain work types and she said she had the capacity to find that work for me, if I wanted it.

It does mean going back to working 7 days a week, which I am not sure I want, not exactly. Then again, I'll probably be working less in the end for more money. My days off with TT means I have 2 whole days to catch my lines around my life, not the other way around.

The account status emails are driving me up a wall.
What's the beef with Accustat-Carolinas?
I have been given the preliminary congratulations by this company. Can you kindly give feedbacks on this. I think they are aggressively hiring.Are they nice to work with? Are the dictations ok or difficult? What is the pay? Do they pay on time? Your replies are much appreciated. Thank you! =)
You're so right. That was my beef with a poster
the other day on the main board, where she claims she is an IC but asking about her hours and if she really had to work holidays, etc. The MTs who don't know what an IC is are the ones who are setting the scenario for this horrific change in our industry - IC is an IC. You're absolutely right - if the doctors set the hours and schedule and we follow blindly along, there is no difference - we are employees and the only ones benefiting are the doctors who don't have to do anything but toss a check our way, when they feel like it to boot.
what is UR beef? They have been honest for over 2 years!
