Nitpicking?
You must remember QA staff also works by a set of rules and we get dinged or in trouble if we miss something. Most accounts now go strictly by the BOS and heaven forbid we miss a semicolon. Remember we are NOT in charge, our job is to do what they tell us to do and find anything that is now incorrect and let you know so you don't repeat the error on a report sent directly to the client. If you haven't been on the phone with an irate client, it's not pleasant. It all rolls downhill, we are only trying to help. Sure you get bad apples in any job who let it go to their head, but by far we all work very hard and try to be very fair and correct.
Talk about nitpicking audits?!?!?!
I have 14 years' experience as an MT, plus I'm an EMT and wrote two books on first aid, so I know how to construct a sentence and spell.
I never ONCE got a 100% audit at OSi, whereas at another highly-respected MT company I got nothing but 100% audits. The QA folks are definitely too big for their britches! It was so ridiculous that I could just not continue to accept these ridiculous audits.
Time & skill is what MT has to offer. Not nitpicking

QA per-line pay? Guess that accounts for all the nitpicking...sm
If they have to make their lines, they'll nitpick you to death with their corrections du jour. And back and forth amongst them, if there's nothing there they'll find something there. 
Maybe, or maybe they realize this is an informal board. QUIT THE NITPICKING! nm

Exactly. Rarely have to do it, but like to know that I can if I have to.

No. Very rarely run out of work on my reg (sm)
If I do, like on a Monday morning, I do my #1 backup for an hour or so. Sometimes when backup #3 is behind, I help out on that. The others I have only done in a pinch, so I'm not as fast on those and very rarely do them; but at least I know I could if I wanted to.
Why would you never had to type an AB? I think they are rarely done in
an acute care setting, usually performed in a facility just for that purpose. I think maybe I have done one in 20 years, although I've done several D&Cs for botched ABs. I wouldn't type them on a regular basis, but not because of my religious values, because of my moral values.
I very rarely have a problem

Very rarely have I run out of work.
There are occasions when I don't feel like working in my backup accounts when that is all I am getting, but I have truly never run out of work completely.
I'm with you - it's very rarely "out of work" for me but (sm)
I've been in this business long enough to take advantage of those times. It never lasts very long. It's one of the best companies I have ever worked for, and the support staff is great. If there is a problem, it's taken care of quickly. Now with the line counting issues being taken care of too, I'm happy as a clam.
The archive search rarely works for me either.
I'd try browsing through some of the archives and scanning for it.
Spheris is a huge MTSO; how come it is rarely

I do ops for 3 services, but rarely get the heart stuff.

Don't you miss the correspondance though. I rarely hear
from them either, but it would be nice to have some contact from them even if just a how are things going. It isn't just them, I have found most companies are like that. After the first week or so and there are no issues with your work you just don't hear from them.
Have 3 primaries and then go into the pool rarely, but always have work sm
You get 20 different accounts every day? I feel for you. In the beginning of last year, I was doing as many as 15 accounts. Since at least November, I rarely go into the pool. Maybe you can switch accounts?
I very RARELY have any sound quality issues

I guess I must just be lucky with my account. I rarely run s/m
out of work, and if I do, it doesn't last more than 15 minutes or so. Holiday periods will bring longer periods of no work, but still not very long. I can usually take a break, eat, go outside for a few minutes. I love my accounts, too.
That being said, I do feel badly for those who have to deal with this. In the year or more that I have been with the company, I have run out of work maybe 10 times. My accounts have little turnover, and this may be why. I hope it gets better for those who are having this problem frequently. that must be very frustrating :-(
Clinic notes very rarely delve into
specifics like acute care does. There is a difference.
MQ charges $50/computer - $15/wave pedal - and rarely have
for you to make 12,000 a pay period.
Yeah, and I can bet that account used to be my primary because it rarely has work now!
nm
That's terrific. I rarely hear that a lone MT gets a hospital
account, so more power to ya!
Downside is that there's rarely a steady/even load of work everyday unless there's always a ba
