Transtech has 2 huge hem/onc accts
NM.
How would we know that they lost a huge account? sm
They never communicate with their MTs. 
They lost the huge TN disability sm

account to the Philippines.  Guess TN wanted cheap labor.  I won't be surprised if ALL of the accounts go there.


I am so glad I quit working there!!!


They lost a huge account in Alabama
to work it.  It was probably one of their biggest accounts and they didn't keep it long.  Beware.
Huge turnover at OSi. They have lost most of their good employees and are
Me thinks this nutcase is asking and answering questions here hoping to get people to apply.

Check the archives here on OSi....bad news!!!
Guess we all can't be put on good accts. Gotta be there at the right time. Both of my accts.

When I worked there, I had a primary acct and 4 other accts. SM
Pay was okay. There is a site for MTs to get samples from different accts. You can also email other MTs on the same account and ask for samples. I left before they implemented the new platform, Cornerstone.

PS. I worked for MQ before Spheris, but I left before all the major changes took place. Of the two, I preferred MQ.

I guess this explains part of the reason we keep running out of work. My office lost a lot of huge
accounts in the past year.
Diskriter offshores in a huge way, which means privacy is compromised and American jobs are lost

Stop the carnage and quit working for these companies!  Protect your own interests!

This hospital started in July after WX lost another, larger acct.
Currently, the acct is always out of work. Perhaps they will be sending more work WX's way now.
It probably is a slow patch on your acct, but (sm)
ask for a backup anyway.  I haven't run out.
No - it is not always slow! Depends on the company and hospital. I have never been slow this time
Slow time is usually in September when everyone is back to work/school from the summer months.

Been doing this 24 years and never slow this time of year. Actually, I am drowning in work - can't keep up.
Platform a bit slow, loads of material to know on each acct, they overhired
for the acct they put me on, so I sit and wait for work to roll in. They gave me a secondary acct, but again I wait. I think some are happy there, I might be if they didn't overhire and they beefed up their platform to move a little quicker.
You say you type 130 wpm but call yourself slow? I think you lost track of your story AnnSallie
Hope you are happy and glad if you are. I'm not following this anymore as it's getting a little old.
If you like to be switched on accts all the time.

I have 3 accts and spend 85% of my time on 1 of those; sm
I almost never run out of work. Good for you that you found some place else that is a better fit for you. However, some of us are happy and do well there.
you lost 40% this time.
How long do you think your 401K will last if you lose 40% every quarter? It's basic math. It won't last forever.
TWS 3.8, just seems strange for this time of year. I have 3 accts. NM

Ask to be put on another acct. I'm part time and work
full time hours because our account is always behind.
A lot of OT on my acct, supes are good, pay on time.

They were very nice and paid on time right from the start, but both accts. I got put on I couldn'

Lots of us lost respect for QA quite a long time
Especially when no 2 can agree on the same thing. Easier to just ignore it and get on with our work. Besides, if we didn't make what you consider to be 'mistakes', you'd be out of a job, wouldn'tcha?
I worked a short time, El Centro & Salinas acct.
It took 3 1/2 solid days for the install (for free) System not too stable, had to contact tech support constantly. QA was from overseas, some inhouse. The account were also sent there after a certain time of day, 5pm I think it was. The particular account I worked on was really difficult lot of accents (account near Mexico border) A lot of slurring and speedy ones, they did not seem to care how they dictated. I am familiar with ESL too. I did not enjoy the experience.

LOL. What teeth? Lost them when I couldn't get full time lines
Just gumming whatever I can! LOL.
TransTech, some MedWare accts., Amphion, Commonwealth (in CT.), Charts in Time, Focus. nm

Was there a short time last year. You work as an employee, not IC. Different software/diff. accts.
s
Yes, but the only slow time for me...sm
was around the holidays for a couple of weeks, but now they are dictating like crazy, I guess they are taking on a lot of new patients. I still worry about this profession tho....I jsut pray daily that the account i work on does not go to EMR.
I think this could only be done with a huge client base, or a huge number of say only
s
It is slow this time of the year EVERY - anybody that has done......sm
transcription for any length of time knows that.
Is this a slow time of year or what?
?
Yes, I am. Things are slow right now, but I have been able to get it every time (sm)

I don't know for sure, but since they are advertising for 44 MTs for the new acct, I'm assuming some are already being hired, and that's why it is slow.  But we will be inundated soon, so I can live with it.  I like to do more than minimum, but I can manage on the minimum.  It will pick up real soon!


How long does this slow time last. nm
:
This is normally a slow time of season
in this field. No one wants to be in the hospital during the holidays, a lot of doctors are out, etc. Also, I think many companies are just overwhelmed with the responses they get to an ad.
Did this for 3 years. No slow time encountered. (nm)

Is Future-Net Techology slow to pay all the time?
I've been waiting since last week for my check, still not here. Invoice submitted on 12/14.   I guess, no pay, no work from me.   Blah!
Knowing that the only time work is slow is during
is wonderful and I will flex my schedule any time to keep my job at Transtech.
I think work is typically slow this time of year sm
and I am surmising they are not wanting a backlog to build because a lot of MTs are also taking time off for the holidays leaving a skeleton crew on some accounts. I am sure it will all be busier than ever in a week or so.  I have been able to get my line counts and then some everyday so far.  Everywhere I have ever worked gets a little slow towards the holidays.
Goes to show neither of you have been in the MT buisiness very long - It is always slow this time..

of the year..... nm


It's usually pretty slow this time of the year and TT is no different. The new accounts
they are hiring for will be starting next month and from what I understand they will need to hire more than 120 MTs between now and the end of the year for the four new hospitals, so I am not too worried about it.
Slow time of year = no work. Basically the same. If

I would wait it out because it is slow this time of year anways...
then after the holidays, if no better, time to start looking...good luck and hang in there!!!
Litt to no work since Thanksgiving, slow time and overstaffed too????nm

It's neither. It's ALWAYS slow this time of year, between Spring Break and Easter.
By the week after next we'll be drowning in work.
