I had the same thing happen
A while back I posted about a good company who had been hiring and my post disappeared as well.
There was nothing bad, no personal names, etc. A good company who does not outsource to other countries.
Hmmm. Is something rotten in Denmark?
I had the same thing happen to me, only in Italian.
Had an Italian doc, a really wonderful doc, but very, very thick accent. Well, guess what. I understand (not speak) a good deal of Italian. When I was growing up, my family lived with my grandmother, who was straight off the boat, as we used to say. And my small town was full of Italians. People were constantly speaking Italian around me when I was growing up, so I picked up quite a bit.
So one day I get this Italian doc dictating, and he kept switching back and forth between English and Italian, and I actually had no problem transcribing him. I occasionally looked up a word or two in Italian, but not often. Well, the company I worked for quickly found that I was able to transcribe him accurately, so he was assigned to me. No problem. It was nice work. He was a great dictator otherwise. Well, eventually he found out that someone on the other end of the line was able to understand Italian, and so he switched over to dictating completely in Italian. Now that didn't really work at all! I speak immigrant Italian. The neighborhood was mostly Sicilian, but my family was from Abruzzia. There's a real big difference, and lots of what I know is a jumble of dialects and accents. And we certainly never sat around the kitchen table discussing medical terminology when I was a kid! The Latin roots helped, but I spent way too much time on his reports. So, the company sent him a note, and eventually even gave him my phone number. We talked for a bit, so he found out how much his Italian Transcriptionist knew, and we set a nice balance.
He eventually moved on to another hospital. I really missed him. He always signed on and greeted me with my Italian name, which is much prettier than my American name. And he always said Grazie. Molto grazie at the end of every report!
I had the same thing happen and I asked for a copy
of the test and was told they couldn't mail it to me. Which makes no sense at all since the document was in Word and all they had to do was Email me the corrected version.
Same thing happen with me and I finally gave up and moved on--different stokes for different folks!
That has been known to happen. companies scratch each other's back. nm

Had the same happen here, heard the same thing, good references and good ....sm
job record will get you better $$$ if you are willing to promote yourself, search like crazy, talk to everyone, etc., but I have never been paid a cent more for CMT, what a waste, and all the years I paid my dues to AAMT, what a joke, they did NOTHING to better our field, just took the money for better conventions, as far as I can see.
I had the same thing happen, went back to MQ, went back to KS and could not be sm
happier. I am on a different account then the first time and it is as if it is a different company. I have a great lead who leaves us alone most of the time but is there when I need her. It showed me that you can have a different experience within the same company.
I have to say that in the few weeks since they have the new office, it is much more organized probably because there are a lot of people there all the time. I had the pleasure of speaking to the new HR manager who was HR at a hospital, got my questions answered about insurance as I am going to full time and had a live voice pick up the phone.
Not all change is bad. This is one company that has changed for the better.
Um, not exactly - some of the VERY LARGE companies do the same thing!
Trust me. lol
I am not with KS but find the same thing at many companies. sm
I think it is just a part of transcription that not all platforms are transcription-friendly.
All the large companies do the same thing.
I don't work for WMX. I'm amazed this is the first anyone has heard. I suppose Webber Inc. keeps things quiet.
Really, don't get upset. Just business as usual.
Most companies going to VR, so not just a TT thing. -- more money in their pockets, less in ours.
Regretfully true, but there is NO WAY an MT can earn as much doing editing because you can't make twice as much for a long time after the machine gets to understanding the doctor. DocQScribe's editing platform is the only one that I have seen that was MT-friendly. Great money to be made on that platform, but as with all editing platforms, another new doctor comes onboard and the machine has to get to know his voice, so another slow down in editing.
It is definitely NOT a gain to the MT. Why do you think these companies would be changing over to VR/editing ????
Watch out for companies that do the tiered thing-
Only they called it leveling. They leveled everyone the same, whether you had 2 months or 20 years of experience, everyone got the same lousy pay.

Do you know if DTS outsources?
NM
Yes, DTS outsources a LOT. NM
NM
Thanks. Do you know if TT outsources overseas?
nm
OSi outsources, pay is never on time
and don't go there. Good luck.
spheris outsources also nm..
 nm
I agree 100%. Wonder if she outsources her
What a horrible American attitude to have. Perfect sample of why we are all going downhill in a handbasket.
CBAY OUTSOURCES!
s
Anyone know if Axolotl outsources? nm
.
SPI outsources and Medical Bazaar does too. nm
nm
Does anyone know of DocuMed outsources overseas? nm
:
I believe I believe Cymed outsources overseas also...sm
Unfortunately, we are going to continue to be in this same boat as long as medical transcription is outsourced to overseas countries. I used to think it wasn't a big deal (outsourcing), but I can see now that our jobs (and pay) are going to continue to deteriorate as long as outsourcing overseas is in the picture....and it is going to be in the picture for a very, very long time. :-(
It's never been a secret that Transcend outsources.
They are very proud of their overseas partners as they call them. The only reason the work is more steady and not all going there is that a lot of their hospital contracts state that they cannot outsource their work. So I applaud those hospitals because without them taking a stand, we'd be having no work..again. I remember waking up in the morning and finding there is no work and this is because the Indians are opposite us. When it's night for them it is day for us. So technically while we slept, they worked and when we got up, there was nothing left. It still happens on occasions but we have gotten a few new accounts so that helps. Also, whenever they ran out of work, people would quit and that would leave more work for whoever was left. It's just the nature of the business I guess. I've gone elsewhere.
Amphion outsources offshore to Trinidad.

So your saying you're a Bush follower since QT outsources? nm

Do you have proof that JLG outsources offshore? If so, please email the Administrator.

Every American MT should boycott working for any company that outsources! n/m
GRRRRR!
Sheeple!!! LOL - I agree. I wonder if Germany outsources it citizens work out of the country.
dd
how horrible but Acusis/DRC outsources to India, just what Spheris will do with that easy account. n

I suppose
they would have told me by now if they were unhappy with my production or my hours.
suppose i should
would like information regarding employment w/ this company. not interested in gossip... would like information that would help me decide whether this company would be worth considering an offer from.
IF VR is suppose to be
better quality, faster, then the facilities and transcription companies are already ahead in the game because their MTs will be able to do more, so why decrease their pay at all since they will be getting twice the amount of work and better quality. Is that what VR is all about? Did MTs pay decrease when they moved from standard typerwriters to electric typerwriters from electronic typerwriters to computers? Since when does better technology mean decreased pay? Is this really better technology or continued lack of value for those who do the work?
she is right, she is not suppose to cut sm
you a check without your SS number. She has to have that to cut you a 1099.
If you make less than 600 you don't have to claim it anyway.
If it were me, she would not get a computer back until I got my check!
Curiosity, why did you NOT sign any paperwork? Why would you agree to that?
I'm sure I'm suppose to be an example
probably thinking that I'm a retiree I can't afford to defend myself. LOL Fortunately I have a good attorney. He's also a personal friend. LOL
I suppose 4000/mo is too low for you?
What world do you live in?
Fired you too, I suppose?
Believe everything you read, huh chickenneck? We got you again, and proved our point again. She starts this week, and a nice healthy rate as well. Jealous, I know...stop wasting your valuable work time spread rumors and gossiping and you too may be one of the lucky ones! HAHAHA!
No, you are a recruiter. I suppose that does
zz
and I suppose they are HIPPA
compliant? Cannot wait for EMR.
Are there a lot of people leaving MQ right now. Seems like that is all I see and I suppose many more
where they came from that dont come on here.
ok lets suppose you make
9 cpl - and I'll average that on 1200 lines a day, that amounts ot 13.50/hr. Thats not worth sitting in your chair for 8 hours now is it? 10 cpl - 15/hr. and I seriously doubt you make more than that. Thats a lot of busting butt for such a low wage. On a good platform with fair counting system an experienced MT should be able to type 2000 lines per day, thats with breaks, and going along at an even pace.
Suppose nobody will see this now since it's off main page. NM

If they point, I suppose she's young.

actually not MDI, but I suppose there are insensitive managers everywhere! nm

I suppose it depends on what accounts you are on
All of my accounts have been over loaded with work this past month. I'm currently doing 2500 lines a day. Maybe your friend should ask about getting more backup accounts added to her queue.
I suppose it is too much to ask. Sorry for trying to get impartial answers.
.
AND I SUPPOSE YOU GOT PAID ON TIME LAST PAY PERIOD? NM
X
Don't you suppose they realize that - have you asked for a backup? (sm)
I feel like I have sung this song before.
I suppose it depends on which accounts have openings. nm
nm
Suppose it just adds to the hominess. One big happy
