Hmmmmm, maybe that is because you aren't an Ochsner MT.

I also hate it because we lost our QA Specialist to a better company. Everyone is leaving OSi, maybe I should also follow.

You must not be on Ochsner or
Mayo unless you live in India.
Ochsner shutting down
It seems to me that Ochsner did close, as we have treated some of their patients in central louisiana. They may be back up and running by now.....not sure.
Duh..I until recently was an Ochsner MT and still
geez... get your facts straight
Ochsner New Orleans was down for awhile..
they are coming in again. Ochsner Baton Rouge stayed up and running.
Can't say for sure. MAYO, OCHSNER, SARASOTA
If you have no work lately, put 2+2 together. Rads are usually easier so the Palaniyappan Chidambaram folks might not have as many errors.
Be sure to ask for a back-up account. If they don't offer you one or give you one with no work, the Hindu gods are probably very pleased.
hmmmmm
Well, I guess time will tell. Tracy sent out a very nice email and my first impression is that she is a very nice lady. She emphatically stated that offshoring was NOT in the plan. I will take her at her word. I've never been one to jump up and panic without good reason. Anyhow, I'm probably overdue to be put out to pasture anyway so I'm not overly concerned about it. I'm only still MT-ing because I've started my day that way so very long it's like second nature and I probably wouldn't be able to get a thing done all day if I didn't hit the keyboard for a little while every morning (sometimes even on my days off). What a nut case, huh? LOL Money isn't the object anymore and I'm thankful for that. One couldn't ask for a better place to work than TT but then that's just my opinion. They certainly know how to staff their accounts so the only reason their MTs couldn't make a living would be if they didn't work. The work is there and the pay is honest.
Hmmmmm....don't know how that's possible...SM
but I'd sure like to be on her account that lets her type 300 lph to make that! I am not wasting any time during my shift and can't seem to average more than about 130 lph. Sure I have hours that are higher or lower but I'm talking how it evens out over time.
The poster saying she can't make line count is not a shock to me...it's very hard to meet at Amphion. I'm not sure why you are so surprised; like you said, you haven't worked there yourself to see what it is like.
To original poster, I'm sorry this happened, and I wish you luck with the next company when you find it.
hmmmmm
Got my answer, they are based in the California, Phillipines, and Manila... okay... not my cup of tea, I don't think....
Hmmmmm
Well, I've never actually had a company ask for a hearing test. I understand we need to be able to hear well but people who hear great cannot necessarily transcribe great.
That being said, I certainly hope that is not a thing we're going to start seeing in the future because that certainly does not prove you can do the work one way or the other.
However, I do know professionals in my family who when applying for a high paying position are now being asked to sign a release so the company can look at their medical records to see how their health is and no doubt if they are at risk for using the insurance too much. My husband has had this happen before as well.
Hmmmmm
Why are you special that you get to judge someone you do not even know? It is the state of the industry, not this poor woman who got laid off. On the other hand, I think you sound like a SUIT.
Did Ochsner Clinic in Louisiana get shut down due to
hmmmmm. was that before she got lazy?
xxxxxxxxxx
Do you think all the headers and footers aren't getting counted? Lots of places aren't giving
s
So, they told you that they are not sending Ochsner Clinic, etc. offshore and you believe them?
n/m
hmmmmm...emailed several times and no response.....
Should that tell me something???
Address the same as Transend Services - HMMMMM ???
You aren't the only one, believe me. NM

Aren't they the ones who are
supposedly looking into buying Heartland?
aren't they all going to be
under regional supervisors within a year??? If you can get yourself under the northeast regional supervisor, do it. She's great.
Oh MY aren't you a gas
Why would you care. Bitter? I got a great job by not being hired by them with innumerable benefits and assigned to a nice a/c with great potential.
Don't get my way - do you mean expecting to be paid on time is being bitter and spoiled? What planet do you come from? LOL
And yes SD is said - it's not my fault they auto cap it - boy do you have issues!!!! sd is standard shorthand for said my friend. can't imagine even noticing something like that.
Uh, no. They aren't doing that
The letter I received a few months ago when I cancelled my membership said something quite different. It had nothing to do with keeping the jobs US based. It was all about quality healthcare documentation which is important; don't get me wrong there. However, there was NOTHING in there stating anything about keeping this work here at all. Instead it was all about the global marketplace and a cop-out.
I personally feel that the bulk of the healthcare industry knows cheaper doesn't necessarily mean better or even close to what is expected. I don't think all of the jobs are going to disappear.
I have written, called and probably annoyed my senator and any other government official in my state about outsourcing private healthcare information. India, for example, does not have stringent laws about private information like we do.
We do have a personal responsibility though. I have brought this up on other boards, but we need to ask our healthcare providers if their back office is handled here. If not, choose another provider if possible. Of course avoiding purchase of everything that comes from somewhere else is virtually impossible, but there are lots of other things. This may also sound mean, but if I get on the phone with customer service somewhere and realize the person I am speaking with is offshore, I have my call transferred. Nothing against the person, but I am not discussing my personal account information with someone who is not 100% required by law to protect that information. Period. If enough people take the intiative (not saying in this particular way), the gov't and other organizations won't have a choice but to listen.
Outsourcing globally is not the trend right now. I really think pulling together can stop it from becoming so.
Aren't they like about $40,000 ???
My car's OLD - only kind I can afford.
And just because you aren't a fan sm
doesn't mean it is a bad company for everyone.
Aren't we all?

Now I know you aren't exp'd - there is SM
no earthy reason to BUY A PDR to look up drugs. Caught again.
They aren't even in the US - ya think?? *-D) nm

You REALLY ARE NEW aren't you?
Snort... How naive.
Look, the really sad thing is that work has really picked up at TT and if whomever the fool is that decided to file this lawsuit had just waited a bit, things on MT Stars would have died down. Have you seen any negative postings about TT recently? No, because there is WORK!!
If you let your anger rule your head, you will show yourself for the fool that you are.
Sad, truly sad....
Obviously, you aren't one of them...
If you had the slightest legal knowledge, you would know that any person can file a lawsuit against anyone -- the claims don't have to be true. Again, enjoy your Law 101 class.
If you aren't happy
why don't you leave? You seem to know so much, so you must work for OSi. You musn't be able to get another job elsewhere.
If you aren't using an expander just think how
many more lines you could produce with an Expander and then that would be like gettin a raise.
Why don't you just go back to MQ, they aren't that bad
I was full-time with them and quit for reasons not related to all the new changes, but after thinking it over, I decided to keep some part-time hours because I enjoy the work.

A little snippy aren't we?

No they aren't. They are looking for editors
Is there a little emoticon for putting a finger down one's throat and retching?
Maybe we aren't talking
not sure what kind of rate could result in $4.25/1000 words...but I'm doing much better than that...so far.
I have worked for TRS and while they aren't the
worst company out there, I certainly would never recommend them. Any time people can't figure out how much their making, it isn't an ideal situation. The Trinidad issue and how it was handled is another strike against them.
They aren't outsourcing. nm

Wow, aren't we cynical!
I am working for TT because a couple of TT employees took the time to answer my questions about the company and it sounded like it might be the place for me. I am very glad they were so helpful, because now I work there and I'm very happy. I haven't found any drawbacks to working there. If the companies you have chosen to work for have not turned out well, I'm sorry, but don't assume they are all the same. It is absolutely not fair to try to run down a company's name when you admit you never worked there. I do work there, and the company hasn't asked me to advertise for them. I can't believe you would judge people who go out of their way to try to help other MTs find a good company.
You aren't getting paid? nm

You aren't missing much with sm
Transhealth. Chartmatrix stinks, doesn't integrate well with Word at all (cannot use autocorrect), crashes alot, and hard dictators. Their test dictators are actual doctors on their system. Management and office staff turn over quite frequently. Transolutions last I knew started out at 6 cents a line. You may want to go IC if you don't need the benefits.
Aren't you clever...
I didn't call *myself* 'garbage' - and you know it, but I guess going for the cheap shot is the best you can do?
Your experience may have been wonderful; mine was the worst. The person who originally asked about the company needs to hear both negative and positive feedback.
True, but most of them are, aren't they? They are for me.
nm
Apparently you aren't going to let this go!
Tricky: I asked a while back how far off the line counts are in your mind - 2% 1% 10%?
If its a small discrepancy you might consider dropping it, if its a lot you could find a different job if management can't explain it to your satisfaction.
That said, I'm totally in your corner if there is serious discrepancy here, but so far you have not elaborated how much you think the counts are off.
Aren't we all. Why do you think someone should just hand

My my aren't we judgemental

Well we aren't staying
a very large portion of the MQ staff is leaving, the majority of which as I can guestimate have been with MQ for many, many years, made them what they are. I myself have 12 years in with MQ and am done in 3 weeks. Don't get snotty with us...
Aren't they out of Texas
You aren't going w/ Amphion?
Or are you a different Rainbow
When MTs aren't working
1. Burnout. It's quite common in this field, due to the intensity of the job. Anyone with any real experience in this field knows this and takes precautions to keep it from happening. Intelligent employers make sure it doesn't happen, recognize it when they see it and work the MT through it. If not, good MTs are lost. Many people supervising MT now are not MTs and are completely ignorant of the job.
2. Getting mostly crap work or unfamiliar work on an ongoing basis. If bombed with crap work without compensation for known crap work, MTs get the above burnout, pound their brains out for nothing then give up.
3. We are people, not nameless machines. Lack of adequate rest or reasonable time off without penalty is self-defeating. MTs that give up their entire lives for their jobs and then make less than 30K for it eventually slow down. No incentive to keep going. After two years without a mammogram, dental appointment, a filthy house and my family having to make appointments with me to see me, I found myself in a vicious cycle that was not worth it. These personal things have to be done and eventually people will do them when they get fed up with self-neglect.
And that is why some people aren't working.
why aren't you working?????
too busy reading everyone's posts?????
aren't we ALL recruiters for the
company we work for. Obviously we like where we work since we are employed there....and don't we all then recruit others who are in the job market....
