I was always raised to believe that you could do anything you wanted or have anything that you wanted if you were willing to work for it, so that is what I have done.  I have worked at home the last 10 years or so, so that makes it not so tough.  It would be different if I had to slap on the heels and hose and commute across town to the various jobs, plus try to run home to let my doggie out. 

I agree with you in that you cannot leave your fate in the hands of any company.  We have to take care of ourselves -- seems as though no one else is going to.  I always get a bit nervous with the big holidays coming up, but I figure surely with 3 jobs (1 FT, 1 almost FT, and 1 PT), I can make it through unscathed this year.  Hope so anyway ......

Sorry that you were forced into doing the extra job thing, but it certainly makes sense.  The first work at home job I had, I panicked when I ran out of work and I called the office, only to have the account manager LAUGH at me and say oh, just take the day off.  I was an employee, not an IC, and when it happened several days in a row, I did NOT find it amusing.  Oh well... bad memories.  Things are better now, and I hope they are better for you too. 

Transcend only sends work overseas IF THE CLIENT ALLOWS IT. I have spoken directly with the company president and she told me that they will ALWAYS give the work to a US-based MLS if they have a choice.

Okay, here is a GLARING statement- a statement that begs to point out the inconsistencies and offers a glimpse into what type of company this is:

Transcend only sends work overseas IF THE CLIENT ALLOWS IT.

and then you have:  they will ALWAYS give the work to a US-based MLS if they have a choice.

OF COURSE TRANSCEND HAS A CHOICE!  All companies contracted with them would ALLOW U.S. based transcriptionists to transcribe everything!  What, is Transcend going to telL the client Hey, you don't have a choice - it's going to India?  NO!!!  It is Transcend who is making the choice for them - and YOU!  If they really, really gave a hoot about the USA and keeping Americans working, they wouldn't offshore a darn thing!  Now, whether they introduce a reduced line rate to those companies to entice them to send our precious medical info overseas, I don't know.  And of course the managers are going to come on here and try to play it down - THEY NEED THEIR JOBS!  How can you management people come on here and act like you're ready to be these people's best friends when you probably have an idea of what's going on - maybe you don't really - maybe you just believe whatever propaganda is being told to you by your employer?

People, it is ALL ABOUT THE MIGHTY DOLLAR TO TRANSCEND!  15% off-shoring?!  Any percent is TOO MUCH!  It is MDI's decision of what to do with their company, but Transcend, please don't come on here and try to sugar-coat things and make them better than they most likely are - especially by that statement above made by the President of Transcend.  Hasen't the sneakiness and deceit gone on long enough?  Give these poor MT's a break and tell them the TRUTH!  But that won't happen, just like it hasn't until they were forced to. 

With a statement posted above from the President of Transcend, I would NEVER go to work for them - NEVER.  How stupid do they think we are?  Even a 5th grader can figure that statement out

Is there a minimum number of lines per day or hours per day?  What platform do they use?  Do they pay for spaces and demographics?

Thanks!

maybe I am mistaken.

due to MY mistake. I accidentally counted lines typed after midnight on the last day of the pay period and thought I would get paid for them. It was when I first started. They actually cut me a check for those lines that day. Glad I work close to the office.

Just to clarify for you, Grace does the paychecks on site. If there is a problem with your check, call the 1-800 number and ask for Grace or email Grace@medwaremt.com. She will check the problem and fix it right then and there. Don't go to the team leader, go to the person who does the checks. Her office is also right next to the Flannery's so it not a big thing to get them signed.

I've been a member for years here. I have a validated email address and have been using the same moniker for at least a year.

Something is not right.

the first page of the Company board will be removed to open up space for other companies to post.  Enjoy the new Medquist board set up for you.

Thank you,

They've taken all they are going to take from me.   I am not going to waste any more time being angry.   I hate the way things ended, but I refuse to accept the blame for any part of it because I know that was a lie too, even though they did try to blame the MTs.  I know part of the problem was quality issues, but QA wasn't to blame for that either, although they have been.   

It is time to pick up and move on.   I think mgmt will reap what they sow.   For those who worked on the main account Webmedx is still hiring, though the best time slots have already been taken.  

I was at a lost today on the call, but it was not far into the call before i knew what i was up before it was even said. I have been looking like mad for a new job today. I have loved my job at HIS and now i find myself scared and worried how I am going to support my 3 children and myself.

Most of the companies i have found only take those with 2 or 3 pluse years. I only have 1 year 3 months in wiht HIS.

I too have shead tears today and said a lot of prayers that i find something before the bottom of the basket falls out of me and my kids.

They are owned and run by the Philippines, so they didn't lose anything really.  Everything is run out of there now. Boy just try to find out who does what, nobody seems to know anything.  It's just awful awful awful.  Cymed was headquartered in TN, Spi bought, took over, moved the office, now some chick in Virginia answers the phone with a list of phone numbers but knows nothing or nobody. It's like this huge secret who does what now.

No one cares about what is in the medical records right now.  Type it and file it and the lawsuits will come down the road...  probably by that time, the company will be out of business or in India or feel they won't have to face that. 

Hey, aren't we supposed to have a push to reconcile our medical records?  Everyone will have a set that they can take with them to each doctor?  Gee, what do you think will happen when patients find out exactly what CRAP is in their records.  Can you say L-A-W-S-U-I-T?  Come on, all together now...
