IMHO
I have been concerned with these type of issues for several years now and have recently decided on an approach that I believe will be effective...Like many others it seems on this board I was involved with the UCSF mess and it did get a lot of attention...but those ripples have since subsided..
I believe this: the first thing to do is to adopt the city, state and locale of your acct...contact their tv stations, radio stations, local newspapers, any other sort of venue that you feel applies...simply make it known without giving acct or company name that local citizens are having their sensitive medical information outsourced with not only questionable quality but questionable privacy safeguards..for the most part this does generate a reaction and local discussion..once the information about outsourcing has been given the light of day, the next step and the more difficult one is unionization...with structural and strict pay tiers, cpl designated for each and every type of report imaginable, and union bureacracy and detail enforcement brought full force into this industry that has simply become a plantation...with most MTs seen as nothing more than menial labor...that, in my estimation, is the only only way the profits that always seem to travel upward are ever going to bring forth for the day to day MT benefits, protection, fairness and job security..then maybe there will be a quality for quality exchange that will benefit everyone...

They dumped the leads so they wouldn't be able to see who was getting all the work (Non-US MTs) on Job Lister.
what does IMHO mean?
I keep seeing it on here but have no idea what it means.

It is never, never a good idea to be paid like that for your work. Docs can be VERY slow in paying. Do your bills wait? I don't think so. RUN!
Only that they are the best company out there IMHO and
all the best to you, they truly are a wonderful place to work and they take care of their MTs. Let us know how it goes :)
Specialty, IMHO.
I've done both, and I think specialty pays the most, mostly because you do the same people often, so you can really build up your shortcuts and whatnot. I, however, have never done inpatient OPs (to any great degree) but I've often wondered if that doesn't pay much better, because of the normals.
In any case, I'm making 9 cpl doing specialty (cardiology) and have no problem whatsoever (when I apply myself and don't stop to read this board) typing 400+ lph.
But that's just me. I'd like to hear others who have done both, because I've often wondered if that's the norm.
Transtech. IMHO.
I have tried nationals, locals, the only close that comes to inhouse acute care and gives the ability to get anywhere near what I used to work is Transtech. And yes, I work overnight, and weekends, and whenever the work is there, but I like those schedules.
Fantastic company IMHO. nm
Of course, it depends on the companies, but IMHO....sm
It has been my own experience (almost 20 years now) that I have been happiest, on average, with smaller companies versus large ones. It seems the larger companies are big on hype, big on promises, have fancier websites, but when it comes down to working conditions, how valued the employee is, communication with the company, being MT-centered, the local or smaller companies have ALWAYS been better for me in pay, supervisors, administration, and even the little perks, so much more personalized. Of couse, this is a generalization. It seems the larger the company, the more you are a number, the more they can lie and shuffle you around, change all the rules on you, etc......and again, just my opinion and experience. I also learned so much more from smaller companies because they were always willing to explain, mentor, help, which busier, huge companies just cannot do. Anyway, very good luck to you, rooting for you either way!!!
Yes, mine was there are usual. TT is still the best IMHO.
Glad to be there. Glad to stay.
