It's gonna get worse SM

When someone posted below who cares about construction workers that pretty well summed up the problem in general.  Everything is about 'me.'  Our America is on its way to becoming a Third World Country.  Watch the news sometime.

NOBODY, except the MT's who are making less and less money and losing whatever comfortable lifestyle they had previously had the pleasure to live.  Unless you have more than 1 member in the household to bring in the money, or you have received an inheritance from family member, there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY TO MAKE A LIVING AT Transtech anymore.  They absolutely DON'T CARE either.  TransTech mgmt will not talk about it; only promises of new accounts coming on . . . ha !  Possibly an overflow account to replace the LOST account. 

I so wish mgmt's paychecks would be affected by this NO WORK situation that has been going on for more than a year now and they would get out of that Houston high-dollar office and FIND US MT's some WORK !

I really should start showing on my resume I've only worked for 3 years.  Maybe I'd get the good accounts for once.

So what did I do before that?  Oh, I guess I didn't need a job.  Maybe they'd stop slinging me all the sh**.

but I don't know if policies and coverage rates vary from state to state.  Here in Maine, I think the state has something in place that limits how many insurance companies can exist...messed up but true.  Maybe that's what the person meant by going to the voting booth?  I honestly have no idea. 

I have to buy the family plan, even though it's just my husband and I, and man, even though the company chips in a bit it is very pricey...if it goes up again the next cycle, I'm probably gonna have to drop, as it already costs over 1/3 of what I make, but I try not to think about it because it makes me poop blood.  Again though, I deeply believe this is due to the corruption of the State of Maine, and not DeVenture.

On the front page of the Long Beach Press Telegram in Long Beach, Calif. today is the start of a series that is going to run every Sunday for the rest of the year.  They are going to share the experiences, some challengiing, some encouraging, of our friends and neighbors this is regards to the slowing economy, unemployment, etc.  Also today was a letter to the Editor that basically said  If you want to fix the economy in the U.S. then quit outsourcing all the jobs overseas. Jobs here = consumer confidence and spending.

I am going to give it a shot and see if I can get a story about the MT field and how what is happening in MT is NOT related to EMR. The EMR President Obama wants is a MR that is accessible via a computer (EMR) (and HIPPA accountability for privacy) but no where have I seen any reference that the reports that are included in that MR are supposed to be coming from a Third World Country with no HIPPA accountability.  The focus behind the EMR is having access to your medical records if you have a medical incident away from access to that infamous paper chart in your doctor's office or prior paper hopsital records that can not be rapidly accessed.  I am not against the concept of EMR but I am against the concept of trying to get by with lumping it in with other functions end up eliminating jobs in the U.S.  They are our medical records and all components of them should remain in our country.  If I am able to pull it off and get a Sunday dedicated to MT and EMR, I will post the link to the article here.  Anyone who wants to assist in writing an article give me a shout-out.

As a nod to show my displeasure in certain actions I have witnessed, I will no longer say nutin' about them.  It is just a place for me to earn a paycheck now and certainly no sense of pride is held by me any longer.  I know I am also being watched here as well and refuse to change my handle to anon or anything gay like that. 

Shame, shame, shame and they know why. 

I started when they were Cymed, just about a year ago.  Since the merge, the payroll company has twice not paid people in certain areas due to problems and just within the last month, we got an email that the payroll company lost a laptop with employee banking information on it.

Don't expect any communication from anybody with this company.  You may get emails from somebody with no name associated with the email, no title, anything. You have no idea who you are hearing from. 

If you are an editor, you better be very flexible.  You may have to cross servers and handle up to 30 accounts to find maybe 6 good hours of work.  Moveup for editors is based on line production and some of the accounts don't even count lines.  Let's not forget a great many require log sheets, that's very time consuming. 

I don't know what exactly the account managers do because the lead QAs run the show.  Don't expect an answer if you email the account manager with a question. My account has a lead who is power hungry and even uses initials after her name that just means she is a member of a group, not professional affiliation.  I've seen 3 very well-qualified people, MTs and editors, just quit without notice after being fed up.  I've seen MTs left on full QA for 6-7 months, not because they were bad, but because nobody noticed they needed taken off.  I am just disgusted.
