in my opinion, you are not breaking confidentiality in any way letting fellow MTs know. It does not say in this post that you work for this small national or you work where the account is supposed to be going. So, if this is true, you are not breaking any confidentiality agreements.
Companies release and gain contracts all the time. Maybe this small national will lose one account but gain another. It happens every day.
I don't think there is any reason for panic or for you to carry a heavy heart, unless you work for one of these 2 companies. Then, you may need to think twice about saying a word.
If you do talk - do not mention names and do not mention the other company.
Again, good luck with whatever you decide.

It is confidential information - here is why.
Not every MT has the same experience level so, those with more experience are paid a better line rate in most instances. It is the MT's responsibility to negotiate or at least try to negotiate their line rate and what line rate they are willing to work for. Not company pays a base rate to every MT or QA person.
This of course is my opinion and the way I do business. Some may agree, some may not, it really doesn't matter. This is the way it is!
Payroll information is confidential information in my book.
May not be confidential information but gossip/rumor at this point and no employer likes that.

Told me I would be using Dictaphone EXT. Are you sure this is current information? nm

I know confidential and this is not it. sm
It is MY information. That is like telling me I cannot tell someone what hair color I have. It is MY info, garnered from MY hard work. The money now belongs to me, not the company. If you still have a problem with this, then tell someone what you made last month. That would be YOUR old information, had been your information for a month and should be YOUR information to do with whatever you want.
Its not so much confidential as none of your
business!! I hate it when people have the hutzpah to ask flat out what someone makes. If they want to volunteer it, fine. But its rude to just ask someone. And if they give you a figure, chances are huge that its bogus. Ask for a pay range - fine. Proper business etiquette. Buts its totally ignorant to just ask someone what they make - a complete stranger - and then get pissed when they POLITELY tell you they don't wanna give you that info. Get professional! You might make more $$.

Confidential to MTSO2
With all due respect.........where will YOU be working when all the jobs are gone??? Do you REALLY think the clients will continue to need a middleman??? I think not. Pity the poor souls who work for you.
Confidential to Paula
I was laid off from Focus QA about a year ago. However, they have reorganized and rehired me recently. The money is great and is much more than the hourly job I used to have. Yes, they do have day shift. They will pretty much work with whatever hours you can work. The team leads are Americans now. Good luck.

Confidential? Interesting word to use on this board.
I didn't see anyone's name, nor did I see any specific examples given. This person has the same rights to say what they think or feel, just as an MT does.
What info is in that email that is confidential or private?
Why is pay rate confidential? It is YOUR money that YOU made with YOUR hard work. You should be

In my opinion what you make is confidential and I have seen people get fired for discussing rates.
That all goes along in confidentiality agreements. I am in agreement with you though..it really is not anyone's business. If they want to know, they need to ask the company. The company will probably tell them.
I don't hesitate to ask. Have been told "yes", and have been told "no." Never been to

If you don't know what is confidential, you have no business being in any business.
This is confidential information and should not be divulged. It is one of the biggest problems a co can have. If you have to ask...well I won't be able to explain it to you
You are right, I told ek to do like ET...
Have they told you that you are going to
be a MEDICAL EDITOR? It's semantics, like the "MLS" title for a transcriptionist. Sounds really impressive to be called a "medical language specialist," but...HELLO...you're a TRANSCRIPTIONIST.
You are going to be nothing more than a custodian, cleaning up the junk that the "hookt on fonix" MACHINE REPLACING YOU has generated and for less money. If the dictators are half decent, you might be able to fly through a report in minimal time, but if you have to sift through the GARBAGE, only to wind up transcribing most of the job yourself, you are definitely going to lose money.
Do you eat only what you are told? If not, try them...

Told me the same
Same bull came from Jennifer week to week.
THANK YOU! I'm usually told how I should RUN

Thank you! I hope to someday!!!
What I was told
Here is what I was told when
I switched to DQS from Medrite.........
You actually were getting "free lines" on Medrite with the information that populated onto the (TES screen) actual report, for example, patient name, account#, MR#, dictators name, signing physician, address, etc. This accounted for about 6-8 lines per report. Needless to say, and I KNOW THIS FROM EXPERIENCE, a doctor could just hang up on that report and NOT SAY A SINGLE WORD and I would get paid those "free lines" because it was information that populated on the report.
With that being said, if you were typing 8-10 reports an hour, then multiply that by 6-8 for your "free lines" PER REPORT that would account for anywhere from 48 lines to 80 lines AN HOUR! Now, take that 48 to 80 lines per hour and multiply that by how many hours you work in a day. This is why and how you will see a decrease in your lines!
The problem is, is that with DQS, you ARE NOT PAID for the patient's name, account #, MR #, physician name, and so on. I believe this is where the misconception of DQS being a horrible platform and/or MQ screwing their MTs started.
All in all, I am able to type the same amount I was in Medrite per hour. The more you add to your word Expander and familiarize yourself with the platform, the better you will be.
Within a few weeks you will get used to it. I average 300 lines an hour and like DQS very much.
no but I was told that
people who were making a certain rate before DEP training were cut before the training. I heard this second hand from a girl in my class.
That's not what I was told when..sm
I went to work for them. You must be management.
They should not have told you that. sm
There are very few people in this industry that make that much money, especially working for national companies. Do you use a word Expander and do you use it at its fullest potential? The most I ever made was 52K working for a hospital making 10cpl per 57 character line. One other thing you might consider is trying to get your own accounts. Where you may now make 7-10 cpl working with a national, you can make 15-17 cpl with your own account, provided you can handle the workload. Unfortunately, they sometimes fail to tell you that in school. Good luck!
No. Not that they told me. SM
They just told me about the training that I would be going through and kind of just sketched through it. It seemed like they offered okay benefits, but the pay seemed fair. I was just seeing if anyone actually took this position and could tell me more about it. Radiology would be nice too.
Yep, was told would get
...another one, it would be added to my queue that day, but it never happened. This was three weeks ago. How many times should I ask before they get mad at me? It must be nice to be salaried and not have to worry about paying the bills.
they told me no, but when I got the sm
contract, there is a place on there that asks what hours you most likely will be working, so it is not set in stone. I understand that anybody likes to know something but I have talked to others who work for them and they have no problem. I am going to give them a 12 hour span when I could be in there. So far, they have answered my questions to my satisfaction. We will see when I get started. But, I am anticipating everything will be fine.
I was told that too.

I know who you are and you have told me
that you never checked to see if they were correct in their calculations when you were an MT - you just assumed they were right. No wonder you've advanced to QA....LOL. They love people like you.
Who told you not to?

No, I'm not SURE...but it was what I was TOLD. That's way better than the 90% I was doing at a

What I was told.
I interviewed and with over 20 years experience, was offered 8 cpl for MT and was told that was their tops, but you can get a little extra for shift differential. Also 4 CPL for editing reports. This is not VR, but work transcribed overseas. I don't feel comfortable proofing work for oursourcing as I am patriotic and I feel the CPL is way too low for experienced help. I am turning it down.
Was doing that, but QA told me not to do it.
So I assumed it was staying in the document when sent to client/QA.
I did not think that it would do that. But how would QA know that I had viewed in the larger type if it did not stay that way.
Thanks.
my guy told me about 30%

we were told
that nothing would change for the first 100 days, which we are in right now.
Were you told (sm)
by the Lead MT or the tech person that they were too busy? Be persistent and hopefully that will help.
I was told my
testing was so exceptional that they would waive the requirement that I pay the interviewer's hourly rate for the time she spent with me. I was gobsmacked, I tell ya.
What I was told about the OT...
There is really no way of getting out of doing the madatory OT. They sent out an e-mail some time back that said that anyone not doing their required OT would face disciplinary action. What I was told was that if you absolutely could not do it on a given day, they would allow you to skip that day, but you were required to double up the next day.
Hi, they told me they have......
nothing available right now ....................
Thank you. Like I told someone else, I have (sm)
been doing MT work since the 80's and NEVER had this kind of trouble learning a new program/account. Was thinking it was just me and I was getting too old or senile to do this anymore. Thanks.
They told me no they don't.
for clinic accounts anyway.
They told me they pay 25%
and it would cost me approximately $280 and couldn't tell me how much it would cost to add my kids on.
