and the only difference between our group and yours is the platform. We are working under Webmedx policies and management is all from WMX. I was happier when we were TransHealth. The company is very money-driven now and we are treated like nameless and faceless people.
MDI merge
*Mergers are a natural part of the business world. Some companies win and some companies lose. There are only so many resources they can exploit and as these become more limited in the global market there is a higher chance that mergers and takeovers will happen. There are signs that an
impending merger will happen and many reasons why these mergers are enacted.* yet another merge
a friend of mine went from Acusis to MDI. Like I told her, at least she knows what to expect this go round. Bottom line for you MDIers.. Don't believe a word that comes out of their mouths going forward. IMHO.
Personally, I don't see any reason an M.D. would not trust a VR program, unless he's seen the products of a report edited by a less than competent MT who didn't do their editing job appropriately.
MQ doesn't either.

Maybe she doesn't have the exp in ...sm
the area they are advertising on the job boards. Maybe she doesn't have the years of exp they want. There could be many reasons why she hasn't obtained another job. Maybe she wanted to give this one a fair chance. Who knows?
doesn't have anything to do with that..
how many companies state a minimum and overhire so you end up not making your lines? It does not mean Synernet does not do the same thing. Have you worked for them? Do you know this for sure?
This doesn't add up...
I read the article. It states, We have 1,000 domestic transcribers and 600 in India. Now, why do they need 600 transcriptionists in India if only 15% of the work is being sent to India? So, it takes 600 Indian MTs to complete 15% of Transcend's work and 1,000 American MTs to complete 85%. Either the Indian MTs are very, very slow (and how is that cost effective and how does that affect turnaround time and quality) or they are sending more than 15% of the work to India. Take your pick .
That says a lot about you then, doesn't it.
Why on earth would you find entertainment in MTs taking a pay cut to do VR and being low on work, etc. Sigh.
From the looks of that ad, it doesn't appear that

I believe and to anyone who doesn't sm
she tells the truth here. It's so sad that they are doing this to us. Those who stay will probably be people who are the 2nd income in the home, not the main breadwinner.
If contracts are not renewed, then not only will the account be finished but if that is a significant percentage of work for that office MQ may choose to merge that office with another for cost savings.
All I know to believe is what they have told me.
Well that doesn't say much about the company
You've been there 4 months and have 5 accounts already????? That tells people that they run out of work consistently otherwise you would be working on 1 account and have a backup, maybe 2. I've been there years and didn't even get my secondary account for almost 6 months because the work was so heavy on my primary account. Things have changed. The turnaround is so great they have to continually overhire. The only thing I have to say is think about why you were hired at 10 cpl. You're training the VR that is going to be cutting that 10 cpl to 5.5 cpl. If you're happy earning 5.5 cpl doing FULL editing that's great. Maybe you weren't there when the CEO was saying that the people who do really well on editing are not high producers in typing and vice versa. Those who have a hard time doubling their lines in editing are the ones producing 350-400 lines an hour in typing. There's no way they can make 700 lines per hour doing FULL editing. So if you're doing great in editing, you're not that great in typing...you're average. If you're a high producer in typing, let's see how happy you'll be when making 5.5 cpl for producing the same amount of work.
This company doesn't try either
They have not responded to their employees directly ... instead they put their comments anonymously on this board.
Best pay, doesn't always mean the best company. sm
You could make $0.18 cpl doing ESLs all day long and run out of work. That being said, how much would you make really if you can't do ESLs or there is no work available.
Everyone is looking for something different in a company. My suggestion is to write down what it is you are looking for, line rate, steady work flow, schedule, pay periods, etc and seek it out.
Good luck to you.
Stop saying that just because someone doesn't
share your opinion they must not get the reports you do, must not get the dicators you do, must not be an MT, must not...must not...must not.
Some have a different aptitude for this work. Others have a different OUTLOOK on the work and on life.
You're not the only MT there. You're not the only one with your outlook. Just because someone works at MQ, however, does NOT mean that they MUST feel like you, get the same work you do, etc. I get difficult dictators and reports a LOT but I don't complain about it. It's part of the job.
I really hope you can find something you are comfortable and satisfied with. I wish you all the luck. Please work ardently at doing so. Doesn't matter
They won't have the work anyway! They just want to keep EVERYBODY on standby constantly.
She doesn't. That is the beauty of it!
She is sick in the head and likes to pretend that she knows everything. That's what everyone on this board does.
It doesn't matter anyway
We don't have any work now, so no work later will be no surprise. Have been working for 3 hours and have been able to "snag" only two reports. A company that doesn't ...sm
test? CMT, 16 years experience including transcriptionist, QA, supervisor/trainer. Tired of all the companies that use mttest before they will even talk to you which takes up my time - only to find they don't pay very well! Are there any companies that wave the testing if you have the experience and great references?
How would you know the hospital doesn't know?? sm
Unless you are literally involved in the contract agreement between Diskriter and the hospital, how in the WORLD would you know what the hospital does and does not know. If you are an MT, you would have no idea because we are not involved in those discussions. They do not hide the fact that they offshore, in fact are pretty up front about it. They contract witih an offshore company, know because I was told by upper management when I asked. They only hire domestic MTs themselves. Little work goes to the offshore company or they wouldn't have so many domestic MTs working OT like crazy.
