If you are dealing with someone by
e-mail, they you already have some documentation. SAVE THE E-MAILS in a file where you can find them again, they will have time stamps to document when they were sent - very useful.
If you are dealing with the boss face-to-face, then still send an e-mail memo summarizing what you had discussed:
08/12/2009
Regarding our conversation this morning in your office, I will be taking time off 11/25, 11/26 and 11/27/2009 to travel to East Overshoe for Thanksgiving. [This will be with/without pay]. I will return to work 11/28/2009.
She does not necessarily have to reply or even acknowledge recepit, but you will have a piece of paper to remind you both of what was agreed. Much less likely for someone to conveniently forget if it's in writing.
Just what MQ did, buy up all the competition sm
and make a monopoly, set the prices, standards etc. Been there. Not that long ago Transcend bought up anotherd company, 137 or 140 employees, now they have no work. She posted on MTDaily. Really sad for sure.
Just because we can't see it doesn't mean mgmt isn't dealing with it. (sm)
Hopefully they are still monitoring this. The only time I really noticed a problem was a few months ago, they had hired some new people on my main account and they evidently didn't like foreign accents. After a few days an E-mail came out about cherry picking and those people were gone, either to another account or company, I don't know.
am i detecting competition? nm.

Competition is the Name of the Game!
What we have always seen happen within the U.S. between U.S. workers in the job market , competition , is expanding to the global marketplace. U.S. workers now not only have to compete with each other in the arena of marketable skills , they must also compete with those in other countries who not only possess the same marketable skills , but do so at lower prices. Naturally , a company which can get the same production out of a worker for a smaller price is going to choose that worker, as the savings in labor costs will increase the bottom line.We lost our manufacturing base on just this scenario...a fatal blow to the soundness of our economy , IMO. That left us with a service sector base , which is also facing the same threat , with the likelihood of the same result , suffered by our manufacturing base.
One solution is as Obama has suggested. The feds take away any tax breaks companies which outsource get to the deteriment of U.S. workers. Will the U.S. government do something like that? I doubt it. Look at what is happening right now over the issue of illegal immigration into the U.S. We were attacked on 9/11 ; drugs and criminal are being brought across our borders ; our law enforcement officials and citizens are under attack ON OUR OWN SOIL from those coming across the border ; and in the economic arena , companies are hiring illegals and undercutting U.S. workers' wages.
The People have demanded the border be secured and the Congress passed a bill calling for U.S. border security. But , what has actually been done? NOTHING!!! Why? Because the feds don't want to secure the borders. If they did , the borders would be secured , or at least a serious attempt would have been made. So , why haven't they secured the border? Because U.S. companies want to employ illegals and pay them lower wages , thus increasing company profits. The dirty little secret , that isn't really a secret , is that our legislators and president are all about serving their masters...and that isn't We the People ; that is the corporate and banking classes who fund their campaigns and give them lucrative positions in their compamies when they leave office.
So , unfortunately there it is.
But they go to SO many shows, they're never in the office dealing with any of that! LOL nm

The competition is in the price NOT quality.
Editors clean up American MTs and Indian MTs. Bottom line is COST!!! DUH! It is just like everything else being made overseas in China, Mexico...IT IS CHEAPER THERE!
Is everyone in the Amherst office being run out of work or how are they dealing with this situation
if you are out of work. Anyone with any experience with this at Amherst that can shed some light on what to expect at this office from what you have experienced. Thanks.
i am not in this for competition, just to make a living and feed my family you
insensitive b*****
I liked the program too, and love Joann's idea for dealing with cherry pickers
or people who skip reports - assigning the MT who skipped a report 3 reports by the same dictator so they learn how to do them.
Caught that. Thx! Something about competition clauses at the time kept them from hiring in NY state.

offshore overseas.... not outsource .... correct term is offshore.
nm
This seems to be pro-offshore board. Messages against offshore often just disappear.
:+
offshore to India, it's OFFSHORE (off shore), not outsource to India.
nm
The offshore...
but that's to cover third shift. They have no intention of replacing their whole staff with offshore workers. There are things I don't like about the company but I believe them when they say that. They've been offshoring for years and have plenty of work for those who want to work in the US.
Offshore, offshore, offshore.
o
Do you me offshore
Outsource is what hospital do when they send their dictation to a company such as Transcend or OSI.
Offshoring is when they send their dictation to overseas transcriptionists. It is easy to confuse the two.
offshore definitely nm
nm
They offshore, top pay is around 8.5 cpl.
There have been several complaints the last couple of weeks about lack of work. Benefits are good. Don't know about platform. Check archives, lots about them lately.
Offshore
Diskriter and OSi also offshore.
Rather than have new posters search through tons of archives for answers to this question, maybe a list should be made of all companies that do offshore and posted permanently on the board, with revisions made as new ones come up. Just a suggestion...please no flames!
Yes, they offshore.
They have a facility in India. The fact that they offshore is all over this board. They have purchased several companies. I do not know if one of them is in New Jersey.
Did he tell you they offshore? nm
They offshore.
They both offshore
nm
They use offshore. sm
I saw this on their website under hospital solutions:
We offer a choice of Domestic or Philippine based medical transcription services with U.S based Quality Assurance specialists, and 24-hour or STAT file turnaround.
They offshore too.
It's offshore
I never thought the academic and research would go offshore too, but I was wrong.
With a pay cut like that...they might as well offshore.

Offshore sm
Medware, Focus Infomatics and OSI send work offshore. Don't know about the other one.
and it's no wonder MT is going offshore with
makes an MT work under these conditions!
They offshore. Very low pay.
.
I think you mean that they offshore.
.
They offshore. They don't pay very well.
They've changed the way they pay recently, which I think is a bit strange, but seems an attempt to make it seem like you are making more than you are.
No but they do offshore
They finally admitted it after denying it for years. I am looking for another job for a lot of reasons. One reason is the extra work without pay, and they do offshore on one of my accounts so I have to hop around to find work to do. I am tired of it. The other poster is correct-- they do not seem to care about the MTs.
Yes they do offshore
Yes, they offshore
They offshore, pay low.
I think two people who work there speak English.
Well they do offshore of course
They go give mentees a chance and spend the rest of their time figuring out ways to screw the rest of the MT's out of lines and money.
It's definitely the big O that is sent offshore
because I had to QA them.
Yes, they now offshore sm
They have what they call Precyse International now in India I believe.
It was a pretty great place to work, but as soon as they started to offshore, things changed quite quickly. They sent the good work away to Precyse International, at least on the accounts I worked on anyway. That is why I left.
They do offshore!
Yep, they do, I work for them and I do know this for a fact.
How do you know they offshore?
Their recruiter told me they don't. Specifically, I asked if that was how they got their name and was told Yes. But WHY are they ALWAYS advertising?
yes they offshore, otherwise not bad
they pay on time, pay rate is 6.5/9, insurance isn't great, but my supervisor and QA are good, they have incentives and overall are decent.
They offshore..nm
x
AND they don't offshore!!
//
They offshore, but don't really want you to know that. They
also slipped that the best dictators are offshored while the garbage is left for US MTs to do. The recruiter told me that I was lucky that an account that almost never has any openings because all the MTs love it and don't leave had an opening. After she mentioned the name I knew she was full of BS because I had worked on the account when I worked at YOG and I knew how difficult the account was. When I talked to the team leader she told me what a difficult account it was and that they couldn't keep MTs on it because it was so difficult.
The recruiter and the team leader IM'd the entire time I was talking to them, which I felt was very distracting and unprofessional.
I turned down the position so can't give you any specifics, but they sure did leave a bad taste in my mouth and I would never recommend them.
Offshore
Wonder where there QA is located. Oh, yeah, we got to fix those errors for peanuts per line.
PROBABLY DONE OFFSHORE!!!
NM
I don't know if they currently offshore, but
they have in the past. They lost so many accounts due to the poor quality of the offshore work. Positions are IC only and no direct deposit. I don't know how much work there is with Rad account, but there isn't much work otherwise.
I wouldn't recommend QT until they can prove themselves again. You can go back through the archives and read past posts about all the issues the last few months. There are still lots of hard feelings and lots of good MTs still struggling trying to find positions with decent companies.
Does MDI-MD offshore? SM
My primary will have work and managers starting getting huffy about TAT and then all of a sudden there is no work. Very dissappointed that I'm on an account that is consistently running out of work. Right now, I have nothing!
They (as far as we know) do not offshore, but
They have outsourced to a service -- no secret.
Offshore
Please remember one very basic thing - business people are the same the world around - they are in it to make money. Sooner or later, Indian and other foreign companies are going to demand the same pay as American based companies (why should they continue to accept less money for the same work but with less profit). I truly believe that sooner or later (hopefully sooner) this will naturally cause a turnaround in routing of this work. Hopefully, for American companies, there will be SOME of us left who can actually do the work.
