Maybe so, but it was right on the money accurate nonetheless!
I don't think it was a typo, but still funny nonetheless.

Glad that's true for you for 8 years. Not true for many. I love the company, but I do run out of
as do many others. Wish I were as fortunate as you.
Not necessarily true. That is not a true test of skill.
Do you know how many people get others to take tests for them? It happens and it happens more often than you might think. The only skill that shows anyway is that you can do it.
We are actually more than a transcriptionist. We are specialists in our field and we are supposed to know some things regarding anatomy and physiology as a working base. That's how we can judge if a physician dictates something in accurately and many do because they can't pronounce or just are not thinking. That's why our skills of basic knowledge come into play and that means basic knowledge of body parts. If our job was just to sit there and type without thinking about what we are transcribing, then all patients are in trouble and this is just based on what I see as a QA person.
It's more than just knowing how to transcribe and some of the companies have discovered how to know what your basic knowledge is based on what you have picked up with your experience by utilizing your references etc. Hopefully that utilization of your references has taught you something that does stick in your head.
Beliefs like yours are just so far off base. You have to know what you are doing. It's not just about being able to listen and type. Base knowledge is a very important thing and the services have to find a way to know that knowledge base that is there in your head.
This may be true... and that is philisophically true, but
and pay bills while being screwed? This is what I think the OP is scared of... I certainly agree and honestly think it is unfair to put people in this precarious position... on one hand be grateful you still have your job, or a job, and on the other, immediately there will possibly be a cut in pay, for which you may have to give up your home, or medicine or reduce your budget for food. I don't know if I am the only one, but I think the OP still has a good head on her shoulders and that may be the problem...at least for employers out there who are switching to VR.. and their employees
oops
I meant Transcription Solutions
Have read archived posts about their software being not user friendly. Is this still true?
Oops. SM
Out-sourcing comes up, not offshoring. What does outsourcing mean?

Let's start our own company!!! ... or maybe the OP will take pity on us heehee
oops
Guess I should also know how to SPELL hyphenated, huh?
OOPS! You did it!
The S should be capitalized and DAH isn't a word. Oh my!!
OOPS
OOPS...sorry...was in too big of a hurry. Guess that if people were perfect spellers...we wouldn't need spell check programs FOR THIS PROFESSION. DUH!!!
Oops!
Sorry! I didn't see further on down that moderator had said no posts on OSi for some reason. Guess I missed something that was deleted.

Oops. sorry

I am sigining off and going to bed.
Oops P.S.
IF you are concerned with burning bridges (always a good idea) and/or will need them as a reference, then perhaps you want to keep a lower profile than I just suggested ;) You can still refuse the severance pay and signature, but keep the sarcasm to youself.
Smile.
oops
and, unh, duh, I used to be able to spell the word but . . .
oops me again!
I know, should be sounds. I forgot my S. I forgot to ask, does anybody know where the Axolotl company is located (state)? Just curious.
Oops! My bad! Well, whatever...nm

Oops!
I meant this is the only way to get my foot to the right job by going back to school part-time. So many colleges offer online courses that you can do from your home, but of course you have to go to the actual school to take your tests like in math, etc., so you do not get caught cheating. It's really worth completing your education these days. I figured my daughter will be able to come home on her own in about 3 years, so I should be able to find a decent job by then rather than making 6 or 7 cents a line as an MT. I cannot get anywhere with that kind of money.
oops
oops - I think I posted that backwards - you should make more doing the 55 line - sorry!
Oops!!!
My fault, excuse..

oops...sm
Sorry, I missed that (lead) part.
Nah, when someone says they will call soon, I would keep them to their word. I now work for a company who types for the hospital I typed for, so I'm good
Oops!
I meant to say if you ARE a professional. In other words, the owner is very nice, but a very poor communicator and a bit scatterbrained. I accepted a job with them and the emails went back and forth for almost a month trying to set up training time. She kept forgetting what account I was supposed to be set up on. The platform she uses is great, but she does not take advantage of it fully and does not use the doctor or patient databases, so you will have to look up each doctor manually and enter the information manually for each and every letter you type....such a shame, and definitely not worth the money.
Oops.
Transcend has accounts from everywhere...
Oops, I got cut off...anyway,
the lack of response from HR is disrespectful, IMO.
OOPS
My bad. I failed to proofread. Meant to say:
Trust me when I tell ya that you actually will receive many, many more than 10 unpaid days off per year. They won't pay you to sit at an empty queue, so most of us just take those days off...
