Well I am another statistic.  I started at Milner Voice and Data back in June.  Things started getting very slow about 4-6 weeks ago.  I asked at least a dozen times what was going on and got the answer nothing it was just slow.  I even turned down another job because they told me it was going to be ok and this was normal.

Monday morning I talked to my supervisor and she said nothing.  Molnday afternoon I went to get into the system and couldn't get in.  Went and checked the mail before I called them and got a lay off notice in the mail!  What a way to notify someone especially when I had been asking for weeks.

Excuse was that the bigggest account (not mine) lost 60% of their volume when the hospital decided to not dictate the ERs because of budget cut backs.  Because of that, other MTs taking my work.  Apparently 9 of us were laid off.

I understand cut backs if there is no work, but I DO NOT understand lying when I asked and asked and asked some more.  Because of all this, the place that offered me a job, hired someone so Milner cost me a job.

O well, I have an interview tomorrow at 2 with another company.  We will see! Really bad way for company to treat MTs.   Stay away from this company and TB!

SmartMed employees received an email about 3 weeks ago that there would be layoffs and/or cutting back on benefits, but no subsequent followup email, so we don't know if the layoffs have occurred already, or if we should still be waiting for the other shoe to drop.  It's a wonder we don't all have bleeding ulcers (no matter what company we work for).  There just doesn't seem to be any respect for our skills or the difficulty of the job.  We are just numbers on a spreadsheet. 

I know this won't be a popular sentiment, but as far as I'm concerned things starting going to hell in a handbasket for all of us with the advent of the Internet.  When you had to go in and work at a facility, be it a hospital or an MT company, they knew who you were.  They had to see you everyday and work with you.  You really were a part of a (visible) team.  I truly believe that made it more difficult to just be let go without a backward glance.

QA people, some of which were hired only a few months before they were fired, and they just now fired a lot of their upper management.  Something is in the wind at Focus and it smells like crap!  Don't work there.  If you do decide to ignore the warnings, don't believe anything they tell you!  They lie to you right up until they call and fire you.

Anyone work for or have any information on ProScript???

I've never piled up the lines so easily.  My account has very few ESLs.  Email if you want to talk.

I applied to a company called Proscript months ago, and was told they would love to have me on-board in March, which was great for me as who wants to start new work during the holidays.  Now that it's almsot April, I thought I'd check back, but I'm confused:  I can't find the web site that had the phone number, only the one linked below.  Do they off-shore?  I thought the recruiter I spoke to said they definitely did not, but I also found this:

I just accepted a position with them; worked for them years ago when they were DDI, before the Q bought them out; nice people to work with, good pay and benefits; don't know what their accounts are like now but can't be any worse that this!

See message below.  Today is my last day with this company.  They are the BEST and NICEST people to work for, but their platform is the worst I have ever seen, and I have been in this business 30 years!  You will make more money to go to McDonald's to work!

I have worked almost 40 years as an acute hospital Tx/QA. I am highly respected and have always respected my employers, (hospital or service) until now. ProScript has turned from a friendly employee supported service into a company (in my opinion) of bottom-feeders. After working for them almost 5 years we discovered an error in my pay (I was an employee). I contacted them and the VPO called and said I would be paid within two weeks. Then one lie after another - six weeks later I had to file with the State of California to get my wages. My hours were cut (IMHO as a payback) to 29 a week forcing me to quit. I don't know about you - but, anyone who lies to me especially about my money is not trustworthy.   I could go on and on about the quality of work product and others but bottom line is they cannot be trusted!  I still believe a person's word is their bond.
