I am in the same boat too. When I started 25 years ago transcription was considered a decent career choice. However, I would not advise transcription as a career.

Im in the same sinking boat
I imagine one day all of this stuff will either be VR or physician generated as a lot of physicians are going to these templates and fillintheblank and a lot of incompetent MTs without babysitters, clothes or transportation just happy as peaches to have a job. Shame on these companies!!!

Sinking ship?
Noticing where I work several accounts no longer sending work...very few new accts also this year. It's a medium sized company, not huge, so this worries me. Anyone who has worked for a co that has fell apart, I wonder what some signs were? A little nervous here!!!!

sinking ship
Could be that they are sending offshore instead......I am hearing that more and more companies are doing this (especially the medium to smaller ones) because of lower rates. Not a rumor but just a thought.

Might as well rock the sinking ship.

Oh please. Now my "age visual" of you is sinking even lower!
What are you, 12? Yep, you sure told me, and I'm sure gonna go away now on this free public forum open for anyone to discuss a company! Yep, I'm gonna go away now fer sure!!

Your boat's sinking just as fast as other MTs' boats.
