It is an absolute fact that they are outsourcing.  There was no DD deposit issue just a money issue, another fact.  Everyone can take from this what they want, believe or don't, but just remember that when you all are sitting without a paycheck or work, you were warned. 

I am the supervisor of the Transcription Department, and I have only heard rumors!  LOL!  The administration likes to stick their noses in and make decisions regarding things they no nothing about, and they always mess things up - - TERRIBLY! 

They now have our psychotherapists typing their own narrative notes into Ecet, and today they started typing their own treatment plan updates in a program that was just purchased (I knew nothing about it).  We now outsource our initial diagnostic assessments to Transcription Connection, Inc.  We are still transcribing the doctors narratives and psychiatric assessments.  However, I think they will find a way to get these done elsewhere as well.  One of the docs told me that in a staffing meeting they were told to make sure they proofed their work well because they were looking to start sending everything to a service, and get rid of in-house. 

They do not want to say anything definite to me yet, as they still need the 4 transcriptionists they have (including myself).  When they no longer need us, we will be hitting the door I am afraid.  I am preparing though.  I have been job searching, and I have taken all of my PTO due to surgery, etc.  They are not going to take me for anything if I can help it. 

I came across by mistake an e-mail path my supervisor sent to TCI, stating that if she was happy with their work they would be getting all of it.  I was livid and confronted my supervisor.  She lied of course and said that she had to tell the service this to get the line count pricing down.  I told her that either way this was very, very unethical, that one of us, either myself or the service, were being lied to. 

I am bidding my time.  I am not walking out.  I am going to ride it out to the end.  I want to be able to get unemployment, etc.  As I said, I have been with this company for going on 15 years.  I have been very dedicated to this company all of these years and they are  just going to crap on me.  Nothing new in this day and age.  Corporate America is out for themselves and no one else.  It is all money.

There are plenty of posters who say they have friends that work at certain companies and offer feedback.

If it takes 3 weeks to get up to par, that's quite a long time. 

What I stated above is not false.  No one needs to lie about a company.  I got an e-mail saying stay away from transportal they are horrible people to work for and load you up after they've sifted through the files all day. 

Maybe there are different accounts and different sups or whatever, I'm just passing on what I was told from an MT friend I trust.

The girl told me they've done nothing but hassle her and she only made a little bit of money. 

The moderators say to take everything with a grain of salt.  Apply away, and then come back and tell us what you think.   

but I have not heard anything more about that.

Just sending this to help clear TT's name as I love working for them.  Big boss just sent out an e-mail clearing up this entire mess.  People need to think about the potential damage they do before jumping on this board with mass hysteria with very few facts.  They damage TT's reputation and possibly keep other great MTs in the midst of trying to make a balanced decision away from TT because of misinformation.  

TT does not outsource nor is anyone taking over the company.  Sounds like the new company who will be providing benefits/payroll/insurance sent out the wrong/incorrect material, and as soon as TT mangement realized what was going on, they immediately jumped on the situation.  We don't live in a perfect world.  People do make mistakes ... which is one of the reasons I love working for TT.  If I do make a mistake, they don't me like I am the biggest moron on Earth. They treat me with respect. They understand I am human.  When a situation arises like this, why can't we, as a group, treat them with respect until the facts are clarified and not jump to outrageous conclusions.   

I am aware of Webmedx acquiring new accounts.  And I will attend the meeting so I can hear how Webmedx cares about its employees because they make it what it is.  Any my quality is what I say, and I have never missed getting my linecount until recently when there is no work available to do to meet my linecount.  I have worked endless hours, overtime, stat calls on unscheduled time.  I have contacted my STM and discussed this on several occasions.

I am not posting unreal fears.  These are realities.  The rumor mill has been created by Webmedx and their lack of communication with their employees. 

Really, before you seem like you are totally unhinged.  You are an example of why no MT would/should want to work at SS. 

Now, put down the mouse and back away from the keyboard.  You are frightening us.  Seriously.   

Companies using other companies has got to STOP!   They are taking from our pay to supply an employee.  What is happening to this industry?  These people shouldn't call themselves a Transcription Company, but instead an Employment Agency taking our pay.  Totally ridiculous!!!   Just say NO NO NO!!  If you work for the company they are hiring for, you get $15 an hour, but as a QA for TTD you get 0.03 cpl for the same accounts, same hours and same job?  Not right, not fair, NO WAY!

I know for a fact that SS now pays for spaces. 

I have worked there for over 1-1/2 years and the most a paycheck has ever been late was by 2 days, which is 7 days after pay period ends.  I know other nationals that ALWAYS pay 7-10 days after pay period ends.

The "nasty" emails you refer to make me wonder if you are one of those people who cry at work.  The emails are aimed people not working their schedule.  If that doesn't pertain to you then you ignore the emails.
