If the MTSO you currently work for makes a business decision to off shore work are you supposed to quit? If the clients accept off shoring, then all the MTSOs will eventually do it. Only the clients have the ability to keep the MTSOs from off shoring.

Nothing will change unless we make it change..SM
As long as we accept the exploitation that this MT profession has reduced us to, it will keep going on. The top of this is the outsourcing.... well, get your legislators involved....better yet, the MEDIA. How many patients know their private medical information is being outsourced to halfway around the world? The squeeky wheel gets the grease. Do the patients know that their info won't be sold by some unscrupulous MT (halfway around the globe) to insurance companies, etc., making all this Medical records privacy a joke. It's not just our T-shirts being made in other countries; it's our most personal, private medical information, of which the public is not being made aware of. Not to speak of undercutting out profession to the bare bone. Granted, most US MTs are willing to work below market wage just to have a job, especially in economically-deprived areas, where outside jobs are scarce, and kids need to be fed and mortgages need to be paid. MTSOs know this. I'll bet they'll be the first to lobby against any action against outsourcing. (Wouldn't you be...if you got people to work for pennies while you're raking in the big $$$'s ? Still, notwithstanding the outsourcing problem, we're still going along with all the BS...working for pennies, whatever the client wants, he gets... ever notice how all of the MTSO flak seems to be re. unpaid work...mostly, demographic issues we're not even paid for... bec. It has to be done.. Part of the job... The client put the wrong info but we have to correct it...all unpaid work. Just give me a job with nothing but straight transcription, w/o the unpaid/demo. flak..I'll take it even at the present, absurd pennies-per-line state of the profession.
Tomorrow
you will probably be complaining tomorrow if you can't work because of Wilma hitting Florida, when I see all the other complaints on this board about other companies, I certainly do not have a problem doing 30 minutes of dictation on weekends.
tomorrow
we are to have a teleconference with, if memory serves, the president of Acusis talking about everything.
Tomorrow is another day.
At 4 cpl for 10 hours, that amounts to $7.20 per hour, less than the minimum wage in the state I live in. I am glad you have good days to make up for this.
Unless it is going away tomorrow, sm
I answered the question as it was asked. You also did not mention that the platform will be a hybrid of the 2 and not simply Chartmatrix is going away.
So what will you do tomorrow if they
.
Hi, GP: Tomorrow is another day,' don't go...sm
You know that a lot of posters on this forum enjoy your comments.
Forget and ignore the nasty posts.
I know you'll be back, see you!
Tomorrow I have an Interview for a
Interview is with local BIG hospital, but will work at home. I am looking for questions to ask at the interview. It will be with 3 people. Head MT, HR person, and MR manager. NEED input, questions to ask, what constitutes good pay, etc. I have done radiology before in-house, but no idea where to begin with off-site pay scale.
Thanks for your help!
Call me tomorrow
Hello,
Usually it takes about two weeks allowing for an MT to give notice, our equipment to be shipped out, and you to be trained on the platform. Please call me at the office tomorrow if you are available immediately and I'll see if we can "rush it up". Please call 1-800-205-7047 and just say you all calling concerning the MT ad and ask for me (Liz). Looking foward to talking to you.
Thanks,
Liz
Tomorrow is payday
Are you saying that you have not received your check from last pay day? If you have not, please call HR immediately.
Thanks, Jo...I am going to just ask my lead tomorrow (sm)
As I explained to anon2 above, I am on Meditech with a C-Phone so the ER accounts on that platform might be more limited...but I'm going to ask..Thanks again!
Hopefully it will all be resolved tomorrow and
it won't happen again. Something still doesn't seem right though.
Anyone know anything? - I interview tomorrow - please help!
??
Soon can mean tomorrow or 1 month sm
When I'm reading the OP's post it certainly didn't sound to me like you were going to be left high and dry one day.
I have an interview there tomorrow -
can you give me an idea on the pay scale? what is their system like? benefits?
tomorrow my last day after 10 years - VR
Exactly what I am thinking - tomorrow is my last day - being laid off after 8 years with same company due to VR - The quality is horrible - how can they go from one day expecting perfect reports to not caring about the quality they get from VR - not working for 4 cpl - I'll clean toilets first
Tomorrow being Thursday
I'd ask if you could give them an answer on Monday, unless they seem desperate to get you started right away and make an immediate offer.
Personally, I'd make sure I called WMX before the other interview so I'd have a better idea of how to proceed. If WMX isn't going to make an offer, you'll know going into the other interview and can feel free to accept whatever they may offer.
Let us know what happens :-)
Let's take tomorrow off! While the topic is hot!!
I need a day off.
You know, I would hate for my job to go out tomorrow but
I have a safety net now, not in years past. Am at an age to where if I lost my job, have other income. Others can revolt if they like, not this lady.
Now work for me either and tomorrow.. sm
will be the same since it's the last day of the pay period. I've worked almost every day this pay period while my family is off enjoying their days off without me:( But according to TT, we should wait until Nov. when new accounts come in! HA!
Here today, gone tomorrow
The physicians just started training on VR/EMR a few weeks ago, and we were told yesterday to start looking for jobs. Doctors that I thought would NEVER edit their work picked it up with the speed of lightening.....Unbelievable..
I think we should ALL CALL OFF TOMORROW!!!!
Let them be REMARKABLE without us working for THIRD WORLD WAGES for ONE DAY!!! (For a career, as you say, we were college educated for!)
They're not suffering. They didn't take a pay cut from the FACILITIES. They are cutting us as much as they can to buy up more and more. GREED!!
WE NEED A CALL OUT DAY OR TWO!
Have an interview with Nightingale tomorrow...
Anyone heard of them?? I can't seem to find much on them. I tested with them over a month ago, and they called today for an interview tomorrow. I have no idea what to expect from them, but I do believe they hire IC, and they may pay by the minute. Part-time is only 200 minutes a week.
I just started working for Sten-Tel this week, and so far I like it. Things could change though, so I'd like to keep my options open.
We'll find out more tomorrow (4/25)
We have a conference call about this Ceridian screw-up, and I'll ask specifically about the Equifax thing, but have a feeling it's legit - unfortunately like all the rest of this.
I think I will ask my lead tomorrow...I sure hope so..(sm)
the only thing is, I think it depends on what platform you're on...I am on Meditech and use a C-Phone. I think there might be more accounts with other platforms...maybe ExText has more accounts on them so they are able to give people on there more than one..I don't know how it works but I sure am going to ask. I would love a backup ER account!
Interview tomorrow...what questions should I ask?
I don't want to forget anything important, what questions do you ask or would you ask when considering changing companies?
So far I have:
Flexible schedule?
% of ESL?
Web based? if so, which platform?
equipment needed? who provides?
How often paid? DD available?
Benefits?
What am I missing?
Interview with Diskriter tomorrow...
Hi all,
Can anyone please share their experiences with Diskriter good and bad of how they are to work for, how flexible their schedules are, pay scale, benefits, communication, etc. If you wish to me e-mail, please do so.
I have a phone interview with them tomorrow and they are sending me their test via e-mail tonight to do. I am currently looking into other companies because there has got to be something better than where I am at!
Thanks!
Yes, tomorrow is payday at TT, every other Monday. nm
x
Thanks! Guess I'll see it for myself tomorrow!
Thanks for the info!
Good luck at MQ tomorrow
Good luck to you. I hope you have a positive experience at MQ. I worked for 14 years for them, and I think they are great people to work with.
if I don't hear anything tomorrow I'll be looking elsewhere
not because I don't want to work here but because the electric company won't wait, ya know what I mean?
I'd call the recruiter tomorrow and ask what the
deal is. If you need $$ now waiting until 9/1 isn't helping and my the time you go through interviews/testing with other companies it will be about 9/1. They are hiring lots of people and I'm sure things are chaotic and you might fall through the cracks.
This is happening to me now, due to start tomorrow
with a new IC company paying 4/7 that ignored me once I was told I was hired. After two weeks and my prompting, I am scheduled to start tomorrow. I've yet to get a login or any information. I had decided to take the job mostly to get more updated experience on a new specialty account and hopefully make a bit more money. I'm not so sure about them now. Does the company you are talking about start with a D?
No Texas and will be seeing my attorney tomorrow.
?
I'll get mine tomorrow
The physicians I work for are throwing our annual Christmas luncheon and they give us our bonus checks then.
interview tomorrow with Keystrokes
Any advice or suggestions? Is this company worth giving a shot or are they one of the no-no's? I am in desperate need of a second job at this moment and don't want to make a mistake...
Thanks in advance for any and all advice and/or suggestions!
Thanks for the response. I have an interview tomorrow
and I'm so stressed - not about the interview, but about making a change. I have never done VR and afraid of not being able to make as much as I do transcribing, having enough work, etc. I'm very stressed with my current company for lots of reasons and they have not been receptive to doing anything about it other than lip service. I know I need to get out of current situation, but still the thought of starting over again is scary, plus you don't know how things will work out.
Does KS payroll deposits go out tomorrow? nm

Precyse MTs - Big meeting tomorrow
The big MT conference call meeting for all Precyse MTs is tomorrow. Anybody know what this might all be about?
I have an interview with Softscript tomorrow
or at least I think it is awesome from a local clinic to work as an independent contractor. I worked for their neighboring hospital for 8 years, so I will have the same dictators.
My next door neighbor works for them and I just got off the phone with her and she said they are very lax about the schedule. She said that they don't do QA like the companies do. She said unless your just totally screwing up and the doctors are complaining then they get after you but other than that, they leave you alone. She said you do have to commit to so many lines a week and they need to know when you are on and off the system in case they need a stat done. She said there is plenty of work and she makes between makes in 35k to 40k range a year. I have never worked as an IC before and it does kind of scare me.
Now I am worried. The lady said she will call me next week and have me come in and train and go over a contract. What if she doesn't call! What if she changes her mind! I have an interview with SoftScript tomorrow. I am afraid to blow them off just yet but I don't want to waste their time because I really want that other job. But, if the above scenario happens, then I would need that job at Softscript. Should I tell Softscript right off I have another offer? I have my doubts Softscript will pay that much, but I could be wrong. Then again, Softscript is just interviewing. They may not want me. I have already tested and I take it I passed or they wouldn't take the next step and interview. But, they never said one way or another.
We find out how much of a pay cut on the calls tomorrow.
It'll go the way of the others, no more than 50%.
I start training on Radnet tomorrow
and after looking at the instructions I am a little concerned about the platform. Is it as hard as it looks? Any info in regards to the learning curve would be greatly appreciated.
I start tomorrow with a small company exactly as you
Hope it works out but I've had good success in the past from companies who don't advertise.
The announcement is coming out tomorrow. I heard that they are going to sm
be paying a substantial amount of employee coverage. I was told the 13th by another MT but checked with my lead, and she said the announcement will be out either the 17th or 18th.
You'll have work today, but not tomorrow.
nm
Well then happy new Monday coming at you tomorrow, then! :)
s
Today is not payday. DD will be in bank tomorrow. nm
.
The sun'll come out tomorrow - saw in my bank that it's scheduled to go through then. (nm)
nm
I start tomorrow, I will give my honest ...
take on things. I will let you know how it compares to other companies I have worked for.
phone interview with transportal tomorrow.... sm
If anyone has any info before I interview tomorrow, please let me know. My biggest concer is the platform. I can type 1200 lpd with no problems, but every platform I've tried in the past seems to produce nothing but dinking around all day instead of $$$. Hopefully this one will be different. The test doctors sounded great.
Thanks much,
Debbie
Actually, I just got my paystub emailed, so maybe we are getting paid tomorrow. :-)
If not, I guess I'll just have to forgeo my Chipotle Grill splurge until Monday. Guess my hips will thank me anyway .. LOL
