Granted, some people aren't being affected YET. But they will be. I understand people want to hang on to the benfits that come from longevity, and won't leave until things get too hot for them personally. But reading the situations of those miserable folks on the forums there should be a wakeup call, and the forums are the tip of the iceberg. There were at least 6 teammates of mine who were as miserable as I was, and none of them ever posted on the forums about anything. The sad thing about the forums is many of the people there are desperately seeking help from each other, as they cannot get answers OR help from tech support or their supes.

Writing on the wall
I think its time for us all to think about different careers...the writing is on the wall. In NY state every hospital and doctor has to be on EMR by 2008...and I'm sure more states will follow.

The writing is on the wall

If you truly believe what you say, then don't stay another minute. Run, FOR-REST run!

I saw the writing on the wall a month or so ago
When my primary was consistently out of work I hesitated to go to take work from my secondary accts because that would take away from THEIR lines. I got a rather snippy email from my liason saying that of course I should gobble up secondary work, that's what they are there for. But the work was all gone by the time I got to that point. Can't win for losing. I agree w/previous poster; the more accts you cross-train on the more the work is going, going, gone.

I saw the writing on the wall and got out sooner after the buy out SM

It made me sick to see TransHealth become WMX! I loved, loved, LOVED working for TransHealth. I thought management were good people. They even flew their QA staff to TN for Christmas parties, but then that last one was when they announced the buy out. It was disappointing, but at least I got nice weekend trip out of the deal and a few good meals!

I miss the old TransHealth. I would give my I-teeth to find a company and job like that one again.

I feel for you ex-TH-ers who have weathered the WMX storm only to now take pay cuts. It sucks!

Thanks. I felt like bashing my head against a wall
.

It is time to read the writing on the wall and get out NOW!
They are going down and real fast!
Anybody into scrapbooking?(LOL).

Get out while you can. Major changes on the way.

Focus likes to get these little holes in the wall and then kill them.
look at STP and oh heck, what is that other one that wanted me - Lartech - that's just 2 of them.

I saw the writing on the wall a long time ago. Sorry for those who stuck around!! sm
I sure hope you find something soon......my heart goes out to you. Lesson learned, I suppose. When people show you who they really are....believe it.

Wall Street Journal article, October 2004
A friend sent this to me. UCSF heard from an overseas MT who had not been paid that if she did not receive the $$ owed her she would publish the reports on the internet. There was a lot of followup to this which I will not go into here, but why wouldn't this sort of thing still be possible.

Later that year there was a report of a group of MTs in Bangladesh who tried to force a change in their local management by threatening to make transcribed documents public.

After that California was supposedly looking at a bill to disallow sending confidential medical reports overseas as they are not bound by HIPPA. Never heard what came of that.

I still tell these stories to anyone considering sending work abroad. I just wish some of them overseas would be stupid enough to actually pull a few stunts like that and then see how much work we lose.
