They claim it is only 15%, but it is more like 60% offshore work.

The offshore swine get preferential treatment over the US transcriptionists. The screen shows there is work to do and suddenly everything is gone but the bad dictators, and I do not mean 10 jobs, I am talking at least 45 jobs at one time off my accounts just disappeared. I thought about changing my name to hari skrishna for a while so I could get some work, but found another job instead.

Can you file a work comp claim
If you are an employee, you can file a worker's compensation claim, and the company has to follow the rules of the state the insurance company would consider jurisdiction. As a former workers' compensation claim handler, MQ is legally bound to have your claim handled wihtout any issues. If you have issues you have the right to go to the state workers' compensation board for assistance.
They offshore work
Some of their people are really nice but they send a lot of work offshore. They care about the all mighty dollar and not the people that work for them....
He would have fun with the work being sent offshore
If WE are going to be nick picked for commas, semi-colons, etc., then what in the world happens to those reports being sent offshore? They don't understand English let alone where to place a comma or not to cap a generic drug name. When then day comes for me to correct offshoring mistakes ---- I will kiss this job good-bye.
They offshore and u run out of work!!!
You will run out of work as it is with them and when they find offshore to cover the account, you will lose all your work!!!!!!!!! They are a lying bunch of theives!!!
It is well known they offshore their work.
They do not hide that, just wondered if it went to 100% now.
yes you can claim all that as SE.

Yes, they do. They claim only 15%. nm

Could be, just like you claim to be an MT. nm

Companies that do not offshore work
Are there any companies that pay a good line rate and are good to there MTs that do not offshore there work? I am trying to help a friend looking for part time work, but she is staying clear of those that offshore..
Any help would be appreciated.
They offshore. That's where all the easy work goes.
All that's left for U.S. MTs is ESL and difficult dictations.
They still offshore. I work for a better company
and they don't offshore.
does not send work offshore
MedScript Services in Florida
the offshore work - BTDT -
Does OSI send work offshore?
If so I won't bother. TIA
THey offshore the good work. nm
It if offshore work. You'd be better off working
at Wal-Mart.
She's right TT does NOT send work offshore.
Never have and never will. The day they do is the day I quit because I never have worked for a company that offshored and I never will.
OSI does send offshore work
nm
Yes. I will not work for companies which offshore.
If we all did that, the companies would have no choice but to come back and give us our jobs back.
Do they send work offshore?
Just wondering.
This claim in your post is exactly why
It is dangerous to both the employee (MT) and the company (MTSO).
Both were burned here by someone who apparently is completely anonymous to either or at least hiding like the loser they are.
Yes and it was not a claim..have proof. Thanks

How do I make a claim at the BBB? nm

They claim to have been in biz since 1992. nm

They claim they do this out of necessity...
as well as for efficiency because they can't handle all of the required work. I'm curious, though, as to what they pay the Indian MTs. If the pay is extremely low (usually 1 to 2 cpl in India), that says it's mostly for the profit margin. I still have yet to see a company that pays an Indian, Pakistani, or Philippian MT more than that or equivocal to an American MT. It's all about the profit margin.
how much of your utilities have you been able to claim?
My tax advisor told me I could only claim the amount of utilities that equaled my office space. For example, my office space I claim is 20% of my house, so I could only claim 20% of my utilities. Anyone else have this experience? Anything I can do differently as an IC? I do deduct the total expense of internet and phone since I am required to have these for work...
Not much. They offshore, too. You'll get all the crap work.
I thought Transcend did not offshore work.

Work for a company that doesn't offshore
Quit Precyse. Work for someone who does not offshore. nm

Wbx doesn't even send work offshore. nm
.
Yes it is true and if you were there 2 years ago as you claim
as well as the "not so flattering" picture of her that was in the company email newsletter at around the same time. Nice try though.
BBB - I think it costs $9.50 to make a claim now
Check the BBB internet site.
If told to do it but not claim it, that is PERMISSION, nm
nm
So if you have a medical claim, the insurance - sm
doesn't pay anything until you've forked out the first $2,000? That's appalling!
You said they claim easy dictators..
Are they easy with a significant amount of repetitiveness? If there isn't...and all they do is talk then as an IC, 7 cents is not gonna pay the rent. If the doc repeats things over and over...then you have a chance.
I had an ESL once who others wouldn't do. However, once I figured him out I found that he repeated 90% of the reports so it was great.
It also depends on platform. If it's in MS Word with an FTP site...great. If they use something like Emdat but don't have the demos and base information correct then your line count goes even lower. Shop wisely....
TransHealth does not send work offshore. Hires only US MTs. nm
time to work offshore hours and grab
all you can away from the 'partners,' eh?
Work for a company that does not offshore. Save our jobs.

I was offered a position editing offshore work that
was also Surprisingly good. I knew without being told that the work was being done offshore as it was not that good.
If I were to go to India, or any other non-English speaking company I would not be able to do the work either, but then I'm not trying to compete with native MTs. If I say I have a first rate product, then I need to be able to prove it and thus far I haven't seen it.
Work for a company that doesn't offshore. Support US MTs.
nm
I have talked to too many hospitals that do not care if the work is done offshore. sm
It is hard enough for the public to understand what we do, much less have them stand behind us in this.
Are there any companies left who don't send work offshore?
?
No need to look. Sending 90% of the work offshore has put money in the bank for me. sm
It has lowered my stress level. I work half the hours I used to. Unfortunately for those of you that have your heads in the sand, there are options for companies now that do not include putting up with what we had to for years from MT's. My accounts are happy because the turnaround times are better than ever and the quality is about the same. The offshore companies have improved greatly in the past 10 years and the quality for some of them is the same or better than some in-house departments. Even my customers are amazed when they realize this.
I tell my customers that the work is being done offshore and guess what? THEY DO NOT CARE! They just want it done fast, done right and at a lower cost. They are happy and refer us to other hospitals who also DO NOT CARE THAT IT IS BEING SENT OFFSHORE.
You are fooling yourselves if you think hospitals will not use a service if they send work overseas.
I just wish I had done this 10 years ago instead of 3.
If you think I can't sleep at night, you're wrong. Quite the opposite. I don't feel bad about sending work out of the country because I am now providing money to someone who might otherwise starve.
As Americans, we do not know what it is like to truly be hungry or need shelter. If we did, we might appreciate what we have a lot more. I certainly do now and to be honest, I am happy not to have to listen to every whine and ailment of transcriptionists and excuses all day long. I KNOW the work is getting done.
They only offshore if the client wants it. Most accounts do not want their work offshored. NM

Doesn't it bother you that they send work offshore? nm

TO THE ABOVE POST - IF YOU CLAIM TO BE SPEAKING TRUTH - SM
THEN GO AHEAD AND MENTION NAMES OF MANAGEMENT THAT LET THESE THINGS GO ON! WHAT DOCTORS AT WHAT HOSPITAL GOT FED UP WITH WHAT ACCOUNT AND ONLY GAVE OVERFLOW!?!?!? YOU ARE SO FULL OF CRAP! I AM A SINGLE PERSON AND I AM NOT A FAVORITE OR A CHERRYPICKER OF THE COMPANY. SO IF YOU HAVE SOME NAMES TO BACK UP YOUR "TRUTH" I SUGGEST YOU SPIT IT OUT. BECAUSE OTHER THAN THAT, YOU ARE FULL OF CRAP!
You made the claim by making your headline say
that is a claim and could potential be called slander. Hope you have an attorny on retainer.
you said ... I am not making any claims. ..... You made a specific claim that JLG was dishonest. I'm more inclined to believe you can't live up to the owner's standards.
I just find it amusing when MTs claim to assist others
If it doesn't bother you, don't worry about it.
They claim "it is so much faster than Spheris".

How very interesting that people who claim NOT to be management seem to know all this is going on?
Out of the 196 e-mails they sent last month with account updates, endless pleas for help until they get new people in place, etc., there was not any real company info. I have been there 3 years and am currently looking to leave. They are hands down the rudest group of people I have ever worked with, in or out of this business. I have had MANY e-mails go unanswered, you are not allowed to IM but they send endless messages about all the work to be done while I am TRYING to work, and forget about ever reaching them on the phone should you need to. I work on numerous accounts that switch back and forth all day long. They want you to shut up and type and will contact you when THEY need something. Let me also add they have tons of ESL docs and very bad dictators in general. The only thing good is that the pay is on time.
