to work it.  It was probably one of their biggest accounts and they didn't keep it long.  Beware.

How would we know that they lost a huge account? sm
They never communicate with their MTs. 
They lost the huge TN disability sm

account to the Philippines.  Guess TN wanted cheap labor.  I won't be surprised if ALL of the accounts go there.


I am so glad I quit working there!!!


Huge turnover at OSi. They have lost most of their good employees and are
Me thinks this nutcase is asking and answering questions here hoping to get people to apply.

Check the archives here on OSi....bad news!!!
It is not just a slow time....they lost a huge acct and moved many MTs to other accts.......

I guess this explains part of the reason we keep running out of work. My office lost a lot of huge
accounts in the past year.
Diskriter offshores in a huge way, which means privacy is compromised and American jobs are lost

Stop the carnage and quit working for these companies!  Protect your own interests! 


 


Yes, they are hiring because they just got a HUGE account.
Ops and cardiology right now but all kinds of work. I am loving every second of it! :)
that's because Webmedx took over a huge account they used to have. nm
.
Transtech has a huge hem/onc account
.
No clue, all I was told is it's a huge new account.
If it's west coast, that's scary, I do west coast accounts now for another company and they're all horrible.  This one I'm supposed to be doing is on Enterprise platform?
Transtech has a huge oncology account
:)
They are up for a HUGE account in Chicago. I work for one of the hospitals sm
and would be offered a position to work with them if it happens. I am very worried now. The last hospital I worked for went with Medquist and we all lost our jobs. They did offer us jobs but not on the hospital we worked for. I went to this other one and now this :(
what are you talking about - there is a huge backlog on the oncology account....
they are even offering bonuses to help get the work load into TAT. What account are you on and what center are you talking about?
Have you tried to go with the account they lost.
:
that account was lost too nm

account lost was....

I started in September as QA2 on TOA, which is the account they lost.  All the files were being done overseas, or at least most of them.  There was only 2 of us QAing all of these and there was always a backlog of 1500+.  The other QA then got fired and there was only me until they hired a few more.  Then was told all work was coming back to US, so they overhired.  TOA is a big account and there was also another service doing them.  More and more, the doctors were going to the other service.  We were all let go on 1/30.


 


If you are waiting for 1099 from them, I talked to them yesterday and they said the payroll company screwed up and they were getting them today and would send them out today. 


They lost big account. Go to Webmedx with
xx
Somebody must have lost a BIG Account. Feel sorry for MTs (sM)
that might be effected by this.
Anyone know why OSi (GA) lost big account today? (nm)

My experience........they lost the account...sm
this has happened to me so much in the 16 years I have been doing this, when something like what you described happens to me, my first thought IS that the account has gone some place else.
To those complaining about no work because of the lost account...
I wasn't aware that an account was lost because I wasn't on that account. However, instead of complaining about not enough work because an account was lost, you should be thanking DSG for not just up canning your butts! They could have just gotten rid of the ones on that account, but sounds like to me they tried to move you to other accounts in order to keep you on at the company. I guess if you look at it that way, they don't sound so bad, huh? Everyone is always so quick to look for the bad and bash a company and don't think about the other side of things. I'm sure it wasn't their wish to lose that account, but it sounds like to me they are trying to look out for their MTs.
Not much left to sell since they lost big account.nm

Anyone with half a brain knows why they lost the account.
I know why, but I don't understand why.  It is like they did it on purpose.  Why not just sell-out to start with, why let it get to the point that it did and have their name smeared everywhere (let me say justly so).   I know there are still MTs who don't know all the details and I myself probably don't know all of them, but I know lots of details and they aren't pretty.  
The account was not lost. It was fired, if that is what you do to accounts that you do not want. s
I have been there for 4 years. They have not lost any accounts but have gotten rid of 3 accounts. One of them was definitely the one you are talking about as it is the only one I ever saw with such blatant cherry picking by hospital staff. They were not even hospital staff; they were hospital employees that were let go and went in to work as ICs.

I have been a lead and stepped down recently due to family obligations.

They continue to grow steadiily and the changes over the years have all been positive. They truly do value their employees and stand strong on no offshore, which is important to me.

I would give them a call if you do not like where you went. Several have found that the grass is not greener and came back. A few were not taken back, but I find them to be fair.

I do not think that the company is perfect (i.e. no downtime pay) but I usually have plenty of work, get paid on time and like the people I encounter. I get asked to work extra, but that should stop now that there are more MTs on my main account.

They do not overstaff; I am very grateful for that.
I lost an account for taking a few days off
and I told them about it way in advance. Came back to find out I was not needed on the account any longer and they took their time finding me another account to work on. So, like previous poster said, what does it matter the reason....they will either keep you or they won't. Be prepared either way.
Not one account lost in over 3 years. You're wrong. sm
They just chose not to bid on one that went to voice recognition but have had 100% renewal on contracts.
Which is the reason my company lost a major account.

The quality of the work was so poor they didn't renew the contract.   


My company lost the account I had worked on for 5 years. Webmedx got the
account so I followed it.   I have interviewed with about a dozen companies the last year and out of all of them the only ones I considered were Keystrokes and Webmedx. 
I think this could only be done with a huge client base, or a huge number of say only

Medscripts in Alabama

Does anyone work for this Alabama based company? How is it going?


Medscribe/Alabama

Hi All


Has anyone ever worked/tested for Medscribe out of Alabama?


I think she moved from Alabama, not sure...nm
xxxxx
Is this Orion out of Alabama?
xx
Any info on ScribeRight out of Alabama? sm
I can't find anything recent.  IC versus employee?  Benefits?  cpl range?  Anything would be great.  Thanks.
Sure, have lost patience, never lost sense of acting

Has anyone heard of Optimal Readings in Birmingham, Alabama?


QT lost jobs lost dreams
webmedx is hiring but they may already have enough people, I got a job there last week.  No matter what kind of bull you are hearing from management or otherwise is a lie.  The account is gone, please look for new jobs
One would think if 5K was so huge ...
One would not let it accumulate to that.  Only gamble with what you can afford to lose, and letting it get that far was a gamble.  Though, sorry, you only wanted to hear how horrible the MTSO is (which it is horrible) and everything through rose-colored glasses about your friend. 
I know about TT's huge hem/onc
account but isn't it totally VR?  In fact I thought they had 2 big hem/onc accounts and both had gone to VR?  Am I wrong about that?
huge thank you from me, Have done it
and forwarded to all I know. Have already heard back from one senator, and I was the 49th person from Texas to sign that petition. Thanks again. Have you put it on the politics board?
Not small, not huge. When I was there it had 350+ MTs.
x
I think there are a huge number
who lie about their qualifications and experience. The company I contract with has hired MTs who claim to have 10 years experience. Their final product looks like they are recent graduates of IHA who failed high school English.
Because the accounts are huge
Yesterday was a holiday, so many docs took a long weekend. Transtech is not a company to jerk you around, if they promise work, you will have it.
There are HUGE variables
Formulas that MT companies give as average are usually based on average work that a MT is well versed in - which companies do not always make available to MTs then act surprised. Duh. Connections, software, familiarity, accents, account types, etc., etc. are huge variables for production and should be considered. Left on the same work for awhile I used to be capable of producing 2,000-2,500 lines, but that changes if my work is changed or if I'm put on a subspecialty I'm not familiar with. It's why companies that have people on a zillion accounts and are not rewarded for it have unhappy MTs. People making huge counts are usually people who are happily typing away at familiar work. Been there, not there now, and am miserable and burnt out.

It was a mistake and not a huge one...
GET OVER IT! The poster said they were sorry about the mistake twice now (I wouldn't have after the first time), and it's not that big of a deal anyway! What are you this guy's wife/mother/sister or something? I can't imagine getting so upset about a post about some guy you worked with that again was a MISTAKE?

Take a Valium or 12 and settle down, LOL You keep calling someone out for making a small mistake that's is not going to hurt anything or anyone and who already apologized twice! Plus, your getting yourself frazzled over nothing.
TT has just taken on several HUGE clients
That is the reason for the ad
huge insult!!

I agree!  This is such a huge insult to our profession.  I started out with Focus on Edit Script at .04 cpl also, and would recommend them to get a start.  The are other companies who pay a little more, but .04 is usually the norm.  Please, do not go any lower than this.  Focus is always hiring, as many people do start there and move on, but I still work for them part time and have never had a problem with them, despite the negatives I have read.

HUGE APOLOGY DUE HERE
I APOLOGIZE sincerely about my comments regarding Transolutions out of Illinois. All these companies sound so much alike anymore these days that I confused Transolutions with another company (I would say which one, but I believe I've said quite enough)! I'm MORTIFIED to have said what I did above.

To my knowledge, Transolutions DOES NOT offshore. They're really good people, too. The company to which I was referring above is a different company altogether located out of Atlanta, GA.

I don't often post, but I'm zipping my lips for a while. Sorry to have caused this confusion.



That is a huge yes..no doubt about that one.
And since they got their new investors in the last what, year or so, the offshoring has increased. I look for more changes to come as well.
There's a huge difference

The abuse is far worse on-site.  I was pulled to do so many other things it was not even funny when I was on-site.  I'm finally home and glad to make the money I deserved for a lot of years.


E-mails - you can hit delete.  Meetings on-site you have to sit there while they drone on and on...  Boring!  I could get a load of clothes in or clean the litter box out and back to banging out some lines.


Yes the work needs to be done, but gosh it's easier not having to rush to get a shower, head out in the dark in the winter in the early a.m., fight the traffic (none of this is paid).  I'd rather spend that time seeing my children and hubs off to school and work - much more pleasurable...


IMO...  Happy Holidays!


MQ's huge losses
Maybe, as we Los Angelenos say, their karma is catching up with them. Hope so!
