All of you should band together and let THEIR clients know they are cheating you out of your fees, and tell then you will be taking D&L to Court so they can prepared to be subpoena'd. I DOUBT DL client's will tolerate this, and may force DL to clean up their act.
I have compassion for smaller companies for short-term problems, but they did this to me, too, and that was in 2002 (or 2003)!!

Victims?
This strikes me as a real victim mentality. There are crap jobs in every field, and we all have to make our own decisons in terms of what we will and will not accept. The MT field is what it is, and you can either find a job that suits you in this field or go into another field. I sure don't feel like a victim. I just recently changed jobs because I didn't like the changes my company was making. It was tough and took a while, but I kept looking until I found a company that would give me what I wanted. I don't feel exploited in the least.
Any other CHS victims out there?
About 1-1/2 years ago, CHS (Community Health Systems) acquired our hospital along with a large number of other U.S. hospitals, rocketing CHS to the largest publicly traded hospital corporation in America. A few months ago, CHS entered into partnership with Spheris and mandated all of its hospitals that still had transcription depts. to outsource to Spheris/CHS. There were 35 full-time MTs employed by our hospital; many had been there over 10 years, and a number of us had been there for 15, 20 and 25 years. A few were just a year or two short of retirement. Spheris/CHS offered to transition any MT from our hospital at the same rate of pay for 3 months, then Spheris's rate of pay would kick in. Of course their benefits package is substantially inferior to what we had. If anyone didn't want to transition to Spheris, they were technically not considered laid off and therefore not eligible for unemployment benefits.
If only physicians would actually read their reports, refuse to sign them if the quality is inferior, and demand that hospital administrators hire competent on-site MTs or insist on STRINGENT Quality Assurance from MTSOs that do not hire offshore MTs. But alas, this is just a fantasy!

Shut up?????
You must work for KS. All that emotional turmoil that is so obvious there and that anyone who does stay long enough will see for themselves. I have found it best to stay away from MTSO's where the drama comes from the top.
I really wish they'd shut D&L down
It's one thing if an MTSO has a rare problem with cash flow - and is up front and works to correct it.
It's another if their MODUS OPERANDI is to take the MTs hard work and then stall on the payment FOR MANY YEARS RUNNING. That's fraud, and they ought to be drummed out of business.
Shut them UP, and shut them DOWN!

Why don't you all SHUT UP.
People are loosing their TRANSCRIPTION jobs to INDIA and all you can worry about is who gets a better report?
LET IT GO!
To shut her/us up
Just to keep us quiet and entertained for awhile, IMO. I too went through the same exact circumstance when I ran out of work and asked to crosstrain. I patiently waited for the alloted time to arrive, then my liaison informed me that she had forgotten to save 5 jobs for me to train with and the account was EMPTY. I went through this 2-3 times during the training process.
I was so relieved to be getting a backup account that the OBVIOUS problem of there being no work on the backup account never occurred to me.
I think it's like putting Band-Aid on a gaping bullet hole. In other words, going through the motions of repair but much pointless.
Shut up and move on.
Geez.
Thanks. Maybe better keep my mouth shut. (sm)
My main account is one of those with boldings on and off all over the place. Really a pain on ASR work.
Unless this gets to be more than a couple of minutes at a time I will just sit back and consider myself lucky.
Thanks for your help.
I'm with quit and shut up
If TT is someone's only source of income and TT has no work, why, why, why would someone just sit back and wait for the work to come to them. You do what you need to do if it takes 2, 3 or more jobs. Family responsibilities, health, and especially sole earner, just completely idiotic to sit back and wait. No get up and go for these people. Oh, I forgot, they have a child at home so they cannot work anywhere but home.
If we shut up as you suggest....
Duh!
You won't see your money. Come together and get her shut down for good.

I have never been one to keep my mouth shut -this happened to me,and
I told the supervisor, who did put a stop to it. Turns out this girl was assigning herself the good work and the supe didn't watch it. However, I have also heard of other supes who just let it go, and if they did that after you mentioning it, I'd be on my way out the door, for sure.
Me too - the hospitals haven't shut down

Lordy be ssmnger you just don't when to shut up do you? sm
You are doing nothing but shooting yourself in the foot and reinforcing Former SS Employee's point!!
I thought this was mgmt also but kept my mouth shut...nm

Did Ochsner Clinic in Louisiana get shut down due to
Solution: Shut down hospitals on weekends.

If the hospital employees know, then the company knows. Keep your mouth shut and get out.

possibly -- it seems to have finally shut down the endless TT threads ...
I was beginning to think they needed their own board ...
I wasn't following them, but my impression is that they had been going on -- in some incarnation or another -- for several week ...
who would want to work for a company with so many so unhappy employees (even if the internet notoriously distorts just how many people are represented -- since the same people -- particularly the most incensed -- post over and over and over again -- creating the impression of great throngs of angry people)
I have no idea if TT's suit has merit ... just that such suits are not unprecedented and -- aside from unlikely-to-make-much-difference memos to their employees or public notices on boards like these -- represent the only way I'm aware of to defend one's good name.
If this served to educate the many folks here who thought that the first ammendment automatically protected them on line -- then good has already come from this.
I feel your pain! I decided to shut up rather than put up and quit my company. Better places out t
