Not my C-phone account. Just got a backlog report
x
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?
According to Allstate, they have a new account and have over 1500 jobs in backlog, is this not true?
What's the real scoop?
Which is the reason my company lost a major account.
The quality of the work was so poor they didn't renew the contract.
Are you looking at same backlog I am? sm
There are literally hundreds of jobs available now on a number of different accounts. What you need to do is discuss with your STM getting on some of these accounts.
At least you can see the backlog report
NM
You are SO right..the least backlog and emails fly. Overstaffed now for sure. nm
nm
Or what about when you get the e-mails that there is too much backlog and D will have to hire..sm
more MTs if you don't get it cleaned up and then you dial into your 3 accounts only to hear requested dictation completed. I don't understand this and it is very frustrating and
Did anyone else stop getting backlog emails?
Usually get an email from the account liason in the mornings plus backlog reports through the day and then suddenly I get no email at all from them. But I can still log on and work. I know they were changing the email system and I got the email last week sometime I think asking if they had the correct email address, and to let them know if not, but then I stopped getting emails!
Why is that Rah Rah? Don't you check the backlog page?
I get tired of ppl who shoot down every positive post when they are TRUE....
Discharge Summary Backlog
work. Did anyone apply for it?
...always a backlog by the client. If it ever gets cleaned up, you have no work for that day. This

For some of us, it can last all day. Just look at the Acct Backlog page, especially on the weekend.
Maybe we all have the same supervisor. Don't know. Can you have accounts that are under more than 1 STM?
The backlog page doesn't always show all the OT - sm
Beg to differ - my STM just send her daily update saying you could work extra on about 6 different accounts. I saw another STM this morning saying the same thing in her update. So sorry if I offended you.
One person's experience is not everyone else's. If you are limited to only radiology, no wonder you are out of work.
Low work?? Hmm - check backlog page - lots of OT offered right now. nm
Are you on the ChartMatrix side mebbe?
I'll check that our. I mostly stare in disbelief at the Acct Backlog Page.
Disgusting. I'm disgruntled, too. Just got an E-mail asking for help from some newbie on my secondary on which there are only a couple dozen jobs. My primary is out and my STM will not give me a 3rd. I had a 3rd, but we lost that hospital in June. Sick of it.
I have to believe there are some major problems
Some key players resigning and all the messing with wages. Makes you wonder. I have quit so I don't have to worry about it.
Wow, that's a major change.
They used to pay $10.00 per hour for the first 90 days and then put you on production. Yikes.
holidays--major ones. sm
Doesn't matter to me--with all the overtime available at Amphion, it's pretty easy to whittle down using PTO to a couple of hours instead of 7 or 8. But more importantly to me is that as long as I don't have to work the major holidays that are most important to my family--Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Year's--I'm a very happy camper. I was an IC for a long time before Amphion and was able to take my very first vacation in 5 years last year.
It just depends on what is most important to each individual. 
They are not a major company, to say the least. sm
For a small company like that, that is probably a good starting rate. Where did you graduate from? Webmedx takes new graduates for more than that.
I think there is a major flaw
in your thinking when you say something like DRC would allow themselves to be smooth talked by a company. I just think that is a very odd thing to say. On the other hand, go on your merry way - it might mean more work for me! And if speaking intelligently and rationally or seeing a bigger picture makes me sound like management then I guess it's better than sounding like someone who has given up on their job before they even know the reality of what is to come or someone making blanket statements and judgments that do little except invite more of the same. I don't know the future. Acusis may well be the new Evil Empire, but until that is revealed to me personally I opt not to assume it to be the case. I guess optimism is a luxury I have; to each his own. I have no fear of finding work elsewhere with my numbers, I just don't see the need to quit before anything has started.
Sorry - its just that I have a major problem with -

12,000 lines? OMG - what a major RIP-OFF!
Most other companies have a minimum of 5500-6000 lines. How dumb does that company think MTs are? Whatta buncha c__p.
Yep, just one more of the lies. Major
account was VERY unhappy when they found out work was going to India, which is one of the main reason they lost it. See what it cost them in the end though.
Yes, the 6 major holidays, but...sm
...usually there is no work at all. I was told that this depends on the account though. And your rate is x1-1/2 is paid for work done on the 6 major holidays.
major transition
I just stopped working for them a couple of months ago and there is a lot going on. It is true that a lot of American QAs lost their jobs, but now the Indian team leads are losing their jobs and they are bringing in all American tead leads and management. I do not believe they are headed for bankruptcy, but just going through a major transition.
Major Vent - fed up
I have been doing this for 12+ years, and I have decided this is a stupid and impossible profession. An MT should not have to go over and over voice files to hear and understand what at doctor says 3, 4, 5 and 6 times to understand what he is saying. If you do, that means he is not interested in making sure you know and understand. This really hit me today. IF a person were talking to you, would you have to ask him to repeat himself over and over again if he really wanted to talk to you? More so for patient care. If a doctor actually cared about making sure that the patient's information was accurate, would he take such risks that the person on the other end would not understand what he was saying?
major vent
I especially like the PAs who mumble and don't even know how to pronounce the medications and believe they are actually MDs
major vent
What's really fun is when they spell the really obvious words and then slur the important ones! Gotta love the docs!
Major pay-cut was one of the "shenanigans".
I agee, but the new accounts are major
They certainly don't want the new MTs they hired to change their mind, so a mighty nice incentive to stick around. I agree compensation should be offered, but at least we will have more work than we know what to do with once the new hospitals get their technical problems fixed.
like I said below major abuse of power
only 2 account coordinators worth their salt, if they cake walked into their position they are on a power trip and don't know what in beans they are doing, QA is just a mess that is pathetic esp. the upper crust there.
They lost some major accounts, one to
voice recognition and the other was overflow work but still it's gone. THey are hoping site 120 and the clinics that go with it do not work out with voice recognition since a lot of the docs were hard.
After 18+ years I'm suffering MAJOR
burnout and my production has suffered, but I still am able to support myself and my family (My DH works so I don't have to, though I have been sole support in the past). I am not a job hopper. I was with one company 13 years and only left because they lost the account I worked on and I didn't want to do clinic work. I've been with my current company almost 7 years, so things were different then. I do make more than most MTs, though I haven't had a raise in 5 years and a few benefits have been taken away. This past Sunday Parade magazine did a series on what people make and I make almost twice what a medical secretary was making (and I don't work 24/7 either).
I won't say my company's name because they aren't hiring and haven't hired in about 2 years, simply because there isn't any turnover.
after each major upheaval through the last few years...
their numbers of MT have dwindled. For people just starting out its probably okay because you do not have anything else to compare it to. Like what used to be there is no longer. You can't judge until you walked in someone else's shoes.
Major turnover with new pay scale...
hmm...I wonder why!
I work for them - no major complaints
Take the negatives with a grain of salt... they have been very fair with me and *never* miss a payperiod.
it is major medical coverage at best
affordable maybe
I'm not management - major staffing changes and
growth just in the last week alone - all for the better. Just be patient and it'll be worth your while. You won't be disappointed.  I'd give it another day or two and call them just to follow up.
Keystrokes is the best so far in my long and varied career! 
All the major ones do. Go to Job Seeker's board,
they tell you their benefits.
I understand some of their major accounts are going to VR.. sm
so you may want to reconsider applying.

The major companies in my area
They announce the lay-offs, which is what usually makes the news, but then employees continue to work for 60 days.
major mixed messages!
I think Larry must have left that one out in the conference I was in yesterday. It is hard to know if issues are purposefully being clouded (so we don't leave right away) or if like you say, they just really don't know. I would like know to the truth about whether CB, DJ, etc did only find out a few days ago. I guess ultimately it really doesn't matter does it.
Yes, and even if they are saying IC and SE are available, you are right, everything is followed with the foreseeable future disclaimer, or I think or I believe. I know with MQ, eventually SE gave way to IC which gave way to total employee no choice, stay or go. .... ....
Nice people, but they need a major upgrade.
:(
Shortage of work has been a MAJOR complaint....
with all 4 MTs that I know who work at MDI. We are all trying to stay loyal to them, but it seems as though no one is listening and they just keep hiring!! If you have work, you should be counting your blessings, but it is only fair to let those people seeking employment at MDI to know what a lot of us are experiencing.
not a major company - woman owned
around 100 employees but not positive
major lack of communication, which is nice if you...sm
want to be left alone, but sometimes you need an answer to your question. Work load is like a roller coaster, up and down, which makes it hard to make line counts.
Are there any companies that don't work the major holidays? nm
s
Oh poop! Major weenie shrinker!
I am so sorry--they lost a helluva worker and I'm sure they are kickin' their behinds over it. I wish you all the best though, you deserve it! Please keep in touch--ya know how to reach me!
Not to mention the major software slowdown
