Not sure who it was to, but I heard she is somewhere signing papers. Hope not MQ. Shame that a good company is giving in to the $$$.

Losing 1 large hospital today. Not rumor, fact.
It is on the Eastern Seaboard and low ESL.
Is there way to tell is one's company is being sold? SM
I know the company I work for is in financial trouble. How can figure out if a sale is in the offing? Is cutting payroll a sign?
I won't mention company name. Besides, so many have already been sold, I figure someone here may have some tips. 
Worked for company that was sold
I worked for a US company that was sold to an Indian company. It was truly a nightmare. No one had any kind of plan as to what was going to happen, there were management changes weekly, and in the end, nearly ever US MT was laid off or fired and nearly all of the work was sent to India. Right after the company was sold, paychecks bounced, utilities in our building were shut off for nonpayment, expenses were not reimbursed, and even health insurance premiums were not paid and many people had no healthcare coverage for nearly a month.
When the lady sold her company to..sm
Execuscribe, it went downhill from there. I was hired by them, went through ALL of the testing except the Psych thing.....and then I was told I would be paid 7 cpl and I had to purchase liability insurance. CC....this Denise person must have been your "bestest" friend????
So what do all you QT'ers think: Will they/have they sold the company to them? nm
xx
They sold out to another company a couple of
years ago. Don't remember who.
DRC was just sold to a company called "Acusis".
No, I never heard of them, either.
I think the owner of MT Daily owned a transcription company which was sold SM
to an Indian company, but I may be wrong.
It was a great company before othey sold out to Medquist years back.
Now it's crap.
I did talk to the company today. SM
She is mailing my check via Fed Ex. The original must have gotten lost in the mail. My intention was not to post negatives about the company.... and I do not feel that I have. My original post was to inquire if whether or not anyone else was waiting on a check, as there are some companies that do have problems here and there, whether it be the payroll company they use, etc.
I am sorry if anybody saw my post as a negative about the company. It was just an inquiry, that's all, and everything has been resolved quickly and wonderfully. StatIQ is great place to work and I would never discourage anyone from working for them.
I just spoke with a company from New Jersey today...sm
Rude was not the word for this recruiter...My goodness, makes me think that is the norm in New Jersey. geez!!!
The person who posted the job ad today is the owner of the company, not the recruiter.
Professional MT Recruiting Services run by a woman named Terri is no longer allowed to recruit on this website. However, it should be understood the actions of the recruiter should not be held against All American Medical Transcription.

Wrong Company
You must have the wrong company. The recruiter at MedScribe is not a woman.
You are very wrong. You obviously know nothing about the company sm
or the owner. She gives a lot to all of us, has helped me out in an emergency out of her own pocket and would not let me pay back. Why should an owner give a piece off their company? No one should expect that from any company they work for. I make good money, get paid well for what I do and appreciate the job. They owe me nothing else.
Got a news alert today that Spheris bought Vianeta company. nm

Just took a test today for a company and I am amazed how rusty I am after not testing for years and
years. I had to really think about things again. I guess after you test enough you get used to it. That is the first one I took in about 13 years. I just more or less did it to see how it was. Should be interesting to see how it went because I really dont want to work for the company I just wanted to take the test. A lot of tricky questions in it.
My company rocks. Got an E-mail today from our manager about cherry picking (sm)
stating they noticed jobs were getting cancelled once and sometimes twice by same person and that the more difficult dictators were getting picked over. They stated it would not be tolerated and cherry pickers would be addressed and possibly terminated.
I know this is a huge undertaking and may not always get 100% done, but at least they are aware and taking a stand. Perhaps the guilty people will grow up and take the time to learn those dictators now. We all know that some of those horrible ESL say virtually the same thing over and over.
I am just happy that they, once again, prove they are trying to look out for the MTs and MEs and see that we are all treated fairly and equally. I have been very happy with Webmedx up to this point and now even more so.
All the years I worked for MQ, they knew it happened and I don't think made any attempt to address it. At WMX at least they must be monitoring it or they wouldn't know the same person kicked the same job back more than once.
I knew on day one that the company was wrong for me and you will too
Give it a try..... but follow your instincts... if the bad rep company gives you a gut feeling, run like hell, do not wait long, just bail out.
You are employed by the wrong company

There is so much wrong with that company that 100 years
wouldn't fix it.
WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! We turn down work because so many hospitals are sm
calling wanting a company that keeps work in the USA. The trend was stronger a few years ago before it all came to light about poor quality, the woman in Pakistan who threatened to post medical records on the web, 911, etc. There are hospitals who look for US-only and they are the MAJORITY not the minority. Definitely seeing the tide turn on offshore from an MTSO perspective, both MTs and customers!!!!!
There is nothing wrong with inquiring here for information on a company. sm
A lot of useful information is exchanged here regarding other MT's experiences.
Wrong company??..She was asking about TransMedical, not TransTech

never mind. Wrong company. I should read better before responding. Sorry. nm,

Rumor has it...
Baltimore. Or Colorado. Just rumors, tho. Praying not AMHERST....ugh.
Not just a rumor
It is an absolute fact that they are outsourcing. There was no DD deposit issue just a money issue, another fact. Everyone can take from this what they want, believe or don't, but just remember that when you all are sitting without a paycheck or work, you were warned.
Who's out? What's the rumor?
nm
Rumor - - yes
I am the supervisor of the Transcription Department, and I have only heard rumors! LOL! The administration likes to stick their noses in and make decisions regarding things they no nothing about, and they always mess things up - - TERRIBLY!
They now have our psychotherapists typing their own narrative notes into Ecet, and today they started typing their own treatment plan updates in a program that was just purchased (I knew nothing about it). We now outsource our initial diagnostic assessments to Transcription Connection, Inc. We are still transcribing the doctors narratives and psychiatric assessments. However, I think they will find a way to get these done elsewhere as well. One of the docs told me that in a staffing meeting they were told to make sure they proofed their work well because they were looking to start sending everything to a service, and get rid of in-house.
They do not want to say anything definite to me yet, as they still need the 4 transcriptionists they have (including myself). When they no longer need us, we will be hitting the door I am afraid. I am preparing though. I have been job searching, and I have taken all of my PTO due to surgery, etc. They are not going to take me for anything if I can help it.
I came across by mistake an e-mail path my supervisor sent to TCI, stating that if she was happy with their work they would be getting all of it. I was livid and confronted my supervisor. She lied of course and said that she had to tell the service this to get the line count pricing down. I told her that either way this was very, very unethical, that one of us, either myself or the service, were being lied to.
I am bidding my time. I am not walking out. I am going to ride it out to the end. I want to be able to get unemployment, etc. As I said, I have been with this company for going on 15 years. I have been very dedicated to this company all of these years and they are just going to crap on me. Nothing new in this day and age. Corporate America is out for themselves and no one else. It is all money.
This is probably a rumor about OSI
I am an ex-employee of OSi and did not care for some things there but I believe this is a rumor. This does not sound like something MB would do.
is this a rumor?
nm
It's not rumor...
There are plenty of posters who say they have friends that work at certain companies and offer feedback.
If it takes 3 weeks to get up to par, that's quite a long time.
What I stated above is not false. No one needs to lie about a company. I got an e-mail saying stay away from transportal they are horrible people to work for and load you up after they've sifted through the files all day.
Maybe there are different accounts and different sups or whatever, I'm just passing on what I was told from an MT friend I trust.
The girl told me they've done nothing but hassle her and she only made a little bit of money.
The moderators say to take everything with a grain of salt. Apply away, and then come back and tell us what you think. 
Rumor is they are up for sale
but I have not heard anything more about that.
you said it exactly, rumor. that surrounds KS.

Do not start rumor. (SM)
If you have information, send it to the Administrator or myself and let us verify.
Otherwise, state it is YOUR opinion only.

Rumor? you mean no one has told you yet?
x
This is rumor. Nothing has been decided yet. sm
We are still getting final numbers from 2 different insurance companies. In the past, we have not qualified for a large group policy at a decent rate because of lack of participation. All of the big insurance companies want 50% of the employees to take the insurance and we did not have that in the past. It does look good this time though. We are hoping that the rates come back low but nothing is definite at this point.
Whoever spread that rumor
I've been paranoid ever since the pay cut rumors post - thanks, rumormonger for spreading needless misery!
That's a pretty wild rumor to be
circulating.
Do you know the definition of RUMOR? Sheesh!
You must be a riot at the laundromat! Yackety Yack! 
Not rumor. I know of 3 accounts the last 3 months. sm
I was on two of them and called the hospitals to ask. The last one might be the last straw for me.
It is not rumor - they are! Some accounts want NO OFFSHORING!
It has become apparent that QT is offshoring; hence, very poor quality and the account has noticed!
Good luck in whatever you do!
No truth to the buyout rumor. It took them 3 wks to get

Transtech rumor mill
Just sending this to help clear TT's name as I love working for them. Big boss just sent out an e-mail clearing up this entire mess. People need to think about the potential damage they do before jumping on this board with mass hysteria with very few facts. They damage TT's reputation and possibly keep other great MTs in the midst of trying to make a balanced decision away from TT because of misinformation.
TT does not outsource nor is anyone taking over the company. Sounds like the new company who will be providing benefits/payroll/insurance sent out the wrong/incorrect material, and as soon as TT mangement realized what was going on, they immediately jumped on the situation. We don't live in a perfect world. People do make mistakes ... which is one of the reasons I love working for TT. If I do make a mistake, they don't me like I am the biggest moron on Earth. They treat me with respect. They understand I am human. When a situation arises like this, why can't we, as a group, treat them with respect until the facts are clarified and not jump to outrageous conclusions. 
It's no rumor there is not enough work. That is a fact.
The rumor I heard was that a person with cancer
worked at MQ and got fired for not meeting line counts due to chemo. Do you think the company would verify?
Stop spreading unsubstantiated rumor.
Either show the document or stop this. I'm going to ask the moderator to look at your post. If you've information to show, put the link up so we can all verify it. Otherwise, stop speculating and causing problems.
But rumor mill has them bought by Spheris,

Webmedx created rumor mill
I am aware of Webmedx acquiring new accounts. And I will attend the meeting so I can hear how Webmedx cares about its employees because they make it what it is. Any my quality is what I say, and I have never missed getting my linecount until recently when there is no work available to do to meet my linecount. I have worked endless hours, overtime, stat calls on unscheduled time. I have contacted my STM and discussed this on several occasions.
I am not posting unreal fears. These are realities. The rumor mill has been created by Webmedx and their lack of communication with their employees.
I highly doubt that. This is obviously a rumor. She is much too busy to bother. nm
nm
I agree. Without facts, you're all just stirring the rumor mill. sm
If you really have concerns, ask someone. Point blank, ask L if there is any need for concern! I truly, truly do not believe QT would ever outsource their work! I have never been happier with QT and I intend to stay, so if you want to leave, go ahead; more work for me!!!
