In Reply to: If read up on this because I sm - Read it thoroughly
Sorry, my brain is fried since I only had 3 hours sleep and was up at 4 am to work my 8 hour shift. Could you please explain this so a dumb ol' hillbilly could understand?

MQ board - the cyber watering hole
The Medquist board is a lot like going out to a bar after work with a lot of people from work and shooting the bull (minus the drinks, of course). You fast learn who the relentlessly negative people are as well as the relentlessly positive (as in Pollyana with pink glasses). Not interested in either of those extremes - then don't open their posts, just like you wouldn't sit with such people or engage them in conversation in the bar. There are people who offer concrete advantages to Medquist just as there are people who offer concrete disadvantages. The more you read, the more you see a pattern to both. These are the most helpful. There are people that offer useful tips in dealing with the software and increasing production. No, not every Transcriptionist at Medquist knows about this board, but that doesn't tell you anything about how they feel about the company. It only tells you that they don't know about the board.
The only paid training I had was for the original ASR class. For DQS, I was mailed a VCR tape and an instruction booklet. For refresher ASR classes, it was on my own time.
There is flexible part-time under 24 hours as I am considering going to that myself. Since I am already an employee, I have the advantage of being able to ask my supervisor what her expectation is for that position since the consensus seems to be that the reality of the position will be determined that way. What a new person should expect - quite honestly, who knows?
Best of luck in whatever you decide.
Sure, have lost patience, never lost sense of acting

Man you are out of the loop. I'm sure there are
some out there that pay that, but you'll be hard pressed to find them. You're going to feel insulted when a company offers you 9 cpl as an employee with 20 years of experience.
You have obviously been out of the loop SM
and are not a member of the organization, or you would have known that the name changed quite some time ago. If you are not a member, why are you looking to them to serve you?
You bet it does. Apparently, you have been out of the loop sm
for a long time. Go work in a hospital office and see the brown nosers there. How about an insurance company? All sorts there. Better yet, go to a bank. How about some of the major corporate offices? They kiss butt all the time and even do "other things" to get to the top. Get real and get used to it. This is life. I like to come to this board and see your "holier than thou" and "poor me" attitudes and make total idiots of yourselves. It makes for great entertainment. I definitely would NOT want to work alongside the likes of you. No wonder your job didn't work out. Nobody likes catty transcriptionists. Pull in your claws.
E-mail loop says
they are offshoring work now! Just FYI.
You're definitely out of the loop (sm)
they have never outsourced to another service that I know of. I agree on missing J. He was great. An email went out about that, tho.
I am completely out of the loop.
I think the new payroll company keeps overlooking me, and often I have to ask for information that seems to be sent to everyone else (For example, my benefits paperwork wasn't sent until I asked for it.) I will have to ask again to have the 401k info sent to me. I have no paperwork on this. Did you get anything yet? What is the deadline for cashing out? TT hasn't given us info yet on their match, have they?
out of loop - how hard????
I've been on medical leave and can return to work only to do
VR. How hard is the platform and to get the lines? Training? What are they paying on the VR stuff? Does anyone know if the ML (PA) account or the SR (AZ) accounts have a lot of VR?
Well I still feel out of the loop
I never even heard any rumors to call and ask about.
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
I guess I am out of the email loop, too !
No email regarding ANY backlog -- just no work this a.m.
I suspect you're NOT out of the loop
I suspect you just hit a suspected nail right on the head.

to lost at sea
Please, please email me. If there has been a mistake, Lee certainly makes up for it. She takes care of people, but with everything going on, I can help.
Not sure about if they have lost a lot
of people or got a lot of accounts, but they do not pay for spaces (at least they did not a few years ago when I worked for them). Very rude QA at that time.
Lost
I was at a lost today on the call, but it was not far into the call before i knew what i was up before it was even said. I have been looking like mad for a new job today. I have loved my job at HIS and now i find myself scared and worried how I am going to support my 3 children and myself.
Most of the companies i have found only take those with 2 or 3 pluse years. I only have 1 year 3 months in wiht HIS.
I too have shead tears today and said a lot of prayers that i find something before the bottom of the basket falls out of me and my kids.
They lost me
And I tell others to save their money. Why should we support the AAMT when the AAMT does not support us? Let them get their money from India and the Philippines.
They lost me
With a little luck, this will be the death blow for AAMT just like it was for the employees at Heartland.
They only lost the
2 accounts but site 120 also had the urgent care clinic work at 121 and 131 that were associated with a part of site 120. Site 120, 121 and 131 had a LOT of work but now it's feast or famine.
there's no 153/154 either. That's 3 lost.
no msg
They lost everybody!
They did lose a TON of people, including almost everybody in management! Since the SPI takeover, they totally stopped caring about their employees and treated them all like second class citizens! I know that was my experience! I am so glad to be out of that place! I make a ton more money with my new company since I get paid for spaces now, which I did not get paid for at Cymed/SPI!
not really lost
They are owned and run by the Philippines, so they didn't lose anything really. Everything is run out of there now. Boy just try to find out who does what, nobody seems to know anything. It's just awful awful awful. Cymed was headquartered in TN, Spi bought, took over, moved the office, now some chick in Virginia answers the phone with a list of phone numbers but knows nothing or nobody. It's like this huge secret who does what now.
They Lost
DeVenture LOST the case.
I think everyone just was lost on the ...sm
fact that referring to an Asian descent person as Oriental was not PC. I have to admit I honestly didn't know that myself. Learn something new everyday.
That isn't why you lost your job...
No one cares about what is in the medical records right now. Type it and file it and the lawsuits will come down the road... probably by that time, the company will be out of business or in India or feel they won't have to face that.
Hey, aren't we supposed to have a push to reconcile our medical records? Everyone will have a set that they can take with them to each doctor? Gee, what do you think will happen when patients find out exactly what CRAP is in their records. Can you say L-A-W-S-U-I-T? Come on, all together now...
Lost my job to EMR
They kept saying that it wouldn't happen, that they would still need us, blah, blah, blah. Then about a month and a half ago I got called into the office. Myself and the other Transcriptionist were told that as of the end of August we would be without jobs. Now, if I want to get paid at all, starting Monday I have to go in-house through the end of August and work in the medical records department. I'm switching to general and legal transcription. As soon as I can find another full-time position, I'm quitting the MT business. Although I'm sure at one point that will go by the wayside too.
Don't think we lost any........
because of losing accounts. I believe the MTs on the accounts that were lost were just redistributed amongst other existing already low-volume accounts, which helps account for the NSA that we see so often. I think it is good that a company tries to keep employess on if their account goes away, but not at the expense of others who need to make a living as well.
Have you tried to go with the account they lost.
:
There is lost of work at MDI-FL....
Call the office and ask for another account. There are three starting tomorrow. I just got an e-mail about one with a system called Intrascript.
got that and I was one of the ones who lost their job last week....
so I am not in a good mood about the company at all right now. Don't know what they are trying to prove right now, but it is not good.
ex QA mgr lost her job for letting cat out of the bag...
and that is then I found another job as well.
Other lost accounts?
Besides the 120 account and Florida Hospital (don't know that site #), what other accounts have been dropped lately? I don't know about acute care or clinic sites, but ER has been very, very slow for the past 3 weeks or so. I don't know if it is all related to the loss of 120 or if there are others that haven't been mentioned yet.
wonder why we lost all these accounts?
Does anyone know what happened? Why did we lose them all at once?
They lost a lot of us, now, didnt they?
They will realize that  doesnt cut it.
Other accounts have been lost too. It would
be nice if someone would at least tell us what was going on so we can decide what we need to do. I laughed about the Indian signing the paycheck. While they do or did have an Indian working in the office I hardly think they are going to send the payroll to India.
that account was lost too nm

Has TT lost the QA manager?
?
For those who lost their jobs at QT (sm)
How were you all informed about the closing of QT? I hope you all found homes. Good luck to everyone of you going through this.
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.
lost report
Did you lose your C-phone audio? Make sure you have that first. If not, email your supervisor ASAP. To get the transcription back, go back into Bayscribe and pull up the template for the kind of report you were on. Then hit Alt+R and it will retrieve reports you have done or are working on. The first one that comes up should be your report and very little should be lost on it.
Don't feel sorry for me as I have lost nothing nm
xx
FYI, MDI has NEVER lost a client.

What are your guesses? You lost us.
NM
you lost 40% this time.
How long do you think your 401K will last if you lose 40% every quarter? It's basic math. It won't last forever.
Has anyone lost their primary?
What happened? How did your company handle it? Did they even tell you? Was anyone quietly pushed out the door only to find out later it was because their primary dropped?
I feel like I am all of a sudden getting pushed out the door, and I know my primary renewal date is coming up shortly.
Any thoughts/suggestions are appreciated. Any signs that I should be looking for (both with regards to work itself and how I am being treated)?
Thanks
Actually, if I ever lost this job and had to switch
companies, I'd have to take a cut in pay according to what I've been seeing, so I'd be well below cost of living increases... It's the nature of this crazy MT business. Work harder, faster, know more, get more experience, and make less and less and less as the years go on, while the prices of everything keep going up...
They already lost a BIG one a while back.

Lost cause, Cindylouwho
There are some on here that no matter what you say are so dead set against what seems to be right around the corner for them, as in VR, they would argue with a wall on the merits of those doing VR already and not being able to do as good as straight transcription. Old saying, like beating a dead horse. Let them continue staying on with jobs that eventually will change over to VR and then give them such a lower offer, say of 3 cents a line, that they wish they had gotten on the bandwagon before they did. I remember reading a posting about a person not ever going to do VR, she posted here, went to Transtech and oh well, they are loaded now with lack of work and, yep, going to voice recognition. Talk about jumping out of the frying pan! I will let others think as they do but takes a very experienced person to do and do well. No sense in wasting your breath.
I also just lost my MT hospital job due to EMR.
