Anyone heard of any Spheris mergers going on?

HOT OFF THE PRESS SEE BELOW Transcend Submits Bid to Acquire Spheris ATLANTA, Apr 09, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- TRANSCEND SERVICES, INC. /quotes/comstock/15*!trcr/quotes/nls/trcr (TRCR 17.43, +0.13, +0.75%) , the third largest provider of medical transcription services to the U.S. healthcare market, announced today that it has submitted a bid to acquire substantially all of the assets of Nashville, Tennessee-based Spheris, Inc. and the stock of ...

We now know all too well, either from our own experience, or from the experiences of other MTs we've been reading about here, that mergers DO NOT benefit the MT. They promise us we will still have our jobs. WE WON'T. They promise us we'll make more money on their spiffy new software. WE WON'T. They promise us our cpl will not go down. IT WILL. They promise us the MTs of the purchased company will more work. WE WILL MOST LIKELY HAVE LESS. (Or ...

As a current DTS employee and having gone through a merger before, being acquired by MQ from a different company, the merger was not good. I am hoping that things will be different this go around, but it just does not look promising. Everything they promised and said would not change did change. We did not take an actual pay cut, but changing platforms provided their means of a pay cut. I went from making excellent money a month, to struggling to make even $1000 a month.& ...

Can anybody tell me what companies have merged together? I know about Medquist and Spheris, but I just want to know what other ones there are. thanks ...

I just want to say how sorry I am for those of you at TT. This had to have hit you guys like a ton of bricks. iMedX is heavily technology-based. You will likely not see a lot of changes for a several months (they seem to be in the buying phase) but once the dust settles, I would imagine a significant percentage of their MTs will be gone. Technology combined with their significant Indian presence, there just simply wont be the need. I'll be really anxious to hear w ...

MTs who worked previously for companies bought out by Nuance I was wondering did any of you work using satellite internet? If so, what happened when you Nuance took over as Nuance says no satellite? I use satellite internet so I'm wondering what will happen with Nuance when they take over Transcend. Initially, I'm sure I would be able to use it, but if the platform is changed, then what? I'm just wondering should I find another job now that accepts sat. or ...

Have had me feeling as if some of us who have been at Transcend longer were not offered what they have been offering recently, maybe that is why I have seen so many people leave. It was 8 cents per line for transcribing and 4 cents for VR. When you cannot make your 900 dollars every two weeks you are then moved to part time, bennies are taken away and you do not get PTO. I was feeling pretty devalued, but then I thought maybe later on they may tell the new people some excu ...

Hey Spheris MTs out there. I worked for Spheris for a while not too long ago but quit for another company. Nothing wrong with Spheris at all, just love the new company flexibility much, much more. I loved the expander program Spheris used (Shorthand 10.0) so much that I ended up buying the program to use on my new job. Problem is there are so many tips and tricks that Spheris provided for using Shorthand 10.0 that I never got to put into action and quit before I thou ...

Is it me or does it seem like Spheris is a sinking ship?. ...

Is it me or does it seem like the VR at Spheris is getting worse. Also, it seems like it is harder to make any lines at all. Just had to vent. ...

Just wondering. I worked there till May last year and will probably have to contact them to get mine. ...

my friend claims she only made $11000 with spheris last yr. but yet she had health benefits and 401K. how is it she's making so little is spheris really that bad of a company to work for . i've heard so many different stories i don't know what to believe anymore ...

Should we have a W2 from MQ as well as from Spheris? Was just putting my info together to have taxes done & don't understand the 2 from Spheris but noticed I don't have one that says MQ. Thanks in advance. ...

I currently work at Spheris but I would like to find out how things are at Keystrokes. I appreciate any information good or bad. Thanks ...

Does anyone know if Spheris sends their work overseas? How are they to work for? Do they have editing positions? Is the rate of pay any good? ...

That company is in trouble, and it is a terrible place to work. The MTs are very, very nice, but it is not a place to make a living! ...

Had nightmares about my company last night. I was told to go in the office of my boss and do some punishment work. I sat there in front of this blank computer, would not turn on, and something said to sit in her chair, since she was not there, and start opening all the books and do the worksheets about what a bad person/MT I was. Then, she popped up in the back of the office in black. Scary, evil woman! She said terrible things, and just as I kept telling myself thi ...

Is there anyone out there who has worked for Spheris and other large companies? If so, how does Spheris compare? Looking for other opportunities, but don't want to end up in a worse situation :) In particular, has anyone worked for both Spheris and Webmedx? thanks ...

http://nashville.bizjournals.com/nashville/stories/2010/02/01/story1.html?b=1265000400%5E2811471 By closing the curtains on its finances, Spheris has opened the door to speculation regarding its future. Whispers range from a sale to a bankruptcy, with the former gaining steam in the past week after a blogger in India reported competitor Cbay Systems Ltd. had struck a deal to buy Spheris’ operations in that country. Both Spheris and Cbay declined to address the potential sale. Spheris has ...

I had an interview with Spheris yesterday. It sounds too good to be true - more per line than I'm making now, plus production bonus and weekend shift differential? And better insurance too. Okay. I worked for MQ. My check got smaller and smaller as they revamped the bonuses and brought in VR (which absolutely refused to be taught anything). So tell me the truth - would I be jumping back into the same fire with Spheris? ...

I'm not sure if this is a good move for me, especially after reading an article on them that was linked from this board. Recruiter says they have loads of work, but they seem really regimented. Anyone work for them and want to share? Thanks. ...

By Medquist and Cbay. My sister works there and just told me, is on a conference call as we speak. ...

SPHERIS SELLS OUT- ANNOUNCED BY EMAIL TO EMPLOYEES TODAY. SOLD TO MEDQUIST AND CBAY. WILL BE DONE BY JUNE. ...

Seems odd to me, but over on the other website, Sperhis is hiring. Who would accept a position with them at this point? ...

It probably has been discussed already, but I haven't been here in a while. But, what happened with them? Why did they go bankrupt? ...
