Don't be too shocked by Christmas layoffs and firings

First continually and rapidly cutting our pay to nothing while we had to retrain on numerous systems, then mass layoffs of seasoned employees, even CMTs AND newbies, now they're trying this week to create reasons to let the rest of us go. I think it's past time we look into A.) a class-action lawsuit and B.) go public with our outrage! They cut our pay to nothing but continue to charge their CLIENTS too much so they lose accounts to MedQuist and start treating US like dirt? ...

BEST WISHES for the holidays ...

I was considering going back to MQ because my current job (which I love) is going bye bye (very small local company). Now I am wondering what the heck is up???? Why are they doing this? ...

I was curious, so I just looked at the program for medical transcription on Kaplan's website to see what it was about. I was actually curious if they said anything about one being certified upon program completion. Oh my goodness - the program is an associate's degree program, 90 credit hours, at $371 per credit hour. The total cost of the program is $33, 390. That is criminal. Simply criminal. I guess the cost is so high because Kaplan is a private ...

I got an e-mail from someone in management today regarding a post on this site! It seems our identities are public knowledge! VERY DISTURBING! ...

I suspected she would be, but hoped against all hopes that my TSM would not be fired. Not only was she fired, but they did it in a cold, calculating way in a 5 minute conference call and once she hung up she was left with nothing. No insurance. No job. No offer to even type for Nuance. The only TSMs that were fired from my original company were the TSMs who were fighting for us or basically "wouldn't kiss ass." She told me that she had hoped and prayed he ...

Amazing, really just amazing. ...

I'm surprised there is no thread about the America's Pride firings last Friday. I've been with them for years, and for nearly two have been unable to get any decent work. Over a year ago I was put on a new account that they promptly lost. The other account I had transitioned to mostly VR with only a few jobs coming in. When I asked to be added to other accounts, I received no response. Recently I asked to be on the new DC account, then got a rather vague email saying that DC woul ...

MTs have been leaving this profession in significant numbers in the last few years due to the pay, the lack of work, companies going out of business, voice recognition, and especially at MM with audits, performance management, firings, and disgruntled employees. At the same time, you seldom see or hear of new MTs signing up and going through the schools to get certified. The New MTs board is a good indication. You also seldom see advertisements these days for MT training (for g ...

NTS (Nuance) who stole Christmas.....My version......We all know the tune, replace The Grinch with NTS (fits better sound-wise)...NTS = Nuance... You're a mean one, NTS.... You really are a heel You're a Monster, NTS.... You're heart's an empty hole You're brain is full of spiders, You've got garlic in your soul, NTS......(drag it out here!) I wouldn't touch you with a......39-1/2-foot pole !!!!! You're a foul one, NTS... You're a nasty wasty ...

Unless I missed something, no one has said if there were specific regions where many MTs were laid off. Perhaps MM is going about this region by region. I am a Tier 3 part-timer and have not received a call. Of course, my mgr said it was all a rumor -- yea, right. I agree with those who said we are being replaced by India. I'd love to know MM's timetable for this -- and their thinking behind who goes here and who stays. I have had more than enough work from my primary account ...

I know this board is consumed right now about the layoffs but I have question. HAD to call Support yesterday and today, and was told that I cannot change my password in Ipswitch. He said only the techs could do it for me and that I am not allowed to have a personal password!! Never heard of such a thing. My head is spinning after talking to him. Are all you out there able to change your password? So sorry to the person(s) that got laid off. A job is a job and it's always sad t ...

Think I will get the proverbial axe on Monday or Tuesday - Tuesday should be the first day of my new pay period according to my schedule. After the corrective action for low LPH and many other things bugging me - definitely kept asking questions and when one did not answer, or answer fully, went higher, and also to HR. I really did love this job and it makes me so angry and depressed all at once at how things have gotten so awful! I did finally get them to finally acknowledge t ...

I was laid off April 4th. Supervisor was sorry she had to make the call as there was no problem with my work. Had been with company 16 years and worked 7 days a week, third shift, split shift, part time. It is all working out though, collecting unemployment and in school thanks to TAA. Everything is paid for: books, tuition, supplies and if school is 50 miles from home, a gas allowance is available. UE office said I could attend any college I chose and that thi ...

Anyone wanting to discuss the lay offs by MModal and the commonaliities of people laid off, please contact me through the "reply by email" button below or through this board. We were fired because our jobs were outsourced. The person who called and told about this "transition" admited it when I asked. Company loyalty means nothing to these people; they're just big business. I feel sorry for middle management, who probably know they're next to go. ...

I just read that KS is laying off, can anyone confirm? http://www.thelayoff.com/keystrokes-transcription-service ...

from what areas? SA4/South CCM is the same, but one regional director was changed from a guy to a woman I'm not familiar with. ...

I wonder if this is an "open the floodgates" kind of thing and will have a domino effect and more companies (like Medquist) will start laying off, too. Anybody have any comment on this? ...

I think I had posted this on the wrong board. For those of you that lost their accounts at Scan Medical along with me where did you all go. Did anyone try to go with the accounts to the new company or just start looking for jobs again. ...

got an email from amy about all mt meeying on april 17?. i got that email and 20 minutes later board was full of talks of layoffs. just wondering if i got the email because im safe or if everyone got it ...

The layoffs seem to be posts from Evelyn, Liz, Donna, Sue, Lee, Ruth, Pegge, Ginger and so on. Another post stated she talked to her TSM and it was all rumors. I do not mean to offend anyone, but I am part time and have overtime work tonight and for this weekend. Maybe due to people being laid off?? The thing is, I do not work my hours like I should because I am so SICK of this job after being here way too many years to care anymore. I have another job ...

Many MTs are losing their jobs or grossly under-employed due to outsourcing. The salary for many is insufficient to live off of in the USA. These MTs have been very loyal, flexible, highly productive employees that are committed to excellence. How did we get to this point where hardworking, loyal medical transcriptionists are no longer valued as employees by even the "Best Companies?" What can we do to keep MTs in the USA from being hungry and living in poverty level? These ...

Why is M-Modal running an ad for hiring when they recently laid off so many transcriptionists? ...

Has anyone worked where EPIC has been implemented? Did transcription work pick up after initial drop off or were there layoffs? ...

--they're not receiving responses from "peeps" (are you kidding me?) who want to work for 6-7 cents a line as an IC. LOL. I should hope not. ...

Just to add a little to my prior posts on this subject, I invite all of you to search "data complex Utah" and you will be amazed at this gigantic "storehouse of personal communications of every American" that is being built costing billions of dollars. It is about 1 million square feet of space and the maintenance of that building will cost billions too. So MModal monitoring us is nothing compared to the supposed fact that every single thing we do electronicallly (phone, intern ...

With the economy the way it is, layoffs happen. Do you really think that companies like to lay people off? If they lay people off, there is less being transcribed and less being invoiced and less profit lining their pockets. While I agree that email seems a cold way to lay people off, what option did they have? Everyone works remotely, right? If they started to make phone calls, it would've caused a panic for those who weren't being laid off. This wa ...

If anyone is in the Atlanta, Georgia area or in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area who was laid off 2 days ago by Webmedx and is obviously still upset about it, as I am, I think it would be a good idea to notify any local newspapers in these 2 cities regarding the recent massive layoff at Webmedx, Inc. I believe the Atlanta office is their headquarters and the Pittsburgh office is their operations office. I know they also have an office in Brentwood, Tennessee, but I'm ...
