OMG! Reading all the posts. Who is the suit - trying to do damage control!


Posted: Sep 03, 2010

First want to say I am so sorry for all MT's/QA who were laid off.  How terrible, yet I feel it could be a blessing in disguise because you can get unemployement and TAA and go back to school and get out of this field. 

It is pathetic reading the posts from a suit who is trying to maintain damage control for the WEB company.  The suit is the one who is still getting paid with excellent benefits, not the poor MTs/QAs who have been let go. 

Makes me sick that a suit would say who cares what other people/newspapers think of more layoffs because the country is saturated with people who are laid off.  HEY SUIT!  HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOU WERE LET GO WITH NO BENEFITS RIGHT NOW! 

Makes me sick that this suit could be making anywhere from 60,000 up to 500,000 (maybe a board member posting) and cutting down good hard working employees who will not know what to put on the table for food next week, if any, AND let us all face it, if it was not for MT's these MTSO board members would not have jobs.  THEY FORGOT ABOUT THAT WAY OF THINKING!!!!  Now they like to call it Socialism.  The suits who is making the money and thinking in their disturbed mind that we should feel honored they pay us. 

WISH ALL MT'S COULD JUST GO ON STRIKE AND NOT WORK FOR 2 DAYS AND I WOULD LOVE TO SEE HOW THESE MTSOs could function with out us! 

ALL THIS MAKES ME JUST SICK!  

I for one am getting out of this field of 25 years.  Never seen it so bad in my life until today.  

The suit trying to do damage control is likely - the SPIDER itself. And I do mean "it".

Why do so many make it seem like only a "suit" would try to be positive? It is a horrible situation but those of us who are not "suits" can still turn adveristy into something positive. It is a shame to live life and not love your life, no matter what the circumstance.

There are MT DIVAS and QA DIVAS... why couldn't the Lord have given me a voice like Whitney or Aretha, then I could have been a real DIVA and not worrying about making 7 cpl and paying house and car payments.  To be Mariah Carey wouldn't be bad either.  Which DIVA would you choose to be if you have the choice?  George Michael, Donna Summer?  I mean REAL DIVAS! ...

Why do people keep posting about being fired? I have read posts about some getting fired, but seems like a few of them were months ago, a year ago etc. Only a couple I have noticed were let go recently and they all said it was due to either not making minimum wage or not meeting line counts. Am I missing something here? Why does everyone seem to think we are all going to be fired? ...

After Reading Some Of The Posts, A Thought Occurred To Me.
Sep 27, 2011

We have perfectly good, knowledgeable, qualified, and reliable MTs leaving this profession due to low pay, unreasonable expectations, unbearable platforms, and dictators who are not held to the same standards as the MT trying to transcribe their garbage into a professional legal medical document.  It really is a shame. I am not saying that we have a separate board regarding production, pay, platforms, etc., as I think that is what the Company Board is supposed to accomplish.  ...


Reading Frequent Negative Posts About Keystrokes

I have been reading frequent negative posts about Keystrokes recently.    I had always heard positive things about Keystrokes  in the past and I was initially excited to  join them; however  I was  more glad to leave.   I  have never had any contact with upper manangement so I have no comment there.  However, I had always read such positive things about their "caring" "helping"  etc and I did not find this to be true.   I  also found much deception.   I may sound naive but I was ...

Do You Think This Is From A Suit?
Mar 03, 2010

Don't know what all the fuss is about. If you do your job well, right the first time, you've got no worries. I don't foresee that this will be interfering with me whatsoever! If you want to survive in this business (and I assume that most posters do as they continue to work in this industry) then you have to go with the flow. If this process eliminates weak transcriptionists, then so be it.   THIS MAKES ME MAD READING THIS POST.  So, MQ's process is to elimini ...

The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify ...

* Class Action Suit Against IMEDX
Apr 01, 2015

..has been discussed. I highly, highly suggest IMEDX does the right thing, or some money grubbin attorney will be glad to take on not on IMEDX's obvious and blatant playing with lives, but also the whole industry. Imedx is ripe for lawsuits, and they have deep pockets. Suits, wake up, we have nothing to lose now but a consult with an attorney. You clearly have and are going to continue to violate laws, now do the right thing. Also, you don't want to the Labor Board, etc involved from 5 ...


OPEN LETTER TO NUANCE SUIT TROLLS

Survey Of Interest For Department Of Labor Suit.
May 07, 2015

I've been observing Medquist/M*modal for the past number of years since their previous law suit. The technologies they have employed as of late are widely viewed as intentionally inhibiting, many employees stating that this speech recognition program, as well as constant shuffling of work pools, or "pods" prevent the familiarity that is central to profit,accuracy, and productivity. I intend to gauge the interest and willingness of participation in the current M*modal employee community. Pl ...

They are basically going to make the MT who sends work to QA pay the QA salary?  Is that even legal?  I've sucked it up for a long time now, living with the ASR pay cut, but there is no way I'm going to work for 1.5-3 cents per line!    Back in the ancient times of MQ, we had no QA.  We left a blank and put in a s/l.  We learned from reading tiny lines in big books because there also was no Google and no second ear.  Of course, the dictato ...
