Softscript mismanagement - Poppy


Posted: Oct 11, 2009

Sounds very possible that SS will go the way of TRS and MDI.  The posts below sound eerily similar to the TRS and MDI sagas.  If I were a betting man, I’d wager that, like TRS and MDI, the company will fail/sell out and be absorbed by a bigger one.  Bob and Dorothy walked off with millions, and it would not be the least bit surprising if SS executives did too.

 

Out of work with SoftScript - confused

Posted: Oct 8th, 2009 - 9:17 pm

I find it funny how SoftScript is hiring on mtjobs.com when the current employees are out of work even with as many as 4 accounts!

I agree - dsauverwald

I am also an employee/IC with SoftScript and constantly find myself without work. I do find it frustrating that I have seen them advertise for job openings when they cannot even keep their present employees busy. I enjoy working for SoftScript, but this is definitely a flaw.

Work is low and it is killing all of us. Who knows! nm - Tired of being an MT

Management "forgets" that we give them a schedule that we are supposed to "adhere" to. We are to work that schedule "no matter what!" Now, there is no work. We are supposed to flex from that "stringent" schdule. Okay as long as work is low. Not okay if we need it occasionally. Again... have heard the "census low" excuses. Too tired to listen anymore because excuses do NOT pay my bills. And just an FYI - been with SS a while and thought for the longest they were a really good company.

 

SS out of work - frustrated

I have been here over 5 years and OOW mostly since Sept 1...called and asked why, "economy" reasons...and in the meantime i'm looking at utilities getting cut off - you can't tell me out of 6 accounts i'm on that there isn't ONE sick person getting treated. BS

Perhaps this is a pattern for them. They hire constantly because there is a ubiquitous turnover due to MTs heading for the hills.

 

Too low, & wait for work! Base pay 8 cents/line.1080 lines/day= $10.80/hr - .

several ads last 1/2 weeks, now it is for pathology MT.

 

SS and running out of work - Old MT

Posted: Oct 9th, 2009 - 10:15 am In Reply to: Out of work with SoftScript - confused

They probably overhirer (is that a word) assuming people will leave. From the posts on the boards it looks like every place is slow and they still keep on hiring. Could it be the more workers, the less meet their quotos and the less they have to pay. It's business to them - they seem to forget we have mortgages, car payments, electric and food bills that are there to be paid!

I like it better. Open up one post and it is all there. Instead of clicking and clicking to get through the entire conversation. I like this a lot. Agree?

New Management Or MISmanagement?
Feb 19, 2014

Ever since getting a new COM, we've had no work. It started out slowly, but now it's every single day for several hours constantly in the morning and then intermittently throughout the day. All of our accounts are now overstaffed. I'm profiled for 5, which is VERY difficult! Are we supposed to sit here all day trying to work? How can this not be obvious to the COM's boss, whoever that may be? ...


MModal Mismanagement
Mar 24, 2015

I offer free office space to a long-time friend and MT/Editor. I've watched and listened to the ups and mostly downs of MModal. I've also spent time over the months reading this board and seeing similar complaints and events that are comparable to my friends experience. Bankruptcy can happen to companies and corrective action taken. However, when you have consistent CEO and top management turnover something is up. The latest and greatest fearless leader, one week into their job, init ...


Total And Complete Mismanagement

Have everyone work on the weekends so there's work come Monday morning. Spend entire days Monday through Friday, 10-16 hours per day, trying to get work, but only being clocked in for 6 to 8. But if you're anything higher than an MLS, you've got it made. You can adhere to your schedule AND have a life. I wish I could write how I really feel about these wage thieves. ...


IC For Softscript?

Has anyone ever been an IC for softscript?  I ask because I read the complaints that employees had, that they had to make up sick time and they're not at all flexible with scheduling.  Being an IC would seem to solve that problem.  Also, what sort of line count do they expect? ...

I have noticed a significant decline in my line count with Softscript ever since their blooper that happened on MT week.  I dont really understand how that has affected my line count so much but I used to type 23 jobs and get about 1000 lines.  Now I type 23 jobs on the same accounts and get 700 lines.  Something is wrong with this picture.  I am looking for another job, I just feel like I'm wasting my time. ...


What's With SoftScript?

I noticed that every now and then that SoftScript advertises on the MT Job board for a pathology transcriptionist.  I tried applying for that job once, but they said that they wanted "recent" experience and the last time I did pathology was in 2001.  And yet, they keep advertising for that position.  What's up with them?  Can't they hold on to any help?  On the surface, it looks like they have a high turn-over rate with that position.  Am I missing somethi ...

Are There Any Softscript QAs Out There?
Jan 22, 2013

I've not been working for SS very long and have been doing QA for them. I was wondering if anyone who reads this board is a QA, or has been a QA, for SS and, if so, do they audit you? How strict are the audits? What happens if you don't make the score? I have a friend who used to work for SS a couple years ago and she said that she quit because the audits were "nitpicky." I'm just wondering if I need to be concerned about that at all. TIA for the info. ...

SOFTSCRIPT AT IT AGAIN!

SoftScript has bait and switch listings up again.  Please take a minute and read over recent posts regarding SoftScript's techniques to employ MTs.  How many mentors and Q coordinators can they really need?  They post these fictitious positions, hire as many people as they can for these positions, and a few days after being hired, no one will be the "right fit."  At that point, all these people will then be asked to leave or stay on as an MT.  PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR ...


Seriously SoftScript???

Oh my goodness!  I cannot believe SoftScript is still running their bait and switch scam.  They have posted jobs for trainers, mentors, Q coordinators, and managers at least a dozen times in the past month.  Once again, this is just a sham to get MTs!  Please don't fall victim to their deceitful misleading job postings.  I did, as well as several other people I have been in contact with.  We were all hired for one of these positions, and within a few days of st ...
