I cannot, for the life of me, figure this out.
One would think that an MT with skills and experience would be something of value. The MTSOs and the physicians we serve seem to not even see us as skilled human beings but rather like dull drones, machines without real lives who were created just to just pump the work out without much thought (it is as if they think we do not THINK!). With the ASR game in full swing, this feeling is more prevalent than ever before, at least in my experience/perception.
Why?
Why are the years of dedication it took to acquire these skills not appreciated? Why are they so quick to get rid of us? If our job is so easy a monkey could do it, then why does it seem so hard to me? Why do they think it is okay to not only freeze and regress wages, eventually cutting our pay in half for ASR work?
I find all this very depressing.
My company has announced it will begin switching us over to SR/ASR. I am really afraid this means more work for me for less pay. I wish what they are saying now will be true, that I will be able to do 3 times as much in the same amount of time, but I don't believe that. I am afraid it will turn out to be snake oil. I also think that if they are charging the clients the same for SR/ASR reports, then I should be paid the same.
WTH is going on? :(
(Do the MTSOs the cut rates for us to do ASR/VR charge the clients half as much as well? Somehow I doubt that. They get to pay us half for the same skills/work and make the same, thus THEY get a huge pay raise while we get slammed. Am I wrong about this? I would like to be.) |
