Another one bites the dust. - MT1981
Posted: Oct 21, 2014
Received call from TSM (or whatever they are called now) yesterday that she will be done as of November 18th. MModal is doing away with too many good ones. Don't understand their thinking, we will be merged with another BOB, another quality coach will be added, and a scheduling person. Why not leave it alone! She mentioned all the good things that will come of this, all I see is bad. I tried to be optimistic before, but after hearing this, I am not right in there with all the other pessimists about MModal.
care to give initials? - sm
[ In Reply To ..]I just heard good things were coming this week...My TSM is great, hoping it isnt her.
good things? - mt
[ In Reply To ..]Sure would like to know about any good things!
during the call with my HDSM the good thing was - supposed to be more work flow
[ In Reply To ..]I never, ever run out of work. She said the bad news is it may be accounts I am not familiar with. So glad i won't be transcribing much longer.
She is in the east - MT1981
[ In Reply To ..]first name starts with a G
and last initial is?? - Anon
[ In Reply To ..]What is 1st letter of her last name? My boss's first name starts with a G and we're in the east.
Did she leaving my choice? - sm
[ In Reply To ..]When MM lets them go, they are usually gone immediately. Can you give her initials?
no - MT1981
[ In Reply To ..]they are putting two BOBs together and eliminating her managerial position, sounds like they are changing things up by putting us into "pods" whatever they mean by that.
Are her initials GM? - nm
[ In Reply To ..]x
Yup, - MT1981
[ In Reply To ..]she is going to call everyone to tell them.
Mine told me MM is giving them 30 days as opposed to - letting them go immediately
[ In Reply To ..]so they can get everything straightened out. I have heard they are getting a generous severance package. I would love that during the holidays.
Yes, this is true - notgood
[ In Reply To ..]They are being given time to help train the new manager on all their accounts and to brief her on her new team of employees. From now until mid-November is a "transition" zone that they are no longer our TSM and they are no longer available to us but they are staying on board behind the scenes to help smooth out the transition.
And yes there is a severance package but I didn't hear that it was "generous" (nothing MModal ever does is "generous")... just that there WAS one and that my TSM hoped and prayed it would help pay her bills until she can find another job (outside of the industry).
My guess is - Gigi
[ In Reply To ..]They keep the lousy (or maybe just inexperienced) HDSMs and get rid of the truly superb HDSMs in order to piss off more and more MTs -- don't forget, they want many of us gone.
If they want you gone, they just have to tell you you are gone. - No games needed. nm
[ In Reply To ..]l
This is how they slowly whittle away until - sm
[ In Reply To ..]everything is in India. BTDT with Cbay. MTs leave and are not replaced or are forced out/laid off and supers are laid off, combining us into fewer groups until they have enough Indians trained. Slowly but surely. It's sickening. Deja freaking vu.
Got the same call :( - whatisapod
[ In Reply To ..]x
whatisapod - What was your call about? Can you - sm
[ In Reply To ..]add any more information?
Pretty much just as MT1981 stated in the post above.-sm - whatisapod
[ In Reply To ..]Merged with another group, one TSM in charge of about 200 MTs and customers (I think). There will be 2 quality coaches and then a new totally different person handling the Teamwork corrections and such. So basically 4 people handling the same things that 4 people used to handle, but dividing it differently and eliminating one job/person by creating a "new position" for probably less pay than the "one" let go..IMO.
Oh and we will have/keep our main accounts or groupings, and then the other groups' accounts will be our backup if we run out of work and vise versa..better for us..she says
I heard the *exact opposite* - no more primaries - notgood
[ In Reply To ..]I was told today that once all these personnel changes are finalized that "primaries" will be a thing of the past and that all accounts will be opened to every employee. Specifically, that "books of business" have all been eliminated.
I just read your post above...sound about right.-sm - whatisapod
[ In Reply To ..]Our conversation did not go into much detail...I didnt ask questions either. I just figured like all the other changes with this company, I would just take them as they come and deal.
I hear you ... that's about all we can do at this point - notgood
[ In Reply To ..]It was made VERY clear to me that the goal is for most of the work to go to India, with only a tiny American group left in the primary role of editing Indian work.
I agree with you, at this point there is nothing any of us can do except our best. Everything else is completely out of our control.
Not true, - TSM1
[ In Reply To ..]if you don't hear from a reliable source don't post it, just gets people fired up for no reason.
pod - suzistkr
[ In Reply To ..]Maybe a pod is a small part of a bob.
a pod is what you will crawl out of to do your work - Val
[ In Reply To ..]Remember "Invasion of the Body Snatchers"? The less human you are, the better you are for MM.
Apparently that group was merged with the group I am in. - oh goody
[ In Reply To ..]Don't know how much work is coming, but more MTs are coming. Last time a group joined ours, we were overstaffed.
Which means some MT layoffs, or "performance managed" until quitting. - nm
[ In Reply To ..]x
well when the HDS2Coders go into the CAP program - over 50 MTs will leave the work pool
[ In Reply To ..]so that's something. Hopefully CAP will begin soon for them. I'm sure that is part of this change.

My Return To MQ Bites The Dust
Sep 29, 2011
Several years ago, after working for MQ for a few years, I gave up on them - it was right around the time they introduced the whole cesspool thing and all my work disappeared. Then, I began working elsewhere and guess what, same boring story, the work dried up. So, with painful reluctance I came back to MQ and these last few weeks has been one heart-wrenching day after the next. There's either no work, or I get another hospital with completely different CP instructions or ...

Three Of My Accounts Bit The Dust!

So, I had work. No problems. Then, a few months ago, the work started coming in slowly. Then, I started receiving NO JOBS AVAILABLE here and there. Then, the NO JOBS AVAILABLE started being constant, even at 11PM and 2AM. Knew something was going on. Found out 3 of my accounts are gone. Went to India. I was worried about my manager and what would happen to him and the rest of the MT's working on the other accounts, but comes to find out, the manage ...
Transcend Bites!

Why do you continue to paint yourselves in such a negative light? So that the owner can get her jollies by coming here to see how many lives she has ruined today and try to bait that poor MT into a debate online? You people have NO CLASS. I have never worked for Transcend nor would I ever after what I have been reading on these boards the past couple of months. I hope you go out of business. That is the least you deserve. You are the worst of the worse out there.&n ...
