Code of Conduct, is it a setup? - fingers


Posted: Nov 21, 2010

Anyone suspicious of this push to get us to sign the Code of Conduct?  I know we've signed it before, but something tells me there's a clause in there that is going to enable them to get rid of many of us by the end of the year.  Just curious if anyone else thought so, too?

Now have to be a lawyer, too - MT, M.D.

I thought the same thing. It was written in legal-ese which often contains inuendos which are way above the average layman's head. Not only are we assumed to have the same fund of knowledge of a doctor, but now a lawyer. Also, isn't it ironic we have to be reminded of OUR ethics - why can't we see what the suits sign? If anything.

I doubt if the suits ever sign ANYTHING, because - we all no suits have no ethics. n/m

[sigh!] - I meant "know", not "no". - (Aint had my coffee, yet.)

Might be worth it to have an attorney read it. - That would be better than signing it blindly. (nm

No it isn't a setup. It IS a way to make sure - all employees understand a few expectations.

This applies to the company and to any employees, whether they are corporate heads, management or MTs, etc.

Good grief.

I now will always leave a QA note every time a cc name is given without the first and last name or any ADT names given without first and last name. With thousands of MTs wor ...

All anyone has to do is take your average pay currently and use the grids.  You will see that it comes down to a pay decrease.  They went through a lot of trouble and rehearsal on the "potential" to make more instead of one seeing it will be a decrease and they will be getting an increase in their pockets as usual.  They don't care about the MTs, they are selling their software that we actually help to pay for by all the pay cuts to train it!  ...

The truth is that transcription has changed and it will never go back to the good old days.  Mmodal sees this too.  They are shifting as is the norm these days.  Nothing is static.  They are transitioning and they are inviting you to go with them.  I am glad to see a training program for coders.  There are not enough coders out here.  Please be prepared to work your butt off.  Take it, work it, and learn it.  Coding is a unique, important, challenging ...
