I absolutely hate the new group I was recently transferred to. - seething

Posted: Dec 30, 2013

I was transferred only about about a month ago (stolen according to my last TSM). This is a new account. Every single week it is something. I was moved to this group " because I had no production problems and no quality problems" according to my previous TSM. Thus far, I have failed 1 audit by 0.15 points, followed by passing an audit, and I have had, according to the email subject, targeted audits 3 out of 4 weeks. I got an email stating I had failed my targeted audit (1 error - date), and I will now have 5 targeted audits by the QAM personally. Gee, am I supposed to feel scared that the QAM herself will do the audits!!!!!! ( this is a rhetorical statement). I can't wait until I finish school and am out of here!

Did you happen to be transferred - old and burned out

That half of those have multiple different facilities within the main name and they all want something different! How the heck can I juggle any more of this mess? And 3 whole flippin days notice? What is with that?

my opinion - anon

Its going to be a disaster for us. Quality is going to suffer and our productivity (paycheck) is going to suffer I think I know why they are doing it, to ensure nothing falls out of TAT, but it is going to be a mess I fear.

They just assigned me - but

I have been getting the work for about a week, was wondering what the heck was going on..You would think, and this is just me, that they would group similar accounts together so it is easier. Oh wait that just makes too much freaking sense, Im job hunting. Burger flippers are getting minimum wage raised to 15 an hour, time to go to McDs.

What gets me is... - sm

We've had how many conference calls trying to get everyone trained on these picky clients' preferences?? And now they're going to let random MTs work on these accounts who have no idea. I'm sure the clients are going to love this. I'm barely making quota as it is, so with all these new accounts, I guess I can kiss that goodbye. Happy New Year to us.

New accounts - new group. - seething

[ In Reply To ..]
Plenty of work at this time. I actually am getting less different accounts - only 3 usually. We will see if and when it goes to the ILPs. :-P

on same account as you - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
I'm on same account as you. Check your email, we're going to be part of a pilot program come 01/02/2014. We're getting lots of new accounts. I too am looking for a new job in 2014. May all of us be able to leave this place in the new year!

And from what I understand, this particular account we are presently exclusively on was with ILPs but brought back about a year ago.

I've see the crap in docqscribe - sm

While trying to figure out what my "new dictators" are saying I go in and look,,,wrong medications (yea they sound similar but have no use for the medical conditions the patients have), wrong equipment used, and general GARBAGE. Not sure who is doing it, but I get gigged for not changing a work type? Which is something they actually can catch at the facility and their stupid doctor entered...Im looking for a job, Im sick of being treated like an idiot.

new accounts - Mykkie

[ In Reply To ..]
I NEVER get only 3 accounts. I get at least 12-15 in a 2 week period and was told because of turnaround time(s), I have to be switched to so many accounts. I cannot understand why some have few accounts and others have to be loaded with a multitude of accounts and then still be expected to keep high line counts!!

My opinion - old and burned out

[ In Reply To ..]
Very simple. Switch accounts, immediate audit which you cannot pass, put you on 100% QA and lower your rate by 3 col. The more MTs they do this to, the more money they save.

They think they get garbage before. try lowering my pay - not gonna be happy.

[ In Reply To ..]
this is not the case this time, it is, at least, my entire region this time. It is a pilot program that will fail miserably.

It's why I finally retired - old and burned out

[ In Reply To ..]
Wanted to put me on 100% QA after over 40 years which would mean 3 cpl less, telling me "It's not permanent." They just keep expecting MTs with 20, 30, 40 years experience to work for minimum wage and not in an unskilled job. It continues to be unbelievable not matter how many times I hear it.

I was temporarily "loaned" to help out some other accounts - The Typing Dead

and they were SO MUCH EASIER than what I was used to doing (a tertiary care research hospital) that I actually hated going back to the facility I have been working on since 1999.

Ouir BOB lost another large account and now there are too many MTs. So, about 8-12 are being moved. The account that I transcribe is going to be almost 100% ASR, and the account is being transferred to the Canadian MTs. Apparently the poor Canadians don't have enough work. They do, however, get free health insurance. Now we not only have to worry about the Indians, but the Canadians too. I can guarantee they are being paid less. ...

About 3 weeks ago I was transferred to a different region. Been with MM 9 years, with many different supervisors and BOBs, but always the same region. Was called by supervisor and told work load was low in her BOB and was "only going to get worse." ILPs taking over, probably I assume. She wanted to transfer me to make sure I had "plenty of work and stayed with MM." Not sure what that meant. I had never experienced NJA in that particular BOB. The accounts ...

I'm getting pretty sick of the condescending questions asked ("why didn't you do this" or "why did you do that") by my PC, who I was moved to during the POD initiation and would much rather go back to my old PC, who was awesome, even if I have to leave the accounts I have been typing on for years. This PC just makes me feel like an idiot. ...

Just had a doctor dictate that he told a young woman not to tell her sexual partners that she is HIV positive unless somebody wants to seriously marry her. He told her just to ask them to wear a condom. If they wanted to know why a condom, he told her to tell them it was a good idea for everybody to use them with all the diseases that are out there now. Maybe I'm wayyyyy tooooo old, but I couldn't believe that a doctor was giving a young woman this advice. ...

I've been looking for weeks. The hospital I've been IC with for years is getting rid of all ICs - going totally VR and keeping only their existing employees. I've tried to be very selective, looking for that great little company somewhere that would treat me with a little respect and value my years of experience. Well, now I'm to the point that I need to start bringing in a paycheck ASAP. I've been offered both M-Modal and Nuance - which were my v ...

I see they are advertising again. I told them I'd take their test if they would tell me their line rate which they were nice enough to do (the lousy industry "standard" 8/4). Worse than what I make now, so I had to pass, as I am trying to escape this crap job altogether. Can anyone give me a reason why I might try to get on with them if I were to change my mind? Thanks. ...

May 09, 2015

I absolutely Refuse to do any more VR for less than what straight typing pays. Find another Sucker to fix your jacked up reports. This is not worth my time, I am an Educated Professional. Do not take advantage of me, I will Not sell myself short! Note to transcription companies: Speech recognition is Not ready for medical or legal reports. It is more suited for personal or small business use at this point. Continue to push this VR crap and you will lose the good scribes. Wha ...

After 21 years of doing transcription, yes starting with a typewriter, I have no will left to do this job. After searching other companies, it seems the industry is in the toilet. We are at the mercy of companies like Nuance because in-house transcription is a thing of the past. I woke up this morning and realized in the last 16 years I have come full circle, 7 cpl when starting at home, and now most likely back to 7 cpl with this new grid. I don't even see the point in arguing over the QC% ...

I've been reading these boards for years, and have never posted. But I'm desperate for some advice. I have worked for years at a very small company as an IC and absolutely loved it. Unfortunately, life events threw me a curve and I was forced to find an employee-status job. I thought I landed THE best opportunity. I have been with Accentus for a few months and absolutely hate it. I WANT soooooooo badly to like it and make it work, as I do believe it is one of the better companies out ...

I didn't get let go, fired, or whatever they spin it to be. On Monday, I got a phone call from a place I was trying to get hired on with. They had an opening, asked me if I was interested in doing transcribing. I told them, not really. But, after she told me that they have brought all transcription back in house, I had to come to the interview, if not for any other reason than that, curiousity. It seems they tried "everyone" out there in terms of tran ...

"They" would be foolish not to read these posts. What a great way to see what their employees are truly feeling...not that that changes anything or that they care. As to the people who always jump on the people who "complain" (I call it venting), they are just arrogant, aggressive types who love to argue. The one way below who was outraged that someone can't believe someone would be happy with their job, to her I say, good for you. You're happy? Well, you ...

I made pretty good lines in just a couple hours using none of the VR key combinations because I haven't started utilizing them yet (figure it will take time to learn them) but I don't think avg. 300 lph is too bad on first day huh? I was worried and now I can't imagine going back to transcribing, seriously. I hope tomorrow and each day after is as go ...

of the medical field in general. What happened to all the American doctors? Has it become so blasted easy for foreigners to come over and get a job as a doctor or are Americans so damn-ass lazy that they don't want to get the education? Or is to so blasted expensive that no one can afford to become a doctor unless you are a foreign student? So freaking sick and tired of all these foreign dictators who speak so fast and sloppy. What the heck is going to become of our health care when we can& ...

First, they took almost $300 off me back in the '90s because I didn't pay for a year.Does wages of $37 and payment of $2 to SS count? The following year, it shows no income. Okay, maybe I didn't work that year but I still had 40 credits then. Now, I tried to apply and they want my W2 for 2008 according to the online applications. SS called me today. They show no wages for me in 2005. Send a W2, but they do have 2008 and i don't have to send that. They show les ...
