I have noticed a trend of being OOW in the

I have noticed over the past few weeks that the majority of transcriptionists wanted ads (not on here) are in-house only. I saw 11 job postings today looking for such and all were for in-house in different areas - and that's just today! One of the companies I have a contract with has lost an account in the past month due to their hiring in-house staff instead. Anyone else notice this? ...

I have been noticing a trend lately here on the old board. Starting midweek, some posters start with the meanness, the insults, the name calling, nastiness and it continues through the weekend, Saturday seeming to be the worst. Anybody else notice this? It was quiet yesterday, usual normal venting, but no meanness or sarcasm or insults, and today, wow. Just sayin' ...

submission? I'm with a company that does this (amongst other bordering on unethical things)....I'm sure we all know what company.......cough MQ cough........ Anyway, is it just this horrible company that docks pay for QA over 5% and also if you fail an audit? I really wouldn't have a problem with docking of pay for failed audits IF they were fair, but this company doesn't know the meaning of the word fair. Just wondering if there are other ...

I have been looking for a better job for about 4 months or so. As of today, I have trained for 3 untenable situations. I won't name companies because my intent is not to slam a particular company, but to see if others are seeing a trend of companies saying anything (including lying) to an MT to get them to come aboard. 1) A company where they were to pay hourly, but once I signed on the dotted line, it became production...with hourly at some future date. As pa ...

Anyone else notice a trend that you get assigned to a "new" account (new to you and to Nuance) and work slowly builds up to a good amount, then starts to get out of control and behind, then starts to dwindle, then eventually it's such a trickle that you're constantly out of work? This has now happened to me 3 times, and I'm beginning to wonder what's going on. I know that staffing increases, when things get behind secondaries get pulled onto an account, and that a ...

Another poster below mentioned that her hospital hired its own MTs, stopped outsourcing work. It seems like most of these jobs are in-house, but I was happy to read that her hospital had all its MTs working at home. How I wish I could find a job like that! The few hospitals in my part of the state that do hire on-site MTs are too far away to make commuting an option, especially with the rising gas prices. I've been looking at hospital employee MT jobs nationwi ...

Are many companies installing Dragon for all their MTs to use, or are most using back-end VR where the MTs simply edit? Inscribe is going 100% Dragon. Is that an industry trend? ...

Should be an interesting, wild ride. ...

that, on companies sites, they do not always put the LOCATION of the company and you have to search for it? I think that is odd. You would think that would be the first thing that they do. I find it strange. ...

...all the jobs listed on the Job Seeker's Board? and then noticed ...all the MT resumes listed on the Job Wanted Board ??? What's up with this? Why don't the MTSOs advertising for help just go directly to the Job Wanted Board since there are probably hundreds/thousands of us looking for work! Why go to the trouble of advertising when those of us on the Job Wanted Board already have our skills and experience outlined for them and we state ...

I was just looking back through all my pay stubs from 2010 and MQ took out less than $5.00 in federal taxes. The same dollar amount is listed in the "year-to-date" column on EVERY SINGLE STUB. There is never an amount in the current week column and the number never changes in the year to date column. WHAT?!?!? Is this an error or did they really not take out my taxes like they were supposed to? They took out everything else: State, social security, etc. Am I going to get a h ...

has anyone else noticed that since the announcement of Imdex "merger" with TT that on the job seeker's board, there are now new notices of companies hiring such as Babbletype and Keystrokes that have not had hiring notices on that board? Just think that's a little unusual. ...

That QA/Fiesa only seems to find little errors? I often wonder if the only errors that I make are a left/right discrepancy, date/age discrepancy, a, the, etc. I have no idea who does my QA, but I'm wondering why they never find a big mistake, like a sound-alike drug or sound-alike instrument or disease. I'm wondering if others have big mistakes found or are those who do our QA only able to find those kinds of errors - the kind we would find too if we went back and rel ...

That VR seems to be getting worse in that it is constantly putting in a wrong number which is different from what is CLEARLY dictated. This seems to happen more and more with dates and especially years. Seems like they are trying to trip us up! ...

job postings now are for IC's? Way to get around Obamacare. Best look up how the IRS defines IC now because a lot of these places are thinking they can tell you when you have to work and still claim you as IC with no benefits and low wages. What a deal! I feel like applying to a few just to set them straight. This career really sucks anymore. ...

Of the 80 people listed, only 10 had a 300+ line count. Of those 10, 4 had a high (highlighted in red) QA submission score. The highest line count was 415 with a 24% QA submission score. The average seemed to be between the minimum of 150 and about 250ish. Remember when ASR started and we were told eventually we could do TWICE as much as straight typing and thus the reason for the cpl pay cut! So we all should be at 300+ by now dont you think??!! ...

the new MModal ad for PT transcriptionist? The text of the job description is so long it won't entirely fit an iPad screen. Really? dhere to these innumerable job responsibilities, and you too can make minimum wage. Boy, I am chomping at the bit for that job. Sorry, folks. I have crossed over from sarcasm to cynicism with this company. The plan is to be gone within a month. ...

All that is left on here is small talk ... minor complaints...amusing observations .. nothing of any consequence though. Monitor's doing ? New policy ? ...

My CCM finally called and left a message saying I hadn't been logging on and she would have to process termination if I didn't get in touch with her. "A phone call would be nice," I think is how she worded it. I didn't call her back. I just sent her an email and told her to go right ahead and process termination, that I didn't call because I didn't feel that the Q deserved the courtesy of a call when they treat their MTs like trash. So I am officially free. ...

Not complaining,mind you, but what's going on. I'm up to 10% transcription for this pay period. Did they decide to cut back on the SR, were their complaints by doctors saying they liked it better when we typed? LOL just wondering if anyone has noticed it and/or knows why. ...

"check document as you type," there is no delay while typing and there is no delay when moving the audio slider. ASR seems to run smoother also, like before 6.1. I did kind of like the "check document as you type," but not worth how it slows everything down..I think too much for the program to handle. Now the only thing worth the upgrade to me, as well as the only new feature I use other than doctor lookup (which I am getting used to), is the auto numbering feature. I just love ...

If it is taking a long time to do a name search, doctor or patient, I just stop and and do it again and it goes right to it. This is the same for "accepting" patient visit. ...

I work in-house at a clinic. When I'm reading over reports from the transcription service, I noticed there are no periods after "Mr.," "Dr.," and so forth. The transcriptionists type them as Dr, Mr, Mrs, etc. Is this yet another way to cheat the MTs out of keystrokes? If so, that's pretty pathetic. ...

While wondering why VR doesn't seem to be getting any better, I've started noticing a pattern while I work that might have at least something to do with it: I have several accounts, and switch around all day. Usually there are a lot of corrections per line with my company's VR system. I wonder why it makes the same dumb mistakes over and over again. However, I've begun to notice that if I've been sent a lot of VR-editing work by the same doctor, a ...

I usually start my shift at noon but have been noticing the work is coming in later in the day the last few days. I am wondering if there have been issues with transferring the audio files due to all the power outages in the Eastern U.S. I agree the amount of work has been less too. I think things will pick up but it may take some time. I really feel for all the people out East who lost so much of their homes and livelihood. Water does create a hell of a lot of dama ...

the months when there are 3 paydates. This is the 3rd time its happened to me since they changed their paydates now that they use the spheres (sorry if spelled wrong) system payroll in tennessee instead of the every 15 day pay. ...

on another board under the name of Focus Infomatics. It is advertising for acute care and new grads... out of curiousity, I clicked on the ad and was shocked to find that it was Nuance advertising. Perhaps they are having a bit of trouble finding qualified transcriptionists who will apply to their company and are now resorting to using an old name that was gobbled up or became a part of Nuance a long time ago. Kind of "shady" advertising, if you ask me. Hopefully the new ...

...that the VR doesn't understand a.m. anymore after a time is given, so it types am, so we change that to a.m., and now the system is "learning" that am gets changed to a.m. HOWEVER, it's changing all am's. In other words, I a.m. going to follow patient's labs... There are more regular am's in a report, so now it's a bigger mess than if we just had to change the am to a.m. when they were dictating a time. ...

I have noticed a trend of being OOW in the - evening

We've been out of work - and

Exactly my thoughts - because the TCMs or TSMs

They - could
