Is there a reason given for the terminations - Feeling sick


Posted: Sep 11, 2013

I haven't been to MTStars much lately and noticed some are talking about being terminated.  Are you given a reason for the termination?  I scraped by my last evaluation (this percentage you have to keep is scary no matter how they tell you the scoring is changed).  Scared silly I'll be terminated because don't want retire until I'm 65 (getting close) and too old to start looking for a home job again because I can't work outside the home anymore.   What's the reason for the terminations? 

mostly people are being laid off - due to low work nm

if you are FT I think you will be fine for a while at least. I am sure you realize they are trying to get the majority of work overseas though. But they simply cannot do it all at once...it will take time, prob several years is my guess. I hope you are with a few years to retire. I wouldn't worry about your evals...even my CCM told me that is not usually the criteria they use to let someone go (as if they really care much about THAT)...it's other things...You said you scraped by so sounds like you must have gotten at least 99%....something to be proud of by the way. Even doctors KILL people more than 1% of the time.

Anyway, good luck. I hope for the best for the MTs that are left. However, even if you did get laid off, chances are good that you could eek it out at home at least a few more years.

I was told ALL part-timers were being laid off because of lack of work. I really think they just want the work for India. If you look at the India M*Modal facebook page they are begging people to work for them. I can't believe you had evaluations - I worked there 9 years and never had an evaluation. I didn't even have QC the last couple of years.

I'm part-time and still here and so are a few other PTers that I know. - NM

Reason For So Much
Oct 03, 2012

I have read countless articles today that state that the reason that so much MT work is being outsourced is b/c there are lack of MTs on the US side working in the industry.  I love when the uneducated write these articles.  They are totally missing the entire reason work is outsourced, MONEY.  There would be plenty US based MTs to do the work provided we were paid what we are worth.  The reason the work even went over to India and other countries is b/c it is cheaper for the ...

Last year my relatives started getting calls from a collection agency saying I owed a Payday loan and would go to jail, etc. if I did not pay up.

Of course Americans can rip you off too but sending confidential info overseas is just asking for trouble. This is probably just the tip of the iceberg http://w ...

What Could Be The Reason For Odd Line Counts?
May 12, 2010

According to the Escript, I'm doing an average of 300 lph on VR but usually at the end of 8 hours, I don't top 1100 liines most days.  On Dictaphone's ExSpeech, i used to consistently do 1800-2400 a day on a combination. I have noticed with EScript that 1 day a week, my lines will hit 1200-1300, and I even hit 1500 one  day, yet the lph were still 300.  It doesn't make sense. No, I do not take breaks.  Half the time I don't stop ...

No More NJA Reason For Insufficient Hours

That ain't my problem. If I am scheduled to work 9-5 m-f and there isn't any work, they shouldn't expect me to change my ho ...


Possible Reason Only Some MTs Got Back Wages
Aug 08, 2013

My employer, who has several VA contracts, was audited by the DOL last year.  The findings of the audit were that the employer should have been paying us the prevailing hourly wage because the contracts were federal government contracts.  Many people got back pay for the period of time for which the books were audited, but not everyone did because the DOL only audited one of our accounts.  Even though all the rest of the MTs were paid exactly the same way (on a production basis), ...

To CA MTs: I Was Told The Reason I Was Laid Off (along With Others) Is That
Jun 04, 2014

MM was laying off a lot of PT MTs. I accepted that since I have always passed their ridiculous 98% (and higher) audits and always worked my shift, etc. So no reason to fire me. However, I've been wondering if the real reason (since I see there are still PT MTs here) is that they don't want any employees from California (or any other state where the minimum wage is too high in their eyes). What do you all think? Are there any FT or PT CA MTs from MModal still working for MModal? ...

Very Interesting, Another Reason My Counts Are Higher During The Day.
Jul 21, 2014

I normally work nights and get the worst dictators and horrid ASR. Of course, the worst dictators are usually the low man on the totem pole and get the worst coverage. At least, that is my experience from everywhere I have worked. Plus you get the sleepy doctors that can barely move their mouths in between yawns. I also only rarely get operative reports. On the few occasions I have needed to work a day shift, in addition to much better dictation, I get a lot of operative reports (I am tie ...


The Reason For The Low Work Loads Is Multifactorial.
Dec 10, 2014

Let's say Nuance acquires a hospital account and 9 or 10 MTs fall for their line of crap and come on board with Nuance.  These MTs are kept  busy for awhile, usually only as long as it takes to get the VR adequately trained because entire workypes are now being completed in, like, half the time than it took to complete them with straight typing. Some worktypes, like many associated with ERs, are converted to front-end EHR and avoid arriving in anyone's queues at all, in any ...
