To poster below about Amy, sm - anon

Posted: Mar 02, 2013

She just contacted my sister-in-law 2 days ago about a problem my sister-in-law complained about. I left there in May but she (my sister-in-law) still works there unfortunately! But Amy is definitely not gone.

The person who posted Amy was gone is probably - not an MModal employee.

I was told by my TSM at the time... - KD

that Amy was fired. This was just before the big re-org and before I got a new supervisor. I don't know if it's true or not, but that's what she told me. I had questions about some of the things Amy had mentioned in one of our conference call/webinar things, and that's when she told me.

Some of you guys crack me up how you want to think everyone who posts something you don't want to hear isn't really an employee - good grief. Anyway, what I was told was "fired," not "laid off." Not that it matters to us - clearly MM has decided to focus their efforts on other things, clearly not including making their MTs happy.

She is still listed as COO - nm

Maybe someone could try emailing her and see what happens. - If I knew her last name, I would try.

Amy is still with the company - MT

Her email is still working. Whoever your TSM is who said she was gone doesn't know what they are talking about. Or you heard wrong.

Amy sent out an email on 12/17 - your TSM is misinformed nm

You're right, an email from Amy, her name and - pic on the website, yeah she is gone

[ In Reply To ..]
silly me.

Oh, and someone heard from her 2 days ago - but yeah, she is gone

[ In Reply To ..]
my bad.

That was over 2 months ago. Anything could have - happened since then.

all right whatever then - I guess they just like her picture

[ In Reply To ..]
and that's why it's still on the website listing her as the COO.

thanks - I dont know why we care

[ In Reply To ..]
I think at first I, at least, thought she might actually be on our side, remember her saying she believes in doing the right thing, but now I don't think that so much anymore.

I dont even remember what she said. I know I - should probably pay closer attention, but

[ In Reply To ..]
I just dont. Speaking of which, when is the next MT meeting with her? Seems like we were suppose to be having them every so often? Just wondering because maybe then the MTs can ask questions about the low work situation.

that just really stuck in my mind - but as to the next meeting

you're not allowed to ask questions unless they get cleared by your TSM first and you have to be briefed on how to address Amy, which is why some call her Princess Amy.

What Difference - Alias

What big whoop does it make whether Amy is still at MM or not? Has she done anything for you since she's been here? What difference does it make who's running the place? The only thing that's going to change is so-called new and improved technology and less pennies per line to edit the document as the years go on.

Agree. - hotcrossbuns

I'm so cynical about MModal, I never believed there even SM - luluwu

was an Amy. I thought she was some made up person, like Betty Crocker.

That's what comes with age!

I read the link. The electronic medical record STILL is not the problem (my account with Q right now has EHR and I TRANSCRIBE the reports). The problem according to the article is that the Clinicians are inputting the data -- be it typing it in or point and click or speech rec --- but that information STILL has to be put into that record somehow. They are choosing to do it themselves and not pay transcriptionists, but the Electronic Medical Record only means that it is totally ...

technology poor sound quality of dictation should be a thing of the past; however, that is now my #1 problem. I have put a notation in the QA notes several times lately of the poor audio quality. I think dictating on a speaker phone or cell phone (I don't care where --- office, home, bathroom, ballgames, convertibles, motorcycles, airplanes, or outer space) should be MT-outlawed and if a dictator does it, the report should be trashed and he should have to dictate it over (y ...

I am NOT going to read all those posts, but I just wanted to let you know that you are lucky you only get audited once a month. I get audited DAILY, at least once a day. Today I got audited twice, one 100% the other 99.75%. If I can remember correctly, I got dinged for typing something like "Aorta was tortuous" instead of "The aorta was tortuous". It was for an account that has a multitude of dictators - I swear there is a new one every day and no two on a consistent basi ...

who said it makes no difference to MM's bottom line if they put us on 100% QA because it usually is not permanent. Even if it is just for a month or two and they are lowering our salaries by half or more, multiply that by the number of hours worked and by the number of MTs on 100% QA. They can lower their costs by many thousands per month - at least enough to throw themselves a huge party. ...

With the name of Rajiv Poddar would you think it was a USA company? Just seeing that name in your post made me not want to read any further. That should have been a clue that it was from India and nothing else made sense about the wages either. ...

company and my pay was cut 23% at one time. You say good management-this company has a rep for this kind of stuff. Do you think it is good management when accounts run out of work daily because they are only overflow (almost all accounts with this company are overflow) and are overstaffed to stay in TAT-I had 5 accounts and still didn't have enough work? Do you like pulling teeth to get work and/or answers because there is only 1 (ONE) person dishing out work who has the persona ...

I agree with that wholeheartedly. But unions CAN force fair compensation for the skill and experience with the new technology. I have never understood the concept that MTs should be paid half of what they normally get paid for straight typing when doing VR editing. When doctors learned how to use da Vinci, endoscopic procedures, etc., did they get paid less because their new equipment helped them to be more proficient. Do doctors get paid less for EMR because a lot of ti ...

I was just reading an article on 98,000 annual deaths, and those were due to medical harm, like hospital-acquired infections, careless surgeries, and incorrect medication orders. In that article there is only one mention that has to do with healthcare information technology, and it wasn't MT or VR. It was about electronic prescription orders to prevent medication errors due to sloppy handwriting and harmful drug interactions. Not once is it mentioned about deliquent charti ...

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I have had enough of the lack of work ethic in the transcription industry from the doctors and their myriad ways of making our life miserable and unprofitable. I will be moving to an area that has a Whole Foods, and even though they are outrageously priced, I believe in their mission statement more than the joke this industry has turned into. I can't wait to hang up my earphones. I appreciate your suggestion, and I am heeding it. ...

I remember she worked at Medquist and was on here a lot offering advice through all the changes. She shared how she worked through the first pay cuts in 2005 or around that time by working just three and a half days a week (lots of hours) and earning the highest production bonus possible. I believe she was also in school getting her MD? She was very informative, and wondered if anyone has heard from her, if she's here, still working at M-Modal or if she got her degree? ...

ALL-HANDS MEETING STATED: Performance management will be done for greatness of work to raise the bar on every MT/ME. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! This morning's email of trying to get us to be near 100% is bullcrap! MM won. I just hope and pray by moving this bar up that the company will fall. After giving this company more than 2 decades of my service, I HOPE TO QUIT! I am pulling money out of the 401K and finishing my schooling. This company is great ...

Your boat analogy is right on in every way. For those of us who have been in this business for a good while, it's hard to witness firsthand the continual degradation of what once was a viable and respected profession. And it gets me, because what we bring to the table hasn't changed. We're still highly educated people with a vast knowledge base and skills that should be recognized as being worth something. No one off the street would be able to do what we do. We're entru ...

I realize you don't understand why some of us go with companies offering extremely low wages. Let me try to enlighten you (at least in my case). 1.

I have two specialties in MT tht I can work on comfortably and Mercedes has the both. 3. To transfer from one company to another and not have to be trained on the accounts/platform (BayScr ...
