Another Acusis meeting. Another load of B.S. - WheelCog


Posted: Mar 31, 2010

Always the same old song and dance.  The subject of MTs needing more pay per line comes up, and what does the speaker do?  Redirect the focus on all the added "upgrades" to their software they plan to buy (probably for hundreds of thousands of dollars) to "help us be more productive".   Got news for them.  You can only go SO fast.  There IS a limit.  And after all the emphasis on accountability and accuracy, do they not see that speed just increases errors?  And then that same old story that according to the competition, their pay is above average.  Well, tell that to all the creditors that keep calling me asking when I'm going to pay them.  If we can't pay our bills, then even pay that is "above-average" in the MT field, is BELOW-AVERAGE compared to the rest of this country.  Until Walmart has a special, discounted price just for MTs, then we will continue to state that our pay is NOT ENOUGH. 

And finally, the speaker gives us the old "rah-rah" about how great AHDI is, and how they're lobbying Washington in our behalf, and how we really should be members.

Oh, PUL-EEESE.  Gag me.

I just had a reduction in line rate, at some point I refused to do this anymore sm - almost fed-up

I make the same line rate now that I did in 1992!

And yet they have an ad on this site that they are hiring... nm - Sims

Acusis Meeting
Nov 02, 2010

Well now, don't all we US MTs at Acusis feel better after our quarterly meeting? After being informed of all the new accounts signed on, we are told that, of course, they are going to India. But this quote they left us with should soothe us. "In times of great change the learners inherit the earth, while the learned find themselves uniquely equipped to operate in a world that no longer exists." KMA! ...

This Is A Load Of You Know What...
Jan 29, 2013

They are just not delegating the work adequately.  This is my biggest pet peeve of all time. There will be several thousand jobs in my region and my accounts run out...and then I sit...and wait...and nothing.  They say change your hours, well guess what? I already work mostly 2nd shift. "Make up time on Saturday." There is no work, apparently, on Saturday anymore either! In looking at the numbers, certain hospitals seem to never run out, while others are just bone dry.  Overstaffe ...

Cannot Get DocQScribe To Load
Nov 09, 2010

I tried to get DocQScribe to load from the DocQManage page for over an hour and finally had to send in a ticket.  Is anyone else having this kind of trouble with the system.  It showed a green light on DEP.  This is getting rediculous.  I could not work my scheduled shift on Sunday because there were no jobs available (but incentive stayed in place).  Now I cannot work my scheduled shift because of something else.  I don't know about anyone else, but with a fam ...

A Load Off Literally
Jul 17, 2013

Finally quit. Except for leaving MM I have never felt such a load taken off my shoulders. I am going to a hospital system where historically they do not treat people like robots, or slaves. I was going to try to hang on here, by hermiting (do my job and not look at e mails, etc) but decided to try to get out and with a lot of job hunting it worked. I still cannot believe how much pressure has lifted. Oddly I no longer feel depressed. I guess now I know what was causing my sadness... I am not say ...

Hey 3rd Shifters Out There, How Is Your Work Load? Sm
Jul 22, 2010

Am I the only one who runs out of work?  I find it very hard at night to keep going with the dreaded no work available.  At least during the day, you can clean house, email, pick up the telephone, etc.  During the night, you are limited to surfing and staring!  Then I am too sleep deprived to pull extra hours to make up for missed line counts.  I am doing third shift for the extra incentitive but it doesn't work in my favor if I run out of work! Any ideas?  Cur ...

Question About North Region Work Load
Aug 23, 2010

I quit MQ a few months ago. I loved my account and miss it. I am wondering if a certain North region is low on work too, specifically the one whose CCM lives in the same region as most of the accounts. The large teaching hospital always was backlogged, with lots and lots of work.  But I won't bother to reapply if the work is low. ...

I just got a new laptop and I installed express scribe, which I use on my desktop, and could not load any wav files on the laptop.  I did windows updates and that seemed to fix the problem, the files that day I was able to play.  A file that came in today I am unable to play though, but still can play the other files from Friday.  They are all wav files and on my desktop I can play them all, just not my laptop.  Does anybody know what could possibly be going on here?  Thanks for all the hel ...

Express Scribe Load Plays Super-fast
Jul 13, 2012

I recently downloaded the free version of Express Scribe.  The "Welcome" message plays with no problem, but any file that I try to load plays super-fast.  I am pretty sure I checked all the settings, such as F10 (normal play back speed) and the speed control in the bottom right hand corner.  If anyone can help with this I would appreciate it.  I did send an email to tech support but will probably never get an answer b/c I didn't purchase it. ...
