Asked to work extra so people in India who take our jobs - and keep line rates low can have a holiday.

Sorry ... the weather is just too cold to type anymore. LOL Sayonara to all of that bad news ........ ...

long with OT approved and this being a regular workday for me, I have nothing!!! On top of it, we are expected to meet our minimum line counts and work our minimum hours, but how is one to do that when there is no work. I refuse to sit here 24/7 to get my PT hours in, if that is even possible right now. It's bad enough not making any money but then to be told that we have to meet our line counts and hours or else.....Actually, I think I would really appreciate the "or else ...

Why else do we have such sparse to no dictation? I think we get the left-overs and they are now sending to India, on a trial basis, those facilities that were a hold-out for USA. I have never been this low on work. So far, I have NJA today. ...

Namely, why US hospitals are being turned into Towers of Babel because there is no SPOKEN English testing of foreign physicians. As it is, they only need to be able to read/write English sufficiently well to take the exam, which is a very different thing entirely from being able to speak English. It's passing strange to me that when I'm doing the most difficult work that I do with some of the most abysmal dictators that I deal with, who cannot string 3 English words togeth ...

I had to laugh through my disgust. ...

My company has a lot of work right now (which is a good thing, I know). Previously when this would happen, we would be offered overtime and paid time and a half. For the last couple of weeks, we are practically being begged to work "extra" hours but only at straight time. I hate to sound negative, but I have a hard time giving up my free time to work for 4 cents a line editing horrible VR reports. Is it even legal to ask MTs to work overtime for straight pay? Please ...

17% of the world population. Of those, 25% (300 million) are completely illiterate; 15% (180 million) enter high school; 7% (84,000) graduate from high school; 500,000 apply to Indian colleges each year; 10,000 are accepted from Indian colleges; and I have no data as to how many graduate from college, but if it's comparable to the U.S. then probably about 1500-3000 per year. Remember back in the days when the Indian people told us that they could do our jobs better because they have ...

Logged in to Ipswitch today with multiple spam emails that should be considered porn along with some emails that state I purchased plane tickets and internet pharmacy things when I did not. This is what my raise went for instead? I get more email that is spam than I do actual emails from Mmodal. Looks like India recently got the job of monitoring the email. Fantastic job guys. Even my personal email does a better job at filtering t ...

This is a question for coders. I am thinking about taking the coding course through Andrews school. I am just asking about the outlook for medical coding in the future. Have any coders out there lost their jobs due to it going to India or overseas or to any computerized program like Epic or Amazing Charts. I am just asking before I take the course through Andrews. I think there is a future in coding. Thank you for any replies. ...

Wouldn't it be great if we got our jobs back?? Hey, I can dream.... ...

I applied for one of the jobs listed on here and another site. I got a call saying they would call last Friday. When that didn't happen, I got an email saying they would call today in a certain time frame. That still has not happened. I know patience is a virtue and that they are dealing with multiple resumes, but I had an email from a recruiter in the specialty area that I was looking at, so I was hoping the number of resumes had dropped some (not just a general rec ...

The company I work for was recently bought out by another company. Much of our work has already been sent offshore. And now we have Indian email addresses. This is from an email I received: WISHING YOU AND YOUR FAMALIES A HAAPY DUSSEHRA. How is it that these companies think those folks can produce decent medical reports? It just boggles the mind. ...

How long is it taking to find a job and do you have to settle for weekends and all the hours no one else wants. My account is getting ready to go on Epic so I dont know how long I will have a job either. I would like to go PT when this happens but have no clue what is the best way to go about this because I havent had to look for a job for so long. I am IC and really dont want employee as I dont need to have their benes. Do you hear from people if you post your resu ...

I have no idea if this rate of pay is worth it, or anything else. I have no affiliation with this website, get nothing from it, etc. Search craigslist for "Audio Transcription" heading for the post. I found it under the part time job category. CL is also full of garbage, but if you want to find a job you have to weed out the trash to find a decent one. The post says they have clients that need interview transcription, webinar transcription, podcast transcription, sermo ...

Transcription Doctors terminates 16 people out of their jobs and shorts pay. Today, 16 MT/QA staff were terminated without notice and only when staff began to voice concern with complaints did an email get sent out. The email briefly mentioned that termination was due to either not working enough hours or poor quality, though this author knows of people who have been shorted on their paychecks when checks were received today and questioned why. It's not confirmed whether ...

The people I know who will now be getting medical insurance will obviously now go to the doctor when they get sick. It makes sense to me that there will be more coding and more billing, right? That's a good thing for us I think. ...

Everybody leave Medquist....go get other work -- working at McDonald's pays more and has better benefits - at least you get to eat. And see how well India does all the transcription -- they can't do it -- we do the hard work and they get the cream. We are sitting her dying with their bad machines and bad dictators. Let them have it -- they will corode. ...

I have been at home working full time for about a year. I have been an MT longer, but I always had kept a job outside of the home also because I like interaction with other. I have found that I am starting to lose my people skills. Do others have this same problem? It is like I have forgotten how to really be able to hold a conversation with others. This is something that really bothers me as I have always loved customer service and working with people and main ...

It is insulting to all of us with the way that MT pay has gone down the drain, it is frustrating and aggravating to look for a "decent" job these days, trying to work out which companies will treat you fairly, which ones lie about their platforms, work, etc., and not only do these companies not want to pay us what we are worth but now I see that MANY companies are requiring the MT to have or "be willing" to purchase hundreds of dollars worth of equipment. If an employer can PROMISE IN ...

Well, let me think about this....I just checked Fiesa and I have two 100% reports in there. I'm normally off Thurs/Fri. So if I just don't work anymore chances are good I will stay right at that 100%. If I do (and I KNOW I'll get the worst dictators AND my backup account I rarely work on, happens every time in this situation)....but chances are HIGH that I will get that worked audited and then drop below 100%, prob evening falling off the "grid" and/or having to ...

I don't know about you all but my CCM is constantly asking us to work "extra," even when there are no late jobs and not an over abundance of dictation. What is the deal? The other night we were requested to work at least 1 extra hour. Tonight they are asking again. I don't know about you all but I have a family and other things I like to do other than work. Don't they realize we have lives away from MQ??? Besides, that extra hour is really not g ...

The doctor dictates: The patient's back pain responds fairly well to Tylenol; in fact better than ibuprofen. He typically takes 1 Extra Strength three times a day. Do I capitalize Extra Strength because it is assumed part of Tylenol? Or do I leave it lower case because it is not typed with the brand name Tylenol? ...

I assume that the MT companies set up a contract with the client for them to pay on a per-line basis. Of course, they charge more than they pay us; that's how they make their money & that's fine. But what I'm wondering is... when we get a report that comes in as VR instead of straight typing, where does the extra money go, since we get paid less for VR. I feel like I work just as hard, if not harder on VR than typing a report. So why don't we make ...

Is extraaxial (brain tumor) one word or is it hyphenated? ...

is extra-strength Tyelnol hyphenated? ...

was just told that md-it was going to need an extra few days to pay me. This is not the end of the world for me, but it does make me worry a bit about their financial health. Could someone out there tell me if they have had this problem too? ...

I sit with NJA....on my SCHEDULED day to work. Once again, thanks a lot MQ for your oh so talented way of giving OT and incentives when they aren't necessary and taking away work from people who are actually scheduled to work. I appreciate it. ...
