Imedx mandatory vacation use - Beetle


Posted: Nov 17, 2014

Let me get this right:

1. We are 8 business days from the beginning of crazy work.

2. We are out of TAT a lot now, client unhappy.

3. You want us to widdle down our saved time off to just 2 days; there are 30 biz days left to end of year.

4. You want roll-over time (only up to 16 hours) to be used by 03/31/2015.

5. Many of us are plannning vacations, thus coverage for pissed off acounts will be even less.

6. Many of us are very very concerned with any mergers/buy-out. NEVER, in my work history, has this EVER been a good thing. Always BAD! Even for supervisors/management.

7. Transition has been horrible, so many looking for new work/polishing up resumes.

8. Docs not practicing any better verbal hygiene, and are going faster due to rise in patients now who are slamming them with appointments because of holidays.

9. No benefit increase, as a matter of fact a few personal monthly bills went up.

10.  Email a joke now at Imedx India

11. (Did I mention India? yet), not exactly reassuring there either.

12. I highly doubt anything special coming from Imedx in recognition of a great? year, so once again we get looked over.

13. The most bizarre career I have ever worked. Absolutely bizarre. A lot of head shaking when I tell friends.

14. Me? I think I'll immigrate to Mexico and get better health/work benefits.  I like siesta's in the middle of the day too. I can't think of a more un-regulated industry. I routinely do not eat lunch, or get something cold in the fridge and eat left overs, and work well past supper time. This job has changed me, and I do not like it. I am dreaming of the guaranteed $12 or $15 or $20 per hour set earning at a company 5 miles from my home.

15. What is it with us MTs, we are an interesting lot.

lets add blackout dates - another ticked TT mt

Most supervisors just sent out their list out blackout dates surrounding the upcoming holidays.

Ah, yes, the Blackout days.... - Beetle

[ In Reply To ..]
Yep, I knew I would forget a few things. Also, looks like today a lot of MTs are sick. Always Monday. Great for making a little extra money, horrible with client when we go out of TAT later tonight. Ick Ick!

And don't forget the DATA transfer to another software - beetle

[ In Reply To ..]
If you look at prior jobs in a report, notice the METADATA tag at the top??? Just noticed that today. That means data is being imported/exported, something not done since we got an account. This, is probably absolute proof work is beginning to be outsourced. Prior reports not coming in like they used to, just check it out inside a job. Toast we go!

what software? - another ticked TT mt

I want to check out my account if possible.

Mandatory Vacation - NCaMT

Has anyone gotten approval for requested PTO use? I'm lucky to get a timely response on important matters from my supervisor on a good day, let alone a PTO request. I'm not optimistic any requests will be approved. Plus, what is that all about having to get supervisor approval to carry over those 16 hours? I can see that not going well either and ending up with 0 PTO on January 1. I do imagine this will be the least of our worries before long.

Vacation - still not approved.

B/c if we cant take it, they will just pay out. But, crap. I need VACATION for rest and relaxation not to work and get a sniveling payout - isn't that what it said in the email? I don't want to work for my vacation and get paid. I want to not work for my vacation and get paid. That's what a freakin' vacation is!

Vacation, P.r.n., Per Diem Coverage?
Dec 14, 2009

I've been in this business for 30 years, but am under employed at the moment and am starting to get bored to tears with having so little work to do.  But, it seems that all of the ads that I see are looking for full time transcriptionists.  Surely there must be some companies or MTSOs somewhere who would need an MT to help with part time or per diem work, to help with vacation coverage or maybe for temporary work just to help clear up an occasional back log and such.  But, d ...

My company does not allow satellite. Is this the only way it can be done? If not, what are the required items besides a laptop? Thanks in advance ...

If It Looks Like IMEDX, Talks Like IMEDX, It Is IMEDX

No one on this board seems to give specifics when they get canned from IMEDX. So my question is this: Can each person who got laid off/fired let us know more details. Were you PT or full time, did they call or did they email, did you have options, or just firing. How many lines did you do per day. Some of us may not be in your situation and you may have been just an employee that was not worth IMEDX's time and they got rid of you while they may keep all the others, or full timers. Details p ...

Anybody enjoying the mandatory overtime.  Yea funny how we are on mandatory overtime and then get an email that states that if you run out of work, you are required to email them and flex your time and can only make it up after 5 p.m.  So again, you are required to check for your work throughout the day and if there is no work, sorry for your luck and if you want to be "lucky" enough to be employed w/ Nuance, you will then have to sign in and work on your off shift to make up your hour ...
