Just said goodbye to most of my accounts with OTI that went to Mercedes.

I decided to send them the contract e-mail back stating I would not be accepting and why - that with 20 years experience, I will quit the industry before going that low and that there are still other jobs out there willing to pay more (even if it is only for 6 months to a year that they told me it would last). I said if they get no takers and want to consider offering us more, please feel free to contact me. Hopefully, we all do the same. Good luck. ...

Have you signed with Mercedes? Even with the idea of being a temporary thing to do? Do you know how many signed with them? I am nosy and curious. ...

Apparently I am probably with one of the "sister" companies in this transition. Like you guys, I am trying to weigh out my options here. I'm reading the comments about the offer from Mercedes. Does anyone know if RecordsOne is offering pretty much the same offer? I feel like if the "sister" company keeps me onboard, to go on the other accounts they have, are they really able to "absorb" another MT. I feel like the relative you let sleep on the couch just beca ...

I'm beginning to think RecordsOne got the raw end of this deal. ...

I notice this company has some openings. Awhile back I had noticed some negative posts concerning the company and am wondering if anything has changed. ...

I listened to the Mercedes town hall. What did you think? They did say VBC was coming. Does this sound like Bayscribe to you? They said VBC was coming, but rate of pay would not change. I wonder how that will work. They promised nothing would change as of October 1. I wonder what it will be like on January 1. ...

On reading the posts below, if an MT makes 8 cpl and pay is cut down to 6.5 cpl, that is an approximately 20% pay cut. Then, going from a 65-character line with spaces to VBC (a 65-character line without spaces), that is an approximately 30% pay cut. So, 20% plus 30% equals an overall 50% pay cut. Can that possibly be correct? ...

I have received an offer from this company and she said it paid 0.065 cpl straight transcription. Well, I start reading over the new hire paperwork and it says pay is 0.065 VBC. So, I am not working for somewhere if they don't pay spaces. I email her and say I am no longer interested. She emails back and says that they do pay for spaces and that it has something to do with Bayscribe which i know nothing about. She wants me to reconsider? What do yo ...

I received no notice from OTI/the sisters that there would be any change/division of company - the only thing I received in my email has been from Mercedes. Am I the only one who OTI didn't contact before all this went down? ...

If I do an archive search for Oracle it does not tell me which company is good, bad or if they are both good or bad. Does anyone work for RecordsOne and if so will you share your thoughts? Thanks in advance. ...

No, I am not a "suit." ...

I was an MT for over 40 years and loved it, first working in physicianâ��s offices, then hospitals, and when hospitals shut down MT department I worked at home. Unfortunately over time, this phased out for me too, as I sat by the hour waiting for work, not making enough to get by. Jobs outside the home were difficult and discriminating, I felt, because of my age. Even retirees as Walmart greeters arenâ��t so plentiful. Trying to find an answer wasnâ��t easy with bills piling up and rent o ...

After nearly 30 years of MT/ME, I have seen this profession circle the drain, going down the proverbial toilet, and I don't even recognize it any more. It's not fun anymore. It saddens me to think how some of the greedy big MT companies totally messed things up for many of us (can you say OUTSOURCING?). True, there are a few that are still making a decent living; consider yourselves very fortunate. I'm glad I have something else to fall back on and not settle for peanuts.&n ...

how is the platform. I know people have negative comments about them but are there any positive ones. I would only try it PT and IC. Not sure that would work out or not. ...

is that correct? If so, are CB and DF still involved? I love Bayscribe, and I was thinking about biting the bullet and applying to Nuance for some PT work, but I kind of butted heads with the 2 ladies and so I don't want to waste my time. Thanks for your input. ...

I was notified today that I have been chosen for a job with the local hospital - not doing transcription. I finally get to say goodbye to no vacation, no sick pay, working 24/7, no pay increase, no recognition for a job well done, having to worry about my own taxes, and just everything that goes along with it, like the lying and back-stabbing from managers *** and owners ***, and having to deal with QA who says they follow BOS, but then makes things up as they go. Its an 8 to 5 job ...

When I was a medical transcription student last winter at a local two-year college, most of us students joined AHDI at the encouragement of our instructors. My membership has expired and in today's mail was a membership renewal request from AHDI. I tossed it in the trash. I can't afford the membership because I can't get a job because AHDI supports offshoring of medical transcription jobs. Goodbye, AHDI. ...

Well I did it finally. I quit Transcend. I hope they will eventually wake up and realize that VR does not enable you to double your production, but I doubt they ever will. I realized that after they switched all my accounts over, I really cared so little about my accounts and if I was making mistakes that it was time I left. I felt absoloutely no loyalty to this company anymore. They don't care about me, why should I care about them. I am leavi ...

I dread this change to Transcend and doubt very highly it will work out at all for me. Good luck to all the MTs. ...

I lucked upon my first MT position because of a friend. The clinic where we worked was closing. I was a nurse and had just found out I was pregnant and she was our office transcriptionist. Not many places want to hire a pregnant nurse, so doing transcription seemed to be the answer to my prayers. Just about the time I was ready to go back to nursing.....ooops pregnant again. So, I stayed doing transcription for eight years (not nearly as long as most of you on here) ...

See you again in 11 months! ...

I'm going back to full-time at M*Modal. Maybe not the perfect situation, but they pay 25% more, I never run out of work, and I'm always treated with kindness and respect. Nuance reeks. Goodbye QA losers. Goodbye hateful supervisors. I hope you all rot. Maybe I'll even turn you in to the Labor Board for your illegal practices. Don't think since you are so big you can't hurt. The bigger they come, the harder they fall. ...

Meridian was probably one of the last MT companies in the industry with integrity. They had very flexible schedules, above average pay, always plenty of work, wonderful QA, very reasonable expectations, and respect for their employees. I had hoped to retire there. It was very comfortable. The future does not seem as bright now. Even if this profession does not completely die, companies like Meridian will soon cease to exist. It was a good run while it las ...

Just said goodbye to most of my accounts with OTI that went to Mercedes. - sad MT
