Landmarkers - Did any of you who lost your accounts? - AG

Posted: Apr 09, 2013

Did any of you who lost your account(s) find elsewhere? Care to share where you are working?

I'm going to apply tomorrow. Two weeks with zero wages. - LM2

I got an email yesterday from Landmark - MT33

[ In Reply To ..]
Asking if I was still interested in employment for a new oncology account that they had coming on board. Maybe they are going to move some of the MTs that lost the accounts to that account as well. She said it should start up April 22nd.

Really? The email I got..... - notworking

[ In Reply To ..]
...said that there was a delay in the new accounts. She didn't know when they were coming, and asked if we still wanted to be on the waiting list for them. Weird....

I don't work there, I applied a couple of weeks ago - MT33

I applied a couple of weeks ago when there was an ad on the job seekers board and I never was asked to test or anything, then I get an email offering me a new oncology account, when I see other MTs complaining about work. I haven't replied, because I am not sure about it. If they move all of the out-of-work MTs to the new account as well, I will probably be without work anyway.

Just so you know....nearly all accts at LM are overstaffed and - LMoldMT

[ In Reply To ..]
run out of work daily. All LM cares about is turnaround time and so they overhire to keep the work done. Too bad if you are trying to actually make a living there-not gonna happen!

Was this re the new hem/onc account? - LM2

Apply for what? Unemployment? Another job? Sorry, not clear what you meant.

CJ - What I meant & Tech issues - LM2

[ In Reply To ..]
Sorry, I meant for another job as I've been waiting 3 weeks now for work. Just heard from K today though. Although I've been doing onc for almost 20 years I'm getting put on an ER account. At least I heard from her as I'd about given up hope of every getting work from them again. Now that I know the new onc account is starting 4/22 I hope to be able to transfer to it if my old PC can take another change in platforms. This ExText cannot be completely removed and I've spent over $250 on a tech to try to get it off. Now I have two of them on this PC and they want to install a third older one.

Dont' get too excited about switching over to ER acct - LMFEDUPMT

[ In Reply To ..]
with LM. It has been out of work all week-probably because those on acct lost have been moved over to one of the ER accts and now that is out of work too! Brother, can't K get this right!

Plenty of ER work on the other ER account - NY-MT

[ In Reply To ..]
In K's defense, I'm pretty sure she didn't wake up one morning trying to tool your world. Stuff happens, accounts move, life goes on. Sorry you're struggling, but take it straight to K, don't bash her here. FYI - I'm not K, or A for that matter. Just another LM MT.

Question re: ER account for NY-MT - Another LMMT

[ In Reply To ..]
NY-MT, is the other ER account on Bayscribe? (BTW, I totally agree with you about not bashing.)

Nope, I'm in ExText/ExEditor - NY-MT

[ In Reply To ..]
Honestly, I don't really know how many ER accounts Landmark has, I just know my account has so many files they've let another MTSO help with the overflow.

Stuff does happen... - LM2

[ In Reply To ..]
I think anyone who has been an IC for a number of years can imagine how difficult it is to maintain a work balance between accounts. Not only do they need to consider specialty experience, but platform compatibilities with equipment. Any IC knows how volume can dwindle to practically nothing before being bombarded with overflow. I just hope new accounts keep coming into Landmark. They have great MTs and there's no reason it should not pick up.

Getting concerned.... - Another LMMT

[ In Reply To ..]
I work on the ExText ER account part-time and I'm getting worried now with all of these MTs being moved to this account that work will completely run out. Thankfully, this is only a part-time/side job for me, but it's still incredibly frustrating.

Me too!! - LMMT3

[ In Reply To ..]
I am getting worried too. It is only part time for me as well but it has always been a good part-time income. I am thinking about saying something to K about it.

Thanks for the warning. - LM2

This lost accounts business is b.s. They have been pushing overtime in QA for a long time because they needed people and now they have the nerve to lay people off. Nice way to do business. I actually feel sorry for the workers left there with all of that work. They are going to drill those employees into the ground with work. ...

I used to work for 3-T and they lost accounts so we let go. Now have been in touch with them because they have obtained new accounts. Anyone else in this position? I think I would like to work for them again but reading the recent posts about the company causes me concern. The glitch now is about the computer. I can use my own if I upgrade or buy one from company. Not sure what to do here and now I feel like I am getting a bit of a runaround on the subject. My initial excitement is ...

Others may have figured this out but if this helps someone with getting prescriptions great. I was going through my 90 days probation, no insurance, but still had scripts with refills. Finally I talked with Wal-Mart and the medication I had been going without was only $4 per month without insurance, so you might want to see if you can go that route. Secondly, if and when this mess gets figured out, don't forget about the loss of compensation to the MT for the month of Janu ...

Has the work picked up at all in the last 2-3 weeks for anyone? Been told it is slow across all accounts and can't get a backup acct!

I need advice. I have just recently gone from employee (for over 35 years) to independent contractor. This has probably been asked or discussed before, but I never paid any attention to the discussions as it never pertained to me; now I wish I had read the posts. I feel lost here. I was hired in the usual manner, and told what my line rate would be. I understand the part about no taxes taken out, no benefits, etc. I was also told what hours/days they need ...

I trained for 5 days and was called today and told I was terminated. No explanation but their instructions on page breaks sucked and I had off and on problems with them. They sent a video to watch and and would not play on my computer and I told them about it. All they did was send it to me again and still didn't work. These companies are all about greed and do not want to take time to really train someone who really wants to learn their job. ...

After 14 years of transcribing for a medical practice, suddenly, without notice, I was "dumped." My client implimented the required EHR mandated by President Obama. I guess I was somewhat naive in not seeing this coming, but I assumed transcribed documents by a "real person" would still be wanted by my client. Now I find myself at age 57 without work. My next step is to inquire about verbatim transcription, but the idea of not correcting improper grammar and using "yeah" ...

Just heard today my local town's clinic will be going to EMR in September so those MTs will be losing their job (we are only 2000 people but the clinic is going EMR), another town 125 from me with about 100 MTs have just lost their jobs and a bigger town from there has lost about 100 MTs because of EMR. These are rural America and not big hospitals by any means compared to some of the bigger cities in the country. This is just not right and so, so, so sad. I also jus ...
