Lost Job Today - Anonymous

Would seem a little suspicious that I am Tier 3 and make a decent line rate. Looks like my handwriting on the wall. Have been just typing away, trying not to draw any attention to myself, work my shift, no griping about anything. Doesn't matter. Whoever will do it the cheapest gets the work. ...

Dear Fellow Transcriptionists: I just want to vent and tell you what happened to me today. I lost my job today because I got a 97.9 on my quality review, which was done on my work in about 3 years. I was working as an independent contractor and I was told that I was being terminated and when I asked if I could be put on another account, they said they were not hiring employees just independent contractors, no employees. I am so upset. I have been a transcriptionist for 10 years this ...

By this time in the day, usually, there has been at least 7 emails - several from QA, at least 2-3 backlog updates, and 1 reminder to work our shift and work our entire shift. ...

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. ...

I just received an email that was addressed to us ladies stating that as of Friday this week, we are not needed anymore because all doctors in a certain place are switching to EMR. It was a whole city. This is the first I have heard of this, that is, all their accounts in this city are switching. God Help us All ...

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" ...

Under IC QA - thanks (waaaay down there - lots of comments) but after you read this - do I have options? ...

Last week I was told that the account I was working on went to EMR and they do not need any of the MTs on that account anymore. :( I have been sending out my resume but no bites. I have 12 years of MT experience. Where are the jobs? ...

I was doing something on the internet in Explorer and I did something that made my toolbar at the bottom go away. Can anyone help me get it back? Thanks in advance. ...

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 ...

From an article written 2 days ago regarding MQ's settlement of a lawsuit filed by Kaiser against Medquist (which MQ settled for 2 million, by the way): The company reported net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as increasing $20.1 million or 25.9 percent to $97.5 million compared to $77.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. ...

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. ...

Has anyone else lost their job with MxSecure because of the independent contractor going to employee only status. I was informed that they are not hiring in my state and several others, but they would let me know if they decided to later. Any information? ...

My normally caught-up to NJA area has been frequently going out of TAT this last week with an outrageous amount of work, even after losing a huge account to the ILPs. I suspect these new expectations have caused many to quit, obviously. ...

Hospital I work for just switched over to Epic. I was informed this week that I will be laid off as a coder - I am no longer needed. Instead, they will hire coders as data analysts, document improvement specialists and managers. But, in order to get these jobs I need a degree. I do not have a degree, just my CCS as well sa my CPC. I feel like crying and giving up on this career. First as a laid of MT to a laid off coder. I don't want to be in this b ...

a report done by an MT that has been with the company since 1994 and spelled lichen planus with a K, e.g.,"liken planus." Not a good sign. ...

Well it was bound to happen. Our doctors have gone with VR 360 and we have about a month to "get out" basically. Yep us five ladies have been evicted. Some have been there 20+ years. It was only a matter of time I guess. Get this..the department head started the meeting with a prayer (probably praying we wouldn't kick his butt) and then at the end they handed us employee assistance brochures for counseling services. HA! I guess I should be happy they gave a notice but it was like "wel ...

It is quite a shock the first pay check? I have always made it - lost the QA one but that one always seemed to be half tax anyway, so did not mind so much, but now that will be $100 (typically was my production bonus) less for me a week and also no incentive whatsoever to type more per line OR any more at all. I am certainly NOT going to spend 3 months trying desperately to get "back on top" and get the production bonus again. It just seems so arbitrary, and the errors have been ramped up, both ...

I can't believe I got a letter in the mail today stating that they've cut off my health care benefits because my hours have been cut. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I work the same number of hours every week and have since Nuance took over. On paper they have me down for 29 hours and I work 32. All of a sudden I'm not working enough hours and now being told to get COBRA!!!! This is the absolute last straw! ...

Did work from health system with numerous sites in the south get sent to India or did they dump MM? Either way, how will there be enough work for those of us left dangling in the wind here? ...

Just heard that we lost one of our biggest accounts because of TAT. I'm sure this means no more overtime, probably will be running out of work a lot too. Too bad 'cause I loved all the overtime. ...

Hi everyone:) Hope some of you can help me out. I am new to the company, and boy am I confused. I have repeatedly asked for some things to help me out, but I rarely hear from my TSM, and I feel I am being avoided. I am totalliy worn out, the dictators are horrible! I have so many blanks in some of the reports, I feel like I am doing a horrible job, and I have a lot of experience. No feedback at all. ...

I just recently started with a company that I am overall happy with, but they seem to have a lot of errors with their computer program and we lose reports. My concern is that we get absolutely no compensation for these lost reports and are just basically told "so sorry; it doesn't happen often." I just typed a 3 page report that was just lost and have been on the phone on hold with the Help Desk for 30 minutes and for this almost hour I will not be compensated. My old comp ...

We lost our account because an MT had a disagreement about how long she was put on QA for. She decided to quit and demanded all money be paid right then. When she was told that she would be paid for that pay period when payment was originally due she wouldn't have it and went to the main company worked was subbed from, started a big mess and to make a long story short, nobody has a job now cause we lost the account. Why does 1 MT have to ruin things for everyone. I r ...

How do I save my expansions so they will not be lost. I have some save on a thing I bought at Wal-Mart, but back in the days when 1-800 Dictate was a real help, they saved it for me. I do not remember how to do it. TIA. ...
