Spheris nightmares - J6pack


Posted: Nov 21, 2009

Had nightmares about my company last night.  I was told to go in the office of my boss and do some punishment work.  I sat there in front of this blank computer, would not turn on, and something said to sit in her chair, since she was not there, and start opening all the books and do the worksheets about what a bad person/MT I was.  Then, she popped up in the back of the office in black.  Scary, evil woman!  She said terrible things, and just as I kept telling myself this could not be real, I woke up.  THANK GOD!  I can't wait to leave that company, and I am very soon.  It has been the worst experience of my career, so sorry I signed on with them.  I will not give further details, and I will not back up anything, just sharing my experience.  You can take it at face value or question it or not beleive it.  It's up to you.

What platform are you on? Cornerstone? After they get through with my reports, rephrasing what the doctors say, grading me down for commas, I feel like they are trying to hang me up on a clothesline somewhere. I feel I can't do anything right, because it will automatically be wrong.

Spheris "proofing" - J6Pack

[ In Reply To ..]
With my many years of experience as an MT and familiarity with AHDI guidelines, etc., the changes that proofing makes are NEEDLESS most of the time. The editing is opinionated and many times wrong. I just don't care any longer.

I guess I wouldn't care so much about their editing things, if they wouldn't give me points off my QA score because of this. Also I am encouraged to leave blanks if I don't understand a word so I don't get a comprehension score which is 2 points off. So I leave a blank and it is counted as a major error. Too many major errors like this, and you can't pass your QA score for the week.
Work - Thanks for warning

I would never work at such a place! I have worked 2 hospitals and 2 agencies and never heard of such.

New Job Training Nightmares - Share Yours
Aug 12, 2010

This is the 2nd position I have found myself in in under 3 years.  Again, I am facing being trained by a person who is giving me information so quickly, it is impossible to write it down, left alone remember it.  logmein123 - I watch this MT go through the steps and she is moving through the steps at a furious speed, mumbling about going into the wrong window, back out, into something else, "write this down."  Sets me up and leaves out vital step which I don't realize for a ...

Spheris MTs
Nov 10, 2009

Hey Spheris MTs out there.  I worked for Spheris for a while not too long ago but quit for another company.  Nothing wrong with Spheris at all, just love the new company flexibility much, much more.  I loved the expander program Spheris used (Shorthand 10.0) so much that I ended up buying the program to use on my new job.  Problem is there are so many tips and tricks that Spheris provided for using Shorthand 10.0 that I never got to put into action and quit before I thou ...

Whispers range from a sale to a bankruptcy, with the former gaining steam in the past week after a blogger in India reported competitor Cbay Systems Ltd. had struck a deal to buy Spheris’ operations in that country. Both Spheris and Cbay declined to address the potential sale. Spheris has ...


Spheris - Another Medquist
Jan 30, 2010

I had an interview with Spheris yesterday.  It sounds too good to be true - more per line than I'm making now, plus production bonus and weekend shift differential?  And better insurance too.  Okay. I worked for MQ.  My check got smaller and smaller as they revamped the bonuses and brought in VR (which absolutely refused to be taught anything).  So tell me the truth - would I be jumping back into the same fire with Spheris? ...
