TT news - hmmm

Posted: Oct 29, 2014

Any opinions on the news today of office closing? Not many were named as being shifted to working at home. I hope that doesn't mean everyone else was let go.

I hadn't heard about that. - TTMT

I work at home. Will the supervisors be working from home now?

Will they be working at all? - Nm

Yes - hmmm

There were some office names listed in an email yesterday that were going to work from home now. I have no idea if all the leads are being kept, hope so. It was sort of casually tossed out in an email that folks needed to get that antivirus program downloaded asap because the office would no longer be open starting Friday. That's when the new payroll starts also. Wonder what else is going on. Hope that's it for awhile.

TT New Payroll? - Uninformed

Have not been told about a new payroll. When does this start, 11/01? (which would be the beginning of a new pay period). Thanks.

Payroll - hmmm

You didn't get word of conference call this week? There are 2 more sessions tomorrow.... would be good idea to hook up. It was a good one. First paycheck on new payroll system is Friday, so it's immediate. Time sheet continues as it has been, but change expected later on. If you didn't get email on conf call, should contact your mgr & get details. I'm assuming this is for all of TT, but it sounded like other companies were in the conf call also.

Who was named to work at home? - Just initials

Everyone in the Houston office - iMedX sucks

It was anyone who wasn't already working at home. Diana emailed a while back that she was going to be working from home, and that was my first clue to start looking for a new job. This isn't my first rodeo with a buyout - and everything is going according to plan in terms of how long before we are all out of a job. Not trying to provoke paranoia, but this is the FOURTH TIME I've been through a buyout. I give my job another 3 months tops.

What's "TT" - ??

first I heard of it was yesterday's e-mail - but then, I never got the 10/13 e-mail that supposedly went out from imedx. All I get are the e-mails sent to their India employees.

me too - email

[ In Reply To ..]
The only email I have gotten was intended for employees in India. Great first impression, Imedx, and I also love the fact that when I log onto email, the home screen says imedx India. Great way to reinforce what Transtech has been telling us ... that our jobs are not in jeopardy and you intend to keep us all. Really great for morale to feel that little pinch every time I check my email, a gentle reminder that my job could be outsourced any moment.

Former TT employees - bow down

thank God, it's not just me. I love those "gentle reminders." Am starting to wish I had not come back from vacation.

Well, I tried that thing to access payroll, (sm) - IOW

[ In Reply To ..]
to create an access to my pay information. Couldn't get in, so I changed the user name and PW according to their instructions, and it did not recognize me from my personal record. So that's it for me. I sent them an email per instructions, and don't really care if I never can access it.

payroll access - hmmm

[ In Reply To ..]
You won't be able to access payroll until tomorrow. You can set up your sign-on but no access yet.

That's what I mean. I can't set up the sign on. (sm) - Question

[ In Reply To ..]
Am I supposed to use the user ID and the PW that I have for email? OR am I just supposed to go to the first time user as it says in the instructions.

user - hmmm

[ In Reply To ..]
Go to "first time user". I forget the various instructions, but it's pretty easy. Just follow what it says. It will give you a temporary user ID, but you should change it. The good news is you can use anything you want for both user ID and password. It's completely up to you. After you set that up, it'll do the usual screen for setting up security question/answer. Click the arrow or whatever it is to select a question, type the answer. If I remember right, that's the end of set-up. You can try it out tomorrow, but it should work.

Ok, I got it. I was thinking I had to use the email - user and PW. Thanks

You need to use your "old" TT email address for sign-in. I kept trying with IMedX email addy that is supposedly getting ready to be used (except I too see all the stuff meant for India, which I mentioned to AD who said it is not really set up yet...) no kidding....then tried the TT email and that worked. So I guess we are still TT, at least a little bit ;)

Thank God. - me

I opened a ticket yesterday for ASR, asking them to have H and H expand out to hemoglobin and hematocrit for my account, and less than 24 hours I got a message saying it was done! Unbelievable. Seems crazy we would all have to do this, but if we all do this, maybe some positive change could actually come. I gave them the account, an internal job number, and my contact number and just stated what the problem was. My understanding is this was corrected for this ...

This whole thing makes absolutely zero sense to me. Webmedx has 500+ employees, right? What management is going to make an announcement regarding a publicly traded company and then tell employees not to talk? I would think announcing changes like that would put them at risk of actually influencing the stock. And they have to know it's ridiculous to think that many people are going to keep the announcement confidential. To me, it seems extremely irresponsible of Webmedx any way I look at it ...

I interviewed for a job at a local, major hospital. It was interesting to learn that the HIM department is in the process of bringing transcription back in house, at least partially. It was claimed that their transcription company was not doing a satisfactory job. This might be good news my MT friends. Maybe this will be a trend? I'm certainly hoping so and I mentioned how excited I was about the possibility of in-house transcription jobs being available in th ...

Hey MTs who work for Nuts, In my opinion, with the system being down and Nuts hurting to get the work back to their clients, and Christmas almost here, what a GREAT TIME to say: "I have some EXCITING NEWS!

After losing my long-time transcription position last year (along with many other people) and applying for a variety of jobs over the past several months, I have been hired by a medical facility as a HIMS Tech. I am also relieved to have found something with a decent commute. This is the area I wanted to transition into, so I am glad to be moving in a new direction which I think will suit me well. ...

There have been no conference calls for me?

I've been following the MT boards and what I mostly read are MTs complaining about losing jobs, lower pay scales, outsourcing, offshoring, voice recognition, electronic records, and other technology enhancements that seem to be putting MTs out of work. Is there any future for the MT profession? Is there any good news or is this profession going the way of the buggy whip? I would certainly like to read some good news about the future prospects of MT. Thanks Hopeful in Hob ...
