! It's a brave new world, people. There is nothing but greed. We are doomed.

I think they want 1 rate for MT, regardless of country. - nm

I'm starting to think that too ... one rate fits all - anon

Regardless of your experience, your training, your work ethic, your rate of production or your quality, American or Indian, doesn't matter - one sucky rate fits all.

It seems like it's working its way to this direction.

You are right - sm

and they know it. Many times, someone on here has tried to set a date where no one works and nobody will do it. Everybody is too worried about their job. I understand that, but nothing will get done except smaller and smaller wages if people don't make a stand and let them know we are not going to take it. You have to fight for things and take risks. There is no way everyone could get fired. There is no way all the work could go to India. You have to fight for what you believe in and until everybody gets together and does that, nothing will change except smaller and smaller wages.

Gear Player Wont Convert Files?

Hey guys, I'm so frustrated because for some reason my Gear Player will not play my files. This is the second time this has happened. I don't know what I did the first time to make it work, it just sort of happened. When I get work, the files will automatically go into Gear Player, but then when I try to load to file it says "Converting File" and then it just never loads. It doesn't make any sense because it happens to files that I've already played too so I know they should ...

What Is The Point Of Asking You What
Feb 04, 2010

specialty you really don't like if that is all they are going to give you? Now, before anyone flames away, I was hired by the Q several months ago as a tier 3.  I pull my weight, work my shift, and don't have too much to complain about except for NJA from time to time. When I was hired, they asked me specifically what specialties I like the most and what I like the least.  I was told that if there was a specialty that I really disliked or didn't have as much experience ...

Where The Finger Should Point
Jul 20, 2011

So much ire and angst pointed at MTSOs.  I even read where the TAT is a marketing ploy :)   It helps to remember that we're all in the same boat and for the same reasons, to support ourselves. What so many of you don't seem to get is that the INSURANCE industry is dictating much of the TAT.  If reports aren't on a chart in xxx time then the facility/physician is dinged financially. If an MTSO doesn't meet TAT, they are dinged financially.  So they a ...

With 30 years of experience over many platforms (16 of which are from home), what is the point of applying to any of these companies? They are few and far between.  They certainly do not want to pay anyone what they are worth (since they can just outsource on the cheap)... Most of the time you don't get a response from any of them anyway, not here and not on MTDaily either. ...


0.5 Point Taken Off For Blanks SM
