Bet they are busy as kittens chasing their tails. Remember when MQ did something like this, reduced number of management per area, deleted one job category and then later had to re-adjust. Might just have been a cost cutting measure. I know we have to stay competitive with all the changes in the industry. I just hope this job lasts until retirement for me. Would NEVER recommend it to my children as a career choice. Too many changes/pay cuts, etc.

I would never receommend medical transcription to anybody. As you say too many changes, poor pay, brutal expectations for less than minimum wage at times. Sigh Sad, sad, sad....

Mine has checked in regularly, but says she is in Tennessee all week for training. Bet they are busy trying to learn all the new responsibilities!

Busy as kittens trying to chase all tails probably - describes it pretty well. :) NM

Not nothing in my region. We'll work fixed - 8-hour schedules, with the effect

Does fixed 8 hour schedules mean - you stay logged in all 8, no breaks?

[ In Reply To ..]
Or just that you can't go too much over your scheduled hours? Are you saying if your shift is 8-4 you are only allowed to be logged on for the 8 hours and any bathroom/food breaks you take you don't log out?

I will post as soon as I get clarification. I am supposed to get a call in the next few days to go over this info. I was definitely told that the old "12 hour window to complete 8 hours of work" was no longer a valid option due to tighter TAT and also we were told that this would help ensure adequate coverage and prevent running out of work with having too many people on at once. Holding my breath here!

Thanks for the info - I will try to concentrate on

tightening my work day up so it won't be so much of a shock to the system. I find it harder to get the high lines if I plug away for hours without clocking out, but then it is nice to finish earlier...have to work on going fast AND not clocking out so much...Thanks for any further info you can provide. Have heard nothing yet (no change for me yet), so this is helpful to know where the company is headed.

I heard it used to be a good place where you had 10 to 12 hours to do your shift? And now it has cut everyone to a strict 8 hour schedule. Is that true? And that you are in a big pool of a bunch of work where it is hard to get a good line count? I wanted to apply but now have second thoughts. ...

I am starting a new acct tomorrow. I sure hope I dont have to go through training. We never have been trained on the cesspool that we get, we just get new accts when our regular work is caught up, so why do we need training on a new account? That is ridiculous. MQ, please just let me work and make a living. Stop with all this changing CCMs and assigning new accts. This coming pay check I probably will have 2 days on it if that much. Geez.. ...

I'm on accts that do not allow any blanks at all through to the cliient. ALL blanks must go to QA. I haven't ever worked on an acct that would not even allow one blank to the client. Anyhow, might not would be so bad but the dictators are TERRIBLE! Many ESLs also. Combine no blanks allowed with terrible dictators = sending more to QA. That means docked pay if 5% or more. Oh, and don't let me forget, no samples yet. So you have to ho ...

Hi Transcend MTs:) It happened, and I never thought it would for this acct., but we have been without work, and when I signed in this afternoon there was only 1 job that I received in my pool.

clearly dictates a sentence that makes absolutely no sense. Just sort of an open-ended sentence, not even a fragment? I'm trying so hard to keep the blanks down, which my % is really okay, but I'm finding more and more that these docs are just not making any sense and the mistakes are getting ridiculous!!! Maybe they are texting when they are dictating........Anyhow, do you just type what they say and send it off or do you mark it for QA? ...

I was just wondering because I have worked for companies that basically encourage communication via email or IM amongst their MTs and then I have worked at companies that discourage communication with other MTs, there's only communication with your immediate supervisor and QA personnel. I was just wondering what everyone's preference is? The companies that discourage communication tend to give reasons such as one MT might become a pest and cause others to not get their work done ...

I'm sure a lot of you work on multiple accounts. I work on 3 different accounts. Right now I have my account specifics on my desktop, but this is aggravating to me. I think it would be easier to print them and put them in a binder to have easy access to them and put each hospital in its own tabbed section. Some people may think it's easier to have them on their desktop where they can click on them and leave them open in the background, but then I scroll and seems like cannot find w ...

Hospital is going to M-Modal. M-Modal said they would hire the in-house MTs. But I see on the board there is not a lot of work. Hospital normally has work 24/7. I guess this will change with MM taking over, right? We will have 23 jobs cut out here. So, do I have a chance of making money with MM? I am sorry, I am not being disrespectful, but it is making me almost sick. ...

Something to think about? Would it make any difference for any of us? I was called an IC by every company I've done transcription for. Apparently one of the main definitions by state or federal Dept of Labor is if you (the IC) make the choice of how the work is done and when the work is completed? But by that definition, would you not legally be an employee if the MTSO or company or whatever sets a deadline or specific time when that work is to be finished and returned t ...

They must have a lot of new people on this account. Maybe if they paid a decent salary that we can live on, there would not be such a turnover with this company.

I got switched to another acct (not my idea) and it has 24 pages of rules and I don't get paid training pay to learn this new acct. So I went from making 450 lines per hour to 160 lines per hour so in essence, making around $6.00 an hour and the QA's gripe when you don't spend your time looking up something through the 24 pages of new acct rules. Hey MM if you want us to spend hours looking up something before we learn the acct well then PAY US TO DO IT! CHEAP, CHEAP, C ...

Been on this account for three months and still cannot get my production where I need it to be in order to not work day and night to make minimum line counts, or most weeks not hit them at all. Found out I am not the only one that has complained; I talked with mgt two weeks ago and still had not heard anything. I contacted THEM today; I was told to be patient, they think they have found another place for me but need to fill my position first. The problem is, I have a ...

and I know it's temporary. My problem is that the company I work for requires a daily line count and expects us to work around our schedules and do anything we can to get those lines in. Usually not a problem. But this week is a holiday week and my husband and kids are home, and we scheduled things to do alone as well as with other family members and friends, so when my shift is over it has to be over. Christmas Eve/Christmas morning, yesterday, and it looks like tod ...
