question about mergers - curious

Posted: Jun 07, 2010

Can anybody tell me what companies have merged together? I know about Medquist and Spheris, but I just want to know what other ones there are. thanks

Two that I can think of off the top of my head are - - s/msg

Transcend + MDI, and Acusis + DRC. There are more than that, but right now I can't rember which which ones. Didn't Spheris either buy or get bought by somebody a while back?

Cymed and SPI

Cymed and SPi - tired, tired metatarsal

Talk about a loser merger. I lasted 6 months by gritting my teeth with SPi until I could not take it any longer. Then I moved to TRS, and they got gobbled up by Transcend, almost as bad.... can't take much more of this craziness.

We now know all too well, either from our own experience, or from the experiences of other MTs we've been reading about here, that mergers DO NOT benefit the MT. They promise us we will still have our jobs. WE WON'T. They promise us we'll make more money on their spiffy new software. WE WON'T. They promise us our cpl will not go down. IT WILL. They promise us the MTs of the purchased company will more work. WE WILL MOST LIKELY HAVE LESS. (Or ...

As a current DTS employee and having gone through a merger before, being acquired by MQ from a different company, the merger was not good. I am hoping that things will be different this go around, but it just does not look promising. Everything they promised and said would not change did change. We did not take an actual pay cut, but changing platforms provided their means of a pay cut. I went from making excellent money a month, to struggling to make even $1000 a month.& ...

I just want to say how sorry I am for those of you at TT. This had to have hit you guys like a ton of bricks. iMedX is heavily technology-based. You will likely not see a lot of changes for a several months (they seem to be in the buying phase) but once the dust settles, I would imagine a significant percentage of their MTs will be gone. Technology combined with their significant Indian presence, there just simply wont be the need. I'll be really anxious to hear w ...

Has anyone heard of any shakeups at Spheris? I heard there is a new guy in charge and all the job postings on their web site have gone away. I have a friend working there and would like to know of any information so I can tell him. ...

MTs who worked previously for companies bought out by Nuance I was wondering did any of you work using satellite internet? If so, what happened when you Nuance took over as Nuance says no satellite? I use satellite internet so I'm wondering what will happen with Nuance when they take over Transcend. Initially, I'm sure I would be able to use it, but if the platform is changed, then what? I'm just wondering should I find another job now that accepts sat. or ...

Have had me feeling as if some of us who have been at Transcend longer were not offered what they have been offering recently, maybe that is why I have seen so many people leave. It was 8 cents per line for transcribing and 4 cents for VR. When you cannot make your 900 dollars every two weeks you are then moved to part time, bennies are taken away and you do not get PTO. I was feeling pretty devalued, but then I thought maybe later on they may tell the new people some excu ...
