Regarding a September thread about MTs being "nasty, miserable" people

People I've ever come across. Time after time on this board, I've seen people ask simple questions that only require simple answers. But it never fails that someone, and usually more than one person, has to add nastiness, or rudeness in their answers. Some of you go out of your way to try to bring people down, make them feel bad, belittle them, etc. Will a little kindness kill you? I hate to think some of you act this way to people offline. But I guess it's the whole being b ...

You ask a question, and instead of just answering it or ignoring it, people love to give smart aleck replices. Why are some people here so nasty? There are a lot of helpful and nice people here, of course. ...

One after another, audit nastygrams, QA percent nasty grams, line count nasty grams. They never end. Supervisors pissed and surprised MTs don't show up and MTs quit. Supervisors aren't smart enough to acknowledge why that is and manage it better. Never ends. Yes supervisors pissed and surprised MTs don't show up and MTs quit and aren't smart enough to figure out their contribution to it all. Neverending accounts of nasty grams from all corners and supervis ...

After failing the Medquist test in September 2009, they just e-mailed me today saying Medquist - Eligible to Retest. Just a few hours later, I got another e-mail saying "Employment Update - Medquist. You are eligible to retest." I thought a lot of people are losing their jobs at Medquist. Why the desperate urge to hire, especially people who failed their employment test? ...

I get so many accounts that I don't know whether they are helper accounts or not. Just when I give a sigh of relief because I have had steady work since the layoffs, looks like they are going to pull the rug out again. My pay is pitiful, but I need this job until January when I finish school and hopefully get a job. ...

Why do you stay? We ALL know this is a dieing field. We ALL have taken paycuts. If your young take control of YOUR destiny and do something about it...If this wasnt a last career for me, I certainly would retrain and do something different. The object of a job is to love it and make the most money possible doing the least amount of work. Find what you love and move on.. Im not being mean, just saying..Who loves this job? I dont, I dont hate it, it pays the extra bills..and Ill stay. But i ...

My line count is circling the drain. This is the most gawdawful program they have ever come up with. I hate no more "End of Session" button. The numbering system is cool, but doesn't make up for the rest of the crap. If it wasn't for the health insurance, I would be outta here. ...

I'm curious as to why Nuance would do this? Why would they give QC a bonus and make ours so darn hard to acheive? Why would they allow QC to continue to make up bogus errors to only make us look really bad? I think I know. If they show their clients that the US based MTs have worse qulaity than the India based MTs and are more expensive, they could switch over 100% of their client base to India and get rid of all of us and the expense of having us like future Obamacare insurance, P/R ...

I posted below under are you happy section and responded to someone who said Americans are not spoiled which I very much think I am (now). I told about how life is for me and got so many dislikes; however if you post about your terrible life, cannot find nor keep a job, have to go on goverment assistance, not knowing where your next meal is coming from, not enough to pay your rent, everyone then is like a cheerleader all in your corner. Not everyone is in the same boat but I think most would lov ...

No more working every weekend, no more FIESA!, no more new accounts and then getting dinged for mistakes on new accounts.... best of alll no more weekends with my computer instead of with my family.... ...

It amazes me how nasty some people can be regarding QCs. They make mistakes just like everyone else. If they mark something incorrectly, I'm would be willing to bet that it is just a mistake. Like the posting about S1-S2, do you really think that QC intentionally marked that wrong? No, of course not, it was a mistake. Those of you who are making such nasty remarks, are you perfect? I don't think so. Instead of complaining about the people who a ...

Sniffling nose, like there are no tissues in a HOSPITAL. And this is a woman dictator. The women are not usually so gross. Not like those nasty men with their huge sinuses which force the poor transcriptionist to listen to the snorts and snot gushing around. GROSS! Grab a damn tissue, will you? And -- I typed her last week and she was still sniffling then. DRY IT UP! And she wants to do surgery tomorrow. DOUBLE GROSS! ...

Dear Dr. Phlegm, stop, PLEASE stop trying to "hock a loogie" while you are in the middle of the dictation. That is freaking gross and I do not want to hear you trying to bring it up! YUCK AND UGH!!! ...

It seems that my TSM gets nastier and meaner every week! Maybe they offered her a new bonus plan? ...

What do you dislike most about this company? 1. Attitude toward MTs value in general reflected in low pay in particular. ...

I have been at home working full time for about a year. I have been an MT longer, but I always had kept a job outside of the home also because I like interaction with other. I have found that I am starting to lose my people skills. Do others have this same problem? It is like I have forgotten how to really be able to hold a conversation with others. This is something that really bothers me as I have always loved customer service and working with people and main ...

I understand that the MTSOs sign contracts and promise tight TATs, but when an account has had the dreaded NJA at multiple times of the day, then why send out an e-mail stating that we need to keep the account within the 24-hour turnaround or the company will hire even more people for the account. The account cannot possibly be out of contract if there is no work available. These e-mails just prove that the MTSOs overhire and don't give a damn about whether the current workers c ...

Rather than a "thank you" for spending a LOT of uncompensated time trying to locate a patient in their records with NO demographics, (no MRM, no spelling of name, no age given, no DOB) and a name that has MULTIPLE possible spellings I get a nasty note that it was in the system. Where do these people get off paying us nothing and then bitching at us for taking all the additional time to create temporary demographics, email them with all the data, etc., per their protocol? I really think we ...

to realize that they are being totally played by Nuance and will be next in line to be driven away and finally quit or fired because of lack of work. Oh how I hope to witness that day when these weasely wannabe corporate ladder climbers get their just reward. ...

There's a thread on the Coding board where someone got her first coding job and got a higher salary because of her MT experience. Finally someone recognizes that we have value. It's a shame that it has to be a coding employer instead of an MT employer, but that's the way it is. MTSOs don't appreciate their employers; coding employers do. They demonstrate that by PAYING for services done, not continuous abusive e-mail, IM, and paycuts. ...

Just wondering how you deal with these nasty, witchy managers? Been doing this over 25 years now and am disgusted. I'm guessing they must be really miserable people. Just exhausted trying to do my best for so long, several surgeries for life-threatening tumors, and can't believe what I still have to go through with these people at my age. ...

an email recently for a "concerned" MLS - never, ever had that happen on this board until the posts went up about the DOJ, DOL and all the bogus "errors" the QCs are hitting us for. Check out the posts saying "what do you mean bogus errors - can you be specific; I don't get it; what errors?" What MLS working for Nuance does not understand what a "bogus error" by Indian QC is? Work for Nuance for a nanosecond, and you know immediately they dump on the MLS� ...

I am moving this up to the top because I think it is an important issue. I am referring to my post below about looking at old reports and seeing the work of another MT at my company. It was a VR report that was obviously not edited or just skimmed over. I will look at other reports from this MT, and if I see more than 2 or 3 more with the same problems, I will report it. As was said below, it is above all an issue of patient safety. I am concerned about my ...

When a company decides to make an account VR, are all the reports a mess to begin with for weeks or months until the voice engine (sorry if that's the wrong term) learns from the "straight" transcription that is done? Why do different platforms matter (i.e., E-scription versus M-Modal, etc). Is it possible for a company to get an account and make it VR from day 1, or do they have MTs do regular transcription on it for awhile? I guess I'm just trying to figure outwhat I sho ...

I cannot find the long thread that started with Tracy's posting. ...

what happened to the thread where Poorhouse gets to go back to school through the TAA petition? That was valuable information. Can't imagine why it got deleted. ...

I am the OP of the long thread below. In it someone says that MM has high standards and if you can't meet them, it's your problem. Well, this company does not have high standards. What it has done is create artificially high and unrealistic standards for the MT only so that they can find as many ways possible to reduce their salaries or terminate them if they so desire. If they had high standards they would periodically review the dictionary and take out all the ...
