Tired of being lied to and never being able to pay bills - sm


Posted: Oct 26, 2011

So this last place I started working said "these are old accounts that are not going anywhere."  Hmm, so why did I get an email last night saying they were keeping all work inhouse?  I am so sick and tired of worrying about money.  The really sad part is I have already applied everywhere and no one will hire me (Wal-Mart, McDonald's).  Just so tired of it all.  I wish someone wrote a book and entitled it How to be Homeless because that is what I am going to be.

me too... - Anon

I am in the same boat! I was only able to get 300 lines on my shift because that was all there was---and I am on 3 accounts. There is hardly any work during the week anymore, so I am left trying to scramble to get in done on the weekends. I am using the skills I have gained from MTing to get into another line of work in health info technology. I, too, cannot pay my bills anymore and living with my mom.

These companies are purposely starving out US MTs - so they can hire more foreigners.

All these big nationwide MTSOs need to be investigated by the Feds, and then SHUT DOWN.

The big MTSO is not a US company. They are OS owned, feds cant - do anything to OS owned companies. nM

Hate Being Lied To
Oct 27, 2014

My old manager (LC) informed me via telephone last week about the whole POD thing and how I'd be getting a new manager, etc., etc.  She said she was going to be the person who now does alll the Teamwork stuff.  She LIED.  Bold faced lied to me (and about 100 of you).  She is not moving over.  She's moving out.  She probably did it to save face, not have to answer a gazillion questions, etc. but now I just feel betrayed.  100% betrayed.  So in an ...

I Think The Company Heads That Merge With Transcend Are Lied To As Well. Sm
Nov 25, 2009

I did not blame the company I worked for for selling out to Transcend as I figured they were told the same thing we were told, which was that nothing would change and their transcriptionists would be treated fairly.  I think when things do change you can't blame your old company for that since they are probably surprised by it all just like you are. ...

Tired Of It Yet?
Oct 07, 2011

Almost everything I read on this board expresses a common thread of disgust with the Q.  If you really hate that the work is going to India, if you really hate that MedQuist is a greedy heartless monster, and if you really despise what is happening to our medical records because of this company, why keep helping it out by staying and helping them make more money by paying slave wages?  I see these words and phrases:  unethical, greedy, corrupt, lower and lower wages, wor ...


Are We Tired Enough Of ISR?
Jun 26, 2012

Are you as tired as I am of making dumb little corrections in the ISR system? This morning, I am spending all my time âuncapitalizingâ regular words in the middle of sentences. Where does it come up with the underline in the middle of laboratory values (1._4). It adds a colon after dates and this morning the abbreviation, MD, is after some of the headings. There are no paragraphs. I delete numbers in a list because they are never right and it is easier than going back and changing the ...


So Very, Very Tired Of This

I do not like working this late.  But, this is generally when the work is available and I understand that it is my best chance of getting work.  Not very many people on my account on a Monday night.  I see 23 reports, op notes, that are easy lines, require an insert, and right when I am about to begin to be able to download them, all of them are gone.  This happens all the freakin time.  Somebody had to pull and assign them for them to disappear in a chunk like that.&nbs ...

Is there life after transcription?  Suggestions appreciated! ...

Testing And Tired :(
Nov 29, 2009

It is getting very hard to even find the energy to test anymore. I have tested till I am blue in the face and dont understand why it is so hard to get a job in this profession. I graduated top of my class with a 3.98 and you would think I would have had a job by now. I did not think it would be this hard to land a good job but wow this really is a hard profession to get started in. I seem to do well on the test and dictations but they always send me emails telling me they have already filled th ...

I just don't have the energy or patience today to try and figure out what the h3ll ...


Tired Of Testing

Does anybody know of MTSOs that don't require transcription testing?  I'm so tired of spending time testing only to be offered very low cpl in my opinion.  I've been an MT for 20+ years and am trying to find a part-time job.  However, all this testing is really starting to wear me down.  Aren't there any MTSOs out there that just call references anymore?  I'm an IC and have lots of references and regularly do fill-in ...
