Would you stay with your company if they started sending some work overseas?

I quit working for On-Time Transcription due to VR and lack of income; also the fact they sold to Accentus. I get emails almost daily where QA is complaining about this or that. I've replied asking that she remove my email address as I quit and would really appreciate never hearing from this company again. I've received two more today. Ugh. Just shows how they are unable to get things done. ...

I am totally worn out. I have never in my life worked so hard for so little money. They nit-pick everything to death and there are so many pages of instructions that you just can't remember everything. I don't know how these companies expect us to manage a gazillion accounts, each with different directions, etc., but they do. McDonald's is looking better all the time. ...

Does anyone know of a legal recourse for work injuries caused by company equipment? A market leader, at-the-time generous transcription company sent me an old fashioned monitor, which after years of looking at it caused ocular saccades (lateral jitter of eyes). Also, they downgraded to cheap earphones with a solenoid in them that thumped, decreasing hearing permanently, evidently, in the solenoid fitted side of the headset. I think the saccades are diminished to absent now ...

Does anyone know how to send your resume when you fill out the online application at a company's website? There is the usual blank (tiny window) and to the right of that box it states browse. When you click on browse it takes you to where your resume is located on your computer, and then instead of actually putting your resume into the app, it just puts where your resume is located. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to do this. If someone would be so ki ...

TransTech. They will offer you great pay, but when you get going good and fast, they tell you to slow down!! Beware!! ...

You know who you are. You even asked questions on this board about setting up an MT company. You have even stopped answering/reading e-mails, even though I have not harrassed you or have even been nasty. I would, however, like to get paid. Your excuses that you are waiting for lines counts from the client and that you will keep me updated is wearing thin. Surely you must have line counts by now since the work was done in February. Or is it because you have spe ...

I started working for a company 2 weeks ago and it's about 99% VR, so I just edit all day. Sometimes I would rather type it because it would be faster than editing. Other times it is faster to just edit it. The problem is, it is going to take at least the length of the recording to get the job done either way, but with VR I'm being paid only 4 cents a line. It's the same work for less than half the pay I had before with straight typing. I just calculated up what I made ...

we're told internet outage is not acceptable reason not to work and to find alternative such as WiFi, etc. in a not so nice tone. Now we're told this is NOT acceptable (use of WiFi) as according to company policy. Make up your mind will ya? This TSM deserves a critical error deduction for misinformation (and the attitude). Shouldn't they be required to know company policy before taking on their position? ...

so, what do you think? I started working with them 2 weeks ago and at first, you have to pend all your work to QA which I have been doing and I haven't heard anything from anyone. Every other company I have worked with send you QA feedback so you know if you are on track or not. I am just worried that this place is shady and when it comes time to get paychecks, I will have a hard time. ...

One company to stay away from is Fast Chart, but they OVERHIRE BIG TIME, and you cannot make a living, always running out of work, they ask for shifts, but it's a free for all, and they even posted in their newsletter and congats to a VR editor or edited 53,000 lines in a pay period! Now, tell me how is that possible and maintain 98%, NOT. unless you are glued to the chair with a catheter, and also what about the other eidtors that needed the work! Letting people work a free for all in ...

Our company just started using a voice recognition program. Obviously, we get paid LESS PER LINE for reports doing it this way. The way I see it - this is a way to pay MTs LESS than they are worth. Of course, there is less typing, but with the voice recognition program I use, I feel like it would be faster for me to just type the dang report than make all of the corrections, medical, grammar, etc. ...

WARNING, WARNING I worked at SITS Solutions and never got paid for the work I did. I also had an associate that was done the ssame to. They give a false address on their contarcts 1016 W Franklin St Chicago but when I called there they had never heard of them. They are Indian based and have no US staff. If you want to work for free it's super opprotunity:) mtpro ...

Who do you work for then? If every company is horrible.. what do you do? It seems there are no recommended companies anymore, not one. In that case, it would seem that maybe everyone should start looking for a new career, no? Im not being negative...or mean. I am just curious. Where do you go from here when the pay is low, or the company is horrible? When I first started doing MT work 10 years ago this site was plumishing. There were a few companies ...

Okay, this is the second time while on this board (I only frequent it about twice a month) that I have come across "80% MT work being sent overseas". Could someone please fill me in (you can email me if you think it will be erased on here). Thank you so much! ...

I was reading below about the TAA. I have less and less work. I have had NJA all this week, never ran out at this time of year before. Last time they blamed it on the storms on the East Coast. My pay is continually going down, especially after the previous pay decrease, and now NJA. My question is how do I know if my accounts are going oversease, and this is why I am out of work to apply for TAA. Thanks for any help. ...

<sigh> With the USA going down the toilet fast (see Military Detention Act), I fleetingly thought about pursuing something overseas. I used to work with a lady who took a position in Saudi, Arabia. They paid to move her over there (into a dorm-type building with other MTs), where she lived for a year or two. She was subjected to incredibly sexist treatment by the Arab men BUT loved it there and wound up marrying an American she met while there. Of course, ...

Does anyone know if you can work overseas for MQ/MM or whatever it is called? My husband is in the military stationed in Germany and I would like to move over there with him. Thanks for any help with this! ...

I just saw a comercial on TV last night that says Mitt Romney outsouced to call centers overseas. That really upsets me and I for one will remember that when I go to the polls. I am shocked and apalled. He must need educated on the fact that Americans jobs are going overseas. ...

I have started training on an account over in the UK. Has anybody else been transferred to an overseas hospital? ...

Am skeptical of the 8cpl they SAY for straight typing...and most MTSOs nowadays have very little stright typing. This MAY be a comeon for one thinking they can make up for the 3cpl. You cannot live on 3cpl. Complicate that with all ESL dictators and then to have to pay taxes. Welcome to slave labor. ...

I was talking with some of my fellow MQians and the repository came up. Some people think that the repository was made so that the Indian workers can better understand their jobs. Now that I think of it I believe that is it so. What do you guys think? ...

I really need to get out of the MT profession. I am a newly single mom and am making less money as an MT than I was 5 years ago. I just cannot afford to do this anymore. I always see coding jobs posted at my local hospital. Do you think these jobs will be sent overseas just like transcription? I am thinking of going into nursing but don't know yet. What would be a good healthcare career to get into? ...

How can any company be compliant with HITECH/HIPPA when they send work overseas. Isn't that a HIPPA violation and should the patient be notified that their personal information, diagnoses, history, SS#, in some cases home address, DOB, etc, is sometimes mentioned in reports and overseas MTs have access to it? How can any company be compliant, especially with HITECH be compliant with these new laws, regulations, etc, when the patient is not aware their information is accessed overseas ...

Hello all, my question is this: my husband was just deployed overseas to Europe for a year and I hope to join him. The hospital I work for uses the DocQManage platform from Medquist. Does anyone have any experience with working overseas on the platform? I have asked my HR Department about working overseas and have yet to hear an answer from them. Thanks in advance! ...

I've tried finding this info on my own but can't seem to locate it on any reputable/trusthworthy site. What percentage of the MT/MLS jobs is sent overseas? I'm only asking because I was "bought" by them a short while ago and have recently purchased a house. When I was "bought" by MQ, all of my work went to India or somewhere unknown. My QA scores were always 99% to 100%, I could breeze through the line count w/ no problem, and I had a team lead I liked, so ...

Why the talk about our jobs being outsourced to India? Is this actually happening now?? I've been away from the business for a couple of years, but when I left it, everyone was very against outsourcing oversears. ...

Its like my group/team has almost ceased to exist. There is only work in the late afternoon up through the evening and then poof, its gone. We were told that a lot of it went off-shore, but now struggling to learn new accounts and its taking a toll on production and I am having to send more to QA. Anyone else experiencing this? ...

Would you stay with your company if they started sending some work overseas? - cardmt

It is a bad sign. Be loyal only to yourself in this business. - No message

I would stay with a company that pays my bills - ...

I'd stay only as long as it took to find another job - Ayn

Thanks. That's what I'm trying to do lately. - cardmt

The doctors and hospitals probably will never - know because QA SM
