Wow!! I was just offered 2 cpl to QA!! - ME
Posted: Jan 20, 2010
Why dont they just start asking us to work for free! At that rate I dont even think you make minimum wage! This is obviously not even because of outsourcing. I think what has happened is that a lot of work has gone overseas, but the remaining work that the transcription companies are getting is still paying a half-ways decent rate but they have taken a small cut to keep them. Then they turn around and pay NOTHING to get it transcribed so the people running the companies arent taking much of a cut. It is obvious. We could work for foreign companies and make as much as some of these transcription services are willing to pay. They are going to cut their own throats because nobody will work for them except for inexperienced.
WHAT AN INSULT! - old mt
[ In Reply To ..]Especially if you have to redue the entire note! Was that one of the big nationals?
You know what? (sm) - Long time MT
[ In Reply To ..]At 2 cpl, I think we might possibly make MORE money working overseas. That is just deplorable.
HA, HA, HA, so true! - Fingers
[ In Reply To ..]And at the same time, that is what makes it so sad - you weren't joking!!!!
Well, we would definitely make more on welfare. - And without all the wrist and neck pain. nm
[ In Reply To ..]-
I hope that when you declined the position - Oy
[ In Reply To ..]you told them exactly what you thought of their insult of an offer.
please, what is the name of the company? - n/m
[ In Reply To ..]..
The name begins with LS........ - ME
[ In Reply To ..]I didnt think of anything clever to say until after hanging up. I just told them that I am going to start soliciting physicians on my own. I was doing some housework a little while later thinking about that and thought I should have asked them why they just dont ask people to work for the fun of it!
Ya never know, when it goes to practically 0 cpl, and - only the inexperienced will do -sm
[ In Reply To ..]QA work, it might just come back around to bite 'em. Just wait til a few big, well-publicised malpractice suits arise from inaccurate medical records. Then the Big Cheese in the top-floor corner office at some big medical center might just realize it's better to bring MT back in-house, where they can have a little more control over what gets done, and who does it. That could start a trend...

Would Any Of You Take A Buyout From MQ If Offered?
Jun 20, 2010
In past months I have read on this board, with dismay, so many posts about long-time MQ MTs/MEs failing consecutive audits, and eventually being discharged. I think it is a major coincidence that so many employees are suddenly and consistently failing to meet the same quality standards they always met. I think it’s a flimsy contrivance to get rid of the more highly paid employees and replace them with cheaper newbies while avoiding an age discrimination actions because those higher-paid pe ...

Jan 27, 2015
We were out of TAT once last week and since then if there are more than 2 (well maybe I am exaggerating here) jobs in the pools they open up OT. Everyone needs to make money, so of course many of us come in and work. Understandable. But TSMs need to cut it off at some point so we don't wind up with nothing in the morning and slow, slow, slow to build up during the day once it is cleaned out at night. They want you to come back in early afternoon and make up ...

Employee Offered Insurance... Not Really Better Than My Own??
Jun 03, 2010
I am new to the MTSO thing. IC for 10 years and bought my own health insurance. It was $242.00 a month, and I let it go a few months ago after losing my job. Now I am being offered by my employer an HSA plan for around the same amount or a PPO plan for around $300.00. (this is them paying 60% and me paying 40% and that is what it equals??) This seems OUTRAGEOUS. Am I crazy? I am single, no children, spouse... under 30.... What is some opinions on going with ...

Offered VBC Line Rate

I have been offered a position for 0.08 VBC line/65 characters. I can obviously figure this is going to be less than with spaces. Is there anyone here who DOES get paid this way and if so, how much of a difference overall is it? I have not accepted the position and am not sure how offended I should be, or if I should be offended at all since "this is the new industry standard." I have been in this buisness a long time and have apparently never dealt with this "new" way of ...

one-doctor, one-nurse practitioner office that is 10 minutes from home in my small town where I will make $12 an hour or I could continue to work from home averaging basically the same rate of pay being paid on production. I'm not sure which to choose. I like working from home, but the in-office job is Monday through Friday, 9 to 5. No working late to get my lines or working weekends, but it also means an investment in some new clothes because it has been a very long time since ...
Low Wages Being Offered By So Many MTSOs
Jul 04, 2012
As a seasoned medical transcriptionist with over 30 years of experience, I can no longer contain my irritation with the low wages being offered by so many MTSOs. Therefore, rather than apply for the low-wage positions, I am e-mailing these companies and letting them know how insulting their wages are and what an asset I would be to their company, but refuse to accept these low wages. Some of you may not agree, but this is my form of protesting what has become of the medical transcription p ...

Offered A Job Away From Synernet, But Not Sure If I Am Jumping Out Of The Pan Sm
Aug 25, 2014
into the fire. From what I read here on the boards, most of the companies have something awful about them (or multiple things), so even though this company sounds a lot better (and it is also in Maine), I am at the same time excited as well as scared. When I hired on to Synernet I was ecstatic. The pay was low, but the benefits were great and it sounded like the people cared, plus "no VR in sight." Fast forward ....... VR, bad communication, soul-sucking notes from QA and management, paychec ...
