feeling stupid

Ugh, I never encountered this before. I have some different accounts. There is this INANE gender check which kicks out he or she if it is not the patient's gender. OMG, the dumas people who have nothing better to do and set this up apparently do not realize males may have mothers or girl friends and vice versa. I'm so sick of wasting my time fixing the worthless things they have set up to make things "easier" for us. We'd be better off if maybe t ...

I had it all. The job I wanted through SOAP Transcription. One little thing got me fired and I don't want it to happen to any of you regardless if you're new or a veteran of the field. Most of us at home workers, with whomever we work for, have rules about the internet. That being said, I was towards the end of my shift last Sunday, and wanted to check the score of a football game. I figured it was only once, what could it hurt. Well, now I know, all too painfully. I wasn't ...

Read the comments by CBay's CEO and from the smaller Indian firms. Sad to feel some glee when reading this. ...

My boss keeps telling us corporate says we are not producing enough for the number of employees we have, but we have been producing. Every other week, she will call and say increase production. I have been with the company for 11 years. I have a feeling we are going to be bought out. I am thinking about looking for a new job? I need a backup plan. Sad to see that MT is all about the big wigs making money off the little guy. ...

Took a test for a city job and just got notice that I did not pass. I was on of over 300 people who took the test. Happy for those that passed but wish I would have been one of them. I believe I bombed in the math calculations. Boy is it ever a kick in the pants with regard to self-esteem to know that I cannot even pass a simple test. What can an old timer like me do when all I ever have done is transcription? Feelling about as low as possible right now. ...

Now that the bankruptcy business is taken care of, I have a bad feeling. I don't know why now exactly, I just do, that something bad cometh our way...pay cuts, more firings, the usual chaos. Maybe because things have been a little quiet lately. This place has made me paranoid perhaps. ...

some experiment upon which to base some crazy decision "to take us in a new direction" yet again... UGH. It's too ridiculous to make any sense, so it's giving me a really bad feeling. ...

Hi, All. Yesterday morning, about 10 a.m. so, and while working, I started to get what felt like gas pains in the abdomen but onlly from the umbilicus down (it did go all the way across and ended up causing a mild backage - no pain any further. They were constant and unrelenting, No relief. I took to gas pills, wated a littlle while, took 2 more, pain getting worse. I had 3 ways of describning the pain: 1. The (minimal) paring knife pain&n ...

I just wanted to thank those who shared that have been with this company for more than 10 years. I have really been feeling unloved by MQ lately. There have been a lot of changes since I've been here, and I've only been here since early 2006. Been worried also lately about being let go or being laid off. I don't know, you just gave me some hope somehow and I wanted to thank you all for that. I guess my job isn't that bad after all. And we d ...

I am just thankful for this site. If it weren't for it I wouldn't have a clue what is going on ever! I haven't heard or received any type of email from my CCM? (if that is what they are still called) in over a month. Then today I find out I've been moved. I get on here and hear about all these things going on and I never had a clue. Any time something doesn't seem right like Kaspersky or not being able to log into system, this is the first pl ...

Has any body every noticed how you find companies that seem interested in you and want to hire you, but if you ask them to look up stuff it takes them forever?I had this one company who was interested in me but when I told them I use a mac computer, which I realize now was my mistake, I get the attitude "See you later"? ...

Hi, I have recently graduated from an MT program and have been spending a lot of time on this forum. It has made me think that I may have made a huge mistake. I understand that times are hard, but does anyone have any good advice? I just have been getting discouraged so much lately. I have two young children and want to be able to stay home and help my husband to take care of our family. He already works two jobs as it is (in the health care field) and we just want to get ahead. Did I make a mis ...

One day the company loves, you the next, they're exacting punishment to make you feel like you can't do your job. I am sure some of you have felt this way and have even been the victims of attempts to bring in other MTs to replace you. That's exactly how I felt today when I got an email today. I thought the manager was a bit harsh, rather than just giving a warning like the email said for the first time the error is made. How do you deal with this? I wish a lot of the times I coul ...

Does anybody else feel like they are used up and spit out by their employer? Seems to me that many companies only worry about their administrative staff's quality of life and throw all of us MTs to the wolves when it comes to benefits and wages! ...

Just quit this company. Initially had to fax my personal information numerous times because they lost it repeatedly, etc. Only allowed to type 10 reports per day on QA, unable to get off QA, QA editors never able to agree on policies and procedures. Also required to research dozens/hundreds of previous reports (no search engine available) to find information (QA stated they will not fill in blanks), which is frequently incorrect; not even making minimum wage at first. Even their docs are bit ...

Good morning, everyone. I know a few of you followed the last couple times I posted about how I had gotten a new job with a reputable company and they would not let me off full QA and how I was getting only three reports a day. I then posted the news was better on Friday because I was let off QA and given two more accounts. This morning I am feeling pretty low. I now have a total of four accounts and no work in any of them. I was hired as an IC and told I would have steady work and that I ...

I just now sent my resignation to Nuance effective immediately. I feel great!! I was very happy with them for over 5 years until everything went to heck. Not going to put up with it anymore!! Now I can enjoy retirement without that monkey on my back. ...

I'm on my last report for the day and I can shut my computer off and forget about this job for a little while ...

Okay, so an email came out this week from TL saying that the company wants as much work done in our accounts as possible before July 1 and expect to work overtime all weekend. I have been at Nuance for almost 4 years now and this is NOT the norm...Additionally, this morning when account stats were sent out showing where the work was and how many MTs were working a new metric had been added to the chart in the MT category -- GP. At the bottom this said GP = global partner. They ...

Friend of mine still works in-house at a hospital. They have two employees out on long-term sick leave and are falling behind so the supervisor has gone with a company called iMEDX to do some transcription on the "weekends." She asked if I had heard of this company since I worked for MTSOs for years, and when I checked them out, I find that at three of the top administrative people are from CBAY/MQ. She needs to be worried, right? My heart just broke for her when I read this. Their ...

I f eel like I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place.I've been at this job for over 20 years and my pay Has consistently declined, but for some reason I stick with it. I've had to move several times to find cheaper apartments because of the decline In pay.I lost my car and now I barely make minimum wage.I make too much for assistancebut nobody takes into account how much I pay in in health insurance.I would really like to change careers but how do I do that Whileworking f ...

Now that my last week is upon me, I feel guilty for getting out of the field I went to school for. It's long been apparent that nothing is going to change for the better in this industry plus, due to low work, my check has become practically nonexistent in the recent weeks. I'm sure it will pass, but has anyone else who got out had this feeling? ...

Same thing, different company. You're going through Benchmark (MModal). Good Luck. ...

Is anyone still getting their own accounts? Lots of experience, workaholic (no choice) and not making it. Anything encouraging would be appreciated. ...

Hi everyone:) Hope some of you can help me out. I am new to the company, and boy am I confused. I have repeatedly asked for some things to help me out, but I rarely hear from my TSM, and I feel I am being avoided. I am totalliy worn out, the dictators are horrible! I have so many blanks in some of the reports, I feel like I am doing a horrible job, and I have a lot of experience. No feedback at all. ...

I have been a transcriptionist for the past 10 years, working in cardiology, acute care and now radiology. I do radiology part-time from home right now and most shifts I do not even average minimum wage because of a shortage of work. The company I work for is small and works two typists per shift when there is only enough work for one. It is so frustrating! I have sent out about 20 resumes in the last couple of weeks and haven't heard a word from anyone. It used to be so easy to get a job b ...

My very own attitude has gone from bad to worse with the 4 cpl and the fact that I am typing over most of the garbage. I was told by my CCM no F11 unless technical problems and they must be reported. Again today, I find myself really very angry while I wait for a job outside of the house to come through. I find myself angry that I sit here for 4 cpl and no matter what I won't be able to make bills, b/c I am again straight typing half of this stuff and my skill set/self-esteem k ...

treated rudely at my job (this close to quitting), but I do not even get a Happy MT week, thank you or anything!! Yes, this company is the WORST!!!! ...

Just wanted to share. A friend of mine texted me on T'giving. She lost her mother quite suddenly. I was so upset about what is going on in my world I didn't stop to think about what is more important. I just want to share with you because I feel you guys are my sisters in a way and no matter what I read here, whether I agree or not, I still learn from it in most cases. I wish all of you the very best you can be and we will figure this out together, I have faith.& ...

Is there any way to get unemployment out of this company? I am not meeting my lines per hour on ebtxt and don't know what to do. Apparently my hours did not match on Webclock and the system last week. We are getting emails every week stating make sure you check this or that including do ctr + alt + I to check the print, which will only do it for 1 page, so then we have to do it for each page. Also, check 3 pages in the AI sheet for each job, etc. I feel lik ...
