7.6...what a joke

I received an email the other day and it read "I was wondering if you would be interested in typing for a neurosurgeon" with a copy of my resume posted on the bottom. My reply back was "I would need the specifics, the company you are affiliated with, etc - I do have 17 plus years experience with neurology so it is probably something I would be interested in, but send more info, and then I will forward my phone number if necessary." The reply back from the unknown sender was "I have m ...

Does your spouse or significant other consider your job to be a joke, especially now that we have seen so many changes in the industry? I feel that my husband views my job this way. ...

I was offered to test for a company at 0.05 line without spaces based on 43-character line. This was an IC position. I guess after taxes, I would be paying the company to work! ...

I work twice as many hours and make half the pay, at best. I don't understand why they would cut our pay for VR when in reality it takes longer when you have to deal with editing and formatting. ...

First, TSM says no changes to accounts. Then without warning main account goes POOF. She then makes up excuse after excuse, blah, blah, blah. The woman can't use grammar or punctuation to save her life. Been with her a while now and she never, EVER answers the phone. She says she is making conference calls but never have I ever received a single phone call. Too bad she still has a job. ...

Okay, so halfway out of curiosity, I applied to my local hospital, which is a large regional hospital, for an MT job. They wanted a "seasoned" MT with CMT, who transcribes 250 lines an hour. Okay, I thought, they might actually compensate better than I think since they have well-defined high standards. WRONG! They are offering $11.35 AN HOUR! What a slap in the face! You get a whole extra dollar if you work 2nd shift. What an insult--they just have ...

Okay this Benchmark is fine. but the time it takes to look things up, its time to move onto another report. I am not being paid enough to spend time looking through this. ...

I was wondering if anyone else felt the same way about the swapboard; that it is crap for a FT employee. It seems to serve the PT employees well though, because they can readily pick up more hours. I wanted to swap a shift for Saturday hours. There was a shift the exact amount of time I needed on the Sunday prior, so I thought it would be perfect. I was wrong. CCM said that we are responsible for our shift, and that we are not approved OT, (meaning that I cannot take tha ...

Dictated: She appeared cachectic... ASR: She appeard tic-tac-toe... It would be funnier if ASR wasn't getting worse by the day! Sighhhhhh - not much longer now. ...

7.5 cpl for VBC - thanx but no thanx. Do they think they are hiring MTs from out of the US with these wages? Not this MT, that's for sure. Flat out refused prior to interview once rate was made known. ...

YOU MIGHT AS WELL WORK FOR FREE WORKING FOR THEM! ...

Definitely going to start looking for a new job. I love my TL and really love what I do, but I have gone from being a 99.5 to 100% accurate to now cannot get above 98% thanks to all their 0.25 off for not having a semicolon instead of a comma, or leaving out the or an, so much for verbatim. I either put in something and am told not to or leave something out because it isn't dictated and am told I should put it in. Can't win for losing I guess. They are slowly er ...

M*Modal is advertising on MTjobs for transcriptionists. Please, please, please do not work for this company. They are a joke. They fired so many of their good transcriptionists who had years of employment with them, passed all QA's with 98% or above, and have been very true, loyal employees. They will do the same with you. They will send all their work to India where they pay peanuts. They advertise with all their bull about integrity, respect, focus and ...

You want the skill and knowledge of a certified MT, but you want to pay 7 cpl and NOTPAYFORSPACES!!!! Plus you have to pay your own taxes as an IC and get your own health insurance, and never get a paid vacation or a paid holiday. Where do I sign up??!?!?! I'd go work at McDonald's first, at least I'd get a vacation and probably health insurance, and maybe even a free burger for lunch. What's wrong with these companies???? ...

TransTech is a joke. Their QA staff is the most anal group of people I've ever dealt with. They were rude and condescending in their feedback and the pay was horrible. What a disappointment of a company. Now I know why they are always advertising! ...

When you try to do some DIY home improvements or remodeling, and you screw things up, the contractor charges you More for fixing what you did in addition to completing the job.I feel that way about VR... ...

There is a new job posting for 6 cents a line....this field of work is becoming more unappealing every day; to think I have given this field 37 years of my life including weekends and holidays, I have never taken such big step backwards. Barely making minimum wage these days. I remember the good old days..... ...

I can't get to anything but the first page of my inbox. Oops, now can't even get that. Maybe I'll sit here and work on my Quality essay. ...

I know it was just asked how they figure out their bonus, but I am concerned because I found recent posts that say the lines are "weighted", and their own ad says "quality based" incentive program. Another poster alluded to comma nuts that QA you to death so that you end up with little to no available lines for incentive. Is there anyone out there who has had a recent experience with this who could enlighten those of us who have been sold out? What I am concerned about is that it sounds like you ...

I work for a hospital that has been using the Dictaphone speech the last couple of years. We were told how our production was just going to increase and how it was going to be WONDERFUL. My production is still where it was two years ago and I would be better off typing each report. Sorry for the ranting, but while working this evening, I just got set off by the following: "SOCIAL HISTORY: He is down to 15 cattle formally worked as a strips all conservation engineer. &nb ...

I don't think I am going back to working here. My son thinks it isn't right for me to leave b/c of a bad boss who micromanages everyone until they cannot breathe. I have another source for money and for the little I make here it isn't worth the effort anymore. Just writing to warn others about the micromanaging done here. The pay is so little, it isn't worth it. Thanks for listening. I know this is a negative move on my behalf regarding money but you cannot take m ...

Clear Choice Transcription is clearly a joke. The only reputable person at the company is the recruiter. Once you're handed off to the trainer you're screwed. Training there could be taught by a 1st grader. They rush through training and expect you to catch on in 15 minutes. Most of my questions, even after hired were answered by the recruiter. Don't know who the owner is but they obviously have no idea what happens after you're passed off to the trainer. Maybe once the ...

My back up account went to EMR, and those people are full time on my primary, and there is absolutely no work. They said they were working on placing us in different locations and trying to acquire more work, but it has not happened in 3 weeks. Aside from being worried how I am going to pay my bills, which I was even when I had work; I have to say that I am starting a feel human again. I used to sit in front of the computer waiting for work to trickle through, but now I h ...

Copied and pasted from YAHOO News just now. 01/17 at 10:55 p.m. just popped up. Career #5: Medical Transcriptionist When physicians and medical professionals need to communicate important information, they turn to medical transcriptionists who translate doctor's notes into medical reports and other files. Why it's hot: A large percentage of medical transcriptionists work in hospitals, but there will be an increased need for their work in editing transcr ...

Ever notice, it's the same people nominated over and over again and they are ALWAYS management, supervisors of the team leads.. This place makes me want to puke. I hope I get some call backs from some places I have applied to. Please..... I want out!!! ...

Wasn't that EXCITING (lol) hearing from "J the loose cannon" that has been slithering around on numerous mtso ship decks knocking holes in said ships sending them to the bottom. I wanted to make a post like this back when his then boss or captain (ceo S.C.) talked about wmx being a ship and keeping it going on a straight heading bla bla bla. Instead I like a fool just stayed aboard hoping and hoping for a better platform but no more! Them bringing J the "loose cannon" into th ...

Voice recognition "editing software" is the bright idea of some computer software chump who knows nothing about medical transcription. Transcription is everchanging. No words are EVER pronounced exactly the same way each time. Even the same voice, dialects, and dictators change from minute to minute. It is organic. It is also subjective depending on who is listening. Big business has jumped on board, as they see this as a big opportunity to ...
