ASR ; Old timers, remember when.....

Need some of you “old timers” to help settle a difference of opinion. We can’t seem to find any accurate information using the web. I was having a discussion with another MT friend about timelines in regards to when SR/VR started and when they started off-shoring. I say everything happened within the last 5 years. My friend thinks she started using SR over 5 years ago at the MTSO she works for. Anyone have any accurate info? 1. Year Speech Re ...

Have dictators you have to turn the volume all the way up and press the headset into your TMs to hear? Do you have to only chew during pauses because the sound of your chomping would obliterate their tiny whisperer? Have doctors who never learned to use the "Pause" making you listen to them review the past 5 years of a patient's chart? Are pauses so long you can take a nap or make lunch while they are thinking? Do you use swear words against the doctors, calling them mother __ ...

Just this morning I was talking to my husband about "the good old days" in the medical transcription world. I remember when we would type a report, I mean "straight" type a report (no VR), send it off to be signed by the physician and then it was placed on the medical record. Back then, it was the physician's responsibility to make sure that all the information on the report was correct before he signed it. Anyone remember those days? Technology and new ways of doing ...

I just read on MQ Central that as a part-timer you are eligible for "partial" benefits. I had asked on this board before if part-timers were eligible for health insurance and was told no. What does "partial" benefits mean exactly? I'd like to drop to part time but absolutely need to keep health insurance. Thanks in Advance! ...

Of the part-time MDIers who have already gotten their packets, was your pay decreased if you were making 9 cpl? Also, I am beginning to think I was the only person making 9 cpl at MDI! ...

dear night timers -- i normally work days, but just wanted to let you know that after filling in for a couple of shifts working nights that I appreciate you guys now more than ever. I do not know how you do it day in/day out (or is that night in/night out?) Anyway, I just wanted you all to know that I have a new appreciation for the night timers who work thru the night. It was an eye opener and it was actually nice to walk in someone else's shoes for once! ...

Anyone here from M-modal? All of you, M-modals, ex-Spheris, and MQ people -- watch your backs!!!! Watch out for yourselves only! MQ is about the most dishonest MT company out there. Every deal they have made has been crooked in some way shape or form. Google it for gosh shake. With every merger, they cut the best people (usually the ones making the most $$ with the most experience) so they can send more over to Cbay, naturally...since they own 97% of the compan ...

I am starting to wonder if Transcend has more part time workers than full time, excluding the TLs. It just seems like it is such a fight to get enough work to be full time. It also seems like it saves them in the long run to not provide insurance and now gift cards at Christmas if they have more part timers, just my feeling. ...

Can anyone tell me if part timers can get health and prescription insurance from Nuance? Has anyone been full time and then dropped to part time? How much of a drop in benefits was it? Where can I find this Enrich program? In advance, thanks!! ...

At least most of the time? Thinking of changing status, but don't want to get into a no-work situation. FT work available is already much less than used to be before Transcend buyout. ...

This may be a naive question, but, when you resigned from Keystrokes, did you get paid for any PTO that you had on the books? I sure hate to give that time up. Thanks in advance. ...

I am part time 24 hours and not a peep out of my CCM/TSM/whatever she is yet. I would think I would be first in line because she is always giving me a hard time about my hours and my pause time, etc. Is it still coming? If not, why are they lying? ...

Did I dream this or did I not see a while back that part timers would still get 5 days of vacation time for the year? I don't see it on my PTO balance. Anyone have any information on that? Thanks in advance. ...

I looked on the MModal website and it doesn't tell about part timers, only full timers. I know we don't get paid but was wondering if we get any days off or we have to use excused absences. Anyone know? ...

I'm short 3 hours this PP (not even sure why, prob signed out early a few times too many here and there)...... Am I in danger of losing my medical insurance if I don't have my full 40 hours? I thought I may have heard that you had to go 2 pay periods in a row short before they would take away benefits. Anyone know about this? Thanks!! ...

how many of you only work 3 or 4 days per week (24 hours). Do you split your schedule up and work only a few hours at a time? I'm considering working only 3-4 days per week instead of my usual 5 and would like to know how you schedule your hours. Thank you! ...

Should be an interesting, wild ride. ...

up during the day - working 2-3 hours at a time - or do you work a straight 8 hours with breaks and a lunch? Thinking of going full-time and just cannot sit at my desk for 8 straight hours. I'd rather split my hours up but this then makes for a very long work day. Just wondering how others set their hours/schedules. Thanks for any information! ...

No need to name your company, a yes or no will do. Just wondering if it's even too much to hope for as I can only work PT but since I'm not married and don't plan to be ever, it's important for me. THanks in Advance! ...

I saw below where Transcend may be offering health insurance to part timers in September, just wondering if anybody has heard anything about that. I would like to have insurance again, so am very curious if that is true. Thanks for your help! ...

Does anyone know if Nuance offers health insurance for part-time employees? If so, approximately how much does it cost? ...

I think severence is just for full time but not sure. ...

We have late work pending in multiple accounts (unusual for a saturday), and TSM is frantically sending out emails to try to get part timers to work extra because corporate won't allow her to have fulltime employees go overtime. This place is run by idiots. ...

Just waiting for the other shoe to drop, wondering who is next. ...

Remember when – you were proud to be an MT – proud of the work you did and the physicians said thank you when you did a good job? How about the bumper sticker years ago from AHDI (AAMT) that they handed out at one of the conferences that read – MDs need MTs. After 35 years in this profession, I call it quits. All of us really just need a "thank you" from time to time to feel appreciated. I have worked at ho ...

Remember when we used to get that newsletter in the mail? I found some today as I was packing my stuff. Remember when they used to pat us on the back now and then? (usually right before they made a change that was a major hassle, though--and NEVER a pay increase, absolutely unheard of) Now they just hang us out to dry and we have to fend for ourselves. Wonder if they even notice we are dropping like flies. We never hear anything from management unless it's that they are i ...

Remember back when you worked for a client of say 20-40 doctors? When when you could kick your feet up and type with your eyes closed, you knew what the doctor was going to say before he said it. Remember when you could type what he meant to say and not what he actually said. Remember them appreciating that? Remember no BOS or auditing scores? Remember always having an abdundance of work and feeling very comfortable about it because you made great pay? Remembe ...
