They are basically going to make the MT who sends work to QA pay the QA salary? Is that even legal? I've sucked it up for a long time now, living with the ASR pay cut, but there is no way I'm going to work for 1.5-3 cents per line!
Back in the ancient times of MQ, we had no QA. We left a blank and put in a s/l. We learned from reading tiny lines in big books because there also was no Google and no second ear. Of course, the dictators were much better and the sound was much better back then - you had stable accounts that you were able to learn individual doctors on, plus they sent you tons of samples for each and every doc.
Tonight was a good one. I left no blanks, but that is rare. They haven't made the "tool" who can figure out what Dr. Whosit is saying when he sticks the phone in his armpit and dictates in his native tongue, which is not English!
Ugh, this blows! Rant over.
