Corporate Greed - Sticky Fingers

Posted: Sep 06, 2012

A prime example of that is when I work every holiday for time and 1/2, but low and behold, there is mysteriously no work in the system. Because they press a button and send it all overseas for some poor sap to do for 5 cents a day, instead of paying me time and 1/2. There is no appreciation for the MT and our expertise anymore. Used to at least get an Xmas card, not even that anymore.... :(

Save Yourself!

I don't believe they send the work overseas on a holiday. - anon

In the 10+ years I've been in this business, the holidays have always been the same. The doctors all take the day off and there is usually just a skeleton crew at the hospitals. In our old systems (cornerstone and HITS), I could see all the work that came into the system, whether it went overseas or not. The work did not get sent overseas on the holiday, there simply was very little work coming in.

It still sucks that there isn't enough work, but the work isn't getting sent overseas just so they don't have to pay you time and a half.

If you worked inhouse on a holiday, you would - still be paid SM

for being available to work. I think there should be some type of compensation for having to be available to work your shift. It makes me so mad that they get away with this.

Compensation - Sticky Fingers

That would be nice wouldn't it? To acknowledge that this person was dutifully sticking around, checking in, expecting to work, and not have to then make that time up or take PTO. I worked in hospitals for 15 years, yes there was a skeleton crew, but there was always something, an ER, Xray, at least we were getting an hourly wage there. I just started noticing it here lately, nothing, used to be some would trickle in throughout my shift, but when there is absolutely nothing out of numerous hospitals, they are sending it out. And why wouldn't they? It is corporate greed, I'm tellin ya.

All that matters to companies nowadays is how much money they can make for their stockholders and for their yearly bonuses. They dont care about the American worker anymore. In India, when they want to fire you, they have to take into account the family you are taking care of, will you be able to get another job. America? They will throw you out on the street without a notice and not give a darn. In my town, the main hospital wants to let Chinese women come over to Ameri ...

I believe greed has taken over the transcription industry. If the client is charged so much per line, does he only have to pay half for voice recognition? I doubt it. The voice recognition should have been a tool for the transcriptionist to be able to produce a lot more lines . . . instead I believe it is so the higher ups can line their pockets with gold and stomp on the MLS. Transcend is now sooooo greedy they are sending almost half of the work overseas at night. ...

Just received e-mail from corporate stating that as they had previously stated they would be rearranging management, ccm's, etc. It went on to state that if you had been reassigned to a new CCM they would be contacting you in the future, but Thank GOD at the bottom it lists who your CCM will be and I am lucky enough to have the same CCM who I love and has always been good to me. Today is my lucky day. So glad she is not one of the ones to go. ...

To all those who won a prize last week for MT week, congratulations. Now for corporate, if you can afford to hand out trips, flat screen TVs, and other prizes, why can't you give us a COL increase? I have never won a prize from MQ, even after 12+ years of dedicated work, working on short notice, getting high scores on audits, etc. I don't want the prize, I want to be paid for what I'm worth on a daily basis! Corporate, your actions speak louder than words! ...

So I betcha have to be an RMT or CMT to win! There will be 10 MT/MEE's. I am happy that MQ included Spheris employees and their group. That made me very happy, although I have been an MT with MQ for 20 years, I am just glad that Spheris will have their group included. It is just well. . . ethical for MQ to do the right thing by including them. I wonder if India is doing the same thing. ...

I give up. I've submitted so many resumes and applications that my head is spinning. I can't help it that my experience is more than two years ago. The doctor died and the practice split up! I live in a small town where outsourcing is unheard of and the MTs work at a place until they die. I passed my typing test and editing test with All-Type, had my interview, discussed contract terms, and the woman said she would send the contract out. But she ...

What do the initials stand for again? HDS or SHDA? I am sure the S stands for Shaw in there somewhere. His dumb servants? Shaw's helpers destroying America? Why change it?

All MQ MTs are advised to closely watch their mailboxes. In the next few weeks you will be receiving (COD of course) a package from MQ. You must accept delivery of this package. It contains an electronic ankle monitor tastefully embossed with the MQ logo. You must wear this for your entire period of employment with MQ. When it is time for your shift to start you will receive a gentle, remotely controlled, electronic reminder - 5 or 10 volts at most. Should you ...

MQ has taken our merit increases, pay raises that we all should get every year (mine was 10 years ago), our bonuses, and our pay cut in half to be able to buy Spheris so the bigwigs can have more money in their pockets. Oh brother. Makes me sick and here I am sitting here out of work. ...

Any of the eTransPlus MTs hear that John Jordan and Mary Ann Baker were downsized by the Evil Empire...MedQuist today? They called them without a warning and downsized.

Bet the Execs at eTrans are counting their money and could care less about Ms Baker and Mr. Jordan. Who cares...they aren't people...just a casualties of war. MTDevoted ...
