trading on it. My point is don't get too excited. Even IF they put a halt to tax breaks for companies that offshore, they will find a way around it.
Did you happen to read the letter to Obama written by a transcriptionist when first logging on to MTStars? I think it is VERY well said, and we should send a similar one to him. The writing is definitely on the wall. I am seriously considering quitting as I am sure MT's jobs will be obsolete very soon. However, now I am debating whether to stick it out here until the end and hope for either a severance pay or unemployment. My CCM was MORE THAN HAPPY to off ...
Since the gov's all about obamacare nowadays and HIPAA and whatnot, maybe the US MTs need some sort of special interest group to storm Capitol Hill and demand a consistent style for healtcare documents...a certain way to do HPs, OP notes, summaries, consults, ad nauseum...hey, the buzz word these days is interoperability, right? I just cannot fathom why or how these facilities and physicians within them get their way all the freaking time. If the gov would attach format template ...
It has to do with requiring employers to reveal employees' salaries regarding sex, race and national origin of employees. Will this mean MQ will have to pay the Indians more? How about paying us more fairly? Any thoughts on this? ...
While President Obama is touring India, I sure hope he finds our jobs, loads them onto Air Force One, and brings them back to us...along with the wages that we once earned. Instead though, we'll probably just get T-shirts (made in China) that say "I are a global MT." ...
I have heard and read that Obama is really pushing the EMR, and by the year 2014, he wants all hospitals/clinics to implement this or else be taxed. He also is supposed to be offering grants and incentives if they do also. So any hospital or physician office that doesn't will be taxed more and will not get incentives, grants, etc. So I think most will try it cause they don't want more taxes and want the incentives, etc. So where does that leave us? If you work for a hospital, what ...
Gibson Guitars, accused of using illegally imported wood, a claim that Gibson refutes and for which the company has filed documentation to the contrary, has now been told that their problems "would go away" if they used labor in Madagascar.

Here is what I put in this petition - I tried not to make it specific to MT, as there are more jobs that need to come back than just ours.

I think I have figured out an excellent strategic way to approach writing this letter. My objective is to GET IT READ.
Guided by my intuition, I put some ideas down in a beginning document on my computer --- as as I did so --- other ideas began to float through my mind. I wound up with something which I think is a very good strategy. I am not going to say what it is. I'm just saying that I feel QUITE GOOD about this way of presenting "the story."
Once I ...

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! ...

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.... :(

I want to send questions to TM although the email stated to send them to ccm. I have tons of questions. this is not fair at all. we cannot help poor audio, hemming and hawing by the dictator, dictators who cannot dictate......who the heck is running this show, lucy and ethel??? bunch of creeps. ...
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 ...

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.
