would continue to work for this bankrupt trash pit is astonishing. Sounds like before too long if you want to stay with them you'll have to move to Eyesore. Yech.

Oh great, more good news... - Coco

If MModal is so damn in love with India, why don't they just marry her and grant us a divorce from this mess?

I have a feeling our jobs here in the U.S. and Canada will become redundant and we will be out of jobs, which would be a mercy firing for me, frankly and personally.

That's precisely what's happening. The MT - profession is circling the drain.

got another MT job instead. This time, I definitely will take advantage of it if it's available again, and unfortunately, I think it won't be very far in the future. I believe in karma, and I think the extreme greed some of these people have will come back to haunt them someday. I don't know how they sleep at night.

SAINCE TRANSCRIPTION No Longer Has A QA Staff
Apr 12, 2013

Saince Transcription no longer has a QA Staff. They let them all go about a month ago. The MTs have been divided into teams with a team leader who is doing all the QA for the team. This poor team leader is really doing the QA for nothing, they get an extra 10% on their cpl rate to offset doing the QA, but sounds like that could really cut down your production. The hospitals they type for don't even know it has happened which sounds illegal or at the very least unscrupulous. They signed ...
