If your group is discussing low volume work - then why are they hiring?

If they are letting go of MT's, then you should be able to fight it by getting a lawyer. If you have years of service in, then why is the company hiring newbies!

I too am curious about why they are hiring. I was just hired by this company and slated to start work soon. I took the test to see how hard it was, and they offered me a job! Believe me, it was one of the first tests I took right after graduating, and I never expected them to hire me. I have still been testing with all other companies to try not to start when I am supposed to:)

What tier are you? - Curious. No message below.

People are not doing a full listen/correction. There are some pretty blatant errors, and these errors are being repeated by subsequently dictating physicians who are obviously using other documents for information (as it should be). Blatant errors such as allergy to medications that don't even exit, blatant lab errors that are counter to some of the diagnoses. I shamefully admit to not doing a full listen when I first started voice recognition was back in the beginning, but quickly noted ...

I was purging papers and came across an earnings statement from TL in 2001 (yeah, I know, way overdue on cleaning out files). Back then, my base pay was 0.0925 and the 2-week pay after taxes, insurance, 401K was $1100. In comparison, today my base pay pretty much is 0.035 for VR and 0.07 for straight. It is possible to make a higher rate at Nuance, but it is not easy, so I do not expect it. My last take-home pay prior to the holidays was less than $600. Also, my TL line count was 3000 higher for ...

Regarding all the talk about unions below: I once had a very good job, and was a very "Happy MT". I worked inhouse. I made great money. I got vacations, 401K, paid sick days, good healthcare, etc. So one day, while I was happily typing away on my Correcting Selectric, at my great little desk, at my great little job, a union organizer came to visit the department. The hospital was actually considering ha ...

Hi, I am in the same situation for being a past coder. I coded for about 10 years and then did transcription to raise my family. Now I would very much like to pursue the coding field and get certified. My schedule limits me from taking outside classes as I am working all different hours part time. Is there anything decent that would help me refresh my skills and update them on line in order to pass the certification exam down the road or is that totally out of the questi ...

Has anyone gotten any raises in pay over the past 3 years? I know in these mean, tough times gratitude for having a job is important, but my thankfulness doesn't stop me from knowing that I have not had any increase in my pay since I started more than 2 years ago with the company I work for. I am curious if any transcriptionist who has been steadily working for the same place for the past 2-3-4 years has seen a pay raise. I am frustrated with rising prices ...

not really feasible to look for another job outside home. I live in a very small town and care for my aging mother who is not in the best of health. Right now I'm really feeling a major period of burn-out with transcription. Most days, I'm ready to throw my hands up and quit, just walk away from it, but then I see my checkbook laying on my desk as a reminder that I can't do that. I'm tired of trying to understand mushmouth practitioners, those who talk at the speed of light, ...
