I get regular emails for MT job listings....I find it perplexing that - Kiki

Posted: Aug 21, 2013

M-Modal has a current job opening listing for PART TIME MTs (there is a separate listing for FT ones too). WTH is up with that? I mean, I myself was planning on giving my notice soon enough to this crappy company and actually was glad I was laid off instead of quitting...at least now I am eligible for unemployment until I find another job....but really, WTH? It's not an old listing, has TODAY's date on it. What is the reasoning?

Most likely they're hoping that only offshore - applicants will respond to their ad. N/M

They get out of paying Obamacare - Boatloads of MTSOs are doing it

Not sure I understand this....exactly what do they get out of? - Kiki

Whatever it is, I believe it.....Don't put anything past them...just don't know what that means....

Under Obamacare, their money contribution is higher. - unintended results

Companies don't have to offer or contribute to health insurance if an employee is under a certain number hours - basically part time. Many large companies are decreasing employee hours to the magic number.

doing this long before Obamacare so they did not have to offer insurance. Also, most of the people being laid off are part time, so where does that logic fit in?

Yes but M2 in India pays for the employee's - ENTIRE FAMILY to have insurance

India has national healthcare, as many countries do.

It is also dirt cheap - Big coding failure

The exchange rate is .02 on the dollar in India. Medical care is also cheap (and of poor quality). M2 can afford to provide coverage to workers and their families because they are paying pennies on the dollar.

As I scroll through various openings and peruse the various listings, it is astounding to me how many employers do not know how to word the description properly. E.g., they fail to include the most basic info, such as whether it is a telecommuting or an on-site job (and it's not clear from the duties and responbilities). Not including those details wastes everyone's time (if an applicant is interested, they must ask the question, then await the reply). Then, of course, are th ...

Here we go again, around and around! SoftScript is looking for more trainers, mentors, and managers! What is wrong with them? Every few days they post these same jobs. As I have said before, these are not real positions. If you apply for one of them, there is a good chance you will be hired. However, after you work there for a few days, you will receive a phone call or an e-mail telling you that you are not the right fit. It happens over and over and ove ...

I'm curious about something - maybe it's because when I started doing MT, it was straight typing. I've only been doing ASR 2.5 years. Has anyone noticed if they're more accurate when doing regular typing than they are with ASR? I have. I rarely make mistakes with straight typing but sure can have a lot of typos, duplicate words or whatever pop up on the ASR. Plus, as an added benefit with regular MT, whenever the dictator pauses, I close my eyes for ...

Sorry, my math really sucks and I can't seem to find a site that will 'convert' decimals to regular numbers. If a patient's lab test reads as 23.0 and the doctor dictates it as 23,000 are these both correct ways of putting it? Also had absolute segment coung of 17.48 that was dictated as 17, 480 and bands of 0.23 that were dictated as 230. If these are just other ways of expressing the same number and are all correct, great- I just want to be sure that is the case. I ...

Just shoot me now. I had some great accounts that are outside my area coming in. Unfortunately, now my regular accounts are showing up and my count is taking its usual dive. Bad audio, crummy output. And the compliance coach thinks it is me that has the problem??? Performance coach was performance managing me for "failing" audits, i.e. getting 99.65%. Now she is our compliance coach, so I am getting informed that my line count is teetering just below the requirement. I let her know that ...

that we cannot send reports with more than 3 blanks through on TWO of the accounts I work on. Right now, I have one of the worst dictators on one of those accounts. She is ESL and she whispers. To top it off, someone is standing very close to her running a VACUUM CLEANER. I CAN'T HEAR her because she is whispering and the vacuum is running. So, yay me. I will probably have more than 3 blanks because of all this and will have to send it to QA even though they ...

I work NY Eve, NY, Easter, 4th of July, Labor Day, Memorial Day, etc. But even though there's never any work on those 2 major holidays, apparently now we MUST work one of them, i.e., ruin all family plans just to get NJA all day anyway. ...

I feel like saying: Hey, no thanks, I already have 4 accounts, 2 of which I have no interest in. Here's an idea, how about you get all those people on my accounts, which I have been doing for years, off of them, so that I can have my work back? How about you get them off my accounts and give THEM the new accounts? I have enough trouble making decent line counts at all because: (a) no work because overstaffed on my primary. (b) secondary and tertiary accounts unfamiliar and pages of new ...

As long as I do the required long count and then some, I will not concern myself with this emails. ...
