Now that's a good one. Luckily, next week is my last week as I've found a new company, although I am looking to get the heck out of transcription altogether. If you ask me, with the way MMODAL is going, it won't be long before that ship has sunk.

I read here every so often to re-affirm my good decision to get out of MT! I feel so good.
I do the same thing. I was forced out by a layoff - and come here to remind myself NOT -

to even THINK about applying for any more scam MT jobs. Although I haven't found any other work either, I HAVE discovered that it's a whole lot easier to be poor and NOT working, than it is to be poor because you're slaving for an MT company.
Me too, 2+ years gone - bye bye birdie

Well, I Applied With Them A Couple Months Ago Oct 10, 2013I'm stuck at mmodal after 2 buyouts and a job there is precarious at best. This board is just as depressing and bad as theirs. Instead of all the run away and don't go there stuff, what is the insurance, and what is that quarterly bonus thing about?
My friend I worked with from DSG before they got bought out my mmodal went to Nuance on an escription account and actually likes her job, plenty of work, good super.
I suppose it's all in the roll of the dic ...
Worked For Superior Global For A Couple Of Months Jan 21, 2010I worked for Superior Global for a couple of months, but the account I was hired for never got going and I was not happy there so I resigned and hired on with another company. In looking for additional work, I was just hired yesterday by a company who then said they could not hire me because they partner with Superior Global and they will not issue me an ID. Has anyone encountered this and is there someone I can talk to about it. Thank you. ...

Should I even interview or stay with UI, which is steady and honestly better pay. Also, I have a friend wanting to ...

From A Couple Of Posters Below. WE NEED AN Jul 31, 2013After all, MModal has a Facebook page. We need to start an anti-MModal Facebook Page. We could write stories of what is happening to us with this company and how we are treated and send in pictures of us working ourselves to death, etc. Even spouses could get involve and family members how we are to work during holidays, but then there is no work, yet we are to get our hours in.
We write on MTstars, why not have one for Facebook????? ...

I Have An Idea And Need A Couple Of Experienced Oct 17, 2012I would like to open a dialogue with 2 or 3 individuals with a minimum of 15 years experience in the field of medical transcription. There is an alternative to explore in terms of taking back our profession and our livelihoods, and I need a couple of people knowledgeable in our field to brainstorm an idea with me. No naysayers, please. I want to talk to people who have not already given up on MT and are willing to think outside the box with me to seriously consider the feasibil ...
No Work For A Couple Weeks Now, What's Going On? Oct 25, 2012I am assigned to 4 accounts, 1 new about 2 months ago and the other 2 a few weeks ago. At first there was tons of work, OT every weekend and now...nothing. There is no work ALL DAY LONG. I am scheduled early morning and I have checked all day, every day and there is no work. I was moved off an account where I always got my lines in even if I had to flex a bit, but these new accounts have NO WORK ALL DAY.
This is unbelievable and scary.
Is this happening acro ...
A Couple More Questions For Nuance MTs . . . Jan 26, 2013Sorry to keep bugging you guys, but I figured you all would level with me. Does Nuance provide you with a computer, or do you have to use your own? Are your paychecks on time?
I guess the biggest question is do you normally have a steady flow of work? Right now it's so bad where I'm at that I sign on around 8 a.m. and sit here well into the evening trying to get in 6 hours a day. I realize you run out of work from time to time, that's normal; but it's ...

I Got A Letter From MModal A Couple Of Weeks. Feb 21, 2013ago and it stated I got a raise in my hourly wage (used for time off). Shocked but pleased, very much so. I am not going to ask anyone about it because I won't look this gift horse in the mouth!!! And, I get a reasonable hourly rate for transcribing. I don't have any speech rec jobs, ever. The postings I see here are so different from my experience and yes, I am very happy about my situation. I feel badly for others on here that are getting nothing!& ...

A Couple Of Questions For The MM Coding Trainees Apr 01, 2014(1) Do you only fail if you fail a final at the end of the course, or are there tests throughout the course you have to pass to continue on?
I assume if you do not pass a test to pass on, they cannot charge you for the course.
(2) Did they ever tell you how much that would be?
After all, it is not a credentialed for-profit coding school, they are probably using their already in-house employees as instructors, and they aren't providing any high dollar book material.  ...
The Previous Couple Of Transcend Mergers That I Have Read About On Here... Sm Nov 23, 2009Have had me feeling as if some of us who have been at Transcend longer were not offered what they have been offering recently, maybe that is why I have seen so many people leave. It was 8 cents per line for transcribing and 4 cents for VR. When you cannot make your 900 dollars every two weeks you are then moved to part time, bennies are taken away and you do not get PTO. I was feeling pretty devalued, but then I thought maybe later on they may tell the new people some excu ...
Transcend Benefits A Couple Of Quick Question/s Nov 24, 2009Could someone who has Transcend benefits tell me-
are routine physicals covered yearly?
mammograms and well care?
what is the per office visit copay?
What about RX coverage, what is copay for brand/generic?
What is the yearly deductable--what do you have to pay out of pocket before your insurance covers most of it? I thought I had heard it was $3000 deductable. If so, is the benefit actually worthwhile to you? Aside from catastrophic. I remember having $500 deductables but ...

Apparently once you're hired and have accepted a position, you do remain in the system and all it takes is reactivation to put you back into the process.

I Decided To Change My Tact A Couple Of Years Ago. Aug 26, 2010I began to realize that my victim mindset was the reason I was being treated so badly professionally and socially. Even when I had a good job and good friends, I ended up sabotaging them.
After wising up a little bit in the School of Hard Knocks, I decided to try something different. I was going to work on my relationships both professionally and personally to see if I could get better results and resist the opportunity to strike back, quit my job, tell people off, and otherwise behave li ...

Did My XP To Windows 7 Upgrade Yesterday = Couple Surprises Aug 20, 2014First, I had assumed that a Microsoft Word/Office Starter would be included -- it's not.
I'd never done an upgrade before (late adopter/new machines) so that was an unwelcome surprise. I found Notepad and Wordpad under asscessories (and StickyNotes) but initially thought I had no word procesising at all.
The Windows 7 OEM Home Edition came with IE8 (with Bing and other trash annoyances) but did not come with Hotmail/Outlook which had to be downloaded.
Along with Opera which I use on ...
