I see a lot of similarities here between MModal and Goodwill - interesting

Posted: Dec 14, 2013

MModal is starting to look a LOT like Goodwill ... and I don't mean that in a good way.

Are you for real? That's the entire MT industry - Not just MModal.

Get over it - Things have changed since the 80s and 90s. Clinical documentation is done electronically now, the days of manually typing are rapidly becoming extinct.

Even the MTSOs are having to revamp their game plan, which is why they are more concerned with perfecting their software systems (their product) because in the end, that's what's gonna keep them a float. The MT industry has changed for everyone. Notice they are getting away from the title "MT"? And now using the title "MLS"? ...a fancy term for editing VR.

I suspect in another 5 to 10 years even editing jobs will be far and few between.

Umm, did you even read the link - cause your answer

doesn't address the issue of CEO pay. Get over it???

CEOs and all the highers are gonna - make bank

They know this industry is falling fast, gonna make it while they can. Doesn't matter on whose backs. And, because we continue to do the work and not have a "sick week" to at least make a point, it will continue until they perfect the ASR (or we properly train it for them) and leave us out in the cold.

A 5 billion dollar profit a yr from other - peoples hand me downs

Very sad indeed to think about how someone is living high on the hog by selling stuff I would otherwise throw away if I didn't have a place to donate it to.

Maybe I should open a resale store; only I would be sure to give my customers a good deal, as most are needy or cant afford to buy it new. I could keep the prices extremely low by working there myself & having my husband & daughters help out so that would keep labor cost down.

After reading this article, I think I will just donate to the Salvation Army or Red Cross at least they have programs in place to help people. It's like the Goodwill is getting rich at the expense of the poor, but what are they giving back?

Just had to share my Goodwill find. Yesterday I found a split-key clackety key ergonomic keyboard for $1.65!! I love it. It is made by Belkin (I didn't know they made keyboards). I think it's older because it has the PS/2 connector. I cleaned it up, and it works just beautifully. Just had to share. ...

and noticing that it is really not doing a good job lately. I've not usually had problems with it when it comes to regular English-speaking doctors, but this week it has been a mess. It is either not putting in entire sentences or putting in off the wall stuff that sounds nothing like what is being said. I've come to expect that with ESL, but certainly not with English as native language. Weird. Must be taking some time off for MT week. ...

MModal asks for your SS# on the application process of applying for jobs there!!! Thanks to some of you, I ran ran ran from this place. When I inquired about how uncomfortable I was with sharing my SS#...I was told to just use any number. WHAT?!!? Then why have it there!!! Who in their right mind would give their SS# to a company that hasn't even hired them yet. I agree with the rest of you. RUN SALLY RUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN ...

Why is MModal posting job openings, when so many of use are running out of work or worse falling into the pool--what with the pay cuts, VR being paid half even though it takes nearly as long to edit most reports, and the fact that I only get my "primary" accounts about 30% of the time and the rest of the time I am typing from the pool so that nearly every report that comes up is a new facility or dictator, I have gone from making $16 an hour to minimum wage. I cannot afford this. Why can' ...

I see so many complaints about MModal. Does anyone actually like them? I'm in the hiring process and they are calling with an offer. I would like to try it out. I work in-house now, but eventually my position will be eliminated due to VR. I do not make that great of pay, and have lots of down time, but still have to sit in the office all day. I know that all companies have their ups and downs. My hospital being Union makes doing anything impossible and makes it easier to keep the "bad ...

Well, I suppose any transciption job would do the same. Before this profression, I was a good little girl who would never swear or cuss and even chastised others for doing so, but since becoming an MT (especially with MModal), with all these horrendous dictators and this buggy platform, if you listen from outside my office, you'd think someone locked a surly sailor with Tourettes in with me. I've called dictators names that would make a construction worker blush. I al ...

I really am happy for the Filipinos, because I know this probably represents a wonderful opportunity for some of them. Time for the rest of us to move on. Whoever's last to leave the building, please turn off the lights. ...

Left MModal 18 mos. ago and have been on here encouraging everybody that there is life after MQ/MM. This week my wonderful clinic goes live with EMR. The trainer won't even recognize transcription. He is just adamant that the docs will enter everything themselves and when they don't, he is pushing Dragon Medical. So I guess I was wrong. I really thought I found a way out, but apparently not. It was a great year and a half though. ...

There is one area we do plan to adjust for 2014 which we expect will impact a very small percentage of our employees. If your spouse or domestic partner works and is eligible to receive health benefits in another qualified plan in 2014, you will be subject to a $100 per month surcharge if you elect to include them in the M*Modal healthcare plan. Keep in mind that this cost applies only to working spouses and domestic partners, not to children or other dependents ...

I am so sick of Mmodal. I resigned recently and I keep getting letters to return things that I have never ever owned or received or stuff that I had sent back to them years ago. The DEPOT apparently is as ignorant as the rest of them. SO glad I found real job that pays, respects and appreciates their employees. I have only one PC to return and they sent me five boxes and a bunch of labels and stating that I have in my possession 7 different things.... OMG.. what a joke!!! ...

can you specify exactly what laws they have broken? Yes, we are all unhappy here, but I cannot see that they have done anything they cannot do legally. The last judgment against them was for witholding pay. I think they are too smart to break laws again. What do you expect to gain anyway by suing a company that has filed bankruptcy, which is always a very smart business move to make if you can get away with it. ...

I refused to work OT last week, gave them my reasons. I think we should all let them know how we feel rather than just venting on here! I know everyone will think this is a waste of time, but JUST DO IT! Email either Shaw or our new CEO, tell them how we feel. They cut our PTO, increased our insurance premiums, no rate increases ever yet they expect us to jump through hoops to get the backlog down. For who??? Certainly doesn't benefit us, but gives them a ...

It took a stupid pill. It skips at least a fourth of the words, uses commas and back slashes like most people use salt and pepper of course skipping the words where it puts the commas in, puts in stuff that is not even close to what is dictated. These companies pay for their stuff to be run through this ridiculous program. Why are the bosses allowing this low quality to come through unless they own part of mmodal. Does not make sense. ...
