It's not enough that theycange your schedule and update the software that slows you down, but - SM
Posted: Feb 07, 2015
I could not log into the system and IT guy's solution is turn of computer and turn it on again, well now everyday that is what I have to do. Yet another time consumer that is costing me money. Good grief! I would call IT back, but I fear that may be more time consuming. I am hoping that Sunday's maintenance takes care of the problem. Another thing is, I cannot believe that they have the audacity to ask us for overtime every week after changing our schedules. This schedule change has really been an inconvenience for my family. Unfortunately, I may have to work the OT just to make the pay that I was making before all of the changes.
I agree - and top that off
[ In Reply To ..]with the fact that because of offering over time my account is "caught up" and I'm doing 10 other accounts and not consistently. First this one, then this one, then this one. For crying out of loud give me 1 account and let me stick with it for a while then the next. I'm sick and tired of having to read the client profile EVERY time I get a job because it's ALWAYS a different account.
I can't think of one other job anywhere - SM
[ In Reply To ..]where the employees have to put with the conditions of this job. I wish all of you a way out. I had a wonderful account for several years, and then things changed when the company was bought out. One day I got up to work and my account was gone, never to be seen again. I had new accounts literally from all over the country, changing every day. The audio was that bad that it hurt my ears with the cracking, not to mention the majority of sentences were cut off. They had the nerve (after I complained time and time again about not being able to understand anything) to threaten to fire me because I had too many blanks.

[ In Reply To ..]I agree with you completely. My "benefit" rate keeps going down. Why can't they keep us on accounts consistently. Now I work every Saturday, and I too am getting accounts from all over the place. You have to read the profile, but they know this is "production" work, and I just hope that soon, very soon, they will have us ALL on consistent accounts. Line counts suffer when we are constantly switched around.
Total incompetence - on their part
[ In Reply To ..]Pretty soon the CEO will leave with an amazing round of thanks and "exit bonus" and then the wheel will spin again with "new & exciting changes." ClusterMMuq!
And in each email - MT
[ In Reply To ..]Announcing their leaving and the new CEO they will go on about how important we are and how much they appreciate us, meanwhile thinking how can they slow us down more and pay us less!
maintenance for sunday canceled... - jebbie
[ In Reply To ..]don't know when these supposed known issues will ever be fixed, they just keep piling up.
I will never work another minute of OT after they screwed up - my schedule. NM
[ In Reply To ..]x
Me either - no more OT
[ In Reply To ..]I would rather go without a meal than help them EVER AGAIN...this mandatory schedule change has totally screwed me
No OT for me - MTME
[ In Reply To ..]I am with you 100%. NO MORE, helping this place with anything and I mean anything; not one minute more of my time will I give to them, not one more minute of wasting my time on stupid e-mails, etc. I just log on and work. If I have NJA, so be it. I am looking every day for another job, any job, but until then, I do what I have to and that is it. Don't give in their demands and bully tactics, just do your job and to heck with them. They created this monster, let them deal with it. I wish I had a dollar for every promise they have broken to me, from the day I was hired on, until now. I'd go to Paris!

Extra Work Slows Down No Pay
Apr 07, 2014
When I get partial dictation reports on EditScript where you don't have to do anything in regards to header/demographics, my speed in terms of lines per hour is almost twice as fast. When there are so many new worktypes with new MT Instructions, the speed goes way down. When the header shows no medical record number and I have to enter in demographics what speaker dictates, the speed goes way down. The point is that I think every one of the reports should be like partial dictations in wh ...

Update On Update Three Reports A Day
Aug 10, 2012
Hi everyone I just wanted to stop by really quick and let you all know that finally, FINALLY I am off QA. I was given two accounts today in addition to the one they had initially given me. I can now type w/o counting my reports and waiting for feedback first. It remains to be seen of course, whether or not there will be as much work as I was told but so far, this company has been true to their word. Still, four days on a very restrictive QA protocol was quite scary. I am a LOT grayer now ...

Probably My Next To Last Update
Mar 16, 2010
Just a quick line to let you all know that there are better things out there for you. I am now 79 days away from graduating with my MD. The only blocks I have left are orthopedics and pain management. I have worked my way through medical school, which of course means I did not have much time to study. None the less, I am in the top 10% of my class, and I attribute it to the information I learned transcribing. Even if you feel you do not have the 4+ years to put ...

Having problems doing the upgrade. Support is working on it. In the meantime, does anybody know if not having this installed will create problems with getting jobs? CCM doesn't know. So far I've been able to work as usual. I'm just scared I'll go to log on and be locked out because I don't have the upgrade working yet. Thanks ...

Couldn't sign in this morning, says I need to do another update. I tried to find how to do that with QScare, e-mailing my CCM, but no response after an hour. Does anyone know how to do this? Isn't it in MQCentral somewhere? I wish I could do a search on the site, but I had to navigate through each of the options in every department, and can't find any portal. Anyone know how to do this? ...

I pointed out the job number and QA person who made two errors in a report after marking me with a Major error. The QA leader, of course, went over what "I" did wrong and why her QA was correct and mentioned the grammatical errors; however, didn't mention that they were made BY THE QA PERSON and left it implied that they were mine as well. I have a job interview tomorrow, in-house, doing office work. Can't wait. ...

Just A Quick Update
Dec 20, 2009
I haven't posted lately, but I thought that I would just drop a line to keep anyone interested up to date. I am graduating in June with my M.D., near the top of my class. Already passed the boards. As my classes have progressed it has actually gotten much easier because of my years of transcribing. I know the treatment for most diseases because I have typed them time and time again. I know there is a lot of frustration out there because of what ...

I have a new job, but I can't work because I can't get ES 9 to work. Funny thing is, it does this on both my computers, and one is an XP and one is Vista. What are the odds both computers would give this same error? The tech guy said they have never seen this error b ...

About 2 weeks ago I posted that our company was sold to an Indian entity and expressed some concerns about the future of my job, having been down that road with MT. I had expressed those concerns to my manager, who passed them along to our director of human resources, who contacted me this week to discuss them. I asked her if they had explored at all what happened to MT when the Indian companies came onto (took over) the scene and I explained to her some of the challenges faced by th ...

The doc has contacted me and we are to meet today at his office. He has such a heavy accent, I could hardly understand what he was saying. He is in need of a transcriptionist, and has 50 charts needing to be transcribed. Not sure what type of equipment he has as of yet, but obviously he must have some kind. How do I charge him. I thought about by the line at maybe 12 cpl, but his accent is so heavy, I am thinking it will take me a while before being productive ...

Med Workshops - Update
Jun 23, 2011
A while back, I posted about my experience with Med Workshops. Initially, they offered to give me my money back since I had such an awful experience with them. After they were notified by the BBB that I had filed a complaint, they refused to refund my tuition. I wanted to give prospective students a heads up about this school. I really wish that I had done more research before giving them my money. Another thing I found interesting was that they told me not to believe anything that I rea ...
Landmark - Update?
Jan 26, 2011
I worked for Landmark a while ago. Sorry for all the problems the current MTs are having. Have the owners come up with a solution about the insurance issue? Just a thought, but you might try calling your local state representative's office and asking about COBRA and/or an insurance plan run by your state that covers children. You may also have a county agency that can give you information about insurance coverage. Of note, the COBRA payment is usually the ent ...
Update On DIT Transcription ?
Feb 16, 2011
I once was employed by DIT but fortunately no longer. Was wondering if anyone had an update on them. I am still owed about $1000, but have really given up on ever getting the rest of this money. I took them to small claims back several years ago. Are they still in business? Does anyone know? I got a 1099 with their old address on it which they are supposedly not there anymore. No one can get an address, much less a phone number because there are more claims out there. Just wonder ...
Oracle Update

I haven't seen any recent posts about a lack of work at Oracle. Have things settled down to where everyone has sufficient work? I'm working for them PT and have only had 1-2 occasions where I've run out of work; however, my FTE is running out of work on an increasingly frequent basis and, if there's sufficient work at Oracle, I'd be interested in switching over to them as a FT position. Any updates on the status of the work flow? Judging from the email ...

Precyse Update
Jun 11, 2011
I was just wondering what is happening at Precyse. I left Precyse last month after they sent my fourth account over to India, and there was no work. Management kept telling us to be patient and just use PTO, but we had not really had any work for months and had already used up most of the PTO. They blamed the no work situation on the bad weather during the winter. I am at a new company now, and they seem to appreciate me, which Precyse did not. My team leader ...
