Just a little funny - Anon

Posted: Mar 21, 2014

I was looking at glassdoor, where you can see reviews of different companies. I was looking to see if there were any reviews on M*Modal. AND there are. The majority are bad -- really bad. What I find funny is that even Indian employees are complaining about them. One of them wrote "Joining here is like you are committing a suicide". So, how bad does a company have to be that even people in India think it is horrible?

OK ... that did make me laugh! - anon

Not that suicide is funny by ANY stretch, but the fact that a company can drive its employees to such a state of madness is a little humorous in a sick kind of way.

Funny if you have a sick sense of humor, which - I do. Thanks for sharing - I think. NM

What was even funnier was that - I read it in an "Indian voice"

That is so funny b/c when my hospital announced we were getting laid off and for all of us to apply with the outsourced company they chose (M*Modal) I spoke up and said...There is no way I would work for M*Modal b/c I had gone to Glassdoor and read the reviews. They had never heard of it and asked what it said. I had it pulled up on my lap top so I just read a couple of things to them (one was the suicide one)......it was like.....hello? hello? Anyone there? They were speechless. I told them....you all are trying to save a dime and you are going to end up spending a dollar before it is all over with. Believe me, I was more than tickled to tell them of the M*Modal bankruptcy news. Idiot corporate people.

good for you! - nm

I also find it funny that none of us (9 transcriptionists) that are getting laid off are applying for M*Modal. Our hospital wants us to b/c that would let them off the hook for unemployment. No way! After 2 minutes of researching on MTStars I had surmised that M*Modal wanted us to come on board with them solely to get our doctors perfected on their VR program and then put us out to pasture. Come on, I was born on a Tuesday but not last Tuesday. Once again, speechless corporate. Then corporate spoke up and said....but, but M*Modal promised this and promised that. I said...oh yeah, we are going to go over t M*Modal and have a big group hug and become millionaires and type our way off into the sunset. Give me a break I said. I also said M*Modal is telling you all everything you want to hear, but I promise you that you all will regret this decision. Then, I also said it is so funny how hospitals tout the motto...."All about the care of the patient"....what you all should say is..."All about corporate pocketbooks." I had one supervisor ask me...what are you going to do if you don't work for M*Modal? I said...."I'll go scoop ice cream for minimum wage before I go to that sweatshop!"

Again, good for you! - You sure wont regret

your decision; neither will your co-workers. The only ones with regrets will be the hospital...and its patients. Best of luck to you!

One more thing....M*Modal came back to us and said...okay, okay ladies we are going to give you a second chance to apply with us since none of you chose to do so the first time. I told my supervisor...I thought I told them the first time to kiss my! Then, I pointed out the typos to her in M*Modal's e-mail that they sent to us. They are begging us to come work for them.

Good for you. Hope everything does work - sm

out for you and your fellow co-workers. As one who went with MModal after they bought the company I worked for, for 6 weeks they kept us as we were with our pay, the way we counted characters, etc. After that, we were switched to "MModal rules." Needless to say, pay and production went down.

Yes! And when they invite MM talking - Val

heads to come talk to you and tell you HOW MUCH MM LOVES their transcriptionists and HOW MUCH THEY CARE, please rip them a new one for me and your people. Been there, done it, got the vomit bag to prove it. HA! Go girl! Shred them.

Believe me Val, I've got so much more to tell them. I'm sitting on ready. I told my supervisor after all this goes down with the lay-off and they need me to help them with all the blanks and inaccuracies in the reports the Indians send back for our ESL doctors that we just dote on and love they can send me a postcard begging me to come back and straighten it out b/c my landline will be disconnected.

My poor brain couldn't handle any more last night.) “… which suggests some risk for future problems in the future if treatment in this area of treatment efforts are un ...
