Nope. Not a word about one, either.

I wonder why some of us have and some of us have not? Hmmmm . . .

(I hope I get laid off, I really do.)

The stress level is unreal!

I did, but CCM said it was voluntary and - we would not be paid for it.

With my paycheck shrinking almost daily I can't afford to attend a conference call and not get paid (it would be during my shift).

She said it would only be 15 minutes long, but I know darn well it would end up lasting a lot longer than that with all the questions and ticked off MTs, so I am opting not to go.

I'm hoping anyone that does have those types of calls will help out by posting any new developments here.

I will not go for free. Ask the CCM or the CEO - if they work for free.

THat is not right to ask people to attend company-related meetings and not get paid for it.

This place just gets me sicker every day.

Well, I guess I'm not going even if I am asked. They can go to that firey place and grab a pitchfork.

That is BULLCRAP. Tell them that SA5 received - pay, 45 minutes worth.

It is on my schedulesource now. 45 minutes worth of admin time. Stick it to them!

How do you get a conference and get it paid and - I cant even get a return e-mail?

[ In Reply To ..]
What the heck is wrong with this company?

Can anyone tell us what these conferences are about? Are the ones not invited about to be laid off?

UGH... My BP is going through the roof. I can feel a pulsation in my ears!

I hope so. That would be - better than this.

My CCM has not said anything in the few emails she has sent out.

I'll take UE until my new full time job starts in a couple months. I don't have a problem with it.

I just wish they would do it already. You know it is coming sooner or later, don't you?

I received an email stating there was a meeting. - Not just one, but two!

[ In Reply To ..]
And we could pick with of the 2 meetings. Both meetings in one day, about 2 hours apart from one another.

That was last Tuesday. Strictly talked about the QA submission. Absolutely NO NEWS about it. Just some questions and manager would get back to us. After the meeting, she told us to email her that we were in the meeting and later she put the time in schedulesource. Sorry you are going through this, but you all fight for it. How? I am not sure. There was another group who had a meeting in SA5 and I believe it was last Monday.

Haven't heard a thing from CCM about it n/m - 12yrmt

Does anyone remember the conference calls we had when transitioning to Transcend from MDI-MD regarding our line rates? I can remember quite a few people being upset that after being told our rates would not change, many had their line rates cut. And I specifically remember them saying that once our account went to VR, we would be getting 50% of our transcription rate. Does anyone else remember this as well? Either I'm losing my memory or someone is playing games because o ...

This is to all the people that get ticked off when MQ calls them to work. I WOULD KILL FOR A CALL TO WORK AT ANY TIME OF THE DAY OR NIGHT. I have always said I am available 24/7, but with the "new and not improved" MQ there is really no one to tell that to, no one who truly cares -- about the client or the employee. How wonderful it would be to feel needed again. With so many of us vying over so few reports, the only feeling I get from them is "just quit, just quit, ...

I am so burned out and so tired of trying to get jobs here. So many of these recruiters do not call when they say they will and a few just never called. No explanations, no apology, like "Oh well they are only MTs, a dime a dozen and who cares if we do not call and fail to give them the courtesy you would any other worker." I am just worn out and sick of trying, sick of doing all the testing and then having an interview where nothing ever happens. I must admit Nuanc ...

This post is in regard to posts I have seen lately on this board regarding dictators. They actually do care or must feel they need to address situations that I bring to their attention. A call regarding flags from the physician himself. He is realizing how much time I am spending locating certain info not dictated. He tells me officially that the facility is to handle that now so as not to take up my time. A call from a dictator today, stating as he made so many errors and redictations on the ...

You can't get some of the schools to stop calling you even after you tell them you've enrolled with another school and graduated, and have a job. Is anyone else offended by the high-pressure tactics? If a school has to keep calling and offering discounts and specials, that's a red flag, or is it just me? I got my training years ago and I still can't get them to go away. You expect that from those cheesy sales people trying to sell you whatever, but th ...

The first call I received was week before last from Future Net. He said he got my name off of this board. I posted my resume YEARS ago. I swear, I could not understand half of what that man said. He was worse than any ESL I have transcribed. I did get that he was asking me if I was interested in a job. When I asked him what it was for, he did not know!! I told him I could not answer that question unless he could give me specifics. He said he would ...

It's no secret that on the charts and pies, there is the "elite" mgt team where all the money is funneled and then the lowly worker bees, aka MLS who allow that mgt team to enjoy the life they've become so accustomed to. Why bother to have such a call to just rub it in everyone's face? ...

So many phone calls, very pushy, rushed me to complete paperwork and software training, said my account would be VR, great bonuses, potential for 5.5 cpl, blah, blah, blah. They called right before the day I would officially start to inform me that the account for which I was hired miraculously had no work left...an account I was told was swamped during phone interview. They offered me a new account and everything discussed in our phone interviews (both with supervisor and HR) was completel ...

Has anyone else been getting strange recorded phone calls from M*Modal telling you to test for them? I keep ignoring them and yet they keep calling.

Why do companies call you and if you are not there they leave a number. Then when you call back they are not there. You tell them that you are interested, but they never call back. I even called back twice and never got a call back. Plus I have had companies send me e-mails that they are interested and fill out the form. Then I never here anything. What is up with all this? ...
