Just wanna cry - anon

Been typing my heart out all morning on unfamiliar new accounts with no previous reports, no repository, and am 200 lines short of the MINIMUM. I just want to give up. I hate this job so much.

At least you don't have NJA - This is the third day for me

with absolutely NO work AT ALL.

But I suspect I know why. They are acting like such children.

What is it you suspect? I too have had no work for 3 days and only 2 jobs today on accounts outside my BOB. I wish they would just lay us off. What they are doing is entirely unethical.

In my particular case, I suspect work is - intentionally being held back

because I have an issue with them that I will not just let go. They owe me money for unpaid wages and I won't just let them sweep it under the rug. I won't just shut my mouth and be quiet. In fact, I am making the most noise about it I possibly can because the continue to do absolutely nothing about it.

Thus, I have had no work for 3 days now.

The right thing, the ethical thing, the LEGAL thing, would be for them to just PAY me what they owe me.

Childish.

Am now 300 lines short of minimum and - did not even eat lunch.

I listen, re-listen, can't send report with too many QA markers, can't send to QA or am typing for free, can't make minimum lines. I feel like an animal trapped in a corner.

Something smacks of anti-trust here. Excerpt: It’s been a little more than two years since the AHIMA and the Medical Transcription Industry Association (MTIA) recommended the visual black character (VBC) method be used as the standard unit of measure for medical transcription. Based on research from the Joint Task Force on Standards Development, the announcement came in the form of a white paper that made quite a splash. Defining a VBC as a “character that can be seen with the nake ...

It started with forcing us to do ASR, with a 20% reduction in pay, then upped the reduction to 40%. They shove TeamWork down our throats - not for Our benefit, but to make life easier for the CCMs. Every time we get a new, improved "rule" it involves our unpaid time to read their unintelligible emails and try to decipher them. I don't Want Benchmark, or to be a member of ADHI. But this latest atrocity gives me "homicidal ideation." Penalties for blanks! Puh-l ...

Been sick all weekend. Have a sinus infection that hurts when I touch the side of my face and my eye is all scratchy and can't hardly see. Didn't want to get up this morning, but did, got ready, squirted saline in my eye so I could see fairly well for a while, sat down and NO JOBS AVAILABLE. Gets so old, but I am sure there is already an E-mail being sent that chastizes us to work our schedules. ...

So my company has been bought out by the Q, of course with the assumption that all of us will want to jump from the sinking ship --->into the cold ocean??? Technically I am fired from the old job, as that company is done for, but Q sends out an "offer of employment" with no base rate, no schedule, just a mention that things will stay the same - for now. I don't WANT to accept the job with Q! If I wanted to work for them I would have been. My question is, will ...

I would absolutely love to be able to leave a QA note on every report where the dictator is being a true imbecile. QA note "dictator smacking candy, unable to clarify." QA note "dictator calling from cell phone with bratty kids screaming in the background." QA note "dictator carrying on conversation with several others while dictating, unable to clarify what is or is not supposed to be in report." QA note "dictator a complete idiot, mumbling the whole time, spelling every ...

I am a small MTSO. I had a pretty big hospital account that went to ES VR 2 years ago. The fallout for the hospital has been rather profound. They offered me 16 for straight and 8 for VR. I thought at the time that I could live with that if VR made MTs faster and they could earn virtually the same as for straight typing. Well, that didn't turn out and my MTs ran like scalded dogs! I have since learned through grapevine that they are in real big trouble. The remaining few hospital MTs are ed ...
