Layoffs/Terminations - ladybug1
Posted: Apr 11, 2013
Think I will get the proverbial axe on Monday or Tuesday - Tuesday should be the first day of my new pay period according to my schedule. After the corrective action for low LPH and many other things bugging me - definitely kept asking questions and when one did not answer, or answer fully, went higher, and also to HR. I really did love this job and it makes me so angry and depressed all at once at how things have gotten so awful! I did finally get them to finally acknowledge that our lines are counted differently (far less per report) in VR than they were in other platforms! Talk about adding insult to injury! Lower pay and have to do nearly approximately double the reports for the same amount of lines that will not pay the same amount.
You all are so wonderful and have such a wealth of information, at least I feel like if I do get the axe - there are many options out there. Just wish we could still make our money with the pride we used to have!
How are VR lines counted differently? - hm
[ In Reply To ..]What exactly did they say? Does it apply to DQS VR? (Fluency VR) TIA
Layoffs/Terminations - ladybug1
[ In Reply To ..]Something to do with headers and footers, not being counted in - and something was mentioned about demographics too - it did not make sense to me though as I know some of that had not been counted on the other platforms I worked in. These are differences in Clarity and in Cornerstone (VR). I know one day in Cornerstone I did 140 reports and only got 986 lines - in Clarity that would have been 2000 or at least close to it. Never been good at understanding their calculations but was sure good at knowing how many lines I should have according to how many reports I did.
They don't count headers, footers, et cetera in DQS/Fluency. - nm

Headers, footers, etc - ladybug1
[ In Reply To ..]I honestly do not think they did in my other platforms either - and demographics have certainly never come into the picture! But, it is obvious our lines are far less per report than they once were and we have a lot of info that we have to enter that we get no credit for - no wonder LPH is off! Just discouraging to think of working harder, when no work is really there, and then less lines/pay for what you do! UGH! You know, even though I got a corrective action for my poor LPH - I am still extremely quality conscious and will remain so until the day they get rid of me - refuse to compromise patient care or my own standards of presenting the best quality work that I possibly can.
What are headers and footers? - TIA NM

After trying to have enough work today, barely having it, my stomach is in knots. As a single mother I cannot function any longer with the burning in my stomach from this place. I was a buy-out a few months ago, where I was perfectly happy at my job. Can someone PLEASE enlighten us and tell us the true story.

Is There A Reason Given For The Terminations
Sep 11, 2013
I haven't been to MTStars much lately and noticed some are talking about being terminated. Are you given a reason for the termination? I scraped by my last evaluation (this percentage you have to keep is scary no matter how they tell you the scoring is changed). Scared silly I'll be terminated because don't want retire until I'm 65 (getting close) and too old to start looking for a home job again because I can't work outside the home anymore. Wha ...
Transcend - Terminations For Errors?
Aug 22, 2011
Got a job back from the customer this week and a note from QA about an error that didn't go to customer. But... 2 in one week. I am so embarrassed and more than a little concerned. I think I am trying too hard to build up line count and being sloppy. (No excuses for that, bad...me) Not that I am making a fortune on this job, but I do not want to be terminated for quality issues. My morale is bad enough right now without that. Never worked so hard to make ...
Where Are The Layoffs
Apr 07, 2013
Unless I missed something, no one has said if there were specific regions where many MTs were laid off. Perhaps MM is going about this region by region. I am a Tier 3 part-timer and have not received a call. Of course, my mgr said it was all a rumor -- yea, right. I agree with those who said we are being replaced by India. I'd love to know MM's timetable for this -- and their thinking behind who goes here and who stays. I have had more than enough work from my primary account ...

April Layoffs

I was laid off April 4th. Supervisor was sorry she had to make the call as there was no problem with my work. Had been with company 16 years and worked 7 days a week, third shift, split shift, part time. It is all working out though, collecting unemployment and in school thanks to TAA. Everything is paid for: books, tuition, supplies and if school is 50 miles from home, a gas allowance is available. UE office said I could attend any college I chose and that thi ...
MModal Layoffs
Aug 17, 2013
Anyone wanting to discuss the lay offs by MModal and the commonaliities of people laid off, please contact me through the "reply by email" button below or through this board. We were fired because our jobs were outsourced. The person who called and told about this "transition" admited it when I asked. Company loyalty means nothing to these people; they're just big business. I feel sorry for middle management, who probably know they're next to go. ...

I Just Read The Posts Below About Layoffs.
Apr 05, 2013
The layoffs seem to be posts from Evelyn, Liz, Donna, Sue, Lee, Ruth, Pegge, Ginger and so on. Another post stated she talked to her TSM and it was all rumors. I do not mean to offend anyone, but I am part time and have overtime work tonight and for this weekend. Maybe due to people being laid off?? The thing is, I do not work my hours like I should because I am so SICK of this job after being here way too many years to care anymore. I have another job ...
Medical Transcription Layoffs
Sep 29, 2013
Many MTs are losing their jobs or grossly under-employed due to outsourcing. The salary for many is insufficient to live off of in the USA. These MTs have been very loyal, flexible, highly productive employees that are committed to excellence. How did we get to this point where hardworking, loyal medical transcriptionists are no longer valued as employees by even the "Best Companies?" What can we do to keep MTs in the USA from being hungry and living in poverty level? These ...

Layoffs, Acquisitions, Economy, Companies. Sm
Sep 03, 2010
With the economy the way it is, layoffs happen. Do you really think that companies like to lay people off? If they lay people off, there is less being transcribed and less being invoiced and less profit lining their pockets. While I agree that email seems a cold way to lay people off, what option did they have? Everyone works remotely, right? If they started to make phone calls, it would've caused a panic for those who weren't being laid off. This wa ...

If anyone is in the Atlanta, Georgia area or in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area who was laid off 2 days ago by Webmedx and is obviously still upset about it, as I am, I think it would be a good idea to notify any local newspapers in these 2 cities regarding the recent massive layoff at Webmedx, Inc. I believe the Atlanta office is their headquarters and the Pittsburgh office is their operations office. I know they also have an office in Brentwood, Tennessee, but I'm ...
Don't Be Too Shocked By Christmas Layoffs And Firings

I used to work for a company that had an annual Christmas layoff. It was almost a joke with those of us who had survived the latest round. Most companies have a budget. In bad times they tend to run out of money at the end of the year. It's rotten and shows poor planning, but nobody should be shocked when it happens. ...
WebmedX - VAST Layoffs, Now Firings, Even Of CMTs, 1/3 Pay
Oct 10, 2010
First continually and rapidly cutting our pay to nothing while we had to retrain on numerous systems, then mass layoffs of seasoned employees, even CMTs AND newbies, now they're trying this week to create reasons to let the rest of us go. I think it's past time we look into A.) a class-action lawsuit and B.) go public with our outrage! They cut our pay to nothing but continue to charge their CLIENTS too much so they lose accounts to MedQuist and start treating US like dirt? ...
Has Anyone Worked Anywhere In ANY Field Where Employees Were Told Of Impending Layoffs?

I've been working since I was 15 years old in various fields and have witnessed many, many layoffs. Although I have usually been in a position where I was privvy to the details of when the layoff would take place and who was on the list to be cut, I have NEVER worked anywhere where the employees to be laid off were given a heads-up beforehand. Sure, rumors would circulate about the impending cuts, but I've never heard of employers actually warning an employee that they were ...
