MOT related to bankruptcy? - cr


Posted: May 12, 2015

It's been my experience that when there's a deluge of work all at once to be finished up, it's because the hospital/company is about to switch gears, with the MT suffering the most.  I'm not financial savvy, but I wonder if this latest MOT stuff is related to the recent bankruptcy, that possibly the reserve money to pay the MTs is running out, so the company is about to go under or sell out.  Something's up for sure.

Doubtful. There is one company where MOT - MT3

has been standard operating procedure for years. They say it is because people are on vacation, but I think it is because of turn over and their promise to keep things in TAT. They have had this literally every week for the last 2 or more years that I was there and they did not go bankrupt. Bad management maybe but not not that, at least in this particular case.

Paying OT for production pay is peanuts. They - are paying next to nothing

for all this extra work and certainly less than maintaining an actual new employee and the associated costs.

Exactly, Which is why I say DON'T DO IT.... - nm

Not to stomp on someone when they are down....but WOW! You mean with all the outsourcing and cutting pay, you STILL cannot pay your bills M-Modal???  I was really surprised to see this in the mail today.  Almost threw it away when I saw it because it looked like junk mail.  Glad I didn't.  Unbelievable. But I imagine they are not filing Chpt 13, just getting a fresh start. Best of luck to all my former sister and brother MTs there!  Wow!!! ...

Related Lines Of Work
Aug 27, 2013

I've been in healthcare documentation for over 7 years. The well is drying up, it seems that almost nobody is hiring, and the ones that are want the whole class to be as good as the valedictorian, if you know what I mean (and the medical industry as a whole seems bound and determined to destroy employee rights). Can my experience get me something in legal transcription or something else more stable? I can't afford more schooling, I got bills to pay. ...


Another Not Related To MT Question. I Recently

purchased a book on eBay.  The member not only accepted my pay and did not send, it she was very rude about it.  I think I have done all I can do, but I want to make sure.  She is leaving me negative feedback simply because I left it about her.  That is not fair and I have reported her.  Oh and to let you all know, it is a seller going by amg585.  I asked them where my book was and got a very rude response so am asking for a refund, but the fact they are leaving me ...

MModal Bankruptcy

Im an analyst who is following the bankruptcy of Mmodal and am trying to understand the company better on both the transcription and ASR side.   I have read that on the transcription side, many of you have seen pay cuts, lower task volumes, increased quality standards and/or outsourcing of jobs.  If anyone has the time, would you mind sharing with me when this transition first started?  Has it been 5yrs, 3yrs, 1yr, or only in the last few months that things have gotten more difficult for ...

There are severe legal ramifications if you put in writing that you agree to this cost cutting/salary control maneuvering by MQ.  Essentially they are getting us to let them off the hook with these "ESSAYS."  Please note on the email it states:  "All entries become the property of MQ and may be used in future communications."  Also, not to be outdone by their own salary slashing FTR program, they have also taken more time/money away from us as these are to be done on OUR O ...

Need To Vent (computer Chair Related)

My computer chair tore up, so I needed to get a new one. I tried some out at the store and got a cushy one. After I put it together and sat in it for 30 minutes, I had severe pain. It felt like my whole body went numb and tingly. So I had to take it back. I got a second chair and can tell it's not going to be comfortable and that I will need to take it back. I'm sick, tired, and frustrated about this. Not at the stores or the people that work there, because it's not their fault ( ...


What Is Your Work-related New Year's Resolution?

Suggestion To Aid With Income-related Discussions.
Aug 10, 2012

I've noticed that we need some sort of standard reference or metric to use when we talk about income-related issues, and this metric should not merely reference dollars (or cents), but should relate this to <i>a unit of time</i>.  At the end of the day, it's how much you earned per unit of time that really matters, and this the only sort of metric that takes into account all of the variables that a mere monetary reference such as "line rate" does not. The line rate pa ...

to your desktop, save any old performance reports to show changes that happen before and after, anything showing changes in pay before and after, before you get locked out of email.  This "Grid Scandal" has Class Action Suit written all over it.  When you are finally forced out for "nonperformance" then you have a paper trail.  Nuance is going to unleash the full fury of QA upon us to catch every misplaced comma in order to dock our pay as much as they can, and when you are finall ...

Has Anyone Filed Bankruptcy And Foreclosure During These Hard Times
