There's no mention of the bankruptcy on their facebook page. I have an idea. Why don't we all head on over to there and write something. From what I've seen no one either knows about it or have their heads in the sand. I would be tickled to see that.

because I intend on riding this ship all the way to the bottom of the ocean - with the rats

hoping for unemployment while I finish school. I don't want to get fired. But go for it.

I'm actually surprised they are allowing comments on their page again - after the LAST fiasco

[ In Reply To ..]
The last major layoff they had their page got flooded from top to bottom with comments from former employees demanding to know why they were let go. It got pretty ugly ... there wasn't a single post on their page that wasn't followed up with "Hey MModal, why are you laying off all your domestic employees" types of comments. I can only imagine it took forEVER to delete all those comments, there were a couple hundred of them. They disabled their "comment" feature for a while but I see now they have enabled it again which I'm very surprised about given the current situation.

There was a link to the story someone posted on their page - But I bet it disappears quickly

This will be interesting. I hope more than a few employees are able to see it before it's yanked down.

It's gone now, was there about 10 minutes - NM

I wish I could post without my real identity ... I would post it too. I wouldn't be a BIT surprised if they remove the comment feature to their page now that they know people are asking questions.

MM/MQ has been a - blight

on an already rotten industry for nearly a quarter century. Hopefully this bankruptcy will be the final nail in their miserable coffin and good riddance.

A positive thought: Maybe they'll have to give - back some of their takeover companies! Hehe

no. we are the new "shirt factories" - East MT

[ In Reply To ..]
Around here when I was in school the first time, about 13 years ago several "shirt factories" as they called them--manufactures of apparel, the largest obviously being shirts--went out of business. I went to school with a lot of mature women who were back in school paid for by the companies. They went back for things like phlebotomy and medical tech (facepalm so hard...what a useless degree). The majority of them were glad to be able to get money to go back to school and learn something new. But I am sure there were some who lamented over their closure and hoped for the day the jobs would be brought back. Has not happened and won't happen. Same for us ladies, i'm sorry to say.

We need to keep telling people that until they really understand - MME

Same here, I knew people in the auto industry in Detroit - when that industry went away, it almost KILLED that community. It was all they ever knew ... some of them came from generations of auto workers and they never thought of doing anything else. You either *were* an auto worker, or you *married* an auto worker - there were no other choices. When that industry closed down, there were people who went years and years thinking, it will come back and be like it used to. They will realize their mistake and bring it all back. Some of them even needed counseling afterward because it was so engrained in their minds that one day, things will be "normal" again.

We are in the same exact situation. MT is NEVER coming back again. It will NEVER be like it was 20 years ago, "back in the day". The industry is going away. The small little companies where everyone knew everyone, and who paid MTs tons of money for straight typing will never come back again. NOT EVER. I hope everyone here will look at themselves in the eyes in a mirror and repeat those words: It is NEVER coming back.

We all read these words every single day on this board but how many are REALLY listening?

It doesn't really matter which type of bankruptcy MM files for - this is an enormous red flag that this company is going under. Good strong, healthy financially viable companies do not file for bankruptcy. It may not happen today, or tomorrow or next week, but the thought that we can wake up tomorrow (literally) and every one of us be jobless is a VERY REAL possibility and we have to prepare for that right now and protect ourselves and our family from that possibility because the work we're doing today, we can't even be 100% assured we will be paid for next payday. Isn't it better to get out on OUR terms than to have them decide it FOR us?

Repeat these words to yourself as you read them: It's not coming back. It will never be what it once was. It's time for us all to move on.

Now ... make a plan. Figure out your next step.

and noticing that it is really not doing a good job lately. I've not usually had problems with it when it comes to regular English-speaking doctors, but this week it has been a mess. It is either not putting in entire sentences or putting in off the wall stuff that sounds nothing like what is being said. I've come to expect that with ESL, but certainly not with English as native language. Weird. Must be taking some time off for MT week. ...

MModal asks for your SS# on the application process of applying for jobs there!!! Thanks to some of you, I ran ran ran from this place. When I inquired about how uncomfortable I was with sharing my SS#...I was told to just use any number. WHAT?!!? Then why have it there!!! Who in their right mind would give their SS# to a company that hasn't even hired them yet. I agree with the rest of you. RUN SALLY RUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN ...

Why is MModal posting job openings, when so many of use are running out of work or worse falling into the pool--what with the pay cuts, VR being paid half even though it takes nearly as long to edit most reports, and the fact that I only get my "primary" accounts about 30% of the time and the rest of the time I am typing from the pool so that nearly every report that comes up is a new facility or dictator, I have gone from making $16 an hour to minimum wage. I cannot afford this. Why can' ...

I see so many complaints about MModal. Does anyone actually like them? I'm in the hiring process and they are calling with an offer. I would like to try it out. I work in-house now, but eventually my position will be eliminated due to VR. I do not make that great of pay, and have lots of down time, but still have to sit in the office all day. I know that all companies have their ups and downs. My hospital being Union makes doing anything impossible and makes it easier to keep the "bad ...

Well, I suppose any transciption job would do the same. Before this profression, I was a good little girl who would never swear or cuss and even chastised others for doing so, but since becoming an MT (especially with MModal), with all these horrendous dictators and this buggy platform, if you listen from outside my office, you'd think someone locked a surly sailor with Tourettes in with me. I've called dictators names that would make a construction worker blush. I al ...

Left MModal 18 mos. ago and have been on here encouraging everybody that there is life after MQ/MM. This week my wonderful clinic goes live with EMR. The trainer won't even recognize transcription. He is just adamant that the docs will enter everything themselves and when they don't, he is pushing Dragon Medical. So I guess I was wrong. I really thought I found a way out, but apparently not. It was a great year and a half though. ...

There is one area we do plan to adjust for 2014 which we expect will impact a very small percentage of our employees. If your spouse or domestic partner works and is eligible to receive health benefits in another qualified plan in 2014, you will be subject to a $100 per month surcharge if you elect to include them in the M*Modal healthcare plan. Keep in mind that this cost applies only to working spouses and domestic partners, not to children or other dependents ...

I am so sick of Mmodal. I resigned recently and I keep getting letters to return things that I have never ever owned or received or stuff that I had sent back to them years ago. The DEPOT apparently is as ignorant as the rest of them. SO glad I found real job that pays, respects and appreciates their employees. I have only one PC to return and they sent me five boxes and a bunch of labels and stating that I have in my possession 7 different things.... OMG.. what a joke!!! ...

can you specify exactly what laws they have broken? Yes, we are all unhappy here, but I cannot see that they have done anything they cannot do legally. The last judgment against them was for witholding pay. I think they are too smart to break laws again. What do you expect to gain anyway by suing a company that has filed bankruptcy, which is always a very smart business move to make if you can get away with it. ...

They cut our PTO, increased our insurance premiums, no rate increases ever yet they expect us to jump through hoops to get the backlog down. For who???

It took a stupid pill.
