[ In Reply To ..]Transcription sadly is not the field to go into these days...the jobs are outsourced overseas and if you do happen to find work in the USA it is usually only a matter of time before it is outsourced too...I have done transcription of 15 years and can't find work in any state and I am relocatable...not dealing with M-Modal or any of these other bogus companies! If you ever find a legit one please tell me!
Should have just had 1 slide. Thanks MLS chumps. We are - enjoying our lovely homes and vacations.
[ In Reply To ..]The bottom line is there IS money, but it's directed in the wrong direction.
Reward is not getting a pay cut I guess - anxious
[ In Reply To ..]I guess I should be thankful that we didn't get cut to 8/4 as many were predicting. However, it is a bitter pill to swallow knowing all the time and money spent these last 9 months doing a "comprehensive compensation review; this review will be inclusive of speech recognition, traditional transcription, technology, draft quality, incentives, account and dictator variances, workflow, PTO and benefit options, and professional development opportunities" and mentioning how much we are needed the best they came up was the $10 spot reward. After all that?
Claiming the technology they bought after they cut our pay is not really a reward, just a reshuffling of money. Claiming benefits paid out to only a few people as a reward (and a lousy 401K match at that) is just their guilt speaking.
So I guess I will be grateful I didn't take a 33% pay cut today and learn my lesson loud and clear. Reward plan from andmmodal is an oxymoron, like jumbo shrimp.
Do not be surprised if they don't go ahead and cut our pay anyways. - mom2huskies
[ In Reply To ..]Remember Amy did say industry standards.
Agree. That was probably the lead up to the next - update. Discouraged

Nothing surprises me anymore - anxious
[ In Reply To ..]MModal never cuts pay on conference call, they just send out emails. One year they cut our ASR pay rate right before Christmas. Heartless.
Here is the sad thing. As Mmodal gobbles up more of the pie they basically are the industry standard. So they will not be able to use that as the excuse since they set the rates but I would not be surprised to see them use something else as an excuse to not pay us any more money.
I keep my expectations low. That way, I am - never disappointed. sm
[ In Reply To ..]It sucks as a philosophy, but as long as I'm with this company, it works.

Rate Increases
Oct 30, 2014
I am sure most of us expected an increase in our healthcare costs...been a couple years since they have increased. I think now might be a good time for them to consider giving the MTs a rate increase..,when is the last time that has gone up? The cost of everything else has gone up but our pays have not...they have even gone down for alot of us. ...
New Minimum Wage Increases For 2015
Dec 31, 2014
Just curious about this as the new increases in some states are more than what a lot of MTs make hourly, i.e. Seattle, Washington, $15.00 an hour. This won't affect me personally, but I wonder how MTSOs will be handling this situation. If an employee is paid on production but is an employee and not an IC, if she lives in Washington or another state where minimum wage is higher than what she is producing, how does an MTSO handle this? ...

Need Advice-Continue MT Or Quit
Jun 07, 2012
I've been an MT for over 20 years. Have had my own clients in Rhematology for the past 12 years, been working at home for 15 years. Clients have switched to point-and-click and VR except for one who is Lebanese and hates the point-and-click and can't do VR. So, I started working for a great company doing ENT, but pay is 8 cents/line, quite the cut, but good dictators. They might soon be going to VR. I live in a small town and really don't want to work ...

For Anyone That Works On EMRs Or Epic, Do You Still Continue
Aug 14, 2012
to work in your regular platform such as DQS or do you have to download an entirely new system to work in a hospital EMR. My hospital is on DQS and going to EMR or Epic so I am not sure if that means all my short cuts etc are gone or we continue somehow to use both systems. I doubt you can use short cuts in EMR but again I have no idea and I dont think you can move your short cuts out of DQS to another system and again I dont know. Seems like I dont know much this morning at al ...

I Find It Baffling That An MTSO Would Continue To Send Out Sm

pleas for help on an account when she has not paid her employees. I cannot speak for everyone, but as for me, no pay equals no work. I realize it is not the client's fault as I am sure they paid their bill, so I do feel bad on that side, but on the other hand, only a fool keeps on working while someone dangles that carrot with the possibility they might be paid sometime. Ugh. ...
"Turnover Rates Continue To Rise. Wages Plummet."
Jun 06, 2013
Following an in-depth investigative report of how corporate profits soar at the mercy of the increasingly invisible labor force in this business, we could publish a cartoon depicting a wide-mouth funnel at the top with all the newly "acquired" MTs falling in, with the bottom of the funnel (the other opening) pouring out the newly unemployed. Churning around inside the murky vortex are the chronically underpaid sweatshop slave-wage fools. Wonder if the creepy people responsible for this me ...
