Off shore working - Frustrated and almost broke


Posted: Oct 08, 2013

Currently right now, there are 1301 employers working on our accounts off shore, whiile ony in-state 198 are working.  Now where are our jobs?  no wonder we have NJAs

 

Wow. I wonder why they bother keeping a U.S. presence at all? - sm

Though the numbers might be reversed, or close to it, in about 12 hours?

no they always have more working than we do - and more work as well

by a lot. Believe me, MM would get rid of all of us tomorrow if they could.

To maintain the pretense - sm

It is to maintain the pretense that it is a US company and that the work is being done in the US. They need at least some US MTs to support the claim that they are unable to find enough US MTs to do the work, the justification for offshoring.
That's what I was thinking, and that they keep just you few now so they can be - sm

"creative" when describing their actual situation to accounts that require only U.S. MTs.

I worked for the Q back in the day when it was pulling all the shenanigans that resulted in multiple lawsuits, and I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out that it's still essentially skirting the law, by the way it represents itself as a company, etc.
Who owns MModal now? - mt

It may be a U.S. company now?
One Equity Partners/JP Morgan I believe - JustMe

The last I heard, which was July 2012, we were acquired by One Equity Partners, which is a private investment arm of JP Morgan Chase & Co. If anyone has more updated info, please share. Thanks!

How and where did you get these figures? - L&L

Are they really available somewhere?

on DEP - if you are an MME

Off-shore

Our work is going offshore faster than you can imagine.  According to posts, I see we are wondering about the lack of work, in many cases for over a year.  We are behind in getting info on this.  Google off-shore transcription or any words that will get you the info.  The information is plentiful.  Many articles state the hospitals are unaware that work is going off shore.  They just dictate, assume it goes to a central system in the states and we sit behind our des ...

More CMTs Coming From Off-shore
Dec 18, 2010

New CMT & RMT tests out, so off-shore will be teaching to the tests big time.  This is going on in our industry and others; but savvy big companies are awake and tweaking certification testing to catch the problem; not sure ADHI is sophisticated enough for that.  I am really NOT sure they WANT to address that issue.  Watch the flood of new CMTs from off-shore...and what it does to availability of our jobs.  (Yet there will be the re ...

Petition To Stop Sending Our Jobs Off Shore
Nov 19, 2012

There is a petition here http://wh.gov/XbqE about stopping off-shoring jobs. I saw it on facebook, and it would apply to MT, I think. They need 150 signatures for it to be put on the White House website. If our jobs were back here and not sent to other countries, maybe we could finally work and get paid enough to survive - kind of like in the "good old days." ...

US MT Working Outside Of The US
Nov 12, 2010

I have an odd question.  If a US trained Medical Transcriptionist works from home (in the U.S.), but then decides to spend 1/2 the year (or more) in a foreign country, is it possible (ethical/legal) to continue working as an MT while in that country?  The MT would keep the US address, and bank account.  All paychecks would continue to be direct deposited into current U.S. bank account.  MT would continue to pay U.S. taxes on all monies earned.  Does anyone see anyt ...
