Possible 3 cent a line paycut but WHOA I get AHDI and - REFERENCE MATERIAL.

After sleeping on this.  I am so mad that my hands are shaking. 

I have WONDERFUL reference material of my own - printed, online and software.  What are they GIVING me? 

So to those of us who have a certain client who is KNOWN for poor audio CONSTANTLY, popping, hissing, squealing, fading in and out -- not to mention the over abundance of ESL dictators who not only cannot speak English but eat, yawn and whistle while they are dictating -- we have been told for all our troubles for trying to complete these reports that we are going to be rewarded with a PAYCUT?  Oh -- but it's okay because they are going to give us benchmark and AHDI membership - woweeee. 

I have been MT for years and years then QA, then at gunpoint forced to be MME and I have seen it all.  I know what we are facing.  I know what the MTs have been going through in my service.  It is a shame.  A SHAME. 

These con artists stole money out of our pay in the shadows before, now they will do it right out in the open. 

For those of you who have great clients, few ESL and clear dictators, you don't have a clue what this team has been through.  Not a clue.  I have stood up for so many MTs, defending them because our dictators are CRAP.  The audio is CRAP.  MQ and the client will do nothing about this situation and it has been going on for a long time.  So this is their solution? 

You get three lashes if you go over the limit.  It doesn't matter that the report had only 2 audible words out of 2000 seconds.  It doesn't matter.  So, I guess the MMEs, if we cannot understand all of your blanks, we get all of yours plus ours.  NICE . . . .

I THOUGHT I had seen it all from MQ.  But then again, that was long before Indian owners.  This is not acceptable. 

Yes, there are those out there who abuse the system, but in my service area, even the EXCELLENT MTs struggle hard with the clients that we have.  They are tough.  And now it is going to be tougher to make money with MQ.  You might as well go get a minimum wage job. 

I am not excited about this at all.  Like I said if you have a great client with clear static free lines and clear dictators, MAYBE you don't have to worry, but even you will work with that whip hanging right over your back.  I have NEVER worked for a place doing transcription thay threatened you with a paycut if the dictators were GARBAGE. 

So, AHDI stands behind this practice of shortening one's pay even the MT has no other choice because of horrible dictation so much that they offer up free membership?  Hurting for members some AHDI?  Why don't you back up the MTs who pay you dues and pay for your joke of a certification?  Where are you demanding that we do not get punished.  Oh?  You are in bed with MQ THAT'S RIGHT!

AHDI should stand for ASSOCIATION for HEALTHCARE DOCUMENTATION in INDIA!  Where did "America" go in your name AHDI?  Holding too many foreign cheap labor hands are ya?

What happened to the good old days of firing those who are not doing their jobs and rewarding the ones that are? 

MOST IMPORTANT -- Where in this whole scheme is there a reward program?  Bust your rump, but not to make a bonus, just to make sure your pay doesn't get cut. 

GREAT PROGRAM MQ!
