Posted: Oct 02, 2011

Article shows a person holding a sign stating, LIVE SIMPLY SO OTHER MAY SIMPLY LIVE.

Sounds like the higher ups at MQ????? I know, we are scattered all over to protest, BUT STILL!!!! WAKE UP BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF MQ!!!!!!

Article also states: "I don't think we're asking for much, just to wake up every morning not worrying whether we can pay the rent, or whether our next meal will be rice and beans again," Larkins wrote in an email to The Associated Press. "No one is expecting immediate change. I think everyone is just hopeful that people will wake up a bit and realize that the more we speak up, the more the people that do have the authority to make changes in this world listen."

Finally the voice of the people - oy

Whoever sold the medical transcription industry on what a timesaving, streamlining, cost saving state-of-the art boon to the profession ASR would become is the scammingest grifter I ever heard of. oops. It is saving costs by decimating transcriptionists' pay. I wonder how many years they have left to make payments on the Brooklyn Bridge. ...

My company has always invited us to create and store template dictations for common use by everyone. I've made many and been happy to share, and since they're good quality they're used by many, even some dictators to set up their own formal templates. It's always pleased me to be a team player, but, let's face it, this is only one more thing that allows my company to hire less skilled people and lower the line rates it pays me. Just BTW, I figure it costs me proba ...

These are transcriptionists that were pretty much forced to sign onto Nuance once they took over the transcription of their hospital. No option for UE or severance! After working for Nuance see how much their pay drops. Pretty disgusting, actually. We have all experienced it, but gradually for us, bit by bit, but these poor ladies got a huge dose all at once and went from making good money and good benefits to minimum wage. ...

Is it really coming down to living in a box under a bridge with this job skill? I'm certainly headed that way. Am I alone? I don't know how any MT who is single can make it at 4 cpl. How is this company able to get away with paying such low wages while demanding 99% perfection, and a 200 lines per hour? With no pension and no possibility of retirement hopelessness is my middle name. ...

I could go into a lot of woes about MT work. We all know how the industry is going. I am in my 50s, and frankly I am just biding/doing my time. My back is bad, my legs won't hold up for standing or walking too long, this computer has all but done my eyesight in. ;) That being said, I do have to give the positives. I made very good money for nearly 14 years. I cand dress up or down, work in my night gown, undies or whatever I deem appropr ...
