Quit watching the game - and DICTATE!!!

We are all for the ability to send a report on to the customer with a blank that we know good and well cannot be filled in by QA. Take away the 3 cent pay cut and we will be OK with it. ...

Been here for long time. Maybe they are trying to get rid of me. Don't know why. Continuously checking my work would be one reason to think so, but why after all these years is my question. Maybe feel the urge to pick on me, pettiness?? Hopefully I will be long gone soon and will be just dust in the wind :) ...

...they probably realize that it's completely anonymous. So watching us all agonize over the current situation when just ONE of them could easily come on using a pseudonym and give us some idea about what is going on or give some insight as to how the decisions are being made ... if there is something we can do at this point to help us get on firm ground (or, have the decisions already been made?) would help some of us sleep at night. IMO, just sitting back and watching us stru ...

… something like that to happen to MTs (yeah, I know it will never happen, but I can dream can't I)! ...

I've been reading all the posts on here, I have read the emails from Medquist. I don't do this job for fun. I do it to get paid. If I have to spend all my time looking up old reports and trying to figure out what this doctor mumbled or that one said when his head was underwater, my line counts will go down...meaning less pay. And yet if I send blanks to the client that get audited and THEY think I could have found the information, I go back on 100% QA... hence less pay. ...

So, I'm thinking of getting back into MT. Lots of reasons to do so, but its been around 5 years, and I'm worried there are all kinds of meds, equipment, and changes that I'll feel lost and overwhelmed - again. Opinions? ...

Nuance is all about selling their voice wreakognition product. They will never take the blame for any and all of its failures, instead they will shift it to the MLS. They decieve their clients leading them to believe that their software delivers quality at 99% to 100% accuracy. Clients you hear that: All aboard you ship of fools! ...

To get as many new transcription clients as possible, then sell them all on their Fluency One product, thereby doing away with the old fashioned back end transcription altogether. I mean, it really says something when your employer has developed a software program that can eliminate your job. ...

I don't get the scavenger hunt. Are we supposed to name the five places on the fish where the headphones are? ...

Anyone hear anything from HR today? ...

Is anyone else sick of reading the "football" updates? How much time do you think they spend coming up with these motivational emails? Seriously. These things only motivate me to get my minimum lines in as quickly as possible so I can get off the system and away from these emails. Reading their updates is like trying to listen to a football game on the radio. I have to wonder what their ulterior motive is as to why they want the system emptied by 09/30. Are w ...

out of work, out of work, then at end of my shift, hey there's work and I'm expected to do it. don't know how these companies get away with it, I only know if I don't do it, it's only going to hurt my paycheck and not theirs. I'm exhausted. ...

I don't know why I bother but just wondered if anyone is playing Nuance games. Not the everyday games but the MT week games. I have not entered previously since I am too busy with Nuance everyday games meant to defeat US MTs. ...

Hey MTs: So concerned about my job, been a transcriber 30 years and now work is being taken by Epic and Dragon plus an outsource company at my hospital. Should the transcribers be looking for other jobs ? We are not told much from the "higher authorities" of what is going to happen, unless maybe they don't know yet. Any input out there ? ...

I actually played that one. lol ...

As fast as Nuance, M-Modal, and iMedX are buying up companies, someone should create a board game called MTSO Monopoly. They can make little MT figures as game pieces, since we're the pawns in all of this! ...

Patient female with flattened Amy a "Patient came in with anemia." so very close ASR, so very close ...

let's have some fun writing a song! ...

Not only can I not get up to speed flip flopping back and forth between traditional work and VR each and every report, not only did they cut my pay for this not so great new platform, not only can I not change accounts because there is no work on anything but my account, not only has production incentive gotten completely out of my reach, and not only is this year's insurance not actually what I signed up for, but now the latest? Seriously WHAT IS UP? I can&# ...

This is the first time I am transcribing an intubation procedure. The doctor keeps stating that he used an instrument "Glide slope." I can only find a GlideScope. Is he mispronouncing the name of this instrument, or is there a Glide Slope? ...

Just curious how long it took to get your 401K. I'm thinking about quitting, taking the penalty for cashing in the 401K and living on the rest while I look for a new job. Probably not the best strategy, but this FTR thing is really making me crazy. TIA ...

How much notice should I give? ...

I am so serious. Everyone needs to quit transcribing for a while. We need to get this industry back to where we could actually make a decent living. I am making less money now than I did 15 years ago. It is absolutely ridiculous. As long as we keep agreeing to all the junk that these transcription companies keep throwing at us, it will only continue to go downhill. I really think I could make as much money at McDonald's than I am now. Something ...

I am thinking about starting to look around for another job and was wondering if I need to use up my PTO before I quit or will it be paid out? If I have PTO saved up and put in my notice will they find a way not to give it to me? Thanks! ...

Does anyone know about how many people have quit MQ in the past 6 months or so? It seems that things are going from bad to worse recently. ...

I am thinking about quiting my job at the hospital to try and work from home, but after reading some of the postings here i am wondering if that is such a good idea. Is there really a shortage of work out there? Do i dare take the chance? jkl ...

This job has become so impossible to make any money. I am below min wage on SR, and now they are sending off a bunch of our accounts to Global. I technically still have work and have not been laid off. Is TAA possible if the company still has work for us to do? Can part-time workers get this too or only full-timers? Many thanks to anyone who answers this. I did read some of the DOL website but could not find this info. ...

Does anyone know if MQ is good about paying you for accumulated PTO if you quit or do you have to fight them for it? ...

I am about to quit MQ due to a health condition and was unable to find in MQCentral the Resignation policy anywhere. Can someone tell me where I can find it. Thanks ...

Quit watching the game - and DICTATE!!!

Oh, this reminds me - see msg

I think we are typing the same doc - He drives me nuts
