SA3 merger problems - Ellie

Posted: Feb 01, 2010

Anyone else in SA3 having problems with this merger? My first job after we switched to the combined South area with a new log in # came up completed by someone else. Called my manager and she said her phone is riinging off the hook with people telling her the same thing. She does not know what the problem is, has to investigate. My CCM is great, I know she will inform us as soon as she knows, but in the meantime if these jobs keep coming up completed and all I do is upload them then I don't get any credit for it, correct? This is going to be a long day.

I'm not having completed jobs come up, but - SA3

ever since the merger, I run out of work on a daily basis. Before the merge, I never had NJA.

I know where you're coming from - sm

My north area had the merger last month and the NJAs are very routine now, I'd say on a daily basis. Prior to the merger, we had lots of weekend/OT work. Now I'm lucky to get in half my scheduled hours in a day. Work is low all the time.

We were told the merger wouldn't affect our work, it was just a way to condense areas. They also said we still kept our same accounts and no additional MTs were being put on them from the other merging area. However, I think it's more than a coincidence that the work has disappeared since this merger.

I agree. - SA3

I also have not seen my primary account in well over a week now. I keep getting "backup" accounts that have terrible sound quality and terrible dictators.

Already this morning, the work is coming in very slow. I'll be working on 1 report and will be almost finished with it before another report pops in behind it. I know it's only a matter of time before I get NJA today.

I think that once a job is uploaded the MT gets paid for it. Therefore, I believe that if both MTs uploaded the job, they would both be paid for the same job. The only way they would not be paid is if the job was broken and not uploaded. This would leave MQ with a big problem. Check and see if you got paid for that job you

I'd keep uploading and checking DQM - sm

to see if any of the reports are going under your stats. If you're being credited lines for them, then I'd just quickly proof and upload them. Good luck.

I came in with the merger of MDI a year+ ago. I almost got an ulcer reading some of these posts, seriously. While you must consider what you see here, especially when there is an abundance of similar opinions, be aware, a small percentage of the company's MTs post here. I will offer my advice. Treat it like a death of a spouse. Mourn your loss and look towards the future. Don't make any big changes for 1 year, or at minimum 4-6 months. Go with ...

I guess this is just a question to those who have been part of a Nuance merger in the past. Were you able to keep the schedule you were working before the merger, or were you herded into the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd shift spots? I work split shift over two of them right now. Anyone allowed to keep working M-F after a merger? I suppose I'm mainly wondering if I can continue to pick my own random schedule after the Trasncend merger is complete. ...

My company "merged" with Imedx several months ago. Here is my question to those who have had their company merge with Imedx: What happens if/when your account goes to India? Does the account slowly phase out or is it just one day gone? Can I expect honesty about what is going on or will the higher ups just act like they are oblivious and they have no idea why that account suddenly dried up? ...

Well I was in the West regeon. The big "merger" of accounts took place on Monday the 18th. Well...by Wednesday I started to get the "no jobs allocated" message. I am really hoping this is not going to be a trend. All of the work must have seriously gone offshore...if not, where is it? This doesn't look good... ...

So now Medquist and M*Modal are merging. Wonder what this is going to mean for all of us working for companies that utilize M*Modal. Now I understand why WMX sold out to Nuance. Seems to me no one wants to hire Medquist because of their terrible quality so now they are swallowing up competitors platforms and bullying their way into accounts. They have already stopped allowing other companies to use their DocQScribe platform. Interested to know anyone else's thoughts. ...

I am afraid all accounts will have to use voice recognition because that is the way things are changing. No more straight typing. We will not be MT's, but editors. http://community.advanceweb.com/blogs/hi_18/archive/2011/07/14/change-ahead-for-m-modal-and-medquist.aspx http://www.tennessean.com/article/20110712/BUSINESS05/307120031/MedQuist-buys-speech-recognition-company l ...

Can anyone currently working in QA at Nuance comment on how the position is compensated. Do you get an hourly wage like we currently do at Transcend or can we expect to be switched to production based. Do you even have QA staff? The company I came from previously (Medquist) practically did away with their QA staff, making them MTs/QA. Just wondering what I can expect. Thanks for your opinions. ...

I am very concerned about this merger (EMTS emloyee). Since it occurred, our work load has been very low so, of course, I am wondering if iMedX employees are getting some of our work? Extremely worried. Anyone else having the same issue? ...

Does anybody out there have any idea how many Transcenders quit after the merger? I know this would be an estimate, of course. I just participated in a mandatory conference call and it's the first time I actually heard a higher-up (regional supervisor) admit that people had been quitting. I figured that was the case because of the increased TAT situations lately (especially on the weekends) so I wasn't surprised in the leas ...

Mar 05, 2014

I just realized something that hit me in the gut. I so want to believe T in the conference call that nothing is going to change, 2 companies with mutual interest, blah, blah, blah. She sounded so honest and confident in what she was saying. Today I realized the FAQ sheet she provided on IMedX was very misleading. She stated they are headquartered in Atlanta with 2 additional offices in Connecticut and Ohio. She didn't mention (intentionally I can only imagine) ...

An MT (or supervisor) was kind enough several days ago to come on this website and share the inside info she had about events occurring in the near future such as accounts, some of which I believe are accounts that support my family, going offshore. I appreciate that MT very much stepping forward. I and others have since asked some questions which have not been answered, maybe because the thread was several days old when the questions were asked or perhaps that MT hasn't come ba ...

I'm utterly confused regarding this latest merger/acquisition/whatev of MQ of M*Modal. I just accepted a position with an MTSO working on the M*Model platform. Does the fact that the Q purchased M*Modal mean that down the road I will be working for MQ? Does this mean that MQ just owns the rights to M*Model and now has the ability to charge the MTSOs obscene amounts of money to continue to use the platform? Does this affect our positions as MTs who do work on M*Model ...

Here it is - chosen wording - ambiguous production pay and benefit plans "will be reviewed." I, as may other Transcend employees - have a current line compensation rate of 9.5 cents per line on straight transcription; some much higher - having been hired with heavy - over 80% ESL. Nuance MTs - what do you think the chances are we will "retain" our current line rates - WITHOUT Escription. All responses warmly welcomed. From Letter to Employees - last week A ...

I had an administrative role at my company before it was taken over by a big player. The following things happened. 1. The supervisors at my company were demoted to MTs unless they had a college degree and were willing to travel extensively. 2. The QA staff were kept but their pay changed from hourly to production with strict quotas. Almost immediately they had to QA terrible work from other countries. Every one of them quit before long because they made about half of what they previously made ...

Has anyone else in the south region been switched to an account since their work went to India, and they just cannot handle it? I have been doing transcription for over 30 years, but this cesspool account they have just placed me on with no say is beyond belief. Any suggestions on how to get off this account and placed somewhere else. I have tried talking/e-mailing my old supervisor, new supervisor, and supervisor above them to no available.
