no but if there was a mass exodus yesterday then something had to be done - OP

Not everybody comes to this board so we can't gauge the reaction of all MModal MT's.
I wish we had that much power - but doubt it

Amy and Vern were studying their contract and stayed just long enough to collect any bonus due them. Now they are off to ruin yet another company. Or take a long vacation because you know how hard they worked (total sarcasm). I am sure that what was said on this board had nothing to do with them leaving. It was all about the exit bonus.
How will the Happy MM MTs spin this in a - positive light?

Positive changes are coming? Better email? Raises? So happy to have a job? Tickled at the news?
Maybe they will do away with the 99.6 in light of outrage - OP

That's what I was thinking, maybe that's why the left and that's my original point of this post. Maybe they were ousted because of the way the company was going due to stringent policies and company morale.
they got out while the getting was good - nothing to do with our complaints

Seriously. They have their history laid out in black and white. They have done this before. They got in, made bank, and got out. Had nothing to do with us. Amy's position was created by vern to give her a healthy paycheck. Not to help us.
i honestly thought it was going down when they changed the name - so maybe this is a good thing

My first thought when "The Man" stepped down was wondering if Nuance and MModal were going to merge. With all of his talk about Coke versus Pepsi I think he would be embarrassed to stay if a merger happened. It will be interesting to see what happens next. I'm remaining cautiously optimistic. The only way out is UP!
cautiously optimistic also. - hoping this is a change for the better!
of no work, unable to find a new MT job, or simply sick and tired of it? What did you decide to do? I feel like I'm a bit too old to return to school (not to mention I couldn't afford to do it anyway)......... I'm afraid eventually (prob sooner rather than later) there will be no need for MTs anymore, either because they off-shored it all or hospitals go with systems like EPIC. Does anyone have any advice for an ex MT on what type of job they could quality ...
to give a little raise to anyone with CMT credentials. Can anyone tell me if they have passed this test as a tier 2 (with little to no experience with operative reports). I have about 10 years' experience but haven't done OPs. Thanks in Advance! ...
Enough with the emails. I wake up to 10+ emails every day and then get numerous more throughout the day. Raise your accuracy, raise your line counts, lower your MUP, you were 1 hour short of 40 hours, DON'T LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN! Sorry, I'm not sending your contested error through, it stands! Ohh and then the phone calls... blah blah blahhhhhhhhh OMG! I just want to work. Why won't you leave me alone?! ...
I was "terminated" after within 1 week of my company-approved (FMLA) leave of absence. The excuse they used was that my company "could not accommodate" a leave of absence for the extended period of time that I would be out of work. I needed the extended leave of absence because I had CMC arthroplasty with pin placement. My surgeon gave me a written note that stated I would be in a hand cast for 6 weeks followed by 6 weeks of physical therapy, and he would not ...
I am so tired of this line of work, but right now it is all I've got. I quit MQ, who bought out Spheris, because of all the MANDATORY OT, hostile emails, etc, and now I am working for Transcend, who is being bought out by Nuance. God only knows what I'm in for now. I can't make the line count half the time because for some reason the counts are really whacky. I have to work twice as hard to make what I made at Spheris and I have the supervisor breathi ...
I'm just talking about employees here, not ICs. It amazes me that as a company employee, we would not be provided the most important tool we need to work with all set up to company specs, loaded with company s/w. If we worked on site, would we be expected to bring in our own computers? I don't think so.
Thanks. ...
I have made up my mind that I am getting out of MTing. I am looking into coding through an online program, or getting my bachelors degree (also completely online). I don't know which way would be more profitable/secure in the long run. Coding, or getting my bachelors degree (my interests are computer science, psychology, or health information management, wide variety I know). What do you think? ...
to take a coding course. Now its just deciding where to go. I know a lot of you recommend Andrews School. Has anyone taken the Allied schools course and actually gotten a job? Would you recommend them at all? Thanks. ...
Here is how I think pay should be decided...
1. You are new you get 4 CPL until you prove yourself...quality, production, etc., then in 6 months you are evaluated and a raise could be granted, 3% of course.
2. Everyone should be evaluated on job performance once a year and if you are a good employee a raise should be granted.
3. I believe any employee who has been with the company for 5-10 years and tier 3 you should automatically be paid 6 CPL. Let ...
I have a good job for now but am so fed up with people who can't speak English properly, the stuttering, slurring, mumbling, whispering, and so on, not to mention coroprate bullcrap.
I thought I could hang in there to retire, but I'm finally fed up. Finally figured out something else I can do, a couple things. I won't have one egg dependent on one basket, and will be much happier in the long run. Plus no more office crap, which I despise.
Just ...
I have decided if this plan does turn out bad I will just sit back and work as usual. I make close to minimum wage now as it is. If I end up making only MW it wont make much of a difference. With that being said, I'll just work everyday and not push my self super hard to meet line requirements (it seems they are getting rid of them) and I wont work my tail off trying to meet all these requirements. I will work and do the best I can without stressing out all the while keeping my eyes op ...
I'd like to go into coding, and I think I'd be really good at it too, but medical scribe looks like the direction to go that would require the least amount of training. I think as soon as the summer is over and I've taken my vacation and used up some PTO, I will apply for that. Wish me luck. ...
This was not an easy decision. I will be able to devote every day after Jan. 1st to find a job. At this point, all I have to do is find something that pays minimum wage, isn't that sad! But, something with a future and a company that gives raises, no matter how small and good insurance and time off. This company will lose a very good MT who has had it. I have tried to communicate on these boards my support of MModal. It gave me hope. I have none now ...
Really, with this time of VR, who can actually be accountable for the errors in reports? My VR is HORRID. It will completely change the name of medications that the dictator dictates and on and on. So, when a medical error is made, based on a report where the MT didn't catch a mistake on VR, how can they hold the MT solely responsible? I mean, we didn't TYPE that error, we just missed a word while proofreading. I wonder why they would allow something with ...
I found several MT companies. When I clicked on "Heartland Info Services" - guess who popped up? NUANCE. WTH? Uh, no thanks. Trying to leave this place. Pretty shaddy of them to use a different name. ...
I believe M Modal is the only place hiring part time that will allow satellite. I'm tired of hearing, "No, satellite is not compatible." Sooo....
Anyone have any advice? I will probably take the testing this weekend while I'm off.
One good thing about M Modal is I don't think there is any worry of them being bought out by anyone... ...
Has anyone ever gone to work for one of the major transcription companies but then decided they did not want the job. More along the lines of doing the new hire and they realizing this is not a company you want to work for? ...
Just curious. I'm going to be working tonight when jobs will be few and far between. When there are 2 or more people working, how does the system decide who gets the next job? ...
I have limited experience with SR.. did it for a while about 4 years ago. Couldn't make any money on it though. I'm hoping this program is a lot better than the one I used back then and will actually LEARN. Can people make money doing SR now?? Sadly, though, I think this is the future of transcription. ...
This is a part-time 4 hour position, been at it for a month, and cannot get above 600 lines. I am editing on the Ex-Editor platform and I love it. Care to share any pointers, or things I can do to be more productive. I am definitely not using the mouse but still cannot get above 600 lines in 4 hours. I do have a full-time straight transcription position, and thought I would gradually ease into VR to build speed for what I will probably inevitably be doing. ...
I began to realize that my victim mindset was the reason I was being treated so badly professionally and socially. Even when I had a good job and good friends, I ended up sabotaging them.
After wising up a little bit in the School of Hard Knocks, I decided to try something different. I was going to work on my relationships both professionally and personally to see if I could get better results and resist the opportunity to strike back, quit my job, tell people off, and otherwise behave li ...
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 ...
anymore. What a morale killer, and they just tick me off. I already know the shortcuts, but if I find it faster or less painful to mouse occasionally, then that's what I'm going to do. As long as I'm meeting my quota, then please back off. Jeez, I've never felt more smothered or stalked by a company. ...
