the system for years, having a US store front but huge Indian companies and Indian employees, I don't see how this would change anything. We're not trading with Indians, we are owned by them, but playing off the company as a US company with a store front.

Does make you wonder why they havent hired anyone - x

I think they are more waiting on the mandatory - min wage

So they can pick and choose which states to hire from..I see ads all the time, not hiring from California...

I do want this job. It is not what I want it to be.. - noneya

but, I am truly glad to do what I do. The pay stinks, hours suck...Still, I do WANT THIS JOB.

Agree MOT is the new normal - high turnover

Our POD has been on OT since October. We were told 2 people got hired this month, former employees. We are still on MOT. So that tells me a few things:

1. Employees are quitting faster than the company is hiring.
2. There are no good candidates left so they must resort to calling back employees who quit in the first place.
3. MOT is here to stay.

They will use this trade deal to push clients towards ILP - currently my accounts refuse

to have their work sent overseas. This may change things.

the trade deal, really has nothing to do with it - sm

Obamacare started the mess and the raising of the corporate tax rate. The companies have already moved overseas, makes more economic sense. When Burger King leaves the country, there is a problem.. Doctors are cutting money every way they can. Transcription used to be a luxury, its not economically feasible anymore. Watch the docs offices, the nurse is entering the reports..Hospitals are going to scribes, cheaper than paying the big bucks to the transcription companies, who in turn, pay us crap..They are making as much money as they can, while they can..We all know it is a dieing field..

I worked for MQ many, many years ago when they bought the company I was working for. From reading this board, it appears some things never change and only get worse. I remember having to switch from one account to the other constantly and trying to keep track of client profiles. Glad I am out of there!! ...

I know this b/c I specifically could not find a doctors name in the database for one particular job and I blanked it, wrote it down so I would remember the job number and what I blanked and when my corrections came through today, that name was filled in as if I put it there, there was no blank no more with a correction that I put in the incorrect name. I know that I blanked it. This is rediculous!!! I can't wait to find another job! ...

I have recently been switched to almost all back end speech, no problem, but when did the rules change? I was taught milligrams not mg, milliliter not mL, gravida II/para II not gravida 2, para 2. It seems with the advent of back end speech, the rules are being relaxed. Will JCACHO accept this? Isn't it our reputation at stake? ...

I noticed things starting to change at WMX when they bought that transcription company..what was it about 1 year or 2 ago. As changes were constantly being made, even our managers werent as nice as they used to be. I started there more than 7 years ago and it was great back then, but then after about 5 years, things started happening and none of the changes benefitted the MTs. ...

Gets so frustrating every day to constantly get the bad dictators over and over. Hundreds of different dictators on this account, yet I get same bad dictators, 3-4 reports at least in a row of each bad dictator lined up, and they aren't due back for quite some time, compared to the many other better dictators that were dictated long before the ones I am getting. And they wonder why no one wants to work OT...what's the point. If things aren't fair during my shift ...

This morning, from this very forum, I learned the term "exenteration" and added it to my glossary... and used it for the first time in a report, to-day. Buried in some ADT this morning I just happened to notice the name of a *fantastic* dictator I knew from 3 years ago at a completely different MTSO. Maybe I'll get some of her reports again... I googled a phrase and the only reference was to an article the dictator himself wrote. Easy A. So, I hope I haven't reached my aweso ...

I recently lost my MT job with a pretty decent company. It was due to lack of work. I know this is happening a lot these days, and I've been reading a lot of the posts here.

Have ya ever wondered, WHY is it that we get "audited" when we are having really, really bad work days? Why does the "computer randomly chose" (ha!) the most difficult, awful report to review? My latest audit was on a dictator I had NEVER EVER DONE before, on a brand spanking new account, was 1098 minutes and ASR and ESL! I got an 84%. (Hey! as far as I'm concerned that should have been an A+++!! Least I gave them something that looked like a report.) I a ...

First off, I am truly disgusted with our government for allowing offshoring to such a degree that it has taken most of our jobs away. We have written and complained to no avail. We do need to do some things on our own too. I recently went shopping for my son's school supplies. I read the labels to make sure things were made in America. Ink pens: The only ink pens I found made in America were Pilot pens, BIC were made in China. I bought the Pilot pe ...

You're sitting here with a job waiting for you in your queue and you don't even CARE because you decide to watch a training/motivational video on changing careers to help you get the H311 out of this god-forsaken field. As God as my witness, I WILL be out of this company by year's end. I'd rather empty trash cans in the ladies' room than do this for even one more day and I've worked for this company for 16 years.

...the business model works well for them. They made their money off you before you even signed on. They made it 1) when they landed your previous facility's contract and 2) when you were gullible enough to sign on to help voice wreck unemploy yourselves. If they wanted you to stick around you'd be so overworked you could not stand it. Nothing new about any of this stuff except this appears to be the latest set of Nuance casualties. In another month there will be another new set when t ...

Anyone care to shed some light on how things are at Transolutions these days? Is there plenty of work? Thinking about this company and would love to hear current input from employees. I have read the archives and saw that QA can be tough and M-Modal isn't the greatest software. I am working on M-Modal where I am now and it's not my favorite, but Transolutions at least pays more and I am hoping that they have more work than where I am now. ...
