A thought for every MLS stuck at - Nuance the Global Toilet


Posted: Aug 03, 2013

until they (we) can move on to a company, any company, that does not treat us like crap.

I have had 3 different QC auditors go over the same difficult dictators to hit me hard on a post audit - each time it has backfired on them big time.  Not only do I challenge every single FIESA, I have actually copied and sent pages from BOS and my acct specs to prove they are clueless and the "errors" they found were manfactured.   

I think ALL of us at the same time (pick a date convenient) should organize and hit Human Resources, the TSLs, and TSMs hard about proof that WE can hear without relying on editors being paid up ot 40% of their salary in bonuses to ding us into oblivion.  Obviously, these QC people are incapable of being objective.  The Indian auditor proofing my work has made numerous errors in English, as well as medication errors because she was not "familiar" with the medication....How does her ignorance become my mistake resulting in points off for me?   I had the medication correct and that idiot auditor sent the wrong medication through on the report to the hospital.  I raised holy, because she hit me with 3 full points for an error she made.  They are sending out reports with OUR NAMES ON THEM, with errors they are making and signing our MLS IDs to.  This has got to stop.  In July alone, I have had 10 points of "errors" I was dinged for that the auditor made.

These QC auditors are sacrificing patient care and safety for their almighty 40%, but MLS cannot even make minimum wage!!???  What the is wrong with these people??? Yeah - beat the horse that pulls the load.  I would LOVE to have a way to let the public know exactly what this company is doing to well-educated, well-trained, dedicated, hard-working MLS' to give inept, incompentent bonuses to these Indian editors that cannot even do a simple search on the internet to verify a drug (but we are expected to walk on hot coals to deliver a perfect report from an ESL, chewing his lunch, while he's in the bathroom taking a dump with a jack hammer running in the background workign on hospital expansion...and God forbid, we actually misuse a comma....they equate that with ramming a spike through someone's heart).

If there are errors in this text, please excuse them...I am so angry I have blood shooting out of my eyes, obscuring my vision!!!!!  Yell

Which FEDERAL/GOVT in y'alls opinion would be betd - suited to investiagate Nuance abuses?

Lets all file complaints with DOJ and DOL (see link below) - Freebie

May I ask, what exactly are you putting in these complaints? No doubt there's a lot of shenanigans going on, and I'm certain some of it is shady, if not illegal (especially as Nuance is a Government contractor, and as such have to follow federal guidelines about all sorts of things, says so in the handbook). I've been noting down things that don't sit right with me, and I'm wondering how best to lay it out so someone can help. Seems like if we get organized, maybe we can do something about it. I like my accounts and, as we all do, I care about my patients, and want to do the best for them and myself without all this negative baggage that's been laid on us. Any guidance would be great.

DOJ, MM and Nuance In violation of the Clayton Act - see below - Freebie

[ In Reply To ..]
The Clayton Act
This Act is a civil statute (carrying no criminal penalties) that prohibits mergers or acquisitions that are likely to lessen competition. Under this Act, the Government challenges those mergers that are likely to increase prices to consumers. All persons considering a merger or acquisition above a certain size must notify both the Antitrust Division and the Federal Trade Commission. The Act also prohibits other business practices that may harm competition under certain circumstances.

do remember this... - these people got lawyers

[ In Reply To ..]
They are very aware of Clayton and any other statutes that might get in their way. Keep in mind as well, these statues may be on the books but they will only be enforced when the wrong bull gets gored, if you take my meaning.
And do know this, they will be faced with the same - grief we are now going through

BTW - Could be the wrong bull already got gored, if you take my meaning.

Another thought for Nuance t Global Toilet - What do t TSMs &TLs think

[ In Reply To ..]
is going to happen to their jobs? Without the MLS', there is no need for the top heavy TSM management. Since none of them work under the conditions we do, and none of them I know could work under the conditions we do, they're gonna be like sheep being led to the slaughter. Some of them are so critical, condescending and patronizing towards the MLS'. What makes them think they's safe.

Wait and see, you're gonna see their jobs being cut down the road. They have a false sense of security now. They better enjoy it while it lasts, 'cause their gonna crash and burn like the rest of us.

Mine is friendly and actually very cooperative and helpful....BUT..... I get ticked off when she posts about this vacation and that vacation when she has to know the majority of us are not able to afford vacations at all right now. Makes you wonder what the heck they get paid.

That's exactly what happened to me at MM - Freebie

[ In Reply To ..]
I was made a team lead then they made us all MMEs and cut our pay to 3-1/2 cents a line. That's when I quit.

Another MLS stuck - Another fedup oldtimer

I agrees 100%. Something needs to be done. Get rid of QC and QA. They are killing us working people all for the mighty dollar.

Stuck In A Major Rut!!!!

I am making less and less at my at-home transcription job.  I have not been motivated at all lately, and I also never have enough work when I am motivated. I feel completely depressed.  I have rare occasions where I am excited about job searching and entering a new career and/or going to school, but then I seem to lose all hope and motivation.  My paychecks are no longer enough to support me.  I guess I'm just looking to rant to relieve some of my stress and hopefully so ...

I'm feeling stuck and I just need to vent a little bit.  I have been a transcriptionist for 12 years and loved every minute of it until just the last couple of months.  I trained with the Q and really enjoyed that job.  Had a great supervisor and all was good.  I was offered an IC position with our local hospital making 0.16/line, 50 cpl with spaces.  Of course I grabbed that up.  This was 5 years ago.  2 years ago we got a new supervisor who made us all s ...

Wmx - Another Thought On This
Sep 02, 2010

I think this was a very large account and they could have divided the MTs who had this as their primary and put them on various other accounts.  Yes, this would have overstaffed those accounts and more MTs would be getting NJA as we all scrambled for what work there was.  Also, this way WMX would not be putting out unemployement for anyone and soon most of us would not have benefits because we couldn't keep our line counts up with NJA all the time.  All in all, looks like the ...
