I didn't get my W2 yet, but this letter was a little confusing at first. Thought I was terminated.

I have a question, what is the letter you are talking about? I did not receive one. I am also pretty irritated about not getting any feedback, response to emails about changing time worked and not being off QA or getting any review at all. Is this normal for them? I am about to say forget it and stick with my day job that has taken off since I got this 2nd job!

A few weeks ago, for no reason that I can find, I cannot get the first letter of a sentence to be in all caps automatically, (unless I do it manually.) The same for the letter " I " by itself when typed. It was always automatic and now all of a sudden it is doing this and I cannot figure out how to change it back. Has anybody else had this problem, if so, how did you fix it?
Thanks, appreciate the help ...

Hi. I am in my third week of employment as a coder! Yay! I am learning a lot, still going to school FT, and commuting 1 hour each way to work. I am the "low man on the totum pole." We are starting to train for Epic which is supposed to be going live in a few months. Has Epic affected the work load in that there is a reduction of coders/transcriptions where you work? Just wondering. I do other clerical duties such as pulling charts, abstracting, and ...
Saince Transcription no longer has a QA Staff. They let them all go about a month ago. The MTs have been divided into teams with a team leader who is doing all the QA for the team. This poor team leader is really doing the QA for nothing, they get an extra 10% on their cpl rate to offset doing the QA, but sounds like that could really cut down your production. The hospitals they type for don't even know it has happened which sounds illegal or at the very least unscrupulous. They signed ...

Could this be the final nail in the coffin?
Sounds like they're using the US business "model" for how to treat your employees like slaves and keep a track on them every minute - but they get to do their "household activity" so everything's A-okay!!!

I am seeing LOTS of new names in QA and also a new STM. My question is this - why are these openings not posted so that all can have equal opportunity for compete for one of these positions? Is this even legal? I know it is not ethical, but not sure about the legality. ...

Looking at their ad on MT Daily. Any information would be helpful. Are there any benefits for FT or is it IC's only? The ad says IC. If they have FT/employee, do they offer insurance? I see it is mostly editing. Do they frown upon using the mouse to move around in the text? Do they count off for errors? Just routine information would be helpful. ...
Anyone else wondering why Alpha, which is now apparently owned by Indians, working on USA government contracts (Numerous VA Hospitals across the country)?
...
An acquaintance of mine got this message from Alpha (now owned by ImedX). There has been a lack of work since ImedX took over countless VA hospitals that used to be handled by Alpha. In short, U.S. Government is now paying a foreign company, using taxpayer money, while causing unemployment for Americans, and the so called Americans working for Alpha/ImedX are assisting them.
As you know, the workload for the accounts in which you are providing services has been low over the past several month ...
