A community of 30,000 US Transcriptionist serving Medical Transcription Industry
The hopeful folks....did you forget we have not even started with the new guidelines by which our work will be audited at a yet unspecified date? You may be feeling all warm and comfy right now with your 99.9% to 100% reviews. I would not be counting on that. I've had plenty of those, too, and regularly achieved the quarterly bonus up until recently.
So, I work 25 hours, and they audited 1 report only with 1 error and I am at a tad over 98%. Meanwhile, I pended 4 jobs and that put me over 10% limit...4 jobs of mushmouth ESLs. I do not guess at what they are saying. I leave blanks. Why is that my fault and why am I penalized? Meanwhile, my pended jobs are all 100%.
Also, do not forget all those with straight transcription, you will soon be on mostly crappy VR that does not learn and getting paid for half your work. Then, there will be less and less work, so that you are getting the bottom of the barrel ESL dictators. Then you will routinely run out of work. No chance of ever being high producer then. You will be paid 7 cents a line and need MUP. Do not be lulled into a false sense of security.
I believe it is fine to reward high producers, sure...why not? But penalizing the rest of us is not fair at all. Making us lose money. Very bad. Not that anything businesses do is fair. It is all about their bottom lines.
If I was not a few months from retirement, I would be looking for another job. Seriously.
p.s. I can understand trying to make the best of it to keep one's sanity, truly I understand.
