though it was purely coincidental. My ship came in and I am getting out of MT for good. BTW, if you want a fresh idea on how to describe our MT job experience on a non-MT resume let me know. I had a few bites and obviously one good one with it. I felt a brief bolt of lightning that helped compose this one night (or maybe it was the wine LOL).
Last day - Congrats! - Yes please!!!

Been doing this 20 years and I don't know how to revamp a completely MT resume.
I'm out... - mtshizzle

My confidence was destroyed, I was treated like slave labor, and felt harassed by my supervisor long enough (finally). I don't know why I let them make me feel like I didn't know what I was doing. I'm a good MT and when I figured that out, I threw in the towel, said I'm done and quit. Was told I'm not eligible for rehire. My feelings are not hurt, trust me! I don't want to work for $7/hr anymore.
Not yet but soon--sm - anon

I am looking at either the first of March or first of April and then I am leaving the industry all together.
The problem with things like this is too many people jump ship once the thing is announced and if they want to continue in the MT world, the other big companies would be inundated with resumes. Those who started the process earlier are probably in the best position, or those who work 2 MT jobs and can just go from part time to full time at the job they already have secured.
and everybody sending resumes to the few remaining companies that are left, this is going to cause a big glut of hungry MTs looking for jobs, so guess what? The MTSOs are going to start lowering their line rates, upping their requirements for equipment, internet, etc., and the MTs are going to be the ones losing even more in the end. Then with shipping the remaining work to India and the EHR, it is DEFINITELY time to get out of MT! The ones who can't see this and are hangi ...
Are there any good IC positions that use Editscript? I have 5 years experience on this platform. I have a ton of heme onc experience as well. I can get on my BF's insurance, so I don't see why I shouldn't go to contracting and be done with this pay system... ...
We need to take massive action to change this industry. Are we going to continue to take the lies from the thieving MTSOs?
A lawsuit here, a lawsuit there, that is helpful for the few involved, but as a group we have to make change happen now.
Fear is keeping us here, and that is what they want. They steal our pay, they disrespect us, while they get rich. That's not right in my world. I deserve to have work when I log in. I deserve to be paid a ...
I am medical transcriptionist contemplating jumping over to coding, is this an easy transition? Has anybody else done this? Any information/stories would be helpful as I contemplate this decision. TIA!! ...
into the fire. From what I read here on the boards, most of the companies have something awful about them (or multiple things), so even though this company sounds a lot better (and it is also in Maine), I am at the same time excited as well as scared. When I hired on to Synernet I was ecstatic. The pay was low, but the benefits were great and it sounded like the people cared, plus "no VR in sight." Fast forward ....... VR, bad communication, soul-sucking notes from QA and management, paychec ...
if you have to pay for it yourself? I am really unhappy there, but I hate to incur another big expense around Christmas time if I do not have to do so.
TIA. ...
A couple of months back I posted my opinion about how things started going south for MTs when we no longer worked directly for the hospitals. I decided to put my paycheck where my mouth is and started looking. Lo and behold, practically in my own backyard I found a large hospital group who had been outsourcing everything, but then took it back in house because of poor quality and TAT. My new job starts in a few weeks. Great benefits, more leave time than I curre ...
I haven't edited on DQS in a while. I can't seem to find the answer to this in the manual. If the cursor is at the beginning of a paragraph and the yellow voice box is in the middle and that is where I want the cursor to be how do I "jump" to that point in the text? Thanks! ...
I was just curious about what employees thought of Nuance on Glassdoor. You read several US employee opinions and they reflect the morale listed on MTStars. Scroll further down and read the opinions of the transcriptionists from India. What a difference. They are highly satisfied with their jobs and most have been working with Nuance for 6 to 7 years. The US transcriptionists are very sad!! What a difference..... ...
sort of things you're getting QA'd for, to compare notes. For instance, I'm new to VS, and I tend to leave in double words. I think what's happening is that I hear it, so my mind just blocks out the extra one and I don't see it. I spend a lot of energy trying to out-guess the QA, but no matter what I put in certain instances, I'm marked off. If I put "The patient," then she fills in the name. If I put the name, then she puts "The patien ...
I'd like to know how you are all dealing with it. Do you sit and wait on work during your scheduled shifts without getting paid? Have any of you filed for unemployment due to lack of work? I wonder how people manage to pay for insurance, etc. Have any of you quit your jobs and received unemployment? How do you all manage? TIA for any information you are willing to share. ...
Someone jumps on this board, fires it all up by saying to use F11 for every ASR job, and then calls their CCM to say "read the MTstars board" and then they go check who is doing it and fires them, all the while the pot-stirrer looks all cutsie in the CCMs eyes and more work opens up for the pot-stirrer?Maybe it is my wild imagination, but it seems like all that "stop typing for a day" and if that does not work, then "stop typing for 2 days," and "use F11 for all ASR jobs," all feels so not ...
How is your workload going? I know there are a lot of acute care people who run out of work a lot, or get thrown in the cesspool, but what about the radiology side? Does that run out all the time too? I was there for Rad and was considering going back because I need a job. I know the pay is not what I made there before. ...
Anybody on here former employees of MDI-MD who stayed with Transcend? I have applied and am trying to find my former supervisor's email. She was MDI-MD and as far as I know, stayed with Transcend. Her initials are MM. Please email me if you have her contact info. I cannot find her email anywhere and would love to work under her again if she is still there. Thanks! ...
In case you weren't there at the beginning of Monday's conference call, MQ bought out M-Modal and changed their name. SO, if you choose to do this, you would be working for MQ. Been there, done that.....aaack. ...
As I am getting no work during the day shift anymore, I have the chance to go third shift Sun-Thursday (11-7), either that or find a new job (yeh right), or do ASR (done it at this company, no thanks to returning there). I have never worked that one before. How/when do you sleep? Any other pros/cons about this shift? Thaniks your your advice. ...
Could someone explain exactly what a company can require of an SE? Can companies force MTs to adhere to a schedule if all MTs are statutory employees? All the research I have done on this subject is vague, but it appears that SE and IC are almost the same with the exception of Social Security and Medicare being withheld and the employer's portion being paid for an SE. ...
I'm considering applying with DSG for a statutory positon. Does anyone know what they're like to work for? I'm wondering about rate of pay, availability of work, percentage of ESL, etc. Thanks. ...
curious if you are still working your regular accounts? Is everything they promised actually working out?
I ask because I am now working on a Spheris account when I run out of work on my 5 other "primaries";) ...
