Everyone acts like it's all something new not to be provided a computer. As a former recruiter, let me tell you that 98% of equipment sent out was not returned and this very expensive for any company. It's not Nuance's fault XP will no longer be protected. There is no reason to go in debt for a new computer when you can easily buy one for less than 200, and remember it's all tax deductible and they have the loan plan if you meet the qualifications.
Fiesa is to make everybody aware of the mistakes they make. QA/QC are also gone behind, checked, and graded. Some of the errors we see are amazing - I've seen it all, male body parts listed as being in the brain, x-ray of the brain to check for cancer of the leg, you name it. The big ones are wrong medications. Some people try very hard and make an error now and then and we know who is who, some don't even make a reasonable attempt. How would you feel if that were your grandparent, parent, child on the other end of one of these reports? To us it may be pennies per line, but to them it's their life. I see a lot of grumbling, but you're not out there in the world buying clothes, paying for transportation and babysitting, facing bad weather. You're at home, listening to music or whatever, watching over your family and lucky enough to have a job.
