I'm such a fool. If there is ANYTHING you want to
document from your emails, print it out NOW!
I was fired an hour ago and they have locked me out
of looking at my emails! I cant even print a copy
of the contract they made me sign. Protect yourself.

My opinion, having been in the industry for over 30 years and after reading a few posts on this subject below.
For years a good deal of MTSO's including Webmedx had in place bonus or incentive plans based on production ONLY. Such a plan most likely helped Webmedx win "employer of the year" for years. Employees would go the extra mile even working through breaks to achieve higher line counts while at the same time the newer employees could look forward to gaining more experience and e ...

The CEO of the company Gravity, doubled all his lowest paid employees salaries to 70k per year AS WELL AS lowered HIS OWN from ONE million to 70k per year. The company's minimum wage is 70k per year. That guy is my HERO. Can you even imagine?

I have made up my mind that I am getting out of MTing. I am looking into coding through an online program, or getting my bachelors degree (also completely online). I don't know which way would be more profitable/secure in the long run. Coding, or getting my bachelors degree (my interests are computer science, psychology, or health information management, wide variety I know). What do you think? ...
to take a coding course. Now its just deciding where to go. I know a lot of you recommend Andrews School. Has anyone taken the Allied schools course and actually gotten a job? Would you recommend them at all? Thanks. ...
Here is how I think pay should be decided...
1. You are new you get 4 CPL until you prove yourself...quality, production, etc., then in 6 months you are evaluated and a raise could be granted, 3% of course.
2. Everyone should be evaluated on job performance once a year and if you are a good employee a raise should be granted.
3. I believe any employee who has been with the company for 5-10 years and tier 3 you should automatically be paid 6 CPL. Let ...
I have a good job for now but am so fed up with people who can't speak English properly, the stuttering, slurring, mumbling, whispering, and so on, not to mention coroprate bullcrap.
I thought I could hang in there to retire, but I'm finally fed up. Finally figured out something else I can do, a couple things. I won't have one egg dependent on one basket, and will be much happier in the long run. Plus no more office crap, which I despise.
Just ...
I have decided if this plan does turn out bad I will just sit back and work as usual. I make close to minimum wage now as it is. If I end up making only MW it wont make much of a difference. With that being said, I'll just work everyday and not push my self super hard to meet line requirements (it seems they are getting rid of them) and I wont work my tail off trying to meet all these requirements. I will work and do the best I can without stressing out all the while keeping my eyes op ...
I'd like to go into coding, and I think I'd be really good at it too, but medical scribe looks like the direction to go that would require the least amount of training. I think as soon as the summer is over and I've taken my vacation and used up some PTO, I will apply for that. Wish me luck. ...
This was not an easy decision. I will be able to devote every day after Jan. 1st to find a job. At this point, all I have to do is find something that pays minimum wage, isn't that sad! But, something with a future and a company that gives raises, no matter how small and good insurance and time off. This company will lose a very good MT who has had it. I have tried to communicate on these boards my support of MModal. It gave me hope. I have none now ...
Really, with this time of VR, who can actually be accountable for the errors in reports? My VR is HORRID. It will completely change the name of medications that the dictator dictates and on and on. So, when a medical error is made, based on a report where the MT didn't catch a mistake on VR, how can they hold the MT solely responsible? I mean, we didn't TYPE that error, we just missed a word while proofreading. I wonder why they would allow something with ...
I found several MT companies. When I clicked on "Heartland Info Services" - guess who popped up? NUANCE. WTH? Uh, no thanks. Trying to leave this place. Pretty shaddy of them to use a different name. ...
to give a little raise to anyone with CMT credentials. Can anyone tell me if they have passed this test as a tier 2 (with little to no experience with operative reports). I have about 10 years' experience but haven't done OPs. Thanks in Advance! ...
of no work, unable to find a new MT job, or simply sick and tired of it? What did you decide to do? I feel like I'm a bit too old to return to school (not to mention I couldn't afford to do it anyway)......... I'm afraid eventually (prob sooner rather than later) there will be no need for MTs anymore, either because they off-shored it all or hospitals go with systems like EPIC. Does anyone have any advice for an ex MT on what type of job they could quality ...
I believe M Modal is the only place hiring part time that will allow satellite. I'm tired of hearing, "No, satellite is not compatible." Sooo....
Anyone have any advice? I will probably take the testing this weekend while I'm off.
One good thing about M Modal is I don't think there is any worry of them being bought out by anyone... ...
Has anyone ever gone to work for one of the major transcription companies but then decided they did not want the job. More along the lines of doing the new hire and they realizing this is not a company you want to work for? ...
Just curious. I'm going to be working tonight when jobs will be few and far between. When there are 2 or more people working, how does the system decide who gets the next job? ...
I have limited experience with SR.. did it for a while about 4 years ago. Couldn't make any money on it though. I'm hoping this program is a lot better than the one I used back then and will actually LEARN. Can people make money doing SR now?? Sadly, though, I think this is the future of transcription. ...
This is a part-time 4 hour position, been at it for a month, and cannot get above 600 lines. I am editing on the Ex-Editor platform and I love it. Care to share any pointers, or things I can do to be more productive. I am definitely not using the mouse but still cannot get above 600 lines in 4 hours. I do have a full-time straight transcription position, and thought I would gradually ease into VR to build speed for what I will probably inevitably be doing. ...
I began to realize that my victim mindset was the reason I was being treated so badly professionally and socially. Even when I had a good job and good friends, I ended up sabotaging them.
After wising up a little bit in the School of Hard Knocks, I decided to try something different. I was going to work on my relationships both professionally and personally to see if I could get better results and resist the opportunity to strike back, quit my job, tell people off, and otherwise behave li ...
My company has always invited us to create and store template dictations for common use by everyone. I've made many and been happy to share, and since they're good quality they're used by many, even some dictators to set up their own formal templates. It's always pleased me to be a team player, but, let's face it, this is only one more thing that allows my company to hire less skilled people and lower the line rates it pays me.
Just BTW, I figure it costs me proba ...
anymore. What a morale killer, and they just tick me off. I already know the shortcuts, but if I find it faster or less painful to mouse occasionally, then that's what I'm going to do. As long as I'm meeting my quota, then please back off. Jeez, I've never felt more smothered or stalked by a company. ...
Found this in the Letters to Editor in AdvanceWeb.com. :
I feel compelled to voice my thoughts on the topic of credentialed MTs; the reason being I work with a fantastic group of MTs under my management.
We work at a community hospital in a centralized setting; all departments dictate their patient records and we transcribe them. They are highly skilled, productive and accurate and simply the best staff to manage.
Here are my thoughts.
* Are Credentialed MTs better? If t ...
Good Morning MQ-ville.
I was reading a posting below, started yesterday "Whadayaknow" and there were a couple of responses to the posting that I think are worth you reading.
We should all be much more PROACTIVE in the auditing process and ask questions or if we disagree, tell them we do! We should also not take BS sitting down! I agree that too many of us have just accepted being fed crap because we've begun to feel "beaten down".
I also am 'MAD AS HELL AND NOT GOING TO ...
