"All the good work goes overseas to India where the owner is from. Basically, their little office in Massacheusetts is just a storefront and the American MTs they hire are window dressing." ...

I don't remember that yet when I post lately it goes all the way to the bottom rather than immediately after the original post. Perhaps I just never noticed it before. Oh well... ...

Sometimes I'm not sure what to do when they say "post" ... something. I know if it is postauricular (for example), it is attached ... but how about post aneurysmal surgery? It does not seem like it would be attached. - Is it proper to leave it stand-alone or should I change it to status post ... or actually attach it? Thanks in advance!! ...

I think it is very interesting how a company will make you jump through hoops to "prove" you are an independent contractor but still want you to use an employee based punch in/out system. You don't get it both ways, if I am an independent contractor, then I don't have to use your employee based punch system, especially when you want to charge for it but to keep track of my own hours is free. ...

ASR put "1,000,000 cm" instead of mobility. What? Why? ...

I copied this from another site (sorry not supposed to put names on here): "(Transcription company name) is looking for MTs with minimum one year's experience for its Delhi office. Mail CV at (their e-mail address here). No, we do not outsource!" What the h***fire does that mean? We do not outsource? oh you mean to AMERICA where you got the work from? sad, very very sad. ...

I saw an ad for radiology. It states no experience necessary. Paid training is available. Typing skills are a plus but not required. Earn up to $30,000 part time adn $55,000 full time. How can someone post an ad like this. Obviously it is an ad to train for medical transcription. I hope that no one falls for this. ...

NJA yesterday for a significant amount of time. Today, I log on...NJA. Fifteen minutes later, they begin trickling in...jobs dictated YESTERDAY!!! How is that even possible?? omg. I thought there were NJA available yesterday!!! ...

Been reading the business perspective of what will happen when (not if - when) minimum wage is increased, and 99% of companies who employ low income workers say that will be the day they lay off most of their employees, or have to close their doors altogether. Not that I expect MModal to ever "close their doors", but that does leave open the other alternative for a huge layoff as the need to "supplement" employees who aren't earning minimum wage, or who don't meet their ridiculou ...

Ran across this bit of information while looking for something else. (Isn't that how it always happens?) I don't know if it's been posted before, but even if it has, it's worth posting again. http://www.mtexchange.com/medical-transcription-exchange/who-owns-mtstars-com/ ...

...that on the weekend before a big meeting with the client, there's an OOW situation on both Saturday and Sunday when on previous weekends the TSMs were begging us to work extra since MTs are either quitting or there's not enough coverage in the first place. So now we're being told to make up our missed weekend hours during the week, when it's obvious that the work was outsourced to cover the higher-ups' butts! Why are WE expected to be inconvenienced due to their lac ...

Just for the heck of it, I went to the resume section of this board, and noticed there were quite a few MTs with "entry-level or less than 5 year's experience" wanting to be compensated 10-15 cpl -- I really seriously doubt that is going to happen, especially for a "newer" MT. I would suggest that if you are really serious about finding a job in MT, then revise your expected compensation rate to something a bit more realistic. ...

I also posted this on the main board, but here goes.

us oldies are getting below 98%, in some cases waaayy below, after years or decades of exemplary work, with raises, etc. How much more obvious can it get that they're downsizing the highest paid (and most experienced) MT/ME, to hire the newbies and get the tax breaks. Makes me SICK, so I resigned a couple weeks ago and feel absolutely in shock that I did it, finally, and trust in God for a better job. ...

proficiency program is from the marketing department. Who the heck are they to know anything about transcribing. They probably aren't showing enough profit with ASR and think they can make us do it faster (despite how horrid the ASR output is). ...

I work in-house at a clinic. When I'm reading over reports from the transcription service, I noticed there are no periods after "Mr.," "Dr.," and so forth. The transcriptionists type them as Dr, Mr, Mrs, etc. Is this yet another way to cheat the MTs out of keystrokes? If so, that's pretty pathetic. ...

Time to do something, nja, not enough money, will not allow me to schedule so I can find part time employment to supplement. This company is abusing us without question. Doing some research and found these two articles: http://www.mediate.com/articles/davenport.cfm and http://minoritysurvival.com/2011/07/15/six-ways-employers-abuse-workers/ ...

On 4/2 a job posting was listed for part-time psychiatry work out of a "small transcription company out of Ohio" that could lead to full time work. Now there is a job listing for a P.r.n. cardiologist transcriptionist that has to have experience to start right away but the rest of the entire posting looks identical to the psych opening and now the psych opening ad is gone? Think they are running some sort of scam? ...

I think it's really something that the local colleges around me are not teaching their medical transcription programs anymore after 20+ years. What does that tell everybody??? ...

This is interesting someone is interviewing for a position wiht SS and asked around about the "overpaying for work but not retroactively taking it from MT paychecks" that happened in the past months and they asked about the various comments of pay not making sense generally here is what they found The company is still overpaying for jobs but the MT has to figure out which jobs. They didn't find out how this is done They also found out there is a lot of work that is not ...

About to send off this e-mail to my ROM or whatever she's calling herself these days....Subject: QA questions, just to be sure I have it straight.... We really, REALLY need to get a ruling from the client on this stuff. In writing. In the last missive I got from QA, I was told that the only symbol allowed on ***** was the percent sign; thus, if they dictated 2+, I was to type 2 plus. Aside from the fact that I've been typing plus signs on ***** reports for 4 ye ...

I was looking for job openings at our local hospital and it's a long story but, found out that they have taken their transcription back in-house. Too many mistakes, not enough quality work, bad turn around times, et al. I am applying today, in person with them. I will offer to scrub their floors if that is what it takes to get back in to transcribing. I know folks who work there and they get a very fair wage, benefits and time off! ...

Those are often temporary transcription only, - like on a new account
