Namely, why US hospitals are being turned into Towers of Babel because there is no SPOKEN English testing of foreign physicians. As it is, they only need to be able to read/write English sufficiently well to take the exam, which is a very different thing entirely from being able to speak English. It's passing strange to me that when I'm doing the most difficult work that I do with some of the most abysmal dictators that I deal with, who cannot string 3 English words togeth ...

This weekend, my daughter and husband both wanted to "talk" to me. Okay I said. Uh oh is what I thought. My daughter had tears in her eyes and asked me to please quit this job because of what she sees it is doing to me. My husband, of course, chimes in. I stated, "We need the money." My blood pressure is up, I am eating all the time so my weight is up and they said is was like I never leave the house anymore and then asked me, "are you depressed?" Even ...

in reading about the pressure cooker conditions we're all under trying to meet MModal's standards - and for minimum wage at that - I think, "Crack that whip!" Then from there, my mind goes to a story of a woman I once knew who was a supervisor of some kind, and she said once she meant to jokingly yell that out to the employees, but what came out of her mouth instead was, "Whip that crack!" She was mortified. I guess there's a funny side to everything. ...

by 5 hours a week, and because he's a supervisor, his salary will be cut by 3%. Probably more cuts in the next few months. I know it's not much, but it's scary. We can't afford it (we're barely making it now), but we'll manage. I've already taken a second part-time job to supplement my FT at MQ and am looking for another full-time job - that's not MT related. The company he works for is over 100 years old and has never had lay ...

This means 65% will see decrease and/or paid minimum wage. They are touting this as the great new comp (local Burger King is advertising job for $10/hour). Anyone find out if the QC percentage is just for blanks or include all sent to QA including Audio issues, etc, and will EQA be included. Also, trying to figure out our pay from week to week is going to be a pain. I am going to see how this new comp plan works out, but since the conference call, I'm not feeling pos ...

and my teenage son, who has witnessed many meltdowns that I have had working for MM, was in earshot and simply said, Mom, wouldn't that be like marrying an abusive boyfriend? His analogy was right on if you ask me! I have been sending out resumes, actively looking for another job and when I saw this I thought that it sounds great and is a very generous offer but in the end you will still be working for Mmodal who expects everything and gives nothing in return. I am her ...

I have been at home working full time for about a year. I have been an MT longer, but I always had kept a job outside of the home also because I like interaction with other. I have found that I am starting to lose my people skills. Do others have this same problem? It is like I have forgotten how to really be able to hold a conversation with others. This is something that really bothers me as I have always loved customer service and working with people and main ...

Evidently it is an unwritten rule at my company that when you are asked to work hours outside of your shift, or over 40 hours, it is a given that you are to do so with no extra pay. Should I bring it up? Am I the only one? We all work 40 hours on my account, some nights, and some weekends. Always have. Now the AM is e mailing on the weekend asking us to get on there and get caught up. Extra money is never mentioned - never paid, although if more than 40 hours is on ...

I ran into a former co-worker. She asked what I was doing and I told her I am doing medical transcription from home. She said her daughter is taking an online course in MT but it is slow going. She asked me a few questions about the field. Mainly she wanted to know if there is work out there. I didn't want to be negative so I said yes, there's work out there, even though in my heart I know her daughter is going to have a tough time getting work. At l ...
