Those non-Nuance platforms re. meeting? - ss

Posted: Mar 20, 2015

I am surprised they didn't have the meeting muted on your side so they could just spin their side of everything and to $#$@ with the questions. Your grid must evidently be different from the one we are on (Enterprise system) but I am sure if they take away something from one group, they will find a way to hit another group next.

Didn't they try to reduce your rates once before, then backpedaled on it? Not sure how many of you are impacted by this, but I have to wonder if that is why they are hiring so many new employees with huge sign on bonuses. They anticipate some employee losses and make sure it happens by overhiring and reducing the amount of work available.

Good luck to you and all of us.

They asked us to mute until it was time for questions. They spent about 15 minutes telling us how they were making it equitable for everyone across the board throughout Nuance. They took about shift diff during the week but kept weekend. The grid basically reduced salaries from someone saying $12,000 a year and another going from 11 to 12 a line down to 8.5. .... Basically about 3% decrease, if lucky....

Yes, in December they were cutting our lines from 12% to 15% Bayscribe/Futurenet. Then they backpedaled on that.

Basically, the new grid makes us work harder, more for trying to make what we currently make.

My opinion? They want to force us all to minimum wage of our state.

They did a song and dance around questions and basically telling folks to talk to their TSM about their concerns.

They cancelled the other meetings scheduled. I was going to get in on another call and bring the popcorn just so I could be entertained on how they were going to handle the next batch of upset MSLs. What a fiasco on so many levels.

I was on that first call as well. I hung up from it and typed up my resignation letter and submitted it. I could not believe how they tried to spin how we would not be losing money and that 300 LPH was a realistic goal. Then when it got too hot in the kitchen they ended the call. They must think we are a bunch of trained monkeys that will just continue to take this from them. The stress and time away from my family is not worth my little paycheck now.

Oh how I envy you. I wish I could just quit like that. I have no family or other means of support, so I'm still here until I can find something else.

From reading the posts below and judging from the OOW posts we have had in the last few weeks, seems like they are transferring those OOW to some of our platforms. I feel bad for them and us. They know the best and brightest are leaving, not putting up with this treatment. If I thought I could do better with another MT company, I would jump now, but I want out of MT altogether and not minimum wage either. My time will come and so will theirs.

You ALL can do better! Everyone one of you! I hate this company and the other one also and I cannot stand to read what they are doing to all of you. It makes my skin crawl to think I wasted even 6 months with them and that was too much. Best wishes to you all.

Perfection - Poorhouse

Did you all hear when Brenda said "We don't expect perfection, there's still room there" when talking about the 99.5 accuracy? OMG...I about fell over. We all know how the very small, insignificant, non-patient-care-related errors can sink our scores very quickly to below 99.5 and yet they "don't expect perfection". Give me a break! I can't get over how the higher up say these sorts of things. Are they brainwashed? Do they REALLY believe what they are spewing? Do they REALLY think we are buying it?

I don't know what team you're on, but I'm on the PowerScribe team and they cut our pay twice with this new patient safety plan. Most of us, except one that I can think of who must have extra limbs, have taken huge cuts. I'll be making less than half of what I made last year if the rest of the years goes as swimmingly as the first 2.5 months...

According to a poster below which has apparently already attended one of the payroll meetings (as the poster posted) for nuance they have decided to keep the incentive part of all of our pay going with an exception that now you have to have over the industry standard of 98% to get a production based incentive. In addition (if this poster is accurate) they have again cut the overall pay from 8 and 4 to 3 3/4 AND 7 1/2. This is nothing but a bunch of crapploa...an MT who is now getting ...

I am full time & started training class the last week of July so this is my 1st full pay period. I know we are required to make $900 a pay period, but I can't find my offer letter and can't remember if this was after you'd worked 90 days, or that after 90 days they will check to see if you are averaging.

My company was acquired by Nuance a few months back and so far the only thing that has changed has been e-mail addresses. Paystubs even still reflect our original company name. Will they keep our proprietary platform or make us change to eScription soon? Also, we're all ICs. Does anyone know if we will be required to become Nuance employees at the first of the year? ...

Could somebody explain to me what a platform is? I am being asked what kind of platforms I am familiar with and I'm not sure what they are looking for here. I have always done my reports in Word or Clarus in Windows XP, received my files via the internet through an FTP or through digital voice through a C-phone, and used only a SmartType word expander as addition software. I know this sounds like such a dumb question, but I am really not sure what I am looking for here. Thanks much! ...

Having been a transcriptionist for years and having worked on a few different platforms, I feel that the platform itself is our major tool for achieving production.

Has anyone here turned down a job with an MTSO because their platform is crappy? My employer's platform is TERRIBLE!! You have go through 15 mouse commands (no hot keys!) to perform the simplest function such as signing off a job. I have never seen more inefficient software in my life!! Of course, since they own it now they claim it's the greatest thing since sliced bread.... Would love to hear your platform stories!! ...

My small transcription company is growing fast and our FTP set up we have is not capable of the efficiency we now need with so many clients and MTs added.

This is probably clear as day to most and may belong in the tech forum, but I'm going to try here first. I notice that Nuance owns eScription. Okay, got that. In their ads, they are not compatible with satellite nor wireless internet. Okay, got that. What I do not have is why a completely different company is telling me that eScription is compatible with satellite internet? Just an FYI, this has nothing to do with Nuance. I am not going to work for them and know nothing a ...

I have trained on the above platform and now have doubts about the above platforms. It seems to me it would be very difficult using these 2 platforms. Going through all the steps that you have to go through just to get 1 report done seems like a very long process. I have worked on the IKM platform on another job and it didn't seem that bad to me, but I find using these 2 together would make it impossible to produce a good line count. Is this just my problem or does a ...

I know this has been asked before, but I wanted something a little more current.
