Work on my acct in the red. - MT

Posted: Jul 27, 2013

My last week of notice, and work is so far behind it is incredible. Wondering if everyone else on my team quit. I feel bad for the patient, not for this company. SMH.

Same here. Working on my last week of notice. I went to Precyse. Where did you go?

Just put my notice in. Headed to Precyse too. - no message

Precyse seems to be getting a big bulk of Nuance - CNN2

Amazing thing is that Nuance treated me so bad, that I look forward to giving Precyse my best.

I'm ready to quit here also, but not sure if a different company will be any better. - mt2

I have looked into Precyse. Has anyone who has left a job for Precyse liked it better? I'm so over Nuance.

You never know until you jump out of that ship - that you are on right now

I know...it's hard. Like you I worried and worried and worried more about it. Am I jumping out of the frying pan into the fire? Is it going to be better, or God forbid, WORSE? So, I hear ya!!

But, my last paycheck decided it for me. I kept tract of the hours I was working, the amount of blanks I sent in (1), and the lines that I typed on a day to day basis. I wound up making just about 2.20 an hour. I'm worth more than that after 22 years of doing this and making a good living from it at other places.

You won't know until you try. How much worse could it really be? And, if you leave Nuance on good terms, give them a 2-week notice, be courteous, don't burn that bridge, if your venture turns out to be worse, maybe you can come back...if you want to. But, at least it's YOUR choice. Good luck in whatever you decide to do.

TRACK not tract....LOL!! - No message

I hope that I'm completely wrong about this, but personally, I've come to the conclusion that no matter WHICH transcription company I work for, things are going to continue to become worse and worse in terms of pay, benefits, and working conditions (badgering, threats, FIESA, and the like). We have already seen it happen at Nuance this past year, and I also have 2 MT friends, both at different MT companies, and their wages have recently been dropped as well. Even if there are some good MT companies in existence, and I'm sure there must be, I have no faith that they will stay that way for much longer; I believe that in the interests of staying competitive, they too will begin to cut their people's wages and benefits... or if not, they will otherwise end up becoming "acquired" by a bigger company. I'm planning to quit Nuance and am looking for something else (ideally MT!) -- but have finally decided that if I stay an MT, the ONLY way I will continue doing this at home will be to work AS AN EMPLOYEE of a healthcare facility itself. In which case I think there will be more fairness in terms of wages, benefits, and maybe just some plain old human kindness. Just IMO

I'm with you... I'm scared to leave the frying pan for the fire, so to speak. I have thought it over and over and over, and I have decided that I'm just going to get out of medical transcription altogether. I guess you could say I've been burned too many times in this field, and it doesn't seem to be getting any better.

I don't know anything about Precyse, so I can't offer up anything on that, but I have read quite a few good things here on the boards lately, and Nuance has lost quite a few people to Precyse. :)

I hope you find something that makes you happy!

I felt the same... - when I went there from MModal.

Don't worry. When you hit bottom (companies like Nuance & MM), there's nowhere to go but up!

Here's an idea to get us all working, - instead of penalizing us

[ In Reply To ..]
Get a clue about rewarding people for doing extra work when there is need. I don't hear them threatening sending the work to India (who really cares, go ahead), and I also don't hear them asking for help and offering something. Anything. Webmedx used to give us Walmart gift certificates when we did a certain amount, proper overtime, not the ridiculously crappy way Nuance calculate it so you make, wow, an extra $5 or something! Let's see you guys offer something, even the fact that maybe you will be exempt from the relentless QA/QC or whatever you call it that has been raking through every single document to find errors to try to take away our bonuses. What's in it for us? Nothing, obviously, not a thing. Now's when they become socialistic, needing us to "help out and be a team player." Gah.

If they want us to work overtime, it's simple: - Pay us the bloody overtime, and cut CEO pay, inste

[ In Reply To ..]
Of course, that would be too simple, and too honest and morally correct. Those weasels just don't think that way. If they think at all, that is.

LOL....Oh they think alright... they think how they - can take more

[ In Reply To ..]
money from US to put in THEIR pockets!

That's what you guys need to respond with when - begged to "help out" is SM

[ In Reply To ..]
"I dont think I'm qualified to help out on out of TAT accounts due to the amount of "major errors" I've been getting lately from the stellar judgement and experience of the overseas QA people. I would prefer to step aside and let the more experienced people do the quality work that this company is known for."

I'd do it.

** heavy dose of sarcasm on the last sentence...

I have stopped myself from working extra - for just that reason

[ In Reply To ..]
I got a lot of major errors, ALL post audit, which means they are now gunning for the bonuses I think. The thing is, even though I wince when I see the errors, in my book none of them were anything that should have been major and they really did not change the content of the report. Just what the heck is their plan here anyway? I guess I will just have to slow down and proofread everything OR never check FIESA and get as many lines as possible and not be so picky. Do you get anything deducted if you do that or you just lose the bonus?

I'm on accts that do not allow any blanks at all through to the cliient. ALL blanks must go to QA. I haven't ever worked on an acct that would not even allow one blank to the client.

clearly dictates a sentence that makes absolutely no sense. Just sort of an open-ended sentence, not even a fragment?

Maybe they are texting when they are dictating........Anyhow, do you just type what they say and send it off or do you mark it for QA? ...

I was just wondering because I have worked for companies that basically encourage communication via email or IM amongst their MTs and then I have worked at companies that discourage communication with other MTs, there's only communication with your immediate supervisor and QA personnel. I was just wondering what everyone's preference is? The companies that discourage communication tend to give reasons such as one MT might become a pest and cause others to not get their work done ...

I'm sure a lot of you work on multiple accounts. I work on 3 different accounts. Right now I have my account specifics on my desktop, but this is aggravating to me.

Some people may think it's easier to have them on their desktop where they can click on them and leave them open in the background, but then I scroll and seems like cannot find w ...

Hospital is going to M-Modal. M-Modal said they would hire the in-house MTs. But I see on the board there is not a lot of work. Hospital normally has work 24/7. I guess this will change with MM taking over, right? We will have 23 jobs cut out here. So, do I have a chance of making money with MM? I am sorry, I am not being disrespectful, but it is making me almost sick. ...

Something to think about? Would it make any difference for any of us? I was called an IC by every company I've done transcription for. Apparently one of the main definitions by state or federal Dept of Labor is if you (the IC) make the choice of how the work is done and when the work is completed? But by that definition, would you not legally be an employee if the MTSO or company or whatever sets a deadline or specific time when that work is to be finished and returned t ...

and I know it's temporary. My problem is that the company I work for requires a daily line count and expects us to work around our schedules and do anything we can to get those lines in.
