wonder, did anyone "strike" at Nuance yesterday?

I know it is not just the MTs, but I went to WM yesterday (yes I do hate WM, but no choice here in the middle of nowhere) and it was packed!! Everyone was going about their normal daily routine it looked like. ...

After 20 plus years in this field and now having to work 15 hour days to make a decent day's pay, I do not know about you, but I am fed up. There is not a company out there that does in fact "value" our services. If we can get 8/line we consider ourselves lucky. I have seen the rates go down and believe that is due to the fact most companies outsource to other countries - whether they admit it or not - and was in fact told by a recent recruiter not to expect more than 8 ce ...

Go back to school - the economy is so rough on experienced MTs and we all need to band together and strike for three days just like people do with the gas prices. Let them see how really important we are instead of paying us wages like a beginner transcriptionist. ...

I have been on 100% QA for 3 MONTHS now. Been working slower, taking my lumps, reading each (of my 300) client profiles, "thanking" my CCM and QA for their feedback, no no avail. I can't live with this pay MQ gives. I cannot make a decent check at 4cpl on 100% ASR. I talked to my CCM, but really??? "There's nothing I can do until you're off QA, I understand how hard it is, I don't think it's right either..." This cannot be LEG ...

Really I am just being silly, but think about it! What if we all just quit typing for one day? What if the day we just don't type falls on an Indian Holiday? HeHeHe then they would be screwed! That's how I feel right now with the short changing I keep getting. I am on a 95% ASR account with the world's worst dictators. Oh well, just a thought. I just thought I would share this after going over my line count and what I made today so far. *e ...

You need to wake up the industry. You all need to strike. Need to pick a few days to not work at the same time. You all need to call in sick. You say you need your job?? I guarentee you this company is LAYING OFF MTs EVERYDAY! There are some days which are in the hundred range. You need to stand up and do something or you will soon GET THE CALL stating you are such a good employee, but...... we unfortunately have to let you go. At least you ...

We should all go on strike until they fix this pay plan or give us our old pay and leave it alone. Thousands of MLS on strike would have an impact. Even hundreds might. It's the only way to get heard or our point across. We are the "bottom feeders" but we are the ones doing all the hard work, have the schooling for it and produce in order for the higher guys to get their lovely bonuses and big checks. We make them money. We are the company basically. If so many are outraged then we need to ...

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/07/29/fast-food-workers-plan-one-day-strike-for-monday/?test=latestnews The Washington Post reports that the protests will take place in New York City, Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Kansas City, and Flint, Mich., involving workers at McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's and KFC. Some employees at stores including Dollar Tree, Macy's and Victoria's Secret are also expected to join the protesters in several cities. "A lot of ...

So, I know that there are a lot of issues from all sides of the MT industry and that a lot of people are unhappy. I know that there are many happy MTs out there, but I think that those MTs may be newbies (and don't really know the difference of how it used to be to now) or are one the lucky few that work for some of the great companies out there, or possibly work in-house. IMHO there should be NO reason to send our work out of the country, especially with delicate med ...

I've seen lots of posts on these boards recently about strikes. Please do some research before you risk your jobs. Only a union can call a strike. Most of the men in my family belonged to unions over the years, so I've read up a lot. If you don't believe me, start with the link I've provided and do your own research. I have to wonder if most of those advocating striking even work for any of the MTSOs discussed. You have to be a union me ...

As MTs, we have seen over the years how our jobs just keep bottoming out more or less. Companies are taking advantage of us while they "suck up all the money" that is paid out by healthcare facilities; we just "don't count." On top of that, companies are now trying to turn us into ICs supplying our own software programs AND equipment. In 25 years of doing this, I have not seen line count pay increase one iota quite frankly. The only thing I can think of is ...

Inflation (according to Reuters). Think we'll get more work? Sure hope this kind of thing catches on over there! (take that, Kumar!). ...

Wondering if anyone has noticed an increase in work because of this? My accounts are still pretty low. ...

and I made a whopping $7/hour. They gave me a physician that, obviously, no one wants. Lots of work on the system from him. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr. I still have private clients and can make $7 in about 10 minutes. It's infuriating, but I need the extra $$....if that's what you can call it. I also got some crazy QA corrections. One says one thing and another person says another. Not sure what to do about that. In my opinion, consistency within a c ...

I felt confident in myself when I walked into test. Felt prepared, however I walked out feeling dejected and not sure if I even passed. I seriously do not know how I did. I did well on most sections, but I took the advice of other past testers... skipped over the more challenging scenario/questions (And I am glad I did, as I would not have answered the easier ones at the end of the test booklet had I spent time on the harder ones) My plan was to go ...

Yes, I gave a 2 week notice. I didn't work a lot during those 2 weeks because my primary account was low, or out, of work and it just didn't feel right to take jobs away from someone else on my team. I have to say this......my team lead, my prior team lead, and their manager were very good to me. I realize that they have higher managers too and they are required to follow the rules that are put upon them. There lies the problem. The higher ups. I've ...

This is the 3rd time in 6 months that my check has been late..... ...

Just curious if MQ is going to try to ignore yesterday's DocQscribe crash. My CCM is on vacation so I just put an alert on my timecard. The RTL told me that it was not an alert and deleted my note. So downtime or not? I guess I will just be short this week because I am not making up hours or taking PTO when their stupid system crashes and MQ refuses to own up to it. Thats what they get for having us all upgrade at the same time. ...

Not one (1) typed report yesterday all day. Then got an audit back with a low score, very, very picky. A couple of careless things, my fault, trying to get in enough editing lines to make a living and rushing. Guess I need to slow down even more.... Thinking about looking into a receptionist position at a doctor's office near me. I figure with my age and number of years I have just been doing MT I might not be employable in the outside world, but will give it a ...

Yesterday, my downtime started with an ADT lookup for an attending when it said "database not available" and today, it's doing the same dang thing, just started about 3 minutes ago. Is this happening to anyone else? I hesitate to keep working because yesterday, I never got the job back that I was in the middle of when it crashed. Argh! ...

When I started out MT years back I transcribed for the local hospital ER docs group. I loved it, but moved on when work dwindled down. A friend works for the group of hospitals in management so I asked who was doing the ER transcription now, I wanted to apply. I was told the hospitals in this area have started using scribes and are slowly doing away with MTs altogether. The exact same thing my new GP doc told me a year ago. Not sure how much longer we are going to be around people, be prepar ...

I was a patient in a local ER yesterday and had the nicest British physician. I was directly across from central and was able to hear this physician dictate. Clear, concise, perfect speed, a dream to transcribe. The downside is the hospital uses Epic only - no editing by human hands (and ears) at all. Why oh why can't us humans have dictators like this? ...

We were out of TAT once last week and since then if there are more than 2 (well maybe I am exaggerating here) jobs in the pools they open up OT. Everyone needs to make money, so of course many of us come in and work. Understandable. But TSMs need to cut it off at some point so we don't wind up with nothing in the morning and slow, slow, slow to build up during the day once it is cleaned out at night. They want you to come back in early afternoon and make up ...
