Poorly written article, but - things that make you go hmmm


Posted: Nov 23, 2011

This article is very poorly (almost badly) written, but it makes you think - if the US is going to investigate Alibaba for wanting to own Yahoo, then why not other companies, like MQ that is buying up American MT companies at a rapid pace. 

Haven't read the article....sm - Old Woman

but, going by your comment, I would have to say the reason that ocmpanies like MQ and MTSOs are not being investigated because they do not have the exposure that Yahoo does. We are, by and large, an invisible industry. We provide a vital service, but we are not a visible entity to very many outside of our own profession. While we are visible to hospital and clinic administrators, simply by virtue of the service we provide, they are not about to step to our defense as offshoring our jobs saves them money, which is the name of the game for them. Sad commentary for our profession, but true.

True, but there's also POLITICS. - Reader

You had better believe that POLITICS definitely impacts who does and does not get investigated.

The Q is owned by Soros, Warburg, et al. Soros is one of Obama's advisors.

Nuff said.

MModal Is SO Poorly Run. They NEVER Learn.
Mar 22, 2014

Once in a while I come back here and read the posts and am reminded of how much I despise this corrupt, ruthless, cutthroat company. They have NO IDEA how to manage money or to treat their employees. The higher-ups still get paid top dollar while everyone else keeps getting pay cuts. They thought they could pay us as little as possible and expect near perfect work but karma is a bi...... as they say. I can't believe what is going on and I feel so bad for all the wonderful MT/MEs, especially ...

Written By Every MT Who Really Had Something To Say.
Sep 24, 2012

There is a profession well hidden from the world, but involves your everyday care when you go to see your doctor. The skill is called transcription and a transcriptionist is the person trained to prepare a dictated voice recording from your medical provider into a legal document that goes into your medical record. When transcription became a skilled job back in the early 1960-1970s, the reports were typed on a manual typewriter, and then progressed onto the electric typewriter, and on to com ...

hello. I'm posting this using Google speech recognition. Its a program on my android tablet. I never noticed it was here before. It isn't dragon. It isn't capital dragon.
