Yes the same MTs sending work to QA
day in and day out. I get sick of it. And nothing is done about it from management.
re sending work to QA
I really don't believe we'd be penalized or cut for that, UNLESS it was for the same type mistakes over and over, or inexcusable ones that would be caught in proofing, etc. Hope I'm right.
What has sending work to India done?
We have upset the economy of India, creating an even larger rift and making the poor even poorer because we have inflated the economy in the cities and of those who have had a chance to be educated. The poor have lost even more footing.

We have lost job opportunities for our own Americans, but the companies continue charge the hospitals the same amount for transciption, however their overhead continues to drop, corporate salaries continue to increase and our rate of pay stays the same or drops.

India is a country that allows very very little importing of anything made in the US, so it is a 1 way deal for them.

The individuals from other companies do not pay taxes, so we continue to pay to support those in our country who have gone on the public roles for aid and assistance.
Wouldn't it be nicer to have some of these people working again?

Do you work for Breitner?
They deduct a general 25 to 30% off your total line count per pay period. If you did 15,000 for the period, they deduct 4,500 lines from your total line count for headers/footers. My paycheck was many hundreds of dollars short of what I thought it should be.
breitner work
I work there, and have been low during the day M-F, but I worked 4 hours this morning and got over 900 lines.  That would be 1800 for the day and I would love that.  Don't know about the other shifts, but day time seems to be slow right now.  Otherwise the work is good, and not many ESL dictators at all.  Love that. 
Outsourcing is a hospital sending work out to SM
be done by a service (for our purposes, this is a good definition), while OFFSHORING is when a hospital or service sends the work outside the U.S. (like to India, Pakistan, Phillippines, etc.) to be done.
Transtech just may be sending some of our work to that other MTSO again, and maybe

that small MTSO that they sometimes use to help them out offshores and that is why we MT's at Transtech suddenly have an abundance of work this week -- asking for extra help this week -- quite a new thing with TT.  With the India cables being cut, putting those India MT's out of work, it makes me wonder if that service that TT sometimes uses to do our work maybe offshores.


Just thinking.  Keep those India cables DOWN/CUT !!!!!  We U.S. MT's need the work kept here in the U.S.


It's not just overhiring. They are sending the best work to India.
They have always sent work there but I believe they have geared up these efforts in the past six months, and the easiet work (ER). That is when I noticed there was not consistent work.  I had to move on and so will others.
Webmedx must be sending work to overflow co's as soon as...sm
regular employees start hitting overtime. The economy has an effect on the workload, I know, but not like this, not during peak flu season. Does anyone know for a fact that they are doing this? TIA
Anyone work for Breitner Transcription?
If so, do you know what the compensation rate is for PTO? Also, were you affected by the overpayment for lack of work time?  Other comments?
Breitner - run out of work, no communication, pay

BREITNER WORK VOLUME?
I'm wondering if the low volume of work mentioned by other posters here is for all shifts or just daytime?  The recruiter recently told me that there is plenty of work and she offered me a full-time position.  Might it be just to have me around when and if they get more work in the future?  Would I be a fool to expect full-time volume NOW if I would be working late second shift?
I would agree. Another case for sending work overseas (sm)
Those MTs work their schedules. Ask any MTSO or management of a national transcription company, and you'll find out it's like pulling teeth to get MTs with good work ethic to actually work the hours they are contracted to work. This is another reason that overseas transcription is used.

You may not believe me, but this *is* a growing trend in the MT industry. MTs that are both skilled and have a good work ethic are a rare find. I don't understand why - perhaps it is so many new MTs expecting working at home to be a walk in the park. I've definitely seen a downward spiral in the past 10 years.
No need to look. Sending 90% of the work offshore has put money in the bank for me. sm
It has lowered my stress level. I work half the hours I used to. Unfortunately for those of you that have your heads in the sand, there are options for companies now that do not include putting up with what we had to for years from MT's. My accounts are happy because the turnaround times are better than ever and the quality is about the same. The offshore companies have improved greatly in the past 10 years and the quality for some of them is the same or better than some in-house departments. Even my customers are amazed when they realize this.

I tell my customers that the work is being done offshore and guess what? THEY DO NOT CARE! They just want it done fast, done right and at a lower cost. They are happy and refer us to other hospitals who also DO NOT CARE THAT IT IS BEING SENT OFFSHORE.

You are fooling yourselves if you think hospitals will not use a service if they send work overseas.

I just wish I had done this 10 years ago instead of 3.

If you think I can't sleep at night, you're wrong. Quite the opposite. I don't feel bad about sending work out of the country because I am now providing money to someone who might otherwise starve.

As Americans, we do not know what it is like to truly be hungry or need shelter. If we did, we might appreciate what we have a lot more. I certainly do now and to be honest, I am happy not to have to listen to every whine and ailment of transcriptionists and excuses all day long. I KNOW the work is getting done.
Funny about sending work out to India. I was curious and pulled up their
website, it says they NEVER send work outside the U.S.

I sent them an email asking too because I had no intention of sending

Please tell me where you work here or email me
thank you
Please email me where you work at
I have not been with OSi for long and wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt after reading the things said about them but when I got the email I was very surprised and this just makes me want to find another job where this type of stuff doesn't happen. I find it hard to believe that OSI would promote someone fresh out of the mentor program to a management position but I read the email with my own eyes.
email me if you want - i currently work there. sm
i found them good to work for. i am assigned work daily from same acct, but not necessarily in a pool. mostly same dictators.
I work for them currently. You may email
me with any questions.
It's exactly like the email from where I work
So no, there's nothing confidential or sensitive in this post at all.
I work there, but cannot send an email.
How can I help you

I tried the email again and it didn't work, so

I'll just post it here. Maybe if you email me it might be easier.


 


Hi Fatcat,


I'm trying this email again and hope that it gets to you.  I'm an IC at MDI too and I have 2 accounts that both have no work today.  I've been considering taking on another job part-time, but most of the ads are for full-time or for ICs where they set a schedule for you.


I just wanted to ask you if you know of companies that will hire ICs part-time and allow for a flexible schedule?  Also, how do you juggle the second IC position when most require a Saturday or Sunday and that's when most of the MDI work comes in?  I'm so afraid of taking on a second job and then finding I'm over my head.


That email address did not work?

Could you email me and let me know what the email address was that you used to send your resume to.


thanks


I work for them and would recommend them highly. Email me if you
want to ask specific questions. oceansonata@aol.com

Ran out of work, they wouldn't return email or call...see msg
They wouldn't contact me back or answer my calls. Four days later they finally got back with me to tell me to be patient. I specifically asked when I took the position if running out of work was ever a problem.
Email me privately. I think we work for the same company and I have an answer for you.
I went through all of this about 6 months ago and if it's the same company I'll give you the lowdown.
