Hanging on to both

In Reply to: The new one is IC the old one is not - They said what

Will the new employer let you begin on a part-time basis for a few weeks since it is IC. I know what you are going through but a word of caution . . . I once got a part-time job with a national company, thinking I would quit my full-time if it was a good fit since I was very dissatisfied with my full-time. However, after all the paperwork and even training, I was still not working in the part-time after 3 weeks. I was never even paid for the training time. I told them to forget it as I did not have the time to keep waiting, and I was soooo glad I had not outright quit the old job.

Not so sure many MTs are not hanging themselves -
Saw it for nearly 5 years at the last placed I worked and did QA where grads from the top schools dropped like flies for careless work, a less than adequate grasp of the English language, and just plain old poor comprehension of diseases processes and an understanding of medicine. IF you are a truly good MT my belief is you will always have a job any place you want.
Hanging by a Thread..
Yes, I currently work for HIS, but not for the reasons you have. I am only holding on for the insurance and PTO. My supervisor is unbelievable rude and all of my accounts are 97% ESL. If HIS is not being sold, why are people leaving left and right? It makes me wonder if the employees in-house know more than the remote staff.
Yay! Here's to hanging onto the ship!

Still hanging in here at Spheris

I have been with Spheris for 5-1/2 years (originally with Healthscribe) and my income has definitely declined since they took away all my original accounts and gave them to India. When they took away unrestricted OT a few weeks ago, I was really ready to bail and applied for several jobs and actually have a job I can jump to at any second if it gets too bad. However, since then, the work has picked up with no one working overtime, unless the accounts go out of TAT, I have been able to keep my production up and it seems as though OT, in my accounts at least, will probably hold out for a while since we are constantly out of TAT lately. I am producing almost double the required lines per week, and as long at the work is there for me and I can put in some overtime, I am going to hang in here. I wouldn't encourage anyone to start with this company, and I wouldn't apply here again if I left, as I would have no idea what kind of situtation anyone coming in would come into. I have no idea what is going on with this company but I don't like the general feeling of it anymore. I do like some of the conveniences and although some people hate a time clock, I love it. The minute Spheris took over Healthscribe and we got a time clock, I had an immediate raise due to the OT I was already putting in at HS, but not getting paid for.   As I read the board and the pros and cons of all the companies, I realize that for now, this job is working for me, but the minute it isn't anymore I will be out of here. Having a job already lined up if I need it, at least gives me some security. However, I am set to learn the new platform soon and that could be a final deciding factor for me when my accounts switch over. I'm just waiting to see how that all plays out. Once I do leave here, I will never again work for a company that sends work overseas. I definitely never feel appreciated here that's for sure.


Nope!! I'm still hanging in there too (sm)
I would love to know what is going on and sitting here most of the day sucks!!
Well a painter wouldn't be hanging sm
out at said paintees house on a regular basis painting would they?  They'd complete THE JOB and be done with it - this is asking for an ONGOING in your face scheduled committment of time - HUGE DIFFERENCE.
...and did you know another for Spanish moss is hanging lichen? I had condescending people. nm
