I have no work on either account this morning.  Especially with the holidays coming on, if your income is the sole support of the family, I would highly recommend that you get another job (or 2) to make sure you will have enough to keep you going, no matter where you choose to work.  I am starting 2 new part-time jobs today.  I don't really want to work myself to death, but then again, I do not want to be out on the street because I cannot pay my bills.

Good luck to you, whatever you decide to do. 

I for the most part have been a lurker for the most part.....lol.  There have been times when I have read some things that have been posted and wondered about the poster's state of mind, but for the most part I take what I want to take and I let go of the crap.  I have made a decision NOT to read the political part of this board.  I do read an occasional Gab posting.  I check out the company boards mostly and occasionally check the Job Seeker's board.  If you feel that you need to leave then I'm sorry to see you go as there needs to be people who are of the mind set to be POSITIVE and RESPECTFUL of others on this board.  If you leave then that is one less person.  So I hope you stick around and simply do what I do:  Let one eyebrow go up and then say hmmmmm.  Unhappy people do unhappy things.

I agree also.  I do think that each company has its MTs that have not one thing good to say about the company and on the flip side, there are many that love it.  I have worked at a few different companies in my time and find through experience on this forum to be true.  I absolutely love Transcend.  There are a few things that aren't perfect in my book, but the good far outweighs the bad.  The thing that I hate, though, is if you have anything good at all to say about your company, you are either management, lying, or a cheerleader.  I think that people love to believe the worst. 

I also have found out through my travels that things can vary greatly from one employee to another even though they may work at the same company.  There may be a rule for you that does not apply to another, example - below one says Spheris would not allow someone to work at MQ also but there is an MT who is doing it with permission.  An MT can get on here and argue all day long that this or that doesn't happen at their company but it may very well happen for another MT.  It is so humerous to me to see that we believe that being employed at a company, in our remote homes, that we think we know everything about that company and how it operates with the other remote MTs - MTs that more than likely we don't even know. 

When offshore outsourcing first began many clients began jumping on that bandwagon thinking they were going to be able to save money.  That resulted in a great number of clinics and hospitals eliminating their in-house transcription departments because of 1) reduction in overhead expense by outsourcing a whole department and 2) realizing an even greater reduction in expenses by using foreign labor at less cost than domestic transcription wages.  The trend is beginning to come full circle now and because of quality issues and the higher cost of risk management more clients are demanding that their medical records information stay in the United States.  A lot of MTSOs now advertising are stating right in their ads NO OFFSHORE MTs NEED APPLY.  Clients are beginning to see that it wasn't as cost effective as they thought it would be because it actually ends up costing more in the long run either in quality or risk management. Some hospitals and clinics are actually bringing work back in house again and only using domestic vendors for overflow work.  I think sooner or later unless the quality of VR improves it will have the same result. 

Thank you for posting this!  I am also very happy with Amphion.  It is nice to hear a positive experience for a change.  I hope your post will help other MTs searching for work realize that there really are some good companies out there!

Definately the meanest on this board.  Always has something to say, whether it pertains or not...
