I assumed they would remain the same until 1/1/10

And then who knows whether those who chose to stick it out will have a pay cut...or if they'll even have a job at all.

Not sure legally because we're under contract until 01/01/2010 if they can tamper with or wages until then. You can bet once that magical day approaches, IMO, the cuts will occur. DEEP cuts.

"ICs remain so"
Okay, now I am getting confused. Who are you quoting? Also, I thought we were all statutory, as we do have OASDI and Medicare taken out of our paychecks. Indepent contractor means you have absolutely no taxes taken from your gross pay, you received the whole amount and then have to pay your own taxes, all of them.
Did you ask her for how long it would remain the same?
See, there are lies, and then there are lies by omission.

Of course, your pay has not changed YET. Therefore, she technically did not lie.

Now had you asked her for how long your pay would remain the same, I'll be you would have had an entirely different answer...If an answer at all.

I really don't mean to be snarky, but were a lot of people really so naive as to buy into this merger from the get-go? Maybe I've just been through so many of them that I'm jaded and know what's going to happen a few steps before it's actually announced.


Where did you go and remain at that rate?

I am only at 10 cpl and cannot find anywhere that pays close to that.


 


I assumed ...
they were from another planet.  Seemed to be a whole different way of thinking than what we find here on earth in good company management.
Which three offices will remain open?
Do you know?
they will remain 2 separate entities

cbay and MQ.  As far as buying them out, Cbay has bought 70% shares from Phillips Electronics who originally had the interest of stocks.  Cbay was only able to do this through 2 huge financial corporations one located in UK and the other in the US.  we will remain under the financial guidance of cbay holdings who is currently going through changes in management. 


I have steady work and see my primary work steadily throughout the day with 2 other accounts. The pay could be better since they reduced the rate when doing ASR work but it is still higher than other companies pay for ASR.  You have to speak up for yourself when you feel you deserve a raise. They won't come to you so make sure you go to them when you feel its time.  I try to stay positive and throughout the major changes which started about 2 years ago I have remained here when I thought I would not last and there were always people doubting they would not last.  I even went to work for another company and decided to go back to MQ.  Maybe it was not the right fit but it takes time finding the right one and I still might explore other opportunities but I have gained so much experience here as far as medical transcription is concerned. 


Hope this helps a lot.  good luck to you. 


 


Assumed you were American..
which makes it more sad that you expect such poor quality of your very private personal medical records and others as well, not to mention the lack of privacy in another country. Go figure!!! No patriotism whatsoever. Shame on you.
She never said she was a wannabe. You just assumed.

I agree 100%. People should know better, but those of us are who loyal will remain so.

Furthermore, I would like to know how the Indians remain HIPAA compliant when there are 27 of them

I'm not ready to leave yet, so will remain anon sm
but I did want to just say that not any one company is all that for everyone.  I personally know at least three people who have not had a good experience with this company, one of which is me.  I choose to remain anonymous because I am still working there for personal reasons but will be making a change here in a couple of months.  I thought they were wonderful at the beginning too but things have soured for many different reasons.  I don't say this to argue with anyone but just to say that this company is not for everyone and not everyone who works for this company is the greatest.   
Assumed she meant to-do list... sm
...as the MTs (who actually do the MT work!) are usually at the bottom of The Suits' to-do list as far as acknowledging and/or rewarding and/or appreciating. :-)
Just started new job. I didn't ask, just assumed

(yeah I know what happens when you assume), that I would be doing all Ops.  I've done 99.99% Ops for the last 10+ years.  Anyway, new company says I have to do everything.  There are at least 10 different work types when you count EEGs, echos, caths, etc.   I don't know how many dictators, but the list is 28 pages single-spaced so lots of them.  How in the world can you be productive like that?   The company says I make myself more valuable by being able to do it all.  I can do it all, but I prefer Ops and if I can do them well, even ESLs, and do lots of minutes why wouldn't I be just as valuable. 


I thought I made a good move but am seriously rethinking it. 


I guess I assumed I was not getting anything because it's Christmas Eve..
and the mail has came.  I'm sorry but I do feel it is extremely disorganized to miss people on a holiday. My opinion is this... send everyone something or no one anything. It's not like I'm an IC. I am employee, I'm on the payroll and they never miss me when they are screaming for extra help on an account.  I've always gone out of my way. I'm just going to assume it was an accident and ignore it. I have a job and I'm grateful for that.
My apologies. I just assumed, which is horrible. sm
Do not base communication on your lead. If you are not happy, call Becky at the office. There have been changes and they are listening to suggestions, which is good. My lead is NOT the best but I have an easy account. I always call the office or email BB if I need something. The response is immediate. I bet you are on an account with my lead (HIM). Email if you want as I love to network with other strokers.
If I assumed anything I would assume your job IS on the line. n/m


Just found out I have to buy error/omission insurance to remain IC. So long MDI.

I assumed that it wasn't actually them posting those.Just someone who wanted to make them look ba
I could be wrong, but I seriously doubt that a company would do something that would make them look that unprofessional.
I had assumed eScription was simply editing, not correct? (nm)

I assumed it meant you didn't need years of experience..what does entry level mean to you?
