Serving Over 20,000 US Medical Transcriptionists

IMO, FN feels MTs are disposable

They must think there is an endless supply of warm bodies to do this job and put up with being treated poorly.  I really didn't have any trouble with the staff, the platform or the pay -- there just was no work.  Therefore, I took on a second job and phased away from working for them.  I need money to live.  Getting 5 jobs, then No Job Available for the rest of the day was unacceptable. 


Does everyone get it yet?!?  They don't care about their transcriptionists.  What they care about is their TAT and being sure to remain over-staffed.  When I told them I was leaving, the response was, Well, you have to do what you have to do.  We are all replaceable in their eyes:  Disposable, robotic typists.  Their loss.

not everyone feels that way...

I just had to say that I have saw the posts regarding those who did not like you or said that you were awful to deal with, but I don't agree.  I'm still with D&L after you brought me on and love it.  I never had any problems with you.  You handled your job and kept me in work.  I was very surprised to find you no longer there.  I wish you luck in whatever you are doing now! 



Yes, me too. I know how OP feels. I also SM
want to add to GP, you sound like a wonderful person and I have always enoyed your posts.

I'm not out of this, but the end should be coming soon.
Feels kind of right, what your saying
"The other troublemaker"
It is evident that not everyone feels the same way
I am another MT that feels a recruiter should be here arguing for or against their company.  If they are good company, they will retain good MTs whether they offshore or not.  In regard to company paperwork, not everyone is inclined to own a fax machine.  It is not a prerequisite for a job. 
finally, someone else who feels the
way that I do. We are all human beings with feelings and deserve to be treated as such. Thank you.
MTSOs need to know the work is going to be done consistently. Not just when someone feels like
:+
She acts as if she feels threatened and angry
At least that was my impression of her.

You're right though. She'll get her come-down some day.

Just curious as to what MTSO feels is good pay for
x
10.5 w/ benefits & niceness feels good to me
.
Yep. This MT feels like a ping pong ball...
Meanwhile, because the last 6 months has not been the best with the MTSOs, owe lots of bills, and looking to change jobs for about the 3rd time. Actually very tired of being promised and then not having a full paycheck. What am I to tell the bill collectors today? I am going to apply to another job, or take on another, because my job is always running out of work? Talk about a poor credit reference. Uggg. Signed the ping pong MT.
Anyone hire on with MQ recently that feels it's a good fit? Getting the pay you wanted? nm

You'd be surprised who feels they aced tests but didn't.
Everyone always thinks they are the big kahona in testing but I am never surprised at lower scores.

If you bombarded them with tons of emails, etc., you probably hindered your ownself.

Never be too sure of yourself. I see it undone every single day.
A company feels like if you keep your credit in good standing, then
they can expect the same from you. I am in total agreement with a company checking, I have nothing to hide, in fact am very proud of what my credit score is. They don’t care what you owe or how much you owe, the only thing they are looking for is how do you handle your credit. When you are renting now, places check your credit. Smart move on their part.
not to mention, this feels like a push to make this just a part-time
job because it seems to be happening already. My partner drives a school bus and they do that to the drivers, they only allow them to work so-many hours a week, with absolutely NO benefits, other than the few the union has gotten them, and the bit higher pay scale. My partner also has had the union fight for his job many times especially when new managers would come in and right away want to 'clean house', get rid of the higher paid, senior drivers. It costs him 37 dollars a month though for 10 months and that is a drag too but in the long run, he does have some protection and the union is only as strong as its members. they are also in bed with management most of the time but these managers are usually nasty, aggressive, and would rather just hire their friends and family, and that is one thing I appreciate the union for, if nothing else...

you have to have an advocate - someone has to have our best interest in mind if we are ever to keep our jobs...
Nope, just tired of the whining; feels like a daycare center
Seems to me all the time and energy put into this board whining over something that cannot be changed would be more wisely used either (a) learning VR or (b) putting out one's resume.
