More than being a breach of confidentiality, the legal onus rests with what is known as theft of proprietary information. Either way, she will be in big trouble if she is ever found out.

Not unethical, when you factor in the unethical companies
She's just another MT trying to make a living like the rest of us. The old way of taking it 1 job at a time while you dump 4 fly-by-nights in order to find one that is honest and actually PAYS its MTs, can lead to lots of between-job time with no pay at all. MT has become a cutthroat business, and in order to stay in it, one has to sometimes turn the tables on these unscrupulous MTSOs. If EVERYONE did, you better believe they'd clean up their act pronto.
Not only is it unethical.....sm
She is in danger of being sued for breach of confidentiality and, if the higher ups at SS find out, believe me, they will come after her.
There is nothing unethical
What is the difference how you do it, either with SR or an expander. I have severe carpal tunnel. If not for SR, I would be out of a job. We all take short cuts to get the job done. There is nothing unethical about it. You have to have very articulate speech to be successful with it and fortunately, I do.
No, it is unethical to take this information to
another company. It belongs to the original company. Maybe you are on the AAMT list or something. Sometimes they contact folks from the AAMT list.
Unethical??? Tell that to Dictaphone


U R so right! The MT industry gets away with so much unethical
If all MTs were to rise up one day, suddenly become VISIBLE, and make their voices heard, maybe the industry would be put on notice to clean up their act.
Unfortunately, many practice this unethical behavior. sm
I worked for a company that sold out to MQ. A certain person took all of the names of the MTs with her when she went to another company, went after the accounts this company had, and tried to recruit the MTs for that account for the new company.

I asked how they go my name and number as I had never applied to this new company before - and I was told so and so worked at such company and we have this account now and you used to work on for such and such company....etc. I was shocked to say the least!

So, yes it does happen, and NO I never took the job and asked them to please not contact me again that I was not interested.

Nothing is sacred anymore - not even our privacy let alone the hospitals and patients!


How unethical to be trying to find other MTs ID numbers

They asked you about your current employer. What's unethical about that? nm
