So, who is the new president now?
nm
VR couldn't take us down, but now the president is going to.

I wish I wouldn't have came on here today, now I have one more thing to worry about in this time of woes with the economy.  This really sucks. 


Voice recognition couldn't take over, we may have lost a few jobs, but now the president is going to dictate how the transcription gets done.  He is the only one who will be left with a job, or should I say jobs.  He is the jack of all trades now.  Cars, banks, now transcription!


I really feel bad for the millions of women, yes women as this is mainly a women oriented business.  I have only met about 3 males who actually did transcribing in the past 25 years of this career.  So this is also a discrimination against women, the many women that were able to make better than minimum wage and stay home with their kids during their early years will now have to go find who knows what, the one only opening at Walmart to try to support her family. 


This just makes me sick.  Why do we need to have a shortened medical record made by templates just because the president thinks it will be better. 


I can only say I hope he legalizes prostitution before he gets rid of transcription.  Because this may be the only option left, (only joking, hope it doesn't come to this point).  


Yeah this free insurance sounds real great.  At least while we are sitting at home wondering what to do we can try to break a leg or an arm just to get into that wonderful hospital setting where we can have room and board and 3 squares a day. 


We should all start a petition or write to the white house, calling this discrimination, that's the only thing that gets attention in this country.  Discrimination against this mainly women oriented industry and their children. 


I can only pray that this doesn't happen.  God bless us all who do this grueling job. 


OK, maybe I'll run for president

Thanks for your suggestions.  All women on the verge of turning 50 are delighted at the prospect of changing careers - and so are the employers to hire them.


I haven't been in this profession very long - less than 10 years.  So I DO have other work experience.  Competing with girls half my age in the current job market is such a thrilling prospect, I'll get right on it.  My skills with addressographs, mimeograph machines, hand-kept books, selectric typewriters, etc. are in SUCH demand I know I'll blow past those whippersnappers like a blazing comet!  After all, I've forgotten more software programs than they know, because I was all about computers before they were cool!


Email was from the president/CEO, dated 6/19. nm

Email for Proveros President

At least the president of the company must have some class.  This is an email I just received from him:


Hi Marla -

 

Your numbers are correct. I am so sorry!! I am sending you another check today via FedEx for the full $67.58.  Please keep the first check for $39.00 in return for your frustration and time.

 

I will have the second tracking number sent as well.

 

Thanks for all your time and again our sincerest apologies.

 

Steve

What do you mean the president is going to dictate how transcription gets done?
I don't think the President has any feelings whatsoever in how transcription gets done. His idea is to go to EMR - that has nothing to do with not having transcription - that has to do with the way the transcription is stored - electronically, not paper.

I worked for a hospital that has had EMR for years now and believe me, we had more transcription waiting on us every day than we could possibly do.
Clinton also left this president a SURPLUS
Because now he has created the LARGEST DEFICIT IN THE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY. By the time he's done, there will be no US - we'll be a satellite branch of China or Japan.
I got the same email from the president of AAMT today but like
you say, a day late, a dollar short. I think they would best serve themselves by staying away from the Heartland employees. I personally do not know how they can hold their heads up with what has happened to our industry. I believe in global economy, but what they did was wash us right out of it.
Yes, it's true. The CEO and President and everyone who works in the office all came from L&H.
Also many of their QA staff and MTs.
Like becoming President? I don't follow your line of thinking.

I know that payday is on the 15th, but since the 16th is President's Day, sm

do you think we will be paid on Friday like we were last payday?  This is only my 2nd payday, so I was just curious.  If I have to wait until the 17th, then so be it.  I don't want to be lectured by those I have seen about people expecting to be pair early.  As I said, it happened before, and I just wondered.  Since it is getting late and I have not yet received an email with my paycheck stub, it is looking like probably not. 


Thanks! 


I'm just curious -- where do you bank that is open on President's Day? sm

I mean no harm -- I am just truly curious.   I just moved to the Denver area from Kansas, and there is a chain of banks here that is open on Sunday, which was a surprise to me just with that.  I didn't know that there were banks that were open on holidays too -- that would be great!  Well, sorta great ... I'd get my deposits anytime, but then again my checks would come bouncing an anytime too ... oops!  LOL 


I haven't worked at Keystrokes very long, but they have been fair with me.  I am disappointed that I have to wait until Tuesday to be paid, but it certainly is not a deal breaker.  I have a part-time job as wlel.  But I have certainly been in those situations where a day or two was critical, so I emphathize to those who truly NEED to be paid as soon as possible.


Anyway, again, I meant no harm by my post.  I just am truly curious about banks that are open on holidays. 


 


I wrote AAMT, the President, and my senators tonight...sm
I'm also going to write my local paper and contact some news organizations.
