Ok. Let's have a chat about medical transcriptionists. Particularly ones who work for the state lab. And the ones who can't tell the hand-written name 'Cannon' from 'Connor'. Because while we're attacking people randomly for their jobs, I'd like to blame you for delaying my newborn's screening test results. Yeah. Thanks medical transcriptionists. Would software have made a difference? Who knows?!
Seriously though. Since when does the worker-bee have any input in whether or not their job goes overseas? A monkey could do my job (not my boss. he's lower on the food chain than a monkey, apparently), and if they decide to (try to) save a few bucks and send it to India or China, what recourse do I have? My company in particular has also dug ourselves into a hole with custom-built software that is clunky and difficult to upgrade and train people on. It makes the job HARDER for us, but provides a small amount of job security. I'm all for standardizing with the rest of the industry, even if it makes my job a little less secure - it means I'll have an easier time (and be more productive) while I'm doing it.
I'd tell this person just what you said here: You know nothing about me, my work ethic, and my previous working history. Why even bring me into this?
Out of curiosity, why hasn't this particular thread been locked? If it's devolved to this state, why keep it going?
