My 401K with Spheris did not lose value.
I was placed in Wells Fargo Safe Funds by the management company.

Though, when the market fell, I stopped contributing. I cannot see the point in contributing now since I struggle to pay the bills. God help me in 15-20 years though.


So SE lose their SE bonus, lose the ability to work as much or little as they want and just
basically lose all around with no gain that I can see. Well, good for MQ. I am sure a lot of people will be moving on.
Think of it this way, if they do lose the account, you lose your job. Just do your part and be a te

Oh cool, thanks.

Cool.......

I could use a new home as well!


I'd try to keep my cool and just

call him back and remind him that you need to have everything taken care of today so you will be ready for training on Monday.  He may have had other things come up that he just had to take care of.  It might not be a case of disorganization, just a case of unforeseen circumstances on his end.  I'm sure it will be fine.  I know it's annoying but try and cut him some slack. 


 


That is so cool!
You are so lucky to have someone looking out for you and recommending a good company to you personally. I wish I had that kind of help right now. Always been with hospitals and having a really hard time working for MTSOs. Hospitals don't seem to be hiring or are through MTSO in my area, so I have no choice. But have been through the ringer, not paid correctly, not given what promised, insurance rate hike, uggg. The last 2 jobs I worked entirely for insurance and I just don't know what to do these days. You have an angel looking out over you. I hope someone e mails me someday with a great choice! And I hope someday this stress goes away! Good luck in your new situation and with that kind of support, sounds like you will do well! :)
Cool! Thanks!
Now I'll just have to remember to enter all of my lines in on Monday!
Cool, thanks!!!

Cool, thanks.

I think it would be cool!
I wanna do it now and I have 4 kids and a husband.  Hmm, maybe that IS why I want to do it!  LOL 
Don't know, but cool last name you have!
You are missing a wonderful opportunity to have an opinion column or blog! McBurney's Point would be an awesome name for an MT blog!
Cool! :) Thanks for the update! NM

cool change--sm
I sat back all day yesterday and watched the *backlash* you had wanted to start. It is unbelievable the twists and turns a post can take. Interesting! but entertaining, to say the least..thanks!
mean and nasty is not cool..

Even though you disagree with us, it's cool
that you can make an observation without accusing others of acting like children fighting over a piece of candy. Thanks! It's cool that at least SOME MTs can still agree to disagree without bashing each other.
Just went to their website, cool...
and there's one located near where I live. When I first started out in the hospital, I worked as a lab clerk/receptionist and did some transcription and since then have done acute care for 30 odd years. I told myself maybe if things keep going downhill I would check out the labs. But looks like I'd need more schooling anyway. Here's a job at Labcorp that sounded interesting, hope this comes through:

Cool.....then from what I can figure out the company
Ny DoX out of New Delhi, India. What I want to know is how in the world would one of us (QT employee) get this kind of information in the first place?

MD-IT hiring - looks like a really cool company to work for... any advice/information?
I sure would love to know more about the company - a search of this forum turned up zilch.  I was with Medquist for 8 years, and the company I went to did not deliver on the acute care account I was hired for..... 
I never knew that a message board had the strength to negotiate with an MTSO. How cool is that? Who

no exp with this, but what have you got to lose?

I think its use it or lose it. (sm)
Can't carry it over year to year.  I think if you don't use what you have earned before your termination day you lose it, most calculate what they have and take it in lieu of working their last day or 2.  I would call them directly on the telephone and ask though.  Forget the email, talk to a real person with the answer in the HR dept.
Use it or Lose it?
How can this be? If you are leaving the company, then you evidently cannot use it. There is ridiculous.
Well, you'd lose that bet... :)
Re: I'm betting, though, that you just want stay on these boards to stir the pot and whine.

Sorry, you'd lose that bet, but thanks for that useful information anyway.

Curious: Why are you judging me so harshly? My post was to see WHO would step up to helping RESEARCH the possibilities...



Let's not lose this
http://forum.mtstars.com/company/v/1/70000.html
Did you lose this job from the

good company because they expected you to work?  To look at it as a real job?


When people who work at home only work when they feel like it, it reflects on the rest of us.  Maybe that contributes to the our salaries going down and being offshored.  We don't look like we need or want to work. 


Thanks for the contribution to our demise.


 


You'd lose that bet
because if MY company sold for 16.7 million, I absolutely WOULD have given all 450 people a decent bonus. (The world is full of stingy people, but I am not one of them).

I can tell you the news of the merger would have gone over MUCH better had she shared her good fortune with the folks who helped her acquire it.

So its nice for you to come to this person's defense but I don't believe she didn't CLEAR enough to share.
Because they will lose more experienced MTs...
And they need to ensure that they have enough people to handle the accounts.  If they bait the newbies with the good $ now, then they can put them on editing and cut the pay later but will have a large enough work force to handle the work.  That is the reason for the lack of work right now.  They have overhired in anticipation of the mass exodus that is currently happening and will continue to happen over the next couple of months.  The newbies will be brainwashed with the good pay into believing that Transcend is the best thing since bubble gum and will try to make it work because, as you may know, when you are a newbie, you are happy to get that first good MT job and are more willing to put up with the BS while they work the kinks out of the system, etc., whereas seasoned MTs aren't going to put up with that crap.
lose our jobs?
But, that is what we are already doing. I say UNITE - Now! Is it so difficult to see where this is all going? It is all aimed offshore - bit by bit. The only way we will survive is to get together and make them listen by STRIKING. We are being used, abused, and discarded. They are smiling all the way to the bank. What fools we are.

Be aware. There are company shills and spies on this and every board out there - be careful -
this is true and I don't want to lose a/c's..nm

How could they lose an account?!
Too many goodbye e-mails for my liking, too. Makes me just a bit nervous to see Indians leave an Indian-dominated company.

Worse yet is the idea that they LOST a client! How on EARTH could something like that happen?

Use your company medical, dental, and eyecare benefits, people--you don't know what tomorrow could bring.
until you lose your job to offshoring sm
your colors will change then.

What a rude comment for you to make at an emotional time.
and they lose them every month.
My supervisor was horrible. Ms. Tomato, we called her.
They may, but they'll just lose them due to the same
quality issues that caused QT to lose the main account in the first place.  The only thing is QT was still supposed to QA the work so once again management let us down.  
No you will lose your benefits
I just quit WMX a few weeks ago, but worked there almost 3 years. You do not lose your benefits if you can't make your hours because of lack of work availability. However, you COULD lose them if you don't work your scheduled hours and don't account for them with PTO or non-paid time off, per your supervisor.
If you are afraid you will lose your job.....

Then go find something different to do.  It's not difficult.  But do not claim that this is a national security issue when it is not.


Snooze, you lose.

I'm with ya, too. If MTIA causes me to lose
I'll just have all that extra time (while collecting Unemployment, of course) to help you push them over the cliff, too. And the last thing those self-righteous biddies in AHDI/MTIA want is to tick me off. Notta good idea.
my experience lately is they do anything to get, then everything to lose you.
Like we are not going to find out the lies in the first week. What a job. I had management trying to explain to me something they wanted to do for me, but benefited them. I actually laughed in the person's face. What an insult to our intelligence to bold face lie and then expect us to be dewey eyed and say yes, more, more, I love abuse.
