Hahaha! Pitiful and ridiculous comment. A lot of posters, as 1 poster even mentioned
in this thread, immediately stop reading a post full of GRAMMAR mistakes, NOT typos, before getting the 'issue.'
How can one respect the opinion of a poster whose grammar is a catastrophy, especially from an MT?
The 1st question that pops into my head is, 'How did this person get an MT certificate?' I am not talking about typos, incorrect grammar only.
Maybe the poster wasn't here last year!
industry and aren't as long in the tooth as we are. LOL. Be kind. It was just an innocent quick question. Lots of MTs discover this website on a daily basis. How about a warm welcome or no answer at all if you can't be nice?
I wasn't responding to the original poster.
I was responding to the poster above who said women were being exploited.
That wasn't my experience there. I wasn't on that kind of all-inclusive acct, either. nm

So is MDI-MD separate from MDI-FL?
thanks again for this info!
MDI is a separate company..
In terms of things changing at the whim of Transcend upper management, Liz is part of Transcend upper management. As founder of MDI, she has a major part of the final say in any decisions made.
Two separate companies - nm

So 5 separate MTs have not been paid?
Am I counting these separate posters correctly?
Thanks for starting this thread, 'Fair Warning.' This is definitely something everyone needs to be aware of.
Best wishes and good luck to all of you who were stiffed by Landmark. I hope you're all taking whatever action necessary to collect what is rightfully (and legally) due to you!
There has been a separate board for several days, but sm
you can't see it in the left hand column when you are on the Main Board. I usually go to the Company Board, then the MQ board is listed underneath the company board to the left hand side of your screen. 
Not really. Podiatry is a separate entity IMO
They're even a DPM instead of an MD most times.
Can you do a C&P of these into a separate folder so they will always be handy for you? nm
:+
I certainly hope they were two separate positions.

Other job board is separate from reg. message

they will remain 2 separate entities
cbay and MQ. As far as buying them out, Cbay has bought 70% shares from Phillips Electronics who originally had the interest of stocks. Cbay was only able to do this through 2 huge financial corporations one located in UK and the other in the US. we will remain under the financial guidance of cbay holdings who is currently going through changes in management.
I have steady work and see my primary work steadily throughout the day with 2 other accounts. The pay could be better since they reduced the rate when doing ASR work but it is still higher than other companies pay for ASR. You have to speak up for yourself when you feel you deserve a raise. They won't come to you so make sure you go to them when you feel its time. I try to stay positive and throughout the major changes which started about 2 years ago I have remained here when I thought I would not last and there were always people doubting they would not last. I even went to work for another company and decided to go back to MQ. Maybe it was not the right fit but it takes time finding the right one and I still might explore other opportunities but I have gained so much experience here as far as medical transcription is concerned.
Hope this helps a lot. good luck to you.
separate account for taxes
I actually set up a separate account and deposit 35% of each check into that account to pay for taxes... it's the Feds, 14% for social security, state, and local at least for me in the state of PA. File quarterly to avoid any penalty....
I wonder if referring to 2 separate post?s
I disagree, if a job is posted there is no reason not to give out the lowest to highest rate offer for the advertised position They know what they will offer FOR THE POSITION.
happens in other posted jobs all the time -- all the time, it is listed on the job opening. This saves both sides time
why not, only to find out some low rate you would not have bothered with, sent in a resume, tested for or interviewed for. I forgot one time -- forgot to PRE- check it out, got to interview and it was 7.5. What a waste (both sides) actually, but more for the MT wasted a lot of time.
Dental and vision are separate and extra. sm
I don't know how much, though, because I tossed the info on it as the provider list for the dental was SO LIMITED it wasn't even worth it, I couldn't get any dentist I wanted.
Naaa, can put it on one sheet but you'll have a separate
column(s) for ASR figures.
It's a separate company with different ways of doing things
Transcend is a public company and owned by shareholders, and MDI is a major shareholder.
I have been at MDI for several years and I have not noticed any change in the way it is run.
SoftScript has a separate path division.
But they don't seem to have many openings and when they do, they are offered to the MTs already there.
open separate account, put in 25% to be safe.
nm
Transcription South and TSI are 2 separate companies
nm
ShortHand is a separate program you buy. ESP is what comes within ExText. nm
s
& send separate checks for OT after MT reminds them
//
Haha Hey, I know! ....
I'm not the pro-Spheris or pro-MQ cheerleader everyone thinks I am.
There are some items that could definitely use some tweaking or revamping!
Oh ok...haha....sm
I was about to say Hey, where is my downtime pay? But that sounds like you have a great set-up with your job....at least you know you will get some sort of pay. Too bad everyone doesn't get that!
HaHa
Haha!!

haha
Sorry, but I thought I was the only one living in BFE...LOL.
Haha
Medquist is now owned by Indians. I think people just left before they were let go down the road.
haha
...
Webmedx has 6 paid holidays a year, separate from PTO, for full time employees.
x
Sure, come here and keep it quiet. haha sm
haha, I think she just did, on this board!
x
funny haha??
Actually the funny thing was that there was always just one I like them post - not that you would not use your name. I am glad you had no bad experiences, like I said that is one. No personal problem here - I put my running shows on some time ago. Sorry you took things so personally - was not my intention.
haha - if it says "USA", then it's probably
x
LOL HAHA LMAO, etc.
Funny how all the people who claim to think VR is the greatest, simplest thing since the microwave also come back later to state that they have alternate sources of income. Based on their postings, I suspect some of their other income comes from writing fiction.
HaHa...you are contradicting yourself
You just said that you were supposed to start working around noon the other day. Why would you have to send an email saying that you would be starting late if you don't have a schedule? You are contradicting yourself.
I am done with the back and forth with you. If you like working for them, good for you. ICs are not supposed to be locked into a schedule like an employee. If you were truly an IC, there would be no need to email anyone to tell them that you were going to be starting 'late'.
The only reason an IC should have to email them is if they were not able to work at all on a particular day.
They are breaking the law and they will be dealt with. Me and one other person in this thread have worked there and been treated like an employee when we were ICs. I am sure there are others.
HAHA DUH...Guess what?
Those MTSO recruiters take valuable time to sift through hundreds of applications to try to pick out the most qualified, best 'fit' for an account. At what point do you feel that perhaps someone of perhaps a little less experience but a lot more flexibility didn't have her application tossed off the pile to make room for YOUR just-for-curiosity application?
You waste people's time, resources and money when you apply willy-nilly just to see 'what's out there' when the job market is so desperate right now.
So, I'm afraid that VERY mature DUH, HAHAHAHA is back on YOU, my fellow MT.
I'm not the one wasting everyone's time applying for jobs I really don't want when I'm happy where I'm at.
Haha! I can too! ANY defense at all of such
And might I just add, what slimy little WORMS all suits really are! They sell their integrity and their souls for their do-nothing jobs in an already top-heavy industry. Considering the mood of their workforce these days, I'd actually be SCARED to be one of them right now.
Yes, MQ has known all these years. My typo!! Haha
...
20% increase in production - haha!
haven't they been repeating over and over to you that you WILL see a 20% increase in production RIGHT AWAY!! after you conquer DQS then they're going to throw ASR at you and swear up and down that you'll have a 25% in production and they're going to cut your baseline rate by 20% to become a Medical Editor -- doesn't that sound just peachy!! i recalculated my last check with my MT work and my ME work and it came out to be $50 less because of the 20% decrease on my baseline rate for the honor of doing ME work (i have until 10/1/05 before the cut takes place). Oh, but you have your choice of doing 100% MT work and keeping your baseline rate, but guess what you'll be getting the docs that the voice recognition system can't do, therefore, you will probably see a 25% decrease in production. Heck, now as it is, the VR program can't pick up the little words like an, and, in, etc right and it's even leaving out very, very clear words that a very, very clear dictator is saying, so you figure how you're going to have a 25% increase on production when you're pecking nonstop on the keyboard like when you first started typing on a manual typewriter?? Tell me again, how grateful we're supposed to be for working at MQ? And, yes, I know I can go to MTJobs.com and find another job, but you know what, there's principles and if we just walk away from how we're being treated we're just going to be treated like that at another MQ-like company. Something needs to be done so they know that we don't appreciate being treated like someone with a 5th grade education.
haha (but not really funny, it is sad). You can do so much better...(no message)
xx
Haha ... you're funny ... lol. nm
haha - actually I kinda' like it better as a DO-DO list! nm
.
Thanks so much for you message...haha...just curious
since they expect perfection do they pay okay? THANKS!!
Haha! all too funny! sounds
like they require no experience on the executive level as well!
question - they don't pay for headers but who's to say they really don't charge for them?
no idiot, been there and they suck haha
Let me know when you wanna play with the big people. On one job, I make $23/h plus incentive. Full benes. 20 weeks PTO/yr. Second job REAL IC pays 11 cpl including headers/spaces. Now, who is jealous? Not that you would admit it. LOL. Now, go make your hard earned sucky money LOL
Haha! LMAO! Right! What is PHASING?????nm
nm
Yes, here you go, toodle-loo and fly a kite! Haha, nm
nm
Haha!! Brilliant move!!
I did the same thing once when I worked in-house. The cherry-picker ended up being written-up. That's the way it should be. The good employees should have a fair shake of things. Too bad people like sm will defend them. Yes, revenge is sweet LOL. Justice!
