no, not an idiot about DEP/DQS

Just a victim of the usual lack of consistency with MQ...I was told it was DEP at first, then when they started throwing the DQS term around, I felt clueless...turns out it is one and the same.


That said, there should not be any difference in a program in lines if you were on DEP/DQS..but who knows anymore, it could have been XY&Z but really AB&C platform and who knows what they'll call it next year


IDIOT?
Hmmm,  sounds like a management email from them.  Dork.  How's that?
Then you are an idiot.

I as in idiot.
That is what a simple answer to a question about the acronym code for a conference call was called.  If this is who I think it is, that was so ugly.  You are not the first, we have had at least 10.
I am such an idiot!
Thanks for answering me, though. Speech recognition... : )
You would be an idiot to apply to MQ
after reading all these posts. That 2300 a day would equal maybe a 1200 in DQS.
She's beyond the point of looking like an idiot.

What a jerk AND an idiot!!! LOL nm

Get a life, you idiot!!! I hope you are
You can't possibly be a happy SSer unless you just totally do not have a brain.

What an idiot this person is. Thinks he has all

the answers and really doesn't have any of them.  He doesn't know who I am and cannot comment on anything about what transpired when I worked there. 


I have absolutely no reason to lie about my experience with SS.  It was a horrible place for lots of reasons and I'll tell anyone who asks about the company my experience to spare them the headache.  IF my QA scores were down (how could they be I was in QA), if I didn't stick to my schedule, etc. and got fired I would admit that also, but none of it happened - I QUIT and H did beg me to stay. I know it is hard with all his sliminess to believe he could beg, but beg he did. 


Calling someone an idiot is not commenting... NM
.
You are the same idiot that posts on the Evil Q board...
Aren't you?  Jes wonderin.... (as they say in your neck of the woods!)
No, you blathering idiot. I was thinking of applying. I

The idiot who is saying ignore cherry pickers
has probably never had to suffer in lines and wages the consequences of a cherry-picker. People like her saying ignore it and go on are just as bad as those who condone it. Look way below, she's now personally attacking the person who called her on it!!
First, their HIPAA officer is an idiot and says to use MSN messenger for pt names.

ANYONE with any brain knows that MSN is not a secure environment for patient names, but when confronted and asked, she said yes we could say patient names in that.  A friend of mine who worked there at the same time told them that she would NOT use patient names in messenger.


i wish she had reported that idiot to the bulldogs!


You could almost put any company's name in there anymore. We are all treated like mindless idiot
i have asked for other transcritpionists email addresses to see if we could put our heads together like for example learning speech and helping each other. No deal, was just ignored. Lied to constantly just because we can't see the work. It is an insult. Wish I had never gotten into this profession. I was even excited when we could work at home thinking it was going to be more lucrative financially, and it should be but when transcription companies spend millions of dollars buying each other something is wrong, wrong, wrong.
you must really suck at your job

They suck
They are VERY unprofessional.
they suck.
true enough
And they still suck
Indian QA must be an oxymoron.  I've seen work coming from India and it's terrible.
SUCK UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trying to move up in the company? LOL!
Maybe that's why they suck.

Suck it up.
You know what?

I don't really care if you believe me or not. In fact, it's more fun for me if you believe the hype that MTs are relegated to making minimum wage. It's your pity party. Go ahead and wallow in it.

If you are actually interested in knowing how I managed to reach that level, see my post below. Or don't. No skin off my nose.

Peace.
THEY SUCK!
they are HORRIBLE to work for now, they outsource overseas and expect us to work for the amount they do there. I just left there and would recommend everyone STAY CLEAR. there is only ONE good manager there, the rest lie to you and are horrible. add to that, there is never enough work to go around, as they let the HOURLY people do all they want while the production pay ppl have to struggle to get enough $$ to make bills. at the end I was making like $5 to $7/hour there. NO FREAKIN WAY.
They suck.
Truly.
I think we all just need to suck it up and get used to it. It is the way things are now. sm
The world is shrinking and MT is far from the only industry where some jobs are going overseas.  Unless it changes in all industry it will not be changing for us either.  I don't see it stopping any time soon.  Best we can do as American MTs is prove that we are worth keeping and paying.
Those threats suck IMO
And whether or not they are actually considering offshoring, I think they know it's a red button for many MTs, and in the worst case scenario it sounds like a deliberate manipulation of their MTs feelings toward offshoring to get their desired result.

Either way, threats and manipulation is a terrible a way to extract more work from people.
Yeah, the pay does suck....
Took a pay cut, and so far, the majority of the dictators suck. Ran out of work on one account already, put me on a few other backup accounts.  NOT enjoying my experience so far. Gonna give it some more time.
Doesn't suck at all to be me

The difference may be that our employers actually have a choice whether to keep us around or not.  They make this choice every time they give us work to do, and then pay us for that work.  They never promised to love or even appreciate us, only to pay what they owe us and (we hope) treat us with fairness. 


Cards given by children to parents are more about teaching the child to think of others than rewarding the parent.  I'm quite happy I am no longer required to display ''refrigerator art.''


I never really got the card thing.  Monumental waste of paper and postage.  What counts is how you are actually treated day-by-day, not whether somebody shells out a few bucks to give you a Hallmark moment. 


Wow. So, your philosophy is, suck it up.
I certainly would not want to work with you. I have been in this business close to 30 years and when I managed nor as an MT would I ever put up with an attitude like yours. I am not cyber-bullying just IMHO you don't have to suck it up and stay anywhere, especially where death in the family is concerned. There are always other jobs, many fish in the sea, and people who treat people with respect. And now you can just suck that up.
True, plus the suck rats always
seemed to love the conference calls and tried to jump in with all kinds of stupid questions, I guess to try and make themselves look like enthusiastic eager beavers.  All they did was prolong the agony of the call.  I really like working independently. 
Benefits suck? Can you elaborate..
High insurance premiums? not enough PTO or vacation time?? What's the pay? I was told it was 9 cpl..and that doesn't sound too bad these days. 
Not the OP! The poster who told her to suck it up
xx
Suck it up and work the extra or move on!! sm
I am one of those MTs who had gotten sick. I hate to call of sick, but believe me, I could not work and then, once I was well, I stepped up and tried my best to work extra! Yes, it is the holidays and we all have a lot to do, but if the account gets behind and they get ticked, they can pull it and take their business elsewhere and where will any of us be? WITHOUT A JOB, that's where. If you don't want to do your part and step up to the plate for a company that is by FAR one of the best out there, well then you don't deserve to work for such an awesome company. Take it from someone who knows first hand, the grass is definitely NOT greener elsewhere. Look at all the MTs out there complaining that they don't have any work. I would much rather be in our situation than in theirs. I, personally, plan to work my tail off this week to help get things back in TAT! I wholeheartedly cannot imagine that QT is doing any kind of outsourcing! They have said all along that they do not support this! I hate coming on and reading things that are not backed up with FACTS. If you can't give solid evidence about the accusations you are making, then just zip it! Sorry for the long post, but it gets me fired up to see this company getting bashed when it does not deserve it!
I work for them...benefits this year suck
God help us if we get sick. They deductible is sky high and no meds coverage. I can't believe they boinked us that way. I'm checking into other companies.
Benefits suck, pay sucks, they will bug the crap out of you!

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
...
Beth, you need to grab an extra six-pack and suck um down.
xxxxxxxxxx
Yep, they're definitely up there pretty high on the SUCK list
another evil company
and before anyone asks, I am not a suck up and I am not mgmt. I am an MT who needs insurance becaus
my husband losing his job last year and his new company having an outrageously high plan.
Early on in the thread, a poster told the OP she should just suck it up and do the job.
Sounds like this is the suck it up poster trying to back out of what she said.
Sure, come here and keep it quiet. haha sm

haha, I think she just did, on this board!

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
