Time to go! I did. I was tired of drowning. sm [2008-08-17]
I finally got fed up enough, went to MTJobs.com, applied at 10 places, got 8 replies, picked the best company that suited my needs and finally climbed out of the cesspool.
I started on my new job today. New platform and only 1 day of training and 20 reports to QA and I was released. I made almost twice as many lines on my first day than I would have with MQ because the platform is fantastic andthe voice recognition is a walk in the park.
People answer when you email them too!
I actually got a call from the MQimpact center this afternoon and I was like, I'm sorry, but I quit and my last day was Friday. They didn't even know.
Go for it!
drowning too, which is unusual for me [2008-05-16]
drowning [2008-05-16]
18 jobs, and 11 of those are different accounts which I have never done before and all ESL and have to look up every client profile which takes about 10 minutes to read and re-read before I can figure it out so that is over 100 minutes of down time (almost 2 flippin' hours), so that does not make any lines. I have 700 lines in 6 hours.
I have been doing this over 30 years, almost 10 of them with this company. and I threaten every day to quit. I also ask the neighbors if they hear me screaming and there are days I sit and literally cry. I too, used to actually enjoy working here, but that has all changed. Emailing the PS and QKL makes no difference (and I am on my third ones since November), and they really don't care, so. . . here I am still venting and crying. The fact of starting over somewhere else is scary too.
I even compared my line counts and number of reports a day to what I was doing last year and down about 5000 lines per pay period and down 15 jobs per day and pay checks down $400 to $500 per pay check from a year ago. How sad!!
Thanks for letting me put my 2 cents in here. Maybe now someone else picked up that nasty job I was about to get. My only saving grace for this week, I am off to see Bill Cosby at a casino a couple hours away and spending the weekend there, and not even thinking about MQ.
why yes, if you can throw a chocolate bar while drowning, it is truly an awesome day...sm [2008-01-16]
hope you have a great afternoon filled with only your primary accounts and the good tasting no-calorie chocolate for the rest of the day!!
Bleh, bleh, bleh - drowning in the cesspool [2007-12-25]
I have not had 1 report on my usual accounts all day! This reeks!
Is everybody drowning in the wonderful world of cesspool [2007-12-18]
today? South region here. Been getting JUNK for the last couple of hours. YUCK!
I'm drowning in a sea of crappy reports! [2007-10-19]
Different accounts of which I know nothing about.. doctors who would take a year of listening to get used to.... my own account... where the hell is it?
Why.. medquist,, why.. why are you tormenting us so! Not a question.
Do you want production? Do you want us to be quality-oriented? You say you do? No you don't.. not really..
I hope I die doing this and on my tombstone I want written....She never got that damned report done!
Drowning.... [2007-10-19]
I know I'm not alone, and I'm truly sorry. It would seem we're all in the same boat, but the water is just too choppy today.
That's the dumbest thing I've ever said. But, hey.. my brain is totally fried this day, and I've still a ways to go!
Drowning... [2007-10-19]
Oh well.. Just think!
I'll make a WHOLE DOLLAR today!
Same here and now I am drowning in the cesspool! [2007-09-03]

QA drowning in national work pool [2007-07-22]
Did The Q not forsee that this was going to happen or was it part of their master plan? Wait, don't answer,I think I can figure it out for myself. It seems that the only thing themanangement of thiscompany can do consistently wellis makebone-headed and short-sighted decisions. Of course that is JMHO.
Help, I feel like I'm drowning. I appreciate the [2007-07-12]
positive post regarding our ability to bounce around between several accts and I am trying to be positive, I really am. I have been working for 1 hour and have only typed 3 reports from 3 new accts. I am in tears right now. I think this is just too much to ask of us ESPECIALLY AT MY PAY!!! Again, before statutory was taken away and E-time added, I never, ever, EVER ran out of work. Oh, as far as QASAR scores, in the past maybe a 0.25 off here or there for stupid things (usually I was correct anyway, according to BOS and PS), now I am constantly getting marked off. The sad thing is we can all work until our fingers bleed to master all these accts but when that happens, they will change it once again. This job is really making me ill and I really do not make enough money to work this hard. Sorry I am venting but family and friends won't listen anymore. I am going to check the job board, and the newspaper. I can't believe we are all accepting this.
re. drowning [2007-07-12]
I would say we are not accepting this, we're doing it just for the time beig... I think most of us are looking elsewhere and that takes time! UGH!
Cesspool miser [2008-09-11]
Boss is away, and it seems someone has changed the work priorities around. Not one report from my primary account, which the boss has been frantic about for the past 2 weeks. Trauma drama with losing account. Guess MQ has no one to blame but themselves if account goes away at this point. At least, the BOSS tries to stay on top of this account. drowning in cess!!!!
SA1 [2008-09-05]
Anyone had any word on when the cesspool will end for us? I haven't had my primary in so long. My super said things would be put right in September... Today I'm ready to throw in the towel. I've emailed my super asking for something to hang on to. I have a job interview outside of MTing in two weeks and if the money is right I'm going to have to give this up. I just can't take it any more and my bills are mounting! Is it just me?? I hate to whine, but I'm drowning. Anybody have any ideas??
Sorry forgot to finish - How do you [2008-08-14]
think those people who post on here only get a primary while others are still drowning in the cesspool?? Also if you read here even on a rate basis you will see where some people make 10.5 cpl while others are making 7 CPL. Do you think this is a mistake??? Believe me they are pulling all our strings and only a few are lucky enough to be protected by management....
Just curious but how many MTs have negotiated [2008-08-10]
and are doing just their primary accounts.
I'm drowning in the cesspool getting hit with new vague client profiles left and right.
Can't wait till my last day at MQ.
Blame it on the cesspool! [2008-04-09]
Nice try, but no, I don't think so. Almost any MT could have done better -- especially since this one was a tier 3. Words like meatus, turbinates, cyst, microdebrider and several others are not that tough, especially for a tier 3. QAs are drowning in the cesspool too, so this just isn't a good excuse.
Has anyone complained to their PS about [2008-03-31]
Just wondering if anyone has complained to their PS about the current work pool situation and if so what kind of response you received. I spoke with my PS a couple weeks ago about it and she told me to wait a couple weeks and see if I start getting my primary more, but I have not. I (along with others I know) am drowning here. I feel like I am working so hard and am not making a decent paycheck for it.
I have a friend who works for MQ as well and she is completely happy. She did get some of the work pool early on, but now hasherprimary all of the time.I just want some adviceon what to do. I have been looking for other jobs, but I need somethingflexible because I have a 4 month old andso I have to work aroundmy husband's schedule.
Thanks in advance for any response!!
Not a job I would particularly want either (sm) [2008-02-19]
but at least their pay is consistent! They probably make more $ than I do when I am drowning in the pool!
That's because there are a lot of MTs who know the MQB truth. [2008-02-16]
They are suffering from MQ mismanagement and drowning in cesspool. I speak truth. Painful for some, but refreshing for others.
Lol--Agree. It has not increased my productivity at all. sm [2008-02-06]
Although, I will give it this....it makes a heck of a life raft while drowning. While floating in the abyss, the ASR comes up and I feel temporarily saved. It really does help me on those accounts I'm not familiar with at all, but in my primary (and back ups), all it does is slow me down and pay me less.
I received the same message today SM [2008-01-23]
about 2 different clients having problems with mistakes in their reports.
There is nothing like getting a good pep talk from the PS when you are barely surviving and then getting slapped around for doing the best you can while drowning.
Hurry, throw me a life jacket! (sm) [2008-01-16]
I am drowning in the cesspool again!
((((((((((hugs)))))))) to you! (sm) [2008-01-16]
Throwing you a chocolate bar, maybe that will help!
Have an awesome day!
Can you possibly have an awesome day while drowning? lol
Oh Rose..... [2008-01-16]
Don't you EVER have at least one decent day? Sorry, but all your messages are of drowning - as we ALL are!!
Grinch ruined my Xmas. sm [2007-12-26]
Got up yesterday morning, planning to enjoy the morning and head to my son's house for the day. Well, that came to an abrupt halt when I opened my shower door and found 2 inches of sewage and red Alabama mud covering the shower floor. Same thing in my jacuzzi tub. Same thing in 2nd bathroom tub. What a mess. Try to find a plumber on Christmas. After about 10 phone calls (I don't live in a very large town), finally got Roto-Rooter to come out. They temporarily got me back in business, at least so I could clean and Clorox thebathrooms.
It seems there is a broken sewer line in my yard, so now they are here using some camera thingy to see where the problem is, then have to get a backhoe to dig up my yard, to the tune of $1500. Merry Christmas to me!
Besides that, today I am drowning in the work cesspool since there is no work on my accounts. I want to cry.
Help! Need advice/info asap!! [2007-11-26]
Does anyone know (without having to read a 100-page handbook and digging in the archives of QNET off the top of their head, or from the grapevine exactly what happens when you give a notice to terminate? What happens to your vacation hours? Sure they are yours, but are they actually obligated to pay them out to you AFTER you give your notice, as you would be no longer an employee? Need to know, so I can take appropriate action! Thanks all, and have fun wading in the cesspool, I myself am tired of drowning my family along w/me, and am swimming for bluer waters. TTFN, it has been great chatting and I take great enjoyment reading MOST posts on this board!
bonus [2007-11-22]
gave upa long time on bonus....but just getting a few extra lines is helping me....NOT THAT MUCH....BUT ........something is better than nothing.....still drowning....
whiners vs. scarfers [2007-11-16]
there are so many sides to this - I sympathize with the MTs who are not getting their primaries and are struggling. I know it is really frustrating, and they are not wrong for hating the bonus.
I also think it is wonderful that so many MTs can earn this bonus. They have to work really hard for it and they deserve every penny, and they are not wrong for *scarfing up* as much bonus as they can.
I think the real problem here is that all of us seem to be having a different experience.
Some of us have been approved for OT.
Some of us have not been approved for OT.
Some of us are still getting our primaries.
Some of us are drowning in the cesspool.
Some of us have the flexibility and support at home to be able to do the extra work.
Some of us don't have the support or the flexibility to do the extra work.
The ones who are being accused of whining have legitimate reasons for hating this bonus.
The ones who are working hard and can take advantage of the bonus have every right to take as much as they want to, because no matter what, it is still hard work! It's not like any one of us says I want to go take all the work from another MT on an account that I've never done before MMMMWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! We have to take what we are given and every one of us would prefer our primary if we had the choice.
Yeah I know we don't all have to love each other all the time (besides, that would be boring anyway!) I'm just saying that both sides have valid feelings on this issue.
Okay I'm done, time to go back for another round of the Busting My A** For Cash Holiday Bonus.
HELP!!! [2007-11-12]
I am drowning in the MQ cesspool!
I am happy for you! [2007-11-12]
Bite my head off why don't ya!
Good for you that you are getting your primary. Good for you getting great bonus lines. Too bad it is not the same for all of us!
Could you get some of those great extra bonus lines if you were drowning in the cesspool?
Still behind after bonuses. [2007-10-23]
The bonuses do not make up for loss of daily production pay and ASR cuts. What kind of idiots does MQ think we MTs are. Also, I think MQ lost a lot of full time people who were drowning in the cesspool work. MQ is left with a lot of part time workers who don't care about bonuses and have limited time to put in to work for MQ. Those bonuses are a joke compared to what we lost on daily bonus basis.
MQ has driven away the best. [2007-10-22]
I worked for MQ all the odd hours they needed me to, weekends, evenings, anything it took to pick up the slack. Now they send updates begging people to work, offering bonuses and the work is still packed up. Why? They have driven away a lot of the good MTs who NEEDED to work and are left with part timers who aren't really dependent on MQ for a living. People who are full time supporting themselves couldn't afford to stay with MQ drowning in the cesspool making half of what they made previously. MQ has really screwed up and it's going to be hard to find MTs because MQ can't be trusted to take care of MTs interests.
ESL account [2007-10-19]
Hi, hope this is an allowable post -- has anyone had any success in getting transferred to a different primary account: If so, how? I have a main acct that is 95% ESL, VERY ESL and I have struggled with it from the beginning with lots of blanks to QA, and yes, I do try. I have asked several times to be placed on a different main acct, former super knew what it was like, was able to get new account which I never got to work on because things blew up about that time and he was one of the fired PS people. now, I can't seem to get anyone to understand that I am drowning here with this acct, with all the other cuts, etc., is slowing me down and I am near bankruptcy. keep getting told to wait a few more weeks, then get the talk about not meeting production, how can we help get your production up,, etc. for a few days this week I got lots of work from other accounts in PS BOB and a lot of ASR (which I am supposed to be getting and don't get much of normally) and it made a HUGE difference in my line cout. told supe during The Conversation and lo and behold, the next day I am getting majority of 95% ESL account again!!
sorry for the long post, please don't flame. for those of you who are thinking I just just get another job and quit bellyaching, it is not a good time for me to change jobs due to the fact I am the only caregiver for an elderly parent and I am just very discouraged.

Swimming in the cesspool? I am all over it tonight even though my primaries are drowning in backlog....Go figure that one!

What raise? [2007-10-02]
I have been here for 12 years, busting my a@@, worked an entire summer making pennies in overtime (worked every weekend, except for 2 weekends in 2005), because they were drowning in backlog. You would think they would offer something just for dedication!!! NOT!
I asked for a raise 2 months ago, was told by PS would get paperwork underway then all this BS started, and I heard nothing back...what do you think my chances are? I have yet to see a raise from this company...never once in 12 years!
The big-wigs are the ones getting richer...it certainly isn't us. Sadly, we are what makes this company move ahead.
