Can you call Becky at 630-739-5520? Something must obviously have gone wrong. She can sm
rectify it.
There must have been something wrong ... please give either Becky or Lee a call as soon as you sm
see this.  Becky is at 630-739-5520 and Lee at 630-553-3680.  I know they are both in today as I had a payroll question (overpaid) and just talked to Lee.
I'm sure if you call the office they would say why.

Why not call the office and ask them. THey have
been talking cheaper insurance for years. 
Why don't you just call the office and ask where
your piece of the pie is? I'm sure if you demand something you will get it!
Call the office - SM
We have a new HR person now. Just call the office and they will make sure that you are taken care of.
You need to call the office if you are finding this. They will fix it. They did for me and it has
great for the past 19 months since I did that.
Hardly ever happens. I suggest you call the office. (sm)
Must be a problem with your connection. 
Call their 800 office number and ask nm.
nm
They definitely don't take that long, so please call the office.

Agree....call the office and ask (sm)
for Becky, then tell her what is going on.
Call the office and hopefully they will follow up with more work. nm

Why not call the corporate office / payroll? nm
.
Call Anthony at the office and let him know you are waiting or if you have sm
S. Cryer's email address, send an email to her and she will help you. She is the one who trained me. If this does not get deleted, it is scryer@softscript.com


That's a shame -- did you call the office? Maybe they sent your shirt to someone else sm

and they got the wrong size too.  Just a thought. 


Does anyone happen to have the number to call Amherst MQ office. Thanks much.
:
I would send in your resume or call the office. Some accounts do not
use phone lines at all and are internet only. My account is an 800# but I am not sure if there are any openings on my account.
I started 2 weeks to the day. I would call the office direct if I were you. sm
That does not sound right. Maybe the person you are working with dropped the ball. I would call the office. They are there until 5:30 or later on Fridays. (630)553-3680. This is not private info. It is on their ad.
Get proactive!!! Pick up the phone and call the office?? NM

Call the office and ask to speak w/ Debbie Hood
nm....
I have been there 4 years and there are many happy MTs. Call the office, not the sour grapes on thi
ss
Talk to your leads or call the main office to see if you can get a backup account...
I have been there for over a year too and have always had plenty of work...
Can anyone from the Ohio MQ office give me a contact person and a phone number to call so I can talk
to someone there without getting a lot of other people involved before I find out what kind of accounts they have to offer. I am interested in transferring from my current office but would like to speak with someone up there first. Even an email address of someone would help.
Yes, they offer I think 4 weeks at full pay or 8 weeks at half pay. Call the office
and talk to them about it. You wont lose your job. They aren't like that.
Becky/OSI
Thanks for the info.  I was worried about her as she never mentioned her plans to move on.
Becky/OSI
I don't know about that. I sent an email to OSi when I couldn't get in touch with her, and Beth Spratling, the new recruiter, told me she no longer works for OSI.
Becky is a sweetheart!
Hope she is doing alright. She is one of the good eggs there.
To Becky who emailed

One software is Dictaphone Extext and Dictaphone Exspeech.  The best part about it is that you can look up old reports by patient, doctor, etc.  It has a good shortcut program that I imported from a previous job.


Another software is Escription (or Editscript).  This is what a lot of companies are using now and it is great and better in my opinion than ExsSpeech.


About the people in the home office, yes they are very receptive and supportive from management to support to QA. 


About QA, they are strict in terms of major mistakes but most of them do not nitpick on little things (some do though).  They are strict in terms of account specifics and if you are familiar with that you will do okay.  If you don't follow it they will let you know.  It took me about a week to get off QA but I don't think that is set in stone.  Some people get off earlier and some stay on QA longer. 


We don't have a limit to the number of reports we can type the first day.  That is one reason I like Transtech so much.  My previous jobs limited me to a certain number which really can hurt the pocketbuck.  Not so with Transtech.


I don't think that many companies actually pay you for a holiday if you are off but we have PTO that we use.  The thing with Transtech is that they pay you time and a half if you work on a holiday and it doesn't matter if you are not scheduled to work.  They said if you are willing to work on a holiday then you deserve the extra pay.  At my previous job we only got the bonus if it was a scheduled workday.


I would average 1200 to 1400 lines a day with traditional typing and about 2500 with speech but I am still getting used to speech so think that will go up.  Also they have a tier system where the more lines you get the more you get paid per line.


The benefits are very affordable.  We have Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Georgia.


They have some Monday-Friday jobs with weekend rotation.  It may depend on the account.  I work Tuesday-Saturday because I asked for it.


Yes you can work extra even if you are not scheduled but you would need to check to make sure there are plenty of jobs left for the MT's that are scheduled.


You can get backup accounts if you run out of work.  Not a problem.


Transtech is the best company I have worked for.  They don't require you to check in with IM and they leave you alone to do your work.


I hope I have answered your questions. 


 


I got my foot pedal today, just as Becky
said I would. I'm excited to get started with KS! I have emailed Becky every day and left messages for her and she has always gotten back to me in a timely manner!
You are thinking of Rebecca W., Becky went to Medware.
Becky totally left OSi in August
I was hired, called by Becky, sent the paperwork, sent it in sm
and waited two weeks for an ID. I have been working for three weeks now and it is great. Obviously, your situation was unique as I came to KS on the recommendation of two of my ex-co-workers and they had no problems either, both with KS for a few years. Get over it. If you want to work for them, call and talk to them. If you don't, move on. Why are you rehashing the same thing over and over. What do you want the outcome to be?
What happened to Becky Ross, the recruiter. Her name is no longer on the ads?? nm
x
Hey Becky Ross - How the heck are you? How's your head?Haven't talked to you since
your tumor was removed.
The main office was in Bolingbrook but they built an office in Yorkville last fall. SM
I think that the owners live in Yorkville, so it was built close to their house. Nice office, just pretty far out.
Just curious, is the MQ Nashville office the old Lanier office? nm
nm
I don't work in the office and never claimed to. I am just saying that since the new office open
October with everyone of the admin staff in one place, these problems do not occur any more.
Can't get paid in the office if you don't work in the office.
JLG has MT's working at home, not in the office, not to mention working out of state.  The mail is the only way to get paid since they have temporarily suspended direct deposit.  The only ones getting paid on time are the ones that do work in the office, like the management and people answering the phone. 
Closed FW office, Indianapolis office too. nm
xx
Yes, call waiting works. I also have call forwarding from my home line
NM
No, but I will email the Moderators as soon as I find the email. You know it's the truth, Becky.

You can call it greed, I call it feeling like
I am back in the 80s with the money I am pulling in. SS, retirement check and my paycheck, cha-ching. Not planning on taking it with me, never. Love to travel and have 4 places planned for this year. High maintenance lady here. Ta-Ta.
Which office?
/
been through three office changes in the last 10

Went from 7 cents a line to now 9.5 cpl, on this current account going on three years, the one before that, five years, and the one before that two.  My opinion, i'm a good MT and they treat me as such.  Do you work your schedule?  Do you do PLUS lines while maintaining quality?  Are you up their butt constantly asking for raises?  Take tons of time off?  They are weeding out the awful MTs by starving them of work!!! 


Which office is this.
:
Are you an MT in the office currently
I do not know which office you are from; if you are hearing rumblings,it is probably true. Many offices are closing and I do not know why. I was told my office was closing because there was no need for it?? It closed this September. Is your office being transferred to another region?

I am sure you will keep your position but at what cost I do not know. I am still waiting for the PACKET to come and I am nervous about that myself.

You are not alone. We are all feeling this re-structuring and in my opinion things do not look good.

Try not to let it get to you too much. MQ is not worth it.
I have been upset for 3 months now and will be making a big decision on what to do in the next few weeks.

Hope things work out for you.
what office are you with? nm
;
I sent one to the office, too. nm

TT office help
I have had plenty of work too. I guess it depends what accounts you are on. As far as office help, I always get a prompt response to any question or need I have. Why would it matter how much office work they have?
TT office help
I mean why would it matter how much office help they have, duh!
They also have an office in ....sm
southwestern Indiana, but when you call that office you speak to an Indian male. Go figure.
THAT MQ office does sound bad!
Keep in mind, they are not all the same.  In 7 years of working for them, I've never had an experience remotely like that.  My immediate supervisor will respond to my emails within the hour and my regional manager will respond at least the same day, usually within a couple of hours.  I have never not received a pay check on time.  I don't doubt she is telling the truth, but she got a bad apple.  Doesn't mean they're all that way!
