    Where did you obtain this
    I am a current Amphion employee and have heard nothing. Could you please reveal where you came across this info?
    Actually there are companies that can obtain any

    for a price of course.  For example if I know some very basic information about you, additional information about you is endless.  I can start with some basic info, go on to get any phone calls made in any month for the past year (incoming and outbound), find out the names of anyone else who lives or has lived at your address, get your cell phone number and get a print out of those calls, any and all email addresses you have used or are currently using, all web sites you visit... the list is endless.


    Don't think this is illegal, either.  It is quite legal and you would be surprised at the number of people who support it.


    No, I personally do not suggest that this site's administers are in cahoots with this particular employer.  I am saying anyone who wants to know anything about you can do so without your permission or knowledge.

    Does Dictaphone obtain the accounts for the companies who use Dictaphone EXText?
    I was just wondering if this is the same as it used to be.  Dictaphone installs the equipment in facilities and then gets a MTSO to take the account.  Therefore, the MT company never solicits for accounts, but Dictaphone notifes them when they have installed equipment in a hospital.
    Drop it already! ENOUGH! DONE! OVER! nm

    Is there a reason you cannot let this drop?
    We are all tired of all the nonsense, but seems to me you are tyring to continue it!
    Drop Hyphen
    Thanks for setting me straight and thanks for your time in answering.

    I think you can drag and drop it.
    Isn't that working for you?
    Did they also drop the rate?
    If this is the case, then this is why.  If not, and it is as you say, I would start sending out resumes and don't leave until you have another jobtained and even work both for a time if you can, to see if you like the place.  Some management style is punishing, they feel this is the way to do it WHERE it should be the opposite, people will work their guts out if they just be nice and fair.  Start looking for a better place. Their loss.
    I had to drop my coverage -
    I could not afford to pay the premiums as I had no work. I was basically working just to pay that.

    Also, since they paid on a tier plan, I went from making over 11 cpl to making 6 CPL at the same time. That is why they do not mind overhiring - they get the same work done for much less money, so that means more money in their pockets.
    You do realize what MQ is doing right now is exactly what Spheris does. I still think they may drop
    SE but hope not but Spheris does not have IC or SE so if there is a plan in the works MQ may just have employees.
    Hope that stays the same because it is apt to drop
    as mine did. Lot of us outsourced from a major hospital and went from salary and incentive to less than 4 months later VR at 4 cents a line, still make that but on straight it is 8 (over 30 years experience) but I average about $18.75 an hour and that is because of my speed only. When pay and incentive though over 40 thou a year so quite a drop.
    So, if your the lucky soul who gets 7.4 cpl and you drop below 98.9%, then you'd get 6.4 cpl..wow

    You can drag and drop, but under the more button you
    have to check the box that says remember player position. HTH.

    Just wondering - why would an MTSO drop

    Not disputing you or anything, I just wondered why they would do that.  It seems it is dog-eat-dog in the MTSO industry and I can't understand why they would practically give an account to a competitor. 


    Just wondering, not disputing here. 


    I believe there is a Drop Chute program but
    I don't know anything about it.
    Yes. I bought a policy when I knew I would drop below
    production levels.  It has a higher deductible than my MQ insurance but it was the almost the exact same cost.  I will never tie my health insurance to an MT job again.  Too risky. 
    Thank you for posting. I've been waiting for the axe to drop
    because I can't get up to speed. I was expecting to be able to do 250-300 lph there because I heard how great their platform was. I do love so many things about them compared to other places I've worked.
    While the acct does make a difference, the drop in pay
    will make it difficult for anyone who has been a speedy MT to make nearly the same amount of mone. It appears to me that their goal is to put all employees in the $30-35K per year range. That's not good enough for me.

    I should have listened to the warnings last year on this board last year, but that's okay - I've learned my lesson and will be starting next week with someone else who give me a CHOICE as to whether I edit or not.
    I would call or drop an email inquiring.

    Agree Completely. Will Clients Drop Us?
    Those clients surely will drop the new entity first thing. Perhaps a new entity will evolve to cover those clients and will absorb those of us familiar with them?
    Let's drop the subject. The issue has been addressed SM
    by the company and resolved.
    What scares me is a drop in pay beginning today.
    Certainly, not the training; certainly not being out of comfort zone. In all my years as an MT I have gone through many changes. What I don't like is being put in a position where I put a question mark next to my check for the next rent, and for the future... That is what I am scared of...
    Doesn't it make sense to be frightened of a sudden drop in pay when you have no other income to depend on? If I were salaried I certainly would not be afraid of anything... I would enjoy learning something new... but this is like no safety net.
    Also, my car loan as well as my landlord expect me to have the same or better income on my paystub... what am I supposed to tell them about a drop immediately in the same job? They would certainly be afraid if they knew this were happening.
    I didn't drop, the computer dropped a "k" but as a professional

    Any Spheris employees notice a drop in PTO time? SM

    Before we got 4 PTO hours a paycheck, now is seems to be 3.38. Has anyone else noticed this? Thanks.


    You can make up your lines whenever you like. Just drop them and email letting them know that you ar

    Must be your manager 'cause mine lets me off at the drop of a hat. sm
    You should ask again, saying that you have extenuating circumstances. Offer to work extra during the pay period to make up any missing hours, if possible.

    As for slowness, it is MUCH IMPROVED since earlier this year.
    I hate to ask this question but do most MQrs think they will stay if MQ would drop SE status for
    part time and full time employees if it was a fairly flexible schedule, of course, never like IC and SE.
    On the MT side? They start off attentive and then drop you real fast when you need them. nm

    Pay will drop significantly with Dictaphone EXSpeech 1/2 per line, or something to that tune. nm

    I've also worked there over 4 years and I have noticed the work drop
    Whatever left is the crap. Also, check your line count some time. I swear that they have manipulated that also. I can now do over 2 pages and it comes up with like 50 lines. I used to be able to make a living there but can't anymore. I'll be quitting.
    Bad things on the horizon. Wating for the other shoe to drop. A sham indeed,
    Indeed. :(
    Drop them an email. Mine was stolen. I received a nice empty envelope.

    they don't pay their share of the premium in any pay period you drop below full-time line count..

    People at TT have been paid! People who haven't well, maybe you did not make count and your check
    after insurance deduction. Maybe your bank is holding it. Maybe anything! But we GOT PAID. This is NO LIE. And I am sick of this board. Nothing but disgruntled exemployees arguing with employees who like their job. Ugggg. I am working. BTW: THERE IS WORK (clears throat) remember that? Work?
    Keystrokes is wonderful!! They are the nicest people and care 150% about their people!!
    Excellent company!!!!
    I worked for SS and some people were very RUDE and I am talking about the editing people in some
    instances.  It ALL depends on the person, as it does with any company.  They paid on time and the lady over me was very nice, but boy the person in QA was mean to EVERYONE!!  Never seen anything like it before.
    Are people trying to scare people or just tell them what is happening. I am not scared just seeing
    that things are changing very rapidly and not for the better for me. If I have no work and need multiple accounts everyone else is in the same boat now arent they that have my accounts. That is how people know what is going on.
    Maybe due to the people that manage Amherst. I think MQ would be a lot better off finding new people
    up there with all the problems you hear about that office. Seems like something is very very wrong there.
    I doubt it. There are more happy people than unhappy people sm
    at Medquist. I've checked out other companies but I liked MQ the best (I kept working at MQ while testing other companies).
    SO right! People who get paid to bring people on-board -sm
    to these companies (few, if any, are 100% honest, it seems), are going to be honest and tell you anything that isn't rosy and sugar-coated. Having a good prospective MT walk because the company isn't so great means less green dollars in their bank account every month. They're not going to tell us anything that DOESN'T make them more money.
    More people will come into VR because the qualifcations to do MT are not the same. Lots of people w
    to work at home. It's all relative to what you are used to. The nationals are counting on this. I think MTs will work cheaper rather than reenter the work force with no other skills than MT. The nationals are counting on this.
    They named people's names. That is not right. People just sm

    need to keep from naming names.  I thought it was an informative bit of information, but when you name names, then posts are way out of line. 


    I would really like to see a truly professional way of talking about a company.  I don't care what board you go to, somehow people just do not want to play nice when it comes to talking about people.  If those people could learn to be a little more professional and stop posting names to their wrath or anger, then that will be the day I can say I am proud to be in this profession.  When I see those types of things, it makes my skin crawl.  If it were me being talked about, I would be livid.  I certainly understand why the posts were deleted. 


    Thank you for saying that. Most people here just love to trash people.
    It is against board rules though.

    For people at MDI-MD that say they are out of work, I see they are hiring now. Are people still
    running out of work or did they get more accounts.  I am interested in this company.
    Honestly, people some people are lazy...
    plain and simple, sad but true.
    Dont kid yourself that people dont know what is going on. Do you honestly think these office people
    dont talk. Maybe you should make sure you know what you are talking about before you open your mouth.
    Who said people who work for KS aren't happy for people who work for (sm)
    other companies?  I'm happy for people who are happy with their jobs, no matter what company they work for.
