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.
Don't people who obtain the CMT normally drop the RMT sm
from the end of their name?

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..
