Thank you so much -- you saved

me an hour of two of wasted effort. Much appreciated!

Thanks very much, you have saved
me from another big disappointment, although for a company to top MDI, it would have to be a tragedy.

Saved me from being ripped off!!

They probably saved all the work for you...
and we are all stuck with nothing. I haven't been able to get anywhere near 1000 lines for months now. Have been an MT for over 12 years so.....funny you have a bunch of work and I have next to nothing.

You could have saved some of us time by
stating that you only were interested in encouraging posts, rather than those representing the current situation. I was actually wasting more of my time by trying to post links for you of the serious no-work situation, but see that you're not interested in anything not encouraging posts. Have fun!! As many others have honestly shared the last months about MDI-MD, I hope your finances don't depend on this company right now, as they weren't able to handle many of us new hires. Not even 5 training jobs a day. Their regular workers experience same, too, but, lest I sound not encouraging, I'll just shut up now.

cpl earned, cpl saved
Earnings were better in the past. New software for speech recognition is competitive. Offshoring removes lucrative reports for transcription by low paid workers in other climes. Meanwhile in USA in our company, the residue is difficult to hear, but our company has begun to ban putting blanks in the report, to promote cost savings in the proofreading departments: fewer blanks, fewer proofreaders on payroll. Medquist is wave of competitive future.

No way!!! After all the money they saved (sm)
giving their employees the Print your own cookbook for Christmas. I would have appreciated a card far more.

I know they pay the most for ASR and think you are all probably right and we are going to get hit in the chops with this one. At least I work at home and can attend the meeting with a margarita in hand.

Hoping for the best, but after 10 years of MQ and the crap they put us through I am a little gun shy.

I saved the old one to my computer and SM
I think I'm going to start applying to other places. Just the fact that they would announce this at the end of the business day before Memorial Day weekend and leave us hanging like that until Tuesday is such a turnoff, but I shouldn't be surprised. This company has really gotten horrible in the past year.

I have saved a ton of money this way
I have Blue Cross, which isn't the best, but I have had 2 C-sections with it. Both times the hospital charged over $11,000 for the hospital services, not including baby's nursery, OB fees, etc. Blue Cross contracts with them and tells them how much their clients can be charged. Both times I have gotten bills automatically reduced to $2800. Of course, that went to my high maternity deductible, but that's over $9000 in savings, well worth the premiums.

Almost all of our lab fees, testing, procedures, etc. are reduced this way. I pay a copay for basic office visits and that's just flat.

FMLA only gives you the right to be out - the only pay you would get would be saved PTO or short-ter

I hope you SAVED those e-mails.

You're welcome. I applied and had saved the info. nm

Nice that they responded, but would've saved..sm
I get that they are relatively new, but with nothing at all coming up on Google search (not even a phone listing), it's understandable why people questioned. I still think it's strange there is literally nothing available online, even using her name and variations, but the address seems to be an office building of sorts, so that seems plausible.

Good luck to those who applied. I hope it ends up being a diamond in the rough. :)

I also saved EVERY email from them so I can back up the info below
nm

Their ads say .09 per line, 1.10 per report, which you could have saved yourself time by reading.

Gosh..thanks for your honesty. I have not found ONE positive about them. I'll pass. You saved me
a lot of trouble it sounds like.
