MQ Ohio office closing-why not Amherst

Posted By: NY2 on 2005-09-24
In Reply to: MQ Ohio office closing - dewey

What I don't understand is why they are closing an office that is obviously run very well--I don't think I have every seen anything but good about this office and yet they are closing it and continuing to leave the Amherst office open. What is wrong with this picture!!!!


 


Something is not right here but yet nothing is being done

Ohio office closing
I remember something about MQ consolidating down to just four regional offices, but never heard of the Ohio office closing.  Columbus is the only one in Ohio, but I am still curious as to where this info came from?
MQ Ohio office closing
This is to MQ'r--previously on the board there was a posting that the MQ Ohio office was going to be closed at the end of the year, if this is the only office left in Ohio, do you know where you would be transferred to. I thought you would be transferred to another office in Ohio but seeing that this is the only one that is not going to work. From what I have read on the board I would hope that it is not to the Amherst office.
MQ Houston office closing? I was thinking about applying but I just heard that they are closing
the Houston office soon.  What's going on with them?
curios about MQ Ohio closing
where and when was that announced?
I guess Amherst, NY and Ohio but I dont know the 3rd one.
:
are you certain the office is closing?
You might want to call there and ask.
Dewey/MQ Columbus office closing

I know there have been post on this board about the Columbus/Ohio office closing BUT, these were "leaks from inhouse", speculation, etc....as is the norm with MQ.


So, I'm not sure if they do close where we would all go, get transferred to etc.  I just pray they don't..why mess with a great thing ya know?


Sorry this is the Amherst office of MQ.
:
Amherst MQ Office
Why is this office allowed to operate this way?? Why is nothing done. I wish this office would be closed and we were transferred somewhere else but it seems like any office in the NE that is closed, is sent to Amherst.
Amherst regional office
i hope that you are not referring to the amherst office, that has to be the worse office in the northeast--let's hope that the regional office is somewhere else
Ohio MQ office
Welcome aboard.  I've been with them for 10 yrs, now on DocQscribe, love it, never ever out of work...we need the help desperately
Which office are you in. I am in Amherst and always out of work along with everyone else. What good
do the incentive plans they bring out do if we have not work. Isnt that crazy. You get x amount of money for x amount of lines but no work and now they will give employees more leeway to get their lines in so we will all be fighting for lines at all hours.
no answers, but correct, not out of Amherst office.

I do some overflow for the Ohio office...
I work out of a different MQ office but have been doing some overflow work for the Ohio office. I only work on one account for their office, but it seems to have a lot of work. Not too many ESL docs, though there are a couple of tough ones. With the account I am on, mostly the dictators just speak very rapidly, but with time I've been able to get more comfortable with them.

Good luck to you!
Is this the same office as Amherst. Why do they constantly run you out of work at Buffalo with no
explanation. Well, a lot of offices that are closing are shifting to Buffalo so I will be very unhappy if I lose my accounts and I will be long gone. Are you losing a lot of MTs at Buffalo because of this.
Does anyone work for the Buffalo/Amherst office of MQ and do you get bounced around a lot on
accounts or do you have a main mostly. What can you tell me about these people.
This office may be soon joining Amherst and Foxboro so not sure about that. I have not heard much
good on here about it.
Is everyone in the Amherst office being run out of work or how are they dealing with this situation
if you are out of work. Anyone with any experience with this at Amherst that can shed some light on what to expect at this office from what you have experienced. Thanks.
Can you tell me about the Amherst office as I just got transferred there and alrady seeing my work
disappear. Where does it go.
Well here we go running out of work at Amherst again. Does this go on all the time at this office as
I just started there. How many accounts do you need to have work there. This whole thing with MQ is ridiculous and they keep hiring. Must be getting ready for something.
Does anyone happen to have the number to call Amherst MQ office. Thanks much.
:
Are we all from the same office. I am from Amherst and they run such a tight TAT time anything runs
us out of work even a doctor coughing a few extra times and we are out of work.
Can anyone working for the Ohio MQ office tell me who they are and are the accounts decent to do or
are there a lot of ESLs. Thanks for any info you have.
ETC Office Services. Tammy Coffman out of Ohio.
My friend said she sounded very good and supposedly had direct deposit. Well, she had no deposit and the lady said she would wire the money and apparently did not do that either. I dont like liars.
Warminster office is about ready to close its doors. Our accounts unfortunately went to Amherst. I
understand they are going to have a national system not regional where when there is a hospital that needs help people out of work get work in it. I would rather have a main account or a few I know so I am not sure about this new deal. Maybe they are going in with Spheris.
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.
Actually they will all be closing,
Except the corporate office, of course.
QT closing
yeah, like they would be kind enough to give anyone advance warning of anything.  They strung along all the MTs and office people with empty promises and lies while they chortle all the way to the bank.  They are NOT nice people and I hope karma bites them in the butt for the way they treated their MTs and office staff. As for severance pay?  Can ya hear me laughing?  From what I hear there were only a handful of MTs left, but agree with other poster, what a horrible time of year to dump your employees, be it MTs or other.  Very grinchy of them
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.
ColumbusMQ Closing

Have you been told where you are being transferred??? I hope not to Amherst---your accts will be overstaffed and you will be out of work in no time. It seems like everyone who is tranferred there with their accts is out of work shortly there after. It happened with all our accts when were transferred to Foxboro and Amherst. Has anyone had any contact from the Foxboro office lately?? I wonder if that office will be closing soon if all their accts are going up on DQS all the MT's would be transferred to Amherst


Chicago MQ--closing

Do you know where you are going to be transferred to???  Please not to Amherst


 


Does anyone know how many MQ offices are actually left???


Closing in on 3 months at KS...
and I'm very happy.  I did not have full time work right out the gate as expected, but in the second week I made noises about it and they did get me backup accounts.  Now I have tons of work and a real sense of security about it.  The support has been great.  All the managers are accessible and responsive.  I came in while they were putting together a whole new benefits package so the dust is still settling on that, but I can't complain compared to what I had at my last company.  When I was company-shopping I felt discouraged about all the talk about different companies, but this looks to be a situation I could settle into for what's left of my work years (too many!!).
I heard they were closing down
completely! Something about never making any money in the MT business.
Closing date is 08/31 but there's a 15-day
nm
And Chicago CSC is closing also as of end of October...nm
nm
Warminster closing probably end of year.
:
Difference in selling and just closing down
I can understand if there were legal issues regarding the sale of a company, but rumor has it that QT is just calling it quits, I would not think there would be any legal reason not to tell anyone, maybe they are just trying to prevent the MTs from leaving before the account has terminated. Still from what I read, most of the MTs would not go until the account was gone and the doors were shut, so I think it would more professional if QT told their transcriptionists what was going on.
P.S....or if facility is closing and provided that
Which they almost certainly would in most cases. This law has NOT proven to provide the protection for laid off workers that you seem to imagine.
technically, after the closing, then employees not ICs
so might want to rethink
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.
Irony - MQ is closing offices and Keystrokes just built a new one. sm

I was part time with MQ and full time with KS and now will be KS only.  I am radiology, make great money and have a great lead.  I would recommend them to all MQ MTs that are thinking of leaving.


The email is KeystrokesNow@aol.com.   The fax is (630) 729-3177.


We do not have a referral bonus, I am just trying to help everyone that is feeling displaced.


Don't understand, are you in suspecting you are losing an account or QT closing? nm
.
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

Yes. Amherst
How did you know?
MQ/AMHERST
The problem with the Amherst office is the VP in that office and the director.  They are 2 overpaid  women who micro manage the entire office.  They need to do that to prove to the top management in the company that they are worth keeping.  I would never recommend any MT staying in that office.  If you want to stay with MQ I would advise transferring from the Amherst office. It will never get better with those 2 women.  The in-house employees there are also very unhappy and are treated terrible by these 2 women. Unfortunately this office really gives MQ a bad name, whereas some of the other offices I think I run very well. 
Amherst/ P AND M
yes you are right
amherst/P&M
I am not sure. I do know that these two women have actually had a death threat about a year ago. What a shame that corporate would allow this to continue. They must have know about that because the police were involved and it was documented. I would think the company would be fearful of more law suits, etc. not sure why they let this happen.
Buffola/Amherst
They are both the same. I think any office that is closed in the northeast, the transcriptionists are sent to Foxboro or Amherst, therefor lots of MT's and no work
Amherst and no work
It does not matter if it is the end of the pay period or not, I am always running out of work since I was transferred to the Amherst office. Too may MT's and not enough accounts and yet they are still hiring. My girlfriend was lucky enough to be transferred to the Ohio office and actually had an incentive for this week end--go figure
