frequent this board. How is pay, benefits, work load. Still owned by Tampa couple?

who is it you are trying to locate at medquist, i am an MT there presently, perhaps i can help

have been protected from the realities of the world for decades now.  I have contact with them daily-you should hear them cry and complain over having to pay $4 a pay period to cover their family's health insurance.  Co-pay for a Rx went up from $2 to $5?  Oh, the complaining about what a raw deal they get.

These people all have cottages to summer in, multiple vehicles for business, leisure and sports and the rest of us have slaved.  No company EVER promised to take care of its employees for life.  We MTs have known that for years and now these people also can find this out.

You just summed that up for me.  I am glad you told the truth in that you like using slaves to transcribe who are none the wiser. 

As an IC, I choose my own hours, days, lines, etc.  You as an MTSO consider that whining, when it is the law. 

So if you sleep at night knowing you are abusing and mistreating offshore workers, then good for you!  It actually just proves you have no heart.

Another point I'd like to make is that if you need subs to make you money, you must be a horrible Transcriptionist yourself. 

Any doctor that old me he doesn't care who types, when, and how would be off of my list of good doctors and I wouldn't waste my time.  That doctor obviously doesn't care about people but only his own pocket and that would include you as the MTSO.  That same doctor that told you he/she doesn't care will drop you as an MTSO in a minute when he/she finds a better deal.

Always remember, we reap what we sow.  Try and have a good day, master!

off because of quality issues, although why they made it to the client I'm not sure as they should have been caught in QA.

Would anyone who has requested a raise be willing to share their experience with me?  How long were you with the company before you asked for a raise?  Were you an IC or an employee?  What was your company's response in general?  If you were granted a raise, what was considered before it was given to you?  Time in?  Quality of work?  Production?  Attitude/flexibility?  Coming up on my 1 year anniversary an IC and would like to ask for 0.05 cent/line raise, but don't know if I should even consider doing so.  Would not want the company to lower their opinion of me/punish me for asking.  Your kind, and most importantly, nonsarcastic responses are greatly appreciated.  This is a sincere post.

Do they let you request certain job types?

My favorite type of job is operative notes and I would be more than happy to take them off everyone's hands. My ideal day would be operative notes (with an occasional psych eval and ER note mixed in). I dream of the days when I could work without a set schedule on the work types that I liked on ONE account. Those were the days.

I'm been with MQ for almost 10 years and right now I'm in the cesspool of 25+ different hospitals; never having the same doctor; I just talked to my supervisor on the phone for the first time ever last week (and she's been my supervisor for 8 months now); haven't had a raise in 5 years despite asking every year. I've stuck it out for the last 3 years being unhappy because I felt fortunate to be able to work from home. I finally got mad enough this past week that I put my resume out and now I have 3 different companies to interview with in 2 days.  

I'm just saying it seems a bid inconsiderate.  She isn't a new employee and she isn't an employee.  She is an IC who has been working for them and obviously has handled their accounts for a while now.  If she was a brand-spanking new MT to the company and clients, the request wouldn't seem so unreasonable. 

If it is a new platform that they're rolling out, wouldn't it be more considerate to train the ICs online rather than expect them to travel for training at their expense?  If she was an employee, the company would have to pay the expenses, but it seems they're just taking advantage of the fact that she is an IC. 

I've heard nice things, read nice things.  Do you like working here?  Do you enjoy the work?  Set your own hours and workload?

TIA!

Hello all ~

Does anyone know anything about the following companies and could share experiences, etc?  They are Freedom Type and Private Secretary.  Also, does anyone know of any companies who handle just clinic or VA accounts?

Thanks so much!

to review and learn from.  I'm not saying that you did make any mistakes, but it would be easier to think that if the company is not willing to provide you with that.  I would definitely want a copy for my own knowledge.

I wish that you would share your post directly with MTSOs who may not see it here, by anonymous email or some other method.  Actually, I just might send the link to the HR manager of some of these MTSOs, if that's okay.

Recently, my Indian manager was replaced by a female USA manager, who has some of these traits/habits, the worst of which is that we have received emails that indicate her inclination to always assume that 100% of the clients concerns are the fault and responsibility of the MTs, that MTs should be able to read minds, etc., etc.  Her communication style is very condescending.  If you email a question, you don't expect an answer unless she decides that it is important.  You know the type.  I can't wait to find out how it all works out in the months to come.

Sounds like to me you have issues.
