    They don't know we have kept it all very quiet
    That is about all I know but I still must finish mentoring. Florence wants me under her wing as she put it.
    My, my, my....it's awfully quiet around here
    I guess the psychics were wrong tonight.
    Don't know why all the ex-DRs are being quiet.
    Normally there are majority of negative posts, all with valid experiences. My biggest warning - watch out for the old bait and switch. You will be on a training program for up to a month, I believe. You can decide to go off early if your production is higher than your training pay. But...the minute you go off training, its like somebody pulled the rug out from under you, and all the dictators and nice work VANISHES. Poof! Then its pulling your hair out to make line counts. Horrible. Horrible mgmt and recruiter is worth nothing to help you in the end. Just be careful and don't let them bait you. Good luck! It has always been said that those who work hospital accounts are better off than actual DR employees. My hospital went south, so I had no choice. Management was a mess. Pay on time. Heard new computers, though mine was a dinosaur. DR also had past labor board charges, etc. Not as rosy as they are presenting themselves!
    Should have kept quiet.
    Was it worth coming on and saying how great this company is? Look what it created. This subject just needs to GO AWAY. Don't know about all you, but I am tired of hearing about it.
    Wow, you really need to just be quiet...

    Can't you see it?  You are totally proving the point about SS.  They are AWFUL to work for!  However, I guess if an MT is into abuse, then SS is the perfect place for them. 


    Really, haven't you ever heard the saying, Better to keep mouth closed and be thought a fool than to open mouth and remove all doubt. 


    Hush now.


    why don't you just be quiet already??
    You're making quite a bit of enemies here.
    We're quiet because...
    I think we're all just frantically trying to find new jobs.  No luck for me so far.
    I prefer quiet, too. Everything seems fine. nm

    I am perfectly satisifed there. I like it quiet. nm
    xxxxxxxx
    Yep, all quiet on the SS Management Front here...

    They can't refute the truth about the company, can they? 


    'cricket noises' ...  all quiet from J&R... 


    AVOID THIS COMPANY.  THE END.


    If it is someone you trust to keep it quiet I agree but not to the world.
    The world does not have the right to know what has been negotiated between an MTSO and an MT.
    Whoops. I meant quiet suddenly. nm
    nm
    Is it co. policy to keep dirty, little secrets quiet?
    x
    I'm not damage control! I'm really nobody in the grand scheme of things. Just a quiet MT!
    That is what is just soooooooooooooo weird still with MQ. I don't know - I've been there for a long time, never talk to anybody, never hear from anybody, my account always has work, and its a great account. I have a back up, which I rarely get a report from. When I do, I admit, its challenging in that I have to look up a doctor here and there, but I just have never had a problem once.  I got transferred to Amherst, too, and everything is fine. No changes. I had some I-mail problems, along with everyone else, called the 1-800 # and got people on the phone immediately, who were super nice. Had a mistake with my check, my fault entered hours in wrong section, and got a person on the phone immediately, who fixed the problem and had a new check out to me the next day.  Its really a mystery to me why some have problems. When I do ask my bosses about it, they say my head would spin if I heard the problems some MTs are - how picky they are - how rude - cherry pickers or will only type on the 3rd Tuesday of the second week after a full moon - never answer THEIR phones, never answer emails, etc. Whole reverse of what I hear on this board 24/7. And I have to admit, I believe the office people who tell me their side, cause I know I've never experienced one singly problem that some MTs on this board whine about constantly.  And I've survived the new QA plan, no big deal at all, and survived the dreaded office transfer - nothing to it at all! So, I can't help but think that we somehow get the treatment we earn at MQ, or at any company for that matter.  And, no, please don't patronize me or kid yourselves. I'm just an MT with some time to kill on the boards tonight!
    Haha Hey, I know! ....
    I'm not the pro-Spheris or pro-MQ cheerleader everyone thinks I am.

    There are some items that could definitely use some tweaking or revamping!


    Oh ok...haha....sm

    I was about to say Hey, where is my downtime pay?  But that sounds like you have a great set-up with your job....at least you know you will get some sort of pay.  Too bad everyone doesn't get that! 


     


    HaHa

    Haha!!

    haha
    Sorry, but I thought I was the only one living in BFE...LOL.
    Haha
    Medquist is now owned by Indians. I think people just left before they were let go down the road.
    haha
    ...
    haha, I think she just did, on this board!

    funny haha??
    Actually the funny thing was that there was always just one I like them post - not that you would not use your name. I am glad you had no bad experiences, like I said that is one. No personal problem here - I put my running shows on some time ago. Sorry you took things so personally - was not my intention.
    haha - if it says "USA", then it's probably
    x
    LOL HAHA LMAO, etc.
    Funny how all the people who claim to think VR is the greatest, simplest thing since the microwave also come back later to state that they have alternate sources of income. Based on their postings, I suspect some of their other income comes from writing fiction.
    HaHa...you are contradicting yourself
    You just said that you were supposed to start working around noon the other day. Why would you have to send an email saying that you would be starting late if you don't have a schedule? You are contradicting yourself.

    I am done with the back and forth with you. If you like working for them, good for you. ICs are not supposed to be locked into a schedule like an employee. If you were truly an IC, there would be no need to email anyone to tell them that you were going to be starting 'late'.

    The only reason an IC should have to email them is if they were not able to work at all on a particular day.

    They are breaking the law and they will be dealt with. Me and one other person in this thread have worked there and been treated like an employee when we were ICs. I am sure there are others.
    HAHA DUH...Guess what?
    Those MTSO recruiters take valuable time to sift through hundreds of applications to try to pick out the most qualified, best 'fit' for an account. At what point do you feel that perhaps someone of perhaps a little less experience but a lot more flexibility didn't have her application tossed off the pile to make room for YOUR just-for-curiosity application?

    You waste people's time, resources and money when you apply willy-nilly just to see 'what's out there' when the job market is so desperate right now.

    So, I'm afraid that VERY mature DUH, HAHAHAHA is back on YOU, my fellow MT.

    I'm not the one wasting everyone's time applying for jobs I really don't want when I'm happy where I'm at.

    Haha! I can too! ANY defense at all of such
    And might I just add, what slimy little WORMS all suits really are! They sell their integrity and their souls for their do-nothing jobs in an already top-heavy industry. Considering the mood of their workforce these days, I'd actually be SCARED to be one of them right now.
    Yes, MQ has known all these years. My typo!! Haha
    ...
    20% increase in production - haha!
    haven't they been repeating over and over to you that you WILL see a 20% increase in production RIGHT AWAY!! after you conquer DQS then they're going to throw ASR at you and swear up and down that you'll have a 25% in production and they're going to cut your baseline rate by 20% to become a Medical Editor -- doesn't that sound just peachy!! i recalculated my last check with my MT work and my ME work and it came out to be $50 less because of the 20% decrease on my baseline rate for the honor of doing ME work (i have until 10/1/05 before the cut takes place). Oh, but you have your choice of doing 100% MT work and keeping your baseline rate, but guess what you'll be getting the docs that the voice recognition system can't do, therefore, you will probably see a 25% decrease in production. Heck, now as it is, the VR program can't pick up the little words like an, and, in, etc right and it's even leaving out very, very clear words that a very, very clear dictator is saying, so you figure how you're going to have a 25% increase on production when you're pecking nonstop on the keyboard like when you first started typing on a manual typewriter?? Tell me again, how grateful we're supposed to be for working at MQ? And, yes, I know I can go to MTJobs.com and find another job, but you know what, there's principles and if we just walk away from how we're being treated we're just going to be treated like that at another MQ-like company. Something needs to be done so they know that we don't appreciate being treated like someone with a 5th grade education.
    haha (but not really funny, it is sad). You can do so much better...(no message)
    xx
    Haha ... you're funny ... lol. nm


    haha - actually I kinda' like it better as a DO-DO list! nm
    .
    Thanks so much for you message...haha...just curious
    since they expect perfection do they pay okay?  THANKS!!
    Haha! all too funny! sounds
    like they require no experience on the executive level as well!

    question - they don't pay for headers but who's to say they really don't charge for them?
    no idiot, been there and they suck haha
    Let me know when you wanna play with the big people. On one job, I make $23/h plus incentive. Full benes. 20 weeks PTO/yr. Second job REAL IC pays 11 cpl including headers/spaces. Now, who is jealous? Not that you would admit it. LOL. Now, go make your hard earned sucky money LOL
    Haha! LMAO! Right! What is PHASING?????nm
    nm
    Yes, here you go, toodle-loo and fly a kite! Haha, nm
    nm
    Haha!! Brilliant move!!
    I did the same thing once when I worked in-house. The cherry-picker ended up being written-up. That's the way it should be. The good employees should have a fair shake of things. Too bad people like sm will defend them. Yes, revenge is sweet LOL. Justice!
    Yes we are on the same page, you used better words tho. haha

    haha! Good one... no you got it wrong sm
    I typed 200 lines an hour easily.........not slow. You sound like a salaried TTS'er or the owner. That's why there are always mixed reviews. The relatives and people with skin in the game post positive information.
    haha, good luck, you'll need it!
    zz
    haha, exactly the same for me...no work, no one cared..(no message)
    xx
    haha, you are the one who sounds angry and bitter...
    Don't worry about me or what you think I should do or need to do. I still have every right to express my opinion on this board, and you again are being rude and typical of 'your' profession.

    Again, I believe medical care should not be a business. That sounds ludicrous to me. People without insurance cannot have access to health care...and people like you do not care.

    We get it already, now perhaps you can go bother someone else. You are really starting to get repetitive and rude.
    Teehee!!!! HAHA LOL! I feel like I am treated that way sometimes. sm

    As for how I know my accuracy...


    I have QA bonuses.  You have to pull up 99% or better on audit to get it AND send under a certain percentage to QA in full.


    NO I am NOT the only OP specialist we have.  If you don't see OPs it is probably because they go to us first and if we finish, you don't have any of them in the general pools.


    Haha -- took me awhile, but I finally got it .. funny. nm

    Haha yen, love your post and agree completely with what you say!

    The above poster wasn't me. I'm the LOL from above. Two separate posters - haha
    nm
    Yeah.. I second the motion. I lasted a day before I had a breakdown haha..
    It was awful. Way too many screens to open up just to get going or do perform any task. That right there will always be their downfall. I'm sure if they had a better platform they would get a lot of better responses to job openings. JMO
    notice the words "in my opinion" haha...WMX was awful for me
    you are not going to bully me, I got enough of that at WMX
    ps: Please excuse typos! "Hands-working-faster-than-brain syndrome!" haha (nm)
