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.

I hope you're right. I've been waiting 4 wks for an ID - still waiting! nm

Okay, WiMT - Waiting for your reply to the posting above.
or is it just that the owner and the mgmt of this company are dishonest liars?

I say the correct answer is "B", how's 'bout you, hon?

That posting was a direct quote from the owner, Andy Renfroe. What say you about that?
WAITING FOR WORK? POSTING ON JOB SEEKERS BOARD.sm

07/28/09 for new MTs, FT & PT, all shifts.  Are they saying the accounts are UNDERSTAFFED?


Naturally, the new hirees will be gooing and gushing all over this board again about how GREAT their accounts are and how  EASY their dictators are.


I JUST WONDER WHAT THIS LATEST, YET ANOTHER HIRING BLITZ IS GOING TO LEAD TO IN ANOTHER FEW WEEKS.  Anyone care to predict?  .


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.
You've been waiting since May?
I think someone needs to get a clue....
I've called them and waiting for them to call me back. nm
 
I've been posting under this name for about 3 years sm
now, have worked for WBMDX for going on 9 years now, and have never posted on the MQ board. Whoever your other queenie poster is, it isn't me. Time to look for more clues, Detective Columbo....
I've never seen a job posting wanting an
'acute care MT' who didn't expect the MT to do OPs. Acute care = hospitals = everything including OPs and special procedures. Now of course they will hire people who can't do OPs and let them just do DS, ER, etc., but again, that's being hired to do those specific acute care work types & does not cover the entire area of acute care.
I've been posting the same thing for a couple of years. I don't understand

why people feel like their company has to provide insurance and they may take a job they hate just for insurance.  Getting your own policy is almost always cheaper and then you aren't tied to a job/company you hate.


If you have pre-existing conditions situation may be different. 


"So many" job posting lately? I've seen fewer and fewer. nm

the posting is the exact same posting as you read on the
job seekers board. It is under state boards
Drop it already! ENOUGH! DONE! OVER! nm

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. 
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

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..

You are doing better than I am. Still waiting...
...on the paycheck. Maybe those 100% gals get the debit cards, and those idjits, like me, who mess up a comma, don't get a debit cardiac?

(Kidding, kidding, antcipating my debit card with high excitement.)
Still waiting on MQ
not getting my hopes up, of course.  Happy MT Week!
Still waiting...
I'm still waiting for mine
Anyone else still waiting for W-2 from DSG?
They said they were sending it out this week.  Sure seems SLOW this year. 
What are you waiting for? Get out now! nm

I'm still waiting.............SM
for someone to reveal how they know that the account has been lost.  There appears to be at least one individual who enjoys starting rumors of QT's demise on this board, and we have survived these rumors before.  If anyone feels they know the truth and can tell me how they know it, please divulge on this board or e-mail me.  I'm not leaving my job based on what appears to most of us to be pure rumor, at least to the majority of employees.  If anyone feels they know the truth and can tell me how they know it, please divulge on this board or e-mail me.  Thanks.
You will be waiting until the 15. They
do not process your check the day you send in your time sheet.
waiting...
It would be considerate of them to at least let us know what is going on. They have not said one word about going to VR with any of the accounts. I have been with them for years and it's very unprofessional of them to ignore us and expect us to just sit back and wait until they have work for us to do. Yes it is a slow time of year, but FN has been slow across the boards for the last 8-10 months now, even with picking up new accounts. How does that make sense?
waiting
Why wait that long...would email or call, things get lost and forgotten especially this time of year, at least you would know instead of waiting and wondering...
Waiting here too
impatiently, I might add (LOL) . . . just my personality. I wonder how long it will take to hear back. I know she is busy, but hopefully we'll know soon since she is looking to hire quickly.

I had some trouble with #1 also.
