MQ DQS pay decrease? not here

Never heard of that one.  Was told lines would increase but nothing about rate decrease and I've been on DQS since day one


May be your management padding their own, but mine did not and I would not have settled for it, period!


pay decrease
Going back to MT from ME will mean getting all the worst dictators who can't dictate on ASR. That will be the only reports you will see if you go back to MT, so I don't see how we can gain by that. Between a rock and a hard place.
pay decrease

The ME are their most knowledgeable employees because that is what it takes to be an editor. You need tons of experience and years of transcription to edit correctly from the gibberish that comes on the screen. Yet, they decrease your pay for ME by 20% and expect an increase in productivity by 25%. As all the worst dictators are not ASR but need to be transcribed, how do they expect the struggling MTs (newbies) and less experienced MTs to make a living. This sucks.


Decrease in pay.

I received my letter today, and I am very angry.  The price of gas is going up, which will cause everything else to go up, and we are getting a decrease in pay.  


Decrease in pay
Yes, I have received a letter.
more like decrease of 25%
it's the same scenario when we went on DEP -- when you inquired about how many were having a 20% increase they made you feel like you were doing something wrong or not trying enough because there were TONS AND TONS of MTs out there that were just having tremendous increases in their line rates. I really don't know how they sleep at night!!
Do they ever decrease your pay?
Can they?
Sorry, I did not have a substantial decrease in pay
So don’t think that would fly with the labor board. Very few posting about VR have anything positive to say; therefore the hater tag. I would say they either have not given it a try and slamming because they feel they CANNOT make a decent salary or they just are unable to do VR.
DQS LINE COUNT DECREASE
OKAY LADIES, SO WHAT DO WE DO? SEEMS WE HAVE ALL EXPERIENCED THEFT OF OUR LINE COUNTS - HOW ABOUT TEAMING UP AND FIGHTING THIS?
I was told when I trained on DQS that there would be a decrease
in pay for lines done as ME.
decrease dictation speed
Gosh, thank you for writing.  I tried it, though (CTRL F2 and ALT F2), and nothing happened.  Am I missing a step? 
Emdat/Inscribe-Is there a way to decrease
the rewind setting? It rewinds too far every time I release the play button or if I push rewind button. I have looked at all the options and I can't find a place to set the rewind amount.
Can quit if "substantial decrease in pay" ..sm

or hours".  THIS is how it works, per Labor Board, clearly stated.  Or maybe you'd like to educate us on "how it works".  Who's talking about "hating", which you keep bring up?

decrease Dictaphone dictation speed
In ExText, by using the Transnet box, there's an option to decrease the speed of dictation. Well, I have mine all the way to the left, as slow as it will go, but there are some dictators who talk so fast, I can't keep up. Does anyone know of any method to decrease the speed even further than what the Transnet box shows?
oh geeze - 4-6% wage decrease, I/we should be so lucky!! My pay has dropped (sm)
30% - yes, that's right 30 PERCENT!! - in the last ten years.  This is all due to the new and improved (ahem!) creative ways of now counting the lines and what's included and what's not included.  You can't tell me doctors aren't making money these days.  If there were no money to be made, NOBODY would want to become one!!
Sorry - do not know what happened to my above post. I press 2 for decrease, 3 for increase. nm

PLEASE, lets drop this....

I got the help I needed for today.  Let's just drop it.

a key fob lets you into some place

I live in a huge complex and each building has their own electronic box (boxes) on every door that the owners/residents use a key-fob for to enter...the gym, any external door, business center, conference room, etc.


Is that what you're speaking of?  Something that is usually plastic and hangs on a keychain to allow entrance somewhere......

IF MQ LETS YOU GO, ARE YOU GOING TO REFUSE TO TAKE $$ FROM THEM?
Be honest.
Lets ask Frank about spaces
Well, maybe all us MQ workers should send a friendly letter to Frank (isnt he still the CEO?)  and ask if we get paid for spaces.  I have been told in the past I do, however, I have noted a decrease in lines when switching to DQS and dont know where those lines went.  I have to work one to two hours more a day to make the same line count I made on Cottage, in the **good old days**..OMG, not paying for spaces?  Well, then maybe we should not space between words or sentences, cause it takes our thumb to hit the key board and know when to space, Im working here..It working to put in spaces..I should be paid!!..Or, okay, dont pay me for spaces, then pay me more for my lines and my intelligence and my knowledge of medical..
There you go, lets have a thread about old cars!!!
yeah.
GO PANTHERS !!! Made it once, lets do it again. nm
 
What version are you using? Mine lets me do that. sm
I checked to see if there was a setting you need to adjust, but could not find one. I use an older version 8.70b, and it lets me do that, but I know the older versions than what I have did not allow that.
Try a noise machine - we have one that lets you....sm
choose between the sounds of a waterfall, crickets chirping, and other sounds that I got my daughter for $10 at Target. Good luck!

Lets cut all cables to India! sm
You know, some other countries don't permit their citizens to access US websites because of salacious content.

I say, we should not be allowed access via the internet to ANY third world backwater where they are sending American jobs!!!!

We should also block content to said polluted backwaters if it involves employment in this country.

Keep America great, preserve our borders real and virtual. Keep American jobs for Americans and LEGAL immigrants.

umm yeah and please learn to speak English.
lets us know whether or not we need to open the post. NM

Lets bottom line this, say she leaves and goes to another company
What do you think would be her chances of them going to VR? Do you think it will go poof and disappear? Do you think refusing to take lower wages makes the companies take notice and reverse to go back to the golden days when we had really good salaries? Be willing to bet that next paycheck most would go along with their companies going to VR rather than changing, going to a new job only to find out the same thing happens there.
Well, lets hope they keep the regulars on their own accounts because the hospitals know who types
regularly in those accounts and how the work is and if there is no complaining from the doctors and all of a sudden when you start throwing a whole bunch of new backups in there and the docs start complaining the hospitals can look in those systems and see who is working and then they call and complain to the MQ office and some have threatened to leave if the situation doesnt get straightened out which means you go back to just the regulars that really know the hospital. 
Lets try this again. With all the big nationals running us out or work and lowering our wages what
do you suggest.
Here I was worried about groceries. Lets worry about your stuff. Its easier.
;P
Lets hope it is not geared line count per hour the way we run out of work and are in so many
other accounts all the time. Boy that would be bad.
increase speed 3, decrease speed 2...sm
increase backspace 9, decrease backspace 8. At least that's what mine does.
