I believe you may touch Frank on a personal level if you e-mail him. He is after all encouraging us

to ask him questions and to call him by his first name as did our beloved ex-CEO Gregg.  Try this link.  If Frank is truly our kind of guy, he will answer your personal questions and problems.

frank has needs just as we do. if frank needs a personal touch, i'm there for him.
just say the word.  frank has so many stressors perhaps that extra personal touch will enable him to clear his mind and understand the mts who just want to help him.  frank, we are here for you dude.  just say the word.
And, speaking of the personal touch,
since I was a legal secretary, I type his business and personal letters and get paid the same line count. There is a chair in the doctor's office where we make the exchange everyday - I pick up the tapes and patient list from that chair and he picks up the transcribed reports from that same chair. We have been doing it this way since the beginning and it works very well. We are just comfortable with each other. And, yes, I count my blessings everyday.
Does anyone ever get on a personal level with anyone they work for?

Do you ever get to know the people you work for personally when working for these nationals? Ever have any faces with those QA names? I was just wondering. I find it a little difficult not knowing the people I work for, and I work for a smaller MTSO. They are all nice enough, I suppose, but all business. I can't imagine working for these people for years and not even know what they look like. Is it just me and my curiosity or what???


I'm getting e-mail and personal mail from MQ regarding changes
and lawsuits.   What's up with MQ?  Any speculation?  My mail is general and not specific to my office.  Think things are coming to a head with the lawsuits and MQ is trying to play nice?
Listen Mrs. Frank MQ. Just because Frank gave all his MTs a chapstick doesn't mean

he loves you less.  You have to learn to share such a charismatic dude as Frank.  There is enough Frank for all of us.  Now go wipe your eyes and get your chapstick and be ready for Frank when he finally gets home.  He has worked hard today looking for Christmas presents for MTs to top the chapsticks and that's not easy. 


 


PS:  I hear he got us nail files to keep us MTs prettied up.  How cool is that?  Maybe you could help him get that MQ emblem on the files for that personal touch. 


I went to MQ web site where Frank is now answering questions. Looks like Frank
is running behind on his questions because they are last dated May 11.  Maybe he is in Hawaii?  
Frank still loves the ranks even if you are rankled by Frank.
Frank cares.  Didn't you get your chapstick?  He doesn't want you to get chapped lips.  Now that beats a raise doesn't it.  Money is so impersonal.  MQ chapsticks mean so much more.  Lots of thought went into bypassing raises and just mailing those chapsticks that are clever enough to fit on a keychain that Frank including.  That's big!
I came from low level neighborhood. I know the effects low level people have on a child's
mind. I fought very hard to get out of there. If you think narrow-minded high-horse thinking people are the only ones who are making trailer park comments, YOU ARE DEAD WRONG. I know white trash people who live for the weekend to get drunk and party and make just enough to get by. I am educated in the "real world" and whether you like it or not, the "real world" doesn't want to be anywhere near a trailer park for real or imagined reasons and does ostracize trailer park people along with ghetto people and section 8 people. Crime, drugs, do come from low income housing. BTW, people are outraged at black-on-black ghetto crime. That does not happen in higher working class black neighborhoods. Same deal with white trash people. Low class white people get drunk fight and end up in jail. If you read the newspaper or watch it on TV over the weekend, you know what I am talking about. Crime, drugs, etc is rarely an ONGOING problem in upper class neighborhoods because most of these people have goals for the future. Lower class neighborhoods and low class people are what they are because that's what the people in the neighborhoods settle for.
so what becomes of frank? who will we go to with our questions? i have bonded with frank.
will you be keeping him on? can we ask you our deepest personal questions like we did with frank?
How soft is the touch, is it a muffled sound (microsoft used to make a very soft touch keyboard.
You can't buy it anymore and I hate the clacky ones. I think a really soft one sounds muffled when you hit the key. Thanks
There is only ONE frank in the MT world. Frank (Mr. MQ) whatever his last name is.
We love you Frank! We miss you!
OKAY! I need a vacation. Frank and fans of Frank/MQ who won the Hawaiian vacation?
Does anyone know? 
Request that they place a stop payment on the check, reissue, and mail priority or overnight mail
If they refuse or invent unbelievable excuses, you'll know you have a problem. If MY check was a week late, there are many months I would be in deep trouble.
I realize checks occasionally do get lost in the mail. If they are 100% sure it was mailed, then they shouldn't mind issuing another.

Be firm and be persistent.

In every company I have worked for that pays via mail, they mail the checks on payday. sm
Depending on the distance you can get them anywhere from 3-8 days later. Right now one takes 3 days, the other 3-5.

That's encouraging.
The double dating was mean. When they disrespect you, they love to let the whole world know.

Glad you were able to meet someone nicer and especially someone secure with himself. Didn't know that existed. ha!

Thanks for your message.
Now THAT'S encouraging
I'm glad I posted and heard some feedback from people who actually feel that MT is still an enjoyable career choice.

Though I do realize that the majority of posts here are not negative in nature, it just seems that those are the ones that stick with me. Just beginning my education, I come here in search of a view of what I can expect, good and bad, but admit I do get discouraged to see the series of "I'm getting out of this" with replies of "right behind you!".

Thanks for your posts, your honesty, and, yes, even your venting.


that's encouraging
that you've had such a good experience. No, i hadn't checked the control panel -- but will. I had to disconnect and go back to old MS clunker to get the day done first....
Encouraging
Thank you so much for the wonderful post and the encouragement to not give up on a profession that I truly love!
I appreciate some of the encouraging
things you said, but the key words you stated are it takes time and experience, which is what I'm not getting by being taken off an account I'm just starting to get familiar with. Again, I have worked this field for 6-7 years and have worked for other MTSOs, and this is a first. As you said, you HAD to get used to it...not that it was right or decent for them to do this, just that you HAD to. Which is where their power lies in treating MTs so abdominably.  Reminds me of the coal miners who HAD to buy from the company's general store. As I said before, if I'm paid hourly I'll do anything you ask, but in this situation they are asking us to LOSE money for THEIR profit.
My mail carrier just informed me that the mail is sorted by
prisoners as part of their work.  Now do you feel safer and more secure?  
Block her E-mail, return mail unopened

On AOL I can determine who I want to receive mail from and block those I do not  -- and if they are blocked  they get their E-mail back as being "undeliverable".  If she sends things out -- send back --unaccepted.  But to be simple just E-mail her back or call the recuriter if you don't want to deal with her directly and state -- leave me alone.  If she is in another state you should not be scared of her but you may simply have to put it out there in no uncertain terms.


Thank you so much for such an encouraging note!

I am going through a separation from my husband.  He thinks a sacrifice is giving up going to the local bar when he gets of work, giving up his drunk he has on a daily basis, and just all in all growing up and taking on responsibilities.


 


I have been so down and depressed lately that I have to FORCE myself to work.


 


Thank you for being the angel on my shoulder today!


Thanks for your encouraging words

I'll keep trying. I really hope that something comes of it.  I'm surprise at how many people have had success at it.  With living in Las Vegas and working at home, the chances of meeting someone good are slightly diminished on my own. 


Encouraging post.
I am definitely encouraged by your post and no it isn't easy. I decided to leave twice. The first time I packed my things, and my daughter passed away days later before I could find somewhere for us to go (11 yrs old). The second time I decided to leave, I ended up in the hospital from blood clots in the lung, systems failing, etc., and still recovering. I am now getting strong enough to consider it again. However, not totally there yet but today was just one of those days I felt very annoyed. However, it helps to read about others' success stories.

Continued success to you and thanks for your message.

TY
Such encouraging posts!
Wonderful to read such inspiring posts! Thanks to all!!
Thanks for the encouraging words
Thanks to those who shared words of encouragement. Hopefully, someday I will have gotten over this hump and be able to help others in my current shoes.

P.S. The 90-minute report/getting knocked out of your chair must have been a nightmare! Makes for a good story to share now though. :)
She has been encouraging MTs who are complaining..
such as yourself, to look in the mirror and take some accountability for ourselves...nothing negative about that...
Thank you!....that's very encouraging to hear !

Hey, I admire you! I am 50, my DD is in college, and is always encouraging me to go, SM
I just don't know what to study! I am thinking of culinary arts.
Real encouraging there! How did your response help OP at all?

If you have been successful at encouraging your child
My son, almost 19, has wanted to be in law enforcement since he was about 5. Lately, though, his motivation has been waning.  Of course, he has a girlfriend, who incidentally *hates to work*.  We really want him to consider joining the Air Force, get his college and training, finish his tour, and come home to work at the sheriff's department (I know, I'm probably dreaming right...).  If you've been successful at encouraging your child this way, please share your experience and advice. 
Thanks. That is encouraging. My biggest concern is
visiting family at holidays and other times.  Do you bring some of your own food or just pick and choose from what is offered?  Or do you go "off the lifestyle" and then make up for the damage later? 
A helping hand, sure. Not encouraging MT to

"American" Association - yet they are encouraging outsourcing?

My group gets encouraging emails and thank you notes
I guess I'm mature enough to read it and if it does not apply to me, ignore it the language in it and use the intent to make sure I am cautious.


Wanting encouraging, up-lifting friends who
make me a bad person.  Sometimes it is better to be a friend who stands firm in believe MT can help herself than to be a bleeding heart that just keeps MT down by agreeing nothing can change, the situation will always be hard and why try to change it.  If I was in a bad place, I would need friends to help me be brave and do what I had to do to change things.
Isn't it refreshing to see some UPLIFTING, ENCOURAGING posts for a change ??

any encouraging words for a newbie with crappy line counts?
Today is my 3rd day of "real" work (not school) and I did 482 lines in 5.5 hours. That averages out to about 87 lines an hour.

How many lines per hour did you average at first? How long did it take to get faster?

I accepted an acute care position to get more experience, but now I'm wondering if I should have gone for a company offering clinic notes accounts ...

Please tell me it gets better!

Hey!  I dont work for MQ and I dont' know Frank...I feel like I'm missing out on something big!
Well Frank cannot help
he just does not care. Nobody does. He is raking in the $$$$$. He does not respond to the e-mails, so what is the point. What a way to run the company. So sorry that we are boring you with our MQ issues. You obviously do not work for them.
To Frank
My experience was great too for several years....then one day.....POOOOF.   Hard to make a silk purse out of a pig's ear...uh, that's hard to make any money with no work.
To Frank
I did just that, figured it out and rectified the situation.
ohoh-should I know who Frank is? nm

Frank's website
How do you get to Frank's website?  I need to tell him some stuff.
What is up with you? Are you related to Frank?

Frank knows that.  What a sourpus.


Okay, if no one answers I will ask Frank.

Frank wouldn't like that
You think a union would let them get away with decreasing ME pay by 20%? The concocted system they use to try and make people think their production has gone up is full of holes. I know they forget we are not stupid if they think we can't see through this.
