You know, I dont think people care anymore what MQ offers or doesnt offer, I think everyone is just

In Reply to: Good for you. I am MQ employee, 13 years. SM - anon2

sick of all the confusion, dishonesty, sneakiness, etc. You never know what is around the corner so after this there will be something else no doubt. I think I and most other MQ MTs just want a company that they can respect and trust. MQ can offer this package and turn right around and change that. Leopards dont change their spots. It seems like they are intent on running this company into the ground and they are doing a good job of it. I dont see how they ever will stand up against the money they owe all of these hospitals. You still have to wonder what prompted them to send checks out to the DQS MTs for mistakes in calculation of lines. Give me a break. Maybe they are trying to settle lawsuits to get out of the MT business and focus on just technology. They sure dont know what they are doing with the MT side for sure. I think they felt they had everyone up against a brick wall but as accounts leave so will MTs or MTs will just move on to another business as the wages get lower and lower so then all the work can go to India. Older MTs will cut back or retire and younger ones will leave for something else when they see what they have to battle with the work left over from ASR or VR for the small amount of money not to mention EMRs coming quickly.

a different room doesnt matter to a dirty old man "Been there done that" they dont care where
They still try. As long as they think they are "alone". Privacy is not a good thing in dealing with a pervert. Even if there are people in another room. You could scream but it would still be a situation I dont think she wants to be in.
It is only because no one offers that anymore

We love the Wynn. We got free offers when they first opened but just the other day we got an offer f
The Wynn is pure luxury.. We loved it and the buffet was excellent. Where do you live? We live close enough to drive there to many times a year haha.
Why dont you stick your $1.18 where the sun doesnt shine lady.

I dont agree with any of the things you are saying here but I moved on so it doesnt matter.

well, they don't offer $80,000 anymore; it's more like.....
$30,0000 a year......they had some openings this past summer of 2007. I checked in to it. They had some openings in ophthalmology and I was contacted by a recruiter who told me they offered around $30,000 a year. I said, thank you, but no thank you. Just so you know.
I dont know. I didnt care then and I dont care now.
Just me

XMTSO doesnt care where you are going to work or what they

My MTSO doesnt care if use cc or mL, just be consistent.

Dont you think MQ will just keep hiring new people who dont know they lost lines because they are

new. I betcha.


I have been trying to prepare for this, dont buy milk anymore, etc. nm

Dont care how many languages you took. Care

dont stay any longer and stress yourself anymore than needed, but.....
nag nag nag, push push push about your pay; you deserve it. good luck

Thanks. Just checking out options in case SE does not exist anymore next year for MQ. I dont really
need benefits and dont really want to be an employee with set hours and the amount of hours you can work. I dont know what part time employee will be because it does not exist now but just checking around. Thanks all. Of course, no one knows what the cpl will be next year for MQ either. I dont know how many hours part time employees are allowed to work and still be considered part time or how they monitor that.
I don't care anymore- since my hero
Randy Johnson sold his soul to the devil I don't watch it.
I don't even care about 'recognition' anymore - sm
all I want is a paycheck that reflects the education, years of hard work, honesty, and skill that goes into what I do every day. I find it hard to even get up and start working each day, knowing that no matter how fast I go, no matter how many hours I put in, I still won't make enough each month to get by without raiding my dwindling savings account to buy food. Meanwhile, marginally-competent MTs in India are living a more comfortable life than I could even dream of.
Most Dr. dont care and dont know how they get

I have asked numerous times if people like the Amherst office but seems no one ever offers their
opinion about that office. Just transferred there and I am sure many other MTs on here work out of that office.
it all comes down to they dont care
I swear quality is nothing and i saw this in my own job. the newbies are making mistakes all over the place, and our manager just blew it off, knowing that QA would fix it.

I feel that is the same with offshoring... there are always "editors" to find the mistakes.

it's a bunch of crap!
The national I work for usually offers jobs to the in-house people when they acquire an account. nm

Not many care about "proper" anymore. I hate typing verbatim, so wrong. nm

to short... I dont think you guys know what day care is.
At my day care they get plenty of attention. The government regulates day care facilities and there is a certain teacher:child ratio they need to adhere to.

I also dont agree that they are "better off" at home near the sounds and smells and love of the mom when mom is constantly saying, "please dont be so loud, I cant hear the doctor dictating" Or "Not right now honey, mommy's working"

And let me ask you this....ARe you able to work all day and also give your child "one-on-one attention all day?"

And my kids have been in day care for 2 years now and were sick maybe once each year. They take multivitamins and eat right.
My "quess" is Drs. dont care as long as there is

The way people appear in public anymore--
Reminds me of a T shirt I saw that read-- Too many freaks, not enough circuses. I think slippers are the least of your worry. I think people should at least be covered up and not letting everything hang out for public display. If they want to look like that at home, but not in public.
Has anyone reported this situation with Amherst to corporate or dont they care either about what is
going on there.
I just ignore people anymore...they don't bother to listen anyway---LOL
It is hard when you have to take care of the kids (mine are 8 and 14 months), work and somehow manage to have your house not look like a disaster area...sounds fun to me---LOL...in all seriousness though I love my job and that I am here for my kids and I don't have to justify that to anyone...
I think lots of people not paying for the years anymore
If that were the case with 30+ years, my per line pay would be more than what I make now. No more pay for experience.
I dont care if you stay home because ofyour kids, a health issue - sm
or because you just like to work in tne nude. The fact of the matter is, settling for a lower rate jsut for the convenience of working from home is BS. I've been doing this for 25 years and have been home since 1996 and while I know I am not making the same money I did in the haydays, I sure as he11 will not work for less. Many of these companies are bluffing if they tell you they have to lower your rate. In fact, if you hold your ground and have a decent reputation, you can even make more.

It's too bad that so many people don't believe in their abilities and worth to hold out. You should never base your decision on fear. Use logic and common sense.
Dont want people to think
that the kids are in danger. They are with my mother-in-law while my sister-in-law works or with me. When she is not working she has them they do not stay alone with my brother-in-law anymore.
dont' even bother. People with sm
that attitude you don't want to work for. I would rather be on QA for months and learn every last thing about that account and learn it right than have somebody down my throat about still being on QA.

Don't let them fool you, these people that run these ads don't have that great of MT skills either or they would never put an ad like that. Stay away from them.
People have no patience anymore. I gave a $10.00 donation and I got an email the next evening.

I think since these people also have a transcription service, no one should expect an instant response.  Besides, it's more about giving than getting anyway. 


"stating that people have a poor grasp of the English language anymore. "
i hate that expression. makes no sense to me.
Yes, these random QA reports now being done by MQ are being done by QA people that dont even QA the
account and are a pain in the butt. Then they monitor the amount of blanks you have so I will not help out anymore on a new account that needs help because they even monitor those blanks. Who needs this aggravation.
Maybe it is to check and see if you have spellchecker. Some people dont
A regular spellchecker doesnt catch these words. Either way they want to know if you have a way to come up with the correct spelling regardless how you get it.


if people are annoyed, just dont respond, simple.

I guess they are focusing on people who take huge deductions which I really dont so maybe that is
why they dont audit me because basically there is nothing to audit since my deductions are about $600 a year which are payroll deducted for equipment. I watch with my deductions that everything can be well documented but I really only have health insurance now which before you couldnt take so that is it for me and that is easy to prove.
Nice to see people care
I am relatively new to this site, but from reading the posts it seems like there are several negative people out there who probably don't care about the person you are writing about.  Unfortunately, I did not read her post and I don't know where she is, but I hope for her sake she is okay.  I have been troubled to the point of not wanting to be here anymore, but I was able to get help, and now I am doing great.  I just wanted to thank you for caring.    If you should here from here, please let us know. 
The people who care are all raising their hands.
I care about doing a good job and want to be well compensated for that work, so count me in. If you're not interested, don't disparage those who are.
IMO, people wont care. If will cost them more

Be honest - the only people who care where the work is done are the MTs! nm

I wish more people would spay, neuter and take care of the pets
they've already got instead of expecting everyone else to deal with their problem.  I get tired of the loose animals running around our neighborhood.  People just dump their animals because they can't be bothered to care for them.  We've got hundreds of cats running around having kittens all over the place.  The kittens wind up feral.  My pets are "rescues", but I can't take on any more.  I won't, either.  It's like kids.  Don't have more than you can properly take care of.  Don't expect me to take care of the problem you created either.
Here's another reason why health care is so high people can't afford it and ...SM

A while back I had to go to the ER for a particularly bad Meniere's episode.  I asked for an itemized bill, and you know what they charged me for 4 mg of ondansetron? 


$544. 


 


Sounds like exactly how I feel. MQ has a tremendous amount of unhappy people and could care less.

Offer 1 week notice, but willing to offer 2 if they would be in a bind. Also, (sm)
make sure your resignation letter is written with class.  Never good to burn your bridges.
Why dont you stop coming in and agitating everyone under all your different names. Dont you work.

The way I understand it if you dont keep below 10 to 15% QA you dont get the bonus even if your QA
score remains above 98% so you see as the other poster said you are between a rock and a hard place and I expect this is MQ way of getting out of paying a bonus to people. I see it this way anyhow. I plan to continue to send unclear things to QA and that is the way it is. I expect depending on the new pay scale on top of this they will be losing a lot of MTs anyhow as they continue to miser everyone out of money.
Do you honestly think they do. I dont. I dont think some of them can even understand some of the

 reports they listen to quite frankly.


If you dont want to read a thread, then dont.
