unhappy with mq supes

Posted By: ANOTHER MQER on 2005-08-07
In Reply to: I'm not saying I want to be best friends with my supervisor, - but what I mean is...

I know what you mean. I don't need constant contact with my supe, but when my grandmother passed away, my supe didn't say anything about it, no sorry, condolences, or anything!

The supes just love it, because

they don't want to be bothered by their "lowly, bothersome" MT's anyway. They think that will prevent their team from calling the supe and getting in their way of taking care of their kids and hearing them yelling in the background if you are forced to return the supe's call.


Did MQ hire supes to be cheerleaders?

Rah, rah, sis, boom, bah ! Almost makes me regurgitate when I get those imails. Also when upper mgmt sends those intro imails over and over about a new "high dollar" CEO/manager that they have hired with our monies, rather than giving us a raise and better benefits.


MQ supe is definitely not the asset it was to the MT's in the past. It is all about pleasing the upper management now -- using Excel to send those much needed reports back and forth. 


I miss the supe of yesteryear! 


EXACTLY! Or because you speak the truth & the supes (nm)
.
mq supes are there to monitor your work not hold your hand.
you are living in another day and time. this is the internet age. people are impersonal because they don't really know you and to tell you the truth, i like it that way. i have enough real life friends and family w/o the internet acquaintences taking my time.
Who said I was unhappy?
I never said that. The funny thing is, I am extremely happy at Medquist. I am a high producer too. So, don't act like you know anything about me. What I know about you is that you are pathetic and you are coming on here all day and night and harrassing people on this board. It is sickening. So, have you decided who you are going to be tomorrow? Or, isn't this about the time when you start posting things and then answering yourself? ROFLMAO. Can't wait. Everyone, please stay tuned for the show!
Maybe she was just really unhappy with where she was (sm)
Sometimes people just end up in situations where they don't belong and are miserable and have to make a change. I'm sure it's nothing personal against you.
another unhappy MT
I have been sitting here all night trying to find a solution to this very problem, like I have many nights for the last several months.  I am considering going to nursing school and giving up MT for good. I have never wanted to do anything but transcribe, have over 20 years experience just like you, but the inhouse hospital jobs are gone, as are the days of getting paid by the gross line, this editing crap is the final straw, I can no longer recommend this profession to anyone.  It's really sad that nobody values the experienced MT anymore, the ones who take pride in their work, really sad..........................my income has gone from a net of $1300.00 every 2 weeks to barely more than $300.00!  My husband passed away not too long ago and I am on my own now, really scary.
Don't worry -- they are the unhappy ones...
doubt they will ever find satisfaction with their attitudes.

They should be pitied for their woeful disposition.

They are embarassing themselves.
Oh lighten up, unhappy one

unhappy people
I agree. They could care less. There has to be an end game. Maybe they're getting ready to do the India thing.
I agree. If you are unhappy with your job
for whatever reason (lack of work, jerks in mgmt) leave it and find another company -- there are others. If you don't want to edit, opt out. If you don't like the new plan, quit. Life is too short to waste time worrying about what might be forthcoming on 10/1.
To unhappy MQ oldtimer
Line rates can be deceiving.  I make 8.5 cpl now, made 10 cpl for MQ.  I'm much better off emotionally, mentally, physically and financially with the 8.5 cpl. 
So....unhappy MDI-MTs - any idea where you will
look if it comes down to having to find work somewhere else?
Does husband know how unhappy you are? SM
Men are dense. I'm not kidding. You have to beat them over the head for them to understand. I'm with the woman below who says it will be tough for single mother with two small children.

Encourage him to attend counseling with you. Some people will say it will not work, but, believe or not, most men are scared silly of being alone and will at least try to keep the marriage together. Good luck. I mean it.
some people are just so unhappy,

I am unhappy about it, but those are the rules
No young lady here is happy about it. I'm tired of being called a lier. This was in place for years. My 40-year-old friend had to get one as she never had a license until now. I'm not crazy. I do not need help and I'm sick of being called a lier here. No, this was not in place when I was 16 and getting a perment to drive. As for my daughter being sexually active, she is focused on school and works from home typing phone notes for doctors along side me-- her choice. She will be starting a new job in the summer. She doesn't date and rarely goes out. So no, she has better things to do than screw around wth the opposite sex at this point in her life. Not all teenagers are bed jumpers. I'm not blind. I know some girls are, but she is not. I know her friends, they spend a lot of time together. Sex isn't an issue right now.
No, lots others unhappy here but
have more years than you and I work for lower wages but I am no longer having to provide for kids, etc. My pay now is not for every aspect of my life financially like it used to be. What I would say and have said this, if you don't make enough, if unhappy, things are not changing in this field, pay has gone lower over the years and you need to get more than 1 job to live on or move on.
not new or unhappy. having fun. wrong on all counts.
wouldn't want to be ya.
Yes, rather be lonely and happy then with a guy and unhappy

Thank you for post. I was so much happier when I had my 3 years of single life after my divorce and before I met him. My daughter and I were on our own, I had life by the horns. I didn't have much, but was so DARN happy and CONTENT. Funny how life works.


The mortgage I am looking at for lender #1 is WHEDA 5.375 interest, 30 year fixed. #2 is anywhere from 6 to 6.25 I have been told, 30 year fixed. The problem with the place is the real estate taxes are very high.


I will keep board posted. I am sure I will have my moments.


Unhappy cable net user

I am on cable internet right now and it is always going out.  I was on Verizon DSL prior to cable and if I could switch back to DSL I would, but it is not offered where I live, only cable, so I am stuck.  There is not a huge difference in speed between DSL or cable.  I know you can pay a little more for the faster DSL package.  I don't know what your paying now, but I pay $50 a month for cable internet and I was told i could get a way faster speed on DSL for less than that per month.  Personally, I prefer DSL over cable just for the fact it only went out on me once in the 1-1/2 years I was on DSL.  I have been on cable 1-1/2 years and I was down just the other day for over 4 hours.   I lose cable connect every month. 


lol You're no employer, just an unhappy worker trying to cause
Good funny though.
Leave. For goodness sakes, if you're unhappy
get out. Stop this juvenile whine and complain behavior.

The only thing more ridiculous than your incessant whining is the fact that you have NO IDEA yet what the new plan is. You have nothing to base it on. What? The 20% ASR reduction? That was foretold upfront...it was a pilot program and the rates would be adjusted later. Well, later is here, people. This is not a new business concept. This happens all the time. The phone company does it with new services, industries do it with new products. You have an option -- opt out of ASR and transcribe. YOU HAVE A CHOICE.

Stop trying to incite panic. It's embarassing for supposedly mature, intelligent people to be acting like this. Grow up.

Reliable Internet Service? Currently using Earthlink and very unhappy.
I've been using Earthlink as my ISP but this past year the service has gone downhill.  I've been without service at least four times this year for anywhere between a few hours to a day.  Plus all tech support is out of the country so you spend more time than necessary asking the tech to repeat the instructions.  I'm looking at Verizon right now.  Comcast is not recommended.  Thanks
very unhappy verizon customer, i switched about 6 months ago
nm
Time to move on if so unhappy! I've left
s
Sounds like exactly how I feel. MQ has a tremendous amount of unhappy people and could care less.
