Well here we go running out of work at Amherst again. Does this go on all the time at this office as
I just started there. How many accounts do you need to have work there. This whole thing with MQ is ridiculous and they keep hiring. Must be getting ready for something.
Sorry this is the Amherst office of MQ.
:
Amherst MQ Office
Why is this office allowed to operate this way?? Why is nothing done. I wish this office would be closed and we were transferred somewhere else but it seems like any office in the NE that is closed, is sent to Amherst.
Amherst regional office
i hope that you are not referring to the amherst office, that has to be the worse office in the northeast--let's hope that the regional office is somewhere else
Which office are you in. I am in Amherst and always out of work along with everyone else. What good
do the incentive plans they bring out do if we have not work. Isnt that crazy. You get x amount of money for x amount of lines but no work and now they will give employees more leeway to get their lines in so we will all be fighting for lines at all hours.
MQ Ohio office closing-why not Amherst
What I don't understand is why they are closing an office that is obviously run very well--I don't think I have every seen anything but good about this office and yet they are closing it and continuing to leave the Amherst office open. What is wrong with this picture!!!!
Something is not right here but yet nothing is being done
no answers, but correct, not out of Amherst office.

Is this the same office as Amherst. Why do they constantly run you out of work at Buffalo with no
explanation. Well, a lot of offices that are closing are shifting to Buffalo so I will be very unhappy if I lose my accounts and I will be long gone. Are you losing a lot of MTs at Buffalo because of this.
Does anyone work for the Buffalo/Amherst office of MQ and do you get bounced around a lot on
accounts or do you have a main mostly. What can you tell me about these people.
This office may be soon joining Amherst and Foxboro so not sure about that. I have not heard much
good on here about it.
Is everyone in the Amherst office being run out of work or how are they dealing with this situation
if you are out of work. Anyone with any experience with this at Amherst that can shed some light on what to expect at this office from what you have experienced. Thanks.
Can you tell me about the Amherst office as I just got transferred there and alrady seeing my work
disappear. Where does it go.
Does anyone happen to have the number to call Amherst MQ office. Thanks much.

Warminster office is about ready to close its doors. Our accounts unfortunately went to Amherst. I
understand they are going to have a national system not regional where when there is a hospital that needs help people out of work get work in it. I would rather have a main account or a few I know so I am not sure about this new deal. Maybe they are going in with Spheris.
LOL Sit tight? Sit tight as you're
Indian MT workforce and I'm sure they are most appreciative for your labor.
I think the market is really tight right now. sm
I've been looking for work for a couple of weeks now and haven't had much in the way of offers. The few offers I have had have been really low cpl, like 5-6 cpl for subcontractor positions.
Keystrokes appears to be hiring and I've heard they have good line rates. They hire only employee, no IC from what I've been told. But, you may want to give them a try.
THe question is with that situation if they run a tight TAT are you going to be able to get those
lines. I think starting at a low base rate depending on extra lines to get money at MQ is a bad deal especially on DQS.
The tight TATs are the stem of it, the
root of the problem is the offshoring that can/will be done if we don't perform. Too many offshore entities just waiting to grab our work.
Can you apply and ask for 1 particular office or does MQ assign you per the need at the time? Used
,
Can an office/doctor replace you for time off?
I am an independent contractor. Later this year I am having a medical procedure that will put me out of commission for 4 weeks. The doctor has decided to replace me with an in-house transcriptionist.
The office manager there never liked that the doctor asked me to transcribe for him 5 years ago and I'm sure she saw this as an opportunity to get rid of me. Usually, he does everything she says but for some reason, he sought me out way back when to do this.
I was mad at first but now am just sad. It's a portion of my income but not all....what a loss though!
Is it okay to not receive any mail from the office for a few days at a time? (sm)
Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Had been getting memos quite frequently and now nothing since last week. Didn't want to call the office and look like a boob, so thought I would check here first. TIA.
I wouldn't waste my time calling the Post Office
Breitner is dishonest when it comes to their check mailing and check amounts. Same thing happened to me when I worked there and I went through the steps tracking it down. They ended up cutting me another check (weeks later) - ITS ALL A STALL TACTIC. Find employment elsewhere. This will continue to happen until you leave the company. Good Luck.
The main office was in Bolingbrook but they built an office in Yorkville last fall. SM
I think that the owners live in Yorkville, so it was built close to their house. Nice office, just pretty far out.
SW runs out of work
SW MQ office does run out of work. Rarely but it does.
DSG runs out of work a lot...

That runs in cycles
Hospital can't find transcriptionists, don't want to pay benefits, don't want to buy the equipment or want to use the space for something that pays and then they outsource. After they outsource for awhile, they don't like the quality of the work, don't like the turnaround time, don't save as much as they thought they would or can't verify the bill and then they bring it back in house. After awhile, they can't find transcriptionists, etc, etc and so forth.
Could you tell me how much your insurance runs for family?
Thanks..
It's all the same thing. Alex that runs MDI-FL also
Even though Larry is in charge, it appears to be by title only because even he defers the final say to Alex. So anything done at Transcend has to have the final stamp of approval of Alex, who also has the final stamp of approval at MDI-FL
Spheris never runs out of work
I have never run out of work working for Spheris.

Platform runs too slow for my expander
Spell checker you have to provide. Management - I experienced two good team leads, neither of whom are there anymore, other than that, not impressed. Have had situations where what I earned did not match what I was paid. Last team lead I had had a problem with being rude and expecting everone to drop their previously scheduled lives for her, while she was virtually unreachable to us otherwise. They do something every year and can a bunch of editors or MTs, bizarre yearly ritual. Perhaps things will be different now, perhaps not. Good luck either way!
Anyone know the gal who runs Professional Dictation in Alpharetta GA?
I used to work with her way back, and we have lost touch many years ago. She probably would not even remember me, but I've often wondered how she is doing. It's been far too long and too much water under the bridge to try to contact her again, but I was just wondering if anyone knows of her.....
Is this company in Florida that runs out of work? I think we must have the same job LOL

Just curious, is the MQ Nashville office the old Lanier office? nm

I don't work in the office and never claimed to. I am just saying that since the new office open
October with everyone of the admin staff in one place, these problems do not occur any more.
Sten-Tel runs out of work constantly and bad communication there. nm

Anyone know what Medware's ins. for family coverage runs. Thinking of applying
Just looking for a company that offers decent insurance for family coverage.
i couldn't take it and the crew that runs it? forgetaboutit. double horrid.
sorry you got screwed... go far far away from them. they dont' deserve you
Can't get paid in the office if you don't work in the office.
JLG has MT's working at home, not in the office, not to mention working out of state. The mail is the only way to get paid since they have temporarily suspended direct deposit. The only ones getting paid on time are the ones that do work in the office, like the management and people answering the phone.
Closed FW office, Indianapolis office too. nm

Yes. Amherst
How did you know?
MQ/AMHERST
The problem with the Amherst office is the VP in that office and the director. They are 2 overpaid women who micro manage the entire office. They need to do that to prove to the top management in the company that they are worth keeping. I would never recommend any MT staying in that office. If you want to stay with MQ I would advise transferring from the Amherst office. It will never get better with those 2 women. The in-house employees there are also very unhappy and are treated terrible by these 2 women. Unfortunately this office really gives MQ a bad name, whereas some of the other offices I think I run very well.
Amherst/ P AND M
yes you are right
amherst/P&M
I am not sure. I do know that these two women have actually had a death threat about a year ago. What a shame that corporate would allow this to continue. They must have know about that because the police were involved and it was documented. I would think the company would be fearful of more law suits, etc. not sure why they let this happen.
