Phone call (sm)
I have a feeling I might miss this famous phone call because I never answer any call I don't recognize on my caller ID, especially 800 numbers (I hate people trying to sell me stuff -- including MQ LOL).

I wonder if it will say MedQuist. Oh well, I'll just keep reading the boards and probably just as good as the phone call!

Sorry to hear about your hospital stay. Hope you feel better and more together soon. Wish I had an excuse to not have my mind together...
ANY MQ SE GET THE PHONE CALL YET?
What is this all about?
What phone call
are you talking about?
phone call
Can someone relay exactly what was said on the phone call. Was it just talking about the W account or talking about the company being sold or what. I work on a different account and I have not recieved a phone call, please clarify. Thanks.
I got a phone call from L - sm
and then a call later from the office when they needed me to stop work and send in my time and lines.

It was pretty fast.
Call them - someone can help you over the phone
Great company. If you've fallen through the loop it's probably because they have a lot of other applicants too. Give them a call. They're great people.
Did anyone receive a phone call yet
or is this all speculation???
No phone call, but a thought came to me. (sm
I wonder if they are sending out individual packets which might show the level of the employee and the rate of pay they will pay for their status and account. Since this would be on an individual basis that might account for some of the "wait and see" we are getting. Wow.... October is a long way off.

Hopefully whoever gets a call first will post and let us know whatever they find out.
MQ Phone call/Packet
Got the call and yes the packet is suppose to be in the mail in OCT--never gave it a thought that each packet might be different--as stated before none of my questions were answered. Read that the Houston office is closing, are they merging with Dallas??? Is there anyone out there still working for the Foxboro office and will they be one of the offices that will be closing in the future???
Warning about the phone call from MQ...sm

After reading the boards about the new MQ plan I went to Qnet to see what I could find.  I haven't received the packet yet nor had I received a phone call (or so I thought).  I found a section that stated I received a phone call on Sept 15th and that I had received paperwork.  I wondered what the heck was going on.  Checked my caller ID and sure enough on Sept 15th there was an 800 number (after typing it in Google I found out it was Medquist).  After talking with my husband at dinner about the new plan and the phone call he finally (after 2 weeks) tells me that they called and HE told them that I got a paper in the mail.  They never called ME back or asked that I call them with questions.  So you might want to ask your husband or kids if they talked to someone. 


 


 


Start with a phone call! sm
Call the offices or clinics, ask for the office manager, and ask about their transcription status. Go from there. You just may end up "in the right place at the right time".

It takes lots of energy and motivation, but it is well worth it.

Also, you must keep your promises to them to succeed. If you say you will have the work back in 24 hours, you must have the work back in 24 hours, etc. It is very important to be honest with your clients. They are frustrated just as much as we MTs are with the lack of honesty and integrity throughout this industry.

Good luck to you.
Nice getting a phone call, that
is nice to be appreciated.  What are their good points.  I am always looking.
Pick up the phone and call
x
call the phone company
and tell them they are, in fact, harassing you and ask them how to block their calls. That would seem to be a better way to handle it.
Didn't you get the phone call?
Even though our cost of living is probably about 5 times that of Bangalore, some genius has decided that compensation should be 'equalized'. That's about as much explanation as you're going to get. At least in my phone call, they tried to say that they conducted a survey of MTSOs and determined that we were way overpaid, so in doing the global calibration, they have determined that we won't be hurt too badly. While no specific mention was made of VR, I'm wondering if that's going to be plummeting down to the 2 cents that we thought must be a joke in a prior posting.

No packet or phone call..maybe I'm TOAST!
NM
I'm curious if any of you pick up the phone and actually call your STM sm
to discuss your worries, or do you just post anonymously on the boards and hope a miraculous change will happen by osmosis? Personally I'd call my manager and specifically request to be backed up to an account that has a lot more work on a regular basis, and maybe phase out some of the smaller other 4 accounts.

But that's just me and maybe that's why I am happy and secure here....

Good luck to you.
Breitner Transcription

I've done research on older messages about this company.  I'd like to hear from current MTs.  How do you feel about working for this company.  Out of work often? Incentive program what they promote?  How much experience do you have?  Difficult accounts?  Heavy ESL's?  How long have you been with them?  Tell me the good, bad and ugly OR the best you've ever been able to share!


Thanks!

Anyone heard of or worked for Breitner transcription? I'm interested in applying but have no references for them.  Thanks!

Don't know why that person had issues; I have been with BTS since 2002 and have never been paid late. We have a schedule for direct deposit and mine is always there, most times early. So everyone does not have the same experience...there are several who have been here as long as I have and obviously we would not still be here if we were not being paid.
Provide it to the moderators along with TB's phone number to call. :)

wish I knew...missed phone call as it was a last minute...sm
thing and not during my shift, as I work evenings. Something about changes in the organization and jobs have been phased out or merged and mine was phased out. I know that without shift leads there are going to be a lot MTs out there on their own, but what can I say. Just the way of the MT world I guess, constantly changing. lol
Get proactive!!! Pick up the phone and call the office?? NM

I saw on here a couple weeks/months ago that Breitner was not paying their employees.  I remember because I had an interview with them and was thinking of working for them but then got sick.  I've searched the archives and cannot find the messages.  Does anyone know if they've fixed this problem?  i see that they have an ad for DS and weekly pay.  Thanks.

Thanks, Guess I will look for better.

I am appealing to the masses of MTs, especially the ones who have had any experiences with Breitner TS based in Massachusetts.  I am at a crossroad regarding them and what they did to me and wonder if they have done this same thing to anyone else.  Please email me if you have experience, good or bad, with Breitner T services.  Basically, this is the story: I tested for them, they called and offered me a FT position, but had to use my own computer.  My older PC was tested by them and it did not pass, so I bought a brand new computer to work for them.  I had 2 days of training and they let me go.  They eventually paid me for the training.  I do not understand how a company can do this and get away with it.  Believe me, I cannot afford to buy a computer and now I have to pay for it and I am not working for them.  Any advice would be appreciated.  Thanks so much.
Anyone work for Breitner Transcription?
If so, do you know what the compensation rate is for PTO? Also, were you affected by the overpayment for lack of work time?  Other comments?
Breitner Transcription does/did the same thing.

Can anyone tell me about Breitner Transcription Company. nm
:
Breitner Transcription Paycheck?
Do you get paid by direct deposit or have your check mailed?  What is your pay date?  I'm sitting here waiting for my check from the 15th.  When it didn't come by Saturday, the 20th, I e-mailed and asked about it.  Now they're telling me that the pay dates are 4th and 20th of the month, so my check won't even be mailed until today and I have stuff bouncing all over the place!!!!! 
information on Breitner Transcription please
Any information of any kind would be great.  anything new with them? 
Make a phone call. Too important to leave to email. nm

Is it possible to do call forwarding to one of those expensive phone sex lines? teehee.

Good point. Who do I get on the phone if I have to call customer service
for my credit cards, or software questions, or whatever?  I get someone who I can barely communicate with in the freakin Philippines, or wherever.  It is so WRONG.
I did phone training years ago on the platforrm and was paid 50.00 per call (sm)
The call usually lasted an hour, and was one-on-one.
I didn't even receive the courtesy of an e-mail, phone call, etc. sm
I thought the test was very easy. I've got 18-years of experience, sent a cover letter (that I spent an hour on) in addition to my resume and got not response whatsoever. The least an MTSO could do is say, Thanks, but no thanks. Daily applications, cover letters, and testing without so much as an email is beyond frustrating!
I received a phone call from MDI mgt. about my questionnaire answers and told ICs must by E/O ins.

Any info on Breitner Transcription-good or bad?

I have been through the archives already and I am just looking for any info (good or bad) on Breitner Transcription.


Any info would be much appreciated.


Can anyone from the Ohio MQ office give me a contact person and a phone number to call so I can talk
to someone there without getting a lot of other people involved before I find out what kind of accounts they have to offer. I am interested in transferring from my current office but would like to speak with someone up there first. Even an email address of someone would help.
On-Call Transcription company
Does anyone know anything about this company??  I heard that they recently moved to Charlotte NC.  From what all have told me, I have heard NOTHING good about them.  Their ethics and treatment of clients and MTs are horrendous.  Please let me know.  Thanks!!!
Did anyone get a call back regarding the job with CLK transcription? nm

Any experience with On-call Transcription Service?

Web site address?  How are they to work for?  Demanding/easygoing?  Line rate?  Pay on time?  Platform?


TIA.


Call the hospital medical records dept and ask who does their transcription. They will tell you.

Worked on C-phone for 10 years with 1 phone line
nn
C-phone - I purchased a c-phone from someone in Oklahoma but never got it. *sm*
First she told me her grandmother died. Then she told me she mailed it. Then she told me her daughter was having chemotherapy. Call me naive, but I thought she was sincere and cannot imagine anyone using their daughter as an excuse. If this is the same person from Oklahoma, I sure would like to know about it because now I want my money back.
I don't have a second phone line ... cable modem for the internet, regular line for my C-phone.

If anyone wanst to get through to me while I'm working, they have my cell phone number.


And, as I said, some accounts are using wav files -- no doubt soon all of the accounts will convert.  Hope so ... would make it easier (less expensive) to work when traveling.  :-)



Lots of good companies out there -- hope you find one that fits :)


 


 


Yes, call waiting works. I also have call forwarding from my home line
