MQ Houston office closing? I was thinking about applying but I just heard that they are closing
the Houston office soon. What's going on with them?
Actually they will all be closing,
Except the corporate office, of course.
QT closing
yeah, like they would be kind enough to give anyone advance warning of anything. They strung along all the MTs and office people with empty promises and lies while they chortle all the way to the bank. They are NOT nice people and I hope karma bites them in the butt for the way they treated their MTs and office staff. As for severance pay? Can ya hear me laughing? From what I hear there were only a handful of MTs left, but agree with other poster, what a horrible time of year to dump your employees, be it MTs or other. Very grinchy of them
ColumbusMQ Closing
Have you been told where you are being transferred??? I hope not to Amherst---your accts will be overstaffed and you will be out of work in no time. It seems like everyone who is tranferred there with their accts is out of work shortly there after. It happened with all our accts when were transferred to Foxboro and Amherst. Has anyone had any contact from the Foxboro office lately?? I wonder if that office will be closing soon if all their accts are going up on DQS all the MT's would be transferred to Amherst
Chicago MQ--closing
Do you know where you are going to be transferred to??? Please not to Amherst
Does anyone know how many MQ offices are actually left???
are you certain the office is closing?
You might want to call there and ask.
Closing in on 3 months at KS...
and I'm very happy. I did not have full time work right out the gate as expected, but in the second week I made noises about it and they did get me backup accounts. Now I have tons of work and a real sense of security about it. The support has been great. All the managers are accessible and responsive. I came in while they were putting together a whole new benefits package so the dust is still settling on that, but I can't complain compared to what I had at my last company. When I was company-shopping I felt discouraged about all the talk about different companies, but this looks to be a situation I could settle into for what's left of my work years (too many!!). 
I heard they were closing down
completely! Something about never making any money in the MT business.
curios about MQ Ohio closing
where and when was that announced?
Ohio office closing
I remember something about MQ consolidating down to just four regional offices, but never heard of the Ohio office closing. Columbus is the only one in Ohio, but I am still curious as to where this info came from?
MQ Ohio office closing
This is to MQ'r--previously on the board there was a posting that the MQ Ohio office was going to be closed at the end of the year, if this is the only office left in Ohio, do you know where you would be transferred to. I thought you would be transferred to another office in Ohio but seeing that this is the only one that is not going to work. From what I have read on the board I would hope that it is not to the Amherst office.
And Chicago CSC is closing also as of end of October...nm

Warminster closing probably end of year.

Difference in selling and just closing down
I can understand if there were legal issues regarding the sale of a company, but rumor has it that QT is just calling it quits, I would not think there would be any legal reason not to tell anyone, maybe they are just trying to prevent the MTs from leaving before the account has terminated. Still from what I read, most of the MTs would not go until the account was gone and the doors were shut, so I think it would more professional if QT told their transcriptionists what was going on.
P.S....or if facility is closing and provided that
Which they almost certainly would in most cases. This law has NOT proven to provide the protection for laid off workers that you seem to imagine.
technically, after the closing, then employees not ICs
so might want to rethink
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
Dewey/MQ Columbus office closing
I know there have been post on this board about the Columbus/Ohio office closing BUT, these were "leaks from inhouse", speculation, etc....as is the norm with MQ.
So, I'm not sure if they do close where we would all go, get transferred to etc. I just pray they don't..why mess with a great thing ya know?
Irony - MQ is closing offices and Keystrokes just built a new one. sm
I was part time with MQ and full time with KS and now will be KS only. I am radiology, make great money and have a great lead. I would recommend them to all MQ MTs that are thinking of leaving.
The email is KeystrokesNow@aol.com. The fax is (630) 729-3177.
We do not have a referral bonus, I am just trying to help everyone that is feeling displaced.
Don't understand, are you in suspecting you are losing an account or QT closing? nm

The date
Did you notice that the date on the postings shows 03/04? That's strange, too. Where I live, in the USA, it is still 03/03.
You do not have to put your date of birth on
an application. It is illegal for them to ask age so date of birth falls in line. If you want to just provide the month and day, that's okay. The only time you would have to give date of birth or anything age related would be after you get the job and I can't really think of a reason they would need that. They would probably find it out on your driver's license for identity purposes but other than that, I see no reason to let them have it prior. Social security number again is a sensitive issue for application purposes only. When you get the job of course you do HAVE to give it whether you are employee or IC. I just would not randomly provide them with this information until you are hired and if they don't like it, they do not have to.
Did you check the date (m)
on the ad? The one I found for them on MT stars is from 2003. May not be around anymore.
Just had not said anything to date, but getting concerned. n/m

Anyone with up to date info re TRS?
What is the most up to date info on TRS? Good or bad? I read an old archives that said they deduct lines from you pay if client gets a report with errors. Also read that it is hard to get lines with their platform. Need the most current info regarding this company. Thank you.
Can someone tell me a little something up-to-date about these companies. nm
:
start date?
anybody been contacted for a new start date?
My bad. Pay date the last day of the month,
not the 30th.
IMPORTANT DATE
Another poster just indicated the date of the official merge is September 1st.
I just wanted to point this out so anyone intending to take a stand could make August 31st, 2009, their last date of employment for MDI-MD.
I have work, all on today's date.
xx
So, the ad was still posted after your cutoff date? sm
How tacky is THAT?
Any up-to-date info on Transcend?
Archives from 2005 bring up a lot of problems with platform going down. Is this still the case? Is pay on time? TIA.
scroll to posts from the date
03-03-2007. Theye are posts from management regarding PT issue.
Can you restore to an earlier date and get (sm)
the changes the techie made to your computer? I had 2 different companies set me up with an e-mail addy for their company, and got scam stock e-mails. I feel your pain.
Need up-to-date info for Medware?
I am thinking about working for them, but need current info as far as flexibility, etc.
TIA
Do ctrl S then search by your ID # and the date.
Then you can compare job #s but only if you're writing down the document ID and not the voice job ID.
Not sure if this list is up to date or if a fee is charged, but here's
Diskriter, Precyse, Opti-Script (Penn.), CIT (Charts in Time, FLA.), WebMedX, Transcend, Trans-Tech?, MQ?, Spheris, and Amphion.
Would really like any up-to-date info on Transcend.
thanks.
Need up-to-date info on DTS America
Such as platform, incentive plan if any and how does it work, benefits such as health insurance premiums, minimum line requirement, etc
Anybody know the exact start date of the
It's not the start date that's always the problem...sm
If they give you a start date and not put you on 100% QA right away...OK. If they put you on 100% QA and give you guaranteed hourly minimum while you're in training, that's OK, too. But what about the ones that put you on QA until their own QA monitor (who may be required to given feedback on everything and also have to justify his/her job and sometimes nitpicks just a little too much  )...and who will not let you do more than 2-5 jobs a day until you're off of QA?
More on Excel date/time
Sounds like you don't mind doing it, but if you're curious - check your formatting.
Go to the cell in question, then use the menu: Format > Cells
Make sure the format is GENERAL then close the dialog
Then type in 5:03 (or any time with just m:ss)
Also, try to type this in: 4:63 -- see what Excel changes it to
Good luck Excelling!
Up to date info on Deventure....Please....NM

When someone says it is my PAY DATE, I expect that to mean the day I am paid. sm
And like the poster above, every other place I have worked, if the pay day falls on a weekend, I got the pay the day before.
Congrats to you for being so quick to defend. I didn't attack the company. I only said I wanted to have a pay day I could count on. If you cannot understand that, then I'm sorry you have no compassion.
And yes, they have grown quickly, perhaps TOO quickly. They make promises to the clients without having the manpower to back it up. Then they do a massive overhiring and then the work dries up. It is a great cycle -- flooded with work, or begging for it.
I do not have to defend myself. I stand by what I said.
Make sure you get an exact date
Be careful that you get an exact training date. Otherwise, you could be left hanging for quite a while. Every time I asked when my training date was, I was not replied to.
Otherwise, I don't know much about this company because I never made it past that point.
Need up-to-date information on Sten-Tel (sm)
Is there anyone that currently works for Sten-Tel or has worked with them in the past 6 months or so that can tell me if they are a decent company to work for? I searched the archives, but everything is at least a couple years old.
TIA!!
I haven't gotten squat to date....nm

You might be able to find some info on the others in a similar fashion.
It's not that the pay is never on time, it's just that they don't give you an exact date; o
