Can you tell me about the Amherst office as I just got transferred there and alrady seeing my work
disappear. Where does it go.
They really dont pay enough for having most ESL accounts. Hard to get a good line count
and then to only make 8 cpl. It really is not worth it. Chartscript is not productive in my opinion.
Yes, I am talking about the fact that our accounts are being transferred to the NE Region. Are you
not aware of that. It is happening on Monday morning.
Not yet but our office is being transferred there I think with out accounts. Doesnt sound good. Why
did you transfer from Foxboro. I wont stay there if they take me off my accounts. How is the quality with putting people on all these accounts. It is my understanding all the NE offices will be working out of Amherst fairly soon. What a fiasco that sounds like it will be. How long do you think this will last until all the good MTs move on if that office contines to do that.
I guess Amherst, NY and Ohio but I dont know the 3rd one.
:
check the dates and look again, count tons from one
company as well....no better just different and those companies are here too!! what the hay, eh????
I have no problem with the main job board mtjobs.com
Is there a reason that MTs get nothing extra at Amherst and have so many accounts. Who is in charge
that makes these decisions or do the decisions come from Corp and are going to be the norm for all MQ main offices.
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.
C-phone accounts have tons of work
but you have to have unlimited long distance
I do Rad for TT. Pay is good, tons of work, decent accounts. I know they are hiring a few more
Rad MTs now. I would highly recommend.
You cant go by that alone- some dont count headers and footers, etc.
You cant always go by Word count alone.
The sound on some of the accounts is so terrible I dont see how anyone does well with QA. You
can hardly understand what they are saying. You do the best you can.
Dont you have to pay for internet and long distance charges from them because most of their accounts
are not on the internet. I think this is the company.
For my own accounts I use MP count and
I works really well and the best part is its FREE!! Here is the link:

Yep, I have plenty of backups, too. nm

I never run out of work at TT with backups
Backup accounts and/or minor schedule adjustments are the ticket here.
Tons and tons of stuff in the archives. nm
Made my line count from day 1 and off QA on FOUR accounts first week sm
Yes and it is the truth, thank you very much. I did get my line counts from DAY ONE. Getting to 1100 is easy, it is getting from 1500 to 2000 that is real work.
I would say that 2000 lines a day is DOABLE. Week one, made my 5500 lines. New pay period, have 12,000 for 2 weeks. I am shooting for 100 lines a day more each week until I hit 1500 lines a day, every day. I will then increase by 50 lines a day until I am at 1700 to 1800 every day. This is where my budget tells me I need to go.
I also work an IC position in addition to TT. I have about 500 lines a day there, just put in an hour or two, rarely three and for now, I need the money.
TT is wonderful in many ways. I often find errors from other MTs in old reports being from the month I have been there. Some are not as careful as they should be and are after line counts. I am after line counts too, but it was not my first goal, getting of QA was my first goal. That and I give a flying crap about my work! It would be good if they did audit after an MT is off of QA or if we had a system to report errors we find, but there aren't these things. Oh well.
They treat me nice and have lots of work. THAT is my business, not the way the company is run or what they do.
Not sure exactly. We all have many backups now and short of work so we wont do you much good up
there. Are a lot of MTs leaving because of this lack of work. How do you do with those quality checks being shifted around on accounts all the time. Dont you have that QA plan up there. Well, I will have to find who to complain to if this happens because I do complain about things like that.
Too many variables to count. A lot depends on shift, accounts, what types of work you do. (sm)
I can be totally out of work on my 2 accounts and pull up backlog report and see some accounts have OT offered.
Every company has some employees totally satisfied with amount of work and some who run out totally.
Like I said, many, many variables to be figured in.
Keystrokes accounts all count the expanders as characters printed with spaces, not the abbreviation.
I have checked it, but we use Shorthand. What are you using?
I just transferred SH files there
I just started there this week and was able to transfer my old SH files from my last job into their SH, no problem.
If you work on the RadNet program and dial in with the VPN dialer, your email is disabled until you get off the VPN. I have to call people with any questions instead of emailing them as long as I'm on that VPN.
I don't know that it can be transferred to Word SM
auto-correct. You can, however, transfer your user file over to a 3rd party Expander like ShortHand (which is what I use) and, I believe, also Instant Text.
You can download a 30-day free trial of SH. The tech people at SH were able to help me with transferring my expansions over to SH. Well worth the money IMO.
I know what you mean about not wanting to start from scratch.
and you all of a sudden..
Had the time to post something positive just because someone else did? Sorry, there's too many of us who you will not convince. Why don't you get back to being TOO BUSY WORKING?
Can the MQ glossary be transferred to the platforms
nm
Can MQs expander be transferred to Diskriter,
nm
all of a sudden wham
things will change
Why, though all of a sudden do these posts pop up?
I was thinking about it last night and since this is an anon board, I wonder if sometimes negative posts about companies which pop up out of nowhere come from other recruiters to cut down the competition of labor. Right now E-Trans Plus has a good deal, a good sign on bonus. After doing a lot of research I have heard nothing but positive. Now, suddenly these bad posts show up. Seems fishy, I think. It isn't like the other companies which have a stream of good/bad, etcetera. This is popping up out of nowhere, and it looks like I don't trust it. Therefore, I will remain confident in my research, and the fact that so far in the hiring process they have been nothing but open with me. It has also been obvious that if you do less lines, you get less pay, but that would be if you do not meet production. If you are not provided enough work, I would say you would communicate this with your supervisor before you got busted down on lines. Or if your lines seemed to be getting slow to type, and take too long you would address that too. This is why I tend to believe Amanda, because she has been consistent whereas these new posts seem to be coming out of nowhere. That is my 2c.
Exactly. Why the sudden push to VR?
Unless the company is in financial trouble. We never know because they never tell us anything. This is the only place we can ever find out information.
Whatever it is, I suspect it is time to move on...
All of a sudden I wish I was/were? older???
Too long to retirement, too old to go back to school.
Better dust off the exercise equipment and find a new husband
LOL ROFLOL
No C-phone - wav files transferred from an FTP site. nm
there was a post on them on this board, but all of a sudden ....
it has disappeared .... I have to choose my words carefully, but I think the Administrator took it off the board because they were posting a job on the company board. The administrator does not let companies that offshore post for jobs - AND I PRAISE THEM FOR THAT!!!!
lots of inquiries all of a sudden
Not much in archives, but you can check out the boards here page 2, 3 and 4. maybe emailing some of those that posted for further details. It has been noted that management likes to review the boards, so a little weary of leaving details on board - although page 3 is pretty interesting.
I work for them too and was wondering the same thing?? What gives all of a sudden?? nm

Sudden change in 1099 status?
why would a company after YEARS of having IC's suddenly push everyone into an employee status? Does this have anything to do with trying to make the company less likely to be unionized??? Or is there something else entirely going on that Im missing all the way around?
I dont cherry pick, never did. I dont do that to my coworkers on my account.
What is the new status. I dont understand what it means. I dont need their benefits nor do I want
them.
I dont know what that means. I am an SE. I dont sit and wait for work I come back in when it is
there so I never had to deal with Amherst when there was no work because I just stopped working and did other things. My feeling is if this doesnt work there are other jobs out there.
I just dont want to hit that extra space if I dont get paid for it, ya know. No message.
nmnmnm
If I cant make QA, dont give me work. Dont dock
x
I didnt get the packet, do we have to take their insurance if we dont need it. I dont want it. Wish
I would have gotten the stupid thing to read.
Well, I know that MTs from my office have quite MQ and they dont post on here but I dont know how
many. I think MTs with MQ may be getting second jobs and just working for 2 different places at the same time which is probably the smart thing to do anymore because MQ will continue with this short TAT and as it spreads throughout other offices people will continually be running out of work especially after going on DQS.
You obviously have the wrong company. If they dont IM you, then you dont have it on..
I smell management. Nothing you said makes sense unless there is another Focus out there.
Sorry if I dont like gutter humor. Also dont like
x
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.
Buffola/Amherst
They are both the same. I think any office that is closed in the northeast, the transcriptionists are sent to Foxboro or Amherst, therefor lots of MT's and no work
Sorry this is the Amherst office of MQ.
:
Amherst and no work
It does not matter if it is the end of the pay period or not, I am always running out of work since I was transferred to the Amherst office. Too may MT's and not enough accounts and yet they are still hiring. My girlfriend was lucky enough to be transferred to the Ohio office and actually had an incentive for this week end--go figure
