Columbus Office
I am in the Columbus office. There is ALWAYS plenty of work (more than I think can ever be done :-) But, I don't like my hours being micromanaged (I'm an SE) and am producing WAY over minimum, so don't bug me if I work 3 hours and produce 1000 lines, when I could really slow it down and do my minimum 400 lines a day and drag it out to 5 hours.
MQ-Columbus/Amherst
I too work for the Colunbus office and it is the best. I have one primary acct and I am able to do 15,000 lines a pay period and never worry about running out of work. I am not bragging about it, I feel sorry for the MT's in the Amherst office and wish that your office was run like the Columbus office. Why do the big wigs let something like this continue on and give MQ a bad name. Rumor has it that my office is closing and we are being transferred to the Cleveland office, that is fine, as long as it is not to the Amherst office.
MQ Columbus/OHIO SC
Not sure how long you have been with Columbus Buffy, but Columbus is now the ONLY Ohio CSC, ergo called the Ohio CSC. Cleveland, Toledo, Dayton & Cincinnati were consolidated 2 years ago under the Columbus office to form the Ohio CSC. Now many of my old timer's that I started with inhouse went home to either work or retire.
I've been with them for 21 years now (starting with the old Transcriptions Limited) and have been through more supervisors, coordinator's and managers than I care to think about, but I honestly believe the reason we are so successful now is that our operations manager has been there/done that. Started as an inhouse M/assistant, worked up a few notches into various positions IE; scheduling, weekend coordinator, supe, etc. Went home to MT for a while then came back in a few years back and really worked her way up into the present position. Her ability to know what's needed all the way around, delegate and common sense attitude really speaks for itself in how successful we are.
Nope, never met the OM, only talked to her on the phone over the years and am not *the cheerleader*. Only stating what I know for a fact and what works for my CSC.
Do they still do Doc Hospital of Columbus,GA
Loved that account, then it went to India. Does Heartland still have that account? Thanks!
the only time I ran out was on columbus day
other than that nope. I'm sure it will be quite slow thanksgiving week, which is okay with me and christmas week. I'm used to that from when I was doing my own accounts, the docs usually took those weeks off or all the patients would :) But I'm good with it, at least I can spend time with my kids while they are on school breaks...I just have to plan ahead. Feel free to email me anytime, its nice talking with someone who I work with.
Goodbye to DRC
Is it only me or is everyone SAD about this. I feel like someone died. Obviously cannot stay with DRC because it's a trust thing and just do not trust them (Acusis) to tell the truth. They have to keep current MTs happy for at least three months until the dust settles, then the ax will swing. Anyway, I reiterate it -- Goodbye DRC, a really wonderful place to work. It will be sorely missed!
Goodbye Witches
Wouldn't that be nice!
Bon Voyage, Goodbye to MQ!
Eight working days and counting down.....
Apology and goodbye
My apologies to all for adding wrong. You are correct. Have you looked for work lately? Who is offering 13 cpl? You must be around for awhile. I have been offered 7 cpl doing surgeries and I have 2 years' experience.
You know what, I am off this board. I have been kicked around enough by these companies. I don't need more of it. Plenty of people are getting out of this business because they can't cut it. You rubbing it in, doesn't help any of this. We are supposed to support each other not inflate our egos. Hats off to you who are making $50 an hour. I don't believe it but fine. You can reply all you want to me. I won't answer. Say good riddance too. This is e-mail. We all hide behind it.
To: Apology and Goodbye
Well said. The rest of us can do the math. My friend is a PA in the Midwest. She makes $50 an hour. What a shame that she did not become an MT. In real estate we call bragging about earnings puffing. With puffing there is margin for stretching the truth. I'm not accusing anyone here, but if the hat fits, any puffer wear it. In the meantime, I hope the MTs on this board will continue to support one another and be kind enough to share information and resources, and not assume that others who are not doing so well financially somehow lack in skill and experience. Don't leave the board. People have a right to their opinions, that's is what makes this board unique. We just need to support one another more.
Goodbye to Spheris
I am leaving Spheris after 9 years. I can not take the loss of income anymore. I took the time that I needed to find a company that does not do SR and has excellent compensation. Spheris is now the Walmart of Medical Transcription as far as employee compensation goes. The only good thing left is the PTO and I am sure that will eventually be reduced or eliminated. Good Luck!
one more note, then goodbye to you.
YOU are the only one that seems to need the explanation I gave. You admittedly tried to antagonize using the term typist and yet you say I overdramatize? Me thinks you are the drama queen that needs to get over YOURself, with nothing better to do than stir the pot, and YOU are the puffed up one. FYI, no I do not try to impress anyone with my fund of knowledge. You obviously judge others by yourself -- and hopefully you are not too naive to understand what I am saying. Good day troublemaker.
Info on Columbus MQ and DEP platform...anything you can give me.
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?
Well, goodbye and good luck to you...
I'm staying with DRC. As long as my account stays with the new company, I will, too. :-)
Today is Columbus day, and state offices and post office
is closed. Perhaps some docs took a long weekend. Maybe that is why on this particular Monday the work is trickling in. I am just getting some work now. So maybe it will come in later. Just an idea, about it being a holiday.
I got broadband today, goodbye MTSO vultures
I'm going back to work directly for a hospital from home! I'm so excited. That means health insurance, dental, 10 sick days, 10 vacation days, 6 holidays and rotating weekends where I get 2 of them off a month. These are people that don't discount lower lines because you're on crappy work but appreciate that do the crappy work. The bonus is people who actually care about me and know medicine, medical transcription and how hard I'm working for them. I'm so tickled that I may even offer to work on Christmas Day (and they pay 1.5x when I do)!
I feel like a real person again!
ANON, you're such a loser for posting your 2 cent goodbye!
