I worked for MQ for 6 years,  and they went from bad to worse. I am glad I do not work there anymore. I worked every weekend (my choice) and almost every holiday for them. They do not give you any differential for working w/e or holidays and will try to screw you out of any $$ they possibly can.  After 6 years, no one even said thank you, good luck..nothing!!!  I now work for a company that actually appreciates my work!

Google is not a reliable source for spellings, terminology, drugs, etc.

I have had MTs tell me but I found it on google

and especially with getting the media involved. Nothing is going to happen until people realize what is happening to their personal information. It is just now coming to the forefront, thanks to the media, the reality and effect of what happens to our personal information when all of these companies have access to it and the result thereof. It's on television every time we turn around; our personal information being *out there* and in the hands of who knows who, stolen and disseminated in whatever way someone or some company chooses. As well, physicians truly need to understand that companies are outsourcing (I don't believe for a moment that most of them understand this fact). That aside, the effect on the lives and work of the American MT is something that needs to be known, and the media is the only way the information is going to be released to the general public. Using American MTs is the only way this information is *safe*, to so speak.

Additionally, as you state, using us to correct all of the mistakes made by the client in ADT and not paying us for it is so absurd, I am sick to death of it myself. I run across it every day (and MQ (for whom I work doesn't pay us, either). On one account I have, in particular, virtually nothing matches in ADT and if we don't get it correctly, it IS the fault of the MT, no matter what (??). We get email after email about it from out PS on up. Also, everything is done to lessen the line count, no matter how awful it looks. ASR keeps lessening our pay. Everything is beginning to look as if it were done by Indians or Pakistanis, etc., and it's not as if I have anything against those people, in case anyone wants to jump on me for that statement, other than they are being given our jobs. However, the work is substandard.

As an aside, can you think of any better way for a terrorist organization to infiltrate?

but was anal retentive when it came to punctuation.  You would have a report with 10 blanks in it because of poor sound quality, and he wouldn't fill in one blank, but he had put commas all throughout your report, or taken apostrophes out, etc. and he wasn't correct in his punctuation a lot of the time.   Several of the MTs complained about him and asked to not have him do their QA, so he was demoted from QA to an MT.  Well, as I said earlier, he couldn't fill in a blank.  I saw a couple of his reports and there was blank after blank in reports that I had no trouble with at all.  He also didn't proof his reports because he would have inapproriate/incorrect expansions in them.  Not sure if he left on his own, or didn't really have a choice.  Anyway, talk to your supervisor.  Maybe this person is just on a power trip, knows you are new and wants to train you to do it her way, even if your way isn't incorrect.  I think punctuation is a valid issue, but if it doesn't change the integrity of the report and there are no other errors it shouldn't be flagged by QA.    You could also take into account her corrections and maybe try to use a few more commas, etc. and that might help.  

If you're fast, you might just make production.

go down.  If you need help with tech support, you  have to email them and it takes hours, sometimes days for them to get back to you.  Then sometimes your report does not show up on the line counter and you have to notify tech to get paid, because somehow it did not go through and another MT typed the same report. 

Any account you go on will eventually be on VR, and they only pay half  your line rate, the standard is 4 cpl for VR.  The program is not user friendly. 

No matter what they tell you when they  hire you, they will eventually put your account on VR, and it can take months and months to get it down because the system does not seem to learn.  Also, my training, well they kind of throw you to the wolves. 

Also no production incentive, etc.  On VR, it can take longer to edit the report than to type it.  You can expect your checks to drop when they switch you to VR.  All they will tell you is to be patient and it is a learning curve, keep trying, etc., etc., etc.  In the meantime, your bills get behind, you can't afford things. 

I am sorry I went with this company and am hoping to get out.

Isn't it funny how some find a home where others run?  Maybe it was timing.  Who knows?  I would not recommend taking a job with her but sounds like some are quite happy and treated well.

Good luck!
