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
Why does Amherst not offering anything at all. I guess because they have enough of us idiots to do
what little work there is there is no need to pay for anything at all. I guess they would rather keep hiring than allow us to have work and get a little extra on weekends and holidays. Nice right.
Dont count on it. We got transferred to Amherst and all of a sudden tons of backups on the accounts
and no work.
Thank you both. I guess I was just wondering what happens with companies when you dont
get your lines in. It seems like a lot of places are running the MTs out of work. I didnt mean Keystrokes had no work I was just wondering what happens like at DSG when you dont get lines. Do they fire MTs for that reason if there is no work. I was just curious since you both worked at DSG and I hear other MTs at other companies saying the same thing so what happens in that case.
Maybe they dont answer because there is no work to get.Best way to avoid things I guess.
:
Just dont ever forget the work that goes to India and other countries. I guess they will be doing
weekends etc. I am sure MQ has this all very nicely figured out.
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

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

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
Amherst/No Work
I was transferred to Amherst over 9 months ( I was tranferred there from Foxboro because there was no work there) ago and I am having the same problem since I started there. I really think that no one cares. I don't care how many times you call the office or email, nothing is never done. It seems so unfair because the other MQ offices have work and we seem to have the only office that is run like this--AWFUL!!!! Is there anyone out there that works for the Amherst office that never runs out of work and if so, how many accounts do you have??? Why doesn't someone in Corp helps us and get this office run right
Amherst I assume.
:
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.
Amherst MQ Office
Why is this office allowed to operate this way?? Why is nothing done. I wish this office would be closed and we were transferred somewhere else but it seems like any office in the NE that is closed, is sent to Amherst.
why they keep amherst open
amherst office runs all of the east coast offices. So you are probably safe if you tell HR you want to be managed by the west coast team. I think they are much nices to their MTs
You must not work out of Amherst
I am required to work 8 hours a day, being fulltime, and required to type a certain amount of lines per pay period. If I get my lines in before the 8 hours, I cannot stop working until I have worked the 8 hours. They are watching. Why do I have to do both?
It does not make sense to me. I DO NOT get paid by the HOUR. I get paid by the LINE.
Does anyone have an answer to that one?
RUN FROM AMHERST AS FAST AS YOU CAN.
:
Amherst and lack of work
How do you deal with it?? You try to get someone at the office to listen to you and then you start the endless list of 5 or 6 accounts that you bounce around it, trying to meet your line quota in fear that they may take away your insurance and now that the MT's from yet another office closing have been transferred there, I somehow do not know if this will even end. If MT's are out of work, why does the hiring continue?????? Or as someone has said, are they trying to get rid of the higher paid MT's, afterall MQ did say in their SEC report that they expected thier revenue to continue to decline with the loss of accounts and with new accounts coming in at a lower rate due to competition. One of the MT's that was transferred with me to Amherst, actually we have been transferred twice since the closing of our office, has started to do some ASR and was wondering if her pay scale was going to change. Her supervisor made a comment, "I don't think your rate will change, I will let you now" , has anyone had their rate change since doing ASR?????
Does anyone know how many offices MQ had 2 years ago and how many they have now?? Just curious as this was one of the things mentioned in the SEC filing ---about more offices closing--are they going for the Big Four--I was surprised to see that the Atlanta office was closing as I always thought that was one of the Big Four
Amherst needs 2 take a course in managing a business...
from Columbus. Great office! Kudos to ya guys...
amherst paying production and pto only?
Does that mean that if you work at Amherst office, there is no such thing as full-time and no health benefits? Very confused. If the packet states you can work 8, 16, 24 hours are you considered employee, and they take out your taxes. Am I understanding there will be no such thing as SE anymore? Please can some clarify these questions. TIA
Amherst regional office
i hope that you are not referring to the amherst office, that has to be the worse office in the northeast--let's hope that the regional office is somewhere else
MQ Ohio CSC
Ohio has to be one of the best offices to work for in the MQ system. My girlfriend got transferred there a couple of months ago and has never run out of work yet and she is only in one account, communications is great, all kind of incentives that you do not have to ask for---just my luck when I asked to be transferred there, supposedly there is a freeze on transfers and I am stuck in the northeast
Keep up the good work Ohio--it is appreciated by the MT's that work there.
OHIO MQ
 You must be management, or a favorite, or something! That is NOT how it is. I have been there for 5 years+. Did someone ask you to post that to boost morale or what? 
Ohio MQ
 I hope you hold that high opinion after you've been there awhile. You DO run out of work, poor communication, lots of luck getting a raise. If there is any question or problem, you cannot get a response. Good luck.
Ohio MQ
If i didn't know you were talking about Ohio, I would have thought you were talking about foxboro and amherst. My girlfriends dealing with the Ohio office has been nothing but good and actually i know of at least 3 others that were in my old office before it closed and they opted to go to Ohio rather than be transferred to foxboro and it has worked out great for them. maybe with the lack of work in foxboro, that could be why she was transferred. i always thought the foxboro office would close and just merge with the amherst office anyways. after all i thought the goal of MQ was to have all their accounts on the platform and those of us that are still in foxboro are on MTS so are we a dying breed
Try Ohio...
Ohio MQ is awesome - plenty of work!
MQ/OHIO...
I have all those things U want working 4 MQ/Ohio...come join me in the Buckeye State, where the grass is always greener....
MQ/Ohio - sm
Would you email me and tell me how to go about contacting that particular office? I was offered a job by MQ about a month ago, but it was for the Denver office. They told me that was the only place that had a radiology position....thanks greenfl3@yahoo.com
Ohio MQ-What is not to like
Does she like working for the Ohio office over the Amherst/Foxboro office??? What is not to like, she is in ONE account and always has work, when transferred was told that she would be paid extra for working after 3PM, working on the week-ends, and working on the holidays and the most important thing about all this is that she did not have to ask, this is the norm at the Ohio office, Again and again it is stated, why are not all the MQ offices run the same?????? Maybe if they were, it would not be so miserable working for the Amherst office. We are not asking for too much, just to have the chance to make a living.

i am in ohio
PDA out of Ohio
Two girls in my office type for PDA at home at night and love both the owners. They are very fair and helpful. When they have QA questions, they get right back to them
I wonder if this is the old MRC from Ohio. nm

Ohio MT
Read Pat Buchanan's THE DEATH OF THE WEST.
They are out of Ohio

p.r.n. in Ohio
I worked for them for a short time over the summer; very nice and laid back folks. Pay is good for experienced MTs and always on time!!! I really enjoyed working for them and only left because I'm working a full-time employee status job now with Axolotyl.
Which office are you in. I am in Amherst and always out of work along with everyone else. What good
do the incentive plans they bring out do if we have not work. Isnt that crazy. You get x amount of money for x amount of lines but no work and now they will give employees more leeway to get their lines in so we will all be fighting for lines at all hours.
I have been with MQ Amherst now for 3 weeks and have continually run out of work. I know this has
been hashed out on here many times but my question is does anyone expect this problem to ever get resolved or should we simply expect to keep running out of work at Amherst forever. I know when they call me about the new pay plan and tell me it is incentive based I plan to tell them they better make sure we have work or their plan is a joke. What can I expect with this office and what can be done to correct it. I dont plan to have to work 8 accounts to get my lines in and have them QA me on accounts I have never done besides. If this problem is long standing and unlikely to be resolved it is time to either get out of that office or get out of MQ so I would like some good ideas and comments on this. We know it exists but what is the next step.
My opinion on QA point plan at Amherst
Yes it is ridiculous and you cannot possibly get a bonus for what they require 15% or fewer reports sent to QA every quarter. $50 and $100; what are they crazy.
no answers, but correct, not out of Amherst office.
