I have had accounts request a certain MT
Posted By: me on 2006-01-04
In Reply to: They did send the reports back to me. I guess I figured they - Frustrated
off because of quality issues, although why they made it to the client I'm not sure as they should have been caught in QA.

Well speaking as a QA person I have actually known accounts to request
specific MTs off their accounts so it does happen so it really is not that uncommon.
Good luck in finding another job and hopefully you will be more careful.
request
who is it you are trying to locate at medquist, i am an MT there presently, perhaps i can help
I JUST POSTED A REQUEST!!!
There are two TN MTSOs who seem to have a problem with their 401K. Help if you have any problems or know of them.
request to fingers
Hi fingers. If you dont mind, I am out of work since April and trying to find somewhere paying okay. I left Medquist and they called me asking to come back. I am desparate at this point and am thinking about it. How do I contact e-MTS. HEEEELLLLLP. Here is my email address: baker699@adelphia.net
I would definitely request a max. of 5 specialties. SM
I have no idea who you work for, however I do not think it is unrealistic to request a reduction in the number of specialties that you work on. Any intelligent MTSO would certainly want to accommodate an MT in this regard. After all, it only increases your production, thus increasing the TAT to the client. Unless you work for a big national (won't mention names) and working in a cesspool mess, then there is just poor business sense. What can it hurt to ask, and if they don't accommodate you, look elsewhere. I have been in a situation similar to yours (15 specialties), but no matter how proficient I became with each specialty, I was never able to make good money. I was constantly transitioning back and forth from different templates for different specialties, in addition to different templates for different doctors (even if working on the same specialty), looking up doctors addresses, etc. I moved on, and luckily with the number of years experience that I have, I specified my need for a few steady accounts before I signed on the dotted line. Good luck, but don't settle for less than you are worth.
I sent a request for their website and
this is what he gave me -

Is is ever appropriate for an MT to request a raise?
Would anyone who has requested a raise be willing to share their experience with me? How long were you with the company before you asked for a raise? Were you an IC or an employee? What was your company's response in general? If you were granted a raise, what was considered before it was given to you? Time in? Quality of work? Production? Attitude/flexibility? Coming up on my 1 year anniversary an IC and would like to ask for 0.05 cent/line raise, but don't know if I should even consider doing so. Would not want the company to lower their opinion of me/punish me for asking. Your kind, and most importantly, nonsarcastic responses are greatly appreciated. This is a sincere post.
Exactly! And I did request results...
of my testing or a more definitive answer and received no reply. I learn new things every day--sometimes things that I have been doing incorrectly. If it was, indeed, a timed test...I was screwed because I checked EVERYTHING. I have even submitted a copy of what I typed (Yes, I copied and pasted to a Word document) to my current supervisor and asked her to point out my errors. She found none and I feel better:)
Just like I had a client request
each day. I said absolutely not as I am an IC and I am not available sometimes before 4 p.m. and also may not have the work complete. Once the doctor found out, he was definitely agreeable to my take on this situation as opposed to his office staff. You see, sometimes, the office staff whether it be for your own private client or for a company will try to get over. I also informed this office staff that I would have to be an employee for that as well as paid an hourly rate in order to be on call. I work by production at my own leisure. I give them the turnaround they would like, but that includes delivery. The physician has not and will never have a problem with that; it's the office staff that wants to see me sweat because remember they think we have it made. Without benefits, I call my own shots. Like or not, the client/MTSO contracting with you must give you that right OR make you an employee if they'd like to demand things. All in a day's work!
Does an MTSO have a right to request..
My credit report/score?? I have applied for an employee position with a company that actually has decent reviews here. The company wants me to grant permission for them to access our personal financial information. My husband and I discussed it and have decided against this based on the simple fact that our my credit report has absolutely no relevance whatsoever with home-based employment. I could understand it if I was working in a field related to finance, handling money, or even dealing with the public. I don't have anything to hide. It's just the principle.
Can I be denied employment for not allowing them access to my CR? Anyone else experience this?
TIA!
Tell them you will comply with their request
start emailing you every time the well runs dry, stating why that happened and what corrective actions are being taken to remedy the situation. Be sure to emphasize the requirement to inform you precisely when the next reports will appear and how much work you will be able to find on the system at any given hour on any given day.
Sheesh! If it were me, I'd stay put just as long as it takes to get something else lined up and then submit your final email and tell them toodle-loo.
Can you request certain job types...sm
Do they let you request certain job types?
My favorite type of job is operative notes and I would be more than happy to take them off everyone's hands. My ideal day would be operative notes (with an occasional psych eval and ER note mixed in). I dream of the days when I could work without a set schedule on the work types that I liked on ONE account. Those were the days.
I'm been with MQ for almost 10 years and right now I'm in the cesspool of 25+ different hospitals; never having the same doctor; I just talked to my supervisor on the phone for the first time ever last week (and she's been my supervisor for 8 months now); haven't had a raise in 5 years despite asking every year. I've stuck it out for the last 3 years being unhappy because I felt fortunate to be able to work from home. I finally got mad enough this past week that I put my resume out and now I have 3 different companies to interview with in 2 days.
My request for workers
Apparently all of you who are so disgusted with my posting are so busy that you have time to be on this chat board. I, am quite busy and do not have time to filter through hundreds of resumes, which I have received in the past from a posting. Therefore I was upfront and honest about what I needed and what I would pay. NO, this is not subcontracted work, this is a full fledged hospital account, if it is any of your business. Spend time working not running other people down that you know nothing about.
She specifically said we had to request
If we miss work for any reason we are supposed to put in for PTO; then if we make it up by the end of the week we can cancel the PTO request. She specifically mentioned that the only time we have the option of not using PTO and going unpaid is when we have used all our PTO up. She mentioned all this in a blanket email to the whole team right before we started regularly running out of work due to overhiring. How plain does it need to be?
I'm not saying it isn't legal to request it
I'm just saying it seems a bid inconsiderate. She isn't a new employee and she isn't an employee. She is an IC who has been working for them and obviously has handled their accounts for a while now. If she was a brand-spanking new MT to the company and clients, the request wouldn't seem so unreasonable.
If it is a new platform that they're rolling out, wouldn't it be more considerate to train the ICs online rather than expect them to travel for training at their expense? If she was an employee, the company would have to pay the expenses, but it seems they're just taking advantage of the fact that she is an IC.
WHY NOT REQUEST A PROMOTION (eg., QA) - SM
since you seem to like to nit-pick other MTs' small typos. I'm sure you'd feel right at home there ... as far as this board is concerned, the poster whom you feel the need to criticize IS NOT ON YOUR PAYROLL -- unless you're trying to deflect from the message of the poster. 
some request to know cpl before testing.

comany info request
Hello all ~
Does anyone know anything about the following companies and could share experiences, etc? They are Freedom Type and Private Secretary. Also, does anyone know of any companies who handle just clinic or VA accounts?
Thanks so much!
I believe it's quite reasonable to request a deposit on the..
equipment. WMX does not require you to use their computer, but your personal computer must meet the system requirements to be used, so update it if you must. The deposit is deducted over 4 pay periods IIRC, and you will get it back when you leave the company and return the equipment.
Too bad you take this stance. I wonder how many good companies you've passed on. WMX is one of the best. It's a shame you'll never know that.
They do offshore, but only at the request of the client. nm

The client has to specifically request no
offshoring to not have it sent out. If nothing is said, the Q is able to do what they want with it.
I would request a copy of the test
to review and learn from. I'm not saying that you did make any mistakes, but it would be easier to think that if the company is not willing to provide you with that. I would definitely want a copy for my own knowledge.
Its a reasonable line request
Even with a slow, troublesome platform and lots of crappy ESL, I always do more that 1600 lines per 8 hour shift. The only way I wouldn't is if I ran out of work or had a lot of interruptions, or just felt like goofing off.
GREAT POST!! MY REQUEST..
I wish that you would share your post directly with MTSOs who may not see it here, by anonymous email or some other method. Actually, I just might send the link to the HR manager of some of these MTSOs, if that's okay.
Recently, my Indian manager was replaced by a female USA manager, who has some of these traits/habits, the worst of which is that we have received emails that indicate her inclination to always assume that 100% of the clients concerns are the fault and responsibility of the MTs, that MTs should be able to read minds, etc., etc. Her communication style is very condescending. If you email a question, you don't expect an answer unless she decides that it is important. You know the type. I can't wait to find out how it all works out in the months to come.
I wanted, I got. Maybe its your attitude with which you request?
Sounds like to me you have issues.

did not receive yahoo request sm
can you resend it as I did not get it. You have my yahoo email there right? I will be back in about 2 hours adn will check for it again then. thanks so much!!
LOCKED ON POSTER REQUEST...
Need I say more. You are a goof! Thanks for the laugh.
It is the lady who I call to request time off?
nm
I get half the number of reports I request each sm
download, and then I have to call and ask for more work. Of course, then I have to wait for it, sometimes it never comes in, and I give up after waiting 45 precious minutes. Could this be why there were problems with TAT--that MTs weren't getting the work DURING THEIR REGULARLY SCHEDULED WORKDAYS??
The OP could have been me posting. I voiced my sadness to this company using the very same words.
I am sick about this.
I won't be defending this company here anymore, either. I've found that indifference helps to mend wounds such as these.
6 request for info on them in last year, no answers
nm
KS lead, if you had any business sense you would never request such a thing. I have
never seen such a display by a lead in my life. Asking someone for initials on a public board is way too below the caliber of any leads I have ever known. It is just not done.
One request, please -- all you Transtech cheerleaders go to your Yahoo board
Why are you showing up here tonight. GO where you belong!
Most of the positive posts about TT and VR are mgmt posts; they always do this, but you other cheerleaders/favorites, go to your new Yahoo Board and leave us along who don't want to work for LESS MONEY.
By the way, I have done VR with TT and HORRIBLE. I can't make even close to the money I can with normal transcription.
VR is more money in the pockets of TT execs. Not in the MT's wallets.
Not true. This info is on the Company board per Admin's request.
It is all clearly marked "MQ" somewhere in the subject line or name.
The Main board is virtually free of the new MQ posts. Go back over there or just scroll down the page to where you want to read.
No one has forced you to read anything. Admin made a request that the new MQ info be placed on this board and we have complied.
You're not obliged to read if you don't want to.
It is almost common place to say No to request to contact current superv. (sm)
I always put No - they may not contact my current supervisor. Don't want any inuendos or implications mucking up my current job OR my job prospects. I have also put NO regarding former employers. One in particular I left because she couldn't pay me and we did have heated words. If the company wants references, I'll choose them, not vice versa.
i would call at the high ups every night after midnight to request you be taken off their employee l
keep calling each of them every night after midnight as they do to you until you finally make someone upset enough that they see to it that you are removed from ALL their lists. or you could block their # and do the spam for emails as the other poster said.
It absolutely is NOT a reasonable request for a minimum line requirement!
We are not machines! 20 years ago when I started out, my first job had a requirement of 800 lines per day (8 hours), that's 100 lines an hour. Five years later it was 1000 lines a day. I think the standard right now is around 1200 lines a day. Now, someone's asking for 1600 as a minimum!?!?!!?
I'm not saying there aren't people out there that can meet and exceed 1600 in a day. I'm simply saying making 1600 a minimum requirement is absurd and unfair.
Most companies of all kinds request credit reports these days, fair or not.

Are they losing accounts. Do most of their accounts stay for long period of time. I have
heard pros and cons about the quality of their work. I guess it is much cheaper than other companies can offer.
Because the girls that monitor the accounts in the office were told the accounts either go on DQS or
move on. All accounts to be with MQ must be on DQS and no more different platforms. ONE ONLY DQS. They can send more work overseas then.
MDI-FL but not all accounts. Only the internet-based ones. C-phone accounts are fine.
So, yes, let me clarify before everyone gets in an uproar.. There is work IF you want to use a C-phone. IF you signed up for an account that is internet-based, you will be disappointed. Not enough work to go around. Just my personal preference.. I have no desire to do a dial-up C-phone account using my long distance.
Some do and have good accounts and fully loaded ESL accounts
Take a look at what is happening in India. For the first time, workers there have money to get themselves into debt by buying high priced items (cars for example). They now protest lower castes being allowed into universities at almost double the previous allowance. Wait until they are highly in debt, begin to feel entitled to a wage equal to that paid inthe US and then, try to form unions, get tossed out into the street and sit back with some Ben and Jerry ice cream and watch the economy collapse and all that dictation come back across the ocean. Timing is everything.
Find out which accounts they are hiring for. They have some ESL accounts that are extremely
difficult to do. I dont know how many accounts they have altogether but as I say, a few are very difficult and I actually dont have a problem with ESLs but these accounts are almost totally ESL. I dont do them anymore.
Well it sounds like no work happens a lot at DSG. How are the accounts as far as decent accounts
and their QA.
per his request I told him Time To Call, he called Not That Time, emailed me
nm
Different accounts have different platforms. Most accounts require sm
high speed but I am not sure if satellite is OK.
I don't think that they're hiring right now. I spoke with my lead on Thursday, who said they are focusing on making sure everyone has enough work and moving PTers to FT, eventually moving towards FT only with only weekends as PT. Not 100% sure when that is though.
Hmm..well it goes to show how different it can be between accounts. My "high" ESL accounts s
at WMX are pretty easy in my opinion as well. I wish I had a better answer for you. Hang in there if you can. You have to do what is right for you.
Six accounts?!?! That is nuts! I am on 3 accounts. nm
nm
MQ accounts
You are assuming that MQ has not lost any accounts. Yes the accounts were transferred with the transcriptionists, buy one of my accounts left and went to another service and yes, once an account goes up on the new platform, it is free game for everyone.
I believe they have two ER accounts - one is .09 and one is .10 -
the owner is wonderful to work for, also.
PS: Hi Connie!
How many accounts do you have?
When you get 6 accounts, can work on any of them at any given time, sometimes all in 1 day, and still get less than 2% DC percentage, come back and tell me you're better than me. You're still wet behind the ears and probably don't even realize what a big can of worms you just opened.
