It was the insinuations in your post that wrought the answers you received
First of all,several MDI-MDers did indeed post they had decided to stay and give it a try. Their posts were met with support.
Those posts did not contain comments about feeling guilty for talking negatively about MDI and did not insinuate other MDI-MDers were disingenuous about their choosing to leave the company.
YOU set the tone for the replies you got. Read the threads the past couple of weeks and you'll see that other MDI employees who chose to stay for their own reasons were met with support.
You, however, chose to set a whole different tone with your post, which is why you failed to get the 'poor baby, it's okay' responses you were apparently seeking.
Just calling it the way I see it and only my opinion...
I received a call from someone
today who I thought was Landmark as I had sent them a resume some time back, and she said Landmark at the beginning of the conversation. Later on in the conversation I found out Landmark had given them my resume. It was for a place called Cornerstone in Wyoming. There are openings for ER accounts, Chartscript experience required. You might give them a try. Maybe that will help get you into Landmark though my wanting to work there has changed since I found out they are in the practice of giving (or selling) resumes.
The pay was pitiful (or so I thought) for an IC position (8 cents). They said they were flexible on the hours, but you had committed hours.
I can see how people take low paying jobs though if they need the experience, but it does effect the rest of us. These companies will keep going as low as they can. They have no bottom so pretty soon it will look like we are doing community service.
I received mine about an hour ago. They told me they are less than
1/5 of the way through the resumes and responses and it will take a few days to get through them. Call their office if you want to move to the front of the list.
Received telephone call from Jim?
I also received a phone call from Jim the hiring person. I never responded back. I better think second thoughts on this job. Sounds like you were totally ripped off.
I have received no email about such conference call.
Where did you get that from, and who sent it out. Give initials, pls. I got missed somehow.
Has anyone received their W2 from DeVenture? No longer work there and don't want to call them..nm

I got a call the day I sent my resume and answers in. Maybe you the OP is not all that she thinks s
the positions that had open were not a good match for what she has done. I read her post a few times. It says that her skills do match the opening that she applied for, not that she was a bad Transcriptionist or anything like that. Their question sheet is pretty specific. If she was looking for hours that they did not have available or a type of account that they did not have openings for, that would explain it. At least she heard at all. I applied to at least a dozen companies, many mentioned here often as good or great companies, that never even acknowledged my application or resume. Each experience is obviously different.
Another conf call today, maybe some answers NM

Phone call (sm)
I have a feeling I might miss this famous phone call because I never answer any call I don't recognize on my caller ID, especially 800 numbers (I hate people trying to sell me stuff -- including MQ LOL).
I wonder if it will say MedQuist. Oh well, I'll just keep reading the boards and probably just as good as the phone call!
Sorry to hear about your hospital stay. Hope you feel better and more together soon. Wish I had an excuse to not have my mind together...
ANY MQ SE GET THE PHONE CALL YET?
What is this all about?
What phone call
are you talking about?
phone call
Can someone relay exactly what was said on the phone call. Was it just talking about the W account or talking about the company being sold or what. I work on a different account and I have not recieved a phone call, please clarify. Thanks.
I got a phone call from L - sm
and then a call later from the office when they needed me to stop work and send in my time and lines.
It was pretty fast.
Call them - someone can help you over the phone
Great company. If you've fallen through the loop it's probably because they have a lot of other applicants too. Give them a call. They're great people.
Did anyone receive a phone call yet
or is this all speculation???
No phone call, but a thought came to me. (sm
I wonder if they are sending out individual packets which might show the level of the employee and the rate of pay they will pay for their status and account. Since this would be on an individual basis that might account for some of the "wait and see" we are getting. Wow.... October is a long way off.
Hopefully whoever gets a call first will post and let us know whatever they find out.
MQ Phone call/Packet
Got the call and yes the packet is suppose to be in the mail in OCT--never gave it a thought that each packet might be different--as stated before none of my questions were answered. Read that the Houston office is closing, are they merging with Dallas??? Is there anyone out there still working for the Foxboro office and will they be one of the offices that will be closing in the future???
Warning about the phone call from MQ...sm
After reading the boards about the new MQ plan I went to Qnet to see what I could find. I haven't received the packet yet nor had I received a phone call (or so I thought). I found a section that stated I received a phone call on Sept 15th and that I had received paperwork. I wondered what the heck was going on. Checked my caller ID and sure enough on Sept 15th there was an 800 number (after typing it in Google I found out it was Medquist). After talking with my husband at dinner about the new plan and the phone call he finally (after 2 weeks) tells me that they called and HE told them that I got a paper in the mail. They never called ME back or asked that I call them with questions. So you might want to ask your husband or kids if they talked to someone. 
Start with a phone call! sm
Call the offices or clinics, ask for the office manager, and ask about their transcription status. Go from there. You just may end up "in the right place at the right time".
It takes lots of energy and motivation, but it is well worth it.
Also, you must keep your promises to them to succeed. If you say you will have the work back in 24 hours, you must have the work back in 24 hours, etc. It is very important to be honest with your clients. They are frustrated just as much as we MTs are with the lack of honesty and integrity throughout this industry.
Good luck to you.
Nice getting a phone call, that
is nice to be appreciated. What are their good points. I am always looking.
Pick up the phone and call
x
call the phone company
and tell them they are, in fact, harassing you and ask them how to block their calls. That would seem to be a better way to handle it.
Didn't you get the phone call?
Even though our cost of living is probably about 5 times that of Bangalore, some genius has decided that compensation should be 'equalized'. That's about as much explanation as you're going to get. At least in my phone call, they tried to say that they conducted a survey of MTSOs and determined that we were way overpaid, so in doing the global calibration, they have determined that we won't be hurt too badly. While no specific mention was made of VR, I'm wondering if that's going to be plummeting down to the 2 cents that we thought must be a joke in a prior posting.

No packet or phone call..maybe I'm TOAST!
NM
I'm curious if any of you pick up the phone and actually call your STM sm
to discuss your worries, or do you just post anonymously on the boards and hope a miraculous change will happen by osmosis? Personally I'd call my manager and specifically request to be backed up to an account that has a lot more work on a regular basis, and maybe phase out some of the smaller other 4 accounts.
But that's just me and maybe that's why I am happy and secure here....
Good luck to you.
Breitner transcription phone call?
What phone call/meeting was this? I was never informed of any.
I talked to the insurance person yesterday (we all have her phone #). She told me sm
that the holdup was the insurance company and the fact that all KS employees did not get their paperwork in despite phone calls and emails. They needed both the applications for those who want it and the waivers from those who don't, apparently a federal requirement to prove that they offered it to everyone eligible.
The date of effect might still be 6/1 and everything will be retroactive with cards in the mail this week. They will know today.
I am excited about. I too have been without insurance for too many years!
Provide it to the moderators along with TB's phone number to call. :)

wish I knew...missed phone call as it was a last minute...sm
thing and not during my shift, as I work evenings. Something about changes in the organization and jobs have been phased out or merged and mine was phased out. I know that without shift leads there are going to be a lot MTs out there on their own, but what can I say. Just the way of the MT world I guess, constantly changing. lol
Get proactive!!! Pick up the phone and call the office?? NM
xxx
They told me they would call me and never did.
I'm not sure what is up with that. I am a VERY experienced acute care MT, many years in a hospital, many years with my own acute care accounts. I was told to call Heather and I did. She was on another line and said she'd call me right back and I never got a call. Not sure what is up with that because companies usually fall all over themselves trying to hire me (not bragging - I just have a lot of experience and I do very well on transcription tests and I companies are happy to have me work for them). But anyway, I never got a call back and had other companies begging me to work for them, so I didn't pursue it although I had been very interested in hearing what DSG had to offer. But I have read that the same happened to others; they never got a call back from DSG.
Make a phone call. Too important to leave to email. nm
s
Is it possible to do call forwarding to one of those expensive phone sex lines? teehee.

Good point. Who do I get on the phone if I have to call customer service
for my credit cards, or software questions, or whatever? I get someone who I can barely communicate with in the freakin Philippines, or wherever. It is so WRONG.
I did phone training years ago on the platforrm and was paid 50.00 per call (sm)
The call usually lasted an hour, and was one-on-one.
I didn't even receive the courtesy of an e-mail, phone call, etc. sm
I thought the test was very easy. I've got 18-years of experience, sent a cover letter (that I spent an hour on) in addition to my resume and got not response whatsoever. The least an MTSO could do is say, Thanks, but no thanks. Daily applications, cover letters, and testing without so much as an email is beyond frustrating!
They told me they'd call by the end of the week.
so i'm just waiting, lol
I was told I'd get a call back too
with TAT, hours, etc.; after hearing such wonderful things about the company, lack of follow through on their part did make me blue.
I was on the conference call and was told
that MDI would be a subsidiary of Transcend but would be called MDI/Transcend. Sounded like a crock to me.
Thank u, but I am confused. On our conference call, we were told
that we would maintain our flexiblity and be able to meet our commitments in a 24-hour window. Are you saying there are set shifts? That is huge for me, as I cannot work a set shift around my kids' ever-changing schedules. Right now we are required to work 2 weekends days per month and we commit to X number of lines per day on the days we schedule ourselves to work. We were told this flexibility would NOT change. We also do not request holidays off, but schedule ourselves to work one holiday per year. We write our own schedules and submit them every 2 months. The flexibility is the biggest reason I have worked for MDI for years and the only place I wanted to work again after taking a year off to be with a newborn.
I like my current accounts, but am willing to also learn a new platform/account to make sure I have enough work. But the flexible scheduling is imperative.
We all had to call in to the new insurance company last week. I was told that it will be sm
around $250 per single and that KS will be picking up a large portion.
Can anyone from the Ohio MQ office give me a contact person and a phone number to call so I can talk
to someone there without getting a lot of other people involved before I find out what kind of accounts they have to offer. I am interested in transferring from my current office but would like to speak with someone up there first. Even an email address of someone would help.
I just got sent the same questionnaire
Very strange........
I did the same questionnaire and never heard back either. nm
nm
I know that when I answered the questionnaire that came out some time before the packet...
Apparently they didn't really consider that as one of our biggest priorities, though?
I haven't got my packet yet, but I've found out enough here already about how this new plan is going to impact my needs. So anybody know companies that still really believe in SE status/FLEXIBILITY?
How long after initial questionnaire before they get back to you?
I filled out their questionnaire a few days ago, but still have not heard back from them. Not sure if that means they are not interested, or if they just take a while to hear back from. Any info on this company also would be appreciated.
yes, spelled questionnaire wrong but I am not applying for a job on here and cannot sm
use spellcheck !
per his request I told him Time To Call, he called Not That Time, emailed me

Worked on C-phone for 10 years with 1 phone line
