can someone direct me to the MQ link please.

Been with MQ for 5 years, mostly good until recently when my account went over to Dictaphone and got a new supervisor (after 4 years) with the restructuring April 1.  I took a test using Express Scribe, and the sound quality was horrible - LOTS of white noise.  It makes me wonder about the sound quality of other companies.  If MQ has the best equipment, I may never find another job.  How depressing!

I kinda thought that meant I'd be paid today.  I know payday is not until tomorrow, but they usually are early, and I thought I'd check before I asked Raul about it.

Thanks.

Do you have any update with your application?  I wonder how the company is?

I ACED it. It was a breeze! I have many years of MT experience.

Can you believe the GALL of this co. to send me out a blanket email saying I failed the test and then referred me to Career Step for more training? I used to be an MT instructor!!!!!!

I am SO livid. Why? Not because I failed. Forget them, I'm obviously too good to work for them. BUT the fact that I took 2 hours out of my PRECIOUS time yesterday to take the damn test in the first place.

NOT a good way to start my morning!

They give you a computer, but require a $300 deposit on it, to be taken out of your check in $50 increments until paid.   I left a different national a few months ago; and when I had started there a year ago, got a new computer and no deposit required at all.

Got called over a month and a half after I applied to their ad.

Line rate is required 170 per hour.

I'm supposed to get a testing e-mail soon, and have to respond and do the test within 48 hours.    That 300.00 bothers me.   A few extra hundred added to it, and I could buy my own.  I've heard the horror stories of deposits and equipment issues.

I think I'll pass. 

and the sound quality was  very good.  If that is any indication, maybe something has changed?

Thanks for the reply!

Came from "Mike" at corporate MQ number on caller ID.

Just wanted to verify that I got the letter and that I would be getting the new benefit package in October. I politely asked if he could give me any advance FYI on any of it and he said, nope, they were just calling & verifying we received the letter...and that October was not that far away  my last name starts with G & I'm in the midwest, so maybe their going in alpha or by office, who knows.

I did ask him a question about the new links on the QNet, about what to find on there and he actually had to pull the page up and his computer was running so slow he said, that I just told him never mind.

So...the suspense goes on ladies and gents.

from a recruiter at Focus.  They offered me a job doing acute care supposedly 60% VR and 40% MT.  I can't say that I would even think about it.  What I don't get is this:  She said these reports have to be listened to all the way through.  BUT, you don't get paid for the whole report.  You only get paid for the lines you correct.  The way I see it is you could be listening to a three page report, correct 4 lines and get exactly 16 cents!...4cpl!  Am I interpereting this correctly?  This is absolutely ridiculous.  I don't care what people say, there is no way you could make any money doing VR at that rate.  Is there something I am missing here?

The real frosting on the cake so to speak was the fact they they said their tech people are in India!  I don't think so!  Im not giving India any of my business.  Its bad enough to call the utility companies and get these folks much less having tech support over there.

Somebody shed some light here!   Thanks

I saw a segment on a TV show yesterday where it was reported Hillary Clinton spoke to some Indian business leaders, and she told them she wants more visas issued so more can come over and start businesses [that will take away jobs].  The commentator did say she wanted to charge money for the visas [I don't know if they are currently free or just cheap] and that maybe she was just saying this to the Indian businessmen because she wants political contributions from them, because apparently elsewhere she has been saying she doesn't want jobs taken from Americans.  In a later segment it was reported that China was going to start making cars to be sold in the US by Chrysler [Chrysler will only market them for China, they won't be making them here].  Right now if the US wants to send cars to China for sale the tariff they charge is 25%, but if China wants to send a car here to sell the tariff we charge is only 2.5%.  Also if the US sells cars in China we have to make parts for the cars over there.  No wonder the headline for this whole thing was called war on middle America. This is one of those times when I wish I was close to retiring.

I don't need to be told twice........I don't make the same error twice. 

would get them right on it. So many new people in positions they do not know how to do and the MTs are on the ones suffering. Counting the hours and days until my time is up with them.
