Documented a bunch of stuff. First job contact was bizarre. Second one was lukewarm with one really offensive aspect. If you email me I can pass some info to you...it's rather cumbersome for the board.

Thank you Lillybelle!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write all that and all I'm gonna say on here is dang. It's a damn shame and truly makes me sad to hear that.
I agree with Lillybelle . . .nm

Lillybelle, my sympathy too. SM
What's that Chinese curse, May you live in interesting times or something like that? These are those, and unfortunately we are on the expense side of the ledger of a noble and economically embattled industry. For your own sake in making your decisions, although it's tough you need to accept, as so many others very foolishly refuse to, that there's no reason why offshore transcriptionists will not be learning to do this work as competently and securely as we. The downside of having English as the world's major language.
By all means you and your colleague should look seriously into going with another company. You are being used to their benefit as your position deteriorates in this transition. Having somewhere else to go will give you the strength to use whatever leverage you might actually still have to demand better benefits. Be aware, though, that the tides of change are going against you, and the wishes of your physicians, and it may well not make any difference at all. But even if you don't improve on their offer, you'll feel better for refusing to allow them to benefit from your victimization.
Last, at this time there is still money to be made in this industry on a production basis by those who work hard and smart. If you're not already doing it, plan on extensive use of a word Expander to maximize your words-per-minute production, plus extensive development of macros and templates for each account.
Best wishes.
I agree with Lillybelle...
This worked for me also. Good Luck.
I gotta agree with Lillybelle
MQ would be an awful place to get started. This is not the kind of business you can be left alone to do unless you already know what you're doing and quite frankly time and experience are your best allies for working at home. I've heard of a few companies who hire ppl with little or no experience but after working at MQ for 2 years I can honestly say MQ isn't one of them. You better know your stuff going in, cuz they won't help you other than offer to send you some sample reports which do almost nothing.
