June
Thank you for a very worthwhile post. Just a word of unasked-for advice to all MTs from one who has been kicked around the block a time or two: Keep a file and a log. On my log, I write the time I log on and the time I log off and the number of hours I worked that day. In the file I print out memoranda such as the one cited above. If I ever have to go to the Labor Board, Wage and Hour Commission, or my private attorney, I will have a blazing .357 magnum in terms of the file. It is a shame that we have to take such proactive measures, but as they say in the Marine Corps, CYA. Good luck to you and don't take any guff from these people. They need you as much as you need them. Too many MTs are wishy-washy and think they have to take any kind of nonsense doled out to them. They don't. The labor laws do indeed apply to at-home workers.
I believe it i was effective June 1st.

Huh? It's scheduled for June 2. nm

I leflt in June. sm
One of the accounts just dumped us. It got slow all of a sudden and I was told that it would pick up. Then I found out there was plenty of work. Then all of a sudden on a Saturday we get an e-mail that said immediately we could not do the account anymore. They offered a couple different accounts but they were really bad and I wouldn't take them. Horrible platforms, money etc. My problem with KS and most of these companies is they string you along and lie to you. It wouldn't bother me so much if they would just come clean wtih you when you ask a question.
Thank you June and link inside...

Interesting Discussion on June 21 -- Did you see that?
Did you go to about the middle of page 4 -- thread started June 21, 2006. Begins with:
Anyone turned down offers at Amphion, Axolotl or Webmedx - would like honest opinions
She's in Connecticut and she had an ad on MTJobs at the end of June. nm

Here's the link for their ad from June 16, 2009 (sm)
Hope this helps
When doing a search on google, it said there were omitted links due to duplicates, but I clicked to show them anyway and that's when I found the link for their ad on MTStars.
They had an ad here in early June 2006. Did anyone start with them? nm

It is finally in place June 1st. It is reasonable and sm
really good. My sister has had it for yours and says Guardian is better than BCBS.
Good luck June I hope to be out
of there soon also. There's no way you can make a living there with this company. Good luck.
Any info on the go live starting June 1 at WMX?

Quit MQ in June - still in shock with new job. Plenty of work, OT available. (sm)
I just can't tell you how fortunate I feel. The bonus program is good and understandable, you don't have to be a math genius to figure it out. I have 2 accounts, great supervisor, pleasant office staff. For those of you still unhappy with your current jobs, keep the faith, there are good companies out there. Good luck on your search.
Did you notice on our community page new hires May/June - I think there were 19 or 20 of them. (sm)
Nothing against the new hires, but from our point of view it stinks to hire new people while many of us are/were scrapping for work.
I did notice they haven't posted any new hires like they did for May and June. nm

I left after nine years in June before the pay cut and I am very happy in my new position and making

Post from June 2006 said the ESL load was very heavy and you needed a Cphone & 2nd line. Used to

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.
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

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.
Are the Rad accounts going VR?

VR accounts
Does anyone find that you can get more lines or make more money on VR accounts?
RE: VR accounts
Yes.
How did you get three accounts?
????????????????????????? No wonder you have plenty of work - you have three accounts. Duh!!
Their accounts are about 90% ESL sm
And I am talking heavy ESL. Also, even though most of their MTs are ICs, they make you give them a schedule and they bug you if you don't work it. Pay is okay. Work is very sporadic. I have two friends who left there because the work kept running out. QA can be very rude, as well.
You might be better off just getting your own accounts rather than
trying to look for a service that has them. If you feel you must go through a service, then more than likely a small or very small MTSO would be the most likely to have these types of accounts.
Your own accounts (SM)
I read over the other posts today and agree that many of them were brutal, unpleasant, condescending, and unkind. Do not let these types of responses deter you from your goals, plans and visions.
I had my own accounts before I even took
a medical transcription course. I got into MT by accident. I started a home-based secretarial business doing typing and bookkeeping for people. One day, I got a call from this guy wanting to know if I could do his transcription. Sure, why not?! I had repaired transcription machines in a former career field, so what could be so tough about transcribing? I did fine. I've had his account for 8 years now. I also picked up a physical therapy account with four dictators before I finished my MT education, but that account was el cheapo on pay so I dumped them as my skills grew more in demand.
In my opinion, it's easier to have your own accounts because you're doing the same people and the same reports day after day. You can use your Expander to the max. They'll notify you of any corrections or style issues they'd like you to implement. You make more money per line while saving them money versus in-house staff or a national. Make up some business cards and an intro letter on your computer and start sending them out. Forget about all the negative people who are telling you that you can't do it. They're not the boss of you. You are in control of your own destiny. YOU can do it!
You are a pet, get best accounts.

There is no QA on your own accounts. YOU are QA.
QA shouldn't have to catch your versus you're anyway. QA shouldn't have to correct basic skills.
Where was that hop to? Your own accounts?
?
Accounts
Wrong.
Accounts
Sure!
Ask for more accounts, 10-12 may do

MDI still does on some accounts....

What about their accounts...
Have they lost their accounts, too? If not, who is typing them?
I am on 4 different accounts
and I am always out of work!When I call, I get the run around. The center is in India.
They have just taken on several new accounts. nm
Is this your own accounts?

Not all VR accounts are
Even though accounts are going to VR, there is still considerable typing to be done on the VR accounts. All my accounts have been switched over the VR but not all doctors. I type more than half of my reports daily, sometimes is a 50/50 split. I still get paid a line rate for jobs typed.
for some accounts anyway
