mystery job
Thinking we are pretty screwed myself. Heard one MT say a director called and said acct is gone and offered her acute care cause she had experience, seems most of us have no calls, so thinking not good. 25 MTs to displace probably aint happening. Yea hope she had a lovely vacation.... unlike us sitting on pins and needles. check what check sigh
ewwwwaaahh.....a mystery!!
I am one of those who applied.
I think they are a mystery company
My friend and I applied 3 or 4 times, with no response from them..between the two of us we have 60+ years experience in cardiology... do you think we might have interested them at some point.
Maybe you can figure out the mystery
Since you're so good at finding answers - help us with this one! My check has been cut in half for this Monday. Next check looks to be even worse - I've lost 4 hours each workday this week. We've got rumors we're all getting fired, and our supervisor is on vacation until next week. Why don't we have work? Do you think its the holiday? Nobody will tell us what's going on! Help us solve the mystery of the disappearing job!
I think you solved the mystery
This appears to be exactly what is happening here. Shame on employers for keeping MTs in the dark and lying about it! From now on, when I hear the word Powerscribe at any employer, I'll dust off my resume and start looking.
Wonder why mystery job winners are not announced
by MQ sup. Have not heard a word about the winners of these. This is another "Edix" stunt. They have not played these games with the MT's in the very recent past, but that was an ongoing game with them. A friend of mine won in June, and just got notification this week (about 4 months later) of 3 or 4 places she could spend the money using some card that she has to get off the internet-- lives in a small town -- those stores are not even in her town ! Big whoopee for Edix/Spheris !!!

Than mystery jobs randomly picked by mgmt.
bonuses/weekend/night shift differential is much rather preferred by me in the Dallas office than those jobs picked at random by "who knows who".
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?
X
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
/
Ask for what accounts, they hardly have any
and the ones they have are taken up.
I think they do have some accounts on that but
I don't work w/ any of it. They have plenty that aren't.
DR because of too many accounts SM
to make a decent line count, horrible ESL dictators, incorrect pay, weird tech support staff and the rudest office personnel I have ever encountered.
New accounts
I've worked for MQ, OSI, DRC, Spheris and a couple smaller ICs, wouldn't recommend any of them. Transtech on the other hand is very different from the others. Plenty of work, back up accounts, not that many ESLs and the ones they have basically are not too bad. Really nice staff and support, pay always on time and every 2 weeks, not every 15 days. Line counts are accurate. Longevity bonus each year.
There are new accounts coming on very soon and they need to hire quite a few MTs. What I was told when I was looking to work for them was that I wouldn't regret it, and I haven't. I don't think it gets better than this in the industry. Oh, also they don't offshore, gotta love that!
No. They have their own accounts.

because they have a lot of new accounts...nm
nm
Who is it? Which accounts?
initials?
consider getting your own accounts
at least you type the same familiar voices.
NO, no, and no. Not on the ER accounts. nm
no mesg
I think new accounts
I think the hiring blitz is for new accounts. They are always adding new accounts or other accounts getting bigger. Good luck!
