haha (but not really funny, it is sad). You can do so much better...(no message)
xx
haha, exactly the same for me...no work, no one cared..(no message)
xx
I'm just curious how long that lasts for you? Usually if I get a "no studies" message, sm
I have work again within the hour. I don't get how so many of y'all are out of work all the time.
Haha Hey, I know! ....
I'm not the pro-Spheris or pro-MQ cheerleader everyone thinks I am.
There are some items that could definitely use some tweaking or revamping!
Oh ok...haha....sm
I was about to say Hey, where is my downtime pay? But that sounds like you have a great set-up with your job....at least you know you will get some sort of pay. Too bad everyone doesn't get that!
HaHa
Haha!!

haha
Sorry, but I thought I was the only one living in BFE...LOL.
Haha
Medquist is now owned by Indians. I think people just left before they were let go down the road.
haha
...
How can a message be confidential if it posted on a public message board? nm
Sure, come here and keep it quiet. haha sm
haha, I think she just did, on this board!

funny haha??
Actually the funny thing was that there was always just one I like them post - not that you would not use your name. I am glad you had no bad experiences, like I said that is one. No personal problem here - I put my running shows on some time ago. Sorry you took things so personally - was not my intention.
haha - if it says "USA", then it's probably
x
LOL HAHA LMAO, etc.
Funny how all the people who claim to think VR is the greatest, simplest thing since the microwave also come back later to state that they have alternate sources of income. Based on their postings, I suspect some of their other income comes from writing fiction.
HaHa...you are contradicting yourself
You just said that you were supposed to start working around noon the other day. Why would you have to send an email saying that you would be starting late if you don't have a schedule? You are contradicting yourself.
I am done with the back and forth with you. If you like working for them, good for you. ICs are not supposed to be locked into a schedule like an employee. If you were truly an IC, there would be no need to email anyone to tell them that you were going to be starting 'late'.
The only reason an IC should have to email them is if they were not able to work at all on a particular day.
They are breaking the law and they will be dealt with. Me and one other person in this thread have worked there and been treated like an employee when we were ICs. I am sure there are others.
HAHA DUH...Guess what?
Those MTSO recruiters take valuable time to sift through hundreds of applications to try to pick out the most qualified, best 'fit' for an account. At what point do you feel that perhaps someone of perhaps a little less experience but a lot more flexibility didn't have her application tossed off the pile to make room for YOUR just-for-curiosity application?
You waste people's time, resources and money when you apply willy-nilly just to see 'what's out there' when the job market is so desperate right now.
So, I'm afraid that VERY mature DUH, HAHAHAHA is back on YOU, my fellow MT.
I'm not the one wasting everyone's time applying for jobs I really don't want when I'm happy where I'm at.
Haha! I can too! ANY defense at all of such
And might I just add, what slimy little WORMS all suits really are! They sell their integrity and their souls for their do-nothing jobs in an already top-heavy industry. Considering the mood of their workforce these days, I'd actually be SCARED to be one of them right now.
Yes, MQ has known all these years. My typo!! Haha
...
20% increase in production - haha!
haven't they been repeating over and over to you that you WILL see a 20% increase in production RIGHT AWAY!! after you conquer DQS then they're going to throw ASR at you and swear up and down that you'll have a 25% in production and they're going to cut your baseline rate by 20% to become a Medical Editor -- doesn't that sound just peachy!! i recalculated my last check with my MT work and my ME work and it came out to be $50 less because of the 20% decrease on my baseline rate for the honor of doing ME work (i have until 10/1/05 before the cut takes place). Oh, but you have your choice of doing 100% MT work and keeping your baseline rate, but guess what you'll be getting the docs that the voice recognition system can't do, therefore, you will probably see a 25% decrease in production. Heck, now as it is, the VR program can't pick up the little words like an, and, in, etc right and it's even leaving out very, very clear words that a very, very clear dictator is saying, so you figure how you're going to have a 25% increase on production when you're pecking nonstop on the keyboard like when you first started typing on a manual typewriter?? Tell me again, how grateful we're supposed to be for working at MQ? And, yes, I know I can go to MTJobs.com and find another job, but you know what, there's principles and if we just walk away from how we're being treated we're just going to be treated like that at another MQ-like company. Something needs to be done so they know that we don't appreciate being treated like someone with a 5th grade education.
Haha ... you're funny ... lol. nm
haha - actually I kinda' like it better as a DO-DO list! nm
.
Haha! all too funny! sounds
like they require no experience on the executive level as well!
question - they don't pay for headers but who's to say they really don't charge for them?
no idiot, been there and they suck haha
Let me know when you wanna play with the big people. On one job, I make $23/h plus incentive. Full benes. 20 weeks PTO/yr. Second job REAL IC pays 11 cpl including headers/spaces. Now, who is jealous? Not that you would admit it. LOL. Now, go make your hard earned sucky money LOL
Haha! LMAO! Right! What is PHASING?????nm
nm
Yes, here you go, toodle-loo and fly a kite! Haha, nm
nm
Haha!! Brilliant move!!
I did the same thing once when I worked in-house. The cherry-picker ended up being written-up. That's the way it should be. The good employees should have a fair shake of things. Too bad people like sm will defend them. Yes, revenge is sweet LOL. Justice!
Yes we are on the same page, you used better words tho. haha
haha! Good one... no you got it wrong sm
I typed 200 lines an hour easily.........not slow. You sound like a salaried TTS'er or the owner. That's why there are always mixed reviews. The relatives and people with skin in the game post positive information.
haha, good luck, you'll need it!
zz
haha, you are the one who sounds angry and bitter...
Don't worry about me or what you think I should do or need to do. I still have every right to express my opinion on this board, and you again are being rude and typical of 'your' profession.
Again, I believe medical care should not be a business. That sounds ludicrous to me. People without insurance cannot have access to health care...and people like you do not care.
We get it already, now perhaps you can go bother someone else. You are really starting to get repetitive and rude.
Teehee!!!! HAHA LOL! I feel like I am treated that way sometimes. sm
As for how I know my accuracy...
I have QA bonuses. You have to pull up 99% or better on audit to get it AND send under a certain percentage to QA in full.
NO I am NOT the only OP specialist we have. If you don't see OPs it is probably because they go to us first and if we finish, you don't have any of them in the general pools.
Haha -- took me awhile, but I finally got it .. funny. nm
Haha yen, love your post and agree completely with what you say!
The above poster wasn't me. I'm the LOL from above. Two separate posters - haha
nm
Yeah.. I second the motion. I lasted a day before I had a breakdown haha..
It was awful. Way too many screens to open up just to get going or do perform any task. That right there will always be their downfall. I'm sure if they had a better platform they would get a lot of better responses to job openings. JMO
notice the words "in my opinion" haha...WMX was awful for me
you are not going to bully me, I got enough of that at WMX
sm small message or see message...geesh..nm
x
please don't put nm or call yourself nm if you have a message - nm means no message -sm
nm means no message. sm means see message. if you call yourself nm, then people might not click to read the rest of your post.
just trying to help.
ps. if the money is there, why does that particular person's balance say zero?
ps: Please excuse typos! "Hands-working-faster-than-brain syndrome!" haha (nm)
.
I can't give you the name of the message board, but it is not a free message board (HINT). There
Monitor, I hope this post is okay.
But that could be Leave a Message or Little Message! LOL
nm
Congrats! :) SM = see message. NM (no message)
Just be rude..out and out rude so they have just cause to "fire" you.. haha..What a bunch of i
Who would want to work for incompetent people like that. Time to change your phone numbers. They are like bad stalkers.
Curious too!! I am on LOA with them, but would like to know!!
x
Curious?
Which "owner" are we talking about? I've worked there 2 years and never encountered a "moody" person. Matter-of-fact, I don't even know who the owner IS come to think of it?????
I'm curious
So many trashing MQ before they've read the new information. If you're that unhappy why do you stay? Why not leave before the packet arrives? Why not quit kvetching and moaning and go find someone whose practices and pay rates you find satisfactory.
How many of you are MTs with less than "perfect" skills and yet MQ keeps you on? How many of you work the required hours? How many of you do what is expected of YOU as an MT? My guess, having spent many years as an MTSO, is that many of those complaining are the ones not meeting the requirements of being a PROFESSIONAL MT.
Give MQ the benefit of the doubt. I've known this company since its inception in the 1970s and believe me, the packet is a good thing for MTs, for the MT industry, and for PROFESSIONAL transcriptionists who want to continue doing professional work.
I'm also curious if they
hire IC or FTE? Looks like an interesting company. I'd like to know something about them too!
Curious
Why, those 2 last names are partners in OSi
Now I'm curious
I agree DH is a good person, she's the only one I've ever spoken to in the office besides the techs. Curious to know who the swivel head might be. LOL Didn't know they ran out of work, wouldn't bother me once in awhile but if it became consistent....well....
