Now, everyone in eight offices is sharing work? What do we do when they were already shorting us?

Closed FW office, Indianapolis office too. nm
xx
FYI - she had it closed before
I'm sure others got the same message when they tried to post. This was sooo fun; let's do it again sometime! ya know, when you're more on your game!
I'm sure everyone was so entertained by all of this. I quite frankly have agreed and posted to you on other threads and I don't really think you're a moron. I do, however, think that you went a little overboard with the copy and paste.
I think we all have our moments when we think we know something only to find out we really didn't...
It's been a learning experience for me, and I hope for you, too! Have a terrific night!
This thread is closed. sm
First, this topic has dwindled into tit-for-tat insult trading both in this thread and the one below. Both threads are locked.
Second, if you want to talk about cherry-picking, it belongs on the Main board as it is a transcription issue in all companies. A word of caution, though: Make sure you discuss the issue and stop the personal boxing matches and name-calling. If you have problems with a thread, do not try to police it - report it properly, please.
Thanks,

MQ Asheville NC closed several sm
years ago because of off shoring. Seems an employee suspected off shoring because the dictated and transcribed times that were coming back did not jive. Did some checking and confirmed her suspicions. The real kicker here is that this particular MQ office was doing ONLY VA ACCOUNTS! Hows that for giving out identities. Nothing like all the information on our soldiers, names, SS#s, etc. etc. She reported this. It was on all the news stations, big news. Long and short of it, they closed the Asheville office. People offered jobs in offices in other states or at home EXCEPT the person who ratted on MQ. I am sure her career is ruined but we need MTs who are not afraid to stand up. This profession is getting way out of control!!!!!!!
did - several times - and even closed and reopened.
 bizarre.
I work for them. Not sold or closed.
Heartland already closed two offices
in India...they are surely closing down entire transcription business by coming December
Sources saying they were never making any money in transcription business. How will someone make money by sending work overseas and that too not keeping a track of what each individual Transcriptionist or Editor or QA is producing?
I thought the other Heartland had closed
shop because of their financial situation and bad business practices.
Good luck to you in your business.
I used to work for Lanier transcription before it closed.
I worked directly there at the site in Florida. The Lanier machine (like dictaphone) is great. If you use the Software developed by Lanier for text it is also great. I would not worry about the difference. I actually preferred that system to the C-phone. Of course now we have Dictaphone Extext with the demographics filling in and the 2 working together. But the Lanier system used to be wonderful. I worked on it for many years. High recommendations to that product.
Did anyone else when they closed have problems with their insurance not being paid
even though the premiums were deducted from your check. I found out my policy had not been paid since October 1st and had to catch it up on my own. Letter and email have gone without response (no surprise there) and phone has been disconnected. Anyone know what agency would cover this. Would have to think it is illegal to withdraw premiums and then not pay them. Seems to me I should be reimbursed for those 3 months.
Because you are tunnel-visioned and closed minded
I've stated in NUMEROUS posts that you refuse to absorb that:
1. I took no cut in pay.
2. There is no compromise to patient care.
These are EXCUSES you've developed in your stubborn mind set to fall back on as justification to refuse to do VR, rather than admit you're scared you won't be able to cut it. It's as simple as that.
You're a completely negative force and I refuse to engage further with you.
Go ahead, trot down and apply for disability. Just more work for the rest of us who have open minds and are able to adapt to change and keep up with the times.
Adios.
The main office was in Bolingbrook but they built an office in Yorkville last fall. SM
I think that the owners live in Yorkville, so it was built close to their house. Nice office, just pretty far out.
Heartland Information Services - 3 Branches Closed
YES MY DEAR. ITS TRUE. ALL THE EMPLOYEES THAT WERE WORKING AT MUMBAI, HYDERABAD AND COIMBATORE WERE FIRED AND 3 BRANCH OFFICES CLOSED BY HEARTLAND INFORMATION SERVICES MANAGERS. ALL WERE COMPELLED TO SIGN THE RESIGNATION LETTERS. THE COMPANY WAS NEVER PROFITABLE IN THEIR HISTORY AND WILL NEVER BE PROFITABLE UNTIL THEY REMOVE FEW MORE BIGHEADS
You silly, closed-minded, judgmental woman...
I am part of the MDI/Transcend merger, so if I choose to laugh at the irony of the entire MESS we are ALL involved with, I will.
Who made YOU the LOL police, or did you self-appoint yourself to that all-important position?
Get a grip. You're not the only one stuck in this crisis so climb off of that cross you're dangling from and save a tree, mmmkay???
I'm sure I'll love having YOU as a new co-worker *eye roll*
Kinda closed-minded, but you're entitled to your opinion.
I'd much rather work in Saudi Arabia than downtown Detroit. Talk about double-ugh!
Just curious, is the MQ Nashville office the old Lanier office? nm
nm
I don't work in the office and never claimed to. I am just saying that since the new office open
October with everyone of the admin staff in one place, these problems do not occur any more.
uh, and you did a little throat jumping yourself there - mail-order bride? broom closed?
.
Can't get paid in the office if you don't work in the office.
JLG has MT's working at home, not in the office, not to mention working out of state. The mail is the only way to get paid since they have temporarily suspended direct deposit. The only ones getting paid on time are the ones that do work in the office, like the management and people answering the phone.
Nothing is closed. Anyone free to post or not post.

Which office?
/
been through three office changes in the last 10
Went from 7 cents a line to now 9.5 cpl, on this current account going on three years, the one before that, five years, and the one before that two. My opinion, i'm a good MT and they treat me as such. Do you work your schedule? Do you do PLUS lines while maintaining quality? Are you up their butt constantly asking for raises? Take tons of time off? They are weeding out the awful MTs by starving them of work!!!
Which office is this.
:
Are you an MT in the office currently
I do not know which office you are from; if you are hearing rumblings,it is probably true. Many offices are closing and I do not know why. I was told my office was closing because there was no need for it?? It closed this September. Is your office being transferred to another region?
I am sure you will keep your position but at what cost I do not know. I am still waiting for the PACKET to come and I am nervous about that myself.
You are not alone. We are all feeling this re-structuring and in my opinion things do not look good.
Try not to let it get to you too much. MQ is not worth it.
I have been upset for 3 months now and will be making a big decision on what to do in the next few weeks.
Hope things work out for you.
what office are you with? nm
;
I sent one to the office, too. nm

TT office help
I have had plenty of work too. I guess it depends what accounts you are on. As far as office help, I always get a prompt response to any question or need I have. Why would it matter how much office work they have?
TT office help
I mean why would it matter how much office help they have, duh!
They also have an office in ....sm
southwestern Indiana, but when you call that office you speak to an Indian male. Go figure.
THAT MQ office does sound bad!
Keep in mind, they are not all the same. In 7 years of working for them, I've never had an experience remotely like that. My immediate supervisor will respond to my emails within the hour and my regional manager will respond at least the same day, usually within a couple of hours. I have never not received a pay check on time. I don't doubt she is telling the truth, but she got a bad apple. Doesn't mean they're all that way!
MQ Dallas Office
Actually, the work is not difficult. I'm one of the highest leveled MT's at Spheris (back again) and when I was with MQ I started off on one of the most difficult accounts in the SW region. I found it actually to be very easy. But, to each their own. Its just my opinion. Being an IC person, you may not have as much to say about all the communication (or should I say lack there of) from that office. You hardly ever get updates (especially if you are use to seeing them) and in order to find out if there is OT available, it's like pulling teeth to find out. Payroll in that office is horrendous. You email for a question regarding Payroll and it will take them a good 2 weeks to answer. You call and you almost always get the voicemail, which also takes them 2 weeks to get back to you. You leave a message with someone and they always says they'll get right back to you, but low and behold they never do!! The supers aren't that bad, but the higher ups are the problem down there! I heard a few of the other region were wonderful to work for, just wish I had been given one of those regions to work in and I might have been a pretty happy camper!! Good luck and hope all goes well for you.
Me too .. it is with the SW/Dallas office ?? NM

Warminster PA MQ office sm
Can anyone tell me anything about this office? I am still debating on whether to turn in paperwork or not.
Cannot recommend this office at all!
I have been there for a long time, and it just gets worse. They have lost so many accounts that I seem to constantly be learning something new, and I do acute care, any specialty. No money to be made this way. In addition, the office personnel have changed so much that I don't even know who to call with certain matters. It is beyond frustrating!
The only high point has been the excellent computer room staff, but I figure they will probably all be let go in favor of calling 1-800-DICTATE or whatever.
If you have other options, I suggest exercising them! I can E-mail you if you need more info.
MQ Monrovia office sm
With all the MQ horror stories I see on this board, the Monrovia office MTs always seem happy. I don't understand. It's the same company, so why such a difference? Don't all offices all have to adhere to the same company guidelines? It almost sounds like each MQ office is a completely different company. If I apply for a position at MQ, what factors determine which office I'll be assigned to? Or is it just pot luck? I don't get it.
Ohio MQ office
 Welcome aboard. I've been with them for 10 yrs, now on DocQscribe, love it, never ever out of work...we need the help desperately
What can you tell me about the Warminster MQ office?
The good, the bad, and the ugly are all appreciated. Thank you very much.
C.C.
Which office do you work out of.

What office were you hired at?
Just curious... is this the new pay plan?
Office Politics
Thank you all for your comments, but I would like to say....I really want to preserve my dignity and integrity. There are some very special people at OSi, some of whom are very good friends. I am truly blessed for making those friends. I did my best at my job at QA and for whatever reasons I was fired from OSi does not change that. I loved my job and the MTs and the accounts that I worked on. I only wish the best for my friends that are still there. Losing this job is nothing compared to losing my spouse, so this too will pass. I am tough and I will be fine and I thank you all for your support.
which MQ office running out? sm
Monrovia, Ca. How were you
informed of work shortage?
Sorry this is the Amherst office of MQ.

St. Louis office
I work for the St. Louis office. They are very flexible but I hate the DQS platform. The old one was much better. I stay with a national because you can work anywhere in the country without being tied down, but when I say I am a slave, that's what I feel like. All I ever do is work to try to get my lines-- I don't have a life any more. I don't spend money foolishly--I am just trying to survive. This MT business has really gone down the toilet ever since the "being paid by production only" and the sweatshop mentality began.
Where at - in the corporate office?
or maybe you are management and get paid by the hour. I am guessing probably the hourly paid since you do seem to have a lot of time on your hands chatting all day.
I have 16 years experience and I did not maintain a job for this long with no skill.
Perhaps you should work on some SOCIAL SKILLS - you think? I have always heard if you're good at something you don't have toot your own horn, but you go right ahead and sing your own praises.
phoenix office
nm
no, Dallas office..I believe.
I'm with the Nashville office...
I haven't really heard anything good or bad about them. I've searched but came up with nothing. I'm hoping that's a good sign since the bad ones seem to come up a lot. Which office are you with?
great office
I was tranferred to the SantaAna office permanently over 8 months ago,(my office closed and I did not want to go to Foxboro for fear of lack of work) before that I had been helping the SantaAna office for over 2 years in 2 of their accts. I was doing this because my office in the NE had no work. I always have work and am very happy with the office, especially after talking to some of the MT's that were transferred to Foxboro and Amherst. I really lucked out by going to a CA office
You must know the office number
Hello there,
I will be at the office all day tomorrow, Thursday and Friday. Would love to talk to you again.
1-800-205-7047
Thanks,
Liz
Foxboro office
Your posting caught my attention. I have emailed and phone the Foxboro office several times over the last month and have gotten no respondence from either the emails or the phone calls. I am always told that they are on another call and leave a message, which I do, but yet the call is never returned.
I was called about 2 months ago and asked about going up on DQS but have never heard another word about it. Does it usually take these long? All the accts that I was transferred with have run out of work and it seems like everyone else is in the same situation. If the office does close and we are on DQS, are we all transferred to Amherst and what happens to us if our acct stays on MTS, where do we go??
I have not been called about the pay packet and this is really getting scary as I really need this job and never had to worry about these things until I was tranferred. Is there anyone else out there that is from the Foxboro office and have they heard anything. I loved working for MQ until I was transferred.
Columbus Office
I am in the Columbus office. There is ALWAYS plenty of work (more than I think can ever be done :-) But, I don't like my hours being micromanaged (I'm an SE) and am producing WAY over minimum, so don't bug me if I work 3 hours and produce 1000 lines, when I could really slow it down and do my minimum 400 lines a day and drag it out to 5 hours.
