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.
Foxboro Medquist Office
Are there any MTs who worked for the Foxboro office that is now closed? I do and I cannot reach anyone for assistance! Received a new computer today, still working on MTS, apparently the new computer is for DocQscribe....soooo confused...
Sorry this is the Amherst office of MQ.

Amherst MQ Office
Why is this office allowed to operate this way?? Why is nothing done. I wish this office would be closed and we were transferred somewhere else but it seems like any office in the NE that is closed, is sent to Amherst.
Amherst regional office
i hope that you are not referring to the amherst office, that has to be the worse office in the northeast--let's hope that the regional office is somewhere else
Which office are you in. I am in Amherst and always out of work along with everyone else. What good
do the incentive plans they bring out do if we have not work. Isnt that crazy. You get x amount of money for x amount of lines but no work and now they will give employees more leeway to get their lines in so we will all be fighting for lines at all hours.
MQ Ohio office closing-why not Amherst
What I don't understand is why they are closing an office that is obviously run very well--I don't think I have every seen anything but good about this office and yet they are closing it and continuing to leave the Amherst office open. What is wrong with this picture!!!!
Something is not right here but yet nothing is being done
no answers, but correct, not out of Amherst office.

Is this the same office as Amherst. Why do they constantly run you out of work at Buffalo with no
explanation. Well, a lot of offices that are closing are shifting to Buffalo so I will be very unhappy if I lose my accounts and I will be long gone. Are you losing a lot of MTs at Buffalo because of this.
Does anyone work for the Buffalo/Amherst office of MQ and do you get bounced around a lot on
accounts or do you have a main mostly. What can you tell me about these people.
Is everyone in the Amherst office being run out of work or how are they dealing with this situation
if you are out of work. Anyone with any experience with this at Amherst that can shed some light on what to expect at this office from what you have experienced. Thanks.
Can you tell me about the Amherst office as I just got transferred there and alrady seeing my work
disappear. Where does it go.
Well here we go running out of work at Amherst again. Does this go on all the time at this office as
I just started there. How many accounts do you need to have work there. This whole thing with MQ is ridiculous and they keep hiring. Must be getting ready for something.
Does anyone happen to have the number to call Amherst MQ office. Thanks much.

Are we all from the same office. I am from Amherst and they run such a tight TAT time anything runs
us out of work even a doctor coughing a few extra times and we are out of work.
Warminster office is about ready to close its doors. Our accounts unfortunately went to Amherst. I
understand they are going to have a national system not regional where when there is a hospital that needs help people out of work get work in it. I would rather have a main account or a few I know so I am not sure about this new deal. Maybe they are going in with Spheris.
I have heard really bad things from QA about our overflow that goes to Amherst. Not good quality and
clients complaining because the MTs that are getting the work are making mistakes and not reading the client profile. Good way to lose accounts.
I have heard they will have three main offices. Is there a reason Amherst is so short of work. What
is it they are trying to accomplish. They must be losing MTs if there is no work. No the new ASR rate is not out yet. If it goes low you will see an exodus off ASR I guess so that will mean more MTs on the regular work. It will be a big shock for some of them to see what that is like now.
Anybody heard of Bureau of Office Services?
Does anyone have any experience with this company? They are in Illinois.
TIA
I heard it was the company that bought their office in India. SPI?

And I am joining the KS Team on
Halloween!!! Yippee. Goodbye MQ, I'm coming back to KS, where I should have never left. They are the best and in no time they will be better still. I can't wait!
You will be joining a lot of us. I started with
KS on 1/4 and could not be happier. I am on a clinic account that is busy with a good platform. You'll be amazed at how great it feels to be able to do your work and not worry about lawsuits, offshore or offices closing!
Dr. joining an internet company
Anyone out there that can figure this out? I work for a local physician who has decided to go with the Interest because supposedly it's cheaper. They state they will charge 7 cpl 65 character. How can a company charge that little and still pay the MT. Will the MT make 2 or 3 cpl and who would do that?? Any comments?
I'm joining their team, too. I was told they prefer that

I thought it was MD-IT joining with SOAP Transcription. Something I saw

MQ Houston office closing? I was thinking about applying but I just heard that they are closing
the Houston office soon. What's going on with them?
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.
Just curious, is the MQ Nashville office the old Lanier office? 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.
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.
Closed FW office, Indianapolis office too. nm

Yes. Amherst
How did you know?
MQ/AMHERST
The problem with the Amherst office is the VP in that office and the director. They are 2 overpaid women who micro manage the entire office. They need to do that to prove to the top management in the company that they are worth keeping. I would never recommend any MT staying in that office. If you want to stay with MQ I would advise transferring from the Amherst office. It will never get better with those 2 women. The in-house employees there are also very unhappy and are treated terrible by these 2 women. Unfortunately this office really gives MQ a bad name, whereas some of the other offices I think I run very well.
Amherst/ P AND M
yes you are right
amherst/P&M
I am not sure. I do know that these two women have actually had a death threat about a year ago. What a shame that corporate would allow this to continue. They must have know about that because the police were involved and it was documented. I would think the company would be fearful of more law suits, etc. not sure why they let this happen.
Buffola/Amherst
They are both the same. I think any office that is closed in the northeast, the transcriptionists are sent to Foxboro or Amherst, therefor lots of MT's and no work
Amherst and no work
It does not matter if it is the end of the pay period or not, I am always running out of work since I was transferred to the Amherst office. Too may MT's and not enough accounts and yet they are still hiring. My girlfriend was lucky enough to be transferred to the Ohio office and actually had an incentive for this week end--go figure
Amherst/No Work
I was transferred to Amherst over 9 months ( I was tranferred there from Foxboro because there was no work there) ago and I am having the same problem since I started there. I really think that no one cares. I don't care how many times you call the office or email, nothing is never done. It seems so unfair because the other MQ offices have work and we seem to have the only office that is run like this--AWFUL!!!! Is there anyone out there that works for the Amherst office that never runs out of work and if so, how many accounts do you have??? Why doesn't someone in Corp helps us and get this office run right
Amherst I assume.

MQ-Columbus/Amherst
I too work for the Colunbus office and it is the best. I have one primary acct and I am able to do 15,000 lines a pay period and never worry about running out of work. I am not bragging about it, I feel sorry for the MT's in the Amherst office and wish that your office was run like the Columbus office. Why do the big wigs let something like this continue on and give MQ a bad name. Rumor has it that my office is closing and we are being transferred to the Cleveland office, that is fine, as long as it is not to the Amherst office.
why they keep amherst open
amherst office runs all of the east coast offices. So you are probably safe if you tell HR you want to be managed by the west coast team. I think they are much nices to their MTs
You must not work out of Amherst
I am required to work 8 hours a day, being fulltime, and required to type a certain amount of lines per pay period. If I get my lines in before the 8 hours, I cannot stop working until I have worked the 8 hours. They are watching. Why do I have to do both?
It does not make sense to me. I DO NOT get paid by the HOUR. I get paid by the LINE.
Does anyone have an answer to that one?
RUN FROM AMHERST AS FAST AS YOU CAN.
:
Amherst and lack of work
How do you deal with it?? You try to get someone at the office to listen to you and then you start the endless list of 5 or 6 accounts that you bounce around it, trying to meet your line quota in fear that they may take away your insurance and now that the MT's from yet another office closing have been transferred there, I somehow do not know if this will even end. If MT's are out of work, why does the hiring continue?????? Or as someone has said, are they trying to get rid of the higher paid MT's, afterall MQ did say in their SEC report that they expected thier revenue to continue to decline with the loss of accounts and with new accounts coming in at a lower rate due to competition. One of the MT's that was transferred with me to Amherst, actually we have been transferred twice since the closing of our office, has started to do some ASR and was wondering if her pay scale was going to change. Her supervisor made a comment, "I don't think your rate will change, I will let you now" , has anyone had their rate change since doing ASR?????
Does anyone know how many offices MQ had 2 years ago and how many they have now?? Just curious as this was one of the things mentioned in the SEC filing ---about more offices closing--are they going for the Big Four--I was surprised to see that the Atlanta office was closing as I always thought that was one of the Big Four
Amherst needs 2 take a course in managing a business...
from Columbus. Great office! Kudos to ya guys...
amherst paying production and pto only?
Does that mean that if you work at Amherst office, there is no such thing as full-time and no health benefits? Very confused. If the packet states you can work 8, 16, 24 hours are you considered employee, and they take out your taxes. Am I understanding there will be no such thing as SE anymore? Please can some clarify these questions. TIA
I guess Amherst, NY and Ohio but I dont know the 3rd one.
:
Why does Amherst not offering anything at all. I guess because they have enough of us idiots to do
what little work there is there is no need to pay for anything at all. I guess they would rather keep hiring than allow us to have work and get a little extra on weekends and holidays. Nice right.
I have been with MQ Amherst now for 3 weeks and have continually run out of work. I know this has
been hashed out on here many times but my question is does anyone expect this problem to ever get resolved or should we simply expect to keep running out of work at Amherst forever. I know when they call me about the new pay plan and tell me it is incentive based I plan to tell them they better make sure we have work or their plan is a joke. What can I expect with this office and what can be done to correct it. I dont plan to have to work 8 accounts to get my lines in and have them QA me on accounts I have never done besides. If this problem is long standing and unlikely to be resolved it is time to either get out of that office or get out of MQ so I would like some good ideas and comments on this. We know it exists but what is the next step.
My opinion on QA point plan at Amherst
Yes it is ridiculous and you cannot possibly get a bonus for what they require 15% or fewer reports sent to QA every quarter. $50 and $100; what are they crazy.
Stay away from Amherst, NY. Bad deal there. No holiday pay, no weekend pay, and on it goes. They
are control freaks. I unfortunately got transferred there no of my own accord.
