Would kind of like to go back. Loved the gang; I used to be a YOGer. Had to leave about 1-1/2 years ago because of no work. Still mostly IC? Thanks.

FATCAT - Has your worked picked up?
I've read your posts for years and know you've been happy at MDI, as have I. My main account has FINALLY picked up this week. Was wondering if things have picked up for you as well. I'm breathing a huge sigh of relief and working as much as I can. FINALLY!
I worked there for over a year...left because of lack of work...
one months lots of work, the next three months no work, so on and so forth...when there is a little extra work they do a big hire and once again the faithful MTs who stick by them have no work...I have been gone for over a year and it is still the same way...
I worked in acute care and left due to lack of work.
My primary was just overflow, though they didn't tell us that. I had followed the account from another company and there should have been 3 times the work. Every week I was asking for a new account because they kept giving me accounts that were evidently overlow or otherwise very low volume accounts and I still wasn't getting 20 hour/week.
If you think you dont get more of the junk work when it is picked over by VR or ASR you had better
think again. The best attendings will be gone to VR and you will get the leftovers. I have been doing both for a year and I can guarantee you your CEO is full of it. Dont believe a word of it. You will either make less money on ASR or less money on the leftovers. Take you choice.
Con: Overflow work is cherry-picked from the git-go by the account's inhouse MTs. nm

I worked there as an MT..... was not happy and left.
I worked there for 2 years. There were a lot of policies there that I did not like. I left there and found a company that is better suited to me and treats their employees much better.
How long have you been there? I know leaving the comfort of a job is tough but there are much better companies to work for (in my opinon anyway)
I worked for MQ for 12+ years, left in
6/07. Up until 1/07 it was a good place to work. But in 1/07 they started losing accounts and in 6/07 changed the incentive plan to the point I was losing $600 a month, not to mention the inflexibility of schedules, no communication, lack of raises (did not have one in 5 years), etc. I have never once regretted leaving especially after reading the MQ Board. If you just start there and did not go through the changes it might be okay, but if you have a choice to not go there.
I worked for them for 3 months and left. Always
of full time lines, so no sign on bonus. I had an 80% ESL account and I cared more about the quality, so I made less than 900 dollars a payperiod. Great quality, good for them and my conscience, but not enough money to live on, no sign on bonus and no benefits. I left for a company where I am already far exceeding 900 dollars a payperiod with no sweat. BTW: No incentive or good QA bonuses at Transcend, so that was no help. No differential either. They do pay overtime, but that is not so great when you are trying to make sure you understand multiple foreign accents. Good luck to you.
I too worked for Milner and left sm
2 years ago. I experienced alot of the same treatment the orgiinal poster experienced. Everyones situation is different but don't discount anyone's experience. Just because one MT had a good experience doesn't mean everyone will and visa versa.

I worked there for 2 years and am glad I left
However, I have several friends that still work there, love it and probably will never leave. I personally choose not to work for a company that outsources overseas. Just my opinion though.
Worked there for 2 yrs and left a couple months ago.
Couldn't take working with unqualified people any longer. A very unprofessional company.
Have worked for them both. American MTs get what is left over. They pick first.

Been here about a month, but worked for them 3 years ago and never should have left.
I left the first time cuz DH (now my EX-DH) was less then cooperative to say the least.
I LOVE it here.
I worked there and left, recentily went back and
this is where I will hopefully retire from. I went from company to company and was never happy with any of them. MQ works for me. Very happy that I went back!
I worked for them recently for a few weeks and left because of SM
low/no work. No hard feelings.
tired of running out of work!
Are they any small companies out there they don't run out of work for IC people. I have a set schedule and lately have had to make adjustments to get my line count more then ever! Please E-mail with information. TIA. 
tired of running out of work
Molly: I am about to give you a closely held secret that will pay off.....guaranteed! Try contacting all the Speech Pathologists in your area and send them a flyer. I got tired of the ESL's, hospitals and even the national companies and have been working for 4 Speech and Lanugage therapists for going on 6 years. Very little complicated medical terminology and they don't require 24 hour service. I type 200+ pages per month at $5.00 a page (no line counts) and have a wonderful relationship with them. Try it.....it works! I also prepare professional resumes for a living.
Also, contact your local colleges for some extra transcription work and stay away from the line counts.
I hope this helps!

i'm so tired of running out of work. sm
i'm tired of working with companies that overhire. anyone out there known someone or a good company work for that has radiology. i'm just about ready to change my career. i've been doing this for 15 years and i think i'm getting burned out. but i'm not sure what else i want to do. i love the medical field. but i do have two elementary aged kids and like being home for them.
Tired of Waiting for work
Just want to vent here . . . .
I have worked for a IC for 5 years, over the summer the work dwindled down, keep getting promises of new accounts coming, still sitting here with no work. I am applying for the online jobs here every day. I have been doing MT for 13 years. I just get no response from any of the resumes I send. I'm going to have to get a job outside of home before my hubby kicks me out:( It just seems like nothing is ever going to come my way. I need a job!
Okay, vent over, thanks!
Yep, I got tired of waiting for work
and empty promises so I took on two jobs. Of course when they are both busy they want me to work extra. Tough. There was no work for me when I was trying to feed my family for weeks as I sat looking at a blank screen.
I wasn' screaming...I left MQ after 8 years and worked for MDI-MD
for 1 month before I finally went to where I am now. I just asked if anyone else got theirs. I got mine from MQ and now I have to wait for 2 more. It was just a generalized question, not accusatory at all. What a jerk!
meant *work for* sorry..tired fingers..nm:)
...
For radiology, Keystrokes is the best. I worked at MQ for 8 years and left in January. sm
Wish I had done it two years ago. Lots of work, easy accounts, great team leads! I am making less per report but more each check because of better account with more work available!
I am not miserable at all. I am just tired of excuses of why people cannot work! nm

I am SOOO sick and tired of BEGGING for work!
Anyone know of a company that is hiring ICs, flexible scheduling, multispecialty clinic, at least 8 cents a line (shows my desperation...!), steady, dependable work flow for the most part, a company where you can stay and work for at least a few years straight. Any out there? Do not want MDI-MD. Do not want to be an employee - want to be an IC. Do not want any complicated platforms. Any smaller companies out there? I can't find jack lately, even with over 10 years experience. I need consistent work!
Tired of hearing that nurses work holidays because...sm
Nurse's in my area start pay at $63,000 per year. How many pennies a line do you making typing on Christmas Day?
One year I was forced to work on Thanksgiving and I sat there with no work. My family was in another town making memories and enriching their lives while I made 8 cents a line with no lines to type.
You are not a nurse and neither am I.
I also worked there. Hated DocQScribe & left after tech person toasted my

Are there companies out there that have clinic work? Tired of acute care..
I have both hospital and clinic experience, but I am tired of working for large hospitals where you cannot get familiar with the accounts or the dictators. I work part-time for an orthopedic surgeon and I love doing it as I can breeze through it because I have learned his style, voice etc.. It is getting so frustrating every day doing different doctors who either cannot speak English or choose to speed talk and ramble on so fast. Do they think we are miracle workers?? I guess you could say I want an easy account, which by now, I have figured out, does not exist OR does it?? HELP.. any ideas besides getting out of this profession 
Is Lee Perfect hiring, and how much do they pay? How is the work load. I'm tired of running out o
work with the present company. It's getting old and I cant survive on low work.
tired, tired, tired of all the tech
problems with these platforms. I just want to work on an old fashioned program, like WP5.1 or Medrite, maybe with voice wave. Too many problems. Does anybody know any companies that use something like these. Just call me a dinosaur lover.
tired of companies overhiring and then sitting and waiting endlessly for work
The accomplishes nothing because then people get tired of not making any money and move on. Is there no solution to this?
I actually left about a year ago and work for another company that's running out of work. Have to

Much good work going to India. Bad work left
xx
Why can't companies at least let you know you were not picked for a job?
Yeah, yeah, I'm sure they are bombarded with people testing, but when you think of the hours spent for MTs trying to find a new job, and they take all those MTtest.com tests while still trying to work all day, only never to hear a peep back is hard to take. A simple thanks, but no thanks would go a long way in my book. I am sick of wasting my time.
Please. Yep, they picked 1 MT to send it to.
Looks like I picked the 2 right choices TY!

I just picked that out thin air. nm

I actually picked up a stalker
several years ago from another website. A pretty frightening experience!
If you want to be nit-picked to death
Then by all means, hire on with Keystrokes. I had just started with them but after I saw my review, I told them I did not want to work for them. They nit-pick every comma, etc., to death and there was no way I was going to put up with that. These services get so carried away by all the insignificant crap that they just drive away anyone who is a good MT but doesn't want to put up with the nit-picking. Good luck.
Has any company said thank you to those who have picked up the extra
work for those who are "out of service" from the hurricane? I have worked my fingers to the bone to keep a few accounts happy, no thanks, no overtime, no bonus. Guess I am the dummy here.
Love it here. I picked my shift, and
I enjoy it. Great benefits (I pay 236 a PP for full family insurance PPO with dental and vision!) plus PTO, holidays, and never ever late pay with direct deposit. The staff is awesome and I love my platform.
She tries to be nice..gets picked on for a typo..(sm)
and SHE'S hateful? You people are too much.
if someone actually PICKED this name.. then they need to hire someone with brains... nm

Has the workload at MDI picked up for anyone? My accounts are still really low. nt
x
Amen to that - I have years of exp but never felt picked on here. nm
.
It was slow on one of my accounts this summer but picked up. sm
If I were you, I would go to Karyn or Becky, not Martha. Both of them will help you. I think Martha is too busy with new hires but the other two are great with back-up accounts or at least getting the names in front of Martha. Just a friendly tip, not meant to offend or cause flames.
Have picked up a PT job on the side. Hoping all works well with WMX, but (sm)
not going to disappoint the grandchildren at Xmas and birthday times.
The only problem with picking up a PT job is you lose flexibility in making up hours/lines with WMX because you are otherwise obligated. Oh well, I don't think that can be considered my fault. I just don't want to use up my PTO because of it. Will they just let you take unpaid time if they run out of work during your window or do they make you use PTO or make it up?
I don't work for TT but when I left my former job I
was hired over the phone with the new company on my first phone interview with them. Companies do not always test if you have the experience and they can tell that you know your stuff when they talk to you.
I left for no work. There is work on some accounts, but NO
work on other accounts.
