Your Office Gene, was in Monorovia, CA. Owner sold to Medquist. :( nm
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. 
I worked out of the Monrovia office
and was a victim of all the shenanigans. The suits think they can, well, you know, on the MTs. Yep, yep, yep.
It was a great company before othey sold out to Medquist years back.
Now it's crap.
If it merged with Monrovia you are in luck. Monrovia is great. (sm)
I am an SE there for many years now. They want a schedule and you are supposed to be pretty solid with it in order to qualify for bonuses. If something major comes up (storms, computer problems, schedule conflict, etc.) I just call and they are great.
Does Medquist still have an office in Nashville? Does
anyone know what the plans are for that location?
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...
Anyone work for the Medquist Illinois office?
Just wondering how they are.
Monrovia
These are questions you should be asking your supervisor, in fact, should have clarified at the time you were hired, in writing, not strangers on a message board.
former YOG too, Monrovia.
Carole did pay 10 and that was 1999. I was there 1999 until 2005, MQ line counting came to light 2004, when I SAW for myself, they were still doing it, I QUIT and told them what I found. Remember that blurp that would come up at the top of screen about infants and children description (I forget how it went) but it was about 7-8 lines. It did not show up when printed out. The clients were still being charged for it.
I think Carole she just got weary and wanted to rest and I do believe she did struggle about what the outcome would be for the MTs., I recall reading on chat boards, her posts. She just had everything sewn up when she announced, desk cleaned out etc and probably emails the announcement from home. That was it, done. I think she did worry about us a bit. All things come to an end, she prob. was just pooped.
I'm very happy at Monrovia MQ! nm

MQ Monrovia gets my vote, too nm
MQ Santa Ana/Monrovia?
Anyone an SE with Santa Ana/Monrovia MQ?
I work for Monrovia MQ sm
They're not bad at all. I always have work, my coordinator never bothers me, workflow is super nice, I wouldn't work anywhere else!  Monrovia Rocks!
A lot of people from Monrovia MQ are there. nm

Does MQ in Monrovia pay for spaces - do you have this ans in writing?
?
Monrovia meets all my needs and expectations.
.
And so did Carole C. who owned YOG in Monrovia...
until she made the sudden announcement that she had sold!
MedQuist board is now set up. See Medquist link to the left.
MedQuist board is now set up. See Medquist link to the left.
Link is also below.
I work as SE out of Monrovia - never heard of Sana Ana though.
.
I worked for Monrovia (poster below who got screwed)
Don't know anything about Santa Ana, but stay away from Monrovia.
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
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

Sold...
Even with their financials still up in the air? How could a company do due diligence to make such a large purchase?
What regionals offices were told? CSC's or what? Got anymore info?
Lee sold? yah...........nm
:)
sold
makes my stomach hurt
MQ being sold
I have only heard through the grapevine (pretty good vine though) that they will probably file chapter 11, be sold and restructured
I sold out...
When I graduated J-school all the jobs at newspapers paid basically minimum wage - I called a temp agency one day to see if they had any jobs (I had registered and done temp work previously for them) and they said a family practice needed someone to do medical transcription. I told him I had never done that but he said "Well obviously with your degree you know about language and grammar, so go ahead." And THAT is how I got into MT - no training or school whatsoever! This was 1993 - not sure if that happens these days. I decided I liked making more than minimum wage so I "sold out" - but I freelance. I'd say if U have freelanced U are certainly NOT a "wannabe" - congrats!!! U don't need a journalism degree for that - just talent, which U obviously must have!
MQ Being sold
Being out of debt may help them in regards to a buy out--they may be out of debt but they have huge lawyers fees being paid yearly for the 5 or 6 lawsuits,( this number is staggering and growing every day) none of which are settled I believe at this point but they are still closing offices and clearly stated in their fiancial report that they had lost money in the first half of this year and expected to continue losing money in the second half of the year and would still be closing offices and eliminating office personnel so maybe they are clearing out the fat to look more attractive for a buy out.
why does every MT have to be called and why are we all getting individual packets?? something is not right
who got sold to who
Forgive me for being slow, but I am really confused about what you guys are talking about. Did DRC get sold to this Acusis place?
Actually they have been sold to Ny-Dox but are still SM
making calls to generate business.
If one of the office people or management told you they would not sell, why would you believe it as we have already been told so many lies? They have indeed been sold, and it's been a done deal for over a month now - prior to the loss of the big account.
Heartland sold
HIS employees - watch your backs - they have sharp sticks to put into your back while smiling to your face!
That doesn't mean it was sold...
there are many reasons why the accounts/offices are going through closure/moving.
If contracts are not renewed, then not only will the account be finished but if that is a significant percentage of work for that office MQ may choose to merge that office with another for cost savings.
All I know to believe is what they have told me.
YOG sold out to MQ didn't they???
No, it was USAType and she sold it anyway
Never heard of USA Medical Trans.
FI sold to Dictaphone
Does anybody know anything about that? I was told that this has already happened -
Why were we sold in the first place?
And why weren't we given any warning that this was potentially taking place?
Sold to Nuance, will probably be big changes, that usually
gets better, if at all. I worked for Focus Infomatics and was treated like a lower class citizen. The Indian men treat the women with extreme disrespect. I was yelled foul language over the phone and another lady that I know was sexually harassed. I know one of those guys got shipped back to Bangalore, but I think the one who was the worst is actually still working in the Focus office in the States.
They sold off what they have. They might have more on hand, but I think that sm
once it's gone, it's gone.
So, no they do not provide equipment. They sold what they had for dirt cheap. Some accounts need it, some don't. If they have it, they will sell it to you very cheap, if they don't you have to find your own.
LOL I just sold one on Ebay!
If they are going for only $40 new I did really well! :)
Medware Sold?
Does anyone have the scoop on this? I was told in 2 different interviews that Medware had been sold and is now in acquisition mode. If this is true, then why don't the Flannerys be up front with the employees?
This is IF they sold. But if they did, no one forced
x
Sold and name changes. Something like Aracus or something.

No... she is gone and TMTS sold out
The person that was the recruiter and vice president of Tidewater was still there when they sold out to Imedx, a company with an address here in the States but definitely an Indian company. This person was abruptly let go about one year ago around January 2008. I was a long-term IC MT with Tidewater, saw my account (which I had previously handled solo for about four years) go to the new system which was basically being transcribed overseas. I edited for awhile and after helping them with getting their overseas people up to speed on the account, I was let go.
Is there way to tell is one's company is being sold? SM
I know the company I work for is in financial trouble. How can figure out if a sale is in the offing? Is cutting payroll a sign?
I won't mention company name. Besides, so many have already been sold, I figure someone here may have some tips. 
MTs being sold down the river
I find it disturbing that there may be health care administrators and even transcription company owners who are reading this nonsense and believing it. Where is the work disappearing to? We know a considerable amount to India and Korea. Why? One reason is because according to Nuance/eScription there are not enough American MTs to fill the jobs. Not only is this dishonest and unethical, but it is a slap in the face to all hardworking MTs in this country. Unfortunately, we all know this is not the only corporation guilty of this kind of irresponsible hype, but it is certainly one of the most blatant. Bless the companies that refuse to outsource abroad, but is it possible that they are losing accounts because they don't? All I know is that knowledge is power and trying to understand some of the reasons why our industry is in the condition it is in may lead to solutions.
Worked for company that was sold
I worked for a US company that was sold to an Indian company. It was truly a nightmare. No one had any kind of plan as to what was going to happen, there were management changes weekly, and in the end, nearly ever US MT was laid off or fired and nearly all of the work was sent to India. Right after the company was sold, paychecks bounced, utilities in our building were shut off for nonpayment, expenses were not reimbursed, and even health insurance premiums were not paid and many people had no healthcare coverage for nearly a month.
When the lady sold her company to..sm
Execuscribe, it went downhill from there. I was hired by them, went through ALL of the testing except the Psych thing.....and then I was told I would be paid 7 cpl and I had to purchase liability insurance. CC....this Denise person must have been your "bestest" friend????
