In Reply to: Their platform made me want to pull my hair out!! (SM) - MTnOH
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

It can be extremely slow and there is no breakdown, but
nm
In Ex-Text, can I get a detailed breakdown of my
I'm a newbie with Ex-Text and I might be overlooking something, but the Dictaphone I-Chart site is no help for getting the number of reports, and I can only seem to see the Ctrl-I stats for the current day.
How do we get a correct breakdown by report types,
nm
I don't know the breakdown, but I am high level 4 and make 9 cpl. SM
My account is 70 to 90 percent ESL.
SECOND THE MOTION!!! NM
NM
There is a scheme in motion.
I have been thinking along the same lines myself. They are planning to get rid of the experienced MTs and put in new MTs that are willing to do anything just to have a job. Very discouraged with them.
I'll second that motion!
Must be a bush supporter.
I second the Transcend/MDI motion..
I'd have to third that motion. In this biz, I never burn bridges I may have to cross later or sta
on. I do my best to work both until I see how it will work. Trust me, I have seen in only a day if there was potential or not at a new job. You get a feel for support, difficulty of work types, and overall general feel of what this new place is like. Besides that, when I first came home to do transcription and had to give notice, as this is what i had one previously in the outside world. Boy was I shocked when after giving my 2 weeks notice I found out I was locked out of the account. Apparently, my 2 weeks notice ended NOW....so beware and be cautious.
Second the motion.. Nice people.. Best company I have worked for.
They really care about their employees and it shows..
Yes, I second the motion on everything the other poster. Bad test files and reputation
for no pay. I know there was a controversy on here way back about her not paying or something. I cant remember it all but it did not sound good.
I lasted only a few months...
From my personal experience -The clients are horrible, ESLs are very high, no work, lack of respect and they never can seem to get your paycheck correct. Just knowing that they are up for sale was enough for me to look elsewhere.
i lasted 1 month...c msg
pay was pretty good at 8.5 cpl, and they do have some nice staff members.
BUT, horrible platform, heavy ESL doctors, and terrible english-speaking doctors. it was obvious that each QA member had their own preference, even going agaist global emails sent to the mts. a couple of us didnt like our trainer (it looked like we were talking about the same person who is supposedly gone now.
you'll find a lot on the archives.
I think I lasted a month.
nm
that's why i lasted only 1 month
/
2 esl, 1 neuro, all others were Taken. lasted a day.
nm
ex-WMX - I lasted there a year also
things were great, then after a year it all went to heck - maybe they do not want long-term MTs - they do that where my partner works, they even brag about it - just keep a huge turn-around of employees so they pay less benefits.
I do know there are people that have been there for years but perhaps you would have to be in from the beginning.
my experience was that they gave preference to MQ hires also...
I only lasted a week with OSi
I think they were totally unprofessional and very disorganized and there was not enough work. I quit almost 2 months ago and they called me this Saturday to see if I could put in some overtime.... nobody seems to talk to anybody else and communicate things. I went back to my old company and am much happier.
Would never have lasted 8 weeks
in these conditions. Have you asked management if the problems can be fixed? like asap?
yup, das y i quit--only lasted a month with them and i could see where it was going
j
im not too far, i lasted one month (suprising)
/
I lasted one job on their ortho account
was told right up front, first sentence by the trainer that the system was very intricate and difficult; she was right - 50+ page manual just on how to access the system (four separate systems to log into before you could retrieve a file). No samples given because prior reports can be accessed through one of the systems (and who wants to spend all their time searching through old records to find canned text?). I thought I could rock it with 16+ years experience but said no thank you after completing the first file. I will say one of my fellow MTs works there on a Bayscribe account and had wonderful things to say about the company - it was just my bad luck to run into an account with a horrible very unfriendly MT system.
It lasted a little longer for me, but I'm ready to move on. -sm
Nice people. You really do feel appreciated for a while, but then I don't know if they think the average lifespan of an MT with any company is that short-lived or what, but they started giving my primary away to others, secondaries I would never get the same dictator twice unless it was a work type I hate and told them I hate, then I'd get them regularly. I don't get it. Feedback and evaluations are not in their vocabulary after you're out of probation. I think it's time to move on.
I hated Amphion, lasted 3 weeks
nm
They had great benefits and little work. I lasted three
nm
Been there. Honeymoon stage with eTrans lasted 1 week. Not there any more...nm
s
My "lull" lasted about an hour. Now it's back on too much work!! (LOL)
nm
I lasted 2 weeks with the account and sound quality. sm.
It was a verbatim account and the sound quality was extremely bad. Nothing but a headache that I just wasn't willing to put up with for a paycheck when I had other options. With no other options I may consider staying longer, but no way any other time.
lmao!! yeah maybe I'm the recruiter...suggesting that my co-worker is the problem. yeah that make
x
It has been a couple of years but I tried to work there and lasted 1 day and so did a friend of mine
The ESL were AWFUL.. It was all I got and I could not understand anything they said. They were out of California so had a real mixed bag of ESL but none of it was doable. Things could have changed, who knows.
Yeah, yeah, I spelled health wrong -
I am very angry right now and my fingers are taking it out on the keyboard.
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!!
X
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
...
Sure, come here and keep it quiet. haha sm
haha, I think she just did, on this board!
x
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 (but not really funny, it is sad). You can do so much better...(no message)
xx
Haha ... you're funny ... lol. nm
haha - actually I kinda' like it better as a DO-DO list! nm
