In Reply to: I'm so sorry. What was their reasoning? nm - Hope you adjust quickly. nm
thing and not during my shift, as I work evenings. Something about changes in the organization and jobs have been phased out or merged and mine was phased out. I know that without shift leads there are going to be a lot MTs out there on their own, but what can I say. Just the way of the MT world I guess, constantly changing. lol

I missed the conf call, but got an
e/m intro'ing my new supervisor for my acct. Do you know what she got promoted to?
Missed conference call...(sm)
I'm hoping for a recap email regarding the conference call. In the meantime, anything interesting or noteworthy? I'm definitely torn on this one, and hoping for some good news.
I COMPLETELY MISSED THE MDI CONFERENCE CALL, WHAT'S UP?
Please give me the details. :)
Good and Bad - some gifts bought/missed WMX benefits call (sm)
Of course I procrastinated to attend the call on my day off, then off I went with my daughter shopping.
Did I miss anything much other than explanation of health plans? Is there a web site they referred to you? Should I call HR and admit I am a moron?
TIA
The recruiter said she would call me with a 60 minute test? sm
The test is over the phone?
They pay per minute dictated for THE RADIOLOGIST ON CALL FAXED A PRELIMINARY REPORT.
It's hard to make money when you get really short reports.
People were nice to me though.
Phone call (sm)
I have a feeling I might miss this famous phone call because I never answer any call I don't recognize on my caller ID, especially 800 numbers (I hate people trying to sell me stuff -- including MQ LOL).
I wonder if it will say MedQuist. Oh well, I'll just keep reading the boards and probably just as good as the phone call!
Sorry to hear about your hospital stay. Hope you feel better and more together soon. Wish I had an excuse to not have my mind together...
ANY MQ SE GET THE PHONE CALL YET?
What is this all about?
What phone call
are you talking about?
phone call
Can someone relay exactly what was said on the phone call. Was it just talking about the W account or talking about the company being sold or what. I work on a different account and I have not recieved a phone call, please clarify. Thanks.
I got a phone call from L - sm
and then a call later from the office when they needed me to stop work and send in my time and lines.
It was pretty fast.
Call them - someone can help you over the phone
Great company. If you've fallen through the loop it's probably because they have a lot of other applicants too. Give them a call. They're great people.
Did anyone receive a phone call yet
or is this all speculation???
No phone call, but a thought came to me. (sm
I wonder if they are sending out individual packets which might show the level of the employee and the rate of pay they will pay for their status and account. Since this would be on an individual basis that might account for some of the "wait and see" we are getting. Wow.... October is a long way off.
Hopefully whoever gets a call first will post and let us know whatever they find out.
MQ Phone call/Packet
Got the call and yes the packet is suppose to be in the mail in OCT--never gave it a thought that each packet might be different--as stated before none of my questions were answered. Read that the Houston office is closing, are they merging with Dallas??? Is there anyone out there still working for the Foxboro office and will they be one of the offices that will be closing in the future???
Warning about the phone call from MQ...sm
After reading the boards about the new MQ plan I went to Qnet to see what I could find. I haven't received the packet yet nor had I received a phone call (or so I thought). I found a section that stated I received a phone call on Sept 15th and that I had received paperwork. I wondered what the heck was going on. Checked my caller ID and sure enough on Sept 15th there was an 800 number (after typing it in Google I found out it was Medquist). After talking with my husband at dinner about the new plan and the phone call he finally (after 2 weeks) tells me that they called and HE told them that I got a paper in the mail. They never called ME back or asked that I call them with questions. So you might want to ask your husband or kids if they talked to someone. 
Start with a phone call! sm
Call the offices or clinics, ask for the office manager, and ask about their transcription status. Go from there. You just may end up "in the right place at the right time".
It takes lots of energy and motivation, but it is well worth it.
Also, you must keep your promises to them to succeed. If you say you will have the work back in 24 hours, you must have the work back in 24 hours, etc. It is very important to be honest with your clients. They are frustrated just as much as we MTs are with the lack of honesty and integrity throughout this industry.
Good luck to you.
Nice getting a phone call, that
is nice to be appreciated. What are their good points. I am always looking.
Pick up the phone and call
x
call the phone company
and tell them they are, in fact, harassing you and ask them how to block their calls. That would seem to be a better way to handle it.
Didn't you get the phone call?
Even though our cost of living is probably about 5 times that of Bangalore, some genius has decided that compensation should be 'equalized'. That's about as much explanation as you're going to get. At least in my phone call, they tried to say that they conducted a survey of MTSOs and determined that we were way overpaid, so in doing the global calibration, they have determined that we won't be hurt too badly. While no specific mention was made of VR, I'm wondering if that's going to be plummeting down to the 2 cents that we thought must be a joke in a prior posting.

No packet or phone call..maybe I'm TOAST!
NM
I'm curious if any of you pick up the phone and actually call your STM sm
to discuss your worries, or do you just post anonymously on the boards and hope a miraculous change will happen by osmosis? Personally I'd call my manager and specifically request to be backed up to an account that has a lot more work on a regular basis, and maybe phase out some of the smaller other 4 accounts.
But that's just me and maybe that's why I am happy and secure here....
Good luck to you.
Breitner transcription phone call?
What phone call/meeting was this? I was never informed of any.
Provide it to the moderators along with TB's phone number to call. :)

Get proactive!!! Pick up the phone and call the office?? NM

Make a phone call. Too important to leave to email. nm

Is it possible to do call forwarding to one of those expensive phone sex lines? teehee.

Good point. Who do I get on the phone if I have to call customer service
for my credit cards, or software questions, or whatever? I get someone who I can barely communicate with in the freakin Philippines, or wherever. It is so WRONG.
I did phone training years ago on the platforrm and was paid 50.00 per call (sm)
The call usually lasted an hour, and was one-on-one.
I didn't even receive the courtesy of an e-mail, phone call, etc. sm
I thought the test was very easy. I've got 18-years of experience, sent a cover letter (that I spent an hour on) in addition to my resume and got not response whatsoever. The least an MTSO could do is say, Thanks, but no thanks. Daily applications, cover letters, and testing without so much as an email is beyond frustrating!
I received a phone call from MDI mgt. about my questionnaire answers and told ICs must by E/O ins.

Can anyone from the Ohio MQ office give me a contact person and a phone number to call so I can talk
to someone there without getting a lot of other people involved before I find out what kind of accounts they have to offer. I am interested in transferring from my current office but would like to speak with someone up there first. Even an email address of someone would help.
1.70 regular minute, 2.25 stat per minute. sm
I do all cardiology.
Worked on C-phone for 10 years with 1 phone line
nn
C-phone - I purchased a c-phone from someone in Oklahoma but never got it. *sm*
First she told me her grandmother died. Then she told me she mailed it. Then she told me her daughter was having chemotherapy. Call me naive, but I thought she was sincere and cannot imagine anyone using their daughter as an excuse. If this is the same person from Oklahoma, I sure would like to know about it because now I want my money back.
I don't have a second phone line ... cable modem for the internet, regular line for my C-phone.
If anyone wanst to get through to me while I'm working, they have my cell phone number.
And, as I said, some accounts are using wav files -- no doubt soon all of the accounts will convert. Hope so ... would make it easier (less expensive) to work when traveling. :-)
Lots of good companies out there -- hope you find one that fits :)
Yes, call waiting works. I also have call forwarding from my home line

C-Phone = Connexions Phone
Dictaphone is a company and one of their many products is a C-Phone.

Looks like you might have missed a
NM
Somehow I missed that.....SM
Was it this week's? For some reason, I didn't get it last week but got it the week before that. I just figured they didn't do one last week...... Most companies do have at least a few accounts on VR but I don't like it. I've been really happy at Amphion the last month and a half and thought I had found the company for me but that's just my luck - seems like at every company things will go good for about 8 months and then things change on you. Hope history doesn't repeat itself here.........
I got both. Were you missed somehow? sm
I did not reimbursed. I had a trial version and they gave me a new unlocking key. Wow. It's like we work for different companies. I think we are on the same account as I was on a conference call about the account when SH was mentioned. I got the cheat sheet instructions and license within a week. You really should call.
You missed it
The poster I was responding to, said that she always gets her 80 hours and her lines WITHIN her shift and that it is an easy thing to do. I asked how she does it when there is NO work. I am flexible, I have to be because of the lack of work. I was asking her to explain to us how she can get her lines and hours in on days when there is no work. Some days I am practically chained to the computer.
I missed that ad. (sm)
What happened with that?
I thought that it was odd that they were posting on an MT website.
Thanks so much!!
You can call it greed, I call it feeling like
I am back in the 80s with the money I am pulling in. SS, retirement check and my paycheck, cha-ching. Not planning on taking it with me, never. Love to travel and have 4 places planned for this year. High maintenance lady here. Ta-Ta.
Uh, no. I'd say YOU missed the point.
The first poster said: "You could take someone off the street and that person WOULD be doing the best they could possibly do." Poster never said "could". The only way someone off the street WOULD be doing their best is if they got hired. The other person's opinion about companies not hiring someone off the street is correct in context.
I know for sure that I missed at least 3 questions - sm
They were sound alike words. I was nervous. However, I did very well on the written test and the transcription parts. I was offered a job, that I really did not expect after my verbal test. So, try not to worry too much about it. I think there are about 10 questions. Good luck!
well, apparently I have missed that.
Not a problem, though. Have a great day
you missed my point
poster did not ask who makes really great money. Yes, you are making what you make, yes that is real. To tell the poster that $50,000 year is decent is not realistic. Making $25,000 a year is decent and realistic. Do you understand?
Sorry, I missed the posts below. nm
