Didn't you just love it before imail --
in the days of "bulletin board" for emails, when you could call the office and talk to a human who cared about you as a person, rather than a number, knew you by name and voice. Those were the good ole days with MQ.
So much has changed in the past year or two with MQ -- closing down offices and regionalizing offices, DQS used for switching MT's from one account to another, rather than letting us remain on the accounts of which we have become familiar, and which accounts we could make money on. The supes just can't leave us alone anymore since DQS -- STAT'ing jobs from one account to another account to us, slowing us down to read account specifics, instead of allowing us to remain on our familiar accounts so that WE CAN MAKE SOME MONEY AT THIS PROFESSION ! Pools are just not getting it anymore -- queue's have taken over! There is no way that one MQ MT can get the work types/horrible dictators report after report when we are working strictly from a pool ! DQS is great otherwise -- the MT-friendly software that it is in other ways ! But MQ management is not looking for MT-friendly anything anymore -- what stuffs their pockets fuller !
Glad somebody got us going in the right direction! Signed and delivered! Thanks!...nm

I signed and didn't pay. Just arrowed back.

Glad I am not the only one who didn't get it.

I am glad you didn't leave us because I like you
I haven't seen your ugly side.....yet. Sure hope you stick around because it wouldn't be fair to have anyone chase you away. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Good for U for not leaving (applause).
I'm glad you didn't do those things. I, for one, was just SM
trying to keep you from doing something so unbusinesslike that it might prevent you from getting a position somewhere else. I have many, many years' experience in all facets of medical transcription, MTSO, employee, IC, head of the department in a large hospital. You name it.
Bottom line is that your thinking was wrong. It may be your business to keep a roof over your family's head and food on the table, but it's not the doctor's responsibility and he shouldn't even know your name. His business is with the MTSO. To go around her and whine to her clients would be a very bad misstep for you.
It is MTSO's business to keep her roof and her food. She does that by meeting TAT and doing it without excuses. That's her job.
Thanks--glad I didn't miss anything! nm

So glad I didn't bust my a^^ to make the 10,000 lines!!!!!!!!!
their employees ANYTHING?
MQ acts like we are the ENEMY instead of the people that generate the
junk for their ungawdly profits.
Be glad they didn't ding you for padding your lines.

Imail
It came through the Q-news thingy that we get through Imail. I still have it, dated July 5, which is the first time I was aware of it. I can forward it to you if you'd like.
Imail, can someone please tell me: sm
Where/when did we get the notice about Imail being shutoff and how/where to access the new system. I have looked thru all my imail and snail mail correspondence and have found nothing? Did anyone else not know this was going to change? I can't believe I missed this.
Still can't get Imail... what am I
I put www.mail.medquistmail.com into my address bar and nothing comes up. Am I using the right address? Help!
jokes in imail
I for sure, would be forwarding those right on to someone in corporate, maybe even under the Ask Frank site
Have not received either imail or letter
regarding this subject. Would someone please summarize such email/letter in a post for us who have not received this info as of yet. TYIF
No Imail. Just call Georgia.
:
when Frank fixes Imail, then I might get his letter.
Just that the pay plan would be out in a few months. Period. Nothing more. By Imail I got it.
:
I have no idea. There is another imail this morning about better TAT and more executives being
hired. All I ever hear anymore from people that work at other companies is all the work they are getting from MQ accounts that are leaving MQ because of the over billing, etc. Things are not getting better and they just keep pushing us with more and more things and hiring more and more executives.
I refuse to go to Imail...I've gotten a virus from there and so have many other people. nm

Hey! I signed the above MQ QA
NOT not a cruise fan!! What is up with that???
I just signed up with the gym. You get one
free visit with the PT and then they try and get you to pay $50 a month extra to sign up with a PT. Hahahahahahah! Not happening. My little toe feels great but the rest of my body is screaming at me. Trying to work but that's not going well today.
I signed up with...sm
Best Friends. I wonder if anyone who has offered to foster pets from Katrina have been contacted yet. I haven't heard anything from them about being a foster parent. I live near Atlanta and I heard that several pets were sent to Atlanta's Humane Society, but haven't heard of anyone having a pet placed with them.
Maybe I'll try the LA SPCA posted here. Post if you or someone you know has had a pet from LA placed with them.
I thought I should say that I don't think there's anything funny going on, I just wonder what they're doing with all those pets.
Thanks!
I signed it but....
.....I don't like their tactics. When you click on "sign petition", it takes you to the donate page. Of course, you don't have to donate, but at first I, too, like some of the people further down in the threat, thought there was no other option besides donating. But then when I clicked on the "Signatures" tab, I saw my name was there.
There are a lot of gullible and unwary people out there - and the way they have that website set up, it is designed to prey on them. I signed this petition because I feel it is important, but I will not be signing any other petitions on that site.
Has anyone signed up for 6.99
a month with TranscriptionNet? Is it worth it, any good jobs to be found? Thanks
Hmm, I have a paper here that I signed that says
they will deduct FICA taxes, pay the employer part of FICA equaling 7.65%, and federal income taxes. It says I will receive a W-2, not a 1099.
FICA is the SS tax. So, if they are holding out federal taxes, FICA, employer part of FICA, then all that is left is state tax...??
it seems to be all offices, have you signed
up for IPAY? I have not gotten a check yet either, but there is a statement there for 09/02 which obviously is not a regular paycheck
Unless you signed something when you were hired
that says you agree to pay for return shipping when you leave, then the company is responsible. If you don't have your original hire paperwork, ask them for a return shipping label. If they say you agreed to pay for it, ask them to send you a copy of the signed agreement. Make sure you save all correspondence.
You never signed a noncompete, right?
Besides that, I have it from two attorneys and the State Department of Labor that noncompete agreements aren't legal in many states. TAKE the ACCOUNT and RUN!!!! This woman has said that you can have them, she doesn't want them. They do want you. You don't owe her any loyalty, especially if she's running her business into the ground. YOU need to look out for YOURSELF. That's what I'm doing today is making a list of every potential transcription client in my city and soliciting them by phone with follow-up letter.
Gee...isn't that the profession YOU signed up for as well?
Constantly correcting mistakes?
I signed and sent the link to everyone I know

I signed, did not donate
Signed but not reviewed
I am an IC and my new account wants me to include this under their signature line. Is this okay? Why? I transcribe microcassette tapes which are erased after every use. Legally, could I get in trouble if a report is dictated wrong/transcribed wrong, is it my responsibility since it states "Signed but not reviewed"? Any feedback is much appreciated...
Just signed up for MTEC
I was in the same boat as you a month or two ago and could not decide between these two. They both seemed equally good. I ended up signing up with MTEC, but it was just because of everything I read on the MTEC message forum.
I am so glad I went with MTEC. It looks very thorough and since I started 3 weeks ago, I have learned so much and their material is wonderful.
Good luck in your decision. I can't tell you much about Andrews besides it's one of the top 2 and it's also very good from what I have heard.
I have signed this, sent it to my family, and
posted it on another board I visit that has a LOT of visitors, so hopefully we'll get a lot more signatures. Thanks for posting this!

I signed yesterday! :) They say Jen cheated! LOL NMd

Hmmm, you signed nothing. Maybe they gave you this one

I just signed up for Verizon Freedom - sm
Unlimited LD. I told them when I signed up what I would be using it for and they told me that was not a problem at all. Is this the plan you had?

I have never signed a confidentiality notice that says
I can't mention what account I type on - I know they always say not to contact that place or try to get a job with them, etc., and I don't see the big deal either. I can't see why a company would care if someone knows what hospital you type for. I guess some places are just different, but seeing as how I assume she hasn't signed anything since she just accepted the job, I really don't see how they could not hire her because she mentioned that, not knowing that they didn't want her to. That's just my opinion though.
They stopped in 1989 and signed the

That is so true. A document that is signed
is read as having been approved by the signer of that document. We have no way of knowing whether the doctor reads the document or not. In the case of the digoxin dose mentioned above, even if an MT transcribes the wrong dosage (though one should be very careful not to), if the doctor read the note he/she should catch the error before signing his/her name.
Sheesh. Don't know why I signed "OP"

As far as creditors, once you signed up with the agency, they have sm
NO CHOICE but to work with the creditors and YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ACCEPT calls from them. There are plenty of laws on the books protecting people like you. You need to contact your agency ASAP and tell them which creditors are harrassing you (yes, that is what they are doing if you cannot afford to pay them), and quit talking to them. Trust me on this one. My husband and I years back got into a major bind and worked with a credit agency where we learned about a lot of laws.
So, we began writing our own cease and desist letters directing them to our agency or saying "we want to deal with the original creditor and not YOU", i.e., capital one, etc., and they left us alone. We cleared out debt and it's been pleasant ever since.
So, you have fallen upon rough times. We all have. You HAVE options. You can keep your house and you can have phone call-free days.
You are doing the RIGHT thing by using an agency instead of filing for bankruptcy. Too many people are filing because they see no end, but there are ways to avoid bankruptcy. Plenty of ways.
Good luck
Informed consent signed?
That there is funny, funny!!
I just signed up for WildBlue thru Directv- sm
There have been no complaints on the board with regards to them; I will know in a few days they come out Saturday to install it. Cannot wait; my modem has been acting nuts in this heat. I believe WildBlue is cheapter than HughesNet too - it was $249 for the equipment (think HughesNet is $600, or at least it used to be)-- got the $70 a month package (they have $50, 70 and 80 I think)--higher the price the faster the connection in theory. At the rate I am going anything would be better.
I only have dial-up---actually signed up for satellite - sm
a few weeks ago. They came out took one look and said send it back, no can do. I have too many trees, which I had asked about when ordering. They said never fear, they'd be able to do it. The installer said no way. Needless to say I was less than happy. Now I have to make sure I get my refund for the returned equipment. --my plan is to harrass the heck out of Verizon and see if I can get an answer from them when DSL will be here; it is 5 miles from here so I know it is coming but I have been waiting 9 years! Luckily my 1 job where it would be very helpful to have DSL does not care what you use; but financially I could double my income if I had DSL or satellite. Totally stinks.
I signed off a job on my C-phone and then accidentally
overwrote the file, still not sure how I did it. Anyway, I need to retrieve the report and retranscribe it. I know it can be done, just not sure how. Do I need to dial into a second phone number or can I use my regular phone number and use the keys to get it back.
I e-mailed my company around noon today and still haven't heard back from them, so hope someone where may be able to offer some help.
Any contract I've ever signed
has had the line rate in it, sometimes of the client's choosing, sometimes what I want. Companies will not negotiate a line rate as individual doctors do. I don't ever have a set schedule in the contract. It's all about what you agree to sign. If your line rate is in a contract, then unless your contract comes up for renewing every year or two, I doubt there will be any raise given if you do ask.
I signed it, and added my 2 cents, as well.
.
I have signed it and sent copies to my congressman and
senators. I also call the White House, my congressman and senator every single week and email them. The one guy who answers the phone at my congressman's office said to me to keep squeaking.
We all need to do the same. Talk to everyone, your MD, you neighbors, your friends, clergy, send emails to the Editor of every news agency you can think of.
Sometimes I feel like I am the only one doing this. I also feel like we have already lost the battle, though.
It makes me sick to think that big business is dictating everything down to our medical care and how that information is handled.
Well.... if you signed the contract with that statement in there and did not alter
it or draw a red flag to it before you signed, then you agreed to it and it may be legal.
Here is a clue for future - if there is any part of the contract you do not agree with, you change it and initial where you changed it. If the MTSO or company signs it with those changes, everything is fine. If they do not, then you don't work for them.
You should have signed a confidentiality agreement which allows you to type this unless-
you do not feel comfortable typing it, in which case I would ask my supe to reassign it.
