caught off gaurd

I started with a new company about 40 days ago - I trained on one account for about three days and the was given two docs to do with really no training only a manual.   I have been doing them for about 35 days.  My first QA score about ten days or so after the start of these docs was 96%,  my second on 5/20 was 98%.  I really have not gotten any negative feed back other than some format issues which were worked out quickly.  I have been meeting my TAT, proofing and covering what they asked.  There has not been any complaint that has been brought to my attention that I can pinpiont.  This past weekend, I got sent a whole bunch of work to help cover someone on vacation, my work was pushed back by my QA and supervisor.   Needless to say my accounts were not very happy and were not told in advance.  This evening I get a call from the supervisor saying that due to a call from the docs office about poor TAT and quality she was removing me from the account.  I have an email this same supervisor sent me from the docs office dated June 5 saying the account was finally looking up.   I asked the supervisor to pinpoint the issues but she was not able to at this time and told me to hold tight until she gets some more info.   I don't know what to think. Any opinions or suggestions???

In some offices you continually run out of work - and MQ gives you

no policy in writing as to what your rights are or what they will

provide in the way of "buffer".  All they do is say "we can give you more

accounts".

Well, sitting in front of a computer 24 hours a day and still not finding

enough work on dozens of accounts is not being a good business

person.

Having an account or else built in protection for times when there is no work

is BEING A GOOD BUSINESS PERSON.

Even if you are an employee, and there is no work, suddenly you find you

are RESPONSIBLE for the huge medical insurance bill - for several pay periods "because you didn't meet your line requirement"

I'm telling you, this company needs to either standardize it's politicies and

be up front with what they do, or forever go through the system as being

utterly slippery and underhanded, and deserve the reputation they so

deservedly have right now.  Of course they have their own agenda and could

care less about posters like me who have been through the drill until I was ground

down into the ground and broke, because they are "using" MTs to position themselves into the world of VR.  And it will have been done on the backs

of many MTs who lost it all thinking at some point MQ would finally "do right"

They haven't and probably will never.

So my advice is, if you can't get some policies in writing from whereever possible

(New Jersey just flips you off, so don't waste your time there), don't invest too

much in this company as you will be at their mercy and feel like you are never on solid ground financially.  It is not a company to work for if you need the

money for a living.  It is merely to pick up pocket change.

I didn't see anything offensive that should generate such a stink.  My BIGGEST gripe is with people who come out hating something, expressing an opinion about something they have never even SEEN!

The little bit I saw, it looked like a man dealing with "normal" family situations -- let's face it, it is not unusual nowadays to have a gay son, or become addicted to prescription meds, etc. -- ministers are not immune.   I am a Christian and love the Lord, and I was not offended by anything on the show.  And even if I was, it is not my place to tell others what they can and cannot watch.  We all get to "vote" with the flick of a channel.

actually dictating in a hospital and heard him say at the end to scratch all that and started over! He felt so bad for the poor MT who would be doing him. He also was an extremely slow dictator, so it probably took her forever! He's also heard some fast dictators and would let them know after they finished that someone has to actually transcribe that. Go hubby!

when I'm just too pooped to type everyone gets "prepped and raped in a sterile fashion" (that one I already got on autocorrect just in case!

I know more women who cheat than the other way around, and the difference is that no one knows about it unless THEY tell them.
