Craig's List is where I found a computer. Dell. Older model. 30 gigs memory. Got it for $125. Have to upgrade the RAM, that's another $50 (E-Bay). Probably will have to end up getting a word expander.
I took the test for another job on the new computer the other day. I got the call I'm hired today. Start in a couple of weeks. I haven't given my notice yet, but will soon. Gonna plug this new 1 gigibit of RAM into the machine so I know it's going to work, and then happy day. I don't expect Medquist to react or ask why. I think they're so out of touch, reaction from the clueless is not to be expected. Since my pay has been cut by the ASR (which is a joke), it's a lateral move. But with Medquist's management style, it's a no brainer. The fact is, Medquist just is not competitive any more.
And I represent significant company assets. I'm trained across the board, Basic 4, radiology, every single specialty, and I know what the doctors are trying to say even when they mispronounce it or spell it wrong. I change their left back to right when that's what it supposed to be. I'm a one MT microcosm of their whole work force, and I will tell you Medquist, you are heading down the tubes, and you don't have a clue. You're more interested in enforcing time clock rules and guard dogging your computer which is in my home and uses my internet at my expense, and I'm going to be so glad to be rid of you.
So, if it's a financial problem, check Craig's List. There are good computers there for next to nothing. And there are a lot of fine companies that will treat you better, less like a number, who know you have knowledge, and just because part of your job involves typing, they know you're more than a typist.
I pity the poor Medquist investors. But on the other hand, they could have read the posts here and seen the writing on the wall. |
