Apparently, one MT at MQ, who shall remain nameless, has it quite good at the Old Q. Just thought I'd share this with everyone on this board, so we all can see what we're missing out on. Do you think if we made similar demands to our PS's that they would be granted? Do tell, what is your secret nameless one?
FROM THE COMPANY BOARD: I've been working for MQ for 12 years now part-time doing all work types, so I can't really tell you about radiology. Honestly, other than having to type 3 different hospitals if my primary runs out, which is very rare, I would not still be with them if I didn't make very good money. I really don't understand why some people blame only MQ for their problems. Look around and you will see that there are many companies out there having a hard time making it these days. MQ, at this point, is the largest company and some people can't handle that and will always bad mouth them. Good Luck with your job search!
THIS NAMELESS MT GOES ON TO SAY: At this point.....I make top dollar at MQ. I am part-time and have been working for MQ over 16 years. The day they tell me I have to do ASR, I will quit, but until then I am satisfied with what I make per hour. Look around...there are layoffs everywhere and I am grateful for my job with MQ for now.
A LITTLE MORE FROM KATIE (OOPS!): Back when all the changes were being made, I was told I had to be trained on ASR, but it was cancelled. When ASR was introduced...I told myself that if I had to do it I would quit. I will not train a computer to do my job that took me years to learn. That is just the way I feel and I will stick to my plan if forced to do so. I guess everyone thought or thinks that if you don't learn ASR you will be without a job...not so. I have interviewed with other companies and I feel confident in saying that I will do fine without having to learn ASR. I must say, though, working for MQ has definitely taught me more than I think any other MT company out there could have. So, if I quit because of ASR, it really doesn't matter to me. I just have to remember that the past is the past and making $40.00 to $50.00 an hour is almost impossible to do anymore unless you have tons of good dictators with normals to go with them. I am just biding my time, because you never know :) |
