I want to find a different company, but my fear is that MQ will only swallow that company - Kiki


Posted: Jul 15, 2011

up and I'd be back at square one, making no more than their "maximums."  I wonder, are this new maximum pay going to stay the same (or lower)?  I mean, in 5 or 10 years (if we are still here) will it be the same?  Or less?  I think so.

That's the main reason - I stay

And, I'm willing to bet if MQ did swallow up that company, you wouldn't be offered the maximum, so you would be out that too. Until I find a company that will pay me more than MQ's maximum, plus give me a computer, and better benefits, I'm staying put. Of course, all bets are off if they lower the rate again in the next year.

I don't think it gets better than the Q, so I'm looking for a job out of transcription - cuz Q is no good either

That's fear most of us have, I'm afraid. What - a shame it has to be that way! -nm

I have a feeling - hourly pay

[ In Reply To ..]
the only thing MQ has left is to pay us by the hour, minimum wage, that is.

At this point, I would take - it. :(

I know what you mean, just took a job where M*Modal is the platform - Will MQ be swallowing up the MTSOs who use it now?

[ In Reply To ..]
Now that they've purchased M*Modal, I cannot help but wonder if MQ will simply charge an outlandish amount of money for these MTSOs to use the platform of if they have in mind to simply one at a time buy out every company using M*Modal. I'm sure they're staying up nights crunching numbers to see which nets them the fattet bottom line.

Wondering If There Is A Way To Find Out If A Company
Oct 03, 2014

I had to report an IC MT position to unemployment as a part-time job and income.    I got the unemployment from a prior employee local job.   I never worked for this MTSO until a few months after the unemployment was issued, and it was strictly IC MT. I strongly suspect I was terminated because I may have caused this MTSO to have to pay taxes and possibly penalties.   Is there any way to find out whether the MTSO got hit on this?   Would I call the local ...

We are a pretty big company, and we think we know what transcriptionists want, but it doesn't hurt to ask.  There are a lot of top people in our industry that are finding themselves without jobs, often without notice, both managers and transcriptionists.  I think that the tide is turning, and that we need to make sure that we treat our people right, so if you could take a few minutes and answer this, maybe we can make a difference.  I am asking for real answers, ones that ar ...

Looking For A Company With No ASR And All USA

I have over 30 years in this field and it seems that a lot of companies are either cutting the MT's pay to edit on ASR and/or are offshoring work out to India, Pakistan, Philippines, etc.  I don't believe in sending our jobs overseas, and I've also given ASR at whirl (a long whirl lol) and I still couldn't increase my lines per hour to compensate for the cut in pay that I had to take by doing ASR.  So what I'm looking for is a company that does not do ASR, do ...

I will begin my job search in a few short months after graduating from M-Tec.

What would you consider a "red-flag" that would make you turn away from a company? No this isn't a school assignment or anything ...

Would you be able to perform at that level?  I'm sure there are some of you that say you consistently produce 100% quality and at least 400 lines an hour.  I'm not talking to you.  How about the regular MTs out there?  Are there any companies that require this?  Is it even attainable with the subjective nature of this job?  How about if all of your accounts are ESLs and your pay gets docked if you send more than 1 document a day to the QA department?  ...
