What a disappointment this MDI/Transcend merger has been and what an eye-opener. It truly is all about corporate greed. Your ambition to be #1 so that you can be bigger than Medquist is an all-consuming obsession that has resulted in your making drastic changes that will surely affect your reputation for quality down the road. You are forcing high-paid MTs out of their positions to replace them with your overseas people and newbies who will work for less – but at what cost? QUALITY. That should be a priceless commodity. Don't you realize that some of us are paid extremely well because of our expertise? Have you ever heard the phrase "You get what you pay for?" Do you think someone could replace YOU in your hierarchy position at a much lower salary? Have you even considered that possibility and what it could do to your family if you have to take a pay cut or lose your position in this economy? Of course not…it's all about money and bonuses for yourselves. We former MDIer's heard all sorts of untruths about what this merger would bring – all it brought was cut after cut after cut and an abundance of emails from team leaders lamenting about things in the red….work more….stretch…where is everyone type of emails…. I finally cut my ties with you last week and feel like I have freedom again. Yes, the position I took does pay less, but the peace of mind and lack of stress is worth much more. Just remember, you reap what you sow. Maybe The Q will buy YOU out at some point and all these realities will hit home. If only…This is just my opinion but I'm sticking to it. J
