Can any long time "Keystrokers" answer a question - Do you get raises? If so, how often?

from Qcare. I haven't been able to log into MQ central or get my e-mail for over 2 days already. I thought they were supposed to answer in 24 hours?! ...

Hey All - I did the online tests yesterday, skills and practicum of four reports. How long does it generally take to hear back from a recruiter on how you did, or get that dreaded failure email? I have 19 years of experience, including 3 years of working on a Nuance platform (EEE) and yet I'm still nervous. Just curious if anyone has recent experience with the timeline. Thanks in advance! ...

Right now it is approaching 4 p.m. Eastern time. If my postaudit score is reading 99.7% right now, does that mean I'm safe and don't have to submit feedback for reversals, or do I need to check FIESA again at 4:59 p.m. to make sure I'm okay? Are they going to be that picky? ...

I do not know what I can mention here, but was the HR person’s first name who was let go start with a K? I ask because I replied to their job posting that stated they were rolling back the clock and needed to hire 40 MTs. I sent in my resume in response to the pediatrics account because a while back, I was an MT at a children’s hospital in a very large city. I stated I knew my skills were old but that I was submitting my resume anyway for their consideration. ...

Remember when we worked as MTs and didn't have QAs? Boy those were the days! Anyone else remember that? Remember when we were good, trusted, common sense mattered, we made our own judgment calls, did our job and supervisors liked us? Wow all was wonderful with the world back then. Okay going back to my current reality now...... ...

Remember the good old days when we had our own accounts and only signed with a service as "filler?" This is the third time that I have committed to working full time, signed the "Agreement" that yes, I will work for you full time hours, only to end up with under 20 hours for the month, or better yet sitting and waiting and waiting to start with now no full-time income coming in because I have committed to them to full time! Has anyone ever tried to be compensated for that time? If ...

I've been with Medquist forEVER but I've been consistently losing income for the past 3 years. Last month, I was forced to go on governmental assistance just to keep a roof over my and my son's heads because of my lack of income with Medquist. This year I may just barely make $10,000. I have been with this company through thick and thin. I have seen thousands of changes, and been through several dozen supervisors. I am a WAY dedicated employee, p ...

I've been an MT for 15 years and work full time, 40 hours a week. Lately, I have been SO restless and bored to death with my job! I'm married and have no kids--when my husband gets home from work, he is glad to be here; meanwhile, by mid week, I'm about to go stark raving mad due to being at home so much! Now I'm not new at this, as I said. I have also been in QA, which I enjoyed much more, but the pay was so dire that I went back to transcribing. ...

So if someone has been an MT for 10 years and then moves onto coding, does that make them more valuable to employers? Also do you recommend the Andrews School over the rest? I am pretty sure I am going to do this but am wondering if I should sit in college class and do all of this or go with the Andrews School. Is there really a PLUS to taking the classes on campus in a classroom setting? Thanks! ...

Is anyone having problems with DQS taking a LONG time to download dictations? This is ridiculous! ...

I see one page of posts, doesn't seem to go to a page 2, and so on. Company board goes from today at 4 p.m., to the 14th of Dec and no option of a 2nd page. Does the board now automatically archive after a page is full? Thanks. ...

I am doing some thinking about what is important to me. I have been looking at jobs on Indeed.com and found 2 coding jobs that I might qualify for down the line, but they both involve a 1-1/2 hour commute via public transportation each way. So that's 3 hours a day getting there and back. After working at home more than 10 years, that idea seems very daunting to me. I could look for work closer to home, but the pay would be considerably less doing outpatient coding for a dr's office ...

After 50 years as an MT I am now only doing SR from hom ...

Ever wonder what is going on with the work? Lots of it one day, none the next? You get no answers from anyone on your account? What are you supposed to do? I've about had it. ...

I've been working for almost two weeks now for a company and have sent QA several messages concerning questions about appropriate ways they want the reports done as well as dangerous abbreviations (I did not use them at my last job.) I cannot get an answer and it just bugs me badly. ...

No one answers my emails when I ask why my accounts have no work. It's been going on for a very long time, but so much worse now. I thought a new account was going ot start, but I haven't heard a word about it. Is something going on that I don't know about? I realize they were going to be switching to more SR and MTs weren't all that happy about it (my own pay will be 1.5 CPL lower and only 4CPL for SR work), but what happened?I absolutely hate coming to a r ...

Now Plllleeeeasssse moderator, don't move this to some other forum. I really do need for a MedQuist QA person to answer this question.... My original blurb was placed on here, and it was moved to the Word Board. I got answers from others who do NOT use ASR platform of MQs. I realize BOS2 says the number, and that is what I have been doing for about a year now. Here is the headache that we MQ employees endure. ASR seems to do whatever it wants and does NOT follow rul ...

How come when I had to F11 a job today (first time in 6 months), I was still paid for ASR rate, even though I typed it? Is this because of all of the people "claiming to do an F11 day," thereby screwing the rest of us??? ...

as it will be moved to the tech board where it belongs, but it doesn't have email options. I really would like someone to let me email them with a screenshot of the Chartnet I am working on. I have permission from my TL. We are switching over to Chartnet and I just hate it. I have read where everyone loves it but something is different with what I am working on. Early on, someone suggested it was set up in M-Modal version which is not as user friendly, but all ...

Who's minding the store? Because there certainly doesn't seem to be anyone there - despite the fact that the RTL is supposed to be on duty for another hour and a half. Trouble with my que on the weekend has been going on every since the last maintenance. Wonder if the two are connected or coincidence. ...

I was acquired 1 yr ago. I had 4 years service with previous company, and was told we brought that with us, so I assume now I have 5 years service, right? At the time, there was a schedule of PTO hours earned per years of service, I think it was about 3 weeks if you had 5 years. I do not see that anymore. Does that mean everyone only earns 4.62 hours of PTO per pay period no matter how long they have been employed? Also, regarding the "time off without pay." If I h ...

Can any long time "Keystrokers" answer a question - Do you get raises? If so, how often?
