full time position with mq - shabby

Posted: Nov 22, 2011

I was wondering if anyone had any advise on moving from a hosp position to mq. 9 cents a line, can I make money there and is there enough work?? Is the QA bad?? cut in pay if qa is over 5%?? any advise, please??

You will hardly EVER see work routed to you at the $0.09 a line rate - "maybe" 50 lines a day during an 8-hour day? That work barely exists anymore.

And yes, you are dinged if your QA goes above 5%.

I've been with MQ for 14 years so I say this as a long-timer: MQ is horrible - they will promise you the world and deliver NONE of it. Find another company ... you will thank me later.

seriously? - not4mg

they promise the moon and deliver NOTHING.

Read the archives. Read what MQ employess say. They were making 20 and hour and are now down to minimum wage because they SEND ALL THEIR WORK TO INDIA..................................
THis is not an American Company. PERIOD.
I was sold before, bought into the happy crap they spewed, seniority, samd account, good benefits, blah blah blah.
IT IS A LIE...... If you have a good job. KEEP IT .. cuz it probably won't be around for long with MQ sucking the life out of this profession. IMO

MQ is not to blame for the state of entire profession. - Historian

GLOBALIZATION is to blame. American politicians selling us out, signing so-called "free-trade" agreements are the root cause of this.

MedQuist is just a company operating within the milieu that the government created. If it weren't MedQuist it would be some other company.

MQ and AHDI are the two biggest supporters of globalization going. They both have US workers' blood on their dirty little paws.

I didn't say they weren't complicit. - Historian

Hi Bill,

Please reread what I wrote.

The GOVERNMENT has created the milieu. The COMPANIES are operating within -- and taking advantage of -- the milieu that the GOVERNMENT created.

If the GOVERNMENT wanted this stopped tomorrow, they could do it.

I never said that MedQ wasn't pro globalization; of course they are, as it helps their bottom line and it is a Soros-owned company. I said that they are not solely to blame for the decline/demise of our entire profession/industry. That is a FACT.

If anyone knows of a hospital, clinic, or large practice offering remote full-time or part-time employee positions, I would really appreciate an email. I have the sudden need to help support a family member long term (in addition to myself) and really need to find a long-term remote employee position for the stability. Yes, I watch all the various employment sites and even individual hospital sites, but I was hoping that maybe, just maybe someone who works for a hospital that does th ...

I worked for MQ full time and then went to part time last year, before finally quitting altogether because of health problems. I seem to remember an obscure policy that if you were full time and then went to part time, you could not go back to full time for a period of at least 1 year. Can anyone verify that for me? IF, and this is a big IF, I were to go back to work for MQ, I would need to be full time. ...

Does anyone care to share that if you are hired at optiscript part time will they let you change to full time easily? I know they are a small company and do not over hire so I do not know how easily this could be done. I am thinking of cutting down to part time at my current employee so I can work part time elsewhere and eventually just leave my current employee once I see how the land lays elsewhere. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated :) ...

I see the post about going from full to part time, but what about the opposite? For example, if I get hired at 30 hours per week and I have extra time available for a few weeks, can I consistently work more hours than those scheduled 30 hours? Thanks for any insight you can give. ...

I am still debating whether to enroll at Andrews or M-TEC. My husband is retiring in 2 years and I want to be able to work part-time after that. Is it realistic to think that I can complete the course at Andrews or M-TEC in 12 months at the most, work full time for a year and then part-time after that. I would want to be able to work from home. I guess the other question is "How long after graduating could I expect to earn enough to make it worth the investment, in a reas ...

I hired on at full time but want to drop 2 hours off a day. Do they make you change shift or accounts in that case? I don't want benefits so don't care about that. I worked at Nuance and any change in schedule ultimately ended up in an account and/or shift change. TIA ...

For those who went full time to part-time with MQ (because you got another job)...how did that work? Did they approve the schedule you wanted, or did they make you take a schedule? My CCM told me in my area there is no more flexible part-time available but could do regular 24 hour part-time...she said she would have to approve my schedule if and when I do this. I may be doing two part-time jobs to start and I am trying to figure out how to do my scheduling around both jobs. Does a ...

Can anybody tell me how they decided when it was time to start looking for a new MT position? I mean really, they all seem to be bad but how do you know that what you already have won't be the lesser of 2 evils? How do you know they won't treat you worse and you make even less pay with a different company? I guess its the old fear of the unknown. I am sick of my job but experience has taught me that it probably would be worse somewhere else. I haven't seen it go the other ...

It seems to me that full-time IC is a contradiction. I mean, in order to really be an IC, per IRS, don't they indicate that you should have more than one client? So, if one client requires full-time, that means you have to work more than full-time in order to keep everyone happy? Yeah, I know, there's no way to fight it, because there will always be hungry MTs anxious to fill the full-time IC positions. In a perfect world, in my opinion, no MT would be required ...
