Feeling out of loop. - anon

Posted: Jan 07, 2010

I am just thankful for this site. If it weren't for it I wouldn't have a clue what is going on ever! I haven't heard or received any type of email from my CCM? (if that is what they are still called) in over a month. Then today I find out I've been moved. I get on here and hear about all these things going on and I never had a clue. Any time something doesn't seem right like Kaspersky or not being able to log into system, this is the first place I go to find out if what is going on and I usually get my answer. Thanks.

I come to this site first also. - Dinosaur

Last week there was talk on this board about the merger, and since I didn't hear anything about it from any level of management, I thought it would not effect me.

Monday morning I had NJA well into my shift, I come to this board and the poster Just Sayin was the one who told me my company number was no longer any good. She saved me 2 hours of additional down time. I was very grateful to her. I had to get the new company number and directions for expansions from a friend to get set up.

I heard via email from management about the region merger about an hour after I was already up and running.

I know how you feel. - gone from the Q

I know exactly what you mean. When I first started in 2004 with MQ, I rarely if ever heard from my PS unless something got lost and needed re-sent, etc. Then they got rid of the statutory and I got a new PS and only knew her name. I came on here and that is the only way I found out about Etime and some of the other new changes that were coming. I finally got an email from WFC (can you tell I left awhile ago?) and she apologized for not including me in all the emails. Still a lonely feeling.

I was in the exact boat you were in today with not a word from anyone and then moved. And then when my clock was not there in Teamworks, I got right on this site and others had the same problem. I still can not clock in and out, by the way. Even went into DocQscribe as suggested by someone. Thanks for posting everyone!!!

My boss keeps telling us corporate says we are not producing enough for the number of employees we have, but we have been producing. Every other week, she will call and say increase production. I have been with the company for 11 years. I have a feeling we are going to be bought out. I am thinking about looking for a new job? I need a backup plan. Sad to see that MT is all about the big wigs making money off the little guy. ...

Took a test for a city job and just got notice that I did not pass. I was on of over 300 people who took the test. Happy for those that passed but wish I would have been one of them. I believe I bombed in the math calculations. Boy is it ever a kick in the pants with regard to self-esteem to know that I cannot even pass a simple test. What can an old timer like me do when all I ever have done is transcription? Feelling about as low as possible right now. ...

They were constant and unrelenting, No relief. I took to gas pills, wated a littlle while, took 2 more, pain getting worse. I had 3 ways of describning the pain: 1.

I just wanted to thank those who shared that have been with this company for more than 10 years. I have really been feeling unloved by MQ lately. There have been a lot of changes since I've been here, and I've only been here since early 2006. Been worried also lately about being let go or being laid off. I don't know, you just gave me some hope somehow and I wanted to thank you all for that. I guess my job isn't that bad after all. And we d ...

Hi, I have recently graduated from an MT program and have been spending a lot of time on this forum. It has made me think that I may have made a huge mistake. I understand that times are hard, but does anyone have any good advice? I just have been getting discouraged so much lately. I have two young children and want to be able to stay home and help my husband to take care of our family. He already works two jobs as it is (in the health care field) and we just want to get ahead. Did I make a mis ...

Looking at an ad that says "Required skills are transcribing 1000 HIM lines (65 character lines) or 2000 MI lines per day." Is there anyone who can translate HIM and MI for me? Pretty sure HIM is standard transcription and thinking MI is somehow related to VR, but I guess I'm just too old school to understand new acronyms! ...

One day the company loves, you the next, they're exacting punishment to make you feel like you can't do your job. I am sure some of you have felt this way and have even been the victims of attempts to bring in other MTs to replace you. That's exactly how I felt today when I got an email today. I thought the manager was a bit harsh, rather than just giving a warning like the email said for the first time the error is made. How do you deal with this? I wish a lot of the times I coul ...

Just quit this company. Initially had to fax my personal information numerous times because they lost it repeatedly, etc. Only allowed to type 10 reports per day on QA, unable to get off QA, QA editors never able to agree on policies and procedures. Also required to research dozens/hundreds of previous reports (no search engine available) to find information (QA stated they will not fill in blanks), which is frequently incorrect; not even making minimum wage at first. Even their docs are bit ...

Good morning, everyone. I know a few of you followed the last couple times I posted about how I had gotten a new job with a reputable company and they would not let me off full QA and how I was getting only three reports a day. I then posted the news was better on Friday because I was let off QA and given two more accounts. This morning I am feeling pretty low. I now have a total of four accounts and no work in any of them. I was hired as an IC and told I would have steady work and that I ...

Okay, so an email came out this week from TL saying that the company wants as much work done in our accounts as possible before July 1 and expect to work overtime all weekend. I have been at Nuance for almost 4 years now and this is NOT the norm...Additionally, this morning when account stats were sent out showing where the work was and how many MTs were working a new metric had been added to the chart in the MT category -- GP. At the bottom this said GP = global partner. They ...

Friend of mine still works in-house at a hospital. They have two employees out on long-term sick leave and are falling behind so the supervisor has gone with a company called iMEDX to do some transcription on the "weekends." She asked if I had heard of this company since I worked for MTSOs for years, and when I checked them out, I find that at three of the top administrative people are from CBAY/MQ. She needs to be worried, right? My heart just broke for her when I read this. Their ...

Now that my last week is upon me, I feel guilty for getting out of the field I went to school for.

I'm sure it will pass, but has anyone else who got out had this feeling? ...
