Sooo happy for you! I really wish all the MTs on here would suddenly realize how ridiculous MedQuist is, that they do not have to put up with the slave treatment and just run for their lives. When God shuts one door, He opens another.
Hey Trigger Happy - Former MT

Sooo happy for you. Every time I see someone "escape" I say a prayer for them, and for those remaining. I got out after Spheris was bought out after my 10 years in the MT field. My first, and only year with the Q was long enough. I saw how far in the toilet I was after the first pay cut. I went to PT, and accepted more hours from another PT employer..... watched, worked hard, made myself very useful, and was in the right place at the right time when they needed a FT employee.... and for more $$$$ PLUS commission. Don't give up, take a job(s) to get by, they are out here if your flexible, it's not permanent, it's a stepping stone. The Q is just plain evil.

I Finally Get It.... Mar 02, 2010After receiving the infamous "no jobs available" for the upteen time today, it finally hit me. What an amazing way to get rid of MTs without really having to get rid of them on your own. Drive the MTs insane with no work, yet keep them locked to their computers in the hope that a job might become available. It feels kinda like playing the lottery....you know it's a waste of money and time, but just maybe you might win...ughh. Why is it that our "professional" jo ...
Now I Finally Believe The End Is Near Jun 06, 2011I must admit I've been reading this board for years, never posted until now, partly due to the probably unsubstantiated paranoia going around awhile back that those who posted here got the ax first, silly I suppose, but I used to care about keeping this job and didn't want to take any chances. Now, finally, I understand that I am fighting a losing battle, and I know longer give ******. I've been reading about you guys with NJA for days on end, etc., etc., and I guess I ...
I Did It.....finally! Sm Jul 05, 2011I finally told MQ goodbye! I finally got another contract job and they needed me to start pretty much immediately, so I quit without notice. In a way I feel bad for resigning without a 2-week notice, but I figure MQ would not give me a 2-week notice if they were letting me go. I wish all my MQ co-workers well and I hope you find happiness either with MQ or elsewhere. God bless you all! ...
Finally!! Jun 15, 2012Never thought this day would get here, but I'm finally gone!! I feel such peace just to know that I won't have to stress anymore about everthing this industry has become: Horrible dictators, low pay, off-shoring, and VR. Bless everyone who is sticking it out until the very end. ...
I'm Finally Out! Dec 01, 2012Finally out. I start a new job in-house on December 10 in a medical office. Not MT, just answering some phones and setting up appointments. And I get to wear scrubs. I guess in the morning I'll be taking off one pair of pajamas and putting on another. Don't lose hope friends.... ...
Finally, I Got A Better Job! Dec 20, 2012I can't tell you how happy I am. I was literally dancing around the house. DS thought I was out of my mind, and I kind of was. I have been trying to get out from under this oppressive company for a long time now, and I finally have. I wish everyone a happy holiday. I'm happy to say I won't be posting here anymore. I've moved on and I'm not looking back. Best of luck to everyone who is in the same position I was this time yesterday. &nb ...
Well I Finally Did It! Jan 23, 2013I finally went ahead and filed for partial U/E. I know I'm not in as bad of a situation as many I read on this board but I just can't live like this anymore. It's bad enough that our pay has been to sharply cut with VR but now when they don't give us any work to do it's worse. It humiliated me at my age to have to do this for the first time in my life at 59 years of age but I did it. ...
FINALLY OUT!!! Feb 11, 2013Friday is my last day transcribing at a company that is about to lay off 10-25 people! Unforunately that company lost its biggest account, but fortunately my last 6 months of hard word has paid off and starting a new career alltogether with the local county! I will continue to pray for you that you find work to be satisfied with and compensated accordingly. I have typed for 15 years and it is hard to say goodbye considering it brought me through many hard times raising my two o ...
Finally Got Out Of MT Jan 01, 2014I just wanted really to say for those of you still hanging on, worried about work in the outside world, I finally got out about 3 months ago and I haven't been this happy in YEARS and to be exact in the last 12 years that I was an MT. Working as an MT, I don't think I ever felt good enough, because I would be torn apart due to missing a comma or not being able to understand a term well enough to find it. I was so stressed about money all of the time and even dreaded holiday ...

FINALLY!!!! A Job Oct 10, 2014I have been watching the boards for so many months. I was laid off almost a year ago and sent "oodles" upon "oodles" of resumes to every company I saw on this board, the other board, the job servers...You name it, I sent it. I even did Craig's list. Some were kind enough to respond, some did not bother. But I still plugged away. My unemployment ran out in July and thank God we have been making do. I answered an ad on Craig's list for something out of t ...
I Am Finally Out!! =) Feb 20, 2015I am finally no longer a medical transcriptionist! No more stress!! No more crappy shifts, crappy dictators, crappy PMs!! No more accounts specs! No more anything! I read on here all the time how people say you can do it! you can get out of the field and find something else but I never believed it! Now I am! I accepted a job with an answering service making good money, benefits, PTO, 401 my own hours and I can do it from home! so ya it can be done people!! ...

Free At Last!!! Oct 25, 2009After working for MQ for nearly 5-1/2 years, I'm finally leaving. The first 5 years were great! Then they decided to force QAs to do transcription and ASR. If I wanted to transcribe I would have applied for an MT job. Not to mention the fact that I was making close to $16 an hour and now this has been reduce to around $11 and sometimes under $8. It's MQs loss. It's too bad they don't treat their valuable employees better. I just love ...
Free At Last! Nov 11, 2009I'm giving notice that I'm quitting very soon! I made good money until the last year or so and I'm leaving this job that I find boring and lonely (and now doesn't even pay well). I'm going to be working for a doctor as a scribe and getting paid per hour! Woo-hoo!! The pay is not great but at least I will be out of the house and doing something a little different. I will have human interaction too! I'm burnt out beyond belief, ...
Im Free May 04, 2010You know I am no longer with MQ. I did not pass the audit and honestly I really did not care to. I have figured out why bother. Why kill myself for short checks. I have worked with them for 12 years and I feel so free right now.
I also am working for another company on the side so that helps :)

Free At Last Also! Dec 04, 2012Judging from some of the recent posts below, there looks to be an exodus of sorts from MModal and MT in general. I have joined that group.
I left MModal last month to pursue another at-home job NOT IN MT with flexible schedule, hourly pay, and pays substantially more than what I made at MModal. Don't know what took me so long to "take the plunge" away from MT. After many years of MT with 12 of those years being with Medquist/MModal and the last 7 on the same accounts, I already miss the wo ...
Free At Last ... Dec 08, 2013FINALLY! I have finally managed to get out of MT permanently. I'll have to drive 30 minutes each way to work, but I will have the same shift I had working at home only for a guaranteed hourly wage! What an amazing Christmas present!
Good luck to all of you who are trying to escape. ...

I Did It! I Finally Did It! Saying Goodbye To MT! (sm) Oct 22, 2009I was notified today that I have been chosen for a job with the local hospital - not doing transcription. I finally get to say goodbye to no vacation, no sick pay, working 24/7, no pay increase, no recognition for a job well done, having to worry about my own taxes, and just everything that goes along with it, like the lying and back-stabbing from managers *** and owners ***, and having to deal with QA who says they follow BOS, but then makes things up as they go.
Its an 8 to 5 job ...
They Finally Noticed Apr 29, 2010My CCM finally called and left a message saying I hadn't been logging on and she would have to process termination if I didn't get in touch with her. "A phone call would be nice," I think is how she worded it.
I didn't call her back. I just sent her an email and told her to go right ahead and process termination, that I didn't call because I didn't feel that the Q deserved the courtesy of a call when they treat their MTs like trash.
So I am officially free. ...
MQ Has Finally Broken Me... Sep 01, 2010I was actually reduced to tears today with the bullying and threats from people of various departments. Support acts as though we are stupid and below their level and the shipping department basically called me a liar, but in a nice way after their nastiness. Due to my age, it will be hard finding a job but at this point, I will sweep floors rather than put up with those with big heads because of a meaningless title. Then again, on second thought.....I am not leaving without a ...

Getting Out Of MT Altogether Finally Sep 14, 2011I am finally tired of all the hoops you have to jump through to get a job only to find out your PC is incompatible anyway.

I am just so tired of it. I just have to find something else..... ...
