Guess what, another incentive, oh boy!! - Just Sayin

Posted: Oct 23, 2009

This is getting to be a regular thing. Barely enough work to go around in my BOB as it is!

I wish I'd get some info on the incentives. I never get anything on them. I keep telling my CCM but nothing changes. I wish I knew what my target line count was so I could at least have a heads up to what total I'm shooting for.

I have had zero work T, W and T, but now that it's Friday I have work. I'll have work tomorrow, too. I can't work 40 hours on the weekend, though. The Indians apparently don't work on weekends. I laugh when I see this incentive every weekend.

Are you checking your e-mail on MQ Centeral? That is where notifications regarding incentives will be & it is individualized for each person.

Incentive - No incentives for stolen lines

[ In Reply To ..]
Oh, we have plenty of work where I am. What I found hysterical about the whole thing is that MQ is ripping off so many people's lines that almost nobody can even make the incentive. And believe me - it's not just on this board that I've seen the line issue. It's all over the place. I guess I'll be spending Sunday updating my resume. I hate to leave. Up until this point, I have really liked working for the Q. Every employer has their issues but I have enjoyed my time here. I really do not want to go but I will not do work and then let them steal it.

I'd hate to lose my massive word expander file. I have it on a flash, so I wonder if it would be compatible with an MS Word-based program.

Expander file - outta here

In my job search, I found that a lot of programs are compatible with MQs expander files. It's definitely worth asking before you go elsewhere.

I so agree with you about our being ripped off. What's to stop them? They did it before and were slapped on the hand. They cheated their clients, so would they really stop at cheating their MTs (again)???

Yes, MQ's expander file is compatible with word. I just accepted an offer from another company. They say if I can save it in a text file, they can install it for me in my new program. Anyone know how to save it in a txt file? TIA!

Congratulations on getting out of here - Worker Bee

I failed another interview yesterday, and I'm not going to do anymore interviews. When they start asking stuff like, how does your experience as a medical transcriptionist translate to this particular job, I'm stumped. Among other questions. I have started building some other skills (like Excel), but I always end up looking like a complete idiot. So I'm just gonna stick with MT until it goes away and then I'll go to the unemployment office and mayb ...

exceed the submission rate. That will stop once the client starts reading the reports and sees all the errors. Seems like it would invalidate their contract with MQ. Maybe we should stop sending reports to QA, just guess at everything. Our defense would be that we were forced to do this. ...

Am I overly concerned or do you think I may have a point? I think the Word Help Board is invaluable and have always helped whenever I 100% knew the correct spelling. But as I have been reading the questions, there seem to be more and more drug questions from drug lists, which means no point of reference. There are also a few “allergic to: sounds like” questions. When I first started working as a Medical Transcriptionist, QA was always: “Leave a b ...

I give up. I've submitted so many resumes and applications that my head is spinning. I can't help it that my experience is more than two years ago. The doctor died and the practice split up! I live in a small town where outsourcing is unheard of and the MTs work at a place until they die. I passed my typing test and editing test with All-Type, had my interview, discussed contract terms, and the woman said she would send the contract out. But she ...

Now that we can be dinged for leaving a blank that QA thinks we should have known, my % score has gone to the dogs (my apologies to all canines). When I get a mush-mouth or a really gnarly ESL, there are circumstances where I have no choice but to leave a blank. I'm not talking about stuff that could be looked up. Sometimes the blank in question can be interpreted as either one word or other other and either choice doesn't change the meaning. But I can gu ...

Remember an earlier poster said they had heard that supposedly there was going to be "big news" in October or some such that would help MTs make better production or more money somehow? Some folks were leery, hypothesizing that any change at Nuance usually means bad news for MTs. This came to me in the middle of the night last night so it is likely off the wall. But, I think everyone will be required to clock in and out each time they leave the keyboard for any reason. In other words, no ...

I put downtime for the entire time, because I get paid by lines not by sitting at a blank computer screen waiting for work. I got a message saying that there was issues, but usually after a few minutes a job would come through. Did you check back in every 5 minutes. Again, I do not get paid for that. Why should I have to lose pay and or make up time, because their system did not work? How did some of you submit your time? Now I have to waste time explaining myself. ...
