HUH MQ hiring? - Former MT

Posted: Sep 05, 2011

WTF is going on? I am no longer an MT, but I still care about a lot of people who are still TRYING to work at the Q. Just popped over to mtjobs and the Q has an ad on there for MTs wishing to embark on a world class....etc. It's unacceptable that the Q doesn't let anyone know what is going on at the MT level, starve out all the experienced ones they "acquired," then offshore to Inida and hire a bunch of newbies. I don't have any idea what sort of game they are playing with people's lives, but I am so thankful I had the opportunity to move on a few weeks back. This company is crooked, uncaring, dishonest, and downright evil, and those are their good points!!! So sad for the all the dedicated MTs who simply want to do what they love and are good at, while earning a liveable/fair wage for these skills. This is all just so wrong!!! There HAS to be a way to get the word out nationally!! I feel like calling my old account I was assigned to for 10+ years, and asking if they KNOW what is going on. I won't, but the thought has crossed my evil little mind more than once!!

interesting, this is even staying on this site - for me to read.

Also banned - trying to help someone.

I think you should do it. Call them. What - can MQ do about it, & who will know?

When I'm out of MT, I plan to blow the whistle big time.

I'm also a former Edix/TotalEmed/Spheris/MQ employee and was fired after 9 years--8 on my original primary, transferred to a supe, who treated me like an interloper the entire 9 or so months I was on her team. Those 9 months were totally arid in terms of jobs. I had already had 14 supes and in those months had another 3 or 4. Spheris/MQ lost the second account they put me on--they lost it after a month! I'm sure MQ is dancing in the streets with Bachmann's proposal to have US minimum wage brought into line with our foreign competitors. My evil little mind has entertained the same thoughts. It was a teaching hospital, so likely as not, they wouldn't have been willing to provide the talent, equipment or benefits to bring all of the work in house.

When I had my own service, I was backing up a 300-400 bed hospital because they needed help, so it's hard to believe a tertiary care center wouldn't need to oursource some work.

We knew Edix was outsourcing some work to India 10 years ago, but they kept their "covenant" (of sorts) with the MTs they had. Edix didn't lose the account, IMO; they just didn't want to become part of the service's later quagmires.

Maybe that's the whole idea--keeping us so separated that any kind of collective bargaining becomes an impossibility because of the diversity of the workers and inability to form any kind of united front. I saw this happen when my ex-husband worked for Cumberland Farms--no store manager was allowed to know who managed other stores or knew whom to communicate with other than the section manager, who was supposed to be the liaison. Supes don't care--they're just trying to keep their jobs too and the H with us grunts.

Am I bitter? You bet. After 40+ years in the profession and 9 years with "the company, I'm having a hard time finding work because NOBODY is using the Spheris SR platform that Steve S. had such nocturnal emissions to acquire, and now, yet another platform is in the process of being foisted on loyal, hard-working MTs. When I search for jobs, I find that no one uses the only SR platform I've been trained on and it seems no one want to train me on theirs!
Does anyone see a problem here?!!??

whistle blowing.. - Former MT

Maybe EVERYONE is fed up with the way the Q is treating loyal MTs, and that's why some of the "rugged" stuff is staying on here. The thought has crossed my mine, but I'll never actually do it, because unlike the Q I have ethics. I just hope that someday all this evil they are doing to MTs comes back and bites them, and that the MTs (if there are any AMERICANS left by then) aren't the ones who end up paying the price. I so wish all of you the best.

Are any decent MTSOs actually hiring ICs... and I mean IC in the traditional meaning of the word; not locked into some arbitrary schedule design, but a daily line committment. I have 10 years experience. The company I was working for no longer has the account I was working on. They have given me some pick up work here and there, but I can't live on $100 a week or less from odd jobs while they find something new and steady. They estimate it may take 60-90 days for that to h ...

Does any one know of a company that is TRULY hiring? The small company I worked for no longer has the account I was. They have nothing steady for me to do right now. Christmas is coming and I have 5 kids and everything is going wrong (septic tore up, car tore up, etc.). There are tons of posts for Nuance, Softscript, etc....

How is TTS (Transcription, Technology & Support) to work for as far as enough work, QA, and overall being a reputable company?

some part-timers anyway, why not offer weekends to part-timers and offer some Mon-Fri shifts for the experienced full-time MTs you're trying to get..... That's about the only way you're going to get many experienced quality MTs. And there are always plenty of MTs looking for part-time weekend work as a 2nd job. ...

I'm a bit confused with Keystrokes.

I don't understand why they would have this ad and yet only be sending info about only the 2 jobs. I'm in their DATABASE and am sent these emails according to what opens up. I have not received anything about these supposed 40 j ...

Is this just a scam so that employers don't have to pay benefits and employer taxes? I bet if there was an audit, most ICs and MTSOs would be in trouble for using that classification improperly, especially for the full-time positions. I even applied for a full-time secretarial job in a small law office recently, and was told I would be hired as a contractor with no benefits. I was stunned and declined. I need to check with the labor department to see if some of my concern ...

Does anybody know if Keystrokes is hiring? I haven't seen any ads here for a while. I wanted to put in a resume, but only if it would be actually looked at and not just thrown in a drawer. I sent one to Transcend only to be told no openings available, and I'm going on their list. I've been on this list for a few months now, despite the frequent job ads placed, and have yet to be notified about anything available. ...

I see ads for Medtrans all over the internet for all different cities and you go to their website and it seems they are pushing you to take their course and then they will hire you. I am just confused because I keep seeing the companies advertise for months, yet they seem to say "no" a lot. I have 12 yrs experience in acute care, radiology, and clinic, and it's amazing to me how for some reason it seems impossible to pass these tests. Is it just me? ...

Thanks for your help. ...

They only hire for 2nd shift and that is to do the leftover, picked-through work from 1st shift. There is no way to make good money going this, though they give you a month to get up to 135 lph, which at 8.5 cpl is a whopping 11.48/hour. During training, on the 2nd evening of work, this is how I got treated, getting the worst of the work. I do not get any job satisfaction in doing others' leftover work; it makes me feel li ...

I just posted this on the wrong board (Job Seekers, what an idiot I am). Anyway, I'll try again here. Does anyone know if the position FutureNet is hiring for is for an oncology account or acute care? I would like to apply but not sure I am qualified. I'm looking for hem/onc job. This is sort of confusing to me. I have never seen a company ask for acute care experience if it is for oncology transcription. Any information would be appreciated. ...
