"Listening leads to inspiring careers." - New MQ ad


Posted: Jun 02, 2011

That's what I found MQ advertising while I went searching for another job.  Just what does it mean though?  They certainly aren't listening to us.  Are we supposed to be listening to their innuendos of salary cuts, unattainable demands, losing our jobs to India to understand and get inspired to find another career?  Who comes up with this double-talk anyway?  Probably the same person that writes our corporate e-mails.

Listening leads to inspired careers. - Silly Sue

[ In Reply To ..]
I am listening and now I am seriously looking at other career options. I love medical transcription, that is why I have returned to it several times, but I do not feel I cannot trust any of them anymore.

Double-talk is so right -- what they left out is don't expect to make any money "listening," though, do it for free is what we want and we keep the profit!!

The problem is, MT isn't a "career" in the slightest. - Its just a low-paid sweatshop job. nm

Agree 100%--used to be--no more nm - Adios

For Those Who Want To Change Careers,
Nov 30, 2011

google "TAA petition" and read the website to start one against MQ for displaced workers since they are sending all the work to India, especially those displaced due to buyouts.  This is an excellent way to get school paid for to change careers and to make MQ pay for their indiscretions.  Finally, a way to gain from all of this. I think you can contact your department of labor in your state if you have any questions also. ...

I've been doing MT work for 15 years and like many I'm tired, I'm bored. I don't want to search for days just to find a ton of scams or jobs that pa ...

Careers MTs Switch To--Ideas?

I'm not too crazy about being in school a long time or least longer than 1-1/2 to 2 years. I thought about coding but heard that that field is changing too like MT. I would like to stay in the medical field but I'm not sure about the degree of direct patient contact I want. I thought about radiology technician but not really sure. Any ideas to at least all ...

Hello, Worked as an MT from 1994 until 2010. Starting have problems with my hands in 2003. Becoming an editor saved my life in 2005 and was able to work on broken hands a couple more years.

Listening To Dictator - And Loud Cartoons
