M*Modal - CBAY? - Henrietta Hyman


Posted: May 11, 2012

I was one of 30 people fired in a conference call from CBay back in December, 2007. 

 

Was applying to M*Modal and looked up CBay's location and it says that CBay is now M*Modal???????   (Can anybody verify this?)

 

Also, do they pay hourly or per line?

MedQuist now M-Modal, owned by parent company - C-Bay.

Paid by the line. Not much straight typing, mostly ASR which is 60% of your line rate and it is not very good.

Yuck. Thanks.

Yep. Cbay owns (I believe) 100% of the stock now. - Seems shady to me NM

"Mmodal" is just like Medquist, and it's nothing like Cbay. Cbay was a great company to work for, great pay, great working conditions, awesome benes, wonderful people, felt like working for a small company as a team. This is definitely not Cbay's working environment. It's way too top heavy, tons of red tape & constant changes, one hand doesn't know what the other is doing, very disorganized, my CCM is not very pleasant to deal with & has the employee scheduling in a mess which makes it really hard on the employees causing NJA during certain hours & OT needed in other hours, the insurance is too expensive & very high deductible, DQS's ASR is really awful & made me lose a lot of income, tons of phone calls on your day off to work, and as I said it's either NJA or never-ending OT until you crack. The only good thing I can think of is that the pay is always on time. I've had enough & I don't plan to be here much longer & am searching for something else. (Disclaimer: This is just my humble opinion and my personal experience.)
"CBay was a great company"?? - Henri

Maybe so but getting laid off in a conference call 4 days before Christmas really makes me disagree with you.
Of course the layoff sucked, but before losing the job, it was a GREAT job. - nm

Wow! Just Thought Of How CBAY
Jul 29, 2010

CBAY could get rid of a lot of board of directors.  Does CBAY have any idea how much money it could save them?  In fact, why we are at it, get rid of the United States board of directors and bring in their own India board of directors.  They could probably pay their suits half or even less than it would cost for United States board of directors.  Plus!  Would not have to pay incentives, benefits, bonuses, gas for their cars, credit expenses for lunches and golfing, e ...

If you can't hear parts of the dictation, leave a QA marker.  It looks really bad when the client is on 100% for ILPs and all you did was copy and paste an old progress note with a few changes to the impression and plan.  Seriously?!  Did you listen to any of the dictation?  Cuz it didn't come close to matching up. Sure, the dictator was difficult and hard to hear, but I could hear enough to know that what the ILP typed didn't even come close to what was said, ...

MQ Delisted From NYSE, CBay Gone Private

My husband and I stay up on the stock market and I have been watching MQ and Cbay for about a year.   I just noticed today that they have been delisted and gone to pink sheet which means their stock consistently fell below the $5.00 mark.  Just a year ago it was $16.  Also, CBay has gone private and claims it is an American Company.  It is not, it is now privately owned by an Indian company doing business with corporate offices in London.  I don't know what thi ...
