MQ buys JLG - cathy

Oh boy, I work at JLG and come home today to see MedQuist has taken over. I work weird hours as I also drive a school bus and things have worked out well with JLG in my doing this. Now from what I understand a timeclock will be involved when in fact all along we have been on production knowing exactly how many lines you need to produce to receive benefits. There is so much confusion here and this spooks me.
MQ buys JLG - Former MT

Cathy, whatever you do don't give up that other job. The Q is terrible. They acquired Spheris and it was all downhill from there. I too have always worked other jobs outside the transcription field. Thank goodness I was offered full time at one of them right around the time my account of 10 plus years "disappeared" one Monday morning.... You have about a year before the whole thing caves in - I would start looking now. Sad but true!

When MQ Buys Out A New Company, Do They Mar 16, 2012My company was just bought last month, and suddenly all the higher ups are "resigning". I would think they would have done that before accepting the new position, not after jumping through all the hoops and piles of paperwork to get hired, the miserable process of training on 10 different website logins, etc.
None of them will admit it, but it sure seems like MQ is firing off everyone who doesn't make them money. Is this the normal process?

What Is With These Companies? Dec 30, 2009Can anyone answer me why is it that these MT companies hire you and they all promise you the sun, moon and stars. Oh we have TONS of work. We guarantee you at least 11 accounts and 2,500 lines a day. Then you are sitting there 6 months later, waiting for jobs? I have experienced this many times. Can it be that its just bad management and they overhire? Does anyone know of a company that really does have TONS of work?

Any Companies Who Do Not Use VR? (sm) Jun 02, 2010The company I work for has gone VR (on most jobs). I cannot make any money doing this. My pay has been cut approximately $150 to $200 every two weeks. They have already taken away the incentives, and now if you screw up a couple of times on demographics, you do not get paid for the job, and the third or fourth time you are pulled from the account. I am just so frustrated. This VR is killing me. It takes more time to make corrections. It is frustrati ...

Can Someone Tell My Why Companies Do This? Sep 30, 2010So, I see it all of the time, people on here complaining about no work, yet the company they are complaining about is HIRING. My job recently did this as well. I am day after day running out of work, but yet I see an ad that they are hiring! I e-mailed the owner and asked about it and she didn't reply. I UNDERSTAND that they are hiring for a different account, BUT, since it's all transcribing, why not just move some people around and give those extra accounts to ...

Companies Using XP Apr 29, 2011Periodically, I will cruise the MT help wanted, and see some companies that list the system requirements as "must have XP." My question is this: I wonder if they mean must have at least XP or do they mean MUST HAVE XP. I find it difficult to believe that any system out there only works with XP, as Vista has been around for a good long while and even Windows 7 (which I wish DocQ would update to) has been out for a bit. I mean, it would be very difficult to find a computer ...
