Medquist is owned by CBay, based in India - thornbird


Posted: Oct 28, 2009

Well this explains why all our work is disappearing to India.  Medquist sold out to CBay, which operates out of India.  Anyone know of any USA companies that are hiring?  This is just outrageous and disgusting.

Actually, yes, I just recently realized all this was going on and just discovered this board. I was quite comfortable with the account I had for over 5 years and suddenly lost. I knew they sold out to a new company but I didn't know it was based in India. That freaked me out so I started googling. I was blissfully unaware of all this until just very recently and the harsh reality of it has finally sunk in. So, I apologize for not being up to date. I'm getting there thanks to this forum.

No need to apologize thornbird - anon

There are a lot of people out there working for the Q that don't come on this board and don't realize what is going on. To a large degree this explains why so many people stay with them. Also they tend to make changes according to "areas in the company" so some folks appear to be unaffected by certain changes that are going on. Then all of a sudden one day they too run out of work when their wonderful account is suddenly sent over to India. It is a real shame what is going on. Good luck.

Possible Cooperatively-Owned MTSO
Jan 09, 2013

What if a bunch of us extremely experienced, practically-out-of-work-at-the-present-time transcriptionists created our own MTSO, cooperatively owned by all of us, and DONE RIGHT? Just an idea. No need to be greedy, emphasis on keeping that sensitive information at home, and, most of all, quality and accuracy. We are all looking bad these days because MT pays NOTHING any more, so the positions are filled by people who have no idea what they're doing. It just isn't right. I am just havi ...

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 ...
