NEW EMAIL FROM CORPORATE! - Explaining the new organization.

Posted: Jun 02, 2010

I just emailed my CCM to see if she is still with us!

and not of them would or could transcribe - an medical report if their MBA depended on it

Can anbody say....uh...topHEAVY??? and BTW..I could forgive their complete inability to perform any of the duties which produces revenue for this company if they had a clue as to how an MT/ME operates.

Hmm, I read that email....doesn't say anything about letting go any CCMs.....N/M - Kiki

I wouldn't be surprised if they do. Every time I get a really great CCM (okay it only happened 3 times in my 10 years here) she gets let go in less than a year or so.

But still, maybe you are jumping the gun here....unless I'm missing something.....

As far as I know, though, my CCM is still with us. She is one of the good ones, and I've had about 4 or 5 in the past 5 years if I remember correctly.

It just bugs me how every corporate email is always about mgmt promotions and reassignments, VP of this and that. Lord knows how many VPs we have.

Never once have we received a corporate email about a promotion for a CCM or anyone other than top mgmt.

I think the CCMs are hanging on for dear life at this point. I wonder what the Spheris CCMs have been promised....

Yeah, the letter states that they are excited about all the good things in store for the clients (which is most important) and the management and the stockholders but fail to mention that all of this is at the expense of the people who actually do the work. Amazing!

How naive can we be? - Mergers

Remember when we all first heard of MQ buying Spheris? Remember when some MTStar threads tried to think of that in a positive way? "More work for us?" Having been with this company going on 10 years now, I know their strategy. We, the little MT, never benefit from a merger. Mostly, heads roll, people are re-arranged, and to the victor belong the spoils. We NEVER benefit from any change. Those of us who do the scut-work don't think like the suits who were trained to be opportunists. I guess that's what you learn in business school. Personally, I'd rather sleep peacefully at night knowing I made an honest, nonetheless meager living. I'm glad it wasn't me this time, but there's always another card up MQs sleeve.

poverty is not purity think like a CEO - planetspinz

We can make a meager living or stop being loyal to a company whose executives have no loyalty to this company or any other company. They are on a career path not on a job path. If you are okay with minimum wage and just a job, then sure keep working for MQ but don't expect anything more. But if you think like a CEO and realize that corporations are in business to make profits for their stockholders, so that your bottom line is your own profit, then you take what you can from the experience and keep succeeding. Poverty is not purity.

They didnt buy Transcend for the MTs. They bought - it for the ACCOUNTS. R.R. (n/m)

They didn't buy Transcend, they bought SPHERIS. But you're right about one thing, they bought us for the accounts not the MTs, but they ALSO bought us because we have very HIGH customer satisfaction(and that is because of the MTs).

MQ bought Spheris because the price was right. NM - Curious

So I betcha have to be an RMT or CMT to win! There will be 10 MT/MEE's. I am happy that MQ included Spheris employees and their group. That made me very happy, although I have been an MT with MQ for 20 years, I am just glad that Spheris will have their group included. It is just well. . . ethical for MQ to do the right thing by including them. I wonder if India is doing the same thing. ...

MQ has taken our merit increases, pay raises that we all should get every year (mine was 10 years ago), our bonuses, and our pay cut in half to be able to buy Spheris so the bigwigs can have more money in their pockets. Oh brother. Makes me sick and here I am sitting here out of work. ...

Just received e-mail from corporate stating that as they had previously stated they would be rearranging management, ccm's, etc. It went on to state that if you had been reassigned to a new CCM they would be contacting you in the future, but Thank GOD at the bottom it lists who your CCM will be and I am lucky enough to have the same CCM who I love and has always been good to me. Today is my lucky day. So glad she is not one of the ones to go. ...

To all those who won a prize last week for MT week, congratulations. Now for corporate, if you can afford to hand out trips, flat screen TVs, and other prizes, why can't you give us a COL increase? I have never won a prize from MQ, even after 12+ years of dedicated work, working on short notice, getting high scores on audits, etc. I don't want the prize, I want to be paid for what I'm worth on a daily basis!

A prime example of that is when I work every holiday for time and 1/2, but low and behold, there is mysteriously no work in the system. Because they press a button and send it all overseas for some poor sap to do for 5 cents a day, instead of paying me time and 1/2. There is no appreciation for the MT and our expertise anymore.

I give up. I've submitted so many resumes and applications that my head is spinning. I can't help it that my experience is more than two years ago. The doctor died and the practice split up!

All that matters to companies nowadays is how much money they can make for their stockholders and for their yearly bonuses. They dont care about the American worker anymore. In India, when they want to fire you, they have to take into account the family you are taking care of, will you be able to get another job. America? They will throw you out on the street without a notice and not give a darn. In my town, the main hospital wants to let Chinese women come over to Ameri ...

It contains an electronic ankle monitor tastefully embossed with the MQ logo. You must wear this for your entire period of employment with MQ. When it is time for your shift to start you will receive a gentle, remotely controlled, electronic reminder - 5 or 10 volts at most. Should you ...
