Number of MQ employees dropped by ? since cbay - toodles


Posted: Jan 18, 2010

Does anyone have an article that I think was posted here awhile ago about CBay's plans for cutting US MTs? It might have been an Indian article.  Somehow the numbers 10,000 then down to 3,000 seem familiar, but I'd appreciate a link if anyone knows where to find this info. Thanks.

I don't now where the article is, but my CTL told me that there were 10,000 and now there are 3000.

Number of MTs - Philly

I think this is a question we need to ask our CCMs. Then ask why the numbers have decreased and how much they are going to decrease in the future. Let's not bury our heads in the sand. These are things we need to know.

Also, how many part-time vs full-time now? - --

[ In Reply To ..]
Part-time gets no vacation, no 40lk, no insurance, etc. Easier to try to force weekend work on part-timers also.

Regarding asking CCMs, do you REALLY think they'ER going to tell you the truth?

CCMs - Color me dubious

[ In Reply To ..]
CCMs are not high enough on the totem pole to be in the loop so anything they hear and may pass along to you is of questionable value. Many of them will get the shaft as well.

over 5,000 MT employees are currently at MQ and growing. It's very hard to know who's got the actual numbers. You read the ads and it says one thing, CCMs say another, etc., etc.... I wish somebody who did know would just let the cat out of the bag! I really don't like being in the dark about my job security. If their goal is 90% outsourced by the end of 2010, then tell us so we can get other jobs. If not, then quit hiring and outsourcing what now and give us the workload to make a decent wage.

Question For Those Who Have Dropped To PT With MQ
Nov 15, 2011

I want to drop to PT so I can find a different job.  I'd love to flat out quit but I can't take the chance.  But my question is, when you drop to PT, do you have to tell your CCM why or do you just inform her?  I really don't have a problem telling her I can't live on these poverty wages, but let's just say she isn't my favorite person, but I know she will be nosey and ask WHY?  Am I obliged to tell her?  And how do you drop to PT?  I ...

I was just curious about what employees thought of Nuance on Glassdoor.  You read several US employee opinions and they reflect the morale listed on MTStars.  Scroll further down and read the opinions of the transcriptionists from India.  What a difference.  They are highly satisfied with their jobs and most have been working with Nuance for 6 to 7 years.  The US transcriptionists are very sad!!  What a difference..... ...

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 ...
