Question for those who have dropped to PT with MQ - Kiki

Posted: 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'm sure you need notice. Do you just tell her or is there some protocol or forms you have to file?

Thanks in Advance!

Just send an email - Ang

stating you want to change your hours. If she asks why, just come up with a good sounding excuse.

Good excuse: Just a vague - family issue - should - suffice. Leave it at that. nm

Does anyone know what the min hours are for PT? - MalteseMom

I too have been looking for other employment. maybe keeping part time with MQ until I know I am satisfy somewhere else. I wish I could quit them all together. I feel so frustrated that I just might do it. I know the min it used to be was 8 hours several years back but I think they changed it. I would look on mq central but it takes so darn long to find what your looking for. TIA

Its 24 - no exceptions

It makes it too hard to work a second part time job

that is what I thought I remember from a few years ago - maltesemom

that is probably why they raised it.

unless, of course.... - pedal stomper

Unless, of course, you had less than 24 before that became the rule...

Just tell her it is for personal reasons. If she pushes you, tell her politely that you prefer to keep your private life private.

I put my heart and soul into this job, a job I used to get paid $20-plus an hour for, and my most recent pay check was only $297 for two weeks' work, part-time. Up until now I was getting a whopping $304 per pay period. Never mind trying to understand the pay stub explanations. Even the base pay is less than my state's minimum wage, which is puny at that. Yet they have the gall to complain over an ADT omission or a minor text error. I swear ...

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 can start looking for another job. Well, since you have to give 30 days' notice, I can't start PT until Dec 20, but whatever. My CCM didn't really seem to like it. Calling me up, "just want to know if there's a problem, so why are you going PT....are you looking for another job?" So many questions. I wish I hadn't answered the phone. Um, DUH, it's because I don't feel stable in this job. Tired of worrying if I w ...

mandatory OT. I'm too tired and burnt out, and my hands hurt too bad. It's having the opposite effect of what they're intending... I guess if whoever is making the mandatory OT decision knew anything about business, though, they'd know that too much OT for too long is counter-productive. ...

Anybody out there with SoftScript being bumped down to P/T for line count? Have been with them 11 months and have run out of work every single pay period with 7 different accounts. Nobody EVER, EVER answers any emails. Have never even heard from my PM. I get over 99.75% on every single audit, yet miss the count by 1 or 200 hundred and I lose even more money? Curious if it is just being done because of the new insurance laws. Putting everybody down to PT so they don& ...

Really upset right now - work has dropped off so bad now that I am forced to look for work again. I am upset because there was work on the system and a few of us were asked to stop so that the people that have been there the longest have a chance at work. I dont think this is very fair as I have bills also to pay and surely cannot like this. I thought it was first come first serve. Am I so wrong? ...
