Took the survey and was very specific with my opinions - and I hope others were too and not just to gripe
Posted: Dec 13, 2011
Very specific:
Low pay, no incentive, extremely stringent time constraints, TIME CLOCK, MedQ does not support the workforce that currently makes their company. Acknowledged that MedQ is busily developing technology to do away with the MT, but in the meantime, need to pay the highly skilled MTs that keep them in business.
Also acknowledged that personally I do not have a problem with a capitalist principle to develop said technology to make seemless VR into the EMR.. But until that technology is perfected, IT IS DEPLORABLE that our pay has been cut 50% in the last 7-8 years.
I am soooo sure my pointed survey is making the rounds at staff meetings for a complete company overhaul....NOT
survey - rethinking career
[ In Reply To ..]Yeah, I was very specific in my survey answers too. I hope that we might be heard, but I've never been heard before, so I doubt it at this time. I just figure I'll be phased out, hopefully I can hang in there until retirment. Ugh.
Survey - I remember
[ In Reply To ..]I remember how my detailed response to a survey in 2004 or so was taken into consideration, NOT, before the whole 'Harmony' thing was instituted. Didn't work for me. Maybe there was an overwhelming concensus to go employee, not statutory, with the time clocks, etc. Anyway, feel for you, and hope your survey responses bring about a good change for you all.
I took it serious !! - Lee
[ In Reply To ..]I told them that I feel they treat the employees like a piece of furniture and I would NEVER suggest to anyone to work for them. I'm sure I will be put on a list somewhere...but can't be worse than it alreay is. They probably don't even read the surveys.

Just read through the survey without answering the questions. Waste of time! No matter how many of us answer it and regardless of what we say, after it is all over they will tell us that MQ employees love the company. This is just a way to try to placate us and make us think that our opinions count. You can all take turns flogging me if I'm wrong. ...
My Take On The SURVEY.....
Dec 06, 2011
I am an MT who has been around for 14 years with this company and I have my gripes like all the rest of you. I took the survey and stuck it to them when it mattered. For example, when they ask if compensation encourages people to do their best, the obvious answer is "strongly disagree" right? When they ask if compensation is clearly tied to performance....again "strongly disagree." Whether our answers matter or not, it's our opportunity to vent our frustrations with ...

Survey Of New Pay
Feb 02, 2015
Before the new pay rule game, I made 7.5 cents (3.75 cents for editing). Then when this new pay game started, I made less at 7 cents. However, I find lately I've been actually making noticeably more money with this pay game. You just got to keep quality and pending to QC under control. In fact, I think I now make a few hundred dollars more per month, if I keep it up, keeping quality up and QC pending down. I know some of you were actually paid 8 cents (4 cents for editing), so there is ...
