system devised! It never seems to work and is so unbelievably slow I can't stand it!! Glad I got that off my chest.

If they would have invested in fixing MQ Central so you can actually find things and not have to wait 5 minutes every time you want to check the mail, instead of investing in schemes to spy on us, life would be better. They only spend money to make their lives easier, certainly not our's!
Another pointless vent - JMO

You would think that with all the technology out there and MQ being the biggest, they would have better systems, but their once good reuptation for having the "latest and greatest" MT user-friendly systems is fast going down the toilet. It seems they have managed to break everything that once worked well and was to the advantage of the MT and make the most user-unfriendly environment for the MT; regular email replaced with the worst email ever (must be some relative who needed work who created it, as well as ScheduleSource fiasco); took away E-Time and replaced with an overly complicated program that still does not work as promised; DocQscribe getting harder and more time-consuming to use with each new upgrade; tech support when you need it is a thing of the past (lets make them jump through hoops and maybe they will stop asking for help and we can get rid of tech support like we did QA); getting rid of QA and making MTs literally pay for blanks. Not to mention things like FTR (for whom I am still not sure)and ASR.
Never mind, pointless to even vent about it anymore. Glad I am outa here after the 1st of the year and out of MT altogether after many wonderful years. Pointless to go anywhere else as MT when all companies are soon to follow in MQ's footsteps, if not taken over by them. You think it is bad now, when there is no competition left they can and will do what they want to MTs and I bet only going to get worse. Good luck to us all.
Does anyone else get XXX emails in their MQCentral email. I started getting it about 2 months ago and now everyday when I got in my email, I have at least 3 of emails to delete. I have accidentally deleted important emails because of this. I called support when it first happened as I saw it as a HIPPA infraction as I had assumed that MQCentral was a secure website. He told me that someone with my Medquist email address in their computer looks as these sites and that is how I've been getting ...
I am sure these are closely guarded as they would let MTs actually communicate with each other..and that would be a no no.. MTs might actually band together ...
something like "correction to previous" email regarding line rate increase. At first I thought,
okay, that virtually nil line raise WAS a mistake and now they will be giving us a more
reasonable raise. Nope, it was the same exact amount. They said correction but nothing was
changed.........unless I'm missing something, but I stared at that email for while....... ...
From my region's SVP of OPs. Apparently my CCM is no longer my CCM. I guess what I've read here is correct and they get rid of the good ones because my CCM rocked! She was not just the best I'd had at MQ but one of the top managers I've ever had anywhere in any job.
Now I just wanna cry. ...
wanting everyone to work a weekend day. I personally can only work M-F and was hired on as such. I know some people probably already have mandated weekend shifts, but I have another job I work weekends. I wonder what would happend if I refuse to work weekends? Maybe I'd get fired and then be able to collect unemployment and do the TAA for retraining. ...
We have not had email for a week now. I called support and they said that they are having problems. What if there is something important we need to know, will they call us? Hmmmfff.
Anyone else have this problem. ...
An email was sent out encouraging us to get our CMT or RMT. Why? Oh oh oh, because we MAY be eligible for a line increase of 0.005. Not WILL be eligible - MAY be eligible.
I'll run right out and do that. ...
throughout the WHOLE COMPANY. No jobs all day and no helper pool because of low work volumes.
Anyone else out of work or running low or is it just our group being targeted it.

This email talks about how unhappy a certain hospital is with our work and talks about omitted text, incorrect medical terminology and threatens performance management? Wonder what's going on now? ...
asking for volunteers to help out during Hindu holiday in November. Sign me up...not. Can't wait for my new job to start next month (NOT MT) and getting out of this Indian-owned company. Many wonderful years doing MT (10 at MQ) and I will really miss it, but have to eat and keep a roof over my head. Gone are the good 'ol days when this profession could support a family. I really feel sorry for all the newbies coming out of school and have school loans to try and pay of ...
automatically forwarded or retrieved via another program from Mmodal's webmail? That's the crappiest webmail setup I've ever seen & you have to go through a couple of different screens to even get to your mail... It would be so much more convenient to have my hotmail, gmail, or outlook express retrieve it. ...
I already use Windows Live Mail. So I went in there and added my MModal email address. I had to verify it and I did that. But now what? It doesn't show up anywhere. Where do I receive the mail? I have looked all over the Live Mail "options" and I can't figure it out. ...
