Take my advice about MTSO Christmas gifts - Knowing

Posted: Dec 19, 2009

If you don’t expect anything, you will never be disappointed. People, you are not little children. Grow up. If you get a Merry Christmas, that should be enough.

What makes you think many of us even GET a "merry" Christmas? This year I don't even have the money to give my kid any presents! My finances have been horrible for the last 6 months due to my job. God forbid I should expect a thing in return for working EVERY holiday EVERY year! So while those of us work the holiday without even a pat on the head from our MTSO are toiling away, much less a thanks from the coworkers who don't have to work because I volunteered - the rest of YOU enjoy YOUR merry Christmas.

sentence. I personally have no idea why all these people hanging on for dear life while suffering so much with lack of work, no work, low pay, no pay, seems like a lost cause to me. Oh, I worked Thanksgiving, volunteered and also said I would work Christmas if need but higherup said would have another work as I took Thanksgiving.

As in "somebody spiked the eggnog"?

Ah, more power to her if she has...If I weren't working right now, some "Christmas cheer" in the form of some Mexican or Irish Coffee would sure hit the spot in this cold, lol!

Not drunk at all, replying to the person saying they - Knowing

volunteered and, so? Other people volunteer, I did because 1 thing is Thanksgiving not that big a deal for me and for Christmas because others might have small children they want to spend time with. No big deal to volunteer as far as I am concerned.

Aren't you special. Many of us have to work sm - please

every holiday and our supes don't care about dividing holidays evenly. The same people are off every year. What do they care? The office is closed, every holiday is a holiday for them.

The reason so many of us are stuck is because, if you haven't noticed, getting an interview for another job is difficult due to the many resumes received for each position advertised.

Have some compassion. Maybe you've had a decent year, but a lot of us are drowning in our bills and no, this won't be a "merry" Christmas.

been reading and the same thing about low pay, no pay, etc., etc. has been circulating way before present circumstances with the economy.

Perhaps the slow down was a precursor to the current economical crisis, in that MANY industries are in financial straits right now due to the increase usage of off-shoring.

I took your post to be inferring it was the MTs own fault if she had to work a holiday or was having to struggle financially; I hope I was wrong, because (1) you would in all likelihood be wrong and (2) that would be an uncalled for and unnecessarily catty comment.

Happy Yule.

Saw noooothing wrong with that post. Scrooge, Oh my goodness. Someone does something good and WHAM, shame shame

I find most of your posts completely unintelligible - Too "out there" for me

[ In Reply To ..]
No clue what that post means or what the "something good" you're referring to is. Maybe it's just me but I always find your posts disjointed and out of context, like they're in "code" or something.

I think I'm gonna skip your posts from now on...Too much trouble to try to interpret them and I have the feeling deciphering them might not be worth the effort.

Maybe editing all day makes all of us a bit unintelligible and we're starting to post like the reports we edit all day.

Anyway, yeah...bah humbug back atcha, sunshine.

I sincerely doubt that the company big shots are reading the postings here, plus the anonymity wouldn't make your thank you mean much. I would think it more appropriate to send a handwritten thank you note, which is what I used to do when I worked for TransTech. I'm glad your comany sends you gifts. In this day and age, most of us are just lucky to have a job. Still, it kinda rubs it in to those of us who work for Scrooge companies who treat us like piece worker ...

Personally not expecting anything, just curious if anyone else was lucky. Last year we got a cookbook compiled by various people in the company that we got to print off ourselves. Don't think they can top that. However, on the upside this company keeps me in work and pays well. I can't complain, or at least I shouldn't. Let's hear it from anyone who did get or will be getting a little momento in the spirit of gift giving. ...

I'm wondering with all these little trinkets sent, or not....with all the little games throughout the week, why is it we don't hear a peep out in the "real world" about MT week? It was established in 1985, but nowhere except on the AHDI website is it being promoted. Type "national transcription week" in google and click pn search news, and the only things that come up are about how clients are trying to cut costs (usually by eliminating us).

I just do not think its professional to send out emails regarding gifts for a baby. If so many people asked why not just send them an email via their own personal email or a phone call. Why do we all have to know where we can register for gifts. They are not so employee friendly with us in other ways. Think about it. ...

I've been reading these posts about the trinket trash as one person called it (good name) that MTs are receiving from their employers. My employer sent nothing, which if you think about it is less insulting than some of the garbage that has been sent out. The whole issue reminded me of something, I couldn't think what, until it finally dawned on me. It's like the white man giving the Native Americans trinkets and baubles for their assistance or their land or the ...

First, I hope those of you who need to hear this will. I am not by any means saying what I am to hurt anyones feelings, to be mean, to start a ruckus, as a means of causing some to say hateful things, or to seem "better than." This, however, is something that those of you looking for work and unable to find a position, need to hear. I recently had an opening for a transcriptionist for my very small buisness and recieved many, many resumes. Some were wonderful and I wish I coul ...

So what do you think we'll get as a Christmas present this year? A new mouse pad, an envelope opener, perhaps a pencil with the Medquist logo on it, an eraser maybe? Oh, the possibilities are endless!! I'm sooooo excited, I just can't wait! After all, we know how much Medquist appreciates us by the way they treat us! Oh wait, I forgot, there have never been even cost of living raises let alone merit raises. Oh wait, I forgot ...

Of all the MQ employees here scheduled to work on Saturdays, has anyone been approved to have off Christmas Day? I put in my request exactly 60 days ahead of time (since we can't do it before that) and have yet to hear anything. My CCM, who is pretty good about responding to e-mails, has not responded to me when I questioned whether I've been approved. So, my question is, has ANYONE gotten the OK to take off Christmas? ...

In the spirit of Christmas, I just want to post something positive here. I have had an up and down rollercoaster year with the Q (as usual), but still in spite of it all (worry, frustration, financial woes over pay cuts, and even tears at times), I truly feel grateful that I am employed and have a job in these terrible times when so many are without. It is far from a perfect job, but it is a job nonetheless. I hope that everyone has an even better year in 2011 & a ...

Does anyone know if Christmas is actually on Sunday at Webmedx this year (last year it was on Friday instead of Saturday so the office staff could get the holiday time off)?
