good article, but it's not gonna happen.

No loyalty needed - planetspinz

[ In Reply To ..]
What is missing from that article is that corporate executives have no loyalty to anyone but their own careers. That's why MQ has had so many CEOs and other execs over the last 10 years or so. As with their colleagues in other industries, they use each company to move their own careers forward. Now we have to learn from them, and not be loyal to anyone but ourselves, and use the MQ experience to move on for ourselves. Get your skills, get your positive emails together, and take them to the next job. Otherwise you will continue to believe that your work is valued. Reliable people only get relied upon. Those who are not reliable get the same results as those who knock themselves out - I call that the jerks get the perks.

Just want to make a quick change to your statement, sm - mqmt

not being a jerk either but instead of corporate being loyal to their own careers, they are loyal only to the almighty dollar!

jerk perks - planetspinz

[ In Reply To ..]
the only dollars execs are loyal to are the millions that line their pockets, and they don't care how they get it just as long as the pockets lined are their's = and MQ jerks are not the only ones, it's a corporate muckymuck plague

Note To Management - PLEASE READ
Dec 04, 2012

When you overstaff accounts, you instill a sense of fear in your workers.  Fear that they will not make enough money to eat/pay their rent/afford the finer things in life...like toilet paper and toothpaste.  When this happens, your workers rush to finish reports.  When they rush, they make mistakes.  When they make mistakes, your clients lose faith in your company.  Your workers also lose any loyalty they may have had to your company.  This is a lose-lose situation. ...


MTSO Management? Read This.
Jan 13, 2013

I have noticed my main account going out of TAT recently.  It virtually NEVER did before.  You know why?  Because when you cut our pay and show no appreciation of us, we don't care to give you our free time, work on our days off or jump on when we are not scheduled, anymore.  So you see, your actions have consequences.  Not to mention that you over-staff so work is no longer steady.  And when you've succeeded in running off all the most talented, hard work ...

Read An Article About Mmodal
May 26, 2014

When you ask, they swear they are not headed to India, but they went from 1 to 5 or 6 offices in different parts of India and they are downsizing in the US.  The article stated: The company, which provides a service that allows doctors to speak into a software system to have their medical notes transcribed in India, is probably heading toward some kind of restructuring, the source said.

Hey, I Read An Article Somewhere About Virtual Organizing For Union Purposes.
Jun 12, 2015

I read somewhere that the employees of Gawker, an on-line news medium, had organized and voted for a union. They did this completely virtually, over computers, thereby bypassing management's chance to try to stop the effort. I am wondering if we should do the same thing. I plan on doing a little more research on it. Wouldn't that frost Nuance's little cookies if we could do something like that?? ...

Used My MT Week Gift Card To Apply To School
Jun 30, 2014

I was going to hang out for a bit and see if they offered another coding class. But the day the card came in the mail they lost my main account that I had had for over 10 years. Since there was not even a courtesy notice given until a week later to any of the MTs it just made my decision easy. So thanks for the MT week money, I sure put it to good use. I start in August. ...


HAPPY MT WEEK - Have A Great Week
May 17, 2010

To all you wonderful MTs working and slaving your lives away, Happy MT Week.  I appreciate you.  I appreciate your kindness when I have a rant or a rave, when I'm at my wits end with the constant changing around of clients, client profiles and the never ending dings being thrown at me. I appreciate knowing that I am not alone in this struggle. It is because of all of you, and only you MTs on this board that I manage to stay in this game.  We are treated as less than second class citiz ...

At 99.4% This Week, Congratulated That I Improved Over Last Week.

Good grief. I did not change the way I edit. It so depends on how many commas they think you should have. Yes, I made an unusual (for me) mistake last week, but the rest of passing an audit is dumb luck of whether you get a realistic auditor or Ms English wannabe. Everybody must be under pressure because of the cesspool as I see a lot of mistakes when I look up past reports to help with these mush mouths and accents. The time czar wants schedule changes, but I see no problems with turna ...

Not Management

I am not management!  You just don't get it.  I hate to say it, but many of you are too miserable here to see the good... for whatever reasons.   I am an MT.  I'm tempted to put my real name and MQ e-mail, but what for.  I've said what I did because I am doing okay, because I have been through frightening changes before with MQ and it has always worked out.  It seems foolish to tell you my real name though, as you mostly are a bunch of whining loser ...

FYI - Those Who Might Apply With Teletrak
Jan 16, 2011

Just want to be sure my fellow MTs are well informed.  If you apply at Teletrak, be prepared to be offered 8 cpl for 65 VBC line - this amounts to approximately 30% reduction in pay with the negative spaces.  I used several old reports and figured line counts all ways and it was almost 30% less each time with VBC.  I was told by the recruiter, "You'll probably have to work a few extra hours a day to make what you're used to, but in order to keep the client in a long-term ...
