Vern - Nice

Google his full name and you'll find how much he makes, salary, bonuses, stocks, etc. Incredible. I am all for capitalism but this goes beyond that. It is pure greed. The disparity is overwhelming. Ironic that he sends work to non-capitalist countries. MM is like the plot in Animal Farm. Hey Vern, what if the "little people" were to revolt? Who would be the pig?

Right on! - ("Dont feed the Pig") nm

Pretty annoyed that I did not get nominated again! - what do ya gotta do around here?

[ In Reply To ..]
I guess being a loyal employee for 18 years and always helping when asked is not enough to get your name put in for MT of the year!

Been MT of the month 3 times. MEANS NOTHING - Been 26 years here and

[ In Reply To ..]
MEANS NOTHING EXCEPT ONE THING!!!

PAY DECREASES!

Explain what you mean, please. Do you mean if get nominated - they decrease your pay? How SM

[ In Reply To ..]
can that be? They cant pay less than minimum. I have talked to some who have been nominated and they have said nothing about pay decrease. Just some pot stirring going on here.

As usual, outrageous claims never verified or - explained. nm

Maybe the poster just meant that Mmodal has - decreased pay in the past

[ In Reply To ..]
Not due to her receiving the employee of the month, just due to ASR and when they made standardized pay for the tiers. These things resulted in pay decreases, so what she is saying is true.

I doubt she meant that after receiving the award, they lowered her pay.

Only poster knows what was meant. If the explanation - was that simple, why not post

[ In Reply To ..]
that explanation. Reads to me to mean they lower pay of nominated MTs.

You could read something into every post if that - is the person you are.

[ In Reply To ..]
Or, you could just let it go and have less stress.

No stress here, just noting these outrageous posts are - never proven to be true. nm

I read into your posts a lot of hostility - probably from being treated poorly, hey?

[ In Reply To ..]
I think you need some more sleep. Probably a nice romp in the sac, and a long vacation.

Have a margarita on me!

Nah, just my personality. I sleep plenty, only - work pt and as for SM

[ In Reply To ..]
as romp in the sac, have plenty of good sex with my fave partner, ME.

Whatever. Have fun with yourself, Vern. - No other msg. needed

It sounds like your only purpose here is to bully. - We vote you off the island!

Big difference between posting an opinion and bullying. - Just because a post doesnt agree

[ In Reply To ..]
with anothers POV, doesnt make it wrong or bad.

Read the 1st few posts again. Bully didn't really - understand what OP said, then got hostile.

Yes! It is very true. Nominated and - get less pay.

[ In Reply To ..]
Been nominated 3 times (in the past) and what do ya get?? PAY DECREASES! YOU KNOW IT TOO! After all, MQ/MM sent out a letter stating all employees grandfathered in will have a pay decrease which mine was 3 cents!

Did you forget about that letter? Or are you a newbie and do not have a clue about this company. So technically, YES you get lower pay if a nominated MT. Pay decrease might not happen in an instant, but it sure will down the road because in reality, the company does not care about you and will forget about you. Oh wait, it sounds like our government.

She got pay decreases 'cause EVERYBODY got - them; nomination is no protection from that. (nm)

From my post above. Geesh you guys! - Remember, been here 26 years.

[ In Reply To ..]
I started out making 11.60 an hour 26 years ago as a medical transcriptionist with an AA degree in medical transcription/medical secretary and I was MT of the month 3 times and had 3 pay raises in 18 years. I was averaging around 22.00 an hour and went through 5 merges/buyouts. Around 2003 everything went downhill. The biggest was when we received a letter stating we were GRANDFATHERED in and had to take a huge paycut.

Now I am making minimum wage, less than when I started working as an MT.

So yes!!!!! Being a CMT for years and being MT of the month MEANS NOTHING! Just pay decreases (for my generation).

If you are all currently new at this for the last 7 years, my advice is to get the heck out of this sweat job. I will be finished with college in a month. Having this job is GREAT for going back to college.

What? Leave MT and all these warm fuzzy feelings - shared with fellow MTs?

Hahahaha! You can tell who are the newbies. - Hahahaha.

They have NO CLUE! Just read into things.

The ones that laugh crazily? - nm

Oh please! At least I am smart enough to get - out of this company!

[ In Reply To ..]
Before this company drags it down. You sound like you are learning techniques from Mr. Miller of the IRS.

Only Debbie-The-Generic-MT will get nominated. - n/msg

We made GOOD money for someone without a degree, had GOOD benefits, and were at least somewhat appreciated back then. In retrospect (hindsight is always 20/20), working conditions began going downhill when we became isolated from the physicians (as if we w ...

I'm surprised I haven't received performance management yet. I just cannot keep my line count up high enough since going to Fluency 7.6. This is too frustrating.

I don't get why ASR outputs synonyms of what was said and alternative ways to phrase what was said, not to mention the downright w ...

With the nature of world affairs and US relations such as they are, I can't help but think how wrong it is for companies in general, but specifically MTSOs, to be sending highly sensitive information overseas the way they do.

Maybe instead of complaining about how much work is being offshored, we s ...
