Just got my gift card in the mail - MModal Livestock

Posted: Apr 11, 2015

My $13 prepaid Discover card came in the mail as thanks for not slitting my wrists while training on a new platform. It came with a whole sheet of paper listing the dozens of different places I can spend it at. There isn't a single store on the list I use LOL. That seems mathematically improbable. 90% of them don't even exist within a few hundred to thousand miles. The ones I do have don't apply to me.

For the second time, the Cracker Barrel is one. That's only a 1,500 mile drive.
Neiman Marcus, Land's End, Pottery Barn, Sunglass Hut. I'm sure $13 will go a long way at those.
"Legal Sea Foods." The name alone cracked me up. Apparently, it's an east coast thing, but it was new to me.
Two different crab shacks. I'm allergic, but it would be worth it just to be able to say that MModal gave me crabs.
Hertz or Enterprise car rentals. Wow, at least they might let me get in, take a sniff of that new car smell and then leave.
Wynn Las Vegas hotels. But what if I go there and lose all my money? At the McDonald's drive-thru ordering off the dollar menu...
And the winner is: Royal Caribbean cruises. $13 off a cruise.

13 dollars! 12 years. Tens of thousands of dollars earned for MModal. Significantly less for me. No health benefits either, so I haven't cost them much. Putting up with sound problems, ASR, lousy dictation, terrible advice, condescending emails, confusing foreign call centers, insane levels of quality nitpicking, discriminatory quality and production standards, corporate hypocrisy, and more.

Well, I'm going to go see if there are any employment lawyers that want a discount on a cruise.

Thanks for my laugh for the day! - nm

You should send your exact post to the CEO. - nana7

Sorry they did this but thanks for the belly laugh.

Send a letter to the CEO - Everyone!

EVERY MT at MM should write a letter to corporate. After I finally got away from this horrible place, that is what I did and I didn't spare the language, what did I care, I was never coming back here, no way. I quit on the spot purposely, so I would never, even for a remote second reconsider it, no matter how bad it got and it got bad and I was never tempted to plead my case, just kept on trying until I found something.

That care is a slap in the face and I would cut it up and mail that along with your letter and tell them where to put it!

pointless they are - anon

The cards indeed are worthless unless you happen to live in a major metropolitan city that might have some of the restaurants. I saved up three I had gotten over a year's time (but before they expired) and used them to help off set the cost of dinner at Outback.

Fortunately I live in a city with a few choices. - I just used one at Bed, Bath, and Beyond

I am fortunate that I can usually find a way to use them but I think the whole idea of having to use them at only certain stores is ridiculous. My best bests are JCPenny, Lowes, and Bed, Bath, and Beyond so I just collect them in my wallet until I need something from one of those stores. I didn't realize that one expired so I lost out on the $2.33 cents that I had remaining on one, but I needed a 20 dollar item, had a 20% discount coupon and my whopping 13 bucks from MModal, and ended up only paying $4. Such a small token for all the hours of overtime I work, busting my butt for the measly wages we get, and the CEO probably gets thousands in a bonus when he gives up and quits.

I'm so jealous...I've only received ONE $13 card in my - 16 years at MM.

and I think I tossed it, even though I do have access to most of those stores. Just was not worth the trouble.

Gift Card - Worthless

That is truly an insult to every MT that received one. Just goes to show how little they think of us and the crumbs they throw our way. It probably cost them $13.00 to mail it!

Again this place is scum in every possible way.

Your post was priceless though! LOL

Don't forget - if you have any money left on your - Donate It

gift card and/or don't want to use it or can't find a way to use it, one of the websites listed on the paper that comes with the card is a site where you can donate part or all of your gift card(s) to charities, and some of them are local to your area. This is what I do when I have $2 or more left on my card(s). Most won't usually take less than $2 as a minimum donation.

Don't spend it all in one place, LOL - mom2huskies

According to my calculations Mmodal has rewarded a whopping $1.083333333 or $1.08 rounded to the nearest cent for each year of service.

Once again, don't spend it all in one place, LOL.

Yes, its true, my skills are awesome enough to warrant a $13 gift card. Bow before me peons! To all those who will take this personally, I'm teasing. Anyway, there's a catch. It turns out that this Visa card can only be used at certain places. Unfortunately, the nearest one of these places is over 50 miles from me, making it worthless as I'd have to spend more money in gas to get there. I could use it online, but shipping charges will pretty m ...

I received a beautiful Christmas card in the mail and inside was a VISA card from Transcend wishing me a Merry Christmas and the card even says "thank you" on it! I wasn't expecting that. I've only been with them a little over a month! I'm even more impressed with them now. I got a calendar last year from my previous employer. That was nice, but this is even better. Did anyone else receive one? I sure hope so! yay! ...

Tried registering it yet? Have fun. Couldn't get it to register online. Calling the phone number did no good, either. Apparently, my brain can't deal with technology anymore. Couldn't figure out what my employee number was (wasn't any number I could find), and there was no activation code where the computer voice said it should be. ...

I tried to use my giftcard today and it was refused. It was give by transcend, a visa giftcard, and it was refused when i tried to use it. I didn't see anything that came with it saying it had to be authorized or anything. Has anyone else had this problem? Do you have an authorization number i can call to authorize my card? Suggestions? Thanks ...

So, for MT week, I was one of the finalists for the MT of the year contest. I made it to the final round, thus getting a 100.00 gift card from MModal. Well, on my last check stub under the deductions is a category called "taxable prizes" and listed under that is my 100.00 gift card. So basically, I won a 100.00 gift card and then they turned around and took the entire 100.00 back out of my pay check. I thought we only had to pay taxes on the gift card. WTF is the point of a gift card if you ...

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. ...

I'm trying to activate the gift card I got from IMEDX for Christmas. I threw away the documentation that came with it that apparently had the "activation code". I called customer service and they stated the only hint they could give was it was the last four digits of my employee ID number. Can anyone tell me if this was the last digits of our last name?, last 4 of SS number? I can't remember my employee ID. Thanks! ...

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 ...

Just received my MT gift. I really think that Medquist must feel "It is the thought that counts". It probably cost them more to mail these then they are worth. Why don't they just give us an extra hour off with training pay - worth more to me than this mousepad. I need an ergonomic mouse pad anyway - did they ever think of giving their "beloved" employees one of those? Oh well. Just another day being an MT. ...

If Transcend was going to send me something worth less than a dollar store item, I would have rather had the dollar. Some of you will blast me for not appreciating the gift I did receive as you didn't get anything, but sometimes it is best NOT to get something. Like when you leave a penny for your server. That is meant to be a slap in the face. If you leave nothing they just think you forgot! This little star clip thing is a slap in the face!&n ...

Do any of you fellow MT's remember the Christmas gifts we used to get here at MQ? Who can forget the lovely mouse pad, worth probably 5 cents. Oh, but wait . . . don't forget the chapstick . . . what was it, on a chain, I believe? How would they EVER be able to top THAT? Guess that's why we won't be getting anything this year. Too hard to come up with something bigger and better than THAT! LOL How I miss the days when this was&nb ...

I got my MLS weak (pun intended) gift. Actually, I kind of like it. I do keep a note pad on my desk and jot things down while I work...not always work related, but hey! It seems more useful than the leather mousepad I got from Spheris years ago. I would have prefered a cash bonus or some free PTO, but they probably got a deal on the thousands of these gifts that they ordered and the actual cost to them was minimal. Weak effort to make me feel appreciated. I still feel underpaid! ...
