So, this new "exciting" change they are talking about... - where our pay will be based


Posted: Feb 16, 2015

on the previous 2 weeks (to start Feb 28) -- so, does this mean that our March 6 paycheck will be based on the PP from Feb 14-27?  Is this correct? 

Who wants to take a guess on why they are doing this?  I KNOW it's not the reason they give in the email--so that WE can have more time to request reversals. 

reversals? - anon

Have you ever seen a reversal? I have never received a response except the auto notice of requesting one. Someone said they never do them. Does that mean they are averaging two weeks together? Keeps from getting higher pay.

I received a reversal last week - nm

I've definitely gotten reversals and still do - babe

If you've never gotten more feedback than the 1 email you're describing, that's NOT the way it's supposed to work!!! Either you're not getting the followup emails, or it may have gotten hung up at the TSM level. I THINK after the MLS's initial Request, it is then required to go through a TSM review before it can be processed further. So first, I would go look at the FIESA site and check the Reversal "trail" of activity to see what the last action on it was. If you see nothing more than what was in your email (and be sure to have given them enough days to process it), definitely question your TSM about this; if you get no response or satisfaction, DO go over her head. They can't just ignore a request and leave you hanging. If I remember correctly, I experience about 3-4 emails, the first one like you described, then another one including TSM's action/response, then another one about whether it's been approved for Reversal or not.

Exciting Changes
Nov 04, 2014

Since when do we have to initial for EVERY report that went to QC for review? How hard would it be to let us know, hey, next time you open Fiesa, you are going to get such notice and you must review all of the reports--even if they scored over 99%.....Nope, figure it out on your own. The reason the reports go to review, many more times than not, is because it is a crappy dictator, HORRIBLE sound quality, so quiet I cannot turn up the volume anymore, or just plain did not make any sense, so show ...

EXCITING NEWS!!!
Dec 10, 2014

Hey MTs who work for Nuts, In my opinion, with the system being down and Nuts hurting to get the work back to their clients, and Christmas almost here, what a GREAT TIME to say: "I have some EXCITING NEWS! Here is my resignation, effective immediately! MERRY CHRISTMAS!" Think of the impact if MTs joined this bandwagon!!! Who cares, let Nuts send the work to India. See what happens! ...

Well, now I am equating "exciting" with doom and gloom.  First they knocked the pegs out of under me (us) and sold the company to Nuance.  Now the account that I was told would probably NEVER go to speech recognition, is doing just that.  I feel like I've been kicked in the stomach.  Don't know how much longer I will ride this wave.  Lord come quickly. ...

Why All The Secrecy Surrounding The New Exciting
Nov 04, 2014

Why is the most important factor in this (compensation rates) such a big secret? Why the silence. Why are TSMs not allowed to discuss or explain? How can you view this as exciting? It may be exciting for those at the top as they anticipate plan for increased bonuses and more exotic vacations. I can assure you, it's not viewed as exciting to those of use actually doing the work so that you may continue to live the lives you've become accustomed to. It's just so disheartening ...


Let's Face It. If New Compensation Plan Is Great And Exciting,
Nov 13, 2014

to announce it by now. Rather, it's end of year, they are frantically trying to hire new MLS who don't know any better and will be locked into the crappy exciting compensation plan while there is the expected stampede for the door. Can't get any lower than that. I wonder how much they paid a committee or team to think up this plan. ...


No One Talking About DIT
May 30, 2011

I am really surprised that there is no one talking about DIT.  I know that I am not the only one that got the shaft from them.  The owners last excuse for not paying me for work completed was that he just found out that he was losing his eyesight!.  Again, I fell for it hook, line and sinker.  He couldn't answer his emails because he had to find someone else to read them to him.  By the end of the conversation, I was in tears..... I am such a fool.  I did however, get my pay in full, ...

Tired Of Getting Talking Down To

anyone else tired of being talking down to by their QC, so sick of it, they act like we are babies and they are the only ones with knowledge.  So we make a mistake, their mistake in this company if making the point value so high on silly things, but there again that is one way of getting rid of us and giving more to off-shoring. Just tired of it all but looking every chance I get.   And I guess the higher ups who get copies of all the QC emails probably are eating it up when they ...

I've had plenty of those, too, and regularly achieved the quarterly bonus up until recently. So, I work 25 hours, and they audited 1 report only with 1 error and I am at a tad over 98%. Meanwhile, I pended 4 jobs and that ...


Pay Per Audio Talking Minute
Jan 16, 2015

Note, these are non-MT jobs. I have been applying to jobs that pay per "audio talking minute." These are all basically customer service jobs which might include a little tech help and also might include some upselling. Anyone have a take on this? After I quit MT, I SWORE I would never do any job that was not hourly or otherwise a guaranteed amount per paycheck. Has anyone done this type of work? I guess I'm curious what "audio talking minute" means. I'm assuming it means not ...
