DSG seems to have the WORST dictators - Erol
Posted: Mar 26, 2010
I have been an MT for over 20 years and have worked at a few different companies. I am currently with DSG, and I just have to say, DSG seems to have the WORST dictators of any company that I have worked for. I work on 5 different accounts for them and it is all the same. Any other DSG'ers out there that are experiencing the same thing? I don't recall being told when I was hired that I would be typing 98% ESL. Beware if you are thinking of working here!
been there, done that and - you are right
[ In Reply To ..]It has been 7 years since I worked there and it was that way then too. QA was pickier than h$$l as well and contradicted themselves depending on who was doing QA. Was not a fun experience at all.
same experience... - sosmt
[ In Reply To ..]I worked there a few years ago on their oncology account and lasted about a month... was told there was 20% ESL. It was more like 95%, and they were the worst of the worst. Couldn't make any money, especially since I never got the same dictator twice. One of the worst places I've ever worked...
ditto on the QA - dc
[ In Reply To ..]Worked there for a little while, and the QA person(s) sent me samples to use for some of the dictators, then dinged me for FOLLOWING THOSE SAMPLES to a T. The platform precluded making any serious line counts anyway. Also management literally ignored any questions they didn't want answered.
not to mention - yep
[ In Reply To ..]that the SAMPLES themselves were full of mistakes! Most concerns and questions were ignored.
ESL - houndlady
[ In Reply To ..]Depends on the account, but my primary is about 50% ESL, secondary is higher, almost all ESL.
DSG - outta thar
[ In Reply To ..]Just recently left DSG and my accounts were about 50/50 ESL, from the sounds of it I was lucky with that! Don't expect much help from mgmt. Seemed the last bit while I was there it was all about mgmt, no care for the MTs and QA has never had consistency. Good luck!

Lousy Dictators - Crappy, Hard To Understand Dictators, Both ESL And English-speaking
May 17, 2014
Today I will make less than half of what I normally get because all I've gotten today are crappy, hard to understand dictators, both ESL and English-speaking. Seems like all I get lately are the hard to understand, mush-mouth dictators. Guess Nuance doesn't want their MTs making quota. Sorry. I just had to vent. ...

Sometimes I Feel Like The Worst MT
Mar 27, 2014
Lately I have not bee doing well, short on line count, a few bad audits, I am in the dog house. I now have a fear that a I too will be let go. It is hard to work like this, wish I could just quit, but cannot right now, maybe in a few months, unless they terminate me. I understand the policy, 150 LPH, but sometimes I just cannot make it, dictators are bad, unfamiliar accounts. When it is good, it is good, but when it is bad, it is bad! I guess I will just keep plugging along until other wise :( ...
The Worst Thing You Can Do Is Nothing

In addition to writing to your representatives, we should all try to get our story in the news. ABC World News or any of the others woulld be a great avenue to try. We just need to get their attention. Most average people don't even know about the MTStars site..we need to change that. They ask to keep it brief, so I would refer them to the site and make brief statements about outsourcing, how our pay has been cut in half, that VR is not all it has been made out to be ...

MTs!! No I am not perfect and yes I remember when I started how hard it was to remember a lot of things, but some of these mistakes are just stupid. They do not do research or something. I think what is driving me the most batty is they leave one space only after a period in 1 sentence and go back to 2 in the next. Not uniform at all. OKay, done now. Hiding my OCD now ...
Anticipating The Worst... Is This Possible?
Aug 04, 2014
What if the extremely lower than ever volumes (OOW on 3 accounts at a time) is because some of the acute worktypes are being converted to ambulatory care WT since more and more patients are kept in observation status or "extended recovery" instead of being admitted. W(c)ould not some of those same-day surgery types perhaps be called ambulatory? We would likely be kept in the dark about that just like everything else, don't you reckon? Anyone able to confirm this with anyone? ...

Worst MTSO Ever

Don't ever work for this sham of a company, who decides at the drop of a hat to drop wages to minimum wage base and then gives a pay grid to aspire to, all the while tying your hands behind your back with no work and no pooling. They came to the US a few years ago to hire every single MT and QC and manager they could to train their speech engine and their thousands of even more pitifully poor workers in India. That phase is over. You managers reading this will be the next ...

Nothing but garbled sound files on cell phones, ESLs who don't even speak a semblance of English, THE WORST VR software I have ever encountered, leads who expect us to sit at our computers 24 hours a day to pick up what work straggles in.

I have been at this a long time, and tough accounts are not new to me, but this constant garbage just drives me crazy. I HATE t ...

On-Time Is The Worst. Avoid.
Apr 27, 2012
Been with this company for 11, almost 12, years and now we have new QA who have NO clue what they're doing. No report is sent through without their checking it and messing it up first. And no two QA make the same changes. It's so frustrating to love a job and then dread working due to the unprofessional editing. No wonder they're losing accounts left and right. We're normally without work and I think my loyalty showed I was going to be there, at ...

http://crankalicious.hubpages.com/hub/The-Worst-Companies-to-Work-For-M-Modal Just a bit of a sample of this article. A must read article. It will blow you away. EMPLOYEES MAKE LESS THAN MINIMUM WAGE When a company treats its employees like disposable parts, such behavior can often be partially tolerated if the pay is good. That is not the case with M Modal, which has consistently lowered the pay rate of its employees to the point where many of them don't make minimum wag ...
