I see so many negative posts about SoftScript and I'm wondering what the problems are with this company. What are some other better companies to work for (full time) and why? Just curious.
...
WARNING!!! SoftScript monitors these posts!!! Check out Gigi's comment below!!! Maybe they would have happy employees if they spent more time on their business and less time on these boards!!! ...
In the past 2 days, I have done a total of 300 lines. I know that things are slow with the holidays, but this is past the point of slow. I have NEVER had a holiday this lean nor have I worked with people who seem to care so little. I do not have a direct supervisor yet, despite their claims that they are working on assigning production managers, so I do not even know who to talk with about this situation. Most of the time if I send an e-mail, it goes unanswered. I f ...
from the posts below. I almost accepted a position with them a few months ago, so kinda scary. It seems nowadays the only thing you can count on is that you cannot count on anything. ...
independent contractor, yet in the requirements state:
An excellent work-at-home discipline with a commitment to work an 8-hour shift on scheduled days. ?? ...
Just wondering because I was over at the other MT site and saw a help wanted ad for TTS and thought maybe TTS was mad at MT Stars owners because they let MTs post not so good things about TTS. MQ doesn't advertise here either but they are looking for help too.
What's up with that?
I support the companies who advertise on MT Stars, my favorite MT web site.
...
will read this. If you are going to place an ad, at least state the pay rate. If you do not do that and someone goes ahead and tests, only to find out the pay is horribly low (7-8 cpl), you are going to have one very irritated MT who will tell others to stay away. Also, you need to state the platform and the computer specs! Otherwise, I am not going to waste my time even sending a resume much less testing. ...
8 cpl is what I started at 6 or 7 years ago, I'm still seeing this number and of course much lower. How are companies getting away with this nonsense of not paying for spaces, paying 5 cpl, etc.
In my opinion 8 cpl + typing for large teaching hospitals with 18 pages of specifications = really low pay.
The one way I can think to put an end to these companies and their crappy pay, besides no one taking these jobs, is to stop letting them advertise on MT stars and other MT boards unless they ...
I am tired and frustrated from applying and sending out resumes only to be ignored. It is like a game with them, I think. MedGarde even has an interview which has absolutely nothing to do with your skills or qualifications. In fact it seems like psychological testing to see if you are mentally competent or something like that. I swear I feel like a mouse that is being tested and run through a maze to see how well you perform, but even mice will get the prize or food event ...
Why is it, that when you apply for a job, the company doesn't have the decency to contact you back, after jumping through hoops to complete their testing? ...
someone had the instructions for finding out about the STATUS on DocQManage. I do not have the status. Could someone walk me through this to see how to find out about the people working on my account? Any help would be appreciated!!! ...
It would be nice if we could read all the posts in the current month. Sometimes I want to follow a particular thread, but it falls off the bottom of the page and cannot be seen.
Can this capability be enabled?
...
Every time I look to see what's out there, as far as job requirements it seems to get worse and worse. I just wanted to put something up here which is what this all reminds me of... thank you for putting up with my sick humor... Here's what I think when I read jost postings:
WANTED: MT!!!! This job is For YOU! Why wait in the cold outside, freezing in your home which is a box under the highway when you can bask in the warmth of our SWEAT SHOP!!!
Yes! We ...
I am amazed at how many people ask the same question year after year about company after company. Companies have until 1/31 to mail W2s. The bigger the company, the longer it takes to finish up the previous year's books and have W2s ready to print. It takes a lot of time to print, assemble, stuff, seal, stamp and mail an entire company's worth of W2s. Smaller companies often take just as long because they don't have a large accounting department or the manp ...
First of all, it sickens me and I can't use the language I want to use about this or I'll get banned.
A few weeks ago I failed an audit just under the 99%. I started getting worried, and I confided in my CCM - told her I was worried about my pay being docked if I ended up on 100% QA. I also told her why all of a sudden are they unhappy with my work when I have been here over 10 years and have always passed my audits. The reasons for failing were ridiculous, and I tol ...
There have been a few times since I left MModal when I've wondered whether I did the right thing by leaving. I still come here to see what's going on, and seeing all the posts makes me know I did the right thing by leaving. Nothing seems to have changed for the good, and I doubt they ever will. God bless you each and every day for putting up with this company's mess and disrespect. ...
for about 2-3 days. You all need to seriously call in sick for 2-3 days. I have emails to about 1,000 MTs. When and IF we get more work coming in, we need to seriously take off by stating we are sick and cannot work.
Something has to be done and this is the only thing I can think of that might trigger something for the higherups to get a CLUE that we are human beings.
...
It seems like when someone comes on here to say that they are getting out of MT and studying coding or nursing or something, someone always has something negative to say about what they are pursuing. Well, what jobs are "safe" or good career opportunities. There has to be SOMETHING that can't be sent overseas or hires someone without experience, etc. Right?! ...
Yes, they do need help. The work has gone from NJA to multiple notices of needing help on specific accounts. However, they are hiring for people to do speech recognition work on the M-Modal platform - their version of this platform. See discussions below. This platform is nonproductive and cumbersome. If someone from this company can make as much money per hour on this M-Modal platform as they were on the previous speech recognition platform, please, by all means, step up ...
Hi. Just wondering if there is a way to view all posts from May, or can you only do a subject search? At the bottom it shows June, July, Aug but not the prior month of May, etc. Thanks in advance. ...
Would appreciate any info on how to see messages on boards and in archives. When I click on the Navigation menu at the left all I get are blank screens. Thanks. ...
There are MT DIVAS and QA DIVAS... why couldn't the Lord have given me a voice like Whitney or Aretha, then I could have been a real DIVA and not worrying about making 7 cpl and paying house and car payments. To be Mariah Carey wouldn't be bad either. Which DIVA would you choose to be if you have the choice? George Michael, Donna Summer? I mean REAL DIVAS! ...
that MQ sent out that stupid letter stating not to worry, we will still need MTs, and that off-shoring will remain one of many solutions (including VR). I really have no idea whether we will still be here after the first of the year or not (although that's what a lot of people on this board thought LAST year and it didn't happen....but WHY would they waste their precious money sending that letter to everyone if they planned on nixing us all soon? Doesn't make sense.&nb ...
I honestly don't understand all the negative MTs on here. It is very unprofessional to come on here and slam your company. I have been an MT for over 10 years and have always made enough money and I'm proud of what I do and love the money I make, all while working from home. I think most of these negative people are just people who aren't cut out for this profession and I wish they would realize that and go find something else to do. Why would you put your ...
