Dear Mmodal: Your Town Hall meeting was - just me

Posted: Aug 10, 2012

Insulting to every MT working for your company.

But hey, thanks V. D., for paying me $5.53 to listen to you blabbering about how awesome your team is... the part of your team that makes a bunch of money anyway, while basically ignoring those of us who do the work that give you and your team your nice fat paychecks.

I mean, a lot of MT's are struggling to feed their families, but I'm sure glad you are getting that new "state of the art" building for the suits to sit in. And I'm super glad to hear about your fun team building excersises that no doubt cost a ton of money. Surely the knowledge gained from it will help all us lowlie MT's pay our heating bills this winter, right?

I can't wait to see the results of the employee satisfaction survey that got a whopping 65% participation.... because the only reason that many of us would take the time to do it without pay is if we really LOVE our jobs, or we HATE our jobs. I wonder which is more likely? Well, it probably doesn't matter anyway, because there is no way you will actually acknowledge all the negative replies you got on that survey. I'm anticipating a lot of lies, and upper management patting each other on the back for how great you do running this company. Same poo, different day.

Anyway, thanks again for the 5 bucks! I only bother listening to your crappy meetings because it's free money while I clean my office, trim my dogs toenails, gouge out my ears with a fork, etc.. I actually tune out most of it because it's pretty nauseating. Maybe throw in a couple jokes next time to keep the audience's attention? I know a good joke you could use!

"So, an MT cashes her paycheck and is trying to decide what to do with the extra money she has after paying her bills......."

Wait, have you heard this joke before?

Amen!!!! - nm

I like how my post calling the person above "dense" got deleted because "you can't call people dense", but it seems you CAN call people stupid!

Selective modding FTW!

you would send this message to him. If he hears it enough maybe, just maybe things will change. It couldn't hurt! Just my 2 cents worth.

so copy it and send it... - sign it: Your Loyal MTs

Probably unmonitored email box anyway - Ask Vern

[ In Reply To ..]
Has anyone actually gotten a response from the Ask Vern email? I sent one regarding the comp plan and I sure his assistant just deleted it.

Here is another joke! - 90 percenter

So an MT got talked into having her check direct deposited to help her company go green but instead the company decided to deposit only half her check to make sure the banking information was valid. Corporate just told the MT to wait until the next pay day for the balance. Hilarous! Especially the part where she has to call her creditors and explain that her company held half her paycheck so they could go green.

Thats why we shouldn't help THEM do anything - they dont care if we can pay our bills

[ In Reply To ..]
I mean, wow, half your check on hold? How can they legally even do that? I'd be blowing up someones phones until I got the other half of my pay.

Did you miss the part where she said it was a joke? - nm

You seem to be the one who missed the joke.... - ?

[ In Reply To ..]
lol

Actual true story - 90 percenter

[ In Reply To ..]
When I signed up for direct deposit my first check they held half. They obviously felt I made so much money I only needed half and could float myself a loan until the next pay day. Not a joke as in ha ha funny, but a joke as in how pathetic this company is and how stupid I was.

PERFECT!!! - BlueStar

Absolutely beautiful. Could never improve on that. I only wish you sent it on to the Pinball Wizard (that deaf, dumb and blind kid). If you do, don't forget to copy Dear Amy.

I've used the "email Vern" link several times - Didnt get a single response

[ In Reply To ..]
It's a joke. It probably goes to a dead inbox somewhere that never gets looked at. This company likes to make us think our input is valuable. The only value it has is if they print it out and use it as TP.

I wish I could vote more than once. - mom2huskies

[ In Reply To ..]
Your post was spot on. The MTs pay for their fancy office buildings and mansions, while we struggle to keep a roof over our heads.

Yep. Vern's new office is 18,500 sf! - for what, 20 people?

[ In Reply To ..]
The article says eventually the office will have up to 75 people in it. Sure it will......

Oh brother! 18,500 sf office and I bet he is - NEVER in the office! NM below

Just not morally right.

Found out that the CEO did not want to move - from NC and

[ In Reply To ..]
instead, VD (hahaha...get it... VD in medical terms) and most of his top lieutenants plan to work from Raleigh and not the company's Franklin headquarters. He ended up getting a brand new office JUST FOR HIMSELF to work from his home in NC instead of moving to Tennessee. Makes me sick when you google his pay along with AA's pay.

Excellent detective work. Check out http://www.bizjournals.com/triangle/blog/2012/01/mmodals-davenport-execs-stay-here.html for further details. For info, article seems to be from January 2012. Must have been an oversight left out of VD's updates.

Well done! Wonder if this company gets their - ideas from the Triangle Fire.

[ In Reply To ..]
I have heard that a lot of companies who treat their bottom employees like CRAP while the higher ups make tons of money get some of their ideas from the Triangle Fire.

Many employees from the Triangle Fire worked as many as fourteen hours a day at wages not enough to support themselves, much less their families, the helpless victims of a speed-up system that added to the wrecking of their health and vitality.

This is when Unions were starting to form because of what is going on today at MModal. Oh, if you Google MModal average pay?? It is around 62,000 a year, but not us MTs.

MQ average pay may be 62k/year, but MT average is 28k - We have the lowest pay in the entire company! (lin

Mmodal is there, but that info is skewed because it was mostly pre-merger amounts.

Look at MQ pay. Seriously, MT's have THE LOWEST AVERAGE PAY in the entire company. I bet if the janitors were listed, they even make more than a lot of us. lol That is so pathetic.

Wonder how long the hose was? - fedup

[ In Reply To ..]
Wonder how long the hose was he had to use to blow smoke up his own butt? Another cut in our pay should cover the cost.

Dear MModal your town hall metting - kittykat

[ In Reply To ..]
I know what I would do if I had some extra money after paying the bills, buy more groceries and maybe stock up for the future with canned goods. Never mind I might like to get a professsional hair cut, keep my dog's shots up to date, get an oil change, all stupid things.

By the way, I saw a pic of Amy. I wonder if she would have gotten the job is she was 200 pounds and had thinning hair and spots on her face. I cannot tell you how many employees I have known who were promoted because they were "cute." I realize she has a couple of MBA's, but any person who spends enough time in scool and has the money can achieve this.

Probably born into a life of privilege. - mom2huskies

[ In Reply To ..]
That more than likely applies to Vern too.

I would not presume that - MMO

[ In Reply To ..]
I am sure they worked hard for those degrees or whatever to get where they are, but I judge them more on how they live their lives now and how they treat us lowly peons who struggle to put food on the table. They live in their little bubble, around people who are like themselves and can't remember what it's like to struggle. Or maybe you're right, they were born to privilge. Either way, they don't understand the reality we face.

NICE!!!! - nm

Town Hall Meeting - flying fingers

Well said :)

1 dislike? I didn't realize VD posted here! - hahahaha

If not him, clearly a CCM or above.
Pretty sure the MT's all have a sense of humor, since it's required to read our paychecks. ;)

I guarantee you I won't be one of the "chosen few" to participate with questions in this town hall meeting next week, I cause too much trouble by sending e-mails throughout the year to Vern and Amy, never to any avail.
