have been brutally honest in past years. What good has it done?

They will pick it apart and use it to their - advantage

The few good things they will see, the rest will go by the wayside. I will answer and be brutally honest because I don't want to regret not doing it. Surveys are just a way to placate people, they mean nothing.

That was how we got the cesspool - just saying

Too many people complained about running out of work so they opened all accounts and gave us whatever job was up next in an entire region, otherwise known as the cesspool. When complaints rolled in regarding the cesspool (clients and employees) the survey results were touted as the reasoning behind it. Wasn't the company's fault, it was the employees who dared complain about running out of work.

They will completely ignore complaints regarding consistent low pay, bad ASR, penalties for QA submission, lack of career advancement opportunities, etc. and focus on the spot award program, new email system or the Mmodal newsletter and pretend that is the highlight of the year and then somehow claim they did this based on the survey results. Yeah right. I am sure everyone wants more spot awards or a newsletter and no one wants a raise or to quit running out of work.

I'm almost certain it won't do any good, but - whodat

it will make me feel a little better, that's all.

They will fabricate the results to suit them - anon

I can hear it now:

"We appreciated getting soooo many responses to our employee survey! What we found was, that 99% of our employees said they felt that they were being paid way too much for their work so because MModal is so responsive to our employee needs and care so much about our employees' wishes we've decided to reduce employee pay by 50%."

The results will say EXACTLY what they want them to say, whether they are accurate or not.

then what is the point of doing it? - makes no sense

You have to ask why - sm

They do it to shut us up and make us think they care. Bottom line is profit in a business losing money. Who is going to take the hit or has taken the hit time and time again? They aren't going to lose money, we are. As for being an anonymous survey, wouldn't bet my house on that one either. Interesting to see if those of us that are brutally honest remain employed. I'll let you know if I get the ax, honesty is one of my "faults."

You're kidding, right? It's to make us feel like we have a say - of course

[ In Reply To ..]
It's business psychology 101 - make the employees feel important, like they have valuable input in the direction of the company, and then they do what they want anyway.

Survey - Mt

We will all state we want fairer wages for ASR and they will come out and say the survey indicated we wanted more mentoring...lol.

I just hope no one asks for better communication... - like last time

[ In Reply To ..]
Or a new email....

For God's sake, nobody mention the email!! - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
LOL. Last time out of hundreds of surveys completed, that's all they seemed to have gotten from it -- the tiniest complaint rather than the big issues.

I would actually like to know why Fluency has - sm

gotten so bloated that's it's eating all my RAM & if they plan to do anything about that.

not that upper managements pay is bloated? - your worried about ram?

[ In Reply To ..]
Wow.

Like us filling out a survey is going to make them slash their - own pay. That will never happen. LOL nm

Just got the survey email. What a joke! The Senior Executive Team (SET) and I are deeply committed to improving the M*Modal employee experience and culture, and to do that successfully, we need to receive candid feedback from everyone.... it's that critical and that valuable to understand the employee perspective as completely as possible -- across geographies and across functions -- so that we can become the best place to work in the industry. ...

I'm seeing more and more job postings for statutory employee status.

For example if the traditional employee line rate is 8 cpl for transcription what would I need to request for statutory status? The same or more? ...

Just read through the survey without answering the questions. Waste of time! No matter how many of us answer it and regardless of what we say, after it is all over they will tell us that MQ employees love the company.

I am an MT who has been around for 14 years with this company and I have my gripes like all the rest of you. I took the survey and stuck it to them when it mattered. For example, when they ask if compensation encourages people to do their best, the obvious answer is "strongly disagree" right? When they ask if compensation is clearly tied to performance....again "strongly disagree." Whether our answers matter or not, it's our opportunity to vent our frustrations with ...

I had so much fun using words like despicable and abomination that I just couldn't help myself and filled it out 3 times.

Before the new pay rule game, I made 7.5 cents (3.75 cents for editing). Then when this new pay game started, I made less at 7 cents. However, I find lately I've been actually making noticeably more money with this pay game. You just got to keep quality and pending to QC under control. In fact, I think I now make a few hundred dollars more per month, if I keep it up, keeping quality up and QC pending down. I know some of you were actually paid 8 cents (4 cents for editing), so there is ...
