Got an e-mail stating I could test up to MME - mom2huskies

Posted: Mar 21, 2013

I believe it is just another way to cut my pay further.

Why do they keep doing this? There is literally - sm

NO QA work other than the very occasional Indian report with 75 blanks.

I like being an MME everyone's - experience is different

I get a combination of QA, MT and ME throughout the day and it breaks up the monotony. I like figuring out what's in the blanks. I haven't noticed that it's hurt my pay. But I know it's not the same for everyone.

Do you actually have work all day, every day, consistently? - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
If so, what region?

Also, they say POSSIBILITY of a rate raise.

Even at 200 lph ASR, that's minimum wage.

pretty much - sm

Some days it runs out in the middle of the day. Since I get a combination of QA, MT and ME, it kind of averages out and I make okay money.

I'm an MME, and all I have - sm

is the worst of the worst ASR all day long.

well as I said everyone's - experience is different

I don't take my good fortune for granted, believe me.

TESTING FOR MME - Nature

[ In Reply To ..]
Yep. I got one too. I am part time, and I want to stay part time (partially retired), so that leaves me out.

I am just impressed - that you could see your e-mail

I haven't been able to get mine all day.

But you could be entered into a RAFFLE - and maybe win a GIFT CARD

[ In Reply To ..]
thank you, no

Got the same offer, but I think I will pass. - anon

I'm doing okay where I am with my accounts. I don't trust what will happen if I become an MME.

Can anyone tell me why you only need a score of 96 to be - an MME but 99.5+ to be an MT?

[ In Reply To ..]
This makes no sense.

I picked up on that real fast too. - nm

96 on the test - not on the job nm

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt . . . - anon

I had a terrible experience as a MME. Don't even get me started on that again. Glad to be an MT/ME.

Think SERIOUSLY before taking this test. It was a decrease in pay for me, but I am just one person.

If they MAKE us all be MMEs, I'm - nommeforme

[ In Reply To ..]
for sure retiring in 6 months.

But . . . - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
If you become an MME, you only have to be 96% correct whereas as an MT/ME you must be 99.5%.
HMMMMMM

Hey, did you miss the part - old and burned out

[ In Reply To ..]
where they said you would be "considered" for an increase in your line rate? Got to love that part!

Yes. - mom2huskies

[ In Reply To ..]
There is no guarantee you would even get a raise.

An observation about all the "promotions" to MME. - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
One thing that really makes me nervous is that every time they create a position & "promote" a lot of people to it, they then seem to mysteriously decide they don't really need that position and eliminate it altogether, allowing a few to step back down & laying the rest off. I'm not saying that will happen, but I've seem similar happen here several times over the years. It's enough to make me very concerned.

that is true - nm

So very true, have seen it many times. - NM

they've had them for a couple of years now though - nm

[ In Reply To ..]

But all of a sudden they're promoting - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
a large chunk of MTs to this position, coincidentally when work has died out so much because of India. The big push to move a big chunk of MTs into that group all of a sudden is what I find concerning given their history. It may not amount to anything, only time will tell.

I totally agree with you.... - nm

Did anybody get an e-mail like this today? Just about 4 PM when I was starting my shift, I got a letter from payroll saying I would now be getting $7.50 an hour when I take PTO, when before I was told by payroll, it would be $9.50 an hour. This is the rate you have when you take a module or are in an MT conference. Anyways, ever since I started with Spheris, I got $9.50 an hour and have continued at this pay even after Medquist took over. They said it is based on production since De ...

I had to look up what it was because I had never heard of it. Turns out they are given to poor folks. I don't know what made them send it to me but it does have my name on it so I know it is for me. They must know I work at Transcend. It is only good for vocational training, cannot be for more than one year and must focus on skills necessary for securing entry level employment. I don't know what direction to go in from here. I ...

I have been working for this company since 2009. Today I got an e-mail to test for M-Modal. When I didn't answer this e-mail, I got a phone call and they left a message saying they e-mailed me and since I didn't e-mail them back, they are calling to ask me to take an MT test. When I tried to call them back, it wouldn't let me do that, and the recording said they would call back tomorrow. I think they should not call people who already work here, and how did they get my e-ma ...

Saw 2 ads posted here alone this week, perhaps there were more. Is it me or is this blantant disregard for IRS rules for IC. These ads state specific shifts and state for IC. Aren't these chancy moves on the part of the MTSO to actually put it in print publicly? Can't they get in trouble just for that? I am wondering if things have changed in rules for IC by the IRS or if I am losing my mind. Just touching base here for a reality check. PS: I am not saying it isn't a 24/7 b ...

I always thought I had been doing that, but I got this message more than once, so I'd like to see if any QA here can clarify this. CCM has no idea what she means ????

I don't want to make the QA's job any more difficult than it already is..... TIA..... ...

will not comment about a company, including their payroll practices, here or on any social media?

I have until Saturday to decide if I sign this document. I'm thinking about walking away anyway. ...
