Happy Holidays everyone!

I don't post here often but do read. No matter what our differences or opinions when it comes to MQ, we all have it in common and sometimes it's just nice to know that you are all there with that common bond. So, thank you and I hope you all have a wonderful holiday and a bright new year. Jaybee ...

I don't need some gift (that wasn't worth the money they paid postage on). It just would have been nice to at least send out a company email wishing us a happy holidays. That would have only cost them the money it would have taken some salaried person to type it up and sned it out which is really nothing as that person would have been paid whether they did that or not. Guess 'cause we're an Indian company and that is not one of their holidays. What would have been appreci ...

Just wanted to say Happy Holidays to everybody and hope they have a great time and a great holiday! This was our first time decorating and shopping as well as sending cards and stuff in over 7 years due to severe pain and financial issues. It feels so good to do normal things during the holiday this year, although it took numerous doctors appointments to do so. I felt so good when my cousin emailed me that my grandma was searching her mailbox everyday and nobody had sent a card yet, but me... s ...

It's the little things that make a difference in your day. ...

This company really bites. Not even a Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays from the upper management. Hope you all have a great couple days even if you have to work and a Happy New Year! ...

Everyone have a safe and hopefully happy holiday! (Sorry, wanted to spread cheer on this board today). ...

MedQuist ate up AllType and spit out the Radiology MTs. They have cut our pay in half, and just in time for Christmas! I guess instead of saying Happy Holidays, we will be screaming Homeless for the Holidays. And the "Manager" won't even respond to emails. This company does not care at all about its employees and is pure evil. ...

Who in their right mind names a company "Happy Transcriptions?" In this day and age, all I see is "sad" MTs and, in my opinion, if "Happy Transcriptions" is still happy, they can only be messing even more with us poor "sad" MTs. All I can say is I am so "happy" I am so close to being on my way out of MT! ...

Am I the only one who feels that life is not happy at Happy Transcription? I love the work, but the owner is totally unprofessional and needs to revamp the organization. ...

Just got word from the hospital where my full-time coding job is that we will be laying off and/or terminating employees, eliminating positions and changing others. Why, oh why, do companies always do this around the holiday time? It gets more and more sad and more frightening daily, doesn't it, seeing more and more good people out of work and such a lack of prospects for employment. ...

I usually never have NJA but in the past two weeks, have had it 2 times. ...

Here's a link to holidays in India. My opinion? Don't work on these days. It's the closest thing you can get to a strike. Could be interesting. http://www.travelindia-guide.com/holiday_calendar.aspx ...

Just got the email today that effective 10/01/2010, my MTSO (whom I will not name) will no longer be paying holiday pay (aka 1.5 cpl) for any holidays anymore b/c of "the economy." R U *** kidding me? First of all, I thought that the recession was officially over in 2009, but I could be mistaken. Secondly, I know holiday pay and OT and all that is a "perk" and not required by law to pay us, but yet they expect us MTs, er me, to work all major holidays for the same crappy cpl as always ...

Got denied for Thanksgiving request. I have put my life on hold for this company for 15 years. I have missed Christmases, Thanksgivings, family functions and fireworks and for what? To sit at my desk and wait for the work to trickle in? Or no jobs at all. I am not working another single holiday for this company. Let the Indians work them. I am not even sending in a request for them; I am just going on with my plans. What are they gonna do, send my work to India? Fi ...

Does anyone know if you get time and a half for work on holidays? ...

Hey MQ Mt's, Does anyone know if we get paid time and a half for New Year's Day? Couldn't find it on MQ Central. Thanks! ...

Does anyone know what the paid holidays are at Keystrokes? Thanks!! ...

The only 2 I want off are Thanksgiving and Christmas. How do they pay you? Minimum wage for 8 hours? ...

I thought 4th of July was one. I can't find them, looking in Ultipro. ...

Becoming a little/lot concerned. Realizing that we wiill have low work. Don't have much PTO built up because of having to use it for prior NJA. Wondering what will happen. I think a lot of us are in this same boat. We don't have much or none at alll built up and there will be little to no work. ARGH!!!!!! Another layer of stress. ...

Thank you for keeping me informed of the travels and adventures of Transcend. I am delighted that I have worked so diligently this year (when there has been enough work for me) to enable you to afford to take this coast-to-coast trip. I am sure you economized as much as you could by staying at low cost motels/hotels, eating at very inexpensive restaurants, and using economy/red-eye flights and that you impressed your future investors by displaying your very thrifty side by havin ...

I have never been "required" to work holidays as a SE or IC, so I am wondering how the work loads are when you are an employee. I was recently offered a PT job as an employee, but I was told if I was scheduled to work, I would have to work. Well this year would have been both Thanksgiving and Christmas, which would really put a damper on my family gatherings. Checking in every few hours would not be a problem, but actually missing Thanksgiving dinner at my mom's would be d ...

Supposedly, Obama WAS hoping to make Indian markets accessible for American businesses, to help create jobs in the U.S. ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? Obama is not helping us, but doing the opposite. This is during the time MQ MTs had to work because MTs in India had a Holiday, FOR 5 DAYS. We are lukcy to get Thanksgiving off and when we are scheduled to work?? WE HAVE NO WORK. Obama's India Visit Coincides With National Holiday Posted by ryang on Nove ...

My company was bought by Nuance. We are now told we either have to work entire shift on a holiday or take PTO. Is everyone being told this? Are the other big companies going this route too? It was bad enough having hlidays with no pay, but now, to work or take what little PTO is accumulated? Any suggestions! Merry Christmas to all! ...

Dictator apologized to the family for not spending more time with them when they found out a young loved one had terminal cancer. 12/24 visit. I seriously had to get up and walk around and cry before I could finish the report. My best friend was diagnosed with the same disease before Thanksgiving last year. Her demise was inevitable, but what was left of her quality of life was compromised by the lack of health care personnel, including her PCP, during to the holidays. I find it ironic that ...

I cannot find this documented in my files or on company website. What are they besides: New Years July 4th Thanksgiving Christmas Is it Easter, Memorial Day and Labor Day? ...

If you run out of work for over 15 minutes, you're supposed to fill out a ticket & take the rest of the day off, without even checking to see if work comes in later? Won't they be mad that you didn't check back since it's a holiday? But then on the other hand, if they've made you clock out & take PTO instead, then I guess you couldn't check back even if you wanted to...? I don't really understand the point in making everyone work holid ...

I was hired last December. I could have sworn the recruiter said "7 paid holidays" and 25% pay increase (1 cpl increase - big friggin whoop) for working a holiday. ...

Happy Holidays everyone! - MSmt
