Is this 2012?? The entire communications phone, TV and now MQ have gone bonkers today! sm - ververyoldMQMT


Posted: Sep 26, 2010

Very strange things going on where I live in the South.   This morning AT&T phone is not working right, My unfortunate status as on dial up is hopeless and the two phone lines I have seemed to be crossing each other.  Bad static, fax line noises.  Trying to connect and can get only 19K!!!   Can't get anything to pull up.   Called Support and addressed this problem.  Called AT&T and they did say there are problems in this area, and it might be until Friday evening Oct 2 before they are fixed!!!  That's how many people are ahead of me to fix problem.  Now I thought I would try and get on again, got 46K and then stupid DQS gives me this cannot update profile message.  I then said ignore, and get NJA!!!   I seriously wonder if these communication problems are not global??   Oh, did I mention, our TV is not getting communication right either.  The atmosphere?   That's whay I said, is it 2012 already??   (Not that I buy into that world end/change theory)..

 

LOL - MT

Our television is doing some very strange things as well, as are the phones. The phones have been a bit strange for a while, but the TV thing is new. We have DVR and it's acting very, very strange, like nothing we've ever seen before.

Maybe this 2012 thing is right, but let's not think about that.

Exit Interview Phone Call Today
Aug 06, 2012

I left MM a few weeks ago and today got a call. They asked lots of questions about how satisfied or unsatisfied I was with MM and I answered them all as honestly as I could. When they asked if I thought any of their practices were illegal or unethical...I told them that hiring people to work for you and then expecting them to use their PTO or go without pay when there was not enough work was extremely unethical. Especially when you have many MTs with NJA daily and others with mandatory OT someti ...

Why Nuance Communications Ate A Poison Pill
Sep 20, 2013

I'm with this guy on how ridiculous Nuance's CEO pay is and I can actually understand this video, kind of. Nuance apparently enacted an anti-takeover provision limiting power of anyone with 20% or more share of stock to dilute their voting rights. They do not want that guy Icahn, who wants Apple to buy Nuance, to have power to persuade them to sell. Also, Nuance are apparently actually trying to protect their right to pay huge executive compensation way out of whack with performance ...


Are Nuance Communications Executives Overpaid?
Dec 03, 2013

Here is an article of interest to stockholders of Nuance. Money quote:________ "For better or worse, every time you buy a stock, you're effectively endorsing the underlying organization's practices. If you are a Nuance shareholder, you're endorsing the fact that five executives have gotten rich at the expense of the company's profitability. This practice may have undermined shareholder wealth, which hasn't been to your benefit. In addition, this practice is not nec ...


Open Letter To Transcend/ Rewards And Communications

Finally, after 2 days, I found the list of the new teams they created for communications and rewards.  The Rewards team will have it easy as there are no rewards.  All you need to know about winning a contest is to know who the names on the list of people they want to give a little extra to and you will have the winner.  It is nothing about meeting the criteria for the current game being played, it is all about favorites..   As far as communications, that is a differen ...

Maybe if MModal hired fewer employees from Microsoft they could afford to pay transcriptionist better and allow for cost of living raises.  I have been a transcriptionist for going on 30 years and this company is one of the reasons we can't make a living wage.  I am so tired of hearing the term "industry standard" because in the past when I worked with other companies and directly in-house I was paid more.  Just because it is the "industry standard" does not make it right. &n ...
