Whatever company you work for, aside from this board, you need to let everyone know what is going on in this industry. However you do that, write, phone calls, email, lawsuits, twitter, facebook. Get the word out about what goes on at your company, in this industry, and how it has affected you. ...
There were recently a few posts that I was interested in and all followed posting guidelines and all comments also followed guidelines, and now they have been deleted. A couple of these posts contained information about a certain MTSO. I am starting to suspect that certain MTSOs get preferential treatment and/or they are friends with this site owner or moderator, or possibly the moderator is part of this company. This same situation has occurred previously.
Hence, if this does ...
I guess I could just rest on my laurels (whatever those are) and let it be but must complain, yes complain, about the totao lack of concern for those of us who have had our pay cut 1/2 to 2/3 of what it used to be. We absolutely need someone to represent us. ...
I was working on some macros and needed a command for changing text to Arial 11. I'm thinking "hmmmm, Arial, A." Let's make it Alt+A.
Does it tell me that's already assigned to something? Nooooooo. I totally forgot it's part of the spell checker commands. So now, when I do spell checks, I don't have the option to add words to the dictionary.
How do I get Alt+A back to it's original state? I deleted the macro I'd made, ...
This board is not quiet because the coders are working. It is quiet because coders can't post here.
This board has a problem with a small number of people, apparently not coders, who have a problem with any and all positive postings. The description below that they jump on the posts like a pack of hyenas was very apt. They attack the OP and all responses until they derail the thread and either get it deleted or obstruct the original discussion. This has prett ...
I got an e-mail this morning with one of those charts where they give you a whole bunch of data about QA submissions, audits, blanks, lines per minute, etc. But one category was "Text Deleted Jobs". Does anyone know what that means?
...
Why is it, that when you apply for a job, the company doesn't have the decency to contact you back, after jumping through hoops to complete their testing? ...
someone had the instructions for finding out about the STATUS on DocQManage. I do not have the status. Could someone walk me through this to see how to find out about the people working on my account? Any help would be appreciated!!! ...
It would be nice if we could read all the posts in the current month. Sometimes I want to follow a particular thread, but it falls off the bottom of the page and cannot be seen.
Can this capability be enabled?
...
Every time I look to see what's out there, as far as job requirements it seems to get worse and worse. I just wanted to put something up here which is what this all reminds me of... thank you for putting up with my sick humor... Here's what I think when I read jost postings:
WANTED: MT!!!! This job is For YOU! Why wait in the cold outside, freezing in your home which is a box under the highway when you can bask in the warmth of our SWEAT SHOP!!!
Yes! We ...
I am amazed at how many people ask the same question year after year about company after company. Companies have until 1/31 to mail W2s. The bigger the company, the longer it takes to finish up the previous year's books and have W2s ready to print. It takes a lot of time to print, assemble, stuff, seal, stamp and mail an entire company's worth of W2s. Smaller companies often take just as long because they don't have a large accounting department or the manp ...
First of all, it sickens me and I can't use the language I want to use about this or I'll get banned.
A few weeks ago I failed an audit just under the 99%. I started getting worried, and I confided in my CCM - told her I was worried about my pay being docked if I ended up on 100% QA. I also told her why all of a sudden are they unhappy with my work when I have been here over 10 years and have always passed my audits. The reasons for failing were ridiculous, and I tol ...
There have been a few times since I left MModal when I've wondered whether I did the right thing by leaving. I still come here to see what's going on, and seeing all the posts makes me know I did the right thing by leaving. Nothing seems to have changed for the good, and I doubt they ever will. God bless you each and every day for putting up with this company's mess and disrespect. ...
for about 2-3 days. You all need to seriously call in sick for 2-3 days. I have emails to about 1,000 MTs. When and IF we get more work coming in, we need to seriously take off by stating we are sick and cannot work.
Something has to be done and this is the only thing I can think of that might trigger something for the higherups to get a CLUE that we are human beings.
...
It seems like when someone comes on here to say that they are getting out of MT and studying coding or nursing or something, someone always has something negative to say about what they are pursuing. Well, what jobs are "safe" or good career opportunities. There has to be SOMETHING that can't be sent overseas or hires someone without experience, etc. Right?! ...
Yes, they do need help. The work has gone from NJA to multiple notices of needing help on specific accounts. However, they are hiring for people to do speech recognition work on the M-Modal platform - their version of this platform. See discussions below. This platform is nonproductive and cumbersome. If someone from this company can make as much money per hour on this M-Modal platform as they were on the previous speech recognition platform, please, by all means, step up ...
