a thought on who gets called for testing.. $$$ - MTSMNP
Posted: Mar 11, 2014
I wonder if those of us who have a higher PTO hourly rate may be pushed to the side, as they screen thru those who get a lower rate.. Its always about the dollar, bottom line. Interesting that Tier 2's seem to be getting responses. Save the Tier 3 and lower hourly PTO rate for the trenches?
should be save theTier 3 and HIGHER hourly PTO for trenches. NM - MTSMNP

Everytime they've separated us into "new positions," - sm
[ In Reply To ..]it seems like a big group gets laid off - usually the newly created position. That really makes me leery.
And why would a company filing bankruptcy be paying - sm
[ In Reply To ..]numerous people 20 hours a week to train? That doesn't seem smart...?
part of the restructure plan.. moving/focus on coding - MTSMNP
[ In Reply To ..]to show creditors we have a plan for the future, aside from transcription, which we all know is defunct. Business strategy
I think they want every MT to be an MME so one person can - do both. Kinda two for the price SM
[ In Reply To ..]of one. Maybe why they dont want their MMEs to go into coding.
Why do you think they don't want MMEs going into coding? - anon
[ In Reply To ..]There have been several MMEs who sent in their resumes and were invited to test. Why invite them to test if they don't want them to code?
I don't get PTO so what does that matter, - parttimemt
[ In Reply To ..]i don't think that matters.
I thought only full-time MTs were eligible for the coding program. - nm
[ In Reply To ..]x
not sure, don't care anyway. Good luck to those that want to do it - anon
[ In Reply To ..]I'm not one of them
?? if they pay us our PTO rate for training, and... duh - MTSMNP
[ In Reply To ..]they could hire 60 great workers where they would have to pay them $8 an hour, versus another bunch of great workers who would have to be paid $11 an hour, which ones do you think they'd choose? Do I really have to explain that?
Maybe they will pay your state's minimum wage, who knows - anon
[ In Reply To ..]did it say anywhere the pay during training?
Yes, 4 hours a day of your benefit rate - for training
[ In Reply To ..]Then you work another 4 in your regular MT job for production pay.
After the 3 months training you transition to full-time coding apprenticeship (no mention of that pay rate anywhere). Then you have 90 days to pass QA or ??? The or is in question. You may or may not get to go back to being an MT.
There is risk involved here.
yikes, wonder how much the apprenticeship is, scary - anon
[ In Reply To ..]and possibly no job later so you are let go. Double scary
Maybe that is another revenue stream - Surprise!
[ In Reply To ..]train you, then let you go, and demand their money back? At interest? plus a restocking fee and any other fee they can dream up? Hahaha
Yep, Risk-O-Rama. - nm
[ In Reply To ..]
Yes, it said pay is your hourly PTO rate for training. nm - MTSMNP
[ In Reply To ..]nm
Yes but the apprenticeship is not part of the "training" - anon
[ In Reply To ..]Training pay of your benefit rate is only for the first 3 months. After that, you move over to apprenticeship and no one has mentioned what the pay will be for that. It very well could be minimum wage.
If I were a betting woman, I would say $10-12 hr - during apprenticeship.
[ In Reply To ..]However, I say that not having a clue how coders at MM are paid.
If it is production then, yeah, it will end up being minimum wage.
If it is hourly, tops $12 and probably $10.
In most professions apprentices aren't paid much. - In the old days, they often lived with - SM
[ In Reply To ..]the business owner they were serving under. Maybe those of us about to lose our homes after working as MTs for these slimeballs will get invited up to live with them in their palatial estates in the Hamptons.
Oooohhh, I like that idea. Pull up some floor - in the Hamptons.
[ In Reply To ..]Gotta love the gallows humor on this board.

So-called Testing
Jan 29, 2012
Let me see if I got this right. You send me a few voice files. You send me a few templates. You send NO other instructions whatsoever. I wing it, based on my years of experience and common sense. The fact that I left out a blurb the speaker "always" wants in there (but never dictated) causes me to fail your so-called test? A blessing in disguise I think. You should add "needs to be a mind reader" in your job post. ...

They have to know that I would hate to go back there with all this wishy-washy stuff; it is almost like they did it on purpose so that it would be a year and they could see if they could get something for nothing.
