What is this about?

The alleged "termination list" mentioned below. - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
who knows if it is true or not. This board isn't exactly a great source for accurate information.

I wouldn't be surprised - me

[ In Reply To ..]
if it was all made up. The person who was terminated did not know what "performance management" is. The hysteria on this board runs rampant.

Exactly. How can you work for MM and not know - what performance management is?

You can be a good MT on a buy-out platform. That is how. - nm

Yes, but once you become an MM employee - policies apply to you too...sm

[ In Reply To ..]
meaning if you are not performing up to standards or meeting expectations you will be subject to verbal warning, written warning and/or performance management. Either way, you should know what it is and that typically is the route they take BEFORE termination.

And I bet that is the route they take NOW before termination. - Not that they have to. nm

Also in regards to that supposed "termination list" - see msg

[ In Reply To ..]
The person who posted last week about being terminated at least acknowledged that she had BOOST mentoring and that TSM informed her that her lines had been low, although she admitted to not realizing it because she was only paying attention to her stats that are sent out on a weekly basis.

Point being, she gave a more logical explanation for her termination than today's poster did. Not calling today's poster a liar, just wondering why she did not give a more clear reason for being let go nor did she make mention of having ever recieved warnings.

Also, I believe the so called list is probably what one of the other posters mentioned - Meaning that it was just a list of MTs who have either quit or been let go who had equipment that needed to be returned such as computers.

If you are going to target a group of MTs to be fired, you certainly would not keep a running list and the supposed operator would not be at liberty to divulge that kind of information.

i am commiserating with you; that's all. - used to work for MQ

I agree, but it has been this way for a long ... - none

[ In Reply To ..]
time now. Unfortunate. I wouldn't take it personally though.

Been this way for a long time? Just that much more time to - get over expecting MTSO to tell truth. nm

What kind of post is this? Very tasteless thats - for sure.

[ In Reply To ..]

Of course it is not true and I for one dont expect it to be. - I work, deposit my check and live life. SM

[ In Reply To ..]
It doesnt matter to me if it is true or not. I do my job, deposit my check and do the things I want to do. Wording on an ad is nothing to me.

Is'nt it against the rules to take posts from a company - add and post it with malicious intent?

[ In Reply To ..]
If not, it should be.

karma - June

[ In Reply To ..]
You ever heard of karma? Be careful what you say, that's all I go to say!!!!!!!!!

I read OPs - intent

[ In Reply To ..]
completely differently that the rest of you so far. Isn't it just pointing out MM's hypocrisy. We all know it for all the MTSOs, but here it is in black and white from their own website.

yes, that was my intent. I apologize to those - I have offended. OP (NM)

[ In Reply To ..]
.

I read OPs intent as commiserating with us - Nothing more

[ In Reply To ..]
That was my interpretation of it. You can hardly post anything on here without getting attacked.

Per OPs post - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
I dont have a problem with respect. No one at MM has ever disrespected me.

Teamwork - I work alone, independently so dont have an issue with teamwork.

Customer focus - I would say they are doing fairly well with that; they have a pretty good size clientele and I for one strive to do my best to keep clients on my account happy.

Integrity - Not real sure about the ethics part after reading about the recent terminations, but of course there are two sides to every story and then the truth. As for me, I have had no problems with the integrity part either.

Accountability - I accept responsibility for my work and actions and produce the best quality reports I possibly can and I am reliable in that I work my schedule and exceed the minimum line counts.

So how is it working for me? I would say pretty darn good.

M-Modal, things working out - Darkhorse

[ In Reply To ..]
I am sure this post was not intended maliciously at ALL! Need to put a muzzle on all of that oversensitivity. Any fool can see it was lifted directly from the job ads that they run on MTJobs. It's the same one all the time! As for me, well, I've been working for them for almost a month now, so I guess maybe too soon to tell, but all my equipment was furnished, I started getting direct deposit almost from day one, nobody calls and bugs me about what I am doing, the work is kind of slow but I have 2 other accounts so I just go over to them when I run out and keep watching my screen for another job to load. But I'll keep you posted when my 90 days are up...THEN we will see. Put it this way though, if this were my only job, I'd be living in a refrigerator box.

Things are working out great! I love working here and plan - on staying for a long time. Thanks for asking! nm

till I run out of work like everyone else - or they cut my pay

[ In Reply To ..]
I will stay here. I have work right now on not a bad account, and I have a good boss, and I get paid a decent rate. If any of that changes I'll be gone.

I dont see any of these people who hate it so much tearing - down the door to get out or

[ In Reply To ..]
find another job. So they must not hate it too much.

Whatever - Like you know our situation

[ In Reply To ..]
n1nn

How do you know what I have done? - You have no clue...

[ In Reply To ..]
I am tearing down doors trying to get out. I have had no work since the holidays. I am applying at every place I can think of and as soon as anything comes along, I AM ON IT!

You have no clue yet what we are going through. You will. Hopefully someone does not treat you with such disrespect.

Same people complaining here day in and day out. - One has to wonder what they are

[ In Reply To ..]
doing to better their situation. I mean honestly, who wouldn't wonder? The people on this forum have always been unhappy. I agree that lack of work is a legitimate concern, but if its not lack of work they they are finding other things to complain about. So it seems they are never happy no matter what.

and you know it is the same people - because??????

[ In Reply To ..]
*))

How on earth do you know who is complaining - day in and day out

[ In Reply To ..]
Seems to me that over the years, we have had a few episodes of "no work" and then posters stating that they are leaving or going to school, but how do you have any idea who is still here complaining or if these are all new people complaining?

If you have any sense about you, you would realize that work was shifted overseas leaving people without enough work to get their hours in. How could anyone be happy about that? Just hearing it scares the bejesus out of me. But all you do is criticize those poor people. What is the matter with you?

Posting complaints - instead of transcribing

[ In Reply To ..]
I love my job at MM. And I hate to be blunt, but maybe if those who complain on here about it so darn much, would actually get off of this board and transcribe a little, you might have a little more money in your pockets.

don't start that - there is no work

[ In Reply To ..]
now you have opened up a whole new can of worms.

Plus how do you know what shift I work??? - I am not supposed to be working right now!

love these know-it-alls....
