Just saw the Nuance ad on here. WOW

Just a dangling carrot that will rot and disappear - before you get anywhere near the

Has anyone received a signing bonus? - What were the hoops? nm

As a new hire I found it impossible to work and - budget not knowing what my pay was

each week. There are too many variables on this stupid grid and depending how they felt that week decided on whether you were at or below minumum wage. Needless to say, I didn't stick it out to find out about the bonus, but the recruiter was very "delicate" in explaining it (delicate as in I think she knew there wasn't a snowballs chance in ever receiving it). I think they advertise it knowing nobody will last long enough to get it. Once the new payscale was implemented, they chased off the loyal employees and new ones probably had to make a decision between starving or filing bankruptcy or moving on.

After reading all the feedback of the posts about Nuance, I am extremely happy that I never fell for their "bait and switch" outlook on employment. It is absolutely pathetic ...

I'm so glad you didn't fall for it. I wish I would have paid attention to these boards a long time ago. The inevitable has happened to me, just as it has so many before me. Not sure why I thought I could escape it. Rock bottom (minimum wage pay/OOW) seems to come for every MLS, though the timing does seem to vary depending on account/platform. I hope the newbies that come here actually pay attention and believe what is said and save themselves the heartache of it all.

Keep in mind too that in having a watchful eye on the transcription markets that Nuance stock was downgraded earlier in the week to a "hold" status at a C- rating. Not good. How can they possibly afford to pay anyone a $2,000 sign-on bonus?

Does anyone know when you get paid the $500 sign on bonus for working the hours between 12pm and 3am? Do you have to work for so many months first? If so, why do they call it "sign on" bonus? ...

TransTech in TX is offering a $500 sign on bonus for experienced oncology MTs & MEs. Perhaps the tables are turning. I'm already working as one, but am not the least bit happy with the account as the reports are only a few seconds long and the busy work between each one takes longer than the transcription - thus you are not paid for half the work you do. MTSOs need to recognize this and that there is competition, i.e. TransTech! Do I hear $600!? ...

On the other job seeking board, there is a company offering a $100 sign-on bonus if you have knowledge of Arrendale TA+ dictation platform. I remember "back in the day" getting a $1000 sign-on bonus and I didn't have to have knowledge of the platform. Pathetic what this profession has come to. ...

I work for Nuance already, so I'm not interesteed in signing on, more interested in signing off as soon as I can. I heard, though, that the company is offering sign-on bonus for new employees. Is that so? That sounds ironic. Is this the only company out there that gives sign-on bonus because they are so desperate for employees, or should I say semi-slaves? ...

I am almost at my 90 days and wondering when I should be expecting my 500$ sign on bonus I was promised... they said when I was hired, after 90 days as long as I was meeting my line count and 99% accuracy. Is this correct? And how long after my 90 days do I get my 500$ sign on bonus check. ...

Nuance hiring and offering $2000 sign-on bonus at the same time they are cutting our pay back lower than ever???? Wow! I don't even know what to say. I've been working on the same account going on 12 years and now I will make way less than what I did when I started. But if you are new to the game you can get a $2000 bonus which if you figure what they are about to start paying us this time around could equal months of work for us who have been here all along working hard ...

I was offered a job recently with Nuance and offered a sign on bonus after 90 days of employment. With all the bad reviews and low pay according to a lot of people on this board, I was wondering if anyone has ever received a sign on bonus? Do they actually pay it after the 90 days? I like the idea of working 30 hours a week, but thought it odd that I was not even offered 40 hours, just told that it would be a 30 hour work week. Also find it kind of strange that there ...

For a while they were advertising for help hot and heavy with big sign on bonuses. Now, no big help wanted ads and work is slim on many of our accounts. I guess not enough people have quit and they are overstaffed (surprise surprise). Those people trying to get the sign on bonus are probably trying to stick it out as best they can (as I would too if it were me). In the meantime, an awful lot of us are suffering from OOW situations. This Fiasco stuff sucks, but in ...

I found out how to print my *.acl entries. I am now having trouble with trying to move what I have on my flash drive to my laptop that is Word 2000. I found where the *.acl file is (think it is under the MSO1033). But before I make the copy to it, I thought I would try putting in an entry on the laptop in autocorrect and trying to find the file again and that would give me the date I modified it which is today. I have tried every which way and no matter how many entries I put into autocorrect or ...

I ask because I took a job paying 4.5 to 5 cpl for SR using Dictaphone Enterprise Express Editor. I was told that the minimum productivity for SR was 2000 lines per day and for typed lines was 1000 lines per day. Of course, I never get straight transcription. The most I have been able to do in SR on a good day was 1760 lines and that was being chained to my PC for 8 straight hours with only a 30 minute lunch. I'm thinking that maybe I could do 2000 lines in a day if ...

At Mmodal, our minimum requirement is 1200 lines per day. That's an awful big difference! Do people have trouble making 2000 lines at TTS? Is this a way to get out of providing benes? (I ask because I worked for a small MTSO years ago who used that method.) Or are the platform and accounts so great that it is actually achievable on a regular basis? ...

All day today I've been having a problem with my keyboard disconnecting. When I remove/replace the plug, it'll reconnect for a little while, sometimes good for hours, sometimes only a few seconds. I know it's not the USB outlet because I've tried them all w/the keyboard and it still happens. I did update the driver and the optional windows update for it but it didn't make a difference. I've also hooked it up to another computer and it doesn&# ...
