Don't be shy, how many took at least 1 cent base pay cut - SeaMT

Posted: Jun 15, 2012

After becoming Nuance employee?

I'm curious if any 9-centers (and up) got to keep their pay after mergers.

Went from 11.5 straight and 8.5 edited...

Recently applied for UE due to 50% pay reduction. All the work I get is edited, paid at the 4.45 (I think) rate, so that actually puts me at less than 50% what I used to make. Will update if I receive any UE benefits. Clearly, I am struggling financially, so I am praying to receive some benefits. Can't find another job to save my life. Stuck.

UE - headed that way

Please keep us updated. A lot of us are wondering what is in store for us. Thanks!

DO NOT get discouraged, folks!!!! My unemployment HAS BEEN APPROVED. For those of us who have not been getting work provided by our employer during our scheduled shifts, the term used by the unemployment people is "underemployed". FILE, FILE, FILE!!

update - ANON

I was denied because I still work 40 hours a week. Originally, I was told I may be eligible, but then some one else told me I was not. I haven't gotten anything official, was just told over the phone that I could not collect because I work 40 hours.

Mine went from 9.25/line to 8.5/line, not quite a whole cent lower but close. I no longer work here though.

And would anyone comment on how long it took for their pay to be cut after being aquired? Trying to plan ahead... Thank you.

was making 10.2 cpl everyone was changed to 8 cpl ... now merger with Transcend has us worried again...will we get cut back down??

Probably. Transcend has a lot of suit salaries to - cover so it has to come from somewhere.

Hoping that some of these suits that sold us down the river will have their karma catch up to them and be next to be unemployed or underemployed themselves!

Don't count on it. Those suits are sitting pretty as a - result of this merger.
