Got a postcard in the mail today - sm


Posted: Nov 15, 2012

I'm still laughing. I worked there for 2 weeks and couldn't get out of there fast enough. It shows a very happy woman sitting comfortably at her desk smiling away. She can't possibly work there! It says work from home on a flexible schedule (I don't think so!), competitive CPL rates (oh really?), growth opportunities (again, I don't think so). They are also offering a $500 sign-on bonus for full-time hire by 12/31/12, to be paid following 90 days of employment. Oh, one last thing, they are looking for candidates with a positive attitude, guess that rules me out when it comes to Nuance. Undecided

Hey, I got one too and I never worked there at all - how did they get my address?

I work for the other big wig and do not think there is a lesser of the two evils, they are pretty much the same! Sorry to both, I am leaving the field and not looking back!

Guessing AHDI - sm

I'm with you. I'm out of MT as soon as I finish school!

what the heck? There hasn't been work for months. - anon

This is crazy. A sign-on bonus?

I have been bounced around from account to account and none of them have enough work.

Flexible schedule? My TL gives me the old ring-a-ling if I get up to pee.

I wonder what the heck is going on. Why hire right before the holiday slow down?

Work will be coming..... - lindab

The hospital system I for is going with Nuance. All current MTs are being laid off, probably Jan 1 (we have no definite date yet) but that would explain the push to hire FT by December 31. Very sad..we had excellent jobs with great benefits and good pay. Needless to say, none of us are going to Nuance.

and this work will be going to India so. - Happy Holidays NOT

At least you made the right choice and will be able to file for UE while you look for another job. I was an IC when my hospital chose cheap--- Nuance (and therefore not eligible for UE) and lost 50% of my pay overnight. Try paying a mortgage on that. Really, I applaud you for not choosing to work for Nuance. Completely the right choice.

New E-mail Today From Payroll Stating New PTO Rate
Jul 23, 2010

Did anybody get an e-mail like this today?  Just about 4 PM when I was starting my shift, I got a letter from payroll saying I would now be getting $7.50 an hour when I take PTO, when before I was told by payroll, it would be $9.50 an hour. This is the rate you have when you take a module or are in an MT conference. Anyways, ever since I started with Spheris, I got $9.50 an hour and have continued at this pay even after Medquist took over.  They said it is based on production since De ...

About a week or so ago I got a postcard in the mail, inviting me to apply at Transcend. Is this a good place to work? I won't say what company I work for now but it's much talked about here and it's the pits to work for. So, is Transcend any better?  Anybody have any input on this?  I did go to the website on the postcard they sent me (it was a personalized web addy that contained my name) and filled out a short questionnaire about my experience, etc., and they said som ...

Doubt he will even read it but if he does, it was nice knowing all of you. I did not use any bad language, but I did speak my mind. I'm not even totally sure the big picture includes MTs/MEs so I guess we should all be looking to change occupations. Either way, sooner or later I will be hired outside of this industry.  Very sad indeed.  It was quite a career until ASR or should I say MQ reducing pay for ASR and buying up every other company out there.  I did state it shou ...
