Too bad they got rid of Indian team leads. My US team lead is the worst.
As a former OSi team lead.....
I will say that the main reason I left the company is because I knew it was not right to ask people to work extra when they could not report it on their time sheets. And, yes, an account coordinator, has definitely recently asked people to work extra but not report it. This has been going on a long time. Time should be recorded as time actually working not what you put on a time sheet. That is ridiculous. The majority of my MT's did work extra but did they get paid overtime? No! This is SO not right!!!  ');>
she did it while a team lead too

What exactly is a Team Lead?

team lead
You have it all figured out. How can I even respond to such brilliance. Until you understand what my job entails and how much I'm paid, might be smarter just to stay quiet. You know about 1% of what I do for Cardioscribes.
Team Lead Help
So, if you don't mind me asking, to make sure I go the proper route, when you say team lead, are you referring to our STM? I have not been with the company very long and I am not familiar with the position of a team lead. I plan to take your advice. Please email me if you would rather communicate that way. Thank you.
Response to team lead
You say that you contact everyone who is assigned to you - maybe the short circuiting is happening in HR. Someone is offered a job and then the HR person doesn't forward appropriat paperwork or email to the necessary people.
That's bull...sorry..but I'm team lead and
spread it elsewhere
Your team lead/boss
In general, do your bosses respond to your e-mails with questions about your accounts, etc? My boss does not answer any e-mails. All of my e-mails have been our accounts and not just B.S.
I'm an OSi team lead but can't leave
but I can leave OSi and have received 2 job offers that I'm mulling over right now. I have to make a decision by tomorrow before the jobs are snapped up by someone else. They are running out of spots for new hires.
Have you asked your team lead or ROM? sm
When I started I did a few reports, they were checked and then I was opened up to the pool within the first day.
Um..as a team lead you are paid
hourly so of course the low amount of dictation available does not impact your bottom line.
Team Lead Help with Cherrypicking
If you are a team lead for the Web, can you tell us who else can we tell if our STM doesn't seem to want to do anything about it when you have complained? What other option do we have?

You're so silly. Your a team lead
and a front for an Indian business. You should be ashamed of yourself. Answer this -- their website gives a US address. You know where the work is coming from and managed - I don't have a problem with the Indian MTs and work -- it's the false advertisement. So, you're saying you actually condone and have no problem representing a piece of the sham?
Also, as a TL for this company, you are not portraying yourself in a leadership position -- you should be portraying yourself as an example and mentor. If the Indian angle doesn't put a sour note on this company, your posts and representation of them does. Good luck in your lovely position.
At my co, I would make $5 per hour LESS to be a lead vs. production pay. nm
pppp
Hey KS Team Lead - I really think you should stop responding. You are making yourself
and your company look ridiculous and unprofessional to the extreme! If this is indicative of how KS does business, it's no wonder they are flat.
Keystrokes lead MTs and management team are great. I am sure I
will be flamed but I really like my lead and have never had anything but positive experiences with anyone in Keystrokes.
The nay-sayers will start their bashing now I am sure.
I'd ask your team lead. She would know but I will tell you that we're already out of work toda
guess everyone wanted the bonus. I find it sad that we'll get back logged because no one wants to work a regular schedule, yet come a holiday bonus, and everyone is obviously working. It's too bad we couldnt have that bonus rate as a standard. You'd see a lot more motivated people in this business. Most of us are burned out on pounding the keyboard all day and gain so little. I guess so much for a holiday bonus when there is no work. Kind of defeats the purpose..Oh well...I'm vented for today. 
It is correct information, someone accidentally sent out an email from their Indian Team lead.

As a shift lead I made $15 an hour, but did QA plus lead duties...
I also worked terrible hours with no differential for them. I think it just matters on the company.
opppss meant purple team, not red team.
Sorry, I meant the purple team.
? for any lead at Keystrokes. What does a lead do?
Do they do QA, mentor, or ....?
You can e-mail me privately if you like.
Some of us choose neither to lead, nor be lead!
I guess I just don't have that 'pack mentality'.
No, some of the rest of us can do that too.
But if she types 2,400 in 8 hours, to be full time she will have to type 26,400 in an average pay period and I think that is requiring to much as a minimum just because she is fast. And expecting her to slow down just to spread it into 40 hours a week is silly.
They are just like all the rest: Pay so so,
tech support okay, accounts okay, people okay, not great and can be rude. Do not dare get cancer is all I can say.
Do you know something the rest of
If you do, please share it. Otherwise, please, we have enough to worry about. Why should I get out now. Nothing has changed. If it does change, then I will act accordingly, but acting in a blind panic right now is wasted energy. If and when it does change, then I will find another company or get my own accounts. Otherwise, I am not going to freak out.
DSG is just like the rest of them
They only answer what they feel like answering.
Here we go. Let it rest, will ya? Please?
With sugar on top! Everything you said was valid and great. But please just let this thread chill out.
Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but.sm
she was very good to me and for that I am thankful.
And who exactly is the rest?
Are you referring to the rest of us who refuse to work for unethical companies who ignore the labor laws?
Why don't you tell the rest of us who have no work
which account you are working on so I'll know which account to request to be moved to. I am constantly without work and nobody seems to give a crap. Everytime I tell my lead I'm having a problem, either with the system locking up or no work, she lies and says she has the same problem so I'll shut up about it. This is really aggravating.
Well you should share with the rest of us then.
his employer and we pay over $600 a month out of his check for it and his employer pays part of it too. When I worked in a hospital I had great insurance for a little of nothing. I have kept in touch with my friends from the hospital who still work there and they tell me that is no longer the case. They pay a lot now for insurance that is not very good.
Oh give it a rest -
I posted just for KICKS for the record, because I sort of EXPECTED the (mostly) ridiculous posts received so far...
Just for kicks, I wanted to see if the COMPLAINERS on the board all the time would step up - or if they just wanted to continue to whine.
Please share with the rest of us!
I see the same stuff as the rest of you sm
I do have an MT who has a tenuous grasp on plain English grammar and punctuation. If I see 2-days time rather than 2 days' time one MORE TIME I think I will scream! I have sent loads of feedback and on about every thing else, she has seemed to listen, but this one thing...
Then you have the really good MTs whose work is outstanding, but they are the kind who won't show up every day.
I am still MTing quite a bit and have a reputation as being very fast and very accurate, but I doubt myself on both those things. I don't read my work all the time and I still have raves on audits. I attribute that to skill and to the fact that I CARE about my work. Why are there so few of us?
QA has taught me many things about the level of my skills and for that, I grateful. I wish I could be a better teacher as a QA person and help others get to where I am.
Give it a rest. (sm)
All opinions are welcome here. Just because you don't share the same opinion doesn't mean you can make it personal.

They need to give it a rest already...sm
Just goes to show, they are not getting inudated with resumes. That place is a pain in the patottie and will always be, who cares about Nuance.....
Give it a rest OK?
I was hired for Radiology, but by the time they fixed the bugs in the platform (about a week) the client decided to do their own VR. Guess what? I got transferred to work I had less experience with and left to the mercy of merciless QAs...
Gradually the patience and extra effort I made to make this relationship work waned as did the we really appreciate your patience and effort rah rah's from management.
YOU may love your job and have no problems, but please don't lecture those of us who had a much different experience despite OUR best efforts.
Oh...okay..then...with your case at rest...
we won't have to read any more of such ridiculous babble.
Give it a rest...
why not enjoy the day off? You are constantly complaining about TT so please leave already! I for one always look forward to a little extra time off when work is slow..no big deal if you are prepared for it. Work always tends to be slow at this time of the year anyway. Enough with acting like a child...obviously this company isn't for you. Call **** and let her know how you feel, stop coming here.
At least now this thread can be put to rest. sm
I knew from the first post that something didn't add up. I just hope everyone who followed it, finally realizes how bogus it all was and that LM is still the same reputable company it's always been.
This is one sad/sorry thread.
Don't know where the rest of my post went but...
I would post your question on another site. Too much bitterness and hate towards pregnant MTs here.
Well, if you are on the DEP you are running out of work also just like the rest of us do.
oh boy.. no clue where the rest of my post is.. sm
maybe I'll have time to rewrte it then... hmmm
Have been with the rest and now with the best, Keystrokes! Without a doubt!

MT is not any different from the rest of the working world
The first time I raised my children, I ran my own day care. I was there with them as they grew up and if they needed to be at home, I had the flexibility of staying home with them. In order to stay in business and compete with other DCs in the area, I had to became a not-for-profit business. After owning it for 5 years, I actually started earning a salary, not just gas money. When they were older and I sold the business, all assets were - by law - transferred to another non-profit business. I never had the type of benefits or earned as great a salary then as I do now, and I worked twice as hard.
Now I am raising my grandchild while working at home as an MT. No matter what company where I work, I will not work unless things are in place that encourages my success. If I am not making $20-$30/hr, I am at the wrong company. Because I am an IC, everything is a tax write off. The total amount I owed in federal taxes last year was less than $300, and for state was $400.
I can certainly relate to AnnieM! and the points she raises. It is up to each of us individually to make our own way, but it is that way whether we work as MTs or as a pharmacy tech or on the assembly line putting together cars. Companies make profits off of our work -- and I have yet to see a non-profit MTSO, pharmacy, car company, etc. My car is 10 years old. I don't have new furniture or carpet (and I won't until little bit is older), and I have one credit card that pays my bills for the rewards that is paid off each month. I don't know of any other profession where at least a bachelor's degree is required that would allow me to stay home to work and provide better pay and benefits/flexibility. If we all got BS degrees, then maybe we could expect and get more...but then we wouldn't be MTs anymore, would we?
I LOVE the platform, the rest is what I do not like
I second that!!
Give it a rest please - sounds like
racism. They need a job just like you do for the very same reasons. Place the blame where it belongs: Greedy capitalists who will exploit where and when they need to in order to make more $ for the suits.
Glad YOU can pay bills. The rest of us..SM
are struggling big time. You are weighing the fact that you don't have to pay for daycare and can go on field trips against everything else that's exploitative about this busines (I won't even go into outsourcing, although that's a major problem). Would you advise your children to become an MT?
You really should give it a rest already. As another poster said, get another job. sm
You have been harping about the same points over and over again. I used to work for TT, and I thought it was a good company. You obviously do not feel that way, so do yourself (and them) a favor and find a place that meets your needs. Life is too short to work at some place that makes you as miserable as you seem to be.
Good luck -- hope 2009 brings you great things.
