If MT companies do not give out raises, how do they sm
expect you to keep up with the cost of living? I've been at my company for 2 years and was shot down for a raise. I know others have been at their companies much long with no raises. If I worked at a hospital or clinic, I would have gotten a raise by now. Just something to show the appreciate me would be nice! Are all companies this greedy?

MDI-FL does not give any raises.
Platforms stink. Bad accounts. Nasty people to deal with. Very disorganized, poor training, a regular witch in the HR/payroll department who takes pride in being condescending and mean. Flexible? Depends whether you are teacher's pet or not. If not, you get the worst accounts they have. Forget communication. There is none, but never ask a question because you will get a wrong answer and still be in the dog house. They really need some lessons on how to treat people like people, not like you are a robot and want to work 24/7.
Do they ever give raises? nm

Yes they give raises; for example,
I received a nice raise after 30 days, and the starting cpl was already 9 cpl. Very generous to work for and you are treated respectfully, even if QA gives you constructive criticism. They are never demeaning or reprimanding, and believe me I have worked where QA people could care less how they make you feel. No so with MDI. I am here for life!
They do NOT give raises..
Met many who work for them and they have NEVER gotten a raise...ever....
MDI doesn't give raises.

Raises and Companies These Days ~
It seems to me that companies want to continue to make the same amount they've always made off of their MT's, times are tight, you will lose out before they do. And, unfortunately, you are replaceable. If they lose good, loyal MT's because of their practices, they probably shrug. It's not like it used to be. No gold watches or, for that matter, being paid what you are worth. :(
Wonder if those support in the office get any raises. We are paying their raises, huh?
you know they ARE getting raises!
Why don't these companies give us
all of the information right up front? Even if they can't give the exact pay, at least a range, along with the benefits. We wouldn't have to go through applying and testing over and over, and they wouldn't receive hundreds of resumes to go through for each job. It would save us all, the companies and the transcriptionists, a lot of
aggravation! Maybe I'm missing something, but it makes sense to me.
What companies out there give you (sm)
assigned work, as in a handful of dictators. I am looking to pick up some clinic work without large armies of dictators to get used to!
Thanks!
Can't you give her any names for companies? sm
You have been around and tried many - you should have some names to give yourself.
Can you give me the name of companies who are flexible in regards to
once you are done with your required lines or your own personal goal, but is less than 8 hours, allow you to stop at that point. Hope that makes sense. Say I can do 1500 lines in 6 hours, are there any companies who will allow me to quit once I get my 1500 lines? If so, would you share the names please?
when referring to Bad Companies, give the name.

Many companies other than "A" give computer

Any companies out there give birthday bonuses or anything? sm
My birthday is right around the corner and I would love to know how many companies out there take the time out to remember our birthdays. I understand that these companies might have many, many employess or ICs, but we are not just a number...or are we? Just curious to find out the good companies out there...
This attitude is the reason that many companies give nothing at all. sm
I worked for a company that gave a small bonus about 5 years ago. So many MTs complained about the size that the owner decided to never do anything again. I know of a few other owners that feel the same way.
I only have 10 employees, but I cannot afford a large bonus, so I am not giving anything at all. Believe it or not, most MTSOs do not make millions, live in mansions and eat bon-bons while their employees do all the work. There are times that my employees make more than I do. Not whining. Just stating facts.
Question: Are there any companies left out there that send give X-mas
presents? I sent my MTSO a christmas card last year and got a big fat nothing in return. Is it too much to expect a little something for the holidays, even if it's just a card?
Does anyone find it interesting how companies want ICs and then give you the schedule you are to
work. I thought by law you are not allowed to set a schedule for an IC. Seems to me they are getting the best of both worlds for a whole lot less because of benefits they are getting out of paying and all the things the government requires.
Some companies don't give that first check until 4 or 6 weeks have passed. Ck your contract. nm

What companies give an accurate EXText line count?
Either an accurate count or the option to check your own!
Considering some companies do give a weekly quota, maybe you shouldn't speak

I am curious as to what companies give at Christmas. Has anyone gotten a bonus/gift from their
company?
Give them a call. So many people switching companies all the HR depts must be really busy. nm

raises
best way to get a raise with MQ is to ask for it and keep asking. I don't know why they don't give "across the board" raises. The thing I have heard in the past is type more to make more. I say learn every work type you can and make yourself indispensable!
raises with MQ
would you mind telling which office that is? used to be in Houston and it closed down and now in Dallas. you had to ask for a yearly review. they didn't volunteer that info unless you asked. first time when i asked for a yearly review they got around to it 6 months later. gave me all kinds of BS why I didn't qualify for a raise. i asked for a yearly review this year and i was told that i sent over 20% to QA. all i have to say is that you were extremely lucky. are you SE or FT?
Who says ICs can get raises. You obviously
work at a small company to brag like you do. I just hate it when someone like you comes here and tells people that they can earn like you do only it takes a while. Well guess what I am not new to this. However, I don't have stable accounts. I did have but the company puts whomever they want on them and dole the work out. You can't get ahead. I was doing fine finally until they put another greedy MT on that account and now my good account and the one I depended upon for most of my earnings is now hardly anything. I resent this. Accounts are not yours. They belong to the company. Yet, you say you have stable accounts? My God. You are unreal.
Go peddle your lies to someone else.
raises
I don't think any of us TT employees want to say what we make. Every account is different. It really is nobody else's business what each of us makes. TT is very fair and we do get rewarded for good work. Didn't you used to work for us at one point, Olive Oyl? If you did, then you should already know that we are the best in the industry.
raises
You should probably ask Transtech this question directly, Olive Oyl. The reason the rest of us don't tell you what we make is because it is confidential to each of us. It really doesn't matter to me what anyone else makes, because I'm very happy here. Transtech is about SO much more than cpl. I don't think you're going to get the answers you want from any of us TT employees, which is why I suggest you make a list of all your questions and ask Transtech yourself. :)
COL raises
What companies have you or do you currently work for? Every company I talked to that does pay wages said there would be no raise in the future. If you want to email me . . . . . . I honestly don't want to fritter away my time and energy. I have worked very hard to get to where I am (as you know this is not an easy job to do) and am proud of the work I produce but I will not work for a few pennies. Perhaps I am wanting what will never happen.
Raises?
How are they with giving raises, is there any set protocol, or like MQ whenever they felt like it (never)?
WHO gives raises?? ;)
I've never heard of an MT company giving raises. Please advise if I'm wrong. Whenever I wanted a raise (at any company over the last 18 years) I worked more. My arms and hands are now shot, so I have to make do with what I have, no matter how big the incoming bills are.
LOL! Just had to comment. It was a funny question to me. :)
Raises
I'm lucky enough to be an employee of a small local company and I get yearly raises. Good luck with yours.
Raises
Is a year too soon to ask for a raise or should the company offer one automatically? I just do not want to ask but I am afraid if I don't, I will never get one. Any thoughts?
Ain't no raises in the MT biz..........
