Geez... the "merger" was three years ago and I still got my gift card (today!)

In Reply to: Hmmmm..I was afraid of that. I guess I saw that coming. Everyone said it'd change with the merger - MDI/Transcender123
Thank you Transcend - I love working there.
On another note though,isn't it amazing how people can come here and complain about a gift?? Wow.

UPDATE: CARD AND GIFT CARD ARRIVED TODAY FROM TRANSCEND. USPS STINKS...
It tooks what looks like over 2 weeks to get there. It could have been shipped to a third world country is that much time. Shame on USPS. I guess you get what you pay for..even at 41 cents.Yikes. Sorry to my employer.
Worked for them for years. First time not even a card, email, gift certificate, acknowledgment of s
any kind. The new management is so cheap. Hope they aren't counting on the accolades of employee of the year this year. They certainly are not that, and not even in the top ratings. Everything changed this year. And not for the better.
Transcend always sends a nice handwritten card and a gift card
I just got my card today, and it is still five days before Christmas.
You really cannot please all the people all of the time, even when it comes to gift giving. I am so surprised at some of these comments.
Merry Christmas to all!
Our gift card and Christmas card were appreciated.. Check this out......
I have only worked for MDI a few months, but I can tell you they appreciate their MTs. Compared to the doctor I have worked for 9 years for and whom USED to give me a $1000 bonus, but this  year.. NOTHING.. I had been working both jobs, but that made me decide to tell the doctor to take a hike and devote all my time to MDI.. where I'm appreciated...
I received a Christmas card and a gift card 2

I appreciated the Christmas card and gift card..
I don't feel that the MDI/Transcend plays favorites at Christmas. I appreciated the thoughtfulness of the signed Christmas card and gift card. Also, I work the holidays when someone on my team wants the day off. This is a good company to work for. I agree with the above posts--if you're not happy, there are other companies who may suit you better. Happy Holidays to all! 
I got a card and a gift card They are always very good
to us. Transcend has nothing to do with it.
Got a card but no bonus or gift card.

I think a gift card (sm)
Wal*Mart, Amazon.com, something like that. It's the thought that counts. It's nice to feel appreciated!
I get $100 gift card from my doc plus
a wonderful card thanking me for all the hard work I do all year round, and my company sends a $25 gift check.
Gift card
Hey, maybe for someone an extra $25 would come in handy. We do not know each others situations. The one thing I do know is the amount of income lost this year as compared with the past.
No, the poster was saying that it would be nice to be recognized, that we are not computers placing words into computers, that there is actually someone somewhere making sure that the work is accurate, on time, and profitable. None of us have our collective hands out..
I got a card and a gift.. as did everyone I spoke to
You may want to wait a few days and take that back.
Did you send her a card or a gift? nm

I got a gift card from Transcend!
I am very happy about thank and thankful for a great job!
Transcend gift card
I got my gift card from Transcend today too. Its not a ton of money but every year they send us one. It is nice to be remembered.
We usually get a gift card for Walmart.. Last year,
I donated mine to a single mom whose 10-year-old was not going to get a Christmas because mom couldn't afford it. I've been a single mom so my heart went out to her and I got a bunch of people to donate items i.e. tree, ornaments etc.. food, gifts etc. I felt good about it and I know my employer would have felt good about me donating it to a family in need.

A card and $25 gift check from TransTech. It was

Did you ever get anything? I'm perplexed why some people got just cards, some got card and gift c
and some of us nothing. I can't imagine they forgot some people but it's starting to look that way. Oh well, at least we have work.

I was sent a gift card by mistake- addressed to my supervisor
I emailed my supervisor and she said sh ewas expecting a gift card in the mail and to mail it to her. I called the company... they said it was a mistake.. So, I am wondering, did only management get giftcards, or did all employees but me get a gift card. I happily mailed the card to my supervisor. I also sent my notice of resignation to Probity.
Who is expecting a bonus/card/gift from employer this year or (sm)
plans to send card/gift/etc. to their employer?
I thought a card to my supervisor (if she is still there) from MQ would be appropriate. Actually that is the only person I have contact with anymore. For all the years I have worked at MQ, someone, either supervisor/area manager, etc. has sent a card. Hope it continues. Miss the personal touch of working in an office sometimes.
My second job I don't know exactly how many are in the office, but thought sending a group food type gift if shipping alone isn't a killer. Haven't been with them long, but they are so sweet, I bet they also send out cards and bet they are personally signed and not just printed.
Nothing from Transcend, although I heard others got gift cards or at least a card. I've worked th
several years so if it was just a case of being forgotten that is still pretty pathetic. How do you forget your employees, especially when you get junk bulk mail from there regarding nothing that involves you..but at Christmas you were forgotten. Oh well, I have work and for that I am grateful so I'll be nice...
TransTech sent an Amex gift cheque and a lovely card signed by all the office staff.
Very thoughtful and a nice surprise. I love these people.
WTHeck? Got John Hancock card today in mail sm
regarding retirement? i have been gone 2+ years and wasnt there long enough to get retirement paid in --- anybody have any clue why i would get this? Anybody ELSE who is now a former get this?
I talked to them today. They want 3 years in a hospital or 5 years combination sm
hospital and at home or clinic and at home. For radiology, they want 3 years full time radiology. I thought they were very nice and I have a few friends that work for them and are happy. The pay seems average to high for what I am seeing now. I think they are 0.08 per line or 1.08 for radiology. Beats what I will have with the new MQ program.
geez or not geez, it's you who has to polish up her grammar...sm
Prove that conjunctions cannot be used to start a sentence, I just proved the contrary in my 2 lower post. Read it, so you can better you grammar.
Christmas gift appreciated, but turns out not to be a gift if there is no work the day after
Christmas Day. Yes, it was $25.00 (twenty-five). I lost that much this morning when there was NO WORK. I had so hoped to have a good paycheck this pay period, and was working very hard to have one -- as I need the money SO BAD.
I was appreciative of the $25, rather than some kind of novelty advertising token with company logo on it, like some MTSO's would give to a prospective client, etc. Oh, yes, I made very good use of the $25. I took it and paid my high-speed internet bill, a necessary tool for working my job -- which the $25 was very much short of paying that phone charge.
THANK YOU TT for the $25. 
I meant years lol.. where's my head at today.
just today - you're a little behind - that was for the past 3 years-
and ID thiefs are also overseas - did ya see Dateline this week? Another point you are missing - we can prosecute those here - try finding somebody in Pakistan right now.
TransTech MT week gift??? OR just low work gift??
Have any of you rec'd anything from TT for MT week gift yet?
Just took a test today for a company and I am amazed how rusty I am after not testing for years and
years. I had to really think about things again. I guess after you test enough you get used to it. That is the first one I took in about 13 years. I just more or less did it to see how it was. Should be interesting to see how it went because I really dont want to work for the company I just wanted to take the test. A lot of tricky questions in it.
Geez...
wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning???
geez!
Lighten up. I never claimed each and every one of the gaffs in my post would happen in a single report! (explanation point) Just trying to show the range of possibilities and provide a little fun at the same time.
And to those who say we must adapt, some species will just take themselves out of the gene pool, rather than lose their wings and become ground dwellers. The advent of computers (like losing flippers and growing legs) was a boon to this profession, one to which I was happy to adapt because it was beneficial to me. Not really sure what I would be getting out of adaptation to VR, other than being allowed to do something kinda like my old job, that I don't enjoy nearly as much as my old job, for a lot less money than my old job. Just doesn't seem like a good plan, but then that's just me.
geez...
do you also begrudge the lady using the insurance for her breast cancer or the guy with the MI??? Health insurance has always paid for pregnancy-related charges. And women have taken maternity leave. why is this a big deal for everyone now? would you like her to schedule her delivery for friday so she can recuperate over the weekend and be back at her desk on Monday?
Oh geez!!!
You just put into writing my worst fear, the one I was afraid to mention, that they perhaps are offshoring. It's just so unlike my experience with them to be met with dead silence and a lack of explanation from management about work being slow. One poster even tried addressing D directly to no avail.
The silence is deafening.
I hope we're WAY off base on this but with no other explanations coming from the higher ups, it does leave a lot of room for speculation.
Hoping for the best for all of us at MDI-MD right now...
To Geez
I know you did not mean to offend and I was not. :) The one thing we can all say is that MDI MTs are a cohesive group of respectful MTs, especially of each other. We are all on this ship together although in different ways. I am lucky so far in that I transcribe private office accounts. Therefore, the work is my own and only if a doctor is on vacation or sick, is my work load super low. I make 9 cpl and have not asked for any more in 3 years and never will. I cover for other MTs on vacation who also have private accounts. I do not do hospital work and now I think I may be more grateful than ever that I do not. However, I only average 800-900 lines per day and sometimes less. I dropped my commitment to 800 when 2 private accounts left. The one major complaint I have with MDI is when physicians take their business to another service or utilize another technology MDI never tells you. You sit and look at an empty template for days wondering if they are sick, on vacation or dead! No one says anything until you just figure (or finally hear it from your TL) that this doctor/practice left MDI.
Geez!
Okay fine, the experienced receptionist would get 50 cents more an hour....happy now? Ohhh, ahhhh!!! Good grief!
Geez!
So if you are one of the lucky MTs who got your wages cut, you can look forward to no milk and sewing your own clothes and adding patches and sparkles when they rip. Just shoot me already! Oh, you guys are killing me with the drama!
Geez, just let it go....nm

Geez!!
I am soo sick and tired of the sniping on this board!! Its either the great debate re: VR versus I only wanna work days -- To NEWBIES -- I have been in this profession over 30 years -- therefore, the days, the hours off that I want take precedence over your wants, needs or groans -- I have also worked in the corporate world and if you are low man on totem pole -- TOUGH!! I also had the guts/nerve to tell my employer that due to where I lived I had to have a raise to deal with COLA -- guess what??? I have it - and BTW -- no I am doing straight transcription and NO we are not hiring so dont ask
Well geez!
That oughta make 'em all feel a whole lot better!
I had over 40 years in the business and guess what? I used to be just as arrogant as you but after buy-outs, mergers and all the rest, it got ME. Time was when I wanted a raise, I asked for it...and got it. I never worked a weekend until I VOLUNTEERED to work weekends after my kids were grown so others might have time to spend with their families. No way would I get back in the MT business!! I'd flip burgers first. And... no way would I do VR at 3-4 cpl. Your time will come, trust me.
I'm not judging...GEEZ
It just gets frustrating to read these down and out posts about MQ going under, we're all in trouble, its doom and gloom. There have been a lot of changes, I have had my bitter moments too, but I have nothing to fall back on. If you people do not have PROOF of what is GOING to happen, do not post false threats!! This is our livelihood, and its trickling away bit by bit. All I see is a bunch of people complaining nonstop, if you're that unhappy, why don't you do something about it? Either that or go along with the changes. This industry is going downhill, we are expendable, I feel that our days are numbered too, but i'm going to do whatever work is thrown at me until that day. I'm a remote worker, just a number who has no voice. My supervisors are secretive and down-talk me as well, but it does no good to come on here and threaten us and scare us all into believing we are this close to ending up flat broke and on the streets. You people posting such things, copy and paste evidence that the changes are going to be for the worse in regards to MQ pay plan, accounts switching, MQ being bought out, getting rid of seasoned MTs. PROVE IT!!! Or else you're causing a stir for no definitive reason for all of us who are under a lot of stress and uncertainty as it is!
Thank you. Geez! I had no idea. sm
What Business Journal are you referring to? Would love to see the info you are talking about. Thanks again!
Geez, can you get any snottier?
What a poop.
Geez, do you believe everything you read?
You don't have a first-hand experience with OSi and yet you advise someone to run, run, run? You know, maybe we who are having a great experience with OSi don't spend all of our time here posting, and what's the point anyway? We're usually overrun with the few who post over and over again about staying away. I actually am extremely happy with OSi, and in fact my last two weeks of October I had my largest line count ever. My point is, I think you can't believe everything you read on these boards, and it's really not right and kind of strange to step up and advise someone to run when you really have no first-hand knowledge of working with this company.
Geez, just saw that TransHealth wants Sat AND
That seems pretty rigorous. Are Sat and Sun schedules requested a lot out there? I'm thinking more and more that I need to leave this career.
I don't think she was talking to you. Geez.
She was addressing me, trying to figure out if I was being serious or sarcastic with MY post.
Geez that is a bit extreme
Well she is probably like me. I make mistakes like anyone else and if I am typing on here I might make one and not double check myself as much. You can tell if they are intelligible by the rest of their post. She just made a typo or two. We are not perfect in this world. We come here for support on this board not criticism. That is just my opinion on this issue.
Not sure who anyone of the Geez's is talking to.
Again, I don't believe anything necessarily (please count my R's for me), but its this exact sort of inflammatory defensive posting against any negative posts that is a real turn off for most of us who juse peruse this board (please count my R's for me). Soon L at KS will be here, if she isn't already, defending a river (please count my R's) and citing, or is it siting, or is it sighting, all the perceived injustices levied, or is it lobbed, against her company. Good Grief (please count my R's)...
I mean where, GEEZ, long day! NM
