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. 
Christmas Bonus survey...Has anyone received a bonus yet this year or expect one?
We usually get one but haven't see it yet. Just curious if anyone has been so lucky as to get one.
Maybe it's a Christmas gift
in appreciation of a year of hard work. Does Amphion ever send Christmas gifts to MTs? If so, why gripe?
Christmas Gift
Those morons sent me chocolates for Christmas. Unfortunatley my son was here to accept delivery. I would have sent it back. I'd much rather have my PAY!!! They have the nerve to have BONUS pay in their ad for new MTs when they can't even pay the ones that are working there now. I was on their payroll, so it had nothing to do with IC invoicing. I think they guesstimate at lines because they are never close to what I have actually typed. Glad I'm done with them!
Christmas Gift?
My gift  was an email from the company wishing me a Merry Christmas and then they sent out emails Christmas Eve and Christmas day asking MTs to log in and work some;-)
Christmas gift-OSi
Got a card,coffee mug with coffee, and lines that day. Also had pay deposited a day or so earlier, and that's much better than I've heard from other companies, at least pay-wise.
I got a nice Christmas gift from
This is my second Christmas with this company and is my second gift so there are MTSOs out there who do care about their MTs and do show their appreciation for hardwork!
Did my Christmas gift get lost in the mail?
Or, did other employees not receive anything either?
Surely had hoped for Christmas gift from TransTech again this year, but . . .
not. Has any other TT'er (MT) gotten a Christmas gift of any kind yet from their employee -- Transtech ?
I guess I shouldn't have expected one, but I did . . . .
CHRISTMAS BONUS
I have from a private account.
AX Christmas Bonus
Yes, they have given in the past. Usually in the form of a 50 dollar Visa card, which can be used anywhere. Don't know if we will get one this year or not.
Christmas bonus
I've worked at SoftScript, Medi-Max, Spheris, and several other smaller MT companies and in 15 years I've never once received a bonus or a raise from any of them, Christmas or otherwise.
By the way, Spheris is the worst company I've ever worked at in my life, and I've had several different careers. They lie to, cheat, and steal from their employees, pay slave wages, and constantly harass you to produce more and more and more while cutting your pay. Even in this economy, I just quit that horrible, horrible, inhuman place. Horrible.
Last year, from Keystrokes we got Blockbuster gift cards for Christmas and for MT week sm
we got candles and candy. I always get a birthday card too, which is very nice.
Axolotl Christmas bonus? sm
Has Axolotl given Christmas bonuses in the past? Do you think we'll get one this year? I am fairly new there and was just curious. TIA
Merry Christmas to you too! I think it is great that Transcend sends out gift cards to employees.
I wonder how many other companies do that. Let's see, with over 1000 transcriptionists that is 25,000.
Again, thank you Transcend!
Christmas bonus/card? Did anyone get anything this year?
I know there is still time but usually we get a card by now.
Acusis - Anybody get a Christmas bonus, card, etc.?
nm
Nice Christmas card and $100 bonus.
I didn't get a Christmas bonus or even a card
glad to see how much we are appreciated by our company.
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.
What do you think a good gift would be from an MTSO? I am curious what would be a well-accepted gif
Let's be realistic and realize that most companies can't send out $500 to each employee if they have more than a few to send to, but maybe if we get some good ideas, we have something to start with and/or build on.
One reason I stopped sending gifts for Christmas, MT Week, birthdays, etc is that so many people complained about what they got that it made it more stressful to send anything at all and quite depressing to put time, thougt and money into something I thought was good only to be ridiculed.
I would love some suggestions for the future!
Agreed. I also got a nice Christmas bonus working for a tiny private practice. sm
In a smaller office you're seen as an actual person.
That's what they gave when I worked there. Don't give up -- Christmas is not here yet. :-)
You have a good attitude, though. Sometimes we forget to be thankful for the things we have. I just recently moved to another state, so I am still new to the area and everything, but before I moved, I volunteered at a local food bank once a week. I felt kind of silly and shallow about pouting because I couldn't buy a new pair of shoes or something frivolous when there were people who didn't even have enough to eat. (Judging by my ever-expanding waistline, that does NOT seem to be the case here! ha)
Hope you and everyone has a very happy holiday!
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
s
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! 
Does OSI give a bonus or anything? (sm)
xx
There are few, if any, nationals that give a bonus. You may
get a gift card or a box of chocolates, or a tube of chapstick, but that is about it.
With Webmedx you're lucky if you get enough work.
Would cost too many $$ to give bonus to the overseas help
and the US citizens who pay taxes, so they probably sent it to just overseas help along with all the work.
curious - do they give Xmas bonuses?
Just wondering!
CHRISTMAS GIFTS FROM COMPANIES
Well, last year I received an email from the owner of the company that indicated that a nice surprise would be arriving in the mail. Initially, I was impressed; thought that was very nice; I thought that maybe they were sending a gift card or something. However, It turned out to be the company calendar. All during the holidays, there were absolutely no personal greetings from any of the supervisors, managers or company owner with HAPPY HOLIDAYS, MERRY CHRISTMAS or HAPPY NEW YEAR, etc. The only mention of the holidays was an email from my supervisor with a request to give my preference for which holiday I would be working, and then to receive an assignment back from her, indicating whether my preference was approved or not. My first choice was denied.
This year, I'm with a different company. I have received no calendars or cards or anything solid. A few of the managers and QA had holiday greetings written in their status sections on the chat board. Despite the fact that I am an employee, nobody forced me to work on any holiday, just asked me whether I would be working or not. Despite there being no SPECIAL TREAT arriving in the mail, I think I prefer my current company's approach.
Last year's company could have kept the calendar, as far as I'm concerned. The company owner could have sent everyone a freebie ecard and I would have been more impressed, had more warm, fuzzy feelings, etc., etc. She could have done this without spending a single cent.
Bottom line is that I would much rather receive a kindly greeting from the major players than to receive a calendar or a mug or pen with their advertisements displayed on it.
Just my opinion, of course.
Just curious...do they give you a higher line rate? nm
PLEASE NAME COMPANIES THAT WANT YOU TO WORK CHRISTMAS OR THANKSGIVING
I am very interested to see the list. Thank you.
Got a card but no bonus or gift card.

one of my companies gives an extra 8,000 per quarter for bonus

I'm curious if other companies
have no work today because of the holiday and is common? If you agree to employment with a company and commit to your schedule but there is nothing to do during those hours how are you supposed to pay the bills? What does everyone else do in this situation? I'm employee status and thought this would prevent this situation from happening. I've made pretty much no money this week because there has been no work when I go to sign in during my scheduled shift.
I was just curious about different companies...You GET REAL!..sm
That is the problem with this profession. So many people are out to downgrade you and come out with an attitude like this little one did. I was simply curious about who gets what kind of birthday incentives, etc...Apparently you are the one that has a problem because you do not know how to be nice and answer a question. And you did not even answer the question correctly -- all you did was show how much of a rude and senseless person you are. No help at all....
Still notice a couple of companies offering sign on bonus. Does it make you wonder? sm
Are they just an extremely exclusive type company, wanting only the best and willing to pay for it or is there something wrong they have to bribe people to come to work for them?
I am not sure, but think I am curious enough to apply to check it out.
TransTech MT week gift??? OR just low work gift??
Have any of you rec'd anything from TT for MT week gift yet?
Christmas morning here and not even a Merry Christmas

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.

Do companies give raises?
Not in this economy. Just give thanks you have a job.
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?
