I just bought a 1/2 gallon of milk with a gift SM
Posted By: i know the feeling on 2009-09-25
In Reply to: No, what's REALLY embarrassing is - walking into town to buy a (SM)
card at the drug store. A gift card I got for transferring my prescription there last week (so I could get the gift card). I don't even have $1.89 cash to pay for milk.

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. 
Focus bought by Nuance/Dictaphone, DRC bought by Acusis. nm

TransTech MT week gift??? OR just low work gift??
Have any of you rec'd anything from TT for MT week gift yet?
Why milk?
What is with all the people who drink so much milk? If you are that broke, buy some oatmeal for pete's sake! It lasts and all you do is add water. Oh, the drama with the milk!
Milk - how heartless
I can relate. I returned a purchase (a dress) in order to get groceries instead because was hit by unexpected medical expenses ($15 copay and $40 copay for meds for my son).
Milk is for calves any way...sm
I quit nursing my mother many moons ago. Sure don't need to nurse a cow.
Happy cows give more milk -
It would really take VERY little effort on their part and they would probably get back so much in return if they would only treat people with kindness, fairness, and decency. Does it take so much to answer an e-mail that does not pertain to account specifics or something else not covered elsewhere? I am not talking about carrying on a conversation with someone because I want to work and be left alone myself, but sometimes I have a question that needs an answer. I am still waiting for a response on something I sent over a month ago! That is not the first e-mail to go unanswered...I personally would never claim to be under so much stress that I used that as an excuse to ignore the very people who make DSG (and any company for that matter) what it is or be rude to them.
Sorry, but truly suspect it's like wondering which'll keep delivering milk by horse-drawn wago

What gift....
I have never received even a card from Precyse and I have worked for them going on 4 years now. The odd thing, however, is that I get a Valentine's day present and an MT week present...maybe they don't celebrate Christmas, who knows.
No gift for me . . . nm

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;-)
mt week gift
Just ask us MTs from Heartland what we got!!!! enuff said
I received a gift as well. s/m
I really appreciated it as I have only been working for this company for a few months. It's nice to be remembered at all.
how about gift certificate
for a spa/massage/parafin hand treatment/ something like that to soothe our aches and pains. A custom deluxe office chair or keyboard. I could go on, but I'm sure you don't want to hear my wish list.
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!
Just got a little gift from PMedcom :)
No card, but Im assuming its for MT week!! :)
Thanks for the MT week gift
Your thoughtfulness never ceases to amaze me. I love Olive Garden!
Did you ever get your gift for MT week?
We received email to expect something in the mail over a week ago, mine never arrived.
MT week gift
received a wonderful picnic throw from Deventure
Oops,that should go under TT gift down below. nm

Gift from Transcend! :) nm

We get a gift---last year, ...sm
one of those big insulated lunch carriers, the year before that a throw with the company name embroidered on it, the year before a duffel bag.
E-gift certificate from
To use at various stores online...Merry Christmas
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.
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.
It is really bad when you "EXPECT" a gift.

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..
That is an excellent gift!
I love aprons - it's kind of neat to get something with your company's logo on it, usually those are things you can't buy.
What I just bought
Go to stedmans.com and get the AAMT Book of Style and also the Stedman's Spellchecker CD-ROM. They will bill you for these, and you will be happy that you bought them! You will also love working at home if you can pace yourself and refuse to be distracted, especially with the price of gasoline as it is.
Is all of this because when MQ bought YOG SM
they continued to pay the MT's what they were receiving at YOG, which was more than MT's at MQ made? Now everyone will be making the same amount or less?
I don't work for MQ, so I don't know, this is just what I gathered talking to friends.
They were bought out by MQ. NM
NM
This is the co that was bought by the guy from ddi
that left when MQ bought them
Well, I bought one
and got the reimbursement. I work at home, but I still drive.
Bought it new. It is an HP.
I was with the co they bought and we had sm
a nice situation. Here comes the CEO promising us we were going to know every day how much we're valued, how important we are. Not so. For the first 6 months it was okay, hard to get used to all the management we suddenly had, but then things started going downhill. Then the push with the VR. Seems to me that most of our work is going to be VR work and they're probably aware they pay more than the other companies - so it will not surprise me at all if they take that away now.
I hate these town hall calls, They never contain anything good for the people who are doing the grunt work.
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.
anyone get a holiday gift from Precyse?
Just wondering.
Did you send her a card or a gift? nm

Precysers, can someone explain what the gift is?nm
nm
Oh! That's very nice. We sometimes have gotten a V-Day gift from my company.

Thanks to SoftScript for my gift on MT week. sm
Although I feel this is not necessary, I certainly will use my travel mug. I also stil use my reading light from last year. Thanks to whomever is in charge of picking out this type of thing as you always find something that is either needed (without realizing it - i.e. the reading light) or something just fun like the mug (that can be used a lot).
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!
Only after one year.... WM gift cert.

I too received the gift and it is very nice and quite useful (nm)

A Big Thanks to ProScript for the MT week gift
Just received my MT week gift from ProScript and wanted to say it is a very nice and useful gift and it is nice to be appreciated as a medical Transcriptionist from a company who really cares for its employees.
For the wonderful gift for MT-Week
It really is nice to be appreciated !! 
Is Chantix the MT gift? ROFL...
It's not job related but a generous gift
They believe we each have a responsibility to lessen our carbon footprint on the earth. They give the reimbursement as a reward and a thank you. Another reason I love working for them...it's not all about money and capitalism.
ProScript sent me a gift yesterday, SM
I thought that was very nice! I havent gotten a gift from an employer in years.
Thank you ProScript.
