I was sent a gift card by mistake- addressed to my supervisor

In Reply to: I am curious as to what companies give at Christmas. Has anyone gotten a bonus/gift from their - na
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.

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.
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 once had a supervisor who played the kids-card all
Now that was one situation where I'd rather she stayed home with him rather than dragging him to work and allowing him to disrupt everyone in the office.
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.
Geez... the "merger" was three years ago and I still got my gift card (today!)
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.
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...
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.
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.
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. 
TransTech MT week gift??? OR just low work gift??
Have any of you rec'd anything from TT for MT week gift yet?
I would like to see this addressed as well
I do just fine with Extext working for another company, but I still wonder what was going on when I worked there. I felt like I worked so hard and got few pennies to show for it. Most companies do not pay for headers or footers but this goes beyond that.
VR should be addressed! sm
Some companies are offering up only 4 cpl for VR acute care. This is a disgrace! I will not work for 4 cpl, bottom line! I will be on my way to a new career path if this is the continued trend. I have invested literally thousands on my career, equipment, books, and miscellaneous over the last very many years in this field. If acute care is so easy to edit that it's only worth 4 cpl, then approach someone off the street to do it!
I agree with the USMLSU poll.
She addressed that in the post
I think she sounded right on with her opinion. She also has a great attitude. VR is going to stay and we need to embrace it or get another career.
Exactly. It was a problem and it is being addressed. (sm)
People are always looking for something bad. 
While I am not one you addressed this post to, I can tell you my job is
IC and with my own hospital client(s), and like I stated in my post, it is at a much higher line rate than 8 or 9 cpl.
Before having my own client(s), I can tell you that the ability to make a good average hourly wage is definitely here in the MT field. I am not sure what difficulties you are having, but I worked for a national for a period of time at 10 cpl (gross line) and make tremendous money.
It can be done. I think it depends on the company, platform, account, and line rate though.
Just because you do not believe it, does not make it untrue.
This question was addressed with Administrator. (SM)
Job listings are written by the companies posting the listing. We do not define how they make their own listings.
If you feel uncomfortable sending a resume to an unidentified company, then you should not. Perhaps an e-mail to them asking for identification first.

Comment not addressed to you but to "whoa"
Sorry - thought I posted directly as a response to dial it back jack! I was not commenting to you at all - we are on the same side!!
That is also being addressed, also found in the email from 6/19. nm
I am pretty sure this subject has been addressed before, but don't think it got many responses, s
I'm asking again. If you work for an employer/company that do not require you to work 30-40 hours per week, but require you to meet the minimum line requirement within a certain time-frame or window, would you please give the name.
Let's drop the subject. The issue has been addressed SM
by the company and resolved.
Again, this situation has been addressed and is not a problem anymore.

My mistake. It was MDI-FL. sm
They called me back yesterday finally and found out that it was MDI-FL. I was offered the position which I gladly took. The funny thing is that Transcend has the account now that my previous employer had and was taken away and given to Transcend. I am crossing my fingers I will get on that one (although not holding my breath either). The line rate seems good. The schedule is what I need. So we shall see. So far so good.
mistake
Yes. Mistake made. Windows Vista not compatible with a lot of MT software. Go to Microsoft.com and find what IS compatible, by manufacturer's name.
its a mistake. This was before
this is a mistake..if you check the dates it was before the layoff..
My mistake...
It was not Keystrokes, it was a different company in Illinois on the list that was no longer in service. Just one of those Monday moments on a Thursday!
Big Mistake :-(
Anybody else ever think they figured it out, schedule wise, and end up leaving a company for another one and then realize they made a HUGE mistake? But it is too late because the doctor that you transcribed was already given to someone else.....
I was working for a great company!!!! One that, for some reason, will occasionally get some bad reviews here.... which I do not understand why.. had a baby, had to leave one company (as I was working for three) and let go of the wrong one!!!! But was too stressed out at the time, when making my decision, to realize it.
I wish I could do a system restore on my work situation and set myself back to when I was with that company working on my favorite doctor!!!!
I made a BIG mistake. SM
I was working for this great company who only required 2000 lines a day and had a very flexible schedule. I couldnt handle the 2000 lines a day in addition to my other position and had to quit. Then a little later, asked if I could have another chance. She gave me this chance and then, again, it was too hard for me to keep up with all the work.
Now I am on a different schedule with school starting again as well as other circumstances and this would just be the perfect scenerio for me. The 2000 lines a week.
I have been searching for other companies that might have this type of position available and have failed to locate one. Do you think it would be completely wrong of me to ask, yet again, for another chance? Or would I be coming off too nutty. :-)
Just asking for opinions. Go ahead and tell the truth. If you think I am a nutcase, go ahead and let me know. LOL. Just want pure honesty here.
Also if anyone else has ever been in the same position as I, I'd love to hear about it. At least I would know I am not the only one.
It was a mistake and not a huge one...
GET OVER IT! The poster said they were sorry about the mistake twice now (I wouldn't have after the first time), and it's not that big of a deal anyway! What are you this guy's wife/mother/sister or something? I can't imagine getting so upset about a post about some guy you worked with that again was a MISTAKE?
Take a Valium or 12 and settle down, LOL You keep calling someone out for making a small mistake that's is not going to hurt anything or anyone and who already apologized twice! Plus, your getting yourself frazzled over nothing.
My mistake. You are correct.
So, did the REAL KS recruiter post those messages?
Learn from my mistake
Do not go to work for Robin Hall. To this date she still owes me over $800 and I can't reach her in any way. Phone, IM, e-mail, cell... nothing.
Can you tell me why? I really need to know, I can't make another mistake.

DSG website mistake? sm
DSG website has a link to a website called MTIA saying it stands for Medical Transcription Industry Association. When you click on the link it takes you to a place that is a website for Missouri Tellecommunications Industry Association!! Is this an honest mistake or a scam? Lots of people probably wouldn't even check the links.
Just wondering.
Please don't mistake me for the spelling cop, but (sm)
You stated that the QA people are supper helpful too... Does that mean that they'll drop in around 4:30 p.m. and start getting dinner ready for me too? LMAO!
is her mistake of posting on the sm
wrong board of such significance that it disrupts your life? Good grief, have you nothing else to do?
