I always send a card that says
something about Happy Holidays. That way everybody can feel included. A holiday can mean anything from Christmas to Hanukkah to just a holiday from work.
Did you send THEM a card?
It's a 2-way street.
Kind of piggy to expect a Christmas card/gift from someone. Do you treat your friends and family this way too?
Gifts/cards should be unsolicited.
Yes, I did send THEM a card....sm
I know it is a 2-way street. I don't think it is PIGGY to expect a card from someone you work for. I didn't know that people actually do not recognize people who work for them at the holiday season. I know now. My husband did not get a card or anything either, and we know these people well he works for. He has bent over backwards for these people. I was shocked.
Maybe I feel this way because my mom is a business owner and has NEVER not given her employees a gift, much less not even a card. It is inconsiderate. When someone makes you your money, you should show some consideration.
Did you send her a card or a gift? nm

Is it common to send a copy of ID and S.S. Card for IC position?

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.
Oh, I can't stand HR people who send
you test info & paperwork when they aren't even hiring... I ALWAYS ask now what positions are available, etc., before even bothering to test. It saves a lot of time! Do these HR idiots not realize it takes HOURS to test???
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
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! 
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.

Definitely noticeable and something that has been complained about at all the companies
s
There is NO work at Transtech. Maybe they just choose special people to send work to
df
I think this is the same person who complained about this before and she doesn't even work there

What is the DSG1 platform do you known. I thought it was DSG 2 that everyone complained about.

To all of you who have complained about QA and it has fallen on my deaf ears...sm
I FLIPPING APOLOGIZE!!!!
I have had the mother of all run ins with QA today. This is a new job for me, I have not been happy, but it is a job, you know?
I can't imagine I have made that many stupid mistakes! I don't as a rule. I have had a tough week, it is true. I have been sick, had some family problems, etc. but this takes the cake.
I had the doctor say: Scratch that, use... QA corrected to include the scratch that sentence. Counted me off. Lovely.
We have BOS specifics, company style guide and account specifics. Apparently, the QA person didn't read any of these and corrected my work to reflect BOS 1 style, when we were told to use BOS 2. Okay...
She corrected properly placed commas.
She added words that the doctor didn't say to make it sound better. We can't do that, it is V-E-R-B-A-T-I-M verbatim. She corrected for past tense on a doctor that never uses that and is an ESL, so his language usage is not what we would call correct, exactly, but he makes sense in a round about way. Gotta type what he says, right?
EVERY SINGLE STUPID REPORT was overly corrected, incorrectly corrected, had things that are incorrect in the BOS, the company guide AND the account specifics...
I have not had this much of a run in with QA in about 10 years and I am livid. I know I have typos here and I am not making sense, but I am so angry, I have tears in my eyes.
I had a friend, a former MT, tell me that what I have here is a situation where someone of inferior intelligence, less experience than I have who is vastly over-correcting my work because she is on a power trip!
Any suggestions?
It would not matter that you complained to your company, they will just say, "there is no work
but the truth is, I want work, you want work. I don't know you, you don't know me (even in the same company). I doubt either of us will complain to anybody if we get work however we get it. You are right, we have families too and need the money. Companies lie all the time, making us job hoppers in a lot of cases because there is not enough work after hiring on that there was plenty, or we got all the ESLs and crummy dictation because we have more experience. That to me is taking money out of my pocket and playing bowling, handicapping me for transcriptionists who have not paid their dues. I don't make the rules but I don't have to continue to work for a company who does those things and there are a slew out there and they don't care if you quit. On the day you quit they already had an ad for more transcriptionists which is what amazes me. It costs money to train us for their platforms and they don't care when we say we have to quit because we aren't making money. No loyalty whatsoever with companies.
What about sound quality and tech support? Both have been complained about in the past. Thx. nm

Are any MTs still with Precyse that complained of losing their good accts a few months ago? If so,
s
Ditto! Also add that they ignore e-mails you send and send endless IMs!
nm
reporting cherry pickers falls on deaf ears. I have complained for years.

Got a card
I got a card last week. Don't know if that is all we are getting or not. WIll know when I get my paycheck.
NO ID or SS card
Only if you are an IC.. If you are NOT an employee, they do NOT need it. They send you a 1099.
That's what the SS card is for!! And your sm
driver's license will verify your signatures and name.
Read up on it at SSA online.
I got a card from them. nm

LOL. It's not the same card. I kept the last three. sm
I know that a few years ago, they stopped sending gifts because no matter what they did, someone would complain. I like the cards and get paid well. I would rather make good money year round than lousy money plus a $25 gift!
No X-mas card -- nothing...sm
You know last year was my first year with this company. I was surprised when I got a $50 bonus for X-mas last year. This year I wasn't really expecting a bonus because of the economy and all. I did, however, think they would have at least sent a X-mas card. No card. No nothing. No email stating happy holidays. Absolutely nothing. I thought it was a little inconsiderate of them. I wasn't expecting money. I just thought they would send some type of holiday wish.
I got a card
I wasn't one of the ones complaining, but I did get a nice card from my employer. I don't expect anything from my bosses. When I do get something I am appreciative. The only thing I actually demand and expect from them is the appropriate paycheck on payday.
card
I received a beautiful card also from the owner of the company that I work PT for. I also work PT for a local store, only working one day a week, and received $100 bonus- which I was totally not expecting and was very grateful for! It is nice to receive a card just to let you know how much you are appreciated! Thanks AF!!!
Once again, I'll say that I believe no card is due to the sm
new, stupid, law that disallows wishing people a Merry Christmas. I haven't received my usual card from the other company I work for, either. This brings me to what I think is an accurate conclusion--we can blame the lawmakers for their new ridiculous law.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY. HAPPY HANUKKAH. HAPPY KWANZA.
So, put me in jail, already, lawmakers.
I always get a card and for other reasons other than
work reasons, not even gotten that one yet.
What about all the credit card
numbers you give them when you order something?
Last year, I tried to order a Dell keyboard. I must have wound up on the phone with someone from India, and before I could give her my credit card number, she insisted on knowing whether it was a personal or business account.
At that point, I told her I didn't feel comfortable giving my information to her, and I hung up. I will never order anything from Dell again because of this. In fact, I've limited my on-line, over-the-phone purchases since this happened.
I agree with you that we should boycott, but maybe we shouldn't limit it to the healthcare industry. 
Futurenet sent a card..nm
d
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!
Christmas card
Thinking back over the years we used to get a corporate card but now I think we only get a card if our supervisor and/or manager decide to remember us, some do and some don't. Since I have had about 6 supers this year, I doubt it. Once I got a $5.00 gift certificate for Starbucks from my super, that was nice but the nearest Starbucks is 50 miles away as I live in South Georgia boondocks. Seeing that I haven't even had a cost of living raise with MQ for 7 years, I don't look for a CHRISTMAS BONUS!!!!! Do you work for MQ? Hope you get one if you don't.....
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.
Well, it seems to me if credit card
Most of the telephone reps have an accent! So, I'm sure they're sitting their with my information too. I'm sure they don't care about my last colonoscopy or Pap smear, but they sure do have my credit card number, social security number, and address. What can someone do with your medical history? Can they steal your identity with your medical history? Let's be realistic here.
have you considered an air card?
Check with Sprint, Verizon and some of the other cell phone carriers. I got a USB air card through Sprint, and the connection is great!!! However, there are several factors that come into play with these, including how far you are from a cell phone tower, but at least with a USB card, you could utilize it with a laptop or a desktop as long as you have an available USB connection. Hope this helps.
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..
LOL on the card from the job you quit!
nm
That new time card
Excel - It's only 5 lines and no empty fields to put anything in? My coworker can't even open it, doesn't have Excel on her computer. Anybody got an answer?
and pre-Transcend, we at least got a Christmas card and even
a very much appreciated gift certificate, but guess Transcend is too cheap to allow that for MDI
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.
I got a nice card from them.... maybe yours is in the mail..!

I'm so sick of the single mom card. sm
It does not matter what the majority demographic of a company's employees are. Single moms don't deserve a job any more than a single non-mom or a married mom or a married woman with no kids or any man. A company doesn't owe you more money/respect/benefits/leeway/slack just because you're a single mom. We all have issues, life problems, families, responsibilities. Using your single mom-ness as a crutch is the same as blaming others for your own misfortune.
Did my time card too, takes a while. (sm)
I have been keeping my logs of job numbers and in and out times/total lines in a spiral notebook and then transferring them to a template for time cards on the computer and attaching to E-mail. There has to be a simplier way. I spent 45 minutes this morning getting this all done and totalled up.
All suggestions welcome.
Wow. Do you at least get a card or any acknowledgment you exist???
Yes, card and bonus check.
It was quite a surprise since I have only worked for them for a few months.
