I hear you, only it was my daughter at Christmas
$500 per a 2 week period was just not cutting it and not even able to verify my lines with the worst dictation imaginable, 2-3 minute reports with not one ESL spelling their name, putting their correct number or correct patient name, or being courteous enough to spell anything. All I did was constantly search or send to QA of which they did not think I was digging hard enough!!! That is what our profession is now.
Christmas morning here and not even a Merry Christmas

As my daughter would say
Don’t be a hater. Sorry you are probably having to do VR and just cannot get up to making a decent salary. You don’t pay my salary so again just slide back under that rock and don’t worry about how I do my job and that is not here on this board. Now slither along.
When my daughter was little, s/m
One day she parked herself on the floor next to me and set up a board game with a stuffed animal opposite her for her to play with. I about cried. I stopped and played with her for a little bit. She's 17 now; hang in there!! My kids were used to me working, and behaved pretty much.
How do you know list is true? I can make a list,

I understand about your daughter.
How long do you think your marriage will last? If he doesn't see you only for the weekends, I think that would put a strain on things. This is just my opinion. I have seen it done and be successful, but two days a week seeing your husband is not many especially with a special needs child.
I agree. My daughter
has a Honda Civic which is not a hybrid but gets phenomenal mileage! Her next car will be their hybrid.
Anything we can do to help clean up this mess for our children and grandchildren.
Yep and the boss's daughter
I tell you, the incompetence of that company was truly amazing! And before anyone starts in, yes, I am working and actually DO like the company I am working for.
I forgot another thing: When I started, they forced me to buy a footpedal for like $150 that they claimed was necessary because only this pedal would work with their software. I believe the owner's husband had something to do with the company that sold this footpedal. Guess what, a footpedal I had from a different company worked with SS software, as I later found out.
I also at one point worked for Medquist and, believe me, SoftScript was WORSE, if that is at all possible.
I have called my daughter that but she is
mixed. What term would apply here?
Must be you're the daughter, eh?
Coming to the defense of your mother who gave you access to the queue?
No, but my daughter attends Stanford!
My daughter works for WalMart
plus excellent benefits, super cheap health care, vacation, etc.
If you were my daughter, I'd strongly recommend SM
you go for it. Furthering one's level of education is an extremely wise move for anyone, you're ultimately setting a good example for your children, and a degree in nursing can be taken many directions, including right back home to type for a while if needed (but the Walmart option so many here seem to seriously consider will never need to be among them!).
I'm not Joann's daughter or a hairdresser, but

The hospital in the town where my daughter
goes to college sends their x-rays to Australia to be read.
My daughter put this on her computer as wallpaper tonight ...
She has excellent grammar, by the way, and she put it up as a joke. When I saw it, I thought of this thread!
Can hub's work safely if your daughter is up at night,

Arse kisser Joann's daughter
Your a dreamer and oblivious to everything around you. One need only look as far as this blog to see that SoftScript is not exactly what one would call a cream of the crop company. No, far from it. I don't believe I'm alone; furthermore, just because someone does not like a company does not mean that they could not cut the mustard but more means that they could not cut through the BS. Get you head out of the sand and open your eyes to sick reality that is called SoftScript.
So you quit and now no job, daughter to support, unemployment?
Have you only been in the work force for a short while? This is business. Like I said, nothing personal about you but they are running a business and we are not important as far as family concerns most of the time to them, only to do their work. Do you think now that quitting was a good idea? I would have just answered the question as yes and let it go at that, not try to read something else into it.
Christmas
Heard on the new last night that Coca-Cola will not be using Santa's image this year on any of their Christmas products. They will use a picture of a polar bear instead.
Nothing for Christmas
The company I have worked for for almost 2 yrs send me a $20 thing of candy. The other company I got nothing, not even a Merry Christmas.
If Only...What I wish for this Christmas.
Reading posts below how so many MTs just wish or hope that they may get some sort of recognition - a bonus or a gift or anything for their hard work for the year. I cannot say how angry I am - steaming mad - to read the derogatory posters who call these hopeful or disappointment MTs childish or greedy. Its so heartbreaking. American workers for decades regularly received Christmas bonuses in every single industry, period. We all did. Our parents did and our grandparents did. If they didn't, that probably meant they were the bosses or business owners, and they happily were the ones giving out the bonuses or gifts to their beloved workers. THIS IS SICK that other MTs can bash those who still have hope, or those who desperately need the $$, anything. A lowsy $25 gift card might feed their kids for a day. Yet its A-OK in our country that the CEOS and our OWN BOSSES get 6 and 7-figure Christmas bonuses every year, whether they run our companies into the ditch or not. They aren't called greedy or childish. We continue to work ourselves to the point of breaking 24/7, and darn sure do have the right to hold out the most meager of hopes that yes, MTs, there is a Santa Claus, he does care, and maybe we might get a $25 token of appreciation from our employers, who are darn tootin' making a boat load of greenbacks thanks to our labors. Merry Christmas, and I wish if I were rich that I could find a list of all US MTs and send each and every one, newby or seasoned pro, a $25 gift card and a Christmas card. I truly wish I could do that. Maybe someday I will. Don't be ashamed to hope for a present - good grief we get nothing else, nothing.
Christmas
It is coming....already spent mind....
Are you allowed to say Christmas?
Pretty soon, everything is becoming so politically correct, we won't be allowed to use the word Christmas anymore. Maybe they were insulted - you should have sent a holiday card instead.
But, no - I don't think I've seen a Christmas card or bonus in years. Boy, in the good old days at MQ, a few years back, we actually used to have Christmas parties - imagine that!
CHRISTMAS IS AMERICAN
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Majority rules here in America. MOST people celebrate Christmas in this country. If I were in a Japanese country I would expect to see oriental things all over the place and if I were in Israel, I would expect to see Hannukah all over. What is wrong with people? The world has gone totally nuts.
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?
Merry Christmas to you, too!

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to all.
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 present
I also received a nice present from mine this week,as well as nice thank you gift at Thanksgiving! I've never received a single, solitary thing from any other company that I've worked for before. I feel appreciated.
Now THAT is what the spirit of Christmas is all about. (sm)
When I worked in house at a local hospital we used to adopt a family each year and had a blast doing it. We were a large department and would provide food for the holiday meals and all the Christmas gifts. One year we took my little truck with the camper and literally had it filled with boxes of food and presents. One lady in our department is of a religion that didn't believe in Christmas, but wow, did this lady come forward with food products for the family. One year the mother of the family we adopted even sent us pictures of Chrismas morning. That was truly a heart warmer too.
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.....
Merry Christmas

Thankful at CHRISTMAS
I want to thank my company Transform for always have lots of work, great pay, great people and just a great place to work. I am not bragging either, I am THANKFUL and would like others to know that there are companies out there who actually do what they say, pay well, and treat their people nice. It's a shame that some others on this board will not allow us to post on the COMPANY BOARD about our COMPANIES.
CHRISTMAS BONUS
I have from a private account.
I got an e-mail Christmas Day
It says Merry Christmas, work is behind and overtime is approved!
christmas acknowledgment
Hey....our bullentin had Christmas trees on it....what more do you want? :)
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.
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.
Merry Christmas to all! sm
Hope you all have a very nice day whether you are working or not and may God bless you all! I'm working today and don't care if I get all my lines for the day and I don't even care if I get any gifts. I'm just glad to wake up and see the beautiful sunshine and pure white snow outside! For me, that is the best! 
This is EXACTLY why I work every Christmas now and with TT sm
shoot, today I hit a pocket of the good stuff on my morning shift and spent an hour with simple normals I have for doctors who don't have them on the system...I had close to 1000 lines for morning part.
Unhappy? NO
I was just told before Christmas
That's all I really know. I only wanted part-time. The recruiter got right back to me though and I applied through their website. Basically, I just sent them a resume. Things may have changed.
Christmas in April
Company bonus just extended....guess I didn't need to get up at 4 AM!
Cyber-terrorists are horrible, but turned out to be a financial blessing. Those of you who work for our company know what I'm talking about. 
YES! On MTStars you are allowed to say CHRISTMAS!
Christmas Past - dream on
.... Just wanted to share what was done at a hospital I worked at in the good old days when I was a young one ..
Hospital gave each employee $300.00 to $500.00 dollars each as a bonus. You got a turkey for your family. AND, the grandest catered Christmas party at a local exclusive private club with dancing all night!!! Can you believe that?!?
IF you stop calling it Christmas
First of all, I don't think it's possible. People would never totally adapt to saying Holiday instead of Christmas. But second of all, I think that if we did stop saying Christmas, lo and behold, whatever word we used instead, be it holiday or whatever, would then become an objectionable word. They just are jealous of us and want to bully us around. I can imagine maybe we just change the date? Christ was born in September anyway. It all goes back to converting pagans and having a celebration to coincide with their big winter celebration.
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
Any Christmas gifts/bonuses from...
Any Christmas bonuses or gifts from Futurenet Technology?
My company did not acknowledge Christmas.. so
I'm guessing MT Week is not a holiday on their calendar.
