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!
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 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. 
Also Christmas cards, etc., should have been taken care of way before the accts
xxxxx
One gave small gift cards ($25). Another...
sent homemade cookies/candy. Another one, nothing. Current one sends out a big gift box of various stuff. Actual signifant cash money? Never for me.
Do they owe us anything? No. I don't think so.
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.
Transcend is playing games, giving gift cards
and doing contests (poetry) and others. There is a contest for a big screen TV.
Transcend cares about its employees
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...
TransTech MT week gift??? OR just low work gift??
Have any of you rec'd anything from TT for MT week gift yet?
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?
I am curious as to what companies give at Christmas. Has anyone gotten a bonus/gift from their
company?
My company sent us E-CARDS this year. sm
They were too cheap to spring for a an actual paper holiday card with postage.
A freaking email card. Yeah, no gift card attached to that baby, either.
Maybe we'll get Ramadan cards next year.

mt week gift
Just ask us MTs from Heartland what we got!!!! enuff said
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
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.
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).
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 !! 
MT week gift-eTransPlus
I recently started at eTransPlus and they are giving us a 1-year subscription to Prevention magazine.
When I worked at Spheris, in different years they sent coffee mugs, insulated beverage bags, small gym bags, but the one that sent a lot of people over the edge was the year they sent us a snow-globe with a mini-computer inside that said Spheris on the screen and then around the base the slogan was:
*All around the globe, Spheris MTs are hard at work.* Just another unpleasant reminder of their *Follow the Sun slogan regarding their Indian workforce.
Only after one year.... WM gift cert.

Thank you DR - love christmas with you every year. sm
Once again - DR has provided a nice Christmas bonus in time for last minute shopping. I know you have to be there for so long to get it, but not sure how long. This has got to be the best company ever. I don't see other people posting about nice bonuses - usually cheesy gifts. TY Diskriter, you really do care.
Cool MT week gift from Webmedx...
Love it! Cook's apron, with the Webmedx logo embroidered on the front. I'll use it a lot. Very nice gesture.
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...
Anyone get any Christmas gifts from your MTSO this year? If so, what?
:)
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.
Christmas bonus/card? Did anyone get anything this year?
I know there is still time but usually we get a card by now.
I was scheduled to work Christmas this year for TT as well....sm
But on Monday my DD went in for emergency surgery. I did not even come home for the first 2 days and only made 1 call to the office to explain early in the week. My DD was finally discharged on Christmas only to return to the ER last night. Do you know what TT's answer was with my 1 measly phone call and one abbreviated email I had time for to them? Family comes first - PERIOD. So, I am on trying to help out today if they need me and I will be GLAD to suffer thru some low work time and stare at a blank screen for a company who has those kinds of values. I VERYMUCH appreciate my job with TT and all that they stand for...
Thank you, Medware, for the MT week gift! Nice to be appreciated! :) nm

DRC/Acusis Many thanks for the MT Week gift from a very happy employee

Did anyone get a Christmas card this year from QT? I thought it was an oversight. nm
nm
I love TransTech. Thanks for the MT Week Amex gift cheque.
:)
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 clear over 800 a week, 40/week; 30+ year experience. (nm)

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.
I do not understand the hostility either. I didn't "need" a gift from Keystrokes, sm
but I have to say that I love my t-shirt and the fact that they thought to send it. Would I still think it is a great company if they had not have sent anything? You betcha. And does my feeling of self-worth ride on whether or not I get an atta boy? Of course not. But those little things are a nice touch and very much appreciated. I have not been working at KS long enough to have done anything yet, plus I have been a bit poverty stricken lately, but in the past, I have occasionally sent chocolates or something to the head office to show MY appreciation too. It is a 2-way street. When you have a good working relationship, it doesn't hurt every now and then to say thanks ... I appreciate all you do. Just my opinion.
Hope everyone is having a nice Memorial Day weekend. Time to forget the nastiness and just relax and enjoy life.
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.
WMX-only 1 week first year no sick SM
6 holidays, but if you are supposed to work the holiday you have to request it off.
3 days of PTO 1st year NOT 1 week!
With the paid holidays. Absolutely not 1 week until you are there OVER a year, then 3.077 hours per pay period.
I did a 2-week stint with MQ last year...trust me...sm
Even with the growing pains TT is having, it is 100% better than my experience at MQ. It sometimes takes a while to get through, but the supervisors, QA, and tech support are 100% helpful and 100% polite.
The work on the new account is far better in quality of dictators and sound quality that what I saw at MQ. You can look up completed reports as reference, and you can look up your old reports to review your blanks, so getting up to speed is pretty easy. QA even e-mails you the physician name or referring facility you couldn't figure out.
The bonus schedule is substantially better than what I was given at MQ, and the base pay is higher. I have taken my time putting together my normal for each and every report, learning account specifics, and figuring out the names of the new doctors, but even then I am still at 80% of goal(and this is typing second shift after doing 600-700 lines a day on another job).
Just to make the comparison really accurate, this is my second week at TT. I had already decided at this point in the game MQ was not going to work. Don't be nervous about the negative things. Of course everything isn't sunshine, but I think you are going to like this just fine.
I would recommend joining the TT board on Yahoo. I am on there, and a lot of other extremely helpful and satisfied people. They helped me fill in some of the communication gaps and were very welcoming, too.
Been working for Cardioscribe for a year, never once did not get paid within one week of end of pay
Instead of complaining why don't you do, as I did, and just ask. The line counts are being finalized now and the bank deposit will be made tomorrow. As you mentioned, in past posts pay day is the 7th and 22nd, so start the complaining tomorrow if we do not get paid. I have worked here a year and never once did not get paid within 7 days of close of a pay period. That is pretty good compared to other places I have worked for that took 2 and 3 weeks to get paid for a period of time. For those of you that like to say nasty little things about Cardioscribe, quite often, please do us all a favor and find yourself another job and good luck to you. This will blow your mind I am sure, but I am not afraid to backup what I post with my name. Sheryl Cantrell. You are very welcome to contact me if you have questions and apparently do not know how to ask the right person to get answers. I know Tonya posted her name, email and phone number and none of you who seem so unhappy working here have contacted her. As I told her today, there is just some people that like to stir up trouble no matter where you work. If you can find a place that treats you with more respect, kindness, and never a problem getting paid, please go and be happy.
I got mine last week. It was postmarked 1/22/08. I actually have a refund coming this year! sm
I had been an IC for so long that I forgot how fun it is to get a refund, even if only $127!
I have been with Keystrokes for nearly a year now and have never (sm)
heard anything like that. I don't have access to any boards and if I have a question I usually ask my lead. However, I have gone to the word help board here but have never been reprimanded for it.
