Merry Christmas to you too! I think it is great that Transcend sends out gift cards to employees.

In Reply to: Would cost too many $$ to give bonus to the overseas help - Yup
I wonder how many other companies do that. Let's see, with over 1000 transcriptionists that is 25,000.
Again, thank you Transcend!

Last year, from Keystrokes we got Blockbuster gift cards for Christmas and for MT week sm
we got candles and candy. I always get a birthday card too, which is very nice.
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...
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!
Christmas morning here and not even a Merry Christmas

Merry Merry for Disgruntled Employees
A few of the posters on this thread - obviously disgruntled employees gone from TTS - have been posting the same hate for
2-3 years now - at least - that I can recall. I am usually pretty patient with angry people - they all seem to have been hurt in some way - but I really feel like I want to say to the complainers about TTS in this thread: We have all one time or another been treated unfairly, been misunderstood, had things not work out. It's called life. The bitterness that seems to consume you, the hatred that fairly drips from every one of your posts - make me - and I am sure everyone else reading them - think if you have this kind of attitude, this kind of insatiable anger and neurotic need to have the last word - it is pretty apparent whatever happened to you at TTS - and I am sure other companies - was most likely due in large part to you. Being unteachable, stubborn, seeing yourself always as the one who was wronged - and who is always right - does not lend itself to success - anywhere. I am sure you have found this to be true in your life, not just your employment. For a lot of MTs I know cpl and the going rate is not the most important thing. Yes, it is important - and up there no doubt - but there are other things to value in a job, some of them you can't put a price on. I am very happy at TTS, not in management, and so are many others. It is clear you were not. Once again, it’s called life, it's not always fair, we all do things that need forgiving and have things happen to us that need to be forgiven. None of us is perfect, whatever label or job description we may have. My wish for you this Holiday, for all of 2009 - that you get over it, you move on, see yourself more clearly, and find someone who will remind you everyday of all the good there is in each of us -- and that 2009 will be the best year you have ever had.
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. 
Merry Christmas to you, too!

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! 
Merry Christmas to you, too. I meant it.
That is so neat about your pandas. The nearest one to us is in DC. My kids have been watching the panda-cam forever. One of these days I have to bring them to the DC zoo. It will be worth it. Now I just need a day off...
What a charming individual you are -- thanks, and Merry Christmas to you. :-) nm

Merry Christmas to you! I would definitel;y tell your manager; a lot of things could have happened
I would not just forget it, and I disagree with you, it is relatively easy for things to happen - the mail could be lost, any number of things could have happened and have happened in the past. I would definitely tell your manager at Transcend that you did not get a card or gift card -- as the intent was for EVERY PERSON TO TO GET A CARD.
With that said, I would think about your employment. If you are not comfortable enough talking to your manager and would rather come out to a message board, you should seriously think about finding a company that you can be more comfortable with and truly enjoy.
It's a shame that Transcend tried to do something really nice for their employees and there are always one or two people that will still come on and bash. It does happen with every company though, I actually saw someone post about another company and asked Why did they only send us $25, that was cheap!.
LOL --
Merry Christmas mlstoo!! & All! Beautiful post, feel the same!!! nm

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.
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!
Transcend bought MDI, so if Transcend sends work offshore, so does MDI. nm

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?
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 . . . .
Transcend does more than Thank you cards...
We get it - you are unhappy. I love the company and many others do. There are a lot of companies out there. Why do you stay?
Transcend sends all the good work to India and leaves all the
garbage for the MTs in the States so they can keep the indian slime working. n donkeys are that do the work. Transcend is not a good place to work
Transcend pays 3 cents per line on holidays, plus sends a handwritten card to all
employees. I have worked for many companies and I have never seen a company that cares as much as Transcend.
E-mail me if you'd like more information.
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! 
Gift from Transcend! :) nm

I would love that! Great gift. Nothing yet from JLG. nm
..
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 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.
How was everyone's Thanksgiving?? Ours was great!! Now onward to CHRISTMAS!!!!
I hope all is well with everyone and that everyone enjoyed their holiday! This is just a note to wish everyone good health, wealth and long life! Live each day to the fullest as none of your tomorrows are guarantted to you! And may each and every one of your dreams come true! Take care everybody! Hey RadGuy....where are you??? Haven't heard from you in a while!
Attn: Any Transcend employees or former employees
I have been offered a job with Transcend, but I am not completely sure about it yet and I need some input from you guys. I have read positives and negatives regarding this company but alot of it was pretty old information. Can anyone give me some recent feedback on them? Thanks very much!!!
Transcend sent the employees....sm
an e-mail stating that they're planning to embark on a TEST PILOT with an offshore vendor for a very minimal amount of reports. This doesn't mean that the company will definitely decide to go that route permanently. Also they didn't state what country it would be -so those below guessing India may be wrong because there is transcription going out to other countries as well by various companies.
The company could have not said anything to the employees and no one would have known. Instead they chose to be open and honest and some people on the boards here want to knock an employer that is honest. They could have chosen to try to hide it like some of the others have.
I prefer up front honesty as opposed to behind the doors dealings any day with any company.
Hello Transcend employees
I did the testing today and received a response. I have an interview this week and am very excited to hear what a stable company this is after reading the posts. If the insurance is pretty good, not too high of a premium, I'll be extremely happy! I applied for an eScription account, read that platform was good (yay).
TransTech is great to its employees like that
I had the same experience working with TT. They are really great to their MTs because they make it clear there (my supervisors especially :) that the happier we are the better we do for us, the company, and the hospital and patients.
If we worry or get upset, our production goes down then we worry more and onward.
They have been around the block and are very wise I believe in treating each and every MT as important...and in return they have our loyalty and our hard work! I love working with them... and am grateful to have found such a great company and people. Glad you are not worrying anymore and congrats on relaxing!
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.
How many employees does Transcend have? I have heard
3000 and 5000 and now 300. Does anyone know?
Transcend's longtime employees
Ive read here that Transcend has a lot of employess who have been there a long time, they must be doing something right? I see a lot of negative here about Transcend and so I am trying to even that out a little bit. Also they do not offshore. I wonder if the unhappy MTs from Transcend were MTs who didnt work there long and did not give them a chance? Thoughts? 
Current Transcend Employees
Would you refer a friend to Transcend at this point in time as one of the best to work for as far as nationals go? Why or why not?
Question for Transcend employees (not ICs)
Is Transcend flexible about schedules for full time employees? I want to work full time as an employee (not an IC, which I had thought I would try, but don't want the tax hassle), but I can't have a schedule that I have to be nailed down to (like 8 to 4 every day) - I will work my required hours per week, but I'm in college and my schedule changes every semester so I need to be able to go with the flow. Any feedback?
Transcend gave the employees....sm
1. A gift card.
2. A card signed by the president, vice president and others in the office.
3. An announcement today about a matching 401(k) program starting in 2007.
Current Transcend employees - how about (sm)
their platform? Is it anything like DocQScribe or is it like Dictaphone ExText?
Also, I understand there are schedules but is there any flexibility? Do they work with you if you need to change times for unexpected events, etc.?
Is the work pretty constant? I know it fluctuates greatly this time of year, but am speaking generally.
Any other info appreciated. E-mail if you wish.
TIA
Question for Transcend EMPLOYEES
I am trying to be optimistic and am looking forward to having benefits. I have not had benefits in YEARS...I also would love to have employee status with all my taxes taken out. Here is my concern... I cannot seem to get a clear answer on the pay scale. All I hear is that it depends... so many variable. Well, I know this. Some people need more insurance than other, etc., but what is the average cpl for straight type and what is the average cpl for VR. I do not see why that is so hard to answer. I know my pay will decrease automatically just due to the taxes being taken out that I am not used to and I assume that I will be paying for what ever insurance I get out of my paycheck as well, so why else would Transcend decrease my pay rate? Like I said, I am trying to have hope here and not panic, but I have bills to pay and I am not sure just how much I can afford to be an employee and have benefits even if I do want them.
Thanks in advance.
