Hey, I'm not radmt!
Leave me out of this!
RadMT
Hey, you did not get back to me. Did the other fall through or what?
my post was to the above by Radmt???
s
To RadMT--not to change the subject..ha ha..sm
but I was wondering if you had gotten any feed back on the word board question you posted the other night with *gracing*? I am just curious. thanks.
Tried KS too..radMT...the worst speaking...
physician I have ever had. I absolutely could not understand a word he was saying and had to leave as well. 100% true. Just make sure to ask about the level of difficulty of the ESL's on your assigned account BEFORE you take the position. God awful mess and very disappointing. 
Who did she fire?
Can you give the initials? Just curious. I keep seeing the e-mails coming through for quality department positions. I wondered what was up.
Did they actually tell you they would fire you?
I am ignoring the paperwork until pushed. How do they know I even got it? My attorney says that arbitration agreement would not stand up in a court of law anyhow.
They cannot fire you just because you
are pregnant. There would have to be a cause as you are an employee. It is discrimination if they get rid of you just because you are expecting.
They can't fire an ex-employee.

where there's smoke there's fire!
Obviously more than one person has come forward and said they were told work is going to India. The person who told me was not a "mere" MT. Everyone knows they're sending work to India but no one on this site is going to stand by their promise of USA companies only! I'm sure Webmedx is not far from turning into another Medware and trying to turn all us MTs in to janitors to clean by the C**P that these Indians put out. This is just another example of the big companies turning our jobs over to India and then waving their flags trying to hide what they are about. I can't believe this site actually expects companies to "publish" they're stabbing us in the back while they're smiling to our faces asking us to come to work for them (until they decide they want editors and not MTs).
Wake up Administrator! No one is going to admit they're the "bad guys"! When are we Americans going to start standing up for own jobs!!
They don't like to fire people, so when they
would like someone to leave for whatever reason, they get the no work thing or the worst dictators. Until this week I could work 24/7. Never, ever (except during hurricanes) have I not got my lines, rarely have to call for work, NEVER told to take a day off.
let them fire you ... and collect
As long as you are not being fired for not keeping to your schedule/agreement, etc., I'm pretty sure you can collect when fired (even if you weren't making your line count, were ill, etc.) It's much harder to collect (and easier for them to dispute the claim) when you resign.
Spheris WILL NOT give you a good reference. They make a permanent note on your record so you can't re-apply either. So forget that!
IMO, you should just wait it out, if you can, and collect while you're looking for something worthwhile.
Good luck.
frying pan to fire.
stay away and see if MQ gets their act together.
and it is rapid-fire
questions, bam, bam, bam. so have a cup of coffee about 1/2 hour before. When I took it the recruiter actually apologized for their line rate.
Maybe so they can fire the slackers? nm
.
If I'm not mistaken, they can't fire you for doing so
.
Most MT services can fire you "at will" and it is in most
contracts that you sign.
However, I will tell you working in QA that generally if an MT has quality issues, they have had enough feedback to warrant it. I just do not think there is any place for someone that has a problem with quality.
However, the fair thing to do in my opinion is to limit reports until the quality issues have a chance to go up and then if they do not, then someone might be out the door.
You will find another job. Just try to work on your quality so this does not happen again.
So you would fire one for exercising RIGHT to free

After their email the other day about looking to fire people, I'd say …
x
why the water bucket being thrown on the fire
?
I know people there who need to be fired and they won't fire them. That just simply sm
is not true. They are a very nice company. They have benefits which include PTO and sick time.
can you give initials? Trying not to jump into the fire.
nm
That's hilarious..and then when they call to fire you for not doing them..Tell them TOO LATE..
I quit...MONTHS AGO..LOL
This is crazy. Every week another company goes under fire. sm
I want to change from MQ to save my sanity, but every week when I check out the postings, there is another company that is being lynched. This is a tough crowd, isn't it? I don't know how to weed through and figure out what is hype good and bad versus what is real. I think I would be better off spinning a wheeling or flipping a coin than trying to balance out what is true here.
Does anyone else feel this way? Where can we go for real answers?
I would fire someone for biting the hand that feeds them
it has nothing to do with free speech but it MIGHT have something to do with defammation of character or slander, whichever is appropriate.
The email was not about looking to fire people. Yes, they are hiring. sm
The email stated that everyone must maintain certain levels for production and for QA in order to stay a Keystrokes' employee.
They were reassuring us that even in this depression or recession, or whatever it is being called now, we will have work to do and that they are still growing.
There are 2 openings on my account, so I know that they are hiring, and there is a new account starting next week too.
No its true, they will FIRE YOU after 3 days of training
...IF you dont hit 98%. they are just unreasonable in this manner. Totally ridiculous, like the ones firing you are not human and never had to learn anything to get WHERE THEY ARE!
Too much info often makes fuel for fire for those looking to flame (sm)
If an individual is actually looking exactly what is wrong with E-mailing that individual? A person can post hateful comments anonymously on this board, but when you are E-mailing back and forth people tend to be more friendly and less critical. JMO
My hubs retired as a fire captain. Great benefits, thank God! nm

Most contracts said either party can quit or fire at any time. Would be unusual to get locked into
s
Thought TX was "at will" employment?? or fire/quit immediately w/o reason
x
No, some of the rest of us can do that too.
But if she types 2,400 in 8 hours, to be full time she will have to type 26,400 in an average pay period and I think that is requiring to much as a minimum just because she is fast. And expecting her to slow down just to spread it into 40 hours a week is silly.
They are just like all the rest: Pay so so,
tech support okay, accounts okay, people okay, not great and can be rude. Do not dare get cancer is all I can say.
Do you know something the rest of
If you do, please share it. Otherwise, please, we have enough to worry about. Why should I get out now. Nothing has changed. If it does change, then I will act accordingly, but acting in a blind panic right now is wasted energy. If and when it does change, then I will find another company or get my own accounts. Otherwise, I am not going to freak out.
DSG is just like the rest of them
They only answer what they feel like answering.
Here we go. Let it rest, will ya? Please?
With sugar on top! Everything you said was valid and great. But please just let this thread chill out.
Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but.sm
she was very good to me and for that I am thankful.
And who exactly is the rest?
Are you referring to the rest of us who refuse to work for unethical companies who ignore the labor laws?
Why don't you tell the rest of us who have no work
which account you are working on so I'll know which account to request to be moved to. I am constantly without work and nobody seems to give a crap. Everytime I tell my lead I'm having a problem, either with the system locking up or no work, she lies and says she has the same problem so I'll shut up about it. This is really aggravating.
Well you should share with the rest of us then.
his employer and we pay over $600 a month out of his check for it and his employer pays part of it too. When I worked in a hospital I had great insurance for a little of nothing. I have kept in touch with my friends from the hospital who still work there and they tell me that is no longer the case. They pay a lot now for insurance that is not very good.
Oh give it a rest -
I posted just for KICKS for the record, because I sort of EXPECTED the (mostly) ridiculous posts received so far...
Just for kicks, I wanted to see if the COMPLAINERS on the board all the time would step up - or if they just wanted to continue to whine.
Please share with the rest of us!
I see the same stuff as the rest of you sm
I do have an MT who has a tenuous grasp on plain English grammar and punctuation. If I see 2-days time rather than 2 days' time one MORE TIME I think I will scream! I have sent loads of feedback and on about every thing else, she has seemed to listen, but this one thing...
Then you have the really good MTs whose work is outstanding, but they are the kind who won't show up every day.
I am still MTing quite a bit and have a reputation as being very fast and very accurate, but I doubt myself on both those things. I don't read my work all the time and I still have raves on audits. I attribute that to skill and to the fact that I CARE about my work. Why are there so few of us?
QA has taught me many things about the level of my skills and for that, I grateful. I wish I could be a better teacher as a QA person and help others get to where I am.
Give it a rest. (sm)
All opinions are welcome here. Just because you don't share the same opinion doesn't mean you can make it personal.

They need to give it a rest already...sm
Just goes to show, they are not getting inudated with resumes. That place is a pain in the patottie and will always be, who cares about Nuance.....
Give it a rest OK?
I was hired for Radiology, but by the time they fixed the bugs in the platform (about a week) the client decided to do their own VR. Guess what? I got transferred to work I had less experience with and left to the mercy of merciless QAs...
Gradually the patience and extra effort I made to make this relationship work waned as did the we really appreciate your patience and effort rah rah's from management.
YOU may love your job and have no problems, but please don't lecture those of us who had a much different experience despite OUR best efforts.
Oh...okay..then...with your case at rest...
we won't have to read any more of such ridiculous babble.
Give it a rest...
why not enjoy the day off? You are constantly complaining about TT so please leave already! I for one always look forward to a little extra time off when work is slow..no big deal if you are prepared for it. Work always tends to be slow at this time of the year anyway. Enough with acting like a child...obviously this company isn't for you. Call **** and let her know how you feel, stop coming here.
At least now this thread can be put to rest. sm
I knew from the first post that something didn't add up. I just hope everyone who followed it, finally realizes how bogus it all was and that LM is still the same reputable company it's always been.
This is one sad/sorry thread.
Don't know where the rest of my post went but...
I would post your question on another site. Too much bitterness and hate towards pregnant MTs here.
Well, if you are on the DEP you are running out of work also just like the rest of us do.
