well i have received gifts from employers
and i too have been in the business for over 30 years, in various capacities, various states and on-line. I have received everything from nice cash bonuses, to fruit baskets and smoked turkeys. But i never 'expect' a gift and rarely see one anymore from employers. Nowadays with all the so-called political correctness, they'd probably be in trouble if they didn't offer similar gifts for every various religion's major holiday....
What's greedy about it? Have always received xmas gifts/bonus as employee

Regarding Gifts..
I have always received business gifts and cards, not huge gifts, small seasonal gifts, cards of goodwill, etc. Even a sincere Happy Holidays is nice. I don't know if you meant to address this to me or not. I wasn't complaining about a gift..
gifts
I received a throw blanket with the company logo...kinda nice, but I would have preferred a paycheck that did not bounce. I have had three checks bounce and only one has been rectified. Happy Holidays!
It's not how old we are and it's not about gifts...DER!
why assume that acknowledgement translates into a gift? That word was never used except by you. We did get a very nice Happy MT Week email, so case closed.
I wonder if they still give little gifts to the MTs. nm

HOW DARE YOU ?!?!?!? We have gotten gifts every sm
MT week, cards for every birthday, Christmas gifts.
Obviously you are NOT one of the managers or you would know that THEY not SHE give a lot to everyone.
What is your problem ??????
Thanks OSi for the MT week gifts
Received today a nice OSi t-shirt and also notification of a donation made in my name to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, along with a pen and pad from the foundation. Very nice.
Any Christmas gifts/bonuses from...
Any Christmas bonuses or gifts from Futurenet Technology?
CHRISTMAS GIFTS FROM COMPANIES
Well, last year I received an email from the owner of the company that indicated that a nice surprise would be arriving in the mail. Initially, I was impressed; thought that was very nice; I thought that maybe they were sending a gift card or something. However, It turned out to be the company calendar. All during the holidays, there were absolutely no personal greetings from any of the supervisors, managers or company owner with HAPPY HOLIDAYS, MERRY CHRISTMAS or HAPPY NEW YEAR, etc. The only mention of the holidays was an email from my supervisor with a request to give my preference for which holiday I would be working, and then to receive an assignment back from her, indicating whether my preference was approved or not. My first choice was denied.
This year, I'm with a different company. I have received no calendars or cards or anything solid. A few of the managers and QA had holiday greetings written in their status sections on the chat board. Despite the fact that I am an employee, nobody forced me to work on any holiday, just asked me whether I would be working or not. Despite there being no SPECIAL TREAT arriving in the mail, I think I prefer my current company's approach.
Last year's company could have kept the calendar, as far as I'm concerned. The company owner could have sent everyone a freebie ecard and I would have been more impressed, had more warm, fuzzy feelings, etc., etc. She could have done this without spending a single cent.
Bottom line is that I would much rather receive a kindly greeting from the major players than to receive a calendar or a mug or pen with their advertisements displayed on it.
Just my opinion, of course.
I forgot a couple gifts
A couple years they gave us calendars, which of course had things in the date boxes related to Spheris, but on the top pages they had dictation blopers from the doctors, some of those were pretty funny.
Don't stress over gifts at Christmas -
that is NOT what the holiday is about - haven't been able to afford gifts for MANY years now - and when I can again I will be VERY conservative about it.
We have been brainwashed to think we HAVE to exchange gifts.
The best year was when I cooked a really good meal for all and placed one small gift at each place setting.
Anyone get any Christmas gifts from your MTSO this year? If so, what?
:)
Aren't gifts a "voluntary" thing...
This is one of my pet peeves. Let the company decide on a yearly basis if they want to give a gift. A gift is no longer a gift if it is expected and kept track of. But, all in all, Merry Christmas to all.
Calling other people's gifts "cheesy", are ya? Not nice
nm
What world do you guys live in where you EXPECT GIFTS? SM
people are unemployed all over this country. Count your blessings.
Wow, expecting a gift. CHILDREN expect gifts. Maybe..
your gift is the fact that you have a job during this current economic crisis. If you get something, fine; if not, are you going to quit? You still have 4 days to wait by your mailbox for your gift, if you should get one.
JLG used to send birthday gifts (not "bonuses"). It was a nice thought though! Don't know

Good and Bad - some gifts bought/missed WMX benefits call (sm)
Of course I procrastinated to attend the call on my day off, then off I went with my daughter shopping.
Did I miss anything much other than explanation of health plans? Is there a web site they referred to you? Should I call HR and admit I am a moron?
TIA
Nada...... Can't complain though, great line rate is worth no extra gifts at X-mas. nm

I received one of those once-sm
I read through the whole thing before realizing what the heck this applicant was doing. At first, I thought she accidentally sent me some patient's report!
Yup, you definitely should have received it. It's on 2/29 at 2 PM CST
I would contact Vicky in the office if you never received the e-mail because it is a mandatory conference.
I received from
the old payroll company but not the new.
Any MDI-MD MTs received W2's?
I had mine by this time last year, just wondering if anyone else has rec'd theirs yet, and if I should check into it...
No. The only letter I have received is the
September 2nd letter announcing the upcoming Rewards Plan.
Yes, if ASR pay is being reduced that is a pay cut. It is A pay cut. The above post made implication that there was a pay cut across the board, "... the pay cut ...".
I just don't see a need to be careless with that kind of assumption.
I have received nothing about the ASR reduction. However, I do not do ASR and it may have only gone to those MTs.
At least you received a reply! SM
I tested almost two weeks ago and still no word. I find a lot of the companies just don't ever get in touch anymore. That's just rude! 
You already received 3 answers below .. maybe that's all there is? nm

received the email, nm
received the email
I received the e-cards as well - sm
I'll bet we have the same liason! I really like her and thought it was very thoughtful of her to take the time to do this.
I have never really received more money for it BUT if you want to do
it for yourself, do it! I have been able to get other jobs other than MT just by having it because whether or not it means anything to other MTs, it always looks good to have a professional credential after your name if you are in any kind of mentoring position, QA, or management. I wanted it because I wanted to expand what I did and even though it might not have been required, it looks credible. Nothing wrong with doing it for yourself for no reason at all. It is a difficult test and to take it and pass it makes you feel good inside. Some companies do pay a differential per line or for doing QA can reap you more per hour. Again it is a personal choice and no it does not make you a better MT but it certainly makes you feel like you have accomplished something. We need things like feelings of accomplishment in what we do for a living. It's the only credential our field offers and I see nothing wrong with wanting to get it. Go for it and good luck.
I also received a computer
today and will be starting soon. I am really looking forward to it. So far, everyone has been very professional and kind. I like the fact that they take the time and go through the expense of mailing a professionally done packet of new hire paperwork and then providing the means for you to send it back to them via fed ex. Most companies email you tons of attachments that you have to use up a ton of ink to print out...then they expect you to fax it all back...which if you don't own a fax, you have to pay lots to fax 10-20 pages. The company seems very organized. They even sent FedEx labels for me to keep just in case I have to return the equipment for any reason. I hope that things continue to go well and hopefully, I have found my home.
I know that Spheris offshores however, I feel that US MTs will always be in high demand, because there will always be hospitals/docs who refuse to have their work done by overseas MTs.
Has anyone who received the mass
emailing from Keystrokes received the promised phone call yet? I have not and am just wondering
I am one of a # of people who received SM
a check equal to about 4 months' pay from them for avoiding overtime pay. That is no rumor. That FACT was investigated by the Pennsylvania Dept of Labor and Diskriter was forced to pay out rightfully owed overtime pay because they repeatedly, verbally and in writing, demanded mandatory overtime and made statements that we were to only write in 40 hours for that week or face disciplinary action.
FACT. Not rumor.
Received the Same Offer
Do you mind if I ask who you work for?
Pay? Yeah right - you never received your pay.
Don't even go there - they cannot even pay on time or even let you know that it is going to be late - even when it is Christmas time of all times. They are very bad, disorganized and the rudest people ever. Stay far away.
I received a gift as well. s/m
I really appreciated it as I have only been working for this company for a few months. It's nice to be remembered at all.
I haven't received it. Please try again.

I received one this week
It had some interesting comments about hospitals and costs of transcription as well as pay for MTs not rising since 1998, which is what I had noticed more or less.
I also see one of their top people mentioned is a former supervisor of mine at MQ. She was very nice. Perhaps I'll apply there!
I havent received anything. nm

I sent resume and received no
invitation to test, response or acknowledgment.
So, if this is a scam, what is the catch? What would anyone want with a bunch of MT resumes? If it is a joke, I supose there could be some sick humor there, but what's the punchline? I still don't get the point of something like this.
I received mine.....
I had my computer before the phone call. I had to set it up before training.
no email received
can you provide more info?
This packet we just received is merely
supplemental ins. That is what AFLAC is; it is not a primary insurance coverage. They do have other insurance, from what I hear, and if full coverage is needed, you do need to talk to Vicki in the office!!! I hear it is kinda pricy, though...
