for employees on this particular board, it is for the MTs to share information about companies. I know this isn't an MT.

sups, mgmt, recruiters...
And whatever almighty names you wanna call yourselves. This is someone you can learn from.
that's too bad..maybe it's the recruiters accusing others of being recruiters...

LOL! No, I'm FAR from mgmt!
Nemesis would have been closer ;) Believe me, I have STUDIED this company and would be the first to zing them if I felt it was earned.
Former MQ Mgmt = HIS Mgmt
..
U'r KS mgmt - I do my job, so had better you
Only someone in mgmt at the co. would keep posting like this, and be so seriously upset. I can just see an MT defending someone they work for like this, LOL.
The IC co. I just left did the same thing. Always responding pretending to be an MT. LOL.
Like I SD - you better believe my pay better be in my acct on the day it is supposed to be there. Not 1-2 days late. You want me ON TIME on the job, you want me to be responsible, give you advance warning of days off, do a quality job, to work the hours I am scheduled. LOL - that goes 2 ways - you better do YOUR job and ON TIME.
Yes I am in Mgmt.
I see it as part of my job to check things and keep it fair.
Now the recruiters have gotten
Take it to the job seekers board and post away. I don't believe you are a happy MT. It sounds like you want to recruit some happy MTs.
Those recruiters will say anything SM
to keep you talking to them. Come back after you've spoken with the supervisor because I am willing to bet they aren't going to be flexible other than 30 minutes either way on a shift and definitely no 12-hour window.
Think what you wish? I know several recruiters
and they make much more than $35000.
MTs for recruiters
Maybe instead of overworking the recruiters, those of us who want jobs should be hired as recruiters, MTs and QA people. At least we would know what NOT to do!!
MT RECRUITERS, INC.
Anyone know anything about these people?
What's up with TT recruiters?
I emailed a resume with an immediate response. Emailed back with question and then received a reply but now that I have emailed back, nothing for days and days. Makes me wonder.......
was it one of those RECRUITERS? lol

The recruiters for SS are just as bad!
All around smarmy situation here, worse than anything I've ever seen. And I've been in this biz a long time...
I loved when they sent around the memo to nominate them for MTSO of the year.  Were they serious or just rubbing in their nastiness?
Exactly! Get rid of the recruiters, the
secretaries to the secretaries, the assitants to the assistant manager/supervisor, etc., most of the human resources personnel, even some of the so-called techs who don't know as much about computers as I do! Trim the fat in other places besides the ones who are actually producing the document which earns the company money! Why cut the ones generate actual REVENUE rather than the office fluff & executive-type positions?
U can try discussing it with mgmt but you will just
be discriminated against because u do not think what they do is the best thing since fried grits. If the program is so wonderful, why all the problems, the notes on the private board about major issues never resolved. Why does it break down every day? Why are line counts so hard to get? Say a word to mgmt about anything and u pay the price by getting nothing but garbage for dictators and garbage accounts.
They could save a lot of money by trashing this program and starting from scratch cuz MLS could actually produce some work on something decent.
They must be in co-hoots with OSI's mgmt
so lame
I'm not mgmt. I don't even work there, but was
My choice was between TT and another company. The other company went higher than 9 cpl, and I went with them.
Should be -- Don't KNOW if she means mgmt.

re: Word/mgmt
When I applied, Word 2000 and Excel 2000 was the minimum that you needed.. I did ask about the bounced checks, etc and was told that they do not currently have an issue but it was at one time.
Every reason to believe? Oh, boy. I think mgmt (sm)
has better things to do than sit around on these boards all day. Trust issues, huh?
Did you not think that QA and mgmt were in contact?
nm
My advice - look elsewhere. They (mgmt) is
extremely rude and feedback is insulting.
OMG! That explains it, then. MQ mgmt, and
ex-management are literally scum. After that enlightenment, I wouldn't say I was smart to send MDI-MD packing, but rather my MQ disgust radar was going off, and I didn't know why. Isn't that bizarre? That happened to me at another company a while back - one I was checking out before leaving MQ, and I accidentally recognized one of the names of management on a group email, and inquired. Sure enough, it was a company started by all ex-MQ mgmt. I tried to stay the course, but it was just the same old BS under a different company name. So sad, as I had heard great things about MDI-MD as well. Thus, my willingness to give them a shot. That's really a shame. Lots and lots of MQ MTs left MQ for them as well, and I know not many of us can handle any additional financial hits right now. So sad. People get the courage to leave one monster, and end up in the monster's spawn. Sorry if I offend anyone, but if you know MQ, you can relate.
Mgmt is US based but BAD!!!
Since the US management took over, there is no work and many Focus MTs have either quit - like myself - or have acquired 2nd employers so they make money. No work, bad management, accounts leaving, payroll always coming up short now, no decent QA, management that won't answer your IMs and if you call team leader you are called stupid, a liar, a worthless retard and basically they hate you and will fire you. I would personally avoid the company. It was better and more honest and work flow was great when the Indians managed Focus!
That seems all you have done . . . TransTech mgmt ????
So silly . . . .
sure sounds like T mgmt, but thats okay.

Recruiters and their Styles
It seems the more telephone interviews I go through the stranger they become. You really have to wonder how a lot of so-called MT recruiters ever got hired to recruit. Where on this planet did these companies dig them up from?!!! Sometimes you are asked the strangest questions. It is usually like they don't even have your resume in front of them, never saw your test results, etc. Ask them questions and try to get straight answers...What a nightmare...Any funny stories to tell???
I think the job of recruiters is to get people to
work for the company. If you are qualified and past testing they want you. Some recruiters get paid a bonus for each hire, others just need to have new hires to show they are doing their job. I have had dealings with one recruiter who told me what a wonderful account they wanted me to work on, that people on it just loved it and there was rarely an opening so I should count my blessings. I talked to the team leader and she told me about the account and how hard it was and that they couldn't keep MTs on it. I had worked on that account at a different company and I knew for a fact how hard it was. Fortunately for me the team leader was honest, because had I taken the job based on the recruiter I would have quit the next day.
I think a recruiter should be as honest as they can be because it costs money to hire and train and if the MT isn't going to stay because what she was told and what IS was to different things it doesn't look good. I have had recruiters who are not/have never been MTs and they haven't a clue what you are talking about half the time.
I have adopted Oprah's advice - doubt means don't. If I don't have a good feeling about a company I won't take the job.
Have you asked their recruiters? -nm

Clique/recruiters
Maybe it is one recruiter who works for several companies. A clique of one!
There are recruiters who work for more than sm
one company and they could play an obstacle game with an applicant who refused an offer from one company and applied to the other. People can be fickle and mean.
I see some QA/MT folks do become recruiters from
thread below. Does anyone know how to break into this? I believe I would be very good at this and I don't believe I have ever seen any ads for recruiters.
If I have never seen any ads, how do some of the recruiters who have been/are MTs/QA manage to find the positions that they do in order to allow them to change companies when some of us have never seen an ad to allow us to even enter that end of the field?
I would love to know because I think it would be very interesting.
Would you recommend just to start emailing all companies or calling them, or do you think it would be a waste of time?
Dear Recruiters: I would like to sm
know why you don't state in your job ad what kind of internet connection is needed. Mainly, I would like to know if satellite is acceptable so I know whether or not to even pursue it. Some do say so, but many do not. I really just wonder why. It wastes the time of the recruiter with useless email questions and the MT's time trying to find out.
Recruiters: Thank you for sharing sm
I am really embarrassed for those people, but I am also having a good laugh. I bet you all really need to vent. Do you have a network of recruiters where you can go? I am glad to have a glimpse of your world. Now I know why some of those ads are in caps - YOU MUST KNOW HOW TO DO THIS OR DO NOT APPLY! Honestly, they sound hostile, and I skip by them, but at least now I know why.
aren't we ALL recruiters for the
company we work for. Obviously we like where we work since we are employed there....and don't we all then recruit others who are in the job market....
I think most recruiters are full of HOT AIR, and -
during the recruiting/testing/hiring process, they promise a heckuva lot more than the company ever actually delivers. There are already too many 'suits' lurking on this board, as it is.
More Ditsy recruiters
A few weeks ago a recruiter from a company whose initials are SGS called me. She was not ditzy, just had no knowledge of business etiquette at all. I thought to myself that if it was this much of a pain to deal with them in a telephone conversation, what would it be like to work for them? I think a lot of these companies do not realize that the people they put on the phone are often the only chance they will get to make a good impression. This woman needed to go to charm school.
Actually, all the MTSO recruiters have been sm
at multiple companies over their careers, I don't think she is the only one. I remember there was a Gary at Medscribe in Jacksonville who ended up at 3 other services over the years.
send it to everyone BUT mgmt. Make sure it's just to the MTs. sm
what are they gonna do? fire you? LOL
They also did not change the MGMT insurance
and that's just not right. Seems the ones who are making them all that money for their BIG salaries are the ones who are suffering. VERY UNFAIR.
Don't ever forget that HR works for MGMT and not
Adept Word Mgmt.
I used to work for them when I lived in Texas and I did not like them at all. Don't bother....
At the risk of being called mgmt, I have to say (sm)
that when I started 2 years ago my very first check was direct deposited, but I can't remember how much time they had to do it. I DO remember I was shocked, because the company I had come from always told us, it took several pays before it went through. I think it was because they just didn't bother with the paperwork involved.
TT Mgmt says more is going to VR by Dictaphone and Escription
Trying every way to cut our pay. Less and less regular transcription. Of course, as mgmt says, this is the wave of the future. But how do we explain that 1/2 cut in pay to our mortgage companies and be able to put gas in our car to go anyway. Horrible thing happening in this MT field for the MT's.
lol! i'm not mgmt and not scared, just wanted to
share my opinion. I'm just a plain 'ole MT, wouldn't want to be in management or an MTSO. Had a couple of my own local clinic accounts some years back, but one of the doctors went out of business, and I gave the other one to a friend because I was tired of driving 30 minutes one way to pick up tapes and deliver.
Bottom Line -- Mgmt always says that
cherry-picking is not allowed and will be dealt with; however, it very rarely is. If management is not going to take care of it, nothing you can do. Just type and go on. This way, you will get up to speed on these dictators and it will not matter in the long run.
When MDI mgmt posts on these boards
they don't hide behind a moniker. They use their real names. People will think what they want to think, but I'm with the OP on this one!
Just because we can't see it doesn't mean mgmt isn't dealing with it. (sm)
Hopefully they are still monitoring this. The only time I really noticed a problem was a few months ago, they had hired some new people on my main account and they evidently didn't like foreign accents. After a few days an E-mail came out about cherry picking and those people were gone, either to another account or company, I don't know.
It is VERY clear Web mgmt does not care at all about their MTs.
If they did, this overhiring and scrambling for work wouldn't happen constantly as it does now. They can keep their townhall meetings and cookbooks and let us work consistently.
I'm sure the team leads and mgmt SM
are keeping track of line counts, right? Then they should be quite aware of who isn't getting their count in and contacting those people to find out what the problem is.
