your job? I am supposedly dependent and yet have set hours I am supposed to work and only if asked to work overtime is that varied from. I really love my job and do not mind the hours but was asked to let them know at first which hours I could work and would be working.

So SE lose their SE bonus, lose the ability to work as much or little as they want and just
basically lose all around with no gain that I can see. Well, good for MQ. I am sure a lot of people will be moving on.
Think of it this way, if they do lose the account, you lose your job. Just do your part and be a te

me three! that company is a lose-lose situation if you want

no exp with this, but what have you got to lose?

I think its use it or lose it. (sm)
Can't carry it over year to year. I think if you don't use what you have earned before your termination day you lose it, most calculate what they have and take it in lieu of working their last day or 2. I would call them directly on the telephone and ask though. Forget the email, talk to a real person with the answer in the HR dept.
Use it or Lose it?
How can this be? If you are leaving the company, then you evidently cannot use it. There is ridiculous.
Well, you'd lose that bet... :)
Re: I'm betting, though, that you just want stay on these boards to stir the pot and whine.
Sorry, you'd lose that bet, but thanks for that useful information anyway.
Curious: Why are you judging me so harshly? My post was to see WHO would step up to helping RESEARCH the possibilities...
Let's not lose this

Did you lose this job from the
good company because they expected you to work? To look at it as a real job?
When people who work at home only work when they feel like it, it reflects on the rest of us. Maybe that contributes to the our salaries going down and being offshored. We don't look like we need or want to work.
Thanks for the contribution to our demise.
You'd lose that bet
because if MY company sold for 16.7 million, I absolutely WOULD have given all 450 people a decent bonus. (The world is full of stingy people, but I am not one of them).
I can tell you the news of the merger would have gone over MUCH better had she shared her good fortune with the folks who helped her acquire it.
So its nice for you to come to this person's defense but I don't believe she didn't CLEAR enough to share.
Where do you turn if you have went
to your supervisor and even one step above to her supervisor and still get the same BS - what then? I have begged and pleaded for over a year to be taken off the account I am on now and be placed back on my orginal account. In one ear and out the other. I had no problem with them either until they put me on this account "only to help out." With all the office closing it is like talking to some secret agent when you try talking to a supervisor - you get NO WHERE.
I'm sorry to show my ignorance, but where is SL?
I am very glad that you are happy and I do hope that it stays that way for you. I used to feel the same way. I never had a problem with communicating until all this closing office stuff started. I think as a long time employee I do have a right to know what is going on, but that is just me.
My turn
I returned to KS 3 months ago after leaving and going back to MQ. Talk about a company in trouble? MQ should go into the Guiness Book. I am back with KS and happy as can be. KS will continue to grow because the owner is honest and sincere. I know because of how she has helped me personally with several issues. So, for those who bash KS, ignore them please. There is no perfect MT company in this country and there never will be. For me, KS is home for good. For others, it just may have not been in the cards.
you then turn off the TV - get over yourself...nm

Turn it down!
How many hours a day will you need to work in order to make good money??!! Let them edit their own work for peanuts. I can make more transcribing than sifting through garbage dictations from not-so-great MTs.
I would turn them in for sure! Nothing OSi does
would surprise me. I quit working for them because of all the phone calls to work on my day off, etc. That company is so unprofessional and unorganized. 
Enough to turn me off, too! nm

Why would they turn on her? Because most likely, she's one that
Like these ads that state Must have at least 20 years of experience, no exceptions, must work well independently, must be dependable, must know our software inside and out, and must be able to produce 1500 lines a day (... and oh, yeah, pay is 7 cpl). Sorry, but any self-respecting person would take a job that pays more for the same amount of work! That's a given. This MTSO says she does the same - finds the MTs that will do the same amount of work for less pay and grabs them. Absolutely no difference. It works both ways, show some loyalty and respect and you'll receive that in return. Something tells me if she found an MT willing to work for an even lower rate than the ones she has now, she'd dump her current MTs in a heartbeat so she could rack up more money in her piggy bank. Pathetic. All that said, I don't even believe a word she says. Smells like a troll to me.
Yes, I turn one in.
I have worked for other companies on Bayscribe where I have not been required to turn in a line count, but Oracle does request you turn one in. It really is no big deal.
You do not have to turn one in and you will
Since you are IC, they want to cover THEIR bases with the IRS by saying you have invoiced them, when in reality, they couldn't care less about your invoice; they pay you what they get on line count, not what you come up with.....
Of course, that is completely illegal but it is done anyway. according to IRS guidelines, as an IC you determine pay rate and YOU invoice them for the amt owed you, but they are not following that. Like I said, they are just trying to cover themselves in case someone said anything but on the other hand, wage and hour would definitely be interested in their practices as well as the IRS.
Many do this, however....
Did you turn them down?
After your schooling (as it sounds like you got a job elsewhere).
If so, was it a cpl issue?
Thanks for any further info.
Because they will lose more experienced MTs...
And they need to ensure that they have enough people to handle the accounts. If they bait the newbies with the good $ now, then they can put them on editing and cut the pay later but will have a large enough work force to handle the work. That is the reason for the lack of work right now. They have overhired in anticipation of the mass exodus that is currently happening and will continue to happen over the next couple of months. The newbies will be brainwashed with the good pay into believing that Transcend is the best thing since bubble gum and will try to make it work because, as you may know, when you are a newbie, you are happy to get that first good MT job and are more willing to put up with the BS while they work the kinks out of the system, etc., whereas seasoned MTs aren't going to put up with that crap.
lose our jobs?
But, that is what we are already doing. I say UNITE - Now! Is it so difficult to see where this is all going? It is all aimed offshore - bit by bit. The only way we will survive is to get together and make them listen by STRIKING. We are being used, abused, and discarded. They are smiling all the way to the bank. What fools we are.
Be aware. There are company shills and spies on this and every board out there - be careful -
this is true and I don't want to lose a/c's..nm

How could they lose an account?!
Too many goodbye e-mails for my liking, too. Makes me just a bit nervous to see Indians leave an Indian-dominated company.
Worse yet is the idea that they LOST a client! How on EARTH could something like that happen?
Use your company medical, dental, and eyecare benefits, people--you don't know what tomorrow could bring.
until you lose your job to offshoring sm
your colors will change then.
What a rude comment for you to make at an emotional time.
and they lose them every month.
My supervisor was horrible. Ms. Tomato, we called her.
They may, but they'll just lose them due to the same
quality issues that caused QT to lose the main account in the first place. The only thing is QT was still supposed to QA the work so once again management let us down.
No you will lose your benefits
I just quit WMX a few weeks ago, but worked there almost 3 years. You do not lose your benefits if you can't make your hours because of lack of work availability. However, you COULD lose them if you don't work your scheduled hours and don't account for them with PTO or non-paid time off, per your supervisor.
If you are afraid you will lose your job.....
Then go find something different to do. It's not difficult. But do not claim that this is a national security issue when it is not.
Snooze, you lose.
.
I'm with ya, too. If MTIA causes me to lose
I'll just have all that extra time (while collecting Unemployment, of course) to help you push them over the cliff, too. And the last thing those self-righteous biddies in AHDI/MTIA want is to tick me off. Notta good idea.
my experience lately is they do anything to get, then everything to lose you.
Like we are not going to find out the lies in the first week. What a job. I had management trying to explain to me something they wanted to do for me, but benefited them. I actually laughed in the person's face. What an insult to our intelligence to bold face lie and then expect us to be dewey eyed and say yes, more, more, I love abuse.
Oh, my God, they should lose their licence.nm

Sorry to hear, how much did you lose?
NM
LOL!!! Okay - here's my posting - your turn!
HIlarious in a sick control freak kinda way!
:)
Thanks for the advice, now it's my turn...
I understand exactly what you are saying and I agree with you.
Please let me share my experience from an MTs point of view. After submitting my resume, then passing the tests (no ESLs), interviewing via phone and lastly being hired, I was very excited to start with a national company. Everything was going fine. Then I started making line count. Eventually my line count took me up to bonus level. Then all of a sudden POW - I'm nailed with 10 other doctors from the same account that I never knew existed. Where were those doctors when I was first put on the account? Now, I make $11 an hour in a profession I have been doing for 8 years. Your getting those replies because all the good MTs (like myself) are finding employment outside of this profession. You may not offshore now but you will because all the good MTs are getting fed up with this crap! If you think 8 to 10 is a good salary, then you type the reports. Better yet, just type the ESLs! 
I had to turn down an MTSO for this. No way would I

Don't forget to turn them in to the IRS! nm

This is when you turn over specific
examples to your supervisor and get some answers. I would keep a record of every inconsistency and send them in.
All they have to do is turn the tracking
on the report and they will see what has actually been transcribed.
No, but you may have to turn in work

MQPT lose bonus
As a PT MQ MT, I work Mon thru Fri for 3 hours each night, and all day on Sat and Sun, ( assuming there is work)--because of the new incentive, I have now lost the ability to get the bonus for doing over 10000 lines in a pay period
What would happen if I put on the schedule that I am going to work every night except Wed, but then I find out that I have time that night--can I still type or do you need to stick to the written schedule
Also, this year Christmas is on a Sunday, does that mean I am committed to an 8 hour day?
at least you didn't lose your job offshore
guess its about time to learn new skills.
It unfortunately will be personal when they lose the account. sm
Is there any way to trace where accounts go?
make that, I would not lose any sleep over this co.

LOL! Spheris is also cool if I lose DSL and they

They didn't lose the account, only one of the
work types, which granted was a large percentage of that account. There was a conference call this week and the other half of the company has signed some very large contracts and will continue to cover the MT side of things for now.
can cash it but if bounces you lose
and may have to pay a bank penalty$. I think it can take 2 weeks to clear. I guess they don't have direct deposit? Ask. Google direct deposit procedures. They give info on how this goes about. If you do get the check Friday, call and ask if there are funds to cover it as you just cannot afford to pay for a bounced check.
I guess you could take them to labor board of your state. Guess you could take to small claims court for your state. Can google all this stuff.
My 401K with Spheris did not lose value.
I was placed in Wells Fargo Safe Funds by the management company.
Though, when the market fell, I stopped contributing. I cannot see the point in contributing now since I struggle to pay the bills. God help me in 15-20 years though.
Personally, I would lose money...
on my current account if I were paid per minute of dictation by more than 50%. It really depends on the dictators, and I guess you wouldn't know their style until you actually starting transcribing for them.
