Just wondering

Xmas coming. New company, thinking about sending Xmas cards. (sm)
Thought about just sending one to the office in general, is this tacky? I actually am in contact with some of them more than my direct supervisor.
How do you all handle this, if you send cards at all, that is. This is a fairly small, very family oriented type company. If I were still with MQ you can bet I wouldn't even though my supervisors over the years did always send out a card to me on Xmas. I just never felt very festive when I was working there.
Supposedly Spheris is sending reports out by specialty, SM
except don't expect the same rate of pay as MQ. With Spheris, or any other company where you must use their piece of ---- equipment, the line counts can be, shall we say, variable.
I really wish you luck. If you don't need benefits, try a smaller company. Put resume out there. Might get some hits.

Treated best during the recruitment
I would say, 95% of the time, whenever I've interviewed and accepted a new job, looking back, I would not that the best treatment I ever received from anyone in that company was during the recruitment process. It was the same with my two late husbands. During the dating and engagement period, they treated me the best that I was ever treated. After I made the commitment to them, they didn't try as hard to be so nice. So, if the recruitment process is anything but tolerable, I can generally expect that the rest of my experience with that company will be worse. I'm sure there are exceptions, but this scenario has been true for me most frequently.
Focus is advertising for "Senior Director of Recruitment"?!?!?!
What in the H-double hockey sticks is going on over there? The senior director of recruitment has to transcribe and format reports?
What kind of a circus have they got going on? They lay a bunch of people off and then post this bizarre position?
Run, run, run from focus as fast as you can...
The new Sr. Director of Recruitment is insinuating they are not an indian company...
by posting on another site that 90% of Focus' operations were onshore in the U.S. Totally false. And you are perpetuating the fallacy by saying there is change in the wind. The truth is there will never be change at Focus. It is an Indian based and run company!
Keystrokes sending sending my W2, anyone else? NM

Spheris employees are instructed to not post messages on sites like this.

Those mag cards!
Forgot about them. Those sucker were huge!
Another thing, I told my daughter about what my doc said this morning and guess what she told me? She said when she goes to her doc she is given a laptop and has to fill out her own record. She said it takes just about forever, which is probably what is going to happen with a lot of the EMRS. Can you just imagine the mistakes that can produce. She said then the doctor just reads the computer and doesn't ask any questions. I never................ Is this what health care is going to come to? Next we'll probably have the computer making the diagnosis and prescribing treatment and never even see a physician.
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.
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?
cards are cheap... and so is the thought.

Have gotten cards from them svl times over the years. nm

I work for MQ and have never gotten a x-mas bonus, only cards. sm
Not even from the company they acquired 8 years ago.
I really doubt a company this big can give x-mas bonuses. With over 6,000 employees that is a lot of money to fork over. Plus with Philips Electronics wanting out of MQ, do not think even higher ups will get bonuses this year.
My company sent us E-CARDS this year. sm
They were too cheap to spring for a an actual paper holiday card with postage.
A freaking email card. Yeah, no gift card attached to that baby, either.
Ah, yesssss. Cards. I usually toss em right away,
I do hang onto the blank envelopes to use for sending things like homemade get-well cards, thank-you cards, etc. to friend. And my kittens are having a ball with the box the now-shattered coffee mug came in. It's all good. Almost.
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.
Maybe we'll get Ramadan cards next year.

I used to do HR for an MTSO and sometimes cards took a while but the coverage was in place. sm
if they have taken the deductions out, don't panic. With the holidays and the way they fell this year with Thanksgiving and Christmas so close, a lot of companies were closed a lot. My SIL works for MetLife and they were closed all but 2 days each week between holiday parties and actual holidays, so perhaps that is what the holdup is. The insurance card is important but you are covered without it if you have been paying!
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.
I so totally relate! I go back to the days of mag-cards,
I took a Wang course at the local Jr. College because my boss said they were getting one. Suffered through a year of typical school garbage: a semester of 'The History of Word Processing'; a semester of classroom work for Wang information; then another semester of lab -- made all the more exasperating because the PC I'd been assigned to kept breaking down on my lab nights. Ah, yes. The good old days.
But at least back then, a person could rent an apartment and fill their refrigerator on what we were paid. Remember that? Nowadays it's nothing but a distant memory...............
Yes I did. I thought it was an oversight on their part to not send cards, guess not.

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
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.
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...
Merry Christmas to you too! I think it is great that Transcend sends out gift cards to employees.
I wonder how many other companies do that. Let's see, with over 1000 transcriptionists that is 25,000.
Again, thank you Transcend!
No, but she didn't say she was sending any
We talked this morning, and I told her I needed a couple of days to think about it. Yes, I'd like to chat via e-mail, but how do we do that? Do I do post reply versus post quick reply? Tell me how, and I'll send you a note about it and we can compare notes!
Yes, the week is not over. They are sending
out MT week gifts, and they sent them out late due to packaging problems. Of course, it would be better to win the lottery - but the gifts are very nice! (A tote bag, a pedometer and a stress ball that is modeled as a computer). (I know this because I work in the office)
You are right, they are sending me a check
so obviously it has not been invested. How dare they use our money?
How would you be getting and sending the jobs? SM
I once worked for a hospital for all of six weeks. They had a main frame, which was extremely slow. The head of the department told me how fast it was. The problem was, she never used it.
Find out what the platform is like and if you can use Expanders and how they divvy up the work. Then I would take the job, because I work for national and it is indeed going downhill fast.
After sending one Email you should have

I would see nothing wrong with sending
one to the company/office in general. It would be very nice I think.
Yes the same MTs sending work to QA
day in and day out. I get sick of it. And nothing is done about it from management.
re sending work to QA
I really don't believe we'd be penalized or cut for that, UNLESS it was for the same type mistakes over and over, or inexcusable ones that would be caught in proofing, etc. Hope I'm right.
Would mind sending me one as well?
I feel so out of it since I cannot talk to anyone about this.
I'm sending you an email. nm

My STM would threaten us with sending
work to India if work got out of TAT. I think it only did once or twice, as there was never enough work to get in my lines, but I don't take kindly to threats, and it shows a complete lack of maturity on her part.
I sent them an email asking too because I had no intention of sending
them a resume without knowing what the name of the co was. I am sure they get the message if people write.
She's right about sending the letter to Lou Dobbs...
After thinking about this, I realized there are probably several private physicians in Toledo who send their work overseas. My friend here in a smaller town south of Toledo lost her job several months ago doing dictation at a local Cardiology practice. One of the Indian physicians convinced the other partners that his friends in India could do the transcribing much cheaper. Someone else posted further down about offshoring going on even in the smallest towns in America and that is absolutely right. Your letter would get much more exposure and be taken more seriously with someone like Lou Dobbs at CNN.
Anyone else sending out resumes and hearing nothing?
I have 16 years in the business and 4-5 years editing experience, but am just not hearing back from companies advertising on the boards. Maybe they are receiving 100s of resumes...or is it just me? Anyone know of a company looking for an editor, please email me. Thanks!
I've also been sending out resumes and not
I've heard back from a few places wanting me to test and often don't even hear back after the test! I have over 17 years of experience and I can't be doing THAT bad on tests. I think it is probably that they are being inundated with responses.
To be honest, I do not expect a response from every single company I send my resume to. I do expect to hear back from a company once I've tested for them when it is at their request, however! I've hired before and know that when you get scads of emails, many from the same people over and over again, it gets hard to keep track of sending out I got your resume emails. If I emailed someone and asked them to test, though, I would most certainly let them know one way or the other.
I recently tested for a company that I had heard good things about and then never heard one word again. Not even that they received my test files back. I decided right then and there I wouldn't work for them anyway because that's just rude. It takes time out of our day to test and to not hear back--when they requested it--is pretty lame, IMO.
Question about sending resume...sm
Sorry if a silly question but...I've never applied for a position from the Job Seeker's board before. When I copy my resume over, do I have to make it look normal in that box, or do I leave as-is and when it gets forwarded, will it look like it originally did in Word? Thanks!
Wouldn't that be the same as thanking you for sending
a thank-you note? When does it end... it is nice to be acknowledged but someone has to end it! :)
Sounds to me like she intended on sending you sm
paperwork via snail mail that require your signature (confidentiality statement, etc.) Sounds like you're in!
Good luck to you.
Precyse, please stop sending
all U.S. MT work overseas, or better yet, why not send the great overseas MTs the junk work we have to do all the time, so they cannot make anything, also!
can anyone tell me about sending daily report and how
you keep track of that? You can e-mail me if you'd rather. Just started and curious if you have to write down all your jobs at the end of shift of is there an easier way of sending this info?
Must be your email, I've been getting and sending
emails all the time.
They're sending everything to India now.
