 First of all, you're obviously mgmt. since you know so much about inside goings-on.

Second, and here is where the fib comes in:  You expect us to believe that Leads don't  type on their own lead shift  (they're too busy, too much to do-LMAO) - and their lead shift is obviously a 40-hour shift, if the hours on the bottom all of their holier-than-thou e-mails are to be believed - when DO they do their transcription - during their SECOND shift or 41st hour ( I assume they finish their 40-hour lead shift and then get paid OT to do their typing).  Are you another one who thinks all the rest of us peon MTs are so dumb.  MTs regularly get the halfway decent work taken out of their queus and get h--l when they compain about it.

so that helps take the sting out a bit.  I love the people and love the company, but I do not think maybe they realize what a big shock $30 can be sometimes.  To me, the more fair thing to have done would have been to say something like effective next check, we will be taking out double premiums until we catch up or whatever.  However, cannot unring a bell.

And I have always been a bit disappointed that they wait until the following Monday to pay us instead of that Friday, but for the most part it is a good company.  Seems like all of the MTSOs hang on to their $$$ as long as they can -- guess the interest is better in their pockets than on our paychecks.    I was stupid and am now waiting a month to get paid for work I did for a woman in Virginia.  Chalk it up to lesson learned.

Good luck to you (and me!). 

on the postage meter as if they had mailed it on payday, like I wouldn't notice that it was POSTMARKED 5 days later!  I have used a postage meter before ... you can set the date to anything you like .. duh.  It was in my contract that the checks were to be mailed every other Friday from the Tampa airport.  I pitched a big fit and finally Giselle Fed Ex'd my checks after that.  I would hope by now they would have direct deposit.  You shouldn't have to sit and wait for your check and be at the mercy of the mail, nor should you have to pay extra just to make sure you receive it in a timely fashion.  They have been in business long enough that they should have established direct deposit.  It was posted awhile back that they had it for awhile and then did away with it because of some issue with the bank.  I would be very, very careful if you need your check in a timely manner.  It seems that they just barely meet payroll, but that was just my impression. 

Good luck.

where you would have to keep evidence, as you say?  Are you someone who needs your hand held throughout the shift?  If so, better work in-house because the at-home deal isn't for you.

You have to work INDEPENDENTLY.  That is what a lot of people don't seem to understand.  If you really have no ability to go through the material you have received and figure it out using common sense, I don't know what to tell you.

that people are finally starting to see the light about this company.  when the editors took the hit, a lot of the MTs didn't seem to believe what they were saying.  We knew it was just a matter of time before the truth came to light. 

one of the things that really amazed me about those folks is that they seemed to believe that we didn't talk amongst ourselves, so their dirty deeds could be kept a secret until they were screwing everyone.

surprise.  word's out.

You're right, they are not the only ones; but my experience was opposite.  More work that a person should be expected to do in one day, worked 14 to 16 hours.  Did not have a choice, had to clear out my que each and every day.  And THEN came the battle of the paycheck!  They, Panhandle, still owe me my last one from over a year ago! 

Again, thanks so much for all of the posts on these forums.  I always check here first (don't post much tho) to research a company.  I did submit my resume to Sten-Tel, but thanks to your posts, I'll never apply or accept a position with them.
