The managers are so out of touch!

In Reply to: Oh I can beat that one... - sm
They are so counting their money and bonuses they make by overhiring and having great TAT, they completely forget that we are making zero dollars because each of us are battling for each job. How self-centered and ignorant is that? Like a table which shoots its legs out from under itself, the table will soon be unable to stand!

How do I get in touch with CIT?

Does anybody know how to get in touch with CIT
I have heard nothing but good about Charts in Time, but they don't have a website. I would like more information about CIT.
How do you get in touch with them?
What is their web address?
Moretti-How do I get in touch-sm
with them? I would like to apply there. Do they have a website where I can fill out an application?
Thanks, Dorothy
Jester's Touch
Hmmm, well, I'm still not sure what the root of their problem is, but I was assured up front by the owner that they are very organized -- apparently not! I've been involved with companies that had a lot of turnover too, and if this is their case as well, I'm just not interested in playing that game again so I suppose it's just as well...
how can I get in touch with MDI Maryland. thx

I believe 10-key touch means
You can enter MR# and account numbers fast using the number buttons on the side of your keyboard. Just put your middle finger on the 5 and look at the account number and enter it in without having to look at the keyboard, kind of like what you do with words. You are not actually calculating anything.
What's the best way to get in touch with Transtech?
Apparently they are growing beyond their office staff and don't want people calling them unless it is an emergency and they aren't quick to answer emails. I am not trying to start anything but seriously want to know the best way to get in touch with them where I can get a response in a timely manner. I am interested in going to work for them after hearing all the good things.
I got in touch with Alphastaff...
since they do the payroll and they sent me my w2 electronically today. The emails stating they were ready apparently came out weeks ago, even before the ones that were mailed last week, but for whatever reason I never received one.
Thank you so much! I will get in touch with you:) You are generous.
Ty.
Enough for me wouldn't touch it with
Thanks!
W2 -- Anyone know who I can get in touch with to obtain my W2 from SPi? Here it is almost ...sm
the end of February and I have yet to receive one. I have all I need to file taxes except this one and the on from Focus. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. TIA.
It is interesting that some of us here are actually in touch
Networking can truly work between MTs, even on an anon board, and this is an example of it! I am glad MTs share experiences... even though it sometimes gets rough here, I think that LTMT is an example of a poster who always gives honest answers...
The ACLU won't touch this....sm
Why you ask? Well, first off, she works, and secondly I am sure she is in this country legally.
The ACLU doesn't take on the causes of native-born Americans unless, somehow, religion or politics is involved. THEN they will come after you with all their heavy-handed tactics. Like the atheist who wanted the pledge of allegiance rewritten because the phrase under God was an affront to his daughter. And the people who want the cross in the Mojave Desert taken down. I could go on and on.
Gourdpainter...I truly am rooting for you. Make an example of the really frivolous lawsuit this is. And a parting thought (tongue firmly in cheek of course), I don't think your company is in too dire financial straits if they can afford to sue you. I would ask for a raise.
Good luck.
Really?? I wouldn't let them touch my system
When you are sitting and typing and all of the sudden something is being typed in your computer while you watch, you wouldn't either!
Yes, a couple years ago when looking I know I was in touch with them regarding....sm
a position and talked to the recruiter, I forget who it was, I will try to look in my records that I faithfully keep, but they were a recruiting company that works for many companies on contract as a middle man to help get prospective MTs, do some leg work, some phone calls, etc., weed things out, and send good prospects along, at least in my case with the lady I was speaking to.....have you spoken/communicated with them?
That's ridiculous. They must be completely out of touch.

I am desperate for work, but I won't even touch that. nm
xx
I'd love to stay in touch via email...sm
just click on my user name. Look forward to hearing from you! 
I gotta ya.. It really did sound like one certain company whom I will not name here as it will touch
off the debate and that gets old. Thanks for explaining.
Some companies prefer that - more of a personal touch. nm

It has a light touch though. I have had carpal tunnel
surgery and am very picky about keyboards. I was pleasantly surprised that the one they went (Dell) had such a light touch.
Congrats on the job - I think you'll be very happy.
I wouldn't touch this post with a 10 foot pole. nm
:x
current info on jester's touch? i searched
archives and the only posts are from 2004 and 2003. thx!
That's exactly what makes them special. They haven't lost touch with the MTs. (sm)
That's why I believe they are such a success. Seems like a lot of people are saying the same thing. I believe this will be my last MT job - they are great.
WHAT is Touch Type? All I find is a typing test...nm
?????????????
After getting in touch with ILHIMA and getting a copy, it was proven that the poster was wrong. sm
There are no spelling errors in the ad.
This person was trying to stir the pot for no reason and had people upset, thinking that an ad was run without sending it to KS for proofing.
Same goes for managers
If you kiss a** you can get into a position of power there regardless of whether you have experience, knowledge or even are a newbie. They hire very few people for their power positions who actually know what they are doing for fear of being one-upped by them. That is why so many of them are on their power trips so they can feel important. People with real knowledge and experience usually don't have a need to do that unless they are jerks.
Considering what the managers have
to deal with between the clients and staff, as well as the weekends they have to work and I don't, I don't begrudge them (or anyone else) a spa weekend. It's not as if it's a trip to Tahiti. I would rather work with people who have had some sort of stress management anyway.
but one of our managers
sent out a thoughtful token, probably did it out of her own pocket, would never expect the company to give a dime more than they have to.
there are managers and then sm
there are managers. Some of then ignore all emails from MTs. I just is according to who you get as STM. They are not all created equal and some are incompetent.
A lot of the managers at OSi came from MQ
Must be from QA managers at OSi
consider the source
SPI managers
Ditto to that. All of the managers seem to be replaced by MQ former managers. The director of OP is MQ and every time you turn around new MQ manager. Run run run
How are the managers there?
She is still there now, but I keep getting different account managers. nm
xxxx
The problem with their QA managers is
in the MT business. One was a former nurse who was absolutely horrible - power trip from hell - unreasonable, mean, nasty, rude. Now she's been replaced by a some hick who 2 years ago was in an OSI company email being introduced as ". . . is working towards learning to be an MT well enough that she can work at home without supervision soon. For now she's working in-house." Too many people in their QA department who have no experience and weezled their way in by kissing a$$ or "knowing someone" who can get them into OSi in a position of power and then WATCH OUT.
Interpro managers
Anyone have experience with Interpro management where they were made to feel stupid, lazy, an inconvenience and almost accused of lying about something demonstrably untrue...trying to figure out if it is me being over sensitive or if they treat everyone this way...need my job, but need respect, too..
Not all managers were transcriptionists.
I know of one manager who used to be in marketing. She is still there now. She is and/or was not very well liked because she was not a transcriptionist. There is no teamwork. I tried teamwork, until the manager put an end to it. They could care less if you get a lunch break as long as the work is done. You only know about your manager and co-workers. You would know nothing about other account managers and their employees. They changed their name because TSI has a bad reputation. They were losing accounts. They laid off people. They can't afford incentives. The insurance premiums are insane.
Put it this way, the managers over the supervisors
are lucky to make that in some companies! That is way over the top, I highly doubt it.
All managers want yes people but OSI is
nm
Which companies allow managers
to work from home, other than MQ, and does not require the manager to type on the accounts? Thanks in advance for your help.
SPi Managers Mtg and Stuff
OldTimer, are you a current SPi employee? Maybe you are and you have some inside information I don't have, or maybe you are a past employee with a grudge, it's hard to say. Your information doesn't seem current. I am a current employee. The managers did have a quarterly account manager's meeting in Nashville. I don't know who your AM is, but I have a great one and I trust that she discussed with the other AMs with regard to line counts and work availability, etc. I do know that it is not as you said at all, there is not a condition whereby only a few MTs are trying to do the work for a whole bunch. There are plenty of MTs who have worked for SPi who are not going anywhere in spite of the fact that things were slow getting back to normal after the holidays. Things will pick up. We are all sure of that, this is a big company with new accounts on the horizon. I am not going anywhere, I love my account, my account manager, and will work through the recent changes. No matter where you go, there is always going to be changes. You just have to ride them out.
Those new micro-managers -sm
need to justify their full-time salaries (that we wish WE had) by putting in their daily 2 cents' worth with daily email (to show management that they are actually doing something) -- by either: (1) chewing us out about something, real or in their minds (See, boss, I'm on the ball  -- or, conversely, (2) the condescending email telling us what an awesome group we all are when we get them out of trouble and back into TAT, which we, up to this point, we happy to do.
Account managers
All I can say is GIVE ME A BREAK! I hear nothing but complaints!
Shall we bet these managers are getting a bonus to do this. I bet so. Wonder how many bonuses they
will get when everyone quits or they lose all the accounts. Do you think these managers ever did transcription. Give me a break.
Ever notice that most of the managers and QA people
hmmmmmmmmmmmm
Amazing isn't it how most of the managers and QA specialists live in that little area while they have experienced MT's working for them from all over the country that they refuse to promote to these "positions of power". Yep.
Well they get what they pay for.
Their management is sub-par. They only call themselves managers though all
they do is gossip amongst themselves and stab each other in the back. They do not manage at all. They wish they could. They have no clue
Is it true that one of the managers quit over the .....sm
pilot program? Was it the one who posts on here a lot? If you are familiar with the company, you will know whom I'm referring to.
acct supervisor/managers
do you have one or multiple accounts to manage ?? at our company each acct manager has about 2-3 accounts to keep track of, just curious how others do it, i.e. one acct per manager or several per manager
This is one of the managers/owner fishing again - I
Didn't mean to sound harsh, just tired of the game playing they're doing. They come on here to see how their employees like working for them.
