Would have given everyone a nice fat bonus
Without knowing what this person sold for, of course can't say what fat is.
But that's what I would have done - at the very least.
nice quarterly bonus makes up a lot
with Alltype. What you get offered for pay is how well you did on the test and what shift you plan to work.
Nice Christmas card and $100 bonus.
Have to post that I received a very nice holiday bonus from QT which
Agreed. I also got a nice Christmas bonus working for a tiny private practice. sm
In a smaller office you're seen as an actual person.
Very nice owner, nice work, nice place - sm
the leave you alone. I left because they do not budge from their pay which was kind of mediocre. I would go back if I had to because they were extremely nice.
Pay on time, direct deposit, incentive bonus, nice management but at times workload can be a problem
requiring several accounts to stay busy.
Very nice people, nice place to work. nm

Yes, nice QA (and nice people in general), but very little work right now. nm

I gave 2 wks notice as IC and I had to work to the very last minute. It sucked.
At least she gave you a real reason and not just "seasonal" low work. n.m
.
I once gave my notice when I was in a non-MT position, gave
2 weeks, but the person I was supposed to train felt like she knew my job better than I did (although she knew squat) and was a pain to deal with, never on time, etc. so I only worked about a week of my notice before I left and told the person I was supposed to train that since she knew more than I did have at it. Anyway the owner wouldn't pay me for vacation. I filed a complaint with the labor board and they were more than happy to get my money for me.
Breitner can threaten all they want to. If you can document that you are owed monies, if Breitner can't prove that you aren't owed monies the labor board will be glad to collect your money. I would also file a complaint with the Attorney General . I have heard several people have had payment issues with them while the still worked for them. If people are willing to let them get away with it by just chalking it up to experience, then they will continue to try to get away with it. I'd contact the IRS too. I don't know what Breitner thinks they can do to you - let them threaten all they want to. A word of advice - DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT.
Christmas Bonus survey...Has anyone received a bonus yet this year or expect one?
We usually get one but haven't see it yet. Just curious if anyone has been so lucky as to get one.
As a whole.. nice people to work for, decent benefits but the get off/on the system, work/no work,
is maddening. I couldnt pay my bills or even work the schedule I was assigned. They would ask us not to work until work built up in the evenings and I specifically wanted to work days as I have kids etc. It just didnt work out for me but to each his own. It just seems there has to be a better balance in this business that what is happening.
I get a bonus from the doctors where I work
And last year I just gave a box of candy (it's a small office).
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.
I did that - and was denied a bonus! There was no work, I thought will
later, typed, typed earlier than my schedule the next day, next day also during my schedule no work, - heck I wasn't going to sit there in front of a computer dialing every 2 minutes for 5 hours.
Then I get a call that I didn't work my shift. I said there was no work. In fact there was no work all week, was lucky to get the lines I did. Bonus denied.
I will never help them out in a pinch again (they called me to do the bonus!) and I will never sign on when they are drowning to do "bonus". People who call me to work extra, and then don't pay me for it, don't get much of my work after that. There are people who pay me for the time I sit and transcribe. I will spend my time at their work, not at a liar's.
Why MQ doesn't get it about "If you have no work - don't expect me to sit there" - is beyond me.
People can't sit up 24 hours a day chasing work to transcribe. It should be on MQ's back to direct work flow so that when they know people are going to be signing on for their DEDICATED and ASSIGNED shift, there is work for them to do. Don't let hogs get in there who are not supposed to be working and type all the time, and then there is no work for people who are signing on for their schedules.
And there should be a legit hourly wage set in stone not by some formula, that pays an MT to "sit there and wait."
I recd a 400$ bonus from the clinic I work at.
Previous years' gifts have been a DVD player, 1000$ bonus one year, a digital camera and 200 gc to Walmart. Very generous.
I gave notice and was told had to work final weeks in order to be eligible for rehire. Had no

Work is easy, very nice owner, pays weekly, work in Word.
Pay is always on time, direct deposit, very nice management to work with, and DQS platform, work
load normally busy, but low now because of the summer slow down on my accounts. Sound an issue on some accounts, but not others. Overall, wonderful company.
I did some overflow work for Landmark.. they are wonderful to work for.. very nice people.. pay was

Is it a nice place to work and did you have work all the time. nm

They may be nice to work for, but they
I work for that office, they are nice. nm

Nice people to work for.
Pay is higher than other MTSO. QA is very helpful and always encouraging. I never heard anything negative, even when I did make a mistake. The only reason I left is because I was offered a local account with a surgery center. I would go back in a heartbeat if I needed work.
Are you a nice company to work for. nm
:
Nice company to work for. sm
Pay always on time. Weekends are not required. They do not pay for spaces, but do pay H/F. Line rates are better than average to good.
You're too nice. I was going to tell her to go to work somewhere else - LOL
nm
Yes, I work there...The owner and QA and everyone else is very nice.
xx
nice company to work for -----
Mongoose is simple to learn and doesn't seem to have the problems with freezing up and losing jobs that I experienced with Chartscript at my last job.
They are nice cups. I got one, and I do not even work there. sm
I was going to work with them awhile back, and their software was incompatible with another work program I was using, so I was never able to start. I must be on some list still. I don't know about the pay cuts mentioned below -- that would be distressing -- but they seemed to pay like everyone else at the time and had decent benefts. Hope the other poster was wrong about the pay cuts -- I hate seeing that happening so much lately!
Yes, they are Indian-based and not nice to work for/with. nm
x
Yes, they do. Nice little company. Plenty of work.
Pay on a weekly basis. Internet based platform. I do think they are still hiring.
I do. Very nice people. I have plenty of work sm
Pay is on time. Nobody bothers me. I have a great account and wonderful software that is Word based,but they have several accounts a couple of different platforms, so not sure what the others are like.
Very nice company to work for... friendly and
good QA. It is sometimes difficult to get a high line rate though. Not sure why, but maybe because headers and footers are not paid for. They do pay for spaces however. Good Luck in your decision.
Future-Net as IC, although work can be low. Nice people. nm

Doesn't matter how nice they are, I wouldn't work
xx
Yep. Me too. Nice people, great place to work!

Unless things have changed drastically, they are NOT nice to work for.
You will get calls at all hours to work, mostly because no one has enough sense to realize that there is a big time difference between the east coast where they are and the west coast where I am. I routinely got calls from Rose between 4 and 5 a.m. to see why I was not working when my schedule was for 7 a.m. pacific time. The accounts were awful. And the recruiter is just that - do not believe all the praise and glory she heaps out. She may be sweet but don't fall for her line of bs.
Yes, they do allow split shifts and they're very nice to work for

Any small companies in Michigan that are nice to work for. nm
:
i got an email from them. Very nice lady, would love to work for
I'm sure they pay very well but I need the insurance. I went with JLG.
Former DRC/Acusis MTs - Have you found a company as nice to work for (sm)
as DRC with good software, pay, benefits, etc? Looks like REALLY good MTSO are few and far between.
Nice people to work with. Lines never added up though.
I couldn't tell you about the benefits because I was part-time and didn't need them at that time. They use Dragon MT as their platform. I personally didn't like it.
Nice people. I constantly ran out of work and had to move on. nm

Nice people, agreed; very frustrating to work for, though.
I have to agree that the people are very nice. That's about as far as goes, however. The platform is clunky (We're working on a new one has been the constant refrain for years, with no real sign of it's birth anytime soon).
To answer the original question, I'm able to average about 250 lph, even with the craptacular platform (mostly due to a few docs with regular patter lending themselves to a lot of canned text); that said, I would likely be getting 350 lph or more with similar effort elsewhere.
Back on the negative side, however, the communication there sucks. Maybe 1 in 10 e-mails to management is acknowledged, let alone answered.
Very frustrating.
Nice people but low work, and yes I have multiple accounts!! nm

Also, it is not only about a birthday bonus, any bonus...sm
I am curious to see the average amount of different bonuses out there. Like anniversary, birthday, holiday, etc. bonuses. Remember back when you were an employee and had to go out to work for a company, during your birthday, anniversaries, certain special times of the year everyone would send around a card, sign it, cook a meal or something nice for you...I am just wondering if any company does that for you even though you don't actually have to dress and go to work physically. A simple poll...NOT something I will base on becoming an employee with...A SIMPLE POLL! Thanks for everyone who gave some input about their actual company and not a criticism...Just a simple question ....
No bonus here - I make my own bonus sm
by working more and having a big fat paycheck!
I have learned, in life, not to expect so as to not be let down or disappointed. I apply that reasoning to all aspects of life, including my career.
Although I agree that sometimes it is nice to have others think of you with a gift or bonus, in reality, it is not the norm working as an IC.
Christmas has become so materialized and commercialized, it really is sad for those who don't have as much as others to feel such a financial stress and burden to buy or give gifts.
So, I say make your own bonus and work a little more, get some extra lines in, and that would be your bonus!
Happy Holidays to All!
outsource to India; not enough work, ran out of constantly; some really nice people, though (nm)
