plans to send card/gift/etc. to their employer?
I thought a card to my supervisor (if she is still there) from MQ would be appropriate. Actually that is the only person I have contact with anymore. For all the years I have worked at MQ, someone, either supervisor/area manager, etc. has sent a card. Hope it continues. Miss the personal touch of working in an office sometimes.
My second job I don't know exactly how many are in the office, but thought sending a group food type gift if shipping alone isn't a killer. Haven't been with them long, but they are so sweet, I bet they also send out cards and bet they are personally signed and not just printed.

Got a card but no bonus or gift card.

We usually get a gift card for Walmart.. Last year,
I donated mine to a single mom whose 10-year-old was not going to get a Christmas because mom couldn't afford it. I've been a single mom so my heart went out to her and I got a bunch of people to donate items i.e. tree, ornaments etc.. food, gifts etc. I felt good about it and I know my employer would have felt good about me donating it to a family in need.
Got a card and $50 bonus from Transtech last year.
Christmas bonus/card? Did anyone get anything this year?
I know there is still time but usually we get a card by now.
UPDATE: CARD AND GIFT CARD ARRIVED TODAY FROM TRANSCEND. USPS STINKS...
It tooks what looks like over 2 weeks to get there. It could have been shipped to a third world country is that much time. Shame on USPS. I guess you get what you pay for..even at 41 cents.Yikes. Sorry to my employer.
Transcend always sends a nice handwritten card and a gift card
I just got my card today, and it is still five days before Christmas.
You really cannot please all the people all of the time, even when it comes to gift giving. I am so surprised at some of these comments.
Merry Christmas to all!
Our gift card and Christmas card were appreciated.. Check this out......
I have only worked for MDI a few months, but I can tell you they appreciate their MTs. Compared to the doctor I have worked for 9 years for and whom USED to give me a $1000 bonus, but this  year.. NOTHING.. I had been working both jobs, but that made me decide to tell the doctor to take a hike and devote all my time to MDI.. where I'm appreciated...
I received a Christmas card and a gift card 2

I appreciated the Christmas card and gift card..
I don't feel that the MDI/Transcend plays favorites at Christmas. I appreciated the thoughtfulness of the signed Christmas card and gift card. Also, I work the holidays when someone on my team wants the day off. This is a good company to work for. I agree with the above posts--if you're not happy, there are other companies who may suit you better. Happy Holidays to all! 
Wow, expecting a gift. CHILDREN expect gifts. Maybe..
your gift is the fact that you have a job during this current economic crisis. If you get something, fine; if not, are you going to quit? You still have 4 days to wait by your mailbox for your gift, if you should get one.
Wasnt expecting anything but got a nice box of chocolates and a card
I shared my chocolates with neighbors because Lordy, Lord, I do not need to be looking at a nice box of chocolates all day, because I wouldnt be looking at it all day - know what I mean? :}
I got a card and a gift card They are always very good
to us. Transcend has nothing to do with it.
I think a gift card (sm)
Wal*Mart, Amazon.com, something like that. It's the thought that counts. It's nice to feel appreciated!
I get $100 gift card from my doc plus
a wonderful card thanking me for all the hard work I do all year round, and my company sends a $25 gift check.
Gift card
Hey, maybe for someone an extra $25 would come in handy. We do not know each others situations. The one thing I do know is the amount of income lost this year as compared with the past.
No, the poster was saying that it would be nice to be recognized, that we are not computers placing words into computers, that there is actually someone somewhere making sure that the work is accurate, on time, and profitable. None of us have our collective hands out..
I got a card and a gift.. as did everyone I spoke to
You may want to wait a few days and take that back.
Did you send her a card or a gift? nm

I got a gift card from Transcend!
I am very happy about thank and thankful for a great job!
Transcend gift card
I got my gift card from Transcend today too. Its not a ton of money but every year they send us one. It is nice to be remembered.
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.
Gift card from Trans Tech nm

A card and $25 gift check from TransTech. It was

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 was sent a gift card by mistake- addressed to my supervisor
I emailed my supervisor and she said sh ewas expecting a gift card in the mail and to mail it to her. I called the company... they said it was a mistake.. So, I am wondering, did only management get giftcards, or did all employees but me get a gift card. I happily mailed the card to my supervisor. I also sent my notice of resignation to Probity.
AAAGH! My employer doesn't send me a gift...
HEY! Ever thought about sending a small box of your home-made SOMETHING-OR-OTHER to your colleagues who sit in a modular Dilbert-kinda home office all day and put out fire after fire as well as answering phone calls ad infinitum? These are people like you and me. So okay, some MTs are focused on receiving holiday greetings, with your nose out of joint if you don't. Did you send your employer a Christmas card? Or call and wish one of your contacts Happy Holidays? Were you an enthusiastic MT who occasionally thanked the company for putting bread on the table? Consider the possibility that because you did not receive a token item, your company was able to contribute to those who have no roof over their head or a cabbage doll to hug when the world seems so frightening.
Geez... the "merger" was three years ago and I still got my gift card (today!)
Thank you Transcend - I love working there.
On another note though,isn't it amazing how people can come here and complain about a gift?? Wow.
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...
Yes, card and bonus check.
It was quite a surprise since I have only worked for them for a few months.
Worked for them for years. First time not even a card, email, gift certificate, acknowledgment of s
any kind. The new management is so cheap. Hope they aren't counting on the accolades of employee of the year this year. They certainly are not that, and not even in the top ratings. Everything changed this year. And not for the better.
Acusis - Anybody get a Christmas bonus, card, etc.?
nm
Nice Christmas card and $100 bonus.
I didn't get a Christmas bonus or even a card
glad to see how much we are appreciated by our company.
TransTech sent an Amex gift cheque and a lovely card signed by all the office staff.
Very thoughtful and a nice surprise. I love these people.
I am curious as to what companies give at Christmas. Has anyone gotten a bonus/gift from their
company?
We get a gift---last year, ...sm
one of those big insulated lunch carriers, the year before that a throw with the company name embroidered on it, the year before a duffel bag.
Only after one year.... WM gift cert.

I have had a raise every year at my employer
So, yes, there are people that do get raises.
I got a nice card from the MTSO this year. :) NM

How AAMT employer of the year is chosen
I've been on the committee before for choosing the employer of the year. MTs nominate their employers by writing letters to AAMT. There is a committee formed of maybe 5-6 people and AAMT sends fed-ex a packet containing copies of all the letters received with the names of the writers and the companies being nominated blacked out to where you can't read it.
This is so that everything read is anonymous and you don't know which companies are being nominated.
Each committee member reads those letters and then there is a conference call where each committee member is allowed to talk about the nomination letters and basically they vote and narrow it down to a winner.
It is TOTALLY anonymous in the process and believe me, I've been on the committee, so I know what I'm talking about. Even when the committee has chosen a winning nomination letter, they do not find out WHAT company was associated with that letter until after the winning letter was chosen.
I'm only explaining this process because I believe the above poster is incorrect when making the assumption that the AAMT prez and Medware being named AAMT employer of the year are somehow connected. It was a total fluke that the current AAMT Prez just happened to work at the same company which was chosen as employer of the year.
AAMT 2006 Employer of the Year
So the AAMT is naming their employer of the year. One year, after Mag Mutual had been bragging that title up for all it was worth, I called the AAMT and asked exactly how many submissions they got and how much competition the big employer of the year received. I was working for Mag as an MT and found it to be my worst experience so far. The woman on the other end of the phone laughed and said there is very, very little competition. I think there were something like 3 or 4 submissions.
Just wanting the MTs out there to not leap when you hear the results. Please inquire with the AAMT as to how many applicants were considered. Know that AAMT Employer of the Year does NOT mean it'll necessarily be a good place to be an MT.
What did you want to know? Just named AAMT employer of year! sm
With the caveat that no company can be everything to all MTs, I personally have been with Webmedx (and Rodeer, who was bought by Wbx a few years ago) since 1998 and have been pleased. Good platform, decent accounts, average pay with chance of making bonuses, room for advancement (I know of MTs who have moved into QA), decent QA feedback, and I love my manager.
Benefits are good in my opinion. Pay is on time (all direct deposit), workflow decently steady. Your mileage may vary, of course. :)
MT Employer of the Year amounts to squat. sm
Don't base your decision on that. They may be a good company to be an MT at right now, and they may not be. I'd get a wide range of opinions here and expect your reality to be somewhere in the middle.
Did anyone get a Christmas card this year from QT? I thought it was an oversight. nm

Surely had hoped for Christmas gift from TransTech again this year, but . . .
not. Has any other TT'er (MT) gotten a Christmas gift of any kind yet from their employee -- Transtech ?
I guess I shouldn't have expected one, but I did . . . .
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.
Christmas gift appreciated, but turns out not to be a gift if there is no work the day after
Christmas Day. Yes, it was $25.00 (twenty-five). I lost that much this morning when there was NO WORK. I had so hoped to have a good paycheck this pay period, and was working very hard to have one -- as I need the money SO BAD.
I was appreciative of the $25, rather than some kind of novelty advertising token with company logo on it, like some MTSO's would give to a prospective client, etc. Oh, yes, I made very good use of the $25. I took it and paid my high-speed internet bill, a necessary tool for working my job -- which the $25 was very much short of paying that phone charge.
THANK YOU TT for the $25.
TransTech MT week gift??? OR just low work gift??
Have any of you rec'd anything from TT for MT week gift yet?
Same here. I too was expecting (sm)
the 12 foot binder full of paperwork. It really is simplified and also allows you to have many secondaries that you can jump into with ease if need be. When you happen to be in that specific client's report, you just hit a hot key combination and up will come the information for that account - all the formatting, in many times a sample of that particular dictator, etc. It really does remove a lot of the clutter. I think you'll find it to be a welcome change.
