They told us to go about our business and work as usual, that a merger or acquisition may be taking place, and we need not worry. In that first call, I asked the supervisor about sending it to India and got a very defensive answer. I should have learned!!! Six months later, 150 of us...bam!!! Laid off...no more US MT force for that company...

Jobs using FTP or secure website?
Any jobs still use FTP or just a secure website to download from?
At least you have a SECURE job with a GOOD company sm
that's not sending our work to India.
yeah my PS told me it just takes a really
but if they are cutting my pay I can't wait around to decide to start me w/ QA
Yeah, that's what they told me when I was hired...
they were hiring all American QA and leads and that they were making a transition to bring work back on shore. Six months later, I was fired along with a bunch of other people.
Like I said, THEY LIE!
oh yeah YOU SURE TOLD HER!!! AND I AGREE
i'm not wasting any more of my time on a lying BS artist. Plus all the posts, she couldn't have been proofing very well at the same time. Sorry for the poor patients.
Yeah, but "regular jobs" usually pay something
No but just talked to a recruiter who told me VR jobs pay
yeah - they haven't told a couple of hospitals that they are offshoring their work - but I think

Satellite is secure. Wireless DSL is less secure than satellite but
yet companies accept that. Satellite can be very secure depending on how you have everything set up.
Yeah, we'd all like a company like that!
:) P.S. I am a recovering MQ'er - miss the account, not the corporate mindset.
Yeah, real great company...
paying 3 cpl for VR. What's next? Good companies who pay 2 cpl?
Yeap, this be me. I told you that you would like it. Truly, this is the best company.
I had the pleasure of meeting Melissa personally and she is just delightful and a joy to work for.
Yes, right company. MTSO told me so
herself. The offshoring is fairly new, maybe 3 months or so. I did QA on some of the files.
See, told you they were a great company. Not too many would do that.

Right and told we should be happy we have jobs. Not too happy right now.

I was told to only ask about a specific company, but that was the problem..
I didnt even know who to apply with and all I wanted was recommendations, which I guess is not allowed. I certainly didnt expect anyone to offer me a job from my post. It's just nice to hear what others have to share about the company they work for, which some of us may not even know about to specifically ask about. Oh well. sorry you got deleted. I feel your pain.
Possible offshore company on jobs board?
Apobos2 - looks to be 3 ads same company - all off shore???
JX Secure
Anyone know anyting about MxSecure? I saw a job post somewhere for them. I have not heard that name before.
MX Secure
What is their pay schedule?
We all had to call in to the new insurance company last week. I was told that it will be sm
around $250 per single and that KS will be picking up a large portion.
When Transcend bought the company I worked for we were told they did not do IC, just PT/FT... sm
so this is news to me! Maybe they allow different things for different companies they buy. I also understood a little while after the merger that all accounts would move over to their platforms, but now I am reading that maybe not all of them did with other mergers. I am sorry you all are going through this! I remember how it was thrown on us so quickly too.
I was told that the company is fined and they take the compalints off their website
after being paid. My husband was working for a plumbing company that had a lot of negative reports (he dosen't work for them anymore thank god) and all they had to do was pay $5,000 to get the complaints taken off. We checked the BBB site again and low and behold there is not one bad complaint against them. I didn't know you could buy the BBB. How does that protect the consumer?
Is it usual for company to assign specific jobs?
I'm just so frustrated right now. I've had some jobs assigned to me that are from one of my backup accounts, not just one but many, and many ESLs, which has really brought my line count down. I know I have to just deal with it, but I'm wondering if this is a normal occurrence. I got hired under the idea that I was on a low ESL account, which my main account is, but not the backup accounts. This doesn't happen all the time, but it is happening more frequently now. Do I have a reason to be frustrated with this, or should I just get over it and accept it?
Work for a company that does not offshore. Save our jobs.

Secure position
Honey, NOBODY in this day and age is in a secure position. You could very well be next----.
I would hardly call my job secure. sm
My company offshores more and more work every year and continues to lie about doing so. Our line rates have continually decreased, our production incentives have disappeared. Our site-specific demands are getting infintely more precise, no 2 sites alike, and we are expected to keep all of them straight and do MORE and more sites as time goes on, as our quality testing gets harder, and the ramifications for errors get steeper. They are doing their darndest to push us out and make us miserable in the process.
NOTHING about this job is secure. The benefits that are left have gotten significantly LESS beneficial while continuing to cost me MORE.
I AM making an ACTIVE effort to change careers but that takes time.
Angry? Sure I am. I've given nothing but quality work for a decade and receive zero recognition for my loyalty and committment.
I DO have scars from this industry. I have done everything right in this industry and I'm worse off than I was 5 years ago. So yeah, a $20 gift card to Target WOULD mean a LOT to me as an employee at Christmas.
No, I haven't been. I told my true experience of working for that company.
I don't have a negative attitude. You're the one who can't handle it when someone disagrees with you.
I doubt it. I'm in a very secure position.
x
few and far between, I don't think they consider satellite a secure route
for information.
Escription doesn't seem secure
You can go into different hospital systems using the same install if you have the correct user name and password. That doesn't seem very secure to me. Anybody can hack into it.
I worked for a different company using Vianeta and could never access line counts. Was also told it
:+
but mgmt told me they outsourced some work to a small company at times.
There is no reason for me to lie about this.
I am NOT talking about offshoring, but the company whom they outsource to may offshore . . . I have no idea about that. But straight from the horse's mouth, they have outsourced to a small MTSO before.
You can notice how the work dries up all of a sudden when they turn it over to the service and we have no work.
TT mgmt may not tell that they outsource today, but they definitely told me about 9 months ago when I asked when the work was low. From the way the jobs disappear occasionally, I think it happens quite often.
MT has gone from being considered a secure job that provided a comfortable (sm)
middle-class living, to what it is now - sweatshop labor -with near 3rd-world conditions when it comes to how little it pays, loss of benefites, and how much one must work in order to earn half of what they made 15 years ago. Why am I still in it? Because I made the mistake of putting all my eggs in the MT basket years ago, when I was still young enough to change careers. But back then I didn't need or want to change careers. Now I'm too old to go back to school long enough to learn anything I could do that would pay decently (who wants a 70-year-old newbie at ANYthing?), and yet still a good 15 years away from retirement. So, although I keep looking around for something else, there is very little I could do at home on my own computer. I'm so burnt-out on offices & management that I doubt I could ever go back to an office ever again. The thought turns my stomach. I'm just hoping that I'll have enough in Soc. Security benefits when I'm finally eligible that I'll be able to get by on that AND a full-time (i.e., 60+ hours a week!) MT job.
Speed may not be the issue; wireless needs to be secure.

I feel totally secure with MQ...no problems NM
XX
The MTSO I work for does too. It actually makes me feel more secure sm
in knowing that they must be doing something right to live in a huge new house, drive Jaguars and Hummers and go on nice vacations. They've been around a while and it is nice to know that things are going well. I think that if my MTSO was broke all the time, it would be a sign that he/she did not have a good business sense and I would be worried that the company would be broke all the time too.
I also know that I am not the only one who feels this way. The owners do not flaunt it or rub our noses in it; instead, they have made improvements in the company at the same rate.
Christmas bonus? Not sure if we will get one. Do I care? Not really. I am greatful to be working steadily with a good wage and a good future.
I plan on it as soon as I secure another position. The sooner the better. (no message).
lmao!! yeah maybe I'm the recruiter...suggesting that my co-worker is the problem. yeah that make

nope, I'm telling you, I AM IN A SECURE POSITION - ain't nothing gonna happen
to my job.

Yeah, yeah, I spelled health wrong -
I am very angry right now and my fingers are taking it out on the keyboard.
Cherrypicking is when you work from a pool of jobs and being able to reject the worst jobs to those
,
Monster Jobs and Career Builder usually have a few path jobs. nm

I don't hesitate to ask. Have been told "yes", and have been told "no." Never been to
:+
Don't think any do except for those in-house jobs. Some QA jobs are paid hourly. nm

They didn't take our jobs, QT gave them our jobs. The account is now
back in the hands of US MTs, or will be in just a couple of weeks.
Are MTs that are looking for jobs finding good jobs right now with everyone looking or is it
getting more difficult to find a good job. I am most interested in jobs for experienced MTs with more than 10 years service. I wonder if it is better to put a resume on or just keeping applying or what is the best way to go about this.
Yeah, yeah, AND enjoy!
 
Look at all the jobs on the jobs boards.
You can find a job and won't have to apply for unemployment. You would be surprised how many companies need qualified MTs! Go get 'em and get 'em now!
Don't wait until the 11th hour. Too many needs to put your hat in the unemployment slot.
What they lost is our gain.
Yeah - n,

Yeah! Take That!
I like OSi too!!!
