dont misunderstand me...we didnt work knowing we wouldnt get paid

In Reply to: Why keep working - Long time MT
How stupid would that be? We were paid a month behind. So when the 18th came we expected our check for the previous month. So that would be one paycheck. No one willingly works for free. I know i certainly wouldnt have typed as much as i did for her - taken time away from everything/everyone else - if i KNEW she wasn't going to pay me. Seriously, I hope she rots for what she has put me and my family through. I'm not talking about a couple hundred bucks. I'm talking thousands of dollars. Yep, I'm ticked

Dont misunderstand me...
I still have wicked ESL docs to contend with (maybe even more so than in my primary account with MQ), but man I feel like I can put what I have learned to use to produce better reports, increase production, and maybe just maybe be able to make enough money to pay the light bill.
I agree, if you went to work knowing full well that the company paid 7 cpl no spaces
why on Earth did you accept the job?
Thats Right its not breaking any codes to tell the hospital that you didnt get paid for the work. nm

I didnt get the packet, do we have to take their insurance if we dont need it. I dont want it. Wish
I would have gotten the stupid thing to read.
Well, seems to me if you work you dont get paid eithr - sm
I do understand the dilemma, but honestly, start looking for a job that does pay during this period. I know of many companies that unfortunately play games with your pay and I've been watching one do this for five years now and remarkably he is still in business because while he does eventually make good on his promise to pay, he wreaks havoc on those who work for him constantly. People like this should be shut down, but as long as his contractors keep playing along with him, he will continue.
Wow..you actually even got an email about it. I didnt even get that. I dont even know what your
talking about.. Do share so I can decide if I want to be upset or not. Incentives?? who gets those.
If your hired at an hourly rate and you run out of work, then you dont get paid anything??
Just saying, you worked a total of 3 hours one day, ran out of work for two hours, then for that day you only get paid 3 hours? That would suck and it wont pay my bills.
I just dont want to hit that extra space if I dont get paid for it, ya know. No message.
nmnmnm
Agreed. Could not make any money there. Platform is horrid. I wouldnt matter if you were paid 18 cpl
if you couldnt get a good line count in.
OP did not ASK if paid spaces, SAID didnt. Re your

What I mean is, to be paid for holidays, even if you dont work. Major holidays.
Sorry. What I mean is, to be paid for holidays, even if you dont work. Major holidays.

I dont know what that means. I am an SE. I dont sit and wait for work I come back in when it is
there so I never had to deal with Amherst when there was no work because I just stopped working and did other things. My feeling is if this doesnt work there are other jobs out there.
If I cant make QA, dont give me work. Dont dock

Dont you think that if they paid you better,
and hadn't stooped to the lowness of using VR, that you wouldn't be 'hurting' right now?
It's kind of hard to be happy right now, knowing that as our economy begins to emerge from recession in the future, our incomes will continue to stagnate or drop, as everyone else's start going up again, along with the price of everything we need in order to survive.
If I decided to suck it up and just be happy that I have something to do all day, even though I don't have much in the way of finances or security to show for it, then I'd only be fooling myself.
Knowing that the only time work is slow is during
is wonderful and I will flex my schedule any time to keep my job at Transtech.
Nope, didnt forget - the went grated my nerves, the other didnt
so i didnt mention it
No, you dont get paid once a month. - sm
You get paid twice a month, but rather than invoicing on the first and getting paid on the 15th, every basicall 14 days, you will wait 28 days. So you will wait an exgtra cople of weeks for the first check, but after that you do get paid twice a month.
I meant foot pedal wouldnt work. nm

So if you transcribe 100 lines, you dont get paid for

Sorry that didnt work
Their PTO is good. Lots of ESL's. I wasn't there long enough to see about a raise, but something after 120 days they were supposed to evaluate you for it. They always pay on time. Platform is very easy to learn.
I don't know about their line counting system. I don't trust it only because several times when I would send a job I would keep getting it back several times already typed by myself. I even got a report that was already fully typed from another person, I didn't take credit for it. Trust me, they wouldn't break or abandon a report that long it had no blanks and 1 QA marker. I didn't think it was right. I asked the WFC and she said to abandon it. I got that typed report back every time I would finish a job that day. So I dont know how often that happens, but I didn't like it.
Not trying to bad talk the place, everyone was very nice, nice doesn't cut it..when it comes to work, don't expect any, and don't expect anyone to get back to you about a second acount, plan on working all weekend every weekend.
I don't know about everyone else, but when I pick a schedule, I pick it for a reason, to work it.. not to work every day and every time but that. I don't mind it here and there, but it was EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND. Sayin how they are tired of always having the same people being team players.
They require one weekend day a week. I wasn't able to work any other time really than the schedule I picked
Anyways.. I worked 5 hour days there and I ended up with no more than 200 lines a day.
Might be different for you, but I'm just giving you my experience.
Check out page 2 or 3 on the company board there is more talk about them there.
If you are paid cpl based on 65 char.line, margins dont matter.

I am sorry, but did not misunderstand
and not all posts were against asking for work but some were. If you have asked, offered to cover anything that comes up, and are experienced in what accounts are available and still no answer, then it may be time to move on. I think about 400+ MTs work for MDI, perhaps more. It would be interesting to get a complete accounting on how many are down in work. I apologize if you have all been asking your TL and the owner for work and not getting answers. The silence is very strange, especially when the owner sends out the email she did today. I wonder if she ever reads this board. I think some of her TLs may. If so, this may be important info getting back to her. Let's hope so. Sorry if I offended anyone. I, too, keep hoping for things to pick up. I hate to start over, yet again, with another company who may turn out to be even worse.
I fear you misunderstand
I am not sniping at anyone. Why do you think I still post here if not that I care about what you people, my sisters and brothers, are suffering??? Your post totally offends me. If you recall, I am being sued because I posted MY experience that I thought might be helpful to those of you trying to make decisions. My heart aches for all of you who are having trouble making ends meet and I truly wish I could help all of you and I am TRYING as best I know how by bringing certain facts to the attention of appropriate people who MAY be able to make a difference. The point I was trying to make is that if SOME will settle for 7 cpl today, tomorrow these greedy MTSOs will see no reason to continue to pay 7 CPL because they will be able to get people to work for 6 CPL. You see where this can go? Do you really think anyone can support their family on a couple of roupees (or however you spell it) a day? I think not. That is the point I intended to make. At least look at it this way, I'm not out there competing with anyone for work while I'm out galavanting with my husband's retirement in my motorhome.
What people seem to misunderstand is that a recruiter is not the HR department. They are the sm
recruiter. HR director or department head deals with the rules of human resources, benefits, numbers, etc. Recruiter is the KEY person, the one people-oriented individual, the one who talks and gets to know the prospective employee, the one who tests and usually the one who checks the references. That person hires the people. It is the job of the recruiter in any company to hire the individual and THEN to forward paperwork to the department that needs the MT. Now, as a recruiter, I follow through within three (3) days' time to see that all the necessary contact with that individual and department has been made and if it has not been made, I put the crunch to that department head to step on it. We are dealing with people who need a job and have quit their job supposedly to work for us. No one can afford a lapse in employment unless they want a week off in between, which sometimes they do.
Too many people seem to think HR is the recruiter, but in a company with a true chain of command, that usually is not the case.
I don't know how this company operates in that area, but most of the companies I know that are in growth put an HR dept in place, have a director, and 1 or 2 recruiters. The recruiters hire. The individual departments are responsible for getting those people up and running BUT because I know how important it is to get people started and started on time and because sometimes I feel that no one can do the job as well as me (sadly), I have to follow up to make sure those people are not forgotten.
This is worrisome to me that I feel this way, but unfortunately I have come across companies that have let this happen and I do put a fire underneath the departments and it is successful.
you work there dont you? You tell us

Dont even work there
Hi,
I worked there for few months and realized that its not a good place to work at all. Specially the Owners of the Company is the biggest problem to work there as he is not a professional at all. They are loosing clients recently and not good to go there
I dont work for MDI-FL but I would certainly hope
that the rude poster below does not work for them. I would not want to work with people that rude. The original poster just asked a question, isnt that what these forums are for???
hope you dont run out of work-- nm

Dont work there but you know they arent doing
sfd
Oh I wonder what happened to those MTs then. Dont they have work now. Are all the
MTs running out of work. I wouldnt think many are happy if there is not enough work. I know I am not.
I dont work for this company, but I do want to say...
I read all of the replies to your question so far, and it is nice to see all the support from your coworkers. All had very thoughtful and well thought out replies. Must be a nice company to work for, and I think you are fortunate to work there.
Good luck improving your line count.
Why dont you do the work for 6 cpl and keep all the profit for yourself but
I expect you cant do it so you try to hire people for 6 cpl that can do it. I bet you didnt get hundreds of applications this time.
Agree, lol. I dont even work there & I can tell
ed
If you think you dont get more of the junk work when it is picked over by VR or ASR you had better
think again. The best attendings will be gone to VR and you will get the leftovers. I have been doing both for a year and I can guarantee you your CEO is full of it. Dont believe a word of it. You will either make less money on ASR or less money on the leftovers. Take you choice.
I dont work for TransTech, but I have noticed that too. nm

I read somewhere that certain routers dont work with VPN. SM
I believe it was a certain Linksys brand.
I would like to go wireless too.
Just curious, where do you work if you dont mind my asking. nm

I dont think you will make more than that for clinic work.
I make 10 cpl at the Q, but have been there 12 years and was at that rate when my prior company was bought out.
There are people who make that, but not for clinic work and probably not for just starting at a company. I have been applying like crazy and the best I came up with was 8 cpl for Basic 4 and 9 cpl for straight OPs.
Thats 15 years experience.
You have to wonder if the supervisors that dont care about no work are always
getting new MTs because they quit all the time.
my antidepressants dont even work anymore.

Dont work there but noticed few weeks ago they
e
I dont cherry pick, never did. I dont do that to my coworkers on my account.
What is the new status. I dont understand what it means. I dont need their benefits nor do I want
them.
Dont bother. Not enough work to go around. People are quitting.
I guess at this rate, they may be hiring if everyone ends up quitting due to lack of work. They will come on here and state that we should just call the office and you will get put on another account. That is a joke. We have all tried that and you get ignored.
DSG IS MY WORST COMPANY VOTE... DONT WORK THERE...
I agree, they are unprofessional and rude. They throw you into a pool that they have overhired for and there is not enough work to go around... then they cry and complain when youre not hitting your production. They set impossible standards.... unless youre a brown-noser, in which case, see those peoples posts as the ones who would say anything positive about DSG. Its like the movie Mean Girls, and the mean girls are running the show there.
Yep. couldnt tell you excited we were to find out why we dont hardly have any work. Obviously, it is
going elsewhere and so are we.
Most facilties want their work for cheapest, dont care
