Then as I said earlier.....
Next time leave it for someone who will truly appreciate the opportunity to make an extra $100 - you obviously don't. In these economic times you should be grateful for the extra. Also, it wouldn't matter where you worked, either self-employed or employee, everyone has to have taxes taken out. Even if you made minimum wage somewhere the taxes still get taken off the top. That's not something you can get around no matter where you work. I don't understand your logic of working 5 hours overtime actually equal 10 hours, but even at that it's still $10 an hour and a lot of people in this country don't even make that much. You should still consider yourself lucky and stop complaining about it or don't work extra anymore.
WMX - earlier and earlier
It's 5 a.m. and out of work already. Seems to get earlier and earlier.  I wish an MT who's been there for years could tell me this is the norm and it's going to get better soon. I'm very concerned--haven't been able to get 20 hours in, and it's already Friday. 
Here you go...I should have thought of that earlier!!
d.addesso@mchsi.com
I took it earlier........got second e-mail
that some were complaining they couldn't get on one file either, so she sent another file which loaded on my media player, but at least I could hear it clear as a bell.
Did they overhire or something earlier. nm
:
i was with MQ til earlier this year,
and i totally understand. I am using the Bayscribe platform, and yes there are markers you can go-to the same way. Was also able to transfer my MQ Expanders to the Bayscribe platform so i didn't lose years of input. This platform isn't quite as fine as DQS on many points, but it all balances out and i am happier than ever -- i wish you the same!!
earlier this year I tried them...
my computer crashed after weeks of their being in there setting me up. Lost everything, had to reload.
Think about it - virtually everywhere else sets up in hours. Is it worth it?
approach with extreme caution.
There were several posts earlier saying it was the
big Q.
Discussed earlier - DO NOT DO IT
As per the discussion over the last week, testing with them is most likely a terrible, terrible idea.
They're asking applicants to test with 10 LIVE files, which means all they're really doing is getting their backlog done for free.
Think about it - 30 applicants? 10 live files each? That's 300 files right there - no more backlog and no money spent. Yowza.
LOL-I saw one of those at the eye doctor earlier
this week. The gal taking my information just turn 62 on the 12th. She said she still uses the electric and the docs would probably retire it with her. She said it was a great conversation piece. My MIL has an old carriage return. It has 2 keys that rise above the others. Haven't seen that in forever.
Complaining about VR earlier
Weren't you MDIers complaining about MDI work going to VR about 6 months ago? If it already has gone to VR then what is the problem with that VR work going to Transcend's platform for VR? I'm not a VR advocate by any stretch of the imagination but I was following the thread a few months ago that your work was already going there and I was glad to have dodged that bullet when I turned down the job with MDI-Carlotta had told me the work would NEVER go to VR but then it did. I'm sure Transcend does not want another VR platform when they already have their own. Just an observation.
But an earlier post said
If the pay cuts are taking effect 10/1 then why would people not be getting calls until November?
I called earlier today
?
Sorry, I had not had coffee when I responded earlier ... sm
best of luck to you too. I'm sorry that you are having to go through all this. I think most of us just want to work hard and do a good job and be treated fairly by our employers. Seems so simple, but in my experience it has been hard to find. I'm moving on and hopefully will have found a better employer.
In refernece to earlier post...has anyone
Just checking to see where this stands.
Can you restore to an earlier date and get (sm)
the changes the techie made to your computer? I had 2 different companies set me up with an e-mail addy for their company, and got scam stock e-mails. I feel your pain.
I posted about them earlier this week. I
received the e-mail with the prescreening form and it was worded so that I felt it was coming from off-shore.
I was out of work for a short while earlier sm
I baked a cake. LOL
I left that company earlier
They have no communication. I arranged to have a week off as I was moving. This was totally arranged and okayed. Then they took me off the books because they said I did not report to work and had abandoned my job. I explained the situation, and they had to sign me back on with direct deposit, etc. Evidently somebody did not communicate with somebody else in the company. I quit.
I am in a wonderful job now and am glad I went elsewhere.
I heard this earlier today...
... Are we worried yet? I feel worried.
I worked for them earlier this year (sm)
They are very nice people and paid on time DD. Platform was easy to learn as well. I had to quit because my daughter was very ill, but had that not happened I would still be with them. Good luck.
I think you are referring to my earlier post
and I am not in an illegal situatuation, though the poster who answered me tried to suggest that I am, or that I am somehow making the world less wonderful for other MTs.
If you feel used and abused, if your MTSO treats you as an employee when it comes to scheduling and as an IC when it comes to pay and benefits then you are in an illegal situation. I have been in similar situations and have simply chosen to move on. But I would not discourage anyone from slugging it out with their boss over the issue if they want to keep that job.
I simply don't want my personal very seaworthy boat sunk by somebody who has a hole in her own boat. 'kay?
Sorry, I didn't see the earlier posts at first.
It just shook me up with GP's original post, because I like GP.
Have they contacted you?
I sent a resume late last week but haven't heard anything.
Have already contacted her and IRS
As there was never ANY pay at all, but recieved 1099 showing there was.
They contacted me too, but sm
They all ended up with companies that are where Diskriter was 3 years ago, going through a complete management revamp and all only offered IC status at a lower rate than I am making employee status with DR, all of them required the same scheduling, although I think Diskriter is pretty darned flexible, never been told no or had a problem if I needed to switch days, leave early, etc. All of these past employees who were at DR are now at other companies. One of them got DR into the huge mess they were in to begin with . They have all said they'll hire me any day, no interview, no questions asked, but what they have offered preliminarily without my application was worse than where I'm at for line rates now. If you search the archives on the companies their with now, the responses from MTs there will say nothing better or worse than you see with DR, it is all a matter of OPINION again and to each his own.
If you are an MT looking into DR, go with your gut, if you feel like they might be right for you -forget the pre-employment requirements and background checks as an excuse to not apply, that is a pretty silly reason not to apply or accept a job, only desperate companies hire just by looking at a resume and not doing any background or physicals. DR is not a desperate company - we are all very qualified MTs who pick up the slack when needed until we get new people that are just as qualified.
They contacted me
within about a week, but I applied at the end of July after the **** hit the fan at the Q, probably before a lot of other MTs. They were just starting some new accounts and the timing was perfect. I know they were swamped with apps in August, but if you have not heard anything after a week, I would contact them.
They have contacted me.....
They have contacted me and I was already hired by them a few months ago. They are asking me to retest with them. Not so sure if I want to go through everything again. It may not be worth the time since I did not have a good experience the first time. They want to get me on the payroll and start training me tomorrow.
They contacted you first and then did this?
I guess they have plenty of time and money to waste. Makes you wonder if they had someone there with an axe to grind against you. It's possible that person saw your name and decided to use a loophole to not hire you, but its still a rotten thing to do anytime, much less during the holiday season.
Good luck and hopefully other companies will treat you fairly.
I contacted them..
I contacted K&R to ask them to verify the security officer's name. I haven't heard anything. The other very weird thing is that their website does NOT have their address unless I missed it. I had to Google the company and get the address that way.
It's just a weird set up. I think I may back out as well.
Have they contacted you? sm
I've heard not one word from them or anyone else I've applied too. I'm getting so sick of it.  Even a get lost email would be better than nothing! Ugh...
I contacted them, but the pay was way too low.
x
I called earlier and hung up from being on hold so
long. Apparently lots of calls today. Wonder why?
This is exactly why I told a poster earlier to get her degree! nm
x
stay far away from Alltype...see earlier messages.
far far away.
What happened to post earlier today regarding MD-IT?
@@
No response earlier, anyone getting reply from FutureNet ads? (sm)
I submitted a resume several days ago and have had no response yet. With all the hooplah on the boards about them not having work I didn't think they would be swamped with applications. I was just looking for PT to supplement my other job so running out of work now and again wouldn't kill me. I have 20+ years acute care experience so I really was vain enough to expect a response. Foolish me.
I read this thread earlier today and I was
amazed that nobody had called you a liar yet. I knew it was coming. It is human nature to be envious.
I for one believe you, and I'm glad somebody is still making some money in this field. It gives me a little shimmer of hope. 
They posted earlier for an account starting on the
They can't control the one they started on the 15th. It's total chaos!
Yes I do. I accidentally emailed you earlier. Instead of hitting
the post reply button, I hit the email button. Feel free to email me. Maybe we can add each other to the messenger and talk that way.
It was on the Main Board earlier this morning but
was apparently deleted.
Fatcat...I sent you a private email earlier..sm
and am not sure you got it, but my basic question was that the jobs I am being offered are about 8 cents or 9 cents VBC as an IC or employee. After 30 years in MTing I hate to take such a paycut, but I don't want to be turning down jobs if that is the best I can hope for! In your experience in job searching was that about the rate you were encountering? You can email me privately if you like. Thank you!
THEY HIRED ME AND NEVER CONTACTED
I have been waiting and waiting and they have my contract and all the paperwork and they are nowhere to be found. Anyone else have this experience?
I think it was 2 days before they contacted me. I
turned it down before they offshore.
I was contacted the day after I submitted...sm
my resume by one recruiter with a couple of questions about my experience with ESLs and operative reports, then received another e-mail from a different recruiter the following day to schedule the formal interview.
Sounds to me like she HAS contacted the-sm
ones that they have chosen for the positions, and that she was just letting the others know that the choice has been made, probably so there will not be any more discussion of her not responding quickly enough, on this board. jmo
Thanks, she contacted me and guess what...
She is going on a short cruise and will get back to me when she returns about the position. I think not.
Yes, I contacted HR, this is not an issue
with my paperwork. It is that they have not sent my contributions to MetLife - not one cent all year, and I am having 10% withheld. That is a lot of money the company has been using. Almost seems like stealing, doesn't it?
Florida - I'm being contacted by them
via email and not even sure how they found me. I've never applied to them. I'm currently an IC but now I'm curious about them.
Same here. I emailed them once, but they never contacted me. nm

Has anyone been contacted back sm
by Lee Pefect after passing test since recent ad?
Thanks so much!
