i was also told it was due to banking crisis . . .nm

Banking rules indicate that you must have
concrete proof that the direct deposit is going in because things do happen. If you have your paystub with the direct deposit amount and date on it, only then you can write checks and do withdrawals. Otherwise, it's your fault. It doesn't matter when pay usually comes. We went round and round with both of our banks over this because DH's pay wouldn't show up sometimes since his supervisor had forgotten to send the paperwork over to the payroll department. It didn't matter and we had to eat all the overdraft, NSF and check collection fees. I was so ticked off at his boss, but DH would never let me go off on the lazy good for nothing.
Saturday banking
Banks generally do not post anything (debits or credits) on Saturdays but if they do at all it would be debits not credits (they would make money this way). My bank is open on Saturday too for convenience but nothing is worked up until Monday morning as the 'main corporate' bank is the one that actually does the work.
Banking infromation and paychecks
Not to be nasty here but sceniaro being paper check in purse and going some place to cash it or to store before bank and someone steals it along with your identity -- I am with a small, stable bank, military based but as long as it is DD they have accounts open to anyone (barring bounced checks) with this particular bank, if I run out of $$ before the beginning of the next pay period, they will advance me up to half of my last DD.
Only had a couple of problems and that was a company who paid me weekly many years ago and tried to put my DD in a nonexistant savings account -- bank knew from deposit records and realized it was a goof -- bottom line don't panic unless its a rotten bank
You cover for each other in times of crisis? sm
I did not even realize we were allowed to talk to the other regular MTs, even though team leads have told me that other MTs have been in the same boat and I am not alone. I have often wished I could talk to the other MTs that I actually have something in common with. I only talk to the team leads, so I know they cover for each other, but as far as talking to a non-team lead for support or questions or friendship I thought they tried to prevent that? Now I really feel out of the loop.
Just read article about health crisis sm
for the MT workers in India. Study says workers are getting stressed working long hours and developing health issues. Check out the amount of lines they put out and with 99% accuracy compared to AAMT's accuracy of 98% Oh please!
I got the same email that said the same exact thing, "banking crisis."

Maybe you did not do enough that they would know that you stopped OR maybe they were glad to see you
and you saved them the time of terminating you. HA!
I believe they have stopped hiring PT, only FT

I stopped speaking out because SM
in the past, they had cheerleaders who came to this board who would attack people who gave true information regarding the company. It may look like the archives have little information and the reason they do is because a lot of the posts about DR have been deleted because the threads degenerated into name-calling.
The same people who attacked still work for the company (management), so I wouldn't bet that things have changed there.
Me too. I have stopped even considering anywhere else. I am here until retirement.
And that is such a stress-free thing, never to have to retrain for a new company again!
So what stopped you from speaking SM
to your supervisor before? Are you saying that you've been sitting there feeling bad about your financial situation all this time and just today decided to call and DO something about it?
I think maybe the Grinchy bully (and I am not serious when I say that, I feel he/she was truly helping you) motivated you to take some action.
I stopped about a year ago and
Don't miss it one bit and making more money - including benefits, PAID vacation, no work on weekends and holidays, etc. I'm 52 years old and couldn't be happier with deciding to get out. I still visit this board and the same things are being said about this profession that was said 10+ years ago. This field will NEVER change.....so I did.
I had the same problem with them. I stopped working for them as well. They
kept forgetting to pay me for spaces. At first, I was told that they did not pay for spaces, but I had an email stating that she did pay for spaces; so, I copied the email to them and got a check for the difference. Each paycheck was incorrect and I kept having to call them to get them to correct it. Seach the archives. I am not the only one this happened to. After I stopped working for them, It took them 6 months to send me my last paycheck. 
I can see your point but I stopped beig a
A company I worked for once sent out an email from the OWNER asking all of us loyal to her (cough, spew) would keep a list of screen names of people with bad attitudes so they would be sure to not hire them or to fire them if they were already working for that company. I turned notice that day and went to a professional MTSO.
They must have stopped doing so. I worked there as an IC for a while in the past.

I, for one, am glad those emails stopped:-)
They were constantly interrupting my work and really made no difference to me. I work my shift and I can tell by the times of the jobs if we're on schedule or not. Of course, I'm radiology and for some reason I was also getting acute care updates, so double whammy.
Why has Amphion overtime been stopped?
I was thinking of applying with them mainly because of that. Like the person asked below has the overtime policy changed or are they just caught up?
I worked for a company that stopped DD as JLG did. They
went belly up a short time later. The company was local to JLG. I didn't buy the bank instability crap that was being posted about JLG. I personally don't know any details, but having been through a similar situation I would be VERY concerned.
I agree 100%, I stopped coming to this
board for a long time because of it and I hesitate to ask a question or make a comment because you never know who will blast you, so
Thank You!!
I stopped thinking of this as a profession
and now think of it as a job. Fortunately, in the days of when MTs were of value and were paid accordingly, I paid off my house and don't have that hanging over my head. If I had not, being single, I would not be able to pay my house payment today. No pay raise for so many years I can't remember and now seeing post after post about 7 cents per 65 character line and people taking these jobs, it will be more like community service.
I am making sure I put some money away each payday because when that day comes, I'm going to apply at Target or the local Goodwill. I really do mean that. I have worked for 26 years now doing this. I have a dozen years left to work before I can retire.
We were not overpaid when we were making money. We were paid accordingly.
As far as recommending this line of work to someone, that is something I never would do.

Thought so, I stopped testing! sm
I never finished all the testing and thought it was ridiculous! I felt exactly like you are feeling.
I have been there 5 years. What changed? They stopped catering to sm
employees who walked all over them and started recognizing those of us that do a good job. They took away ICs and made people accountable for their commitments. They added benefits, added direct deposit, got a bigger office, added more staff in the office, and continued to grow.
I honestly believe that it was a very few people who were saying the negative comments but they were loud and had time on their hands.
They then moved to another company and decided to bash them, then another company and bash them, and so on. There are some people that never are happy and those that are let go tend to be the nasty ones on the boards.
The only problem I ever had was one check 4 years ago but direct deposit solved all that.
I think the owner let go a little where needed and stopped taking it all so personally. She is a tough one now but still nice, if that makes sense, just doesn't take cr*p from everyone.
I am on there too. I stopped posting much anymore because the bashers. sm
We were accused by nasty posters that we air dirty laundry on here. Other times, we are too cheerful. Other times, we must be management. Because of that, I tend not to post. Should we ask them to get a yahoo board or something? How about the intranet? Does that have a board?
I hope your friend has stopped working for her.
I just stopped reading it. I scan and read what is useful to me. (nm)

Transcription Matchmaker stopped working w/ Cbay
Heard same feedback from other MTs.
I use to work there, question for you, have they stopped the incessant micromanaging
and sending you so many instant messages it is impossible to do your work? I know loads that used to work there, all gone, horrible experiences. What a nightmare!
MDI-FL. thinking of applying. Is medical insurance still high? That is what has stopped me before
I cant remember what the cost was but it seemed to be be high for single and family coverage. Anyone know?
Ditto. I stopped even reading the company board recently
I could not even get through the conversations to the real information on companies. I come here to be informed and to be supportive, but it has gotten tiring going through the constant redundant arguing. I almost gave coming here but it is part of my day. I just come here less now.
Since you've brought it up, I've stopped SM
giving the negative info because every time I have in the past I am called a disgruntled ex-employee or told that my experience has no relation to what the company is like today.
I won't repeat the information I've given in the past, anyone can find it on searches. I've decided to just let the people have their experience with the company and that experience will validate everything I've ever said about those people.
The same people own and run that company--they may have new names doing the management, but it still runs the same way.
