Does anyone know Frank's email address?
Does anyone know Frank's email address at corporate? I feel the need to communicate on a personal level. Maybe if we ALL communicated with him on a personal level he would be sorry for what he has done and give us all trips to Hawaii and a raise. Ya think??
Did everyone get that email from Frank L. about the new pay plan coming out for statutory employees
this morning. Does anyone have any idea what this is going to be. I hope I dont lose money after all the years with MQ but we shall see.
For anyone that is interested the HR person at Corporate is Donna Jack at ext. 4905 at the corporate
800 number. I suppose we can discuss with her or leave a message regarding this situation in Amherst and hopefully she can directed the problem to someone down there. Enough is enough of this now.
Listen Mrs. Frank MQ. Just because Frank gave all his MTs a chapstick doesn't mean
he loves you less. You have to learn to share such a charismatic dude as Frank. There is enough Frank for all of us. Now go wipe your eyes and get your chapstick and be ready for Frank when he finally gets home. He has worked hard today looking for Christmas presents for MTs to top the chapsticks and that's not easy.
PS: I hear he got us nail files to keep us MTs prettied up. How cool is that? Maybe you could help him get that MQ emblem on the files for that personal touch.
I went to MQ web site where Frank is now answering questions. Looks like Frank
is running behind on his questions because they are last dated May 11. Maybe he is in Hawaii? 
Frank still loves the ranks even if you are rankled by Frank.
Frank cares. Didn't you get your chapstick? He doesn't want you to get chapped lips. Now that beats a raise doesn't it. Money is so impersonal. MQ chapsticks mean so much more. Lots of thought went into bypassing raises and just mailing those chapsticks that are clever enough to fit on a keychain that Frank including. That's big!
frank has needs just as we do. if frank needs a personal touch, i'm there for him.
just say the word. frank has so many stressors perhaps that extra personal touch will enable him to clear his mind and understand the mts who just want to help him. frank, we are here for you dude. just say the word.
so what becomes of frank? who will we go to with our questions? i have bonded with frank.
will you be keeping him on? can we ask you our deepest personal questions like we did with frank?
There is only ONE frank in the MT world. Frank (Mr. MQ) whatever his last name is.
We love you Frank! We miss you!
OKAY! I need a vacation. Frank and fans of Frank/MQ who won the Hawaiian vacation?
Does anyone know?
Please leave an email or email me at my address....click the email button. Thanks...nm

Sorry, this is MQ corporate.
:
Corporate has been contacted. The more the better.
:
coming from corporate
corporate requiring 12,000 lines/pay on avg or you will be dropped to SE status
It's Corporate, not Corparate.
That is elementary my dear.
Corporate Lessons.
Lesson 1:
When the human body was first made, all the parts wanted to be " The Boss."
The brain said, " I should be Boss because I control the whole body's responses and functions."
The feet said, " We should be Boss as we carry the brain about and get him to where he wants to go."
The hands said, " We should be the Boss because we do all the work and earn all the money."
And so it went on and on with the heart, the lungs and the eyes until finally the asshole spoke up.
All the parts laughed at the idea of the asshole being the Boss. So the asshole went on strike, blocked itself up and refused to work.
Within a short time the eyes became crossed, the hands clenched, the feet twitched, the heart and lungs began to panic and the brain fevered.
Eventually they all decided that the asshole should be the Boss, so the motion was passed.
All the other parts did all the work while The Boss just sat and passed out the shit!
Moral: You don't need brains to be a Boss - any asshole will do.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lesson 2:
A turkey was chatting with a bull.
"I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the energy."
Bull : "Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings? They're packed with nutrients."
The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it actually gave him enough strength to reach the first branch of the tree.
The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.
Finally after a fortnight, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree.
Soon he was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree.
Moral: Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.
----------------------------------------
Lesson 3:
A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day.
A small rabbit saw the crow, and asked him,"Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?"
The crow answered: "Sure, why not."
So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
Moral: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up. !!!
Corporate Lessons
Sorry forgot this one!!! 
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold; the bird froze and fell to the ground in a large field. While it was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on it.
As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it was.
The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.
A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him!
The morals of this story are:
1) Not everyone who drops shit on you is your enemy.
2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
3) And when you're in deep shit, keep your mouth shut
LOL I don't know. I do know they transferred their corporate
helpdesk back to the U.S. because it comprises 90% of their sales. I think it was 90%. The home users have to put up with the offshores tech support. I bought a Dell, too, because I figured I could do my own tech support without buying anything extra or calling them. Shoot, $300 for a computer and printer. They had to have lost money on that deal, right? I don't know if that was right or wrong of me if I'm against offshoring, but I really needed a new computer.
Anyway, you might try Dell's online knowledge base to search for the answers to your issues. Do you think you'd be able to fix it yourself with detailed instructions? What kind of problem are you having? Maybe I can help.
I can hear it now in corporate...
Hey, did you guys hear about the Big Virus? Wait a minute - we could USE this! Yeah, thats it - the Big Virus ate up your work! Yeah, that's IT! That's what we'll tell 'em! 
Well going up against corporate suits
is not such a simple thing.
As soon as the suits was $$ in transcription they descended on the trade and scarfed up a huge chunk of the work. That would be fine if the end result was fair pay and an improved product, but really it equates to some fat cat CEO reaping the benefits while the worker bees, well, work.
Solutions? Here's the hard truth: How many people are willing to walk away from jobs that pay (at least most) of the bills?
Not saying there isn't power in numbers BECAUSE THERE IS! but getting large numbers of people willing to walk the walk at the same time is not easy... just look at how easy it was for our government to ignore millions of patriots protesting this fake war (we knew it all along)...
Suggestions?
If you are having any problems validating your email addy, please email support@mtstars.com

KVMs $20-60. One internet connection. You'd have no email or a 2nd email acct for your 2nd puter.

I don't understand. I didn't get email from MT Stars, I got email from offshore people
is what I'm talking about. I'm not a liar and take offense to your insinuation.
They can send an email that goes to all MTs in one shot. I think she just means a courtesy email
would be nice. MQ is not getting any easier. My account has been picked over thoroughly when it went on DQS by ASR and I get all the remains because they only have a core group doing ASR which I think is wrong because you get all the bad dictators and it would be nice to be acknowledged that at least you know the person you can discuss problems with as they crop up. This is a big one and we have no manager anymore and no one to discuss this with at all in my office so you just sit here very day doing this work and no way to vent to someone that could offer some suggestions on this and other issues that come up to help relieve some of the stress of working this way.
Just send an email to the email link inside the post.

In response to the corporate minded
It's more like they are endeavoring to make up for their greedy management oriented mistakes of the past. The MTs are who make the money for the company as you seem to forget, when they are gone, there will be no company. The mass exodus has only begun.
its called corporate America
PC engineering, phone operators, telemarketers, anything you can telecommunicate is being offshored. Its a very unbalanced economy right now. Rich are richer, and there is less consumption as a whole by the middle class as we get poorer, notice how prices are rising? Its more expensive to live here than anywhere and the wages are steadily dropping. My mother had a great idea of collecting credit cards, since she gets a few of them a year, cashing out and moving to Mexico.
Husband is a corporate attorney
He makes more than I do - obviously.
Its just corporate America in general, the higher ups
Thats why they hire minorities, they work cheap, do not complain, and work hard. Americans are in trouble in regards to job stability because of how everything is computerized now. I cannot get a live operator on the phone anymore and spend more time punching in the correct number code for my particular question. Its so frustrating trying to understand someone with a thick heavy accent when you need instructions on how to do something immediately in regards to pc help. Working for corporations sucks, its cold, unrewarding, and scary. We all better find something to fall back on. I hope to work for myself one of these days.
If a sale, great! MTs will be fine! As for perhaps a corporate
restructuring, ya think??? Like maybe they've been doing that for a year now??? Its history, as in way taken care of already. I think they even hired new cleaning ladies! EVERYONE of import is NEW - brandy new.
That is just what Corporate America want us to believe. "Things could be worse." sm.
As an American citizen, I have a right to work, and I have a right to expect a fair wage. I should not be expected to keep moving from one job to another to find a fair wage (anybody that has been an MT for long enough knows that this has been the scenario). As an American citizen, I should not be expected to foot the bill of some CEO's plan to retire rich, at the expense of everybody else, nor fill the pockets of a bunch of greedy shareholders. If you want to be a member of the working poor class, then so be it. Just do not tell the rest of us that it is okay. 
Has anyone been able to speak with Corporate to see if they plan to look into Amherst. Did anyone
get any satisfaction.
My hubby is a corporate adversary trainer.sm
He makes a good salary and gets monthly bonuses as well as other perks.
Great! Now if we could only get the entire corporate world

Again, because you entered your email address, you CAN receive email from anyone, but THEY
e-mail address because it is not revealed when they send mail because we have spam protection in place. The only way they would know what your email address is, is if you reply to the email they send you. If you don't want to receive any email from anyone, simply do not enter your email address in the Email field.

I intended to email it- already email the mods to remove
z
Not through the MTStars email server. Your email address is NOT
visible to anyone. The only way your employer would know it is you is 1) if you respond when someone emails you, or 2) they recognize the way you write.
Or a corporate restructuring to head off lawsuit awards.

I'm talking corporate restructuring as in filing a new DBA soon, anticipating
bankruptcy and restructuring under a different corporate name. It's done all the time in the corporate world.
Yes we are all in the same boat in Amherst and I suggest calling corporate about it to HR. I did and
I hope others did.
Yes in fact I have called Corporate 2 times and got a runaround as to what they are doing.
:
No, corporate greed is what sends work overseas.
The only reason offshoring is alive is because our fellow Americans are too cheap to pay a living wage. They want their companies to show a greater profit and stock to go up.
I am an excellent MT. However, I can't make squat for money in this field because every single company I get on with sticks me with their lousiest accounts. I've learned seven new accounts in the past month between a small MTSO and a national. That's how it works. You do your best, QA scores reflect it, and they give you their garbage that nobody else will do.
I've installed countless corporate networks...
This was my profession for years. They are secure. Wireless, wired, however. They are secure. More secure than residential by a long shot. Static IP's, WEP's, encryption, etc. It has nothing to do with it being a "public connection". You or I cannot "grab" the wireless waves out of the air. It has to do with the security set in place in the firewalls, modems, routers, etc. Not trying to be a smarty, just letting you know from experience.
Has anyone reported this situation with Amherst to corporate or dont they care either about what is
going on there.
Walmart is trying to save the consumer MONEY. It's not all about corporate greed.
Rubbermaid products are advertised. So the costs of doing business with Rubbermaid factor in advertising costs. Now I don't care what brand name of plastic container I buy if the quality is equal. So I buy Rubbermaid's competitor (I forget the name) cheaper because they don't advertise. I also think there are a lot of big executives at Rubbermaid who take a bigger profit each year which once again factors in the price of Rubbermaid.
With the economy as it is, gas prices soaring, interest rates up, taxes up, our pay going down (MQMT), I don't care to subsidize Rubbermaid's advertising budget or their CEOs salary. And I go to Walmart and buy the plastic container that is cheaper because they don't advertise.
frank
Hey! I dont work for MQ and I dont' know Frank...I feel like I'm missing out on something big!
Well Frank cannot help
he just does not care. Nobody does. He is raking in the $$$$$. He does not respond to the e-mails, so what is the point. What a way to run the company. So sorry that we are boring you with our MQ issues. You obviously do not work for them.
To Frank
My experience was great too for several years....then one day.....POOOOF. Hard to make a silk purse out of a pig's ear...uh, that's hard to make any money with no work.
To Frank
I did just that, figured it out and rectified the situation.
Gloria, do not speak for me. I never said I wanted bennies, and other perks a corporate executive e
I simply want an MT job where I am fairly compensated for the work I do. I never asked for or expected the bennies and perks...just a fair wage with a good company. The only other thing I would like to hear from you is the name of your company so I can STAY AWAY FROM IT!
ohoh-should I know who Frank is? nm
