In response to the corporate minded
Posted By: MT MQ on 2005-09-27
In Reply to: And? Your point? It is a business. If they don't make - Busy MT'ing
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.

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.
Why are narrow minded comments here okay
if s/he were standing in front of you? Obviously many of you do not personally know many people of other cultures, loved them and their cultures. Advocating violence borders on embracing the mind set of the KKK or neo-Nazism.
More is the pity.
that was a judgemental and closed-minded comment

Consider yourself lucky to have supervisors who are fair minded.

you sound completely narrow minded....nm
Good for you, Carol! If you are business-minded, go for it.....sm
I have had 3 friends who have done the very same -- I even worked for one of them for 2 years while the company got off the ground. If you can marked yourself/your service, be shrewd and confident, and have the time and energy/focus for bartering contracts, etc., you can really make great money on your own. I have not attempted it yet because of raising kids, and now have my elderly mom who just was widowed. And if you feel you need some business help, my friends all got mentoring through the Small Business Administration, they have former business owners who will actually come to your house, plan strategy, give you tax tips, and so much more. It can be so frustrating working for other companies in this business, all the best!
My attitude is production-minded for all involved
I have worked under some absolutely wonderful, great MT managers in my many years doing this job and watched myself and others working under them flourish. When I managed transcription I took steps to do the same from that experience. Is that a bad attitude? I don't think companies are "out to get me." I think many are disorganized and ignorant of the everyday workings of transcription and the MT pays the price for it. My current assessment of disgust for what I am seeing now being called management of transcription is not good, and I am not the only one who recognizes this downward trend. The difference in the past few years is day and night.
It's not personal. It's fact. So I'll take your personal insult with a grain.
2 cents you have the most well-rounded open minded post so far.
Thanks for posting.
It wasn't just a kid issue to start. He is a weak minded

Sorry that you feel that way. Not all Christians are narrow-minded or bigots!
Yep, you are right, there are starving children who cannot eat a Bible; and did you know there are missionaries over there who do bring them food?
The reality is we are HERE and not many of us CAN go there. This subject matter was about abortion. If you believe in God, and I most certainly do, then you have to believe that His Word is Truth and is to be obeyed! God has a purpose and a plan, no doubt about that. He know what He is doing and He has a reason. It is not for us to question, just to obey. In the end we will only stand before Him for what WE have done, no one else. Yes, there are hypocrites who claim to be Christians and probably go to church every time the doors are open, and I would rather go to church with SOME hypocrites than go to hell with ALL of them!!
Oh, that explains your open-minded, intelligent demeanor
Maybe this is a better site for you

Supervisors are a token figure-head for the weak-minded
who need guidance and approval. Why would anyone keep anybody who needed constant help on doing their job employed. I know my job and what is required. No one at this point in time can really advise me on what to do although as NEW supervisors come and go, they do give it a shot in order to justify their jobs. But they come and go and I stay. Buy a clue.
Well your statement sounds equally closed-minded to the one you're arguing with
Where one person prefers to live and why is their own business and no reason to diss someone else's personal choice.
Sorry, this is MQ corporate.

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?
Anyone know Frank's email at corporate?
I need to tell him a few things.
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
x
oopsie! 2nd response in. Just followed 1st response.
Or a corporate restructuring to head off lawsuit awards.
nm
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.
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!
I suspect that unless you post like-minded sanitized goodie goodie posts,

Meanwhile, the AAMT officers et al are sunning on Waikiki as we speak..on the corporate charge card.

Corporate greed is a rampant disease that will end up killing the American middle class....sm
These people never have enough, there are no scruples, In God We Trust is just something printed on currency instead of being a moral principle carried down by our Founders...the French started a revolution over this. I hate all war and violence, but how do we stop global economy as being the tool which the corporate entities use to rape the middle class workers? Sorry for the rant, bad week....year!
Yes I work for AMHERST ALSO and it is 9:30 and no work. Everyone really needs to call Corporate
about this. This will not get any better unless you go to Corporate and complain very loudly and I am very serious about this. Some of us have already done this but it will take all of you to do it. If you dont get a person down there put it on someones voice mail. The human resource manager is Donna Jack at extension 4905 in Mt. Laurel.
response
there could be a thousand reasons why they did not respond, yet the message was still on the board today. Don't think it means anything scandalous! I've sent my resume to lots of job ads, and they have still been posted, even after receiving a response about my resume. I don't understand what you're saying .
response to allow ex not to pay
I have been fighting this cs nonpayment battle for about 16 years. I have gone into dept to a lawyer, done tons and tons of paperwork, hired a company to collect. The states (there is more than one involved)do not help. It is a costly, time-consuming,frustrating, fruitless battle in many cases.
Response
Thanks. I tried printing out the lists but had to click on each name individually and do it one at at time so that was just as tedious as well and when printed out put them in alphabetical order. They were not dictated in alphabetical order but when a name came up you had to stop and finger through each name to find the perspective name! SIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Response
For one thing, I do not use proper english on the internet. It's completely short, to the point, and I do jump around. Even an English teacher will tell you it's different than a typed term paper. After being on the internet boards and forums, it has become a bad habit of mine, and someone reading my post completely assumed I'm ignorant and not hireable. I think my bosses would disagree, considering I'm quite the hardworker they need, my deadlines are constantly met, I go above and beyond the call of duty, and when medicare audits roll around, I am 1 of 3 people out of 480 employees who find their audit reports on the CEO's desk with a 99.8%-100% accuracy rate. I know the person I am and that of my skills. I didn't come to get attacked over my improper use of words, because I was on net forum discussion boards. Those giving sound advice, thank you. I'll be taking it to the bank. To those jumping in on my behalf over any snide remarks, TIA. I am sorry I struck the wrong nerve with you over my etiquette.
what was his response?
Thank you everyone for your response. sm
She has a consult with a pediatric gastro doc at a Childrens Hosp near us. I am praying that they can find something to help her. She is quite exhausted and so are we! I feel terrible not being able to "fix" it for her. Will keep you all posted. Thanks so much again.
