Also Christmas cards, etc., should have been taken care of way before the accts

Last year, from Keystrokes we got Blockbuster gift cards for Christmas and for MT week sm
we got candles and candy. I always get a birthday card too, which is very nice.
Merry Christmas to you too! I think it is great that Transcend sends out gift cards to employees.
I wonder how many other companies do that. Let's see, with over 1000 transcriptionists that is 25,000.
Again, thank you Transcend!
Again, not true for everyone. I have 4 accts, all high-level 4, acute care. You are fortunate....
but that is does not hold true for us all.
How are the MW accts that use the ExText? Good sound? Lots of work? Acute care or clinic? Thx. nm

Guess we all can't be put on good accts. Gotta be there at the right time. Both of my accts.

Christmas morning here and not even a Merry Christmas

Those mag cards!
Forgot about them. Those sucker were huge!
Another thing, I told my daughter about what my doc said this morning and guess what she told me? She said when she goes to her doc she is given a laptop and has to fill out her own record. She said it takes just about forever, which is probably what is going to happen with a lot of the EMRS. Can you just imagine the mistakes that can produce. She said then the doctor just reads the computer and doesn't ask any questions. I never................ Is this what health care is going to come to? Next we'll probably have the computer making the diagnosis and prescribing treatment and never even see a physician.
I received the e-cards as well - sm
I'll bet we have the same liason! I really like her and thought it was very thoughtful of her to take the time to do this.
Transcend does more than Thank you cards...
We get it - you are unhappy. I love the company and many others do. There are a lot of companies out there. Why do you stay?
cards are cheap... and so is the thought.

Have gotten cards from them svl times over the years. nm

I work for MQ and have never gotten a x-mas bonus, only cards. sm
Not even from the company they acquired 8 years ago.
I really doubt a company this big can give x-mas bonuses. With over 6,000 employees that is a lot of money to fork over. Plus with Philips Electronics wanting out of MQ, do not think even higher ups will get bonuses this year.
My company sent us E-CARDS this year. sm
They were too cheap to spring for a an actual paper holiday card with postage.
A freaking email card. Yeah, no gift card attached to that baby, either.
Ah, yesssss. Cards. I usually toss em right away,
I do hang onto the blank envelopes to use for sending things like homemade get-well cards, thank-you cards, etc. to friend. And my kittens are having a ball with the box the now-shattered coffee mug came in. It's all good. Almost.
One gave small gift cards ($25). Another...
sent homemade cookies/candy. Another one, nothing. Current one sends out a big gift box of various stuff. Actual signifant cash money? Never for me.
Do they owe us anything? No. I don't think so.
Maybe we'll get Ramadan cards next year.

I used to do HR for an MTSO and sometimes cards took a while but the coverage was in place. sm
if they have taken the deductions out, don't panic. With the holidays and the way they fell this year with Thanksgiving and Christmas so close, a lot of companies were closed a lot. My SIL works for MetLife and they were closed all but 2 days each week between holiday parties and actual holidays, so perhaps that is what the holdup is. The insurance card is important but you are covered without it if you have been paying!
Spheris --sending out recruitment post cards?
Any one else get these things? Don't they offshore? I could have swore I saw some things on here about them running out of work.
Just wondering
Did you ever get anything? I'm perplexed why some people got just cards, some got card and gift c
and some of us nothing. I can't imagine they forgot some people but it's starting to look that way. Oh well, at least we have work.
I so totally relate! I go back to the days of mag-cards,
I took a Wang course at the local Jr. College because my boss said they were getting one. Suffered through a year of typical school garbage: a semester of 'The History of Word Processing'; a semester of classroom work for Wang information; then another semester of lab -- made all the more exasperating because the PC I'd been assigned to kept breaking down on my lab nights. Ah, yes. The good old days.
But at least back then, a person could rent an apartment and fill their refrigerator on what we were paid. Remember that? Nowadays it's nothing but a distant memory...............
Yes I did. I thought it was an oversight on their part to not send cards, guess not.

Transcend is playing games, giving gift cards
and doing contests (poetry) and others. There is a contest for a big screen TV.
Transcend cares about its employees
Nothing from Transcend, although I heard others got gift cards or at least a card. I've worked th
several years so if it was just a case of being forgotten that is still pretty pathetic. How do you forget your employees, especially when you get junk bulk mail from there regarding nothing that involves you..but at Christmas you were forgotten. Oh well, I have work and for that I am grateful so I'll be nice...
Didnt think of it cause I dont care. Wouldnt care if

Xmas coming. New company, thinking about sending Xmas cards. (sm)
Thought about just sending one to the office in general, is this tacky? I actually am in contact with some of them more than my direct supervisor.
How do you all handle this, if you send cards at all, that is. This is a fairly small, very family oriented type company. If I were still with MQ you can bet I wouldn't even though my supervisors over the years did always send out a card to me on Xmas. I just never felt very festive when I was working there.
Christmas
Heard on the new last night that Coca-Cola will not be using Santa's image this year on any of their Christmas products. They will use a picture of a polar bear instead.
Nothing for Christmas
The company I have worked for for almost 2 yrs send me a $20 thing of candy. The other company I got nothing, not even a Merry Christmas.
If Only...What I wish for this Christmas.
Reading posts below how so many MTs just wish or hope that they may get some sort of recognition - a bonus or a gift or anything for their hard work for the year. I cannot say how angry I am - steaming mad - to read the derogatory posters who call these hopeful or disappointment MTs childish or greedy. Its so heartbreaking. American workers for decades regularly received Christmas bonuses in every single industry, period. We all did. Our parents did and our grandparents did. If they didn't, that probably meant they were the bosses or business owners, and they happily were the ones giving out the bonuses or gifts to their beloved workers. THIS IS SICK that other MTs can bash those who still have hope, or those who desperately need the $$, anything. A lowsy $25 gift card might feed their kids for a day. Yet its A-OK in our country that the CEOS and our OWN BOSSES get 6 and 7-figure Christmas bonuses every year, whether they run our companies into the ditch or not. They aren't called greedy or childish. We continue to work ourselves to the point of breaking 24/7, and darn sure do have the right to hold out the most meager of hopes that yes, MTs, there is a Santa Claus, he does care, and maybe we might get a $25 token of appreciation from our employers, who are darn tootin' making a boat load of greenbacks thanks to our labors. Merry Christmas, and I wish if I were rich that I could find a list of all US MTs and send each and every one, newby or seasoned pro, a $25 gift card and a Christmas card. I truly wish I could do that. Maybe someday I will. Don't be ashamed to hope for a present - good grief we get nothing else, nothing.
Christmas
It is coming....already spent mind....
Are you allowed to say Christmas?
Pretty soon, everything is becoming so politically correct, we won't be allowed to use the word Christmas anymore. Maybe they were insulted - you should have sent a holiday card instead.
But, no - I don't think I've seen a Christmas card or bonus in years. Boy, in the good old days at MQ, a few years back, we actually used to have Christmas parties - imagine that!
CHRISTMAS IS AMERICAN
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Majority rules here in America. MOST people celebrate Christmas in this country. If I were in a Japanese country I would expect to see oriental things all over the place and if I were in Israel, I would expect to see Hannukah all over. What is wrong with people? The world has gone totally nuts.
Maybe it's a Christmas gift
in appreciation of a year of hard work. Does Amphion ever send Christmas gifts to MTs? If so, why gripe?
Merry Christmas to you, too!

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to all.
Christmas Gift
Those morons sent me chocolates for Christmas. Unfortunatley my son was here to accept delivery. I would have sent it back. I'd much rather have my PAY!!! They have the nerve to have BONUS pay in their ad for new MTs when they can't even pay the ones that are working there now. I was on their payroll, so it had nothing to do with IC invoicing. I think they guesstimate at lines because they are never close to what I have actually typed. Glad I'm done with them!
Christmas Gift?
My gift  was an email from the company wishing me a Merry Christmas and then they sent out emails Christmas Eve and Christmas day asking MTs to log in and work some;-)
Christmas present
I also received a nice present from mine this week,as well as nice thank you gift at Thanksgiving! I've never received a single, solitary thing from any other company that I've worked for before. I feel appreciated.
Now THAT is what the spirit of Christmas is all about. (sm)
When I worked in house at a local hospital we used to adopt a family each year and had a blast doing it. We were a large department and would provide food for the holiday meals and all the Christmas gifts. One year we took my little truck with the camper and literally had it filled with boxes of food and presents. One lady in our department is of a religion that didn't believe in Christmas, but wow, did this lady come forward with food products for the family. One year the mother of the family we adopted even sent us pictures of Chrismas morning. That was truly a heart warmer too.
Christmas card
Thinking back over the years we used to get a corporate card but now I think we only get a card if our supervisor and/or manager decide to remember us, some do and some don't. Since I have had about 6 supers this year, I doubt it. Once I got a $5.00 gift certificate for Starbucks from my super, that was nice but the nearest Starbucks is 50 miles away as I live in South Georgia boondocks. Seeing that I haven't even had a cost of living raise with MQ for 7 years, I don't look for a CHRISTMAS BONUS!!!!! Do you work for MQ? Hope you get one if you don't.....
Merry Christmas

Thankful at CHRISTMAS
I want to thank my company Transform for always have lots of work, great pay, great people and just a great place to work. I am not bragging either, I am THANKFUL and would like others to know that there are companies out there who actually do what they say, pay well, and treat their people nice. It's a shame that some others on this board will not allow us to post on the COMPANY BOARD about our COMPANIES.
CHRISTMAS BONUS
I have from a private account.
I got an e-mail Christmas Day
It says Merry Christmas, work is behind and overtime is approved!
christmas acknowledgment
Hey....our bullentin had Christmas trees on it....what more do you want? :)
Christmas gift-OSi
Got a card,coffee mug with coffee, and lines that day. Also had pay deposited a day or so earlier, and that's much better than I've heard from other companies, at least pay-wise.
AX Christmas Bonus
Yes, they have given in the past. Usually in the form of a 50 dollar Visa card, which can be used anywhere. Don't know if we will get one this year or not.
Christmas bonus
I've worked at SoftScript, Medi-Max, Spheris, and several other smaller MT companies and in 15 years I've never once received a bonus or a raise from any of them, Christmas or otherwise.
By the way, Spheris is the worst company I've ever worked at in my life, and I've had several different careers. They lie to, cheat, and steal from their employees, pay slave wages, and constantly harass you to produce more and more and more while cutting your pay. Even in this economy, I just quit that horrible, horrible, inhuman place. Horrible.
Merry Christmas to all! sm
Hope you all have a very nice day whether you are working or not and may God bless you all! I'm working today and don't care if I get all my lines for the day and I don't even care if I get any gifts. I'm just glad to wake up and see the beautiful sunshine and pure white snow outside! For me, that is the best! 
This is EXACTLY why I work every Christmas now and with TT sm
shoot, today I hit a pocket of the good stuff on my morning shift and spent an hour with simple normals I have for doctors who don't have them on the system...I had close to 1000 lines for morning part.
Unhappy? NO
I was just told before Christmas
That's all I really know. I only wanted part-time. The recruiter got right back to me though and I applied through their website. Basically, I just sent them a resume. Things may have changed.
Christmas in April
Company bonus just extended....guess I didn't need to get up at 4 AM!
Cyber-terrorists are horrible, but turned out to be a financial blessing. Those of you who work for our company know what I'm talking about.
