"hand holding"
No.....hand holding I don't need...nor do I need EXPERIENCE...I have been doing this for 20 years...so think about it!!...I am talking about little things that add up that they have NOT TRANSMITTED to you....a physician list for letters that were not given to and I had to look up every address......(oh we are working on getting a list)....pfffff....also had NO CLUE...where these physicians were and trying to find out where and why? Experience I have...just that I am not a yellow pages directory and they had very POOR COMMUNICATION...I was trying to be polite but since YOU ARE NOT.......I will lay it out....they are a TERRIBLE organization to work for....Also....try to put everything in microsoft word and then transmit, etc......lots of BS to put up with. And waiting for work...NOT KNOWING if you have work in your q....waiting for them to let you know if there is work......but yet you had to have it done @ THEIR convience even if it meant missing dinner with the family because I FORGOT to put it in your q....puuuhhhlllease!
The company is getting by on yanking peoples chains and empty promises.
How are the DRC/Acusis MTs holding up? Are you
s
Wow! How are your hands still holding out
typing that much for that many years! After 10 years, my hands are killing me after half a day. I used to be able to do that much, but it hurts too much now.
Really? Your STM should be holding these at least monthly
I would check with your STM to find out when he/she holds her team conference calls.
I am not holding out hope - already looking elsewhere
The new accounts aren't coming, several current ones are leaving, and layoffs have started, even in QA.  They hired in anticipation of the new accounts, so now they have those MTs plus the MTs from the accounts leaving to redistribute into the already shrinking workload.  It does seem like this is a situation being experienced not just at the Web, but that doesn't help us pay our bills.  I think we need to find a company on the upswing.
Heartlanders: A week later.. how are we holding up? sm
I don't know about everyone else, but the shock hasn't worn off yet and I'm still in disbelief. I've had the worst week of my life trying to figure out how I am going to survive, especially after seeing those COBRA rates - no favor to us!
What's holding you back is your address -
If you'd called them from Bangalore, you'd probably have gotten responses to every single application.
If there is a person holding each end of the pole, does that make them
:P
Good advice! I was holding a grudge
I realized that while I was angry and at home all the time with a grudge, my friend was out dancing and going on with her life.  I was the one caught in a trap.  Be above all that, forgive, turn the page and go on.
Dear SM thank U for not holding your tongue any longer

You don't even know what you are talking about.  They had no choice but to be open about offshoring after the best QA manager EVER got fired for accidentally forwarding an email from India. 


If they had nothing to hide she should have never been fired in the first place. 


Trust me you are much better off not taking the OSi job. 


At least 20 or 25 of us left that place specifically because of what they did to her. 


That was WRONG, WRONG, WRONG   Never looked back


try holding cntr down and using mouse scroll.

No hand-holding here at all. Experienced! But truly the WORST ACCTS.

I can do that as I expect a lot of places are holding off hiring now because work does tend to get a
little slow at this time of the year.  I can manage with what I have until January. 
Why would anyone be so adamant about holding on to such a crud-ball, crap-paying, loser of a job lik
If this is what it takes to get us off our butts and get a respectable job that pays more than a 16-year-old makes babysitting, so be it. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise.

I for one am outta here. Good luck!

Does background check include credit check?

"You can check my credit if I can check yours"

Credit check, FBI check was not for
me. The notion that if you don't pay your bills means your not a responsible person really kills me!!! Lots of people have $$ problems, especially if you are an MT, LOL!!! They are the only company I know that does these checks. Seems a little anal to me!!!
They can check mine if I can check theirs...nm

Thank you. I will check into it.

MQ check

Well, that threw me for a curve when I got the ipay notice, checked it out on ADP's site and it said for DEP adjustment???


I have'nt got the real check yet and did not know a letter was to accompany the check I was not expecting, so what is this for?

You can check into
Verizon wireless.  They have a PC card that you can use in your laptop.  It will give your computer a signal and it will work like a cell phone.  As long as you are in the Verison service area you can use the internet.  I have a family member who is always on the go and loves it!
You bet they can - check this out.

First Pay Check?
Is this your first paycheck from the company? If it is, then that's what happened to me on my first pay check only. I get paid every two weeks, but the first paycheck was withheld for two weeks so when I finally got paid I waited 6 weeks, but now my pay comes every two weeks.
check your......
email for a private message that I left you.

Bytescribe web side. I think there is a free one somewhere too. Very easy to use and kind of fun.


 


 


Did you check... (sm)
The system status on the main page? As of 1 pm PDT, status is Okay -- sort of -- It's the phone company's fault. (It was that way a couple of hours ago, too.) Clearly there's a technical problem of some sort(but I'm not sure I'd get paranoid about it and/or say Same Old S...)
no check yet either

Yes, I am in the same situation with the same company.  They informed of my 9 cents rate and weekly pay.   That was two and a half weeks ago.  The work was definitely there and they constantly calling me to work.  I got suspicious the second day when they did not send me a 1099 and no other paperwork besides their MT scope letter which means nothing but what hours can you commit to.  Well, I felt it was too good to be true.  I really like the account too but they wanted to me email every 30 minutes the work so they could cut and paste the work into the system.  I was like how the system know if it was my work etc, etc.  By the grace and mercy of prayer I have a job with benefits now while I was only IC with DocuMed.


FBI check and OSi
FBI called a friend's ex to get the scoop on me. He was later arrested for sex crimes and served time for that. Yeap talk about big brother OSi and FBI go hand in hand they have a ton of gov't accounts. We received an insurance settlement from a car accident and I was able to quit & leave them behind. Good riddance to them. That whole experience was awful.
Be sure you check out other
sources of job ads or even just look around for companies in your area and send in a resume even if you don't know if they are hiring. Check Craig's list for your area. Check sites like Monster. Watch for jobs that want a resume faxed or mailed instead of e-mailed. They do that so they get a lower volume of resumes, which works to your advantage.

Go to bbfb.com (Best Buy for Business). They have XP available only on-line.

I bought mine the first of August. I even went to bbfb.com, found one that I liked and added it to my cart but did not buy one that day. A day or two later Best Buy e-mailed me asking me if I was still interested in buying a computer, and they offered me a 10% discount.

I found this while doing a Google search.  It seems like her company name is fictitious. 


FICTITIOUS BUSINESS NAME


STATEMENT File No. 20070676. The following person(s) is(are) doing business as: FASTPHALANGES, 3850 Rio Road #40 Carmel, CA. 93923. SUSAN BARRIER 3850 Rio Road #40 Carmel, CA 93923. This business is conducted by an individual. Registrant commenced to transact business under the fictitious business name listed above on: March 7, 2007. (s) Susan Barrier.  This statement was filed with the County Clerk of Monterey County on March 16, 2007. Publication dates:  Mar. 30, Apr. 6, 13, 20, 2007 (PC 336)


I certainly would proceed with caution if I was anyone thinking of working there.  Fictitious, not for me!!  NO way, Jose!


NO...No check yet.
No check here yet either. My check has been 3 to 4 days late for the last two months or so, but anticipate one shortly. Hopefully. I know the mail does take a couple of days and then the weekend was here, but.....
no check
I too didn't quit when the first check bounced. They gave me the story that they were in the process of switching bank accounts. But then the second check bounced. Before that, my check kept getting later and later until finally I was lucky to receive my check within two weeks of payday, so I suspected something was going on for the last six months.

The archives, I mean.  Alot of excellent people with good skills and success before and after Alltype were used and abused there.  Just trying to give you a heads up without going negative.  Watch your back and the best of luck to you.


kS check
Hello, I am expecting my 2nd check today from them!  Last pay, which was my 1st, they did direct deposit it, but it didn't show til about noon on that day.  The payroll dept. at KS were very nice to email out an attachment to me as to how much it was, etc.  I am assuming this is their routine, because I didn't ask them to do it.  Very nice, I thought.  However, I never got a hard copy in the mail, so suppose if you want record, keep that, or print it out.  Good luck, keep checkin the bank and your email.  Happy KS-ing!!!!!

You might want to check out the company below.  They were willing to hire me PT as an IC but I had to turned them down because I accepted another position.  I believe they are located in Maine.  Good luck.

tt pay check

I sent email to company Sat saying only 1 pay check was deposited.  Monday morning there was a Fed Ex envelop on door with check from new company - I am a newbie too.  This is my first pay check.  So far the people have been terrific.


 


Check

I never had that problem with StatIQ.  The check that they mail on the 15th is from work invoiced from the 16th through the end of the previous month.  It is possible that you started there recently?  If you sent an invoice on the 1st, that should be the check that gets mailed on the 15th.  I just never had that problem when I worked there and thought maybe this could be what's going on. 


BG check....sm
How extensive? Are we talking ciminal history or credit and the whole 9 yards?
MQ BG Check

I started working for the Q a little over a year ago.  When I applied I authorized a BGC, but have no idea if they did one or not. 


I agree about not liking it on face value.  It seems to me in cases where an MT has many years of employment, once any co. verifies dates involved that should be good enough on the front end.  But what do I know?


Companies can check on anyone by paying for the program, etc.  It seems like it'd be standard for big companies (regardless of our opinions about it). 


If you want to be mad any anyone, steer it in the direction of our government (both sides).  Remember your last trip to the airport, where you (generic-looking American) got screened, while questionable people skated through?  How about the stories about LOLs in wheelchairs and nuns getting patted down.  It's all part of stripping away our freedoms, and both R&D are guilty.  Heck, had I known/realized MQ was shipping work to India at the time, I would've kept looking.  While I certainly don't like either, the India issue is far bigger to me.


 


thanks -- will check them out ... sm

I can do rigid scheduling and production for the 20 hours a week they require for part time ... hey, I might even be willing to work evenings for 20 hours a week ... hey, I'd be happy to transition to full-time after getting my feet wet ...


it's the 1200-1500 lines/8 hour shift requirements that I can have NO PROBLEM doing on a good day with familiar accounts and work available but which easily can stretch into 1200 lines/12 hours or more when work is unavailable or there are platform problems (why I left last employee status national gig) ...


Thanks for the tip ... . will check them out further!
