Yikes!!! Excuse me. All I did was ask who the company might be. Did it occur to you that there are

some companies we might choose NOT to apply with, or have applied already with and turned down an offer, or just not interested in a particular company. Who said you were covering anything up??? I prefer to apply with companies that I WANT to apply with, not with a mystery employer. I'm giving out personal information and have a right to know who it is going to. Someone is very defensive. What did I ever do to you!!!!

    Yikes, does the company contribute toward your premium? sm
    Wow, seems very high.  I've heard of $300 - $400 for a family plan monthly but never double. I know that a lot of places feel that you as the MT are saving travel, clothing, lunch money and getting a lot of perks working from home, but so are they by you doing it!  I do know plenty of people do work just for benefits though. If you're working for needed income just as much as benefits though....I'd check around.  Wow again!  Company I just got an offer from (didn't take it, they're bad) offered full family bennies for just over $300/month and it was a decent plan - good co-pay, deductible, etc. But it is one of the bigger MTSOs.  If it is a smaller one, they may not be contributing, just offering it to you.  It is possible to find one that contributes monthly toward your premium.
    Poor excuse for a company

    I am the husband of an IC who has worked for D & L for years and of course I have seen the insufficient funds checks, multiple banks and seen my wife go through tremendous stress listening to the lies from the Marino's.  My wife is a trusting soul and I begged her to quit but she likes to give people the benefit of the doubt but lets face it when something smells, it usually rotten.  To you younger generation of individuals who are thinking of working for the Marino's (John or Donna) who most likely will start another company under another incorporated company be aware of who owns the company.  I have seen my wife work all day and night go to bed a three in the morning and get back up at eight and start all over again for a company who could care less about her.


    A company that writes checks, knowing that there is not enough funds to cover these checks is guilty of fraud.  The new one now is sending out a check to an IC with no signature.  I can understand someone accidentally not signing a check but when you had a insufficient funds check two weeks prior which was made good a week later, and now a check with no signature then this is no accident.  Due to the insufficient funds check and slow pays from D & L I never counted my wifes checks in our budget since you could not depend on D & L to pay.  I feel sorry for those who have to buy groceries and pay the mortgages working for D & L


    Excuse me, but I was looking for info on this company and not to "dust up dirt" as you say
    What does amaze me is that no one can be very nice on this board. When someone inquires about a company, they need to know whether or not the company is reputable. I don't want to work for a company that doesn't have enough work, or doesn't pay on time. Maybe I should have been more specific, but don't accuse me of trying to start something.
    Yes, it did occur to me and that's why I WAS polite...(sm)
    unlike the poster who followed me! I too had to learn how to search the archives and that's why I explained how to do it. But, since we get the same question several times a week it is certainly not rude to post exactly how to search. I've never seen it explained here and thought that someone should take the time to do so.

    On the other hand there have been so many questions on Focus - on a weekly basis, and sometimes two or three times a week, asking other users to search is not rude.
    Did it ever occur to you this was intentional???
    DUH!!!  You Brainiac!!!!
    Did it ever occur to anyone that this gal is EXCITED about her
    .
    Did it ever occur to you to call **** or someone who can actually help you? sm

    Makes no sense to me to come to this board and continually B&M -- be proactive.  Talk to the office, if they cannot or will not help you, find another job.  You are wasting your time here, and making yourself look bad in the process.  It seems that you just want to whine and bash a company rather than doing something to actually make your situation better.


    Did it ever occur to you that MAYBE THEY DIDN'T KNOW???? SM
    That possibly they were lied to by the account?? Why would they pay to train you and upgrade all the equipment if they knew in advance that the facility would move completely to editing their own work.

    As for not being told, where were you people when the multiple conversations took place? On Mars?
    Along with some other things to occur recently.

    Lots of communication regarding 401K roll-out with discretionary match, but no word on other items we would like to hear about that is important to MT's.


    Did it ever occur to you to skip over those posts? Duh.

    Well, Cleopatra queen of denial - ever occur to you that if someone
    this industry has gone down the toilet and there are so few companies worth even working for these days?  You're amazingly misguided, but whatever gets you through.
    Oh for heavens sake! Did it occur to you that maybe she left there for a reason? She
    addressed that when she came to Transtech and emphatically that she was not interested in offshoring and they are not going to offshore. Sheesh! She worked for ONE company that offshored and she left that for a reason (didn't like offshore).
    8 hrs & 1100 lpd have to occur for FT benes. FT pay 8.5 cpl. People have had trouble with paychecks
    /
    Yikes!
    Run for the hills! Don't get suckered into joining them cuz they may offer 10 cpl as it is not worth it; also not worth sacrificing every weekend for chump change. They say they offer competetive wages in their ads but yet they don't offer incentive or shift differential. No wonder everyone leaves as there are greener pastures.
    Yikes!

    Yikes.
    I can't see any MTSO getting involved in this. I know plenty of MTSOs or their loyal workers read here. I warn people when I can and give credit to a good company when I run across them. If a company worries you, don't work for them. There are hundreds of companies to choose from. :-)
    Yikes.
    That is just terrible!
    YIKES!
    Just sounds like a bunch of people got up on the wrong side of the bed today. Everyone seems to be crabbing here. I know this is a company board, but why the personal attacks? I think possibly the attendings were not in lately maybe because of the holidays and a lot of docs who work for the Hospital Admitting dictated. It does not happen in droves all the time but it happens. And about people liking certain work types, that is good for the company, everyone just should be prepared to do everything if the company knows they have the talent. In my 20 years of experience things usually even out. Especially at a place as good a TT with the kind of leadership it has. Not to be goody goody, but if someone was worried about too much ESL or some other problem, why not just reduce stress instead of crabbing on this board. IMO. Of course now you can crab at me, but that's okay, I'll just have an egg nog and forget about it (see gab board). LOL
    Yikes.
    If you like coding, go back to school for that. No way should anyone be doing QA fresh out of school. Good luck to you!
    Yikes!
    That was the reason why I was thinking about applying was because my company has been very low on work almost all month, and I wanted something more stable. I guess I'll have to think twice about them then. Thanks for the heads up!
    Yikes!
    I would never give ANYONE copies of my pay stubs no matter who they were or what they said they needed them for! 
    YIKES!

    I saw an add posted on another forum and the address was Ohio.  Totally strange.  Indian-owned - - I will not apply.  Thank You! 


    Yikes
    Sounds like something Spheris would do.
    Yikes!
    We should all throw our shoes at whoever is in charge of that place!
    See I did it again - yikes.
    *hilarious

    I think I should just call it quits right now :)
    Yikes!
    Ebonics at its finest.

    Yikes!

    WOW! This is absolutely ridiculous!  There are some really unhappy and mean people on this board.  It really isn't anyone's place to point out grammar/spelling mistakes.  I get emails all the time from my supervisors I work for with typos and incorrect grammar and puncuation in them - WHO CARES?  I do it as well - I am more relaxed in my correspondence, but when it comes to my job, I am extremely conscientious about it.  That's how I make my money.  And the companies know this.  They aren't going to fire you or dock your work because you left off a comma or used an elipses in the wrong form.  I also have a side business where I deal with the Mayor, City Council, and various others in government and they all write like me too! 


    You posters who scream and belittle people for things like this really have issues.  Major control issues.  Get some help and leave the rest of these people alone.  Take a yoga class, do some meditation, go for a hike, have a couple cocktails - do something to relieve the stress and unhappiness in your lives.  You can't control the world, honestly.  To the posters who are like me and just relax when we write because we aren't getting paid to do otherwise, keep it up!  I definitely keeps the stress level down.  Don't let these OCD'ers and control freaks get to you - and most of all, don't get sucked into their pettiness.

    YIKES!!
    Better stay away from them too!!  Thanks :)
    Yikes! Thanks for the info

    Yikes, someone is definitely misleading others. I
    that Transcend is still offering 3 cpl incentive to work holidays.
    Undercutting ... yikes!
    That's not a great practice. That can hurt MTs in the long run because it lowers our pay. If the national can make that line rate, you should be worth it -- or at least darn near -- too! You really just shortchange yourself. Being competitive is one thing but undercutting is another. Make sure you know the difference!!! Competitive means you are within a cent or two of the competition. Undercutting means you accept way less, thus making it look like MTs in general just overcharge and don't deserve the higher pay. Keep it competitive but don't undercut! We deserve just as much as the nationals and maybe even more so don't hang yourself. If you give the impression that you're willing to do the same work for much less, you may have a really hard time raising rates later. Not to mention, other MTSOs will blacklist you for it and if you ever need a job, you may have difficulty finding one. MTSOs exchange info about undercutters all the time.

    I speak from experience so just a word to the wise.
    Yikes move on....
    If this is how they hire people, imagine when it's payday!
    Yikes! Got my answer.
    Sorry you do not have enough work. Now I know not to bother.
    No spellcheck? Yikes!

    Yikes. That's going to hurt your ck

    Yikes! Thanks for the info.

    Yikes .. right, not write. nm

    Recent contact said 1100lpd AND 8hrs of time must occur for benes. 8.5 cpl/no benes, 9cpl benes. nm

    Ok, ok, I meant "company". Yikes! :) nm

    yikes. i am a high producer. with the changes at Q,
    my pay has taken a HUGE cut, so I hate to jump from the frying pain into the fire. I transcribe and edit, and I am definitely feeling the pinch and have to decide this weekend. Thanks for the info...much appreciated
    Yikes..I don't think I've used that for like 10 years. Why do you ask?
    I'd also be curious to see if any companies actually are still using that. I can't imagine anyone still having it but you never know. Do you really like working on this now that we're on like WP 12??
    Yikes - with the pay cuts and all? You can have 'em.
    nm
    Yikes---that should be question not questino:-)

    Yikes! They were so nice during the test...
    Oh no....not again....
    Yikes..is your experience there current?
    I'm leaving a job like that now so chances are that I do not want to go into another situation like that. Life's too short!!!
    Yikes! Send resumes out right away. Try some of
    I suggest Transtech. They are hiring, and are safe! E mail them and follow up with a call. You need a job! Please consider this a good thing because if the job that just did this would fire you like that on a whim, they are not worth working for, but I assume you have bills to pay!! Please try sending your resume quickly to a couple of reputable companies like Transtech. I can't think of any other. I used to work for MDI-MD but can't recommend them anymore. So many I can say don't send to... but I can recommend TT. Please try the best you can to get on board somewhere ASAP! We are out here pulling for you... and once you are settled let us know you are okay!
    Yikes, I'm on a roller coaster!!
    I don't know what to think.  Guess I'll find out what its like for myself real soon. 
    Yikes! A good one to stay away from then. Thanks!! nm

    Yikes! Webmedx recently told me they don't have
    ...the capability for VR.  Is this something new?
