Watch out for SPi

I used to work for MQ and started working for SPi before all the latest changes that really screw up the MT compensation.  Nobody here cares about doing things the right way and they can make you work for nohting at all.  Recently found out that one of the managers at MQ that was one of the reasons I left there has made op manager at SPI and she is probably behind all these bad decisions.  DONT WORK FOR THIS PLACE. I have just given my notice and am moving on.  SPI wont be a good place to work until they start listening to the people who really know what they are doing and stop listening to the people that will bring the company down.  STAY AWAY FROM THEM.


oh, oh watch out
This is starting to sound like TransTech!
I watch the job ad looking or not and NO
they seem to be going down more. Look at them. Even want to pay less (7 cent)until off QA. We are already losing big time as if, we make even less until get used to their system, acct specific etc. I could understand if paid by the hours, but this is not the case at all. WE not the company are the ones who lose during this period.

Look at the ads, 7 to 8 cents. POOH!!!! Even saw 5 cents and recent... in last few days.
Watch it, LOL!
Please don't insult snakes. I love them (have one) and do not want to see them compared to these cretins. :)-
Your day will come soon enough! Watch your back!

If you are currently working for MQ watch out. (sm)
Lots of posts on another board about them requiring schedules for ICs and requiring full time people to work 40 hours even though the requirements for full time and benefits are X number of lines per pp.

If you work for someone other than MQ that lets you have this flexibility, PLEASE post the company. I only do this MT part time and need flexibility around my other job. TIA
Watch out. SBC just sent me a letter saying
they were switching me from unlimited LD to 10 cents a minute.  So I called and canceled my LD with them.  Back to onesuite.com for now.
Watch your back
Their ad says they want dependable MTs.  I didn't find the company to be that way myself.  You can do much better for yourself.
better watch what you post about them
here, they threatened to sue me.
watch they will not reply now lol nm

Watch Lou Dobbs on CNN. sm
He talks about offshoring, Americans losing jobs, how big companies use/abuse our Visa programs to get cheap workers, etc.

He's on every weekday on CNN. I watch his show about once a week. It's very enlighting. (I can't watch him every day though, it's too depressing...) ;o(
Goes to show you they do watch
the posts on here.
I would be if I did not watch what I eat and exercise. I said sm
that I am NOT naturally thin and have to WORK at it. Yes, it is the easy way out. You do not have to do anything, which is what made you gain weight in the first place.

I HAVE been heavy but I have too much self control and respect for my body to let it get out of hand.

You CHOOSE to be obese. Why should our country's insurance rates go up to pay for surgery to fix it? Cut back on what you eat, exercise regularly and you will surprised the sense of self-worth and satisfaction that comes from it.

I feel the same way about diseases from VOLUNTARY smoking and cirrhosis from alcoholism.

Yes. It is the LAZY way out.

Why should I butt out? I have to pay high rates because people are too lazy to help themselves.
Watch out RadGuy....
if they lose all their clients over this, they'll be putting ALL of us on your account! We'll each get like 1 job every 8 hours, and then you'll get a call from the Impact Center asking why you're not working your schedule! :-) I know, not funny...but I have a warped sense of humor:-)
No, you can't make it up but you can certainly watch CNN and know something is going on! NOT a
Yes they had an earthquake, either 5.2 or 5.8 on Richter scale. Big deal!! Saw it on CNN too! You all negators need to seriously get a life!
Not OP, but there IS a watch list - it is not...sm
published, however. See this link: http://www.watchfreeepisodes.com/fdic-watch-list-looking-for-the-fdic-banks-in-trouble-watch-list/860/

for explanation.
Transcenders - watch out.
We finally had enough work this weekend to keep busy, so now they will hire 100 more people to make sure this doesn't continue.  No one in their right mind would work there for a full time job.  It is fine to work part time to supplement another job, but don't depend on them for anything consistent.  
Thank you for the compliment! I will watch for your...
post on job seekers!
Do you watch Reba? Can you say MO-ron?
.
Watch out...Not good.
…This could be the manager. She do come on this board.
Watch out, MT pay cuts are next

I know there was some trashing of someone who posted on the Company Board about Editor pay cuts, but I know someone who knows an editor, and all the editors except the new ones got at least a 30 percent pay cut. MTs are next, and we are going to have to get by on less.


If you love Spheris and the indian companies, you're gonna love Acusis.


I agree, and also watch out for... (sm)
companies who post using a C-phone, but also have a platform they don't want to tell you about until after you are hired, and their testing is looonnnggg notes that is only in listen mode with the C-phone so you have no backspace control. So many things to waste an MT's time, which we do NOT get paid for.
IMO, I would never work without someone to watch (sm)
my kids (or at least work when they are asleep). I know a few people that do this with small kids, and it is really shocking to me. They leave their kids alone all day to watch t.v. or play alone with toys while they work.

I am not by any means an advocate of daycare (my children have never been), but daycare is a much better option than ignoring your children for hours at a time. I have an 18-month-old and a 3-year-old, and I never work unless they are sleeping or my husband is here to watch them. JMO
Watch out - KS LEAD to the rescue!
Please be careful on here because anyone who says anything bad against Keystrokes will have Jo or KS LEAD or I guess there are a few others, stating things like Wrong!  If they are so busy with new accounts, why do they constantly come on here to defend poor Keystrokes that are Meditech lovers.  LOL - I just have to laugh.   
If the company is Amphion, watch out! (sm)
I asked for acute care and was promised acute care (more $) but what I got was all clinic work, multiple clients, most not even over 1 minute dictations. I was disgusted. They still paid me for the acute care wages, though, because I was good. I left because of lack of work.

If it is Amphion, run.
Watch out selling them short...
you just might find another job which you think is better, and guess what, you've made a mistake and want to go back. By then you are stressed out and sorry for second-guessing. Take advice from someone who has been there and done that. Good luck whatever you decide to do, only hoping you save yourself grief. :)
Explain... what do u mean they watch ur every move? nm

Watch that first step off the horse. NM

thos companies better watch out because sm
That could really be thinly-veiled age discrimination. I'd sue them.
Don't you watch the Weather Channel....sm
For the past few years and especially now it's been the raining money season in India and the no work/drought season in the US!!! There is NO slow season in this country other than the little bit of time around the winter holidays. In almost 20 years in this business that's the Only time there was a lack of work, certainly not during the spring, summer, or fall! If you believe that nonsense that the work is low due to the season...well, boy do I have an investment deal for you! Buy property in India and work there as an MT..you'll be back on your feet in no time! The other thing taking our jobs from us in the invasion of VR....one by one accounts are disappearing from a typing pool because they're being switched to VR...and try doing some of those VR reports From the MTs in India and the Phillipines....YIKES!!! I was Very lucky to have found a good small company where I just type, no VR, no offshoring at all, and steady work...so I'll hang onto it for as long as it lasts. There are companies out there like mine, you just have to keep looking every day and hopefully you'll get lucky too! It took me over 6 months to find this one.
IT'S PROBABLY AN ALIEN INVASION, SO WATCH . SM
out for December 21, 1919 (LMAO0.
Watch my back..!?! I sure hate that feeling.

The "powers" that be watch this board so you will have a ton of TT MTs coming on here to say t
plenty of work, which will only make you feel worse like your being singled out, but I suspect this happy TT'ers are management. How else can you explain someone saying no work and then others saying how swamped they are. It happens all the time. Makes you wonder...
Correction. They do watch every move we make
And you cannot sign out more than once (for break) for your 15 minutes during your shift. You must work every minute during your shift and no break longer than 15 minutes. If not they will come to you and question you why you were not on. You have to have a pretty good answer or you will have to decide if you want the job or not. Regarding cherry picking there can be none, but on the other hand there does not have to be, if you get the ESLs you will get mostly all ESLs and it is your problem not theirs if you don't do ESLs 99% and with appropriate line count. None of this is mis-spoken it is the solid truth.
Watch out, this company is probably up for sale to Transcend.
Usual warning signs - lots of mls, low work.
Watch out for companies that do the tiered thing-

Only they called it leveling.  They leveled everyone the same, whether you had 2 months or 20 years of experience, everyone got the same lousy pay.

After reading your post, I think it is better I go and watch TV, no offence...nm

Definitely watch your back and your side and your front. The main one is still there

that stabs everyone in the back.  I left there a long time ago but so many have been used and stabbed.


 


The reason for the stabbing is TOTAL LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM.  When I was there, they had a wonderful QA staff. I worked QA on salary (not enough salary but on salary).  Many unethical things went on and many knew it, some didn't.  I could not work for a company that was that unethical with the backstabbing and the plans.  Many have left, many come, many gone.  I would not work for them for anything.  There are some companies out there that are good. This is NOT one of them.


there is no such thing as the FDIC Bank Watch List

I'd watch for press releases from SPi, that's how I learned about Cymed's acquisition
xx
I found Medrite to be slow -- would type and watch it try to catch up with me. sm

I went from 250-300 lph to 180-200 lph with it.  Plus it has this spy stuff (I called it), where if you are gone longer than such amount of time, when you come back, you have to say why you were gone (it has things to choose from).  I didn't care for it, but obviously some must.


 


Good luck! 


CindyMT: I would suggest you watch what you're posting. Unless you have proof
that you are being ripped off, which you don't, you are slandering the company. Do you really want to be doing that?
Watch your paycheck go down. Transcend does not pay the same line counts that MDI-MD paid.
nm
how are you supposed to work and watch your mail all the time to play a stupid contest?
Transcend cares only about the big pay for its managers and corporate people, nothing for its MTs. Pay used to be decent, is less than mediocre for that horrible editing platform we are forced to use. ROMs have nothing to do but yell at the MTs and invent first grade games to play. I would rather have had the $1.48 postage and $1.00 it cost for the mouse pad and strip calendar.

Remember the old days when Edix used to give the Drake and Drake drug book for MT week? That was when Edix was a good company, too.
