So do you think they will fire me? LOL - mecmt

Posted: Aug 14, 2011

So I am supposed to be working right now..I gave my notice last week that I would be done on August 17th, but I unfortunately am just not feeling the need to finish out the week. I am leaving because I am unhappy (like many at MQ are)..I have a new job starting on the 23rd with better pay and better hours and I can't wait! I was looking at my jobs for the last 4 weeks and have noticed I have a 99% (I forgot the word "about") on an audit and a 98.75% on an audit, with just 2 corrections (fricken foreign docs!) so I am sure I will be under the required 99% and thus they will start docking my pay per line so I said "why should I sit here and work for 5 cpl?"

Nah - Shipwrecked

Fire you and risk having to pay you unempoyment? Nah, they'll just let you fade away!

Good luck with the new job.

3 months from now, they will notice you're not working - and then fire you nm

Tendered my resignation in July, never got a reply, then received a termination letter in October.

This is only my opinion and no judgement whatsoever. I know that working for MQ has been a downward spiral for everyone (me included, when I worked for them). However, in my life experience, I've always felt it is best to not burn any bridges, as tempting as it may be. When my daughter was a teenager and wanted to quit going to a job a couple of days early after she had given a 2-week notice, I told her that she had given her word for said 2-week notice and that, as a reliable employee and human being, she should keep her word, no matter what. One just never knows...

But, that is just my opinion. I truly understand the desire to just toss the company to the wind and move forward, but I feel one's word is one's bond, regardless if the company hasn't been ethical, and if one doesn't have that, there isn't much else. But, that's just me. Again, no judgement on whatever you decide to do. :)

agree - thank you

People are not taught this anymore and I am not sure why, but I agree and thank you for posting that.

Yeah I think I burned a bridge with my old in-house - job when I started with the Q

[ In Reply To ..]
I applied back there last year and didn't get the job -- that I had done for 15 years and was pretty much the best in the department. Best not to burn any bridge in my opinion either.

I do agree to a point - mecmt

I do agree with you, this is actually something I just instilled in my son who hated his job and I told him he wasn't allowed to quit until he found another one..He found another job and actually started today but I had told him he had to work at the other one until his new one started..it is so hard to take our own advice sometimes! LOL...I actually really don't care if I burn this bridge to a point because I am pretty sure I will never work for them again, but me being the nice person I am worked 5 out of my 6 hour shift and made the other one up this morning..I hate being the one with morals sometimes..but I also don't like working somewhere where I am so unhappy my husband doesn't even want to be around me.

Fire you? - So glad not MQ hack

Who cares, get the heck outta there. That company sounds like a complete nightmare! All I hear is complaints and valid ones! They seem to take advantage of the employees and play the QA against the MT, creating even a more distressing atmosphere. You should all quit them. There are much much better companies out there, I know. just be tenacious!

After almost 10 years of working at home and in house doing MT, and the last 3 at Nuance, I have decided to take a coding course. I am so demoralized w/Nuance. Lost my bonus (and I have not gotten sloppy and careless in my time there) and then they made it more difficult to get a bonus; the crummy health insurance, the VR is a joke ("can be twice as fast as typing," but we are absolutely paid 1/2 what we are paid for typing), the offshoring, the drs on cell phones, the horrible ESLs. ...

I was working on an account for the last 5 years and was averaging in ASR lines at 329-340 an hour with 100% audits. Then the work got slow and I was moved to another manager and another new account. Now my average ASR lines are around 170-180 an hour with 100% audits. At 175 ASR line rate an hour and being part-time, that is 175 x 0.4 a line which comes to 7.00 an hour. For part-timers, I was told you have to be at 120 lines an hour and I am still a Tier 1. My s ...

I can't pass an audit to save my life...I figure any day now I'll receive a call telling me to log out, even though I've not finished the report I'm on, and I'll be fired. I'm so sick of feeling like I'm doing my best, only to find out that this little error, or that little error (spacing or period or comma, among others) causes a 0.25 point drop and those puppies add up. I think 99.5 is an unreasonable level and I'm sick and tired of feeling w ...

I watched a documentary on this fire the other night and mentioned to my SO how it reminded me of being an MT for Nuance. It seems like sooner or later something very bad is going to happen. I know it's reaching, but think of the similarities; they were all women, they worked long hours, weekends, made crappy pay and were skilled at what they do, and yet... "Although the floor had a number of exits, including two freight elevators, a fire escape, and stairways down to Greene St ...

workflow changes due to a large account being lost (wasn't my primary). Wondered why all of a sudden I was off my primary and getting mostly this account. Of course, they didn't know it was leaving until it disappeared. I'd probably have a heart attack if I every heard the truth. Never know what hospital is going to show up in the queve, more longer transcription jobs, ASR jobs that have to be typed because the ASR does not match up, some horrible dict ...

I have never been more motivated to get away from this company. Did you know there are other places to work?? I know - I forget that too sometimes!! When I tell the people in my life what happens to me at work, they are in disbelief. "What company is this??!!" they say. "My God - what in the world - I would never let anyone keep me shackeled to my computer all day!!" said another. "So let me get this straight, when you 'run out of work,' you have to keep checking back...lik ...
