What's it take to get fired from this place? - mt


Posted: Sep 05, 2012

I made more money on UE than this job.  How can I get fired?  I try.  I disappeared w/out notice for 2 weeks.  No one said 1 word to me.  I don't always work my shift.  If i'm sick of it, I quit.  I never work overtime.   FIRE ME ALREADY. 

LOL. Beats me. sm - anon

I'm laughing at the fact that they did not note you were AWOL, not at your situation. This is really crazy. Here I am worried about being 10 minutes late for my shift, and you take 2 weeks off unnoticed.

No kidding! I figured I was fired for sure. s/m - mt

Decided to see if I could log back in and yep. Really laughed the day I approved my time sheet with only 4 hours for 2 weeks, and yet, not 1 word was said. I have never hated a place like I hate this one.

Unbelievable! - Thanks for letting us know!

I knew someone who disappeared for 2 YEARS, then - sat down to work again with no problem.

No one said a thing. Still an employee, program still worked, same accounts still there.

Any my company tells me I'll be fired if I make one single mistake. I've made quite a few since then, and no, haven't been fired yet, unfortunately.

I quit Transcend in good order, found out by accident - I was still an "employee" three years

later, tried signing on to an old account to see if I could--yep! Signed off just as quickly for obvious reasons without opening any reports, but...really! I've been wondering if that's still true since it's been acquired by Nuance, but I won't try to find out.

Op, I don't understan. What's the benefit in being fired since it disqualifies you from UI?

does not necessarily disqualify you. s/m - mt

Depends on the circumstances and whether or not the employer wants to "fight" it. Mine did not.

This was the reason I was fired: "Did not do enough difficult dictators."

Uh, how can someone tell me what's difficult to me and what's not????

The work came from a pool. Before the supervisor shows up, the night people cherry pick. There is a work order, but again, no one does it so all the admit notes from midnight, for example, are still there because they didn't like the dictator.

I did the work order. I did not have to send very many blanks to supervisor. I have been a MT for 30 years. I know my job.

I received the email at 3:15 p.m. The timestamp on the email was 8:30 a.m.

My power flcked off enough to mess up my computer. By the time I got back in and everything up, I was locked out of the system and then received the email. I had been with this company for 14 years. Nice, huh?

I received UE for 2 months until I took the first job offered to me, which sucks. The above is exactly what I told the UE office and I got my UE. I should have just sat back and collected it for the 16 weeks, but I'm in FL and there is no extension, so I took the first job offered to me. What a mistake that was.

Wow!, on the locking out. 14 years. Unbelievable. UI--most - people do not have a good enough reason. BTW,

here at Nuance, I too often now am getting dumped with someone's leavings. A couple of weeks ago 100 LPH for 4 hours, mixed editing and transcription of the worst stuff imaginable. I'm fast well above average and haven't done 100 LPH since I was a newbie. I have hung up on some of this stuff, too.

You should immediately call Transcend/Nuance - mt too

[ In Reply To ..]
technical support and have all of their software removed from your personal computer. Even though Transcend's support team should have contacted you as soon as you quit to remove all of their software, you should know that the right thing to do is to call and have this taken care of ASAP. I would not think many transcriptionists would feel comfortable having access to a company's sensitive software when their employment ended three years ago.

RU kidding? - Wow!

[ In Reply To ..]
Now this pisses me off. This really shows how Nuance does not care about their employees if they did not notice you were gone. I BARELY ever get reply emails from my TL too. Upper management is not doing their jobs. ALl they care about is the dollar sign. I CANNOT WAIT TO QUIT THIS PLACE!

I kid you not. No one called or emailed to see where I was. s/m - mt

[ In Reply To ..]
So when I quit, guess what - no notice. They won't miss me anyway - lol.

lines and QA - newmag

[ In Reply To ..]
Just out of curiosity, what does Nuisance require for an hourly line count on VR and what is their QA standard, percentage-wise. Are they paying 4 cents a line for VR?

I think I will disappear the last 2 weeks of September - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
Right now my QA score is 99.2%. If I don't work the last 2 weeks of the quarter, they can't deliberately fail me those last 2 weeks (which I am convinced they do).

Got Fired From The Q - Ha Ha
Feb 24, 2010

Well, I was officially fired yesterday.  Up until last summer, I was one of their top producers, never having an accuracy problem.  The reason I got fired?  I got sick. Early last summer, I let a UTI go for 10 days (lived off Rx strength OTC Pyridium) until I was severely septic and urinating almost pure blood and clots.  I also had a kidney infection, kidney stones and bladder stones.  Thought it was over.  IIRC, the urinary organism was proteus mirabilis.  I ...


Getting Fired

Isn't it odd that being fired from MQ isn't a disgrace?  Being fired from any other place would be total humiliation, but I don't think anybody here would ever look down on another MT who was let go.  MQ doesn't discriminate.  They justly fire bad MTs, but they also fire good MTs who are stuck with crummy accounts, accounts that constantly have NJA, and probably a ton of reasons that are beyond our control.  ...

I was hired by company initials "P" under the conditions that my computer meet their specifications.  I was told my computer met their specification and then offered employment.  I accepted. Their technicians worked on my computer for 2 weeks straight and installed faulty software, and then I was told my system would not meet their specifications and I needed to have my computer XP deleted and reinstalled or buy a new computer.  I had my computer checked out and was told my c ...

I was fired. I started with Medquist in 1998. They fired me in 1997. I was hired and Spheris and became a Medquist employee after they bought Spheris. I was fired again today. I just hope Medquist eventually stabilizes and the employees are happy again. I hope I find something suitable for me. I wish the best for all. It's been one hell of a bumpy and uneven ride. Bon voyage to me!!! ...

If I do not show up to work will I be let go? I know this seems ridiculous to be asking, but hey, these large do-not-care-a-bit-about-you companies bring out the worst in some of us.  This one is definitely the worse company I have ever worked for, and it shames me to have to work ...

So I Wonder If I Will Be Fired Or WHAT....just Do It Already Then

So I've been going back and forth since the beginning of this "safety pay plan" getting around 99.5% to 100% for 2 weeks then falling off the grid at 98% (and once much lower), back on the grid, back off.  I guess one week I'm an excellent MT and the next I totally suck.  I am just so stressed thinking they are going to fire me.  I am sure it would be a blessing in disguise if they did, but I'm not ready yet. I am my sole source of income and I'd mostly likel ...


Fired For Low QA Scores : )
Oct 15, 2009

I am a medical transcriptionist with over 15 years of experience, and I was fired today for low audit scores.  I don't know why I am happy about this.  I guess I am just relieved to get away from a company that picks apart their employees.  What are they going to do when there is no one left?  Ironically, I have worked in many big hospitals and while our reports were reviewed, this would have never happened working in a hospital.  Does anyone know what is happening ...

I have been targeted like crazy on audits, getting them every couple of days, and albeit there are some things I did wrong (had/has), I am getting marked for stuff like leaving a blank, sending to QA, and then marked wrong for the blank on a critical error saying I should have been able to find this.  I could not hear it, so how could I find it?  I should have just sent it to the client, but really felt that a fresh set of ears might heart what this mushmouth was saying. I guess I am ...

FIRED FOR MOVING
Sep 02, 2010

I was recently fired from my MT position because I moved to a different state. I was a full-time employee. I was never informed of such a policy and had actually moved to this state a few years ago when working with the same company. This was apparently a new policy they had come up several months ago. The kicker is that I informed my supervisor of my move and even provided my address and nothing was said until I moved. ...

Fired Today.

Well, I was up and fired in the middle of my work day today.  The reason - I didn't do ENOUGH difficult dictators.   Seriously?  I have been doing this for 30 years, 13 years at this company, which has been having financial problems for the past 5 years.  Outsourcing work to keep costs down, cutting all benefits among a few, and losing the majority of their accounts. I believe they are weeding out long-time employees to cut costs since we were still paid on a scale. &nb ...
