Exactly why I gave no notice - ex-MDI/Transcender


Posted: Apr 25, 2010

I read the post below from the MDI/Transcend MT who is struggling with BeyondTXT.  When I was informed last week that this platform was going to be installed on my computer in a day or so and then training would take place for God knows how long, I  hung up during the conference call and immediately resigned.  I had started another job, which I was going to give a trial period before leaving Transcend, but I realized that taking the time and effort to learn this unfriendly user platform would actually jeopardize my new job.  I had to train on the new company's platform, which is very nice, but still new to me. To try and do both, plus concentrate on acheiving good QA scores for the new position, would have made me a nervous wreck!  Besides, what would that achieve? Learn BeyondTXT to just use it long enough to give notice?  From what I have read, in the past and now, about this platform, I am so very happy that I jumped ship right then and there. 

Then comes VR! Talk about adding insult to injury!  No thank you! I was already starving at Transcend.  Next step was the bread line. 

Bayscribe was the best!  But then again, so was MDI.  Now they are both history and faster than we all expected, things are quickly starting to crumble.

I feel so badly for the MTs from MDI who are still struggling at Transcend.  Take it from me, there are still nice companies out there.  Go for the smaller one like I did.  Believe it or not, they still care about our profession and the MTs they employ.  Wishing you all good luck in finding a good company like I finally did. 

 

Question for ex-MDI/Transcender - Curious about your account going to BeyondTxt

[ In Reply To ..]
If you feel comfortable, I am curious to know which Bayscribe account went to BeyondTxt - know we can't discuss accounts here, not sure even an initial is kosher. Maybe you could reply by mail. If not, no big deal! Thanks.

I quit right after the first conference call telling us of the merger. My instinct told me that no good could come from this, and I always listen to my gut feelings. Like you, I found a wonderful job with a smaller company where I am actually a person. (And the company I work for does not sell out American MTs by offshoring, either.) MDI died, and I am really sorry about it and sorry for the MTs still with the MDI/Transcend thing. But I congratulate you on your move and I want others out there to know that there ARE good jobs. It might take a little looking, but they are there. Good luck.

Gave Notice To The Q
Dec 14, 2010

Hi all.  I've been doing medical transcription for over 20 years, and have been with the Q for almost 12 years (the first year in the office and at home, and then they sent us all home).  Been through all kinds of changes, from working in the local office and at home, to working at home, to being moved to the responsibility of another office, to that office closing down, then to working for a "virtual office" and finally a "service area."  I lost count of how many superv ...

I thought I found a good company to work for until I got a two returned checks from them in the mail. The first time I thought mistakes can be made but AGAIN my check was returned. That really upsets me because I work hard for this company and they give me a bad check. There is no excuse for doing this to an employee. I have not been contacted about this check and I just quit because enough is enough. This is very dishonest and unprofessional to say the least. I have a family to take care ...
