Contacting former employer - Maxs mom
Posted: Jul 09, 2012
Has anyone ever contacted a former employer to see if they would re-hire you? Reason I am asking is, I was working with this MT company, but had to quit because something happened to my computer and my back-up didn't have the specifications required to run the software they use. It's been about 4 months since I've quit, and I have a new computer now that would work with what they offer. I am hesitant to ask to see if they would consider re-hiring me because when I quit, even though I sent them a nice e-mail explaining the reason why I could no longer work for them, I never received a e-mail acknowledging my leaving. I never knew if they were mad at me or not for not giving enough notice????
The company I currently work for has run of work for the past 2 weeks and I am sitting here doing nothing but housechores. Former company was halfway decent, pay on time, work not too hard, etc. I kind of wanted to see if I could work for them again and keep my current job as a part-time gig.
TIA for any help/advice you can give.

[ In Reply To ..]Why not, you had a legit excuse, its been fixed, the worst that will happen is they say no. Good luck!
Yes, I have done this. - anon
[ In Reply To ..]Just send them an e-mail, it isn't going to hurt to ask them.
Why not try? All they can do is say no - Good luck! (nm)

Thank you - Maxs mom
[ In Reply To ..]...for your encouragement. Think I will go ahead and do just that.

[ In Reply To ..]did this myself! I left in good standing, and simply asked if they had any openins. She was thrilled to get me back and put me back on my same account, and training and start up were very easy for both of us. Ask! Can't hurt to ask! Good luck.

[ In Reply To ..]Contact your former employer and tell them exactly what you have written in your post here. They likely will hire you back, especially if you had to quit due to computer compatibility issues and the like. Get in touch with them.
I did - Maxs mom
[ In Reply To ..]I took everyone's advice and sent her an email last night. She said she was interested in rehiring me and wants me to call her today.
Thanks again!

Quality 2.0 - Who Is Contacting Them
Oct 02, 2014
At the end of the Quality 2.0 presentation, she says that we can contact her (yet doesn't give contact info) with "any questions, comments, or concerns." They are "looking forward to our feedback." How many of us are actually going to contact them and tell them what a crock this is? Something that was glaringly missing from the presentation was how they expect us to decrease these errors. Do they not realize that the majority of those lab value and vital sign errors aren& ...

Last pay check, I did not receive the PTO I requested in SS and was granted by my CCM. I contacted payroll immediately. Mind you, this happened to me once before. It took 1 email and 1 phone call and I had a check the very next day. It is now a week later. I have been around and around with payroll and my CCM. FINALLY, yesterday, I get an email that they owe me the PTO and will add it onto MY NEXT CHECK. I don't think so. That is money that I earned and am entitl ...

This lady might get interested in the MT vs MTSO greed issue if enough people contact her.

I asked for new account with different platform, asked for them to restore my computer to its orginal state, ...
If Your Employer Doesn't Pay You.....
May 05, 2010
Only using an employer as an example - my personal example - but my idea is applicable to all the others I have read about on this site Not long ago, I posted a rant about Siance not paying me. I turned them in to the Labor Board. They were given a deadline to pay me, but it could take that Dept up to 6 months or longer to get my money. I thought...HMMM...I HAVE BILLS TODAY - NOT IN 6 MONTHS MAN! So...I filed unemployment against Saince. They did a pho ...

Check with the BBB. They shouldn't just have NO activity, but be part of the ongoing audit, not just boast they have had NO activity. Heck, I have had no activity!!! It is only as good as what is submitted. You may have been in business 10+ years but screwed people over 5+ years of that time. If no one reports you, the activity continues.... Watch RIPOFF reports. They do not lie. Unfortunately, not enough people file these reports so some of us are ...
Tell The Potential 2nd Employer About The 1st?
Sep 20, 2011
Took me quite awhile to figure this out. You need 2 MT jobs because they all overhire to keep many more employees less busy to pay less. In my day, you kept your 2nd job quiet, but what is the way to do it now? Is it good or bad to be looking for a 2nd part-time job, do you tell them. Is there anyone who left the first job to go full time with the 2nd one or switched them? And is it better to go IC in the 2nd job because of flexibility? I sound pretty dumb! ...

Dear Prospective Employer,
Nov 24, 2011
Dear Prospective Employer, It would have been great if you had specified in your ad whether the opening was on-site or if it was available to telecommuters. If it is not available to telecommuters, then I just wasted over an hour of my time and your HR department has a unqualified application to process. It would have been great if your HR department had done a trial run through your online application to get the bugs out of it. It would have been great if you had not designe ...

If An Employer Interviewing You Asked For Your
Mar 25, 2012
This story has been popping up in the news lately, and I find it very distressing! How low will a company stoop to find a way to practice hiring discrimination? Imagine yourself interviewing in an office or on the phone, and they ask if you use Facebook, Twitter, etc., and request you to hand over your password! Would you do it? I sure hope not! Most likely I would lose my cool and laugh in their faces, but still no way would I ever do that. WHAT an invasion ...

I work as an IC for a multispeciality clinic. To make a long story short, she told us on the 1st the physicians are only allowed about 2000 lines a month and after that they will be charged. They are pushing the physicians to use an automated system. She says that will decrease our workload significantly and she strongly urges us to pursue over avenues for employment. I have not done hospital transcription since 2008. I talked to my friend who works for a local ...

Isnt It Illegal For A Potential Employer To Ask Your Age?
Nov 16, 2009
Have any of you had the feeling you weren't getting callbacks from employers you applied with because of your age? I've been getting that feeling, and I thought that discrimination based on age, among other things, was illegal. So of course, the answer would be to just not fill in your date of birth, right? Well, lately I've applied at a few places where the ONLY way to apply was online. I had actually called them because I wanted to either come in and fill out ...

Then I see an email to all employees that says, "please consider changing your schedule to work a weekend day." WTF? There are people not already working a weekend day? That makes me feel pretty stupid for all the ...
My Employer Is Moving From Trans To MQ's VR Platform
Oct 05, 2011
My employer use MedQuist’s DocQScribe software and is moving us all onto its VR. So far, what we’re seeing from the VR is almost completely garbage, but MedQuist claims that our corrections will “teach” the VR to recognize our dictators’ speech patterns. Of course, our wages are being renegotiated, as well. We have about three dozen MTs and I think a few hundred dictators. So far, it takes me about 25% longer to correct this VR trash than it ...
