My employers response? Crickets...nada...nothing. Not even an acknowledgement that I was leaving. Seems strange, don't you think?

You should send her an - SM

automated email card. Something like frogs in tophats and canes singing something like "It's been nice to work for you, really much fun. But I gotta go now, gotta run." Wonder if that would get a response?

I did that once and didn't hear anything until - E

Day 14 of my 2 week notice. They wanted to know what they could do to keep me. I had already accepted another job.

LOL - xxx

The e-card sounds cool. Might have to try that. Can't imagine companies waiting until day 14 to discuss it.

I was fortunate enough to get a scholarship that will pay me a monthly stipend so I can go to school full time and not have to work so much. I am keeping an IC job, 12 hours per week, that I really like. This other one, though, has been pure slog, and the pay has been mediocre at best.

question for you - sm

Where did you find this scholorship that pays a monthly stipend? Please email me any info you have on this. I am so desperate to get out of MT and get back to school, I just cant afford to not work full time. :(

Please email me too!!! - mt

I can't afford to stop working full-time but so want out of this field. I can't even afford 1 year of school, have already lost my house.

please mail me also with the info - would really appeciate it.nm

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 pl ...

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 ...

Just gave my notice! Working for the Q was just too stressful! Pay was crap, hours were crap. I couldn't take it anymore! I went from an awesome job making about 25 bucks an hour with great hours to the Q? My other company closed down (it was local) thanks to EMR. I must have been desperate. Just accepted another job for better pay and better hours.. ...

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 ...

and I made a whopping $7/hour. They gave me a physician that, obviously, no one wants. Lots of work on the system from him. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr. I still have private clients and can make $7 in about 10 minutes. It's infuriating, but I need the extra $$....if that's what you can call it. I also got some crazy QA corrections. One says one thing and another person says another. Not sure what to do about that. In my opinion, consistency within a c ...

I felt confident in myself when I walked into test. Felt prepared, however I walked out feeling dejected and not sure if I even passed. I seriously do not know how I did. I did well on most sections, but I took the advice of other past testers... skipped over the more challenging scenario/questions (And I am glad I did, as I would not have answered the easier ones at the end of the test booklet had I spent time on the harder ones) My plan was to go ...

Yes, I gave a 2 week notice. I didn't work a lot during those 2 weeks because my primary account was low, or out, of work and it just didn't feel right to take jobs away from someone else on my team. I have to say this......my team lead, my prior team lead, and their manager were very good to me. I realize that they have higher managers too and they are required to follow the rules that are put upon them. There lies the problem. The higher ups. I've ...

Just curious if MQ is going to try to ignore yesterday's DocQscribe crash. My CCM is on vacation so I just put an alert on my timecard. The RTL told me that it was not an alert and deleted my note. So downtime or not? I guess I will just be short this week because I am not making up hours or taking PTO when their stupid system crashes and MQ refuses to own up to it. Thats what they get for having us all upgrade at the same time. ...

Not one (1) typed report yesterday all day. Then got an audit back with a low score, very, very picky. A couple of careless things, my fault, trying to get in enough editing lines to make a living and rushing. Guess I need to slow down even more.... Thinking about looking into a receptionist position at a doctor's office near me. I figure with my age and number of years I have just been doing MT I might not be employable in the outside world, but will give it a ...

Yesterday, my downtime started with an ADT lookup for an attending when it said "database not available" and today, it's doing the same dang thing, just started about 3 minutes ago. Is this happening to anyone else? I hesitate to keep working because yesterday, I never got the job back that I was in the middle of when it crashed. Argh! ...

When I started out MT years back I transcribed for the local hospital ER docs group. I loved it, but moved on when work dwindled down. A friend works for the group of hospitals in management so I asked who was doing the ER transcription now, I wanted to apply. I was told the hospitals in this area have started using scribes and are slowly doing away with MTs altogether. The exact same thing my new GP doc told me a year ago. Not sure how much longer we are going to be around people, be prepar ...

I was a patient in a local ER yesterday and had the nicest British physician. I was directly across from central and was able to hear this physician dictate. Clear, concise, perfect speed, a dream to transcribe. The downside is the hospital uses Epic only - no editing by human hands (and ears) at all. Why oh why can't us humans have dictators like this? ...

We were out of TAT once last week and since then if there are more than 2 (well maybe I am exaggerating here) jobs in the pools they open up OT. Everyone needs to make money, so of course many of us come in and work. Understandable. But TSMs need to cut it off at some point so we don't wind up with nothing in the morning and slow, slow, slow to build up during the day once it is cleaned out at night. They want you to come back in early afternoon and make up ...
