Promised work, but didn't deliver - frustrated


Posted: Sep 17, 2014

I recently started working for a urologist who in the ad said that work would be daily, Mon-Fri two hours worth and they would be paying by the hour for it.  I thought that would fit in great with my schedule.  Well a few months later and I get work once or twice a week and they tell me how long it should take (in other words how much they are willing to pay).  My last invoice was for about 150.00 for a month.  It does not take me long to do it, but I'm not happy that they promised one thing and I am not getting that.  I'm thinking about cancelling the IC contract.  It just does not seem worth it to me.  What do you think?

An extra $150 or so...SM - Old Anon

a month for work that does not take you too long is a gift. I would keep it unless I had another firm offer where I could make more and then I might even keep both accounts. I'm a firm believer in never keeping all your eggs in one basket. So you are unhappy about them not following through on their promise, try to let that go and laugh all the way to the bank to deposit your $150 check.

I would be grateful for the $150 a month - BUT

would also ask them about the lack of work vs what was promised.

DSG Has Done What They Promised They Would NEVER DO!
Feb 07, 2012

Well, here we go again.....DSG has done exactly what I was promised, when I went to work for them almost seven years ago, that they would never do.....sell out to MQ or MModal, whatever their name is.  I left MQ for a reason....because they are an awful company to work for and could care less about their employees.  Promised work is not there....no one is ever available to help when you need it and if you complain they put a thumb down on you about your production or your accuracy and ...


Post Below Says Program Might Not Pan Out As Promised.
Mar 15, 2014

hasn't been much promised at all.  All we know is training will be intensive, if you leave the program you have to pay back MM an unknown amt, and you have to work for them for 2 years at unknown pay. The promises I see there are nothing to write home about.  It is the unknowns, when answered, that will help me decide if this is what I want to do.  And I agree with another poster, I will watchly closely what happens with this first group.  Which brings to mind, if anyon ...


They Promised They Would Fix The Speech Wreck.
May 23, 2014

We were supposed to provide 3 job numbers with examples of the same errors being made over and over again. Well, I did just that with numerous jobs because of numerous errors. Not one stinking thing has been done. Does this mean my TSM was just whistling Dixie and blowing smoke and did nothing about the information I provided, or does it mean the ASR technicians were whistling Dixie, blowing smoking and did nothing? Why is no one held accountable for the mess that is called Nuance? ...


Anyone Laid Off From Diskriter Not Get The Promised PTO?
Mar 19, 2015

When I was laid off in November, Diskriter said they would pay all PTO earned up to that point.  They only paid half of what they owed me.  They will not respond to emails, phone calls or letters. Has anyone else had this issue? They have really sunk to the bottom of the barrel into the sewer! ...

Why Didn't I Get Hired?
Aug 27, 2012

I have been a MT for 30 yrs. I had to stop working 4 yrs ago due to health issues, then finally had 2 surgeries which pretty much took care of the problem. While I was out on disability I got a grant, went back to an AHDI approved University and took refresher courses in MT fulltime for a year. Now, I'm ready to get back to work. I submitted a resume to M-Modal last week and just read they are not considering me. Is there a way to find out why? I'm a good transcriptionist and I want to ...

It's just all I can do to sit here and type these boring reports.  Been doing it for 33 years so please, no comments about how I should have investigated it before I got into it.  I loved it when it was inhouse.  Been home now since 1999 and I'm just so freaking bored.  Stop every 5 minutes just to surf the internet or check my email.  I cannot keep my mind on this mind-numbing job. I'm about to start a coding class, but I'm not terribly optimistic t ...


I Didn't Want A Membership To AHDI.
Apr 22, 2010

But now I automatically have one?  Even if I don't register, AHDI now has my home address (we JUST moved here a week ago, so they got it directly from MQ).  They have my MQ email address (they keep sending me emails). I feel this is a huge violation of my privacy.  I didn't want this stupid membership in the first place, and for MQ to give out my information like that just doesn't seem right at all!   Peed off. ...

Didn't Get Around To Asking Supervisor About Pay Schedule...
Mar 04, 2013

I will have to remember to do that tomorrow. Would anyone care to share the next paydate and when this pay period ends? Thank you in advance! I do have to say having worked for Nuance previously they have MModal beat on providing info to employees. When I hired on with Nuance I got so much paperwork sent to me with info of every kind that there was not one question I could think of that was not covered. That has been a few years back so don't know if they still do that but that was ...

You Didn't Say What Your Work Hours Are.
Jun 24, 2014

working 2 to 10 p.m. and bed by 11 or 11:30. I usually get up very early, 5 to 6 a.m., do at least an hour of hard exercise plus other hobbies, and try to nap (about 15-20 minutes) before I start work. Otherwise this job is so boring, I can hardly keep my head up after about 2 hours into it.   ...


LANDESK Didn't Install It
Oct 08, 2014

I'm not sure, but it seems to me that this whole issue came around about a year ago, telling us we must install it, and upon looking into it, it was my impression that it would allow MM to track everywhere we go on our computers, so I didn't install it.  I asked for a company computer, and the matter was eventually dropped until now.  I don't know what to do.  ...

The first report I tried this with, I was able to copy into a Word document.  The second tiime I tried to cut and paste, the first report kept showing up.  The third time I tried it, the first report copied over the report I had just transcribed and I lost the transcribed report and had to do it all over again.  What am I doing wrong.  Like some of you, I'm being sooooo careful, going over my reports twice before sending them in, and they're coming back with a bunch ...

Saturdays are usually the busiest day so this doesn't bode well.  I guess this just gives me time to test for a company that just emailed me yesterday.  There has to be something out there better than this.   If my other 2 jobs had enough work for me to go full time I would do it in a heartbeat, but they, unlike this miserable excuse for a company (SoftScript), do NOT overhire so I am just thankful I have the part-time work with them.  Guess tonight it is ice ...
