Really Bummed.....sm - smeeps

Posted: Aug 06, 2013

I left Nuance to go to Amphion and today, Amphion fired me. I was on their most difficult account with 73 pages of acct specs, tried as I may, could not get a qc score to pass. They're min was 98.8, mine was 98.64. Hopefully I can collect from the inhouse job I had last year. I'm beginning to think I wasted 12k on school for nothing. Be kind with any bashing, please. Although my income only supplemented the household, it was still very much needed to make ends meet.

Sorry to hear that...I'm still with Amphion - ???

Can you collect unemployment? Hopefully you can keep insurance thru the end of this month (since it should be paid ahead) and collect any unused PTO too. Good luck!

No bashing, only my sympathy to you. I know that Amphion is not the only opportunity out there, and I will hold a good thought that a new door will open for you soon.

No bashing here and I am truly sorry this happened to you. Hopefully if you are able to collect, you might be able to use some resources to retrain in a different field. Believe me, it can be done and I am living proof of that. Good luck to you!

Amphion was the WORST company I have EVER worked for - wheres_my_job

They did you a favor, firing you. Good riddance to ANY company that expects you to shovel through that amount of acc't specs, doesn't pay you for headers, pays you too little anyway, always running out of work so you have to be on a bazillion acct's.

The company is a TOTAL RIPOFF of its employees, and pays slave wages.

Don't look back. Look ahead. You've got brains and you can make a new life for yourself.

I wish you all the best.

Sign me,

Former sufferer at Amphion. PS I left MT'ing completely after that company. They are the WORST.

The one that deserves bashing is the company. - They didnt give you a chance to - sm

QC was outstanding in their comments and suggestions (which I followed). This past week I did so much better. Just not good enough for them. I would recommend them, seriously, I would.

Seems that there are just no more good companies out there anymore.

took away Kaiser insurance? Is is only happening to people in certain states? They are replacing it with with either United, Choice Plus POS, or HRA (whatever that is), but why do I just know those are going to either cost much more out of pocket and/or be worse in some way. Whenever they take something away, when is it EVER replaced by something better? For example, right now I pay about 160 per month (just me), have 20-dollar copays, 15-dollar generic meds with free ma ...

I just got this fabulous job with this company a few months back that is strictly straight typing. I have been an MT for over 20 years at this point. I took a job with a MTSO doing editing for a couple of years and think I lost my rhythm. My problem is is that my production is supposed to be 1200 lines per day (8 hour shift). I have awesome docs, plenty of mixed work, use a ton of templates, use IT, autotext and autocorrect for expanders, but still can't make it even close to 1200 on ...

Maybe it's the holiday season when everyone else seems so nice . . then we have MModal. Is anyone else as down as I am? They increased our insurance premiums, cut back the time we acrrue on PTO, not to mention the miserable pay. I asked for time off around Christmas, just got denied. Now I'm over my limit but the requests are closed!! Can't get answers cause everyone is so overworked or they're on their OWN time off! Feeling like something ...
