4 months notice for PTO - CT

Posted: Mar 17, 2014

Can someone please tell me how 4 MONTHS NOTICE is insufficient for PTO?! It would seem that as a manager your responsibility would be to assess and find coverage as required, and with that much advance notice you shouldn't have a terrible time doing that. Besides, it's not like my shift is the one that's always hard up for extra help. C'mon! Don't act like I've put you in a pickle, you have 4 months to figure out a simple 5-day solution.

You may now return to your previously scheduled coder arguments...

Did they lose track of your original request? - Yeah, what the...?

Sounds like you have "one of those" managers. My commiserations.

She's lost track of something... - CT

MModal is probably just thrilled this all took light off their financial woes and possible bankruptcy.

What, MModal went Bankrupt???? - This coding thing was pure genius

[ In Reply To ..]
What was it, 2 hours after the bankruptcy news they sent the coder email out.

Friend who still works at MModal stated this was ploy - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
for MM to look "diversified".

I truly wish all of you still there best of luck. I really do. Just please have a backup plan. Anyone approaching age of 62 should consider early retirement and possibly a parttime job.

LOL ya got admit, pure genious. It squashed - the bankruptcy info that was

[ In Reply To ..]
found and put out there rather quickly with the coder info and, yes, within hours of realizing the bankruptcy info was available on the net and had been discovered and posted all over this forum.

Yeah lets talk about MM going bankrupt again - mmtt

[ In Reply To ..]
miss that topic, it didn't last long..hmmm..a ploy by MM maybe.

Oh, yeah, right! A ploy by MM! - Sure

[ In Reply To ..]
Yeah, right, MM announced this to get a few anonymous employees in an online forum to stop gossiping about public corporate announcements.

Yeah - the coder

[ In Reply To ..]
program is probably a farce, all a distraction to get the talk away from the bankruptcy. Everyone who tested will conveniently not make the cut to 60..lol

Not yet. Just Bankruptcy protection - restructuring

[ In Reply To ..]
They are trying to reduce their debt and come up with a plan to not go into bankruptcy.

MModal going bankrupt - baffled

[ In Reply To ..]
There is an article in Wall Street Journal about this, perhaps this is why they are trying to get rid of a lot of people including myself (just before Thanksgiving). Perhaps they need people who can run and manage the business.

I KNOW I AM SO SICK OF HEARING ABOUT CODING!!!!!! - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
go to the coding board

Maybe you could propose a compelling new topic then. - If coding hurts your eyes so much.

[ In Reply To ..]
Personally I was sick of the bankruptcy talk, rumors, and MM bashing that preceded the coding discussions.

How could you get sick of the Bankruptcy talk? - It only lasted like 10 minutes

[ In Reply To ..]
and then the coding barrage began.

Hey, to me it's the MModal board and the coding program is for MModal MTs, I have no problem with it.

If I don't want to read it, I just skip it. If I want to post a new topic, I will post a new topic.

The control lies within you and only you.

If you were sick of the MM bashing - preceding the coding discussion

[ In Reply To ..]
you were on the wrong board to begin with. Funny how the former bashers turned into MM Lovers once the coding talk started. LOLOL

Well, myself = MM liker before, and MM liker after - News of the coding program.

[ In Reply To ..]
I don't know where people are getting that idea from that all of a sudden MM bashers are MM lovers. Just because the overall tone of the board might have turned a bit more positive towards MM? That is a bit of a leap. Here is your brand new Jump To Conclusions Mat!

I am just saying go to the coding board and talk there - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
why have that board then

Here is the hilarious part of your post - This thread was not about coding

[ In Reply To ..]
but it got turned into one by the people complaining about the coding posts.

LOL.

Winner! - CT

[ In Reply To ..]
Well, I did tell them to return to their coding arguments. They're excellent at following instructions.

I think - they all

[ In Reply To ..]
went to bed early so they can get ready to continually hit refresh on their email while waiting for the results for the next 3 days!

No it is 1 minute to midnight EST. Ready, set, go.... - NM

I have to say the stress level went down almost immediately. I went on to be a CNA and though physically harder work, there is room for growth financially and moving up into another position. Not so with Nuance. Growth potential at this place was zero-more like they try to keep you held down as much as possible. I loved transcription when I started 10 years ago, but this company made me dread even looking at my computer. Good luck to all those who are still here. Prayers for you as you struggle ...

the summer. I took a couple months to find a new job. When I did, unfortunately, the only thing out there was transcribing so, I reluctantly took the job. I was absolutely floored. They are without a doubt the best company I have ever worked for. They don't do off shoring or use MTs from India/in India. I just got a gift card in the mail from them! My boss is wonderful. I have issues with taking care of my husband and they never give me grief ...

except to get worse, so I don't regret leaving. My plan was to become an IC so that I could work my own days/hours, as I needed more flexibility to take care of my aging parents, but it turned out the few responses I received to the many resumes I sent out all wanted someone to work set days/hours too. I have done MT work my entire adult life and always thought I would do it until I retired because I found it interesting and challenging, but the profession has changed so much now that I hav ...

For months you have complained about NJA and other people logging on randomly and taking your work away. So MQ comes up with a system whereby this will no longer be allowed to happen -- and you are now complaining about it too ? The point here is to make sure that you will have work at your scheduled time without other people hopping on and doing it. Isn't that what you have been wanting ?You have been really spoiled by MQ if you are used to logging on 15 minutes lat ...

I am trying to get a group together to do something about this once and for all. New transcribers do your homework. If something seems too good to be true it ALWAYS is. They were the only company that would hire me right out of school with no MT experience and now I see why. If I had only Googled this company thi ...

Last summer, after being laid off from my hospital MT job due to cost cutting in our department, I went back to work in the office, working as a receptionist for a family practice. I was also transcribing the office notes and correspondence as well. At Christmas, we were told that the doctor had decided to sell his practice to the local hospital. We were promised raises and I particularly, because of my 20 years as an MT, was promised a position doing MT for the hospital. ...

However, I have a friend who is an MT and says that some of my speakers are really tough. She's been an MT for 10 years now and things usually come easy to her. Anyway, I'm concerned that if I don't get my lines up to where they need to be will they let me go? I'm working really hard to try to get my lines up and I ...

My friend I worked with from DSG before they got bought out my mmodal went to Nuance on an escription account and actually likes her job, plenty of work, good super.
