Posted: Nov 15, 2012

Another perk of working for MModal, daily email threats of termination. Wonderful for morale.

really what do they say? - downtime

Daily Termination Threats - prissy

[ In Reply To ..]
Directed to everyone, saying that if one error on an account, MT will be initiated into performance management with a verbal warning (first offense) which will be documented on the MT's personnel file. Second offense will warrant a written warning, also documented on the MT's personnel file, and the third offense will warrant termination.

These emails are a daily occurrence and everyone probably ignores them by now, but how can they expect people to want to do a good job when being threatened with termination constantly?

Oh...your TSM must have nothing - better to do, maybe she

has a shorthand entry with that. It is bad enough they pay sweat shop wages, but then they expect everyone to be perfect all the time. Last time I checked we were all still human (I think I am although not sure anymore). Pay better production wages or hourly and perhaps then they might get perfect because we would not be sooo stressed about how they are going to make ends meet and we could relax a little to do a better job!!!!!! It is sad that we are responsible for such important information as patient care, yet, people at McDonald's are probably making more money. Happy employees make better employees in all ways. Heck we might all produce more and be able to make more money without a hammer hanging overhead waiting for it to fall. What a joke!!!! Thank god for Ativan!!!

That is example of grown-up bullying. I doubt Vern would - approve of those tactics. Amy, either. nm

one error? - but then

If she's sending these out every day and no one has been terminated yet, they can't mean much.

daily threats - fed up

Don't worry about it,she sends those to me too as I know we have the came manager. She is a psycho and has nothing else to do. I really don't care if I get fired. I am about ready to quit but my DH wants me to hang on. so fed up with this place and especially her. I wish she would get the ax

Daily Threats fedup - prissy

[ In Reply To ..]
I know she is a psycho. I'm just hanging in there as you are so that if fired, I can collect unemployment. I actually told her I didn't care one day, do what you have to do, and nothing happened. Now that I don't care anymore, they'll probably keep me forever!

I believe you. - suze

Can you tell us any more than that? I am well aware that they have certain people targetted.

Please let them fire me - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
Just put me down like a dog so this misery will end.

I am so digusted with this place. I am at the point I would reply, "fire me if you - are going to fire me, but SM

this is workplace bullying and there are laws about it."

Then I would cc everyone in line above my ccm. Now, I do have a second job and would be financially able to do this. Maybe we should all get a second job, just so we dont have to take all the bullying.

Once again, we get another e-mail notice that if we make a mistake of any sort we will not be paid for an entire report.

They do not pull X amount of reports per a specified time frame and perform a QA audit. One has no idea how they would rate you on a proper QA score. They do have have a rating per pay period for work that includes what must be sent ...

Well finally the game has ended. I was informed by my TL last evening that Transcend thought it was best that we part ways. She stated I was putting hardly any hours in during my "scheduled hours" while there was work available to me (what a joke). She tried to paint a picture that there was work available to me over the last pay period, but I was not working any hours and basically it was my fault. My response to her was unfortunately every time I l ...

Has anyone ventured towards anything like this? I feel VERY strongly that I was wrongly terminated, but I really do NOT want to work for the company anyway, but with no income, I am not sure what to do. I do not like the fact of them getting away with what they have done either... Anyone gone down this route or had any thoughts of it? I do not want to ruin future chances of me getting employment and wondering if this would lean towards that if I decided to proceed. I've never ...

Just curious because I did see the ad that SOAP had posted and maybe I missed it, but I did not see anything in the ad about them supplying the computer. I had a similar situation with using my personal computer to look stuff up on and the company computer for company stuff, but I have to agree, that it was a bit harsh on their part. I was just wondering why you were supplied a computer, if there was no need to use one of theirs. ...

My QA score has always run about 12% (SS requires 8% or less to QA) since i started. My trainer told me I had a very difficult account and not to worry. Since then they hired a new producion manager and the percent to QA has apparently become an issue. I generally get 99% to 100% on my QA score and an email thanking me for the great job (automatically sent, I know). Today I got an email threatening termination if my score did not comply with the 8% by the next pay period. I know it c ...

GRRRRR!!!! Just venting about this company and their lack of communication and not paying in a timely manner. Last week, I did approximately 4-5 jobs for them. One was EXTREMELY difficult and probably the job that got me termated. Pay was supposed to be in today via Paypal. Called the office and spoke to "M," whom of course, gave me the same "song and dance" that he pretty much just handled clients. Sent an email to tech support, trying to get answers to no av ...

People are being terminated without warning at M Modal, according to the board here. People are being picked on at Nuance even more than usual by QC and supervisors. These are the 2 biggest employers in the industry. Why this now? And most people only make minimum wage. There can't be such a big economic reason for firing people who are paid so low with this kind of technical skill. What is going on here... and why... thinking aloud, but ideas would be ap ...

It's hard to believe we have had to put up with these kind of antics for so long. It's stressful to read them even as a former employee! But I f ...

Hi! I was hoping for a little input. I have been with Mmodal/Medquist/Spheris since 2005. They have the new quality standards which seem to be out of reach for me. They want us to be at an unreasonable 99.7. Even today, received last week's audit scores and one was 100% the other at 98.75. I am on my 3rd corrective action for this and know I am at close to the end of my rope. I actually would like to go back to school. Has anyone been unintentionall ...
