Do they dump you when you turn in notice? - sm
Posted: Nov 29, 2009
I want to give proper notice, but have heard some companies just cut off your work supply immediately. MQ do this?
Unfortunately, they let me work the entire 2 weeks. - ;)

I use the term 'work' loosely as it was mostly NJA anyway.

What a hoot!! I was scared of the same thing but as it turns out, I haven't worked for them since the beginning of September but I still get email and snail mail from them - even got a call from CCM wanting to know if I could hop on and help out one weekend. When I reminded her I had quit, you could tell she was embarrassed and told me to just have a nice day! They'll keep giving you work as long as you keep logging in!
There was such a loud high-pitched noise throughout the dictation that it was excruciatingly painful and most probably injurious to my hearing! I really did not and do not feel I should be subjected to such pain (especially for minimum wage!). Unfortunately, it is the middle of the night, and no TSM is around for us night owls.
I was going to do my MOT, but now I am in such pain, I am thinking of quitting early.
Nobody should have to do jobs from that facility! It was an account out o ...
I managed to hang onto a direct-employee remote position for many years; that position ended recently.
I knew the day would come--I've been outsourced from more than one facility in the past--but I decided to hang in as long as the job was there, and it lasted far longer than I ever thought it would.
From time to time I'd think I should start preparing for the inevitable but had no clue which way to go, with outsourcing impacting so many industries and my having n ...
I have been targeted like crazy on audits, getting them every couple of days, and albeit there are some things I did wrong (had/has), I am getting marked for stuff like leaving a blank, sending to QA, and then marked wrong for the blank on a critical error saying I should have been able to find this. I could not hear it, so how could I find it? I should have just sent it to the client, but really felt that a fresh set of ears might heart what this mushmouth was saying.
I guess I am ...
I just installed spell checker. How do I turn it on? Can it be put on favorite bar or will it automatically spell check everything I do on the computer? Please help, new MT. ...
I have IM'd and E-mailed tech support and, surprise, no response from them. I am in EditScript. With the VR reports, the red box that follows the text... I find it very distracting. I can't figure out how to get rid of it. Anyone? Thanks. ...
I have been envying all of you who have already left, and now it is my turn to say goodbye. I regret leaving all the nice people I worked with but do not regret leaving this company. I give Nuance a 65% quality score as an employer (failed audit, no bonus, needs mentoring!!)
Thank you for all who have posted on this forum. Hearing your stories helped me when I was struggling and thought I was alone. I hope you all find yourselves in a better place soon!! ...
Before we got the notification about new changes, when I went to Fiesa, I had a lot of 100% reports, and very rarely got an email from Fiesa. Now I am getting one every few days. The person that used to edit my work no longer is, and a different person with an Indian-sounding name is editing my work. What happened to no more nitpicking. This person seems to find all kinds of nitpicking, nothing to do with patient care I looked nipticking up in the urban di ...
Honestly, this dictation I'm doing is like the turn signal syndrome. What I mean by that is people who don't bother to use their turn signals when they turn (I know, I'm anal. I even use mine in parking lots). There's a reason they're on the car and it's against the law not to use them when indicated.
This doctor doesn't know how to use the turn signal, er, um, pause button, and I'm sitting here listening to um, ...
No replies to Oncall for 6 -7 cpl. Look down a few ads and see the pathetic one put on by Lee Perfect. She cannot get anyone to type and says "sad but true." It just may be that the time for the MTSOs has arrived, meaning that sooner than may have been expected they will be begging for MTs to come to work for them and it will fall on deaf ears and very still fingers.
I think most of us who have been in this profession for years have "finally had it." We are either stayin ...
I read the posts below on the difference between an IC and an employee. However, in applying to what was reported to be a "good company to work for" recently, I was told of the schedule I needed to be "willing" to work, as well as the rate I would paid, even though I thought it was low. When I tried to explain that IRS will not allow them to do this, I was basically told to buzz off. I'm tired of it and I'm going to turn them in. It's about time MTSOs had t ...
Lockdown for us started last week and sometimes I can punch in earlier than 15 minutes and jobs keep downloading after my shift and other days I get the error message to contact my CCM. Also last week there were 200+ shifts posted on the swap board to pick up and this week around 25 a day. We also go from NJA to many late jobs in the matter of a day with no consistency. Lastly, when I logged off my shift tonight the backlog for my account was very high with late jobs but n ...
I must have accidentally put in a command to disengage these functions in a document and I am straight-typing everything! Other than closing the program and starting again, if you have any suggestion, would TYIA. Have a productive (i.e. GOOD) day everyone. ...
I've always been able to read fast, needed to for college. With current ASR the highlighting was driving me crazy. I, as do others, read head, and also primary use control and +.
DOES ANYONE know if we will be able to turn the highlighter off in M-Modal. This could possibly be the difference between life and death as I know it. ...
I have suddenly been getting audited at least 3 times a week. Lots of little "and" versus "the" type errors. Plus, now I'm so nervous I've started making stupid mistakes. I figure I'll be one of the next group to go. I've been doing this since 1978 and I don't know anything else. I just feel stupid. And hopeless. ...
Does anyone know of anything worthwhile (i.e., money-making) to do while sitting around waiting for the next job to load? My time is worth more than watching the clock tick away waiting for MQ to throw me a job here and there. What irks me is how I have to make that wasted time up in my own free time, and not only that, but what time suits THEM best, i.e., Friday or Saturday nights. The gaul. Anyway, I was wondering how you all spend that idle time being more fruitful.&nb ...
Can someone please tell me how to turn Kasperksy back on. I turned it off temporarily due to a bad lag in my text showing up and now cannot figure out how (where to go,what the steps are, etc) to turn it back on. Thank you!! ...
I guess I am just spoiled that I used to work for a great company, and, of course, it was gobbled up because of their software and the transcription "had" to go with it. After about 3 years, they finally did away with the small transcription part. Each year we received a 500 dollar bonus for longevity. The line rates were great, the insurance was excellent and we got merit raises each year. If we had to work OT our line rates was one and a half times what our line rate wa ...
I don't know what key I accidentally hit, but all my transcription has turned gray and unable to be edited while the headers that were gray have changed to black. Anyone know how to reverse this as I'm stuck in a report. I know this belongs in Tech Support, but felt it would not be seen there. ...
Hi, I recently spoke to someone from Turn Around Time Transcription. I had found their ad on mtjobs.com. Does anyone have any knowledge of this company? They use the Medrite XL platform and the owner told me all the transcriptionists said it was an easy platform to work on, but then I looked it up and MTs were complaining about the line counts being so low. Any info on either the company or the platform? Thanks,
Kathy ...
Many continue spinning their wheels in misdirected anger at the MTSOs who are the secondary byproducts/bottom feeders of the much larger metastatic VR software giants currently monopolizing this industry. Start hacking at the heads of the snakes & the tide will start to turn for MTs. This below was posted on another thread and the first suggestion is spot on.

I thought there was a way to make that annoying ding sound at the end of the dictation when spell check is complete to sound softer. I have Windows XP. I keep looking in the control panel but it does not seem familiar to me as to the way I used to do it. In some reports if the dictator talks low and then when you reach the end it blasts out my eardrum. TIA. ...
