My question: If I do not pass my audit (good chance I will not for MANY reasons), and the outcome is getting fired, WILL I BE ABLE TO COLLECT UNEMPLOYMENT AND GET TAA. I would like to go back to school, no matter what the outcome is, and of course collect unemployement while attending school.
I have been an MT for 30 years. My audits are usually 97.8 and hard to get 98% ALL THE TIME with the horrible dictators. If I get a couple of good dictators, then it is at 100%, like all of us should be. Plus I work in the evenings which family tends to bother me and I get distracted, but had to work these hours to get work and if I stayed days, I would get NO JOBS AVAIABLE. Just cannot win being an MT.
My ulcers are kicking in and just knowing the threats of losing my job, basically a sweat job, is enough to do me in. Every month we will have these audits from now on. MQ says clients want it done, bull I say, the company told the clients this will be done in order to keep the accounts for the big wigs.
Everything is for the client. The highers ups tell our clients a bunch of promises and that is how this company gets the clients so these big wigs can keep getting their high income.
Hopefully something good will come out of this when I get let go. I am also considered paid high on the totem pole which is another reason to let me go. How fortunate for this company to find a way to do this to the high paying employees. Just hope it will help me out at the end by collecting unemployement and TAA.
My husband is actually happy about this. He said it is a long time coming for me to finally be rid of this company and MT life. He said if we are to get 98%, then these dictators better be dictating at least 98% clear and perfect. If you get a dictator that talks like crap, you get crap back because that is all you hear. But, oh no, not MQ. It has been PERFECT NO MATTER WHAT!
Thanks for reading. I am really freaked out. Never thought I would get fired after going to college for this. Do nurses, x-ray techs, medical assistants get treated like this? Do they have the worry about being QAd all the time and worry about the constant threat of losing their jobs like this? No, of course not. Does ASR get fired? They are definitely not 98% compatible and yet we get fired and not ASR?
GOOD LUCK TO ALL!
