Just gave myself the best MT Week gift - Ever.

Posted: May 23, 2014

I sent my resignation letter to my supervisor. I am getting out before they completely destroy my self-esteem and physical health. I've had enough.

re getting out - MT

Never let anyone destroy your self-esteem nor your physical health. YOU are MORE important. God bless you.

All things happen for a reason..house for sale or Im letting it foreclose I can't keep treading water here it is killing me mentally, time to just walk away..Question for you that leave,,do you tell them EXACTLY why your leaving? That's what I plan to do, end of the summer is my goal

Im beginning to think- - I would not

give them the satisfaction of knowing the impact they had on me. I would write how I feel to myself to release the anger but would only give them the info needed that I quit, no explanation. Don't lower yourself to their level, walk out with your head held high knowing you did your best. As hard as it is to accept, they obviously would not care why you left because if they cared, you would not be feeling the way you do.

I may or may not tell them why when I quit - clb

I have a lovely list of whys, but when I do give my notice it will be professional and courteous to be a positive reflection on me. If they care and do ask why, I will give them my list, but better worded of course.

The MTSO I quit before this one asked me why I quit and I gave them a list and they argued each one and basically told me I was wrong. I kept the email for quite awhile as proof. I even emailed a copy to the CEO and told them off (but nicely).

So it is nice to tell them why you are quitting but it can come back to bite you also. But with that 1st MTSO I did not care. They were absolutely horrible! (ATSI, cough cough).

Thats true - sm

My thought was if enough did it then maybe it would kick them in the tail..Kind of helping everyone else..But from your side,,your 100% right they don't care..thanks

The sad thing is, they KNOW why we're getting - out. Its what they wanted us to do.

I am so happy for you!! Take back your self-esteem, get healthy and enjoy your life. Don't look back and smile everyday.

The accounts I'm on are causing me to question if I'm comprehending correctly what I hear, as if I have auditory dyslexia or something. Cannot believe how horrific the dictators are at these facilities. They must have 99% incomprehensible ESL docs and the 1% English speaking docs all have speech impediments or are speaking with their jaws wired shut.

Can you imagine them trying to talk to patients? - What a joke!

a scary, scary joke!

Good for you! Best thing I ever did! NM - Daisy

I was with the company for 25 years. y last paycheck (I call it my severance package) was $6.23. I applied one time and started working for Medifax who merged with Secrephone and became MRC Group and then Medquist and then MModal. I would have stayed to the end, but a year ago the company let me go. I was an outstanding employee and part-time. It was a blessing. I no longer have that huge weight hanging over me and worrying and constantly thinking about work to be done or wondering if I have work. I used to work every holiday and sit around babysitting to see if there is work to do and if you think about it, did not really get paid for it because of no jobs. Now I HAVE EVERY HOLIDAY OFF AND I GET PAID FOR IT. I am happy with life and no more feeling like I am constantly demoralized for my job. MT life is changing, especially with Obamacare. I work at a clinic as an MA and I LOVE MY JOB! With Obamacare, medical insurance is changing, especially Medicare and doctors are opting out of Medicare patients by the droves because of constant worrying about fines and audits and if they can fulfill meaningful use. You know how some of you feel working for MModal with constant worrying about your job? that is how doctors are feeling about their jobs, especially dealing with Medicare, government run. Geesh, look how VA is being treated. My clinic just changed over to EMR and my doctors have to satisfy meaningful use for Medicare. I could go on and on, but it is frightening how much the government will have control of your lives by what you eat, drink, your weight, if you have high blood pressure and your overall health issues. Even a computer chip is in the works for people. (AKA- end times). Healthcare is seriously changing. Very sad indeed. Congrats! Your burden of this company will be lifted! YOU ARE FREE!!!!!

Just received my MT gift. I really think that Medquist must feel "It is the thought that counts". It probably cost them more to mail these then they are worth. Why don't they just give us an extra hour off with training pay - worth more to me than this mousepad. I need an ergonomic mouse pad anyway - did they ever think of giving their "beloved" employees one of those? Oh well. Just another day being an MT. ...

I got my MLS weak (pun intended) gift. Actually, I kind of like it. I do keep a note pad on my desk and jot things down while I work...not always work related, but hey! It seems more useful than the leather mousepad I got from Spheris years ago. I would have prefered a cash bonus or some free PTO, but they probably got a deal on the thousands of these gifts that they ordered and the actual cost to them was minimal. Weak effort to make me feel appreciated. I still feel underpaid! ...

I was going to hang out for a bit and see if they offered another coding class. But the day the card came in the mail they lost my main account that I had had for over 10 years. Since there was not even a courtesy notice given until a week later to any of the MTs it just made my decision easy. So thanks for the MT week money, I sure put it to good use. I start in August. ...

I read the post below from the MDI/Transcend MT who is struggling with BeyondTXT. When I was informed last week that this platform was going to be installed on my computer in a day or so and then training would take place for God knows how long, I hung up during the conference call and immediately resigned. I had started another job, which I was going to give a trial period before leaving Transcend, but I realized that taking the time and effort to learn this unfriendly user pl ...

Hi all. I've been doing medical transcription for over 20 years, and have been with the Q for almost 12 years (the first year in the office and at home, and then they sent us all home). Been through all kinds of changes, from working in the local office and at home, to working at home, to being moved to the responsibility of another office, to that office closing down, then to working for a "virtual office" and finally a "service area." I lost count of how many superv ...

Just gave my notice! Working for the Q was just too stressful! Pay was crap, hours were crap. I couldn't take it anymore! I went from an awesome job making about 25 bucks an hour with great hours to the Q? My other company closed down (it was local) thanks to EMR. I must have been desperate. Just accepted another job for better pay and better hours.. ...

I thought I found a good company to work for until I got a two returned checks from them in the mail. The first time I thought mistakes can be made but AGAIN my check was returned. That really upsets me because I work hard for this company and they give me a bad check. There is no excuse for doing this to an employee. I have not been contacted about this check and I just quit because enough is enough. This is very dishonest and unprofessional to say the least. I have a family to take care ...

First, I hope those of you who need to hear this will. I am not by any means saying what I am to hurt anyones feelings, to be mean, to start a ruckus, as a means of causing some to say hateful things, or to seem "better than." This, however, is something that those of you looking for work and unable to find a position, need to hear. I recently had an opening for a transcriptionist for my very small buisness and recieved many, many resumes. Some were wonderful and I wish I coul ...

If Transcend was going to send me something worth less than a dollar store item, I would have rather had the dollar. Some of you will blast me for not appreciating the gift I did receive as you didn't get anything, but sometimes it is best NOT to get something. Like when you leave a penny for your server. That is meant to be a slap in the face. If you leave nothing they just think you forgot! This little star clip thing is a slap in the face!&n ...
