Resigned, not a word from MQ??? - dabbcart

Posted: Feb 11, 2010

I worked for MQ for over 3 years, resigned last week. Not a word from anyone from MQ. I worked weekends, every holiday except Christmas and Thanksgiving, worked extra when they asked, always made up time, hardly ever had any time off except for things like family emergencies......2-3 days at a time, never a whole week! Geez, ya think they would miss that. I will miss this board, feel like I had friends at home. Will be working outside. Is this normal? Not to say bye?

Absolutely normal. I flat out quit one day and about a week later someone called. I announced at that time I quit and for them to send a label for me to send back their equipment. 2 months later it's still here! Yeah, they love and appreciate us huh! I just love checking back on this board once in a while. Glad I got out. Everything stays the same.
:/

I will say bye to ya dabbcart! - stuck4now

Resigning - MT

I sent an e-mail resigning and my phone did ring that afternoon. I was in QA Dept at the time, so maybe they were low on QA people or something.

It took forever for my shipping ticket to get here. I called them 3 weeks after resigning, and they got right on it.

Word to the wise: Print out that e-mail resignation so they can't come back to you and say you didn't tell them. The e-mail will have the date on it for proof. Then save it on your very own personal computer, if you have your own computer.

Also, when you actually get the ticket, track it on the computer and then print out the entire "proof" of arrival to MQ--it has the date, who signed for it, etc. I am keeping my "proof" for at least a year. Have heard some horror stories of MQ bugging people to send back equipment they already sent back, and threatening to charge them for it.

I resigned from MQ and sent their equipment back. Fortunately enough, I kept receipts, copies, etc. and could prove I sent it back. They started to write/call me that they were going to have their LAWYERS come after me for not returning their equipment. I sent them a copy of the receipts, copies, etc. and told then that if any LAWYER were going to be involved, it would be my own, thank you very much, and to stop harrassing me or I would start a little legal action of my own. That was the last I heard from them. Good riddance. But do CYA, you know, "cover your, um, ankles," with these folks, as they will try anything with anybody.

They don't give a hoot about anything but their $bottom$ line. Use you up and throw you out. I can't believe how smart you are to only work there 3 years! You are brilliant! They are dull and stupid.

Gee, I have worked every Christmas except twice - in 20 years!

[ In Reply To ..]
I have worked EVERY Thanksgiving for the last 20 years. I have worked every Christmas Eve for 20 years. I have worked every Christmas except 2 in 20 years. I have worked every Christmas Eve for 20 years and every New Year's Eve and New Years Day for 20 years. Work Friday nights and Saturday mornings. Although, I have had a week off here and a week off there 3 times in 20 years.

IT SUCKS!!!! I did not become a nurse because their hours, pay, working holidays sucked, but that was 20 years ago and now look at the money they are bringing in and my pay has been cut in half? TRANSCRIPTION SUCKS!!!!!!!!

Good luck to you! You are lucky to break away from the ball and chain.

Me too!! In 25 years only 1 christmas and 0 thanksgivings! - I work weekends, too.

[ In Reply To ..]
I guess you gotta know somebody.

That is -- I was OFF 1 Xmas and 0 Thanksgivings! - I work weekends, too.

[ In Reply To ..]
I have worked every single holiday for a quarter of a century.

I gotta leave MQ, seriously.

Are you kidding? - AnotherMT

[ In Reply To ..]
Do you think anyone really cares in a company with hundreds of employees doing the same thing you did? You aren't the first dedicated employee to leave, I can't believe you really expect them to care. You are just a blip on their radar screen. If you worked in an office and people actually knew you, it might be different, but we are just dots on a map. For every dedicated employee that leaves, another one will show up to take their place. You, as a person, matter not to the company.

Resigned after 4 years - Former MQer

I quit last May, cold turkey. No more MT. I called and let my supervisor know. She was really surprised and sorry that I was going. I was a Tier 3, did a good job, hardly ever heard from the company, asked for a raise in January, reminded the supervisor again in March about my request for a raise. Nothing. I was ready to quit by May. I was still at 7 cpl. I found it a little frustrating that the hard working, quiet MTs out there don't receive any feedback about the good job they're doing. BTW, she did call me a month later to see if I wanted to come back. I miss the terminology!! I watch "House" just to hear it! But between the frustration of ESLs, the low pay, tied to the computer, no time off for Part Timers, I decided to free myself up. It's a sweatshop.

I was working at two companies. One I was an employee and the other I am an IC. I have a baby who is 4 months old, so the IC job is much better for me for now since I can work when I want and as how much as I want. The company where I am an employee, I sent an email to my TeamLeader to let her know I had made the decision to resign and my reasons for doing so. By the time I hit the send button, they had blocked my email and everything and did not send me an email to say s ...

I had to quit before I even started officially working there. The problem was living with my daughter's family. I only have satellite in the mountains and thought I could stay part-time with daughter's family and then come home on my days off. I must have been crazy or totally unrealistic to think this would ever work. I had to work at desk which right next to front door and of course all kinds of traffic all day long. Teenagers too -- very noisy and total ...

I could not take it any longer. Months ago I was on this board telling everyone to remain calm and believe what we had been told. I am now back to eat crow, just like many said that I would. After the telephone conference yesterday in which we were told how wonderful BeyondTXT was going to be, I hung up half way through, went directly to my email and sent in my letter of resignation. That was the last straw! Our Bayscribe platform was being tossed and this new platform, of which its ...

I have worked for Medquist 7 years, started out 10 cents a line and I am Tier III ESL accounts. Used to work for transcend before that. We went to ASR and we were told to highlight and correct so we could "train" it. We have been doing that for the C-Bay over in India through Spheris and Medquist who are owned by them in case you are new to this website. Our loyalty and quality assurance has caused us to lose our jobs. I resigned but I know a lot other well paid MT/ ...

I finally had the moment I have been waiting for, for far too long. I sent my resignation and I could not be happier. I found a new opportunity and I am taking it. No matter where it leads, it will be much better than working for this sweat-shop penile colony. Good luck to you still here and do not give up, there is life after MModal (and some mental recuperation). May God bless you all with YOUR opportunity. ...

My part time job at a local pain clinic has gone full time - just finished my first full week - I was so happy to call my TSH and leave her a voice mail that for reasons beyond my control, I was resigning effective immediately. (The reason - I've gone from $10 an hour to $17 an hour) - There is no actual dictation - all I do is cut and paste from templates. My new supervisor told me I'll be close to $20 an hour soon. There is hope... One thing for sure, I ...

I quit with NO notice 3 months ago and sent a scathing resignation letter, the BEST thing I ever did!!! The letter I wrote was completely accurate, reason why I probably did not receive a response. I am so grateful I was able to find a job 5 minutes from my home paying me an hourly rate of $15.00. Does not sound like much but considering that my salary had steadily decreased with "Screwance", it's awesome! No stress, no crappy emails letting me know I made an error, ...

Other than MTs on this board few will understand my feeling that the weight of the world has been lifted from my shoulders! I actually am waking up smiling and eager to face my work day. I know Transcend is a good fit for a great many people, and I tried hard to be one of them but it did not work for me. I don't think I realized just how much I was being affected by working each day for a company I did not trust. I resigned not having another job, something I have ne ...

Is there a way in AutoCorrect (Word 2010) to change a comma to a period and then cap the next word to make VR go a little faster?

The MTSO that has hired me needs me to have Office 2010 Professional, whereas I have Office 2013 Professional. They said the only reason 2013 won't work is because of the Word version. I remember sometime back that there was a way to set your Word version to a previous version with the push of a button. I've searched the internet for clues, but all I see are instructions for converting 2007 to 2003. Nothing about converting 2013 to 2010. If I can't ge ...

Just have to vent. I have been filling out applications for days. I know MTSOs can set any requirements they want, but you would think that if there is a very specific requirement that instantly disqualifies some Medical Transcriptionists, that would be right up there at the top, BEFORE they ask you to sign in and answer a bunch of questions (including providing reference names and attaching a resume). I did all that, and THEN, I got the following message: "Thank you for your ...
