Raising hand and slightly irritated by it. - I suspect I am reject they did not

Still waiting, but if they do them alphabetically I am way down the list.

Hubby is in DP. Many times when they have a huge number of e-mails they set it up so only so many are sent during a time interval (min, hr, day)

Haven't heard - Nope

From some of the posts below from the MTs that heard and are going to do it, and according to some of the scores, which were the low 90s, which is fine, as they had a good record with MM apparently, I think this is done and we didn't get it. I am sorry, as it was a really stressful situation and now I don't know if I want to stay on or not; especially with the financial situation of this place, despite what they are saying. But, nothing ventured, nothing gained, perhaps next time or if I really feel I want to be a coder, take the course on my own and look elsewhere. You don't have to work for MM to be a coder and may be better off. Check out your options and what's out there.

I pretty much agree with you. It is probably time - for MTs to put the pedal down

and get out. I was already going back to school in the fall, looking at x-ray tech.

This was just a possible option and, apparently, no longer one.

Still, I would have found it polite to at least have been notified.

Agree. While I did apply for this I was not - totall convinced it was for me. I had

just started the application process elsewhere for coding and was getting ready to take - gasp - you got it - the A&P test (to test out). I put that on hold while waiting for this. I think my gut told me the whole time that was the right direction for me, but I still waited it out. I think doing it outside of MModal will leave me more prepared. I'm happy for those that got in and let this be your stepping stone to greater things!

OMG this is so sad ... almost like being picked last on the playground - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
When I saw the acceptance letters coming I got way excited ... but still nothing.

I honestly feel like crying.

awwwwwwwww,,,,you're right on the playground. Me too... - mtnsp

[ In Reply To ..]
It is kind of tacky at this point. LOL

Big hug ... we're gonna be OK - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
The same hope and faith and prayer that I had to get into this program I'm going to use now to get out of this. This is intolerable.

I'm genuinely super happy for all those who got in, but for those of us who don't even get the courtesy of a rejection notice, it feels absolutely horrible.

You're right.. we will all be okay :) I have same exact - mtnsp

[ In Reply To ..]
feelings as you as far as faith. And if nothing else, it has inspired me this week to explore colleges and private coding schools. I am a GREAT MT, as I know we all are, and I shall be a GREATER coder :) So, I thank them for inspiration and will get out of this industry ASAP.

LOL. Good comparison. But I don't feel like crying - I am kinda miffed. I find it rude

[ In Reply To ..]
If some were notified of rejection, all should have been.

Some form of notification should have been sent to every applicant, not just some.

And, it seems that all of the rejection letters went out first.

You're right. Every applicant who took the test - won out over some who wanted - s/m

[ In Reply To ..]
to test but wasn't offered the opportunity to do so. Every applicant who took the test gave it their VERY BEST SHOT, and I think they deserved EXACTLY THE SAME LEVEL OF COURTESY as those who scored more to M*M's liking.

Still remaining positive - Positive

[ In Reply To ..]
I kind of agree with the second string idea for those who haven't heard anything yet, but I still hold out hope. To me, a maybe is way better than a flat out no. It's not over for me until I get that final email either way. Anything is possible. :-)

oh I agree... it ain't over til.. its over. NM - mtnsp

They should have held all notifications and sent them out all at one time...
I agree - kind of rude and hurtful to leave us in limbo...

well there is orientation tomorrow - and Monday so maybe you will

hear something soon

To those still thinking they have a chance. - Me thinks that ship has sailed

[ In Reply To ..]
Those who got in have orientation tomorrow.

Not sure why I am surprised, it is MModal after all. Not known for treating their employees with even a modicum of respect.

Am I the only one who feels supremely peeved? - I would have been fine with

[ In Reply To ..]
a rejection letter. Would have said, oh well, such is life.

But the fact that I, and others, were completely ignored, just bugs me.

I am actually mad at MModal, really and truly angry. I am a very good employee, never late for shift, never leave early, I have actually even been one of their little pets of the month. I have gone out of my way to be nice to them even on this board.

This just feels like such a slap in the face.

No ... you're definitely NOT the only one ... - feeling the same way

[ In Reply To ..]
I've tried to construct a post to express how I'm feeling right now 3 separate times and nothing comes out coherently. I was just describing this fiasco to a friend who called it "disgraceful" to not contact ALL employees together and at once. One group email for rejections, one group email for acceptance, then ... done. No hurt feelings. No one gets offended. And yes I would feel this way even if I got into the program so this is not a "jealousy" issue ... it's a common decency issue out of consideration for those who took the time to apply to and support your program.

I can't say that I've been a pet of the month but I too am a great employee. I'm one of the top producers in my region, I've never failed an audit and I'm super easy to get along with. I've rolled with each and every change this company has gone through and was even willing to turn a blind eye to the bankruptcy issue but to just completely ignore the application and test of a good and faithful employee is just unspeakable. I honestly don't get it.

This company is not only financially bankrupt but it's also morally bankrupt. I came across an old icon on my desktop from MModal/Medquist days gone by, from our old software called "MT Shell". Today, I was thinking ... how appropriate. It must've been a sign.

Your post is very coherent. I could not have expressed - it better. It is a bitter pill

[ In Reply To ..]
It is just the fact they didn't notify all of us. Disgraceful is a good word.

It's simply unacceptable.

Well, there's another, more positive way to - look at being "rejected" by -

[ In Reply To ..]
M*Modal for coding. There were most likely criteria for getting picked that was more subjective than objective, and although they may never post it here, it's likely people with lower test scores, or perhaps lower transcription performance in the past, got on the accepted list.

You may not think of it that way today, but somewhere down the road you'll probably thank your lucky stars you weren't sucked into 2 years of forced service for them just to obtain some training in a field you have an interest in. Now you're free to pursue it in your own way, with the coding educator YOU decide is best.

The way M*Modal treated you as MTs, and now the way it's treating those it passed up for a chance to be human guinea pigs in its pilot coding school, speaks volumes. Even when trying to come off like they've changed their spots, and are now this caring, concerned company that's offering its MTs the "chance of a lifetime", they still show their true colors.

Don't feel sad that you didn't make their cut, regardless of what their flimsy criteria might have been. I think you dodged a bullet, and somewhere down the line you'll be glad you did.

It's not the "rejected" part, it's the acting like some of us - were not worthy of even being notified

[ In Reply To ..]
You come to expect at least some minimal level of courtesy but some of us didn't even get that.

It kind of stings and shows you how little you mean to the company, as if we didn't already know. It solidified some things for me though, I know I don't want to work for a company like this any longer than I must.

Basically, it's been working out fine until one day last week when I received an email from the transcription manager saying that was "short on my time" on one specific day. I was confused because while I agreed to work first shift on specific days, I wasn't aware that I was strictly held to a specific schedule and wondered how they were keeping track of my hours worked because I do not punch a time clock. I assume they are keeping track of the hours I'm logged onto th ...
