Termination, i.e. quitting. - mt

Posted: Sep 17, 2014

Does anybody know where to find information about quitting, where it might state if you should 1 or 2 weeks notice?

You should always give 2 weeks notice. If you dont, you can never - work for MM again, which may be SM

good or may be bad, depending on your point of view.

I quit after 8 yrs but came back 2 wks later - sm

This was over 2 yrs ago. I was told by my MM supervisor to give 2 wks notice so I would be eligible for rehire. I did and glad I took that advice. I was contacted about 3 wks later by MM and invited back. The job I left for (Transcend 2 wks prior to being bought by Nuance) did not work out. Ya never know. Best to not burn bridges you might need to cross back over. MM gave me the line rate I left at (which is considerably more than what they offer now).

She's right. Give your notice. MM ain't all bad. - see msg

I made more with them than any company out there pays. I gave my notice, but didn't finish out my two weeks because I had already started the job I have now, which is non-MT and that was almost 2 years ago. Now I'm in a place where had I given my notice I would probably reapply due to the amount of ongoing turmoil at my current job.

The grass isn't always greener and sometimes we don't find that out until it's too late. And I was happy at MM, maky6 for VR and 9 straight typing, but thought it wise to leave MT when the opportunity arose. Like the other poster said, don't burn your bridges.

That's not true... - Coco

One of the MTs who joined MM with me from our hospital laid us off after signing global contract with MM quit without giving 2 weeks or even a 1-week notice. She told them the next day after getting fed up with the nonsense and it wasn't worth the headache for the low pay. I spoke with her recently and she said that MM actually called her and asked her if she would come back. Of course she told them 'no'. MM are desperate to have bodies in chairs doing their work, not necessarily giving the proper compensation while doing it.

Not sure how long ago that was but - HSDM just told us we were overstaffed

Not desperate.

Termnation - I quit on the spot

[ In Reply To ..]
and I did it that way, because I never, ever wanted to work for this horrible place again in my life and the job I had didn't work out either and I just dug in and found something else. There is absolutely nothing that would ever bring me back to this place, nothing! I hated it so much when I worked there and have continued to feel the same way. I don't know how any MT can take the abuse they dish out and the horrible work they give you. You can't make any money, NJA, and they take advantage of you on that. Again, I got out as fast as I could and never looked back. But hey, that's me!

That's how I feel. If a company is so bad that - I know I dont ever want to - sm

work there again, and would rather starve than do so, then they obviously don't deserve even one minute of advance notice.

We just got an e-mail saying that for anyone working on Abington Hospital (not mine thankfully), an incorrect cc will be cause for immediate termination!!! Whoa . . . talk about looking for a reason to get rid of us! That's insane! I feel really sorry for any of you who have that account. MQ is the worst. ...

I just got terminated today after working for over 2 years with no problems with quality. All of a sudden they kept auditing me and for sure they found 1 error that would be the reason for my terimination. Has anyone else been terminated? Spoke to the operator to return my equipment and she said she has a long list of people that were terminated and she was sure that she could find my name on that list. .

Well finally the game has ended. I was informed by my TL last evening that Transcend thought it was best that we part ways. She stated I was putting hardly any hours in during my "scheduled hours" while there was work available to me (what a joke). She tried to paint a picture that there was work available to me over the last pay period, but I was not working any hours and basically it was my fault. My response to her was unfortunately every time I l ...

Has anyone ventured towards anything like this? I feel VERY strongly that I was wrongly terminated, but I really do NOT want to work for the company anyway, but with no income, I am not sure what to do. I do not like the fact of them getting away with what they have done either... Anyone gone down this route or had any thoughts of it? I do not want to ruin future chances of me getting employment and wondering if this would lean towards that if I decided to proceed. I've never ...

After 20 years of service - M*Modal notified me today that I am not longer needed. Since M*Modal took over, it has been a nightmare!! After taking a paycut when Editing came on board and then being told that we would NEVER be getting raises ( - who tells their employees that????), GOOD RIDDANCE!!!! They terminate US employees and keep all their offshore employees for lower salaries! I was up to nearly $20.00 an hour, and then got bumped down to $13.00. After the ini ...

The return address was MModal in Morrisville, NC! Guess they have many offices. The letter was a standard, I'm-sorry-type...part-time position eliminated due to "restructure of Operations business model." "This was a difficult decision...." Still no one has called about the computer. Out of habit, I still visit this site, though less frequently. Seems things at MModal are just getting worse and I feel bad reading some of these posts. I am starting to believe, t ...

Just curious because I did see the ad that SOAP had posted and maybe I missed it, but I did not see anything in the ad about them supplying the computer. I had a similar situation with using my personal computer to look stuff up on and the company computer for company stuff, but I have to agree, that it was a bit harsh on their part. I was just wondering why you were supplied a computer, if there was no need to use one of theirs. ...

My QA score has always run about 12% (SS requires 8% or less to QA) since i started. My trainer told me I had a very difficult account and not to worry. Since then they hired a new producion manager and the percent to QA has apparently become an issue. I generally get 99% to 100% on my QA score and an email thanking me for the great job (automatically sent, I know). Today I got an email threatening termination if my score did not comply with the 8% by the next pay period. I know it c ...

GRRRRR!!!! Just venting about this company and their lack of communication and not paying in a timely manner. Last week, I did approximately 4-5 jobs for them. One was EXTREMELY difficult and probably the job that got me termated. Pay was supposed to be in today via Paypal. Called the office and spoke to "M," whom of course, gave me the same "song and dance" that he pretty much just handled clients. Sent an email to tech support, trying to get answers to no av ...

People are being terminated without warning at M Modal, according to the board here. People are being picked on at Nuance even more than usual by QC and supervisors. These are the 2 biggest employers in the industry. Why this now? And most people only make minimum wage. There can't be such a big economic reason for firing people who are paid so low with this kind of technical skill. What is going on here... and why... thinking aloud, but ideas would be ap ...

I was laid off last Friday. Letter came today confirming discussion by phone that my part time position was eliminated and shipping labels will be sent. I can't tell you how nice it has been to not be an employee for this company. It angers me to read posts of whatever they are now doing about NJA situation. It's hard to believe we have had to put up with these kind of antics for so long. It's stressful to read them even as a former employee! But I f ...

I would like to thank you all for the many responses I received regarding my post last week, regardless as to if they were positive or negative responses. When I posted I knew I was putting my head on the chopping block so to speak. I respect everyone's opinions. and the reason behind all prior posts was to share my experiences with Transcend and hoping others would share theirs (good or bad) as well as to "vent," as I felt I was facing this situation a ...

This is it! Been waiting for this letter in the mail since July 23 to make it official in my mind and received the boxes to return the CPU and monitor. I went to college with a degree in Medical Transcription/Medical Secretary (our TSMs have NO college degree).

Hi! I was hoping for a little input. I have been with Mmodal/Medquist/Spheris since 2005. They have the new quality standards which seem to be out of reach for me. They want us to be at an unreasonable 99.7. Even today, received last week's audit scores and one was 100% the other at 98.75. I am on my 3rd corrective action for this and know I am at close to the end of my rope. I actually would like to go back to school. Has anyone been unintentionall ...
