Hahahahahaha! I just logged of Nuance - sm

Posted: Jan 28, 2013

one day about a month ago and never logged back on. I didn't give notice. I didn't tell anybody I was quitting. I just logged off and stopped typing.

A week later, I got an e-mail that I had 3 Major errors. Hmm...okay.

This week, I got a paycheck from them.

LOL, awesome. - We should all try this!

Heck, maybe I'll finally get that bonus I haven't qualified for. LOL

There is seriously something wrong with that company. Holy crap. I mean wow.

I will come out and say it. - see message

The email you received stating you had major errors is just part of the operational procedure. The dept that is responsible for audits is not the same as the dept for which your TSM works. No surprise that you received customary feedback.

Your TSM rightly assumed that you would 1) Work your schedule, or 2) Give customary notice if you were quitting. After all, that is part of your contract. He/she will eventually notice that you are AWOL.

The level of unprofessionalism you demonstrate with your post is jaw dropping. Just my opinion.

Jaw dropping? - You must be easily jaw-dropped then

if you think that was unprofessional. Just my opinion.

When another party violates the contract (think pay cuts, etc.)I don't think the contract is valid anymore.

That's my belief. I didn't agree to work for the wage they cut my pay to. - so they voided my contract

[ In Reply To ..]
Cutting pay just because they can and not because they're losing money is the unprofessional part. They get what they give.

I work for a different company that did that. The only - written documentation I have of my - S_M

per-line pay is from the original company I signed on with years ago. Then, unfortunately, that company was bought out. Our pay has been cut drastically since then, but never did they ever give it to us in writing. They just called on the phone one day, out of the blue, and said, "Oh- by the way, everyone (all MTs, that is!) is getting their pay reduced because we're switching to VR, and VR is so fantastic, so magical, that even at fewer cents per line, you will all become millionaires." Or something to that effect, anyway. The fact that they "nudged" me from day shift into almost-graveyard by simply making the work evaporate until later and later in the afternoon/evening, was never put on paper, either. Nor was the fact that they stopped paying for spaces, or stopped paying shift differentials. It all just got mysteriously sneaked into our paychecks. I HATE THESE PEOPLE.

They WON'T put it in writing when they buy a company and cut pay. - sm

They don't want anyone to have a leg to stand on for unemployment, so they will not do it. As far as I'm concerned, my contract is the original one I signed and if they bought my company they bought my contract. They broke my contract with pay cuts, especially since my previous company was profitable so they didn't need to cut pay to be profitable. Back to my original thought though, when they cut Transcenders' pay, they gave us something in writing that said they estimated we'd lose $XXXXX on their new pay scale and that they would make up the difference for 6 pay periods. After that they were "confident" we'd be able to make up any differences through increases in production and quality. Biggest load of BS ever. Mine was $300 a pay period ($600 a month). Like I can much up by doing the equivalent of 2 more full days' worth of work without working any extra hours. It was a BS letter so we couldn't file unemployment because of the pay cut and put it all on us and made themselves look harmless. If you got a pay cut, it's your own fault for not stepping it up, essentially. To me, pulling that crap is 1000 times worse than the Kay cut itself and shows how underhanded and evil they are.

Excuse typos. Typing on phone. - nm

I gave them the same amount of notice they gave me before cutting my pay.

unprofessionalism - Baffled

[ In Reply To ..]
My opinion too. I'm afraid to ask if she sent the check back for fear of the answer.

What contract? I have an old contract from my - company that was bought SM

[ In Reply To ..]
out that the terms of that contract are null and void at their doing, not mine. So again, what contract. A moral contract maybe? Good manners? Being treated like a professional and giving the same? When the other party violates any contract, moral or otherwise, how long can you keep up the facade of professionalism? I really resent your post.

That IS funny! Shows how discombobulated all of - these MTSOs are! When I leave, - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
I don't intend to give any notice, either. Who cares about them? Even if I were a star employee, and jumped through all the "usual protocol" hoops before leaving, do you think they would give me a good word if another prospective employer were to call to inquire about my employment? Of COURSE they wouldn't! When I'm ready to go, it will be the same. Log out, UNINSTALL all their crap spyware (I mean transcription platform), and "adios muchachos!" Good bye and good riddance.

I think the sooner ALL of us get out of this field, and away from these dishonest employers, the better off we'll be. What happens to them, or to my accounts, I couldn't give a rat's you-know-what about.

I don't plan on giving notice either. nm - mt2

I dunno.. the longer my resume showed I was an - MT there, the bigger chump I"d seem to be. (N/M)

I too just walked away - Intolerant of Lies

[ In Reply To ..]

I applied, tested for, was interviewed, and hired for an hourly/administrative position with Nuance, but after all the software downloads, online training, and filling out legal paperwork... the day before I was scheduled to start working for them, they pulled the old familiar bait and switch... "I'm sorry, but that position has been filled. Would you be interested in an MT position?" I was furious that I had been duped but felt I had no choice except to take whatever income was available for the time being. My former position had been dissolved due to lack of work at my old company, and the 3 administrative positions I had been offered from other companies (before I settled on Nuance) were also already filled.

I had not been a straight MT for probably 15 years and it was physically hard for me to get back into the mode of just straight typing 8 hours a day, but I gave it my best shot. However, in a matter of 2 months' time, I wasn't even making a pauper's income due to the extreme overstaffing and/or lack of work, even though I was continuously asking for new accounts to fill the void and even changed my shift twice hoping that would solve the problem of never having enough work. I was good to get in 2 hours a day before they ran out of work during any shift I tried.

Thus, I found another job and just didn't show up at Nuance one day. The kicker? It took them 2 WEEKS to realize I hadn't been clocking in. Who wants to work for a company that doesn't even know you exist?

That bait-n-switch they pulled on you was LOWER - THAN LOW! And, to do it - s/m

[ In Reply To ..]
after HIRING you for the administrative position, sounds just the eensiest bit ILLEGAL, to me.

it might be worth talking to a labor lawyer - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
I do believe this hiring practice is illegal. It would be interesting to find out if you might be able to recover even nominal monetary damages. What they did really stinks, and impacted your livelihood significantly. Check it out, and good luck.

After W2, ME TOO! - fastfingers

[ In Reply To ..]
Got my W2, which was less than 1/2 what I made before Nuance. Since I saw the numbers, I've just been waiting for them to tick me off, which didn't take long. Left early last Saturday and am not looking back.

co-workers just up and vanished... for TWO WHOLE YEARS! Boss never said anything, we all just assumed she had died, or was locked up in jail.

2 YEARS LATER, almost to the day, she walks into the office, unannounced, sits down at her desk and starts typing, as if no time has gone by at all! Boss comes in, looks over at her typing away at her desk, and says "Thank goodness XXXXXX is back! We have a backlog to catch up on!"

True story.

PS: And another coworker, who couldn't afford to - retire, actually died at her desk one day.

Also a true story.

OK, I'm dying to know. What's the back story? - nm

post. You can tell that by looking where it says "in reply to" at the top of the post. I would also love to know the back story. :) Please come back and spill.

According to a poster below which has apparently already attended one of the payroll meetings (as the poster posted) for nuance they have decided to keep the incentive part of all of our pay going with an exception that now you have to have over the industry standard of 98% to get a production based incentive. In addition (if this poster is accurate) they have again cut the overall pay from 8 and 4 to 3 3/4 AND 7 1/2. This is nothing but a bunch of crapploa...an MT who is now getting ...

If Webmedx does away with or changes their recently advertised "PRODUCTION BASED INCENTIVE" bonus and adopts the Nuance quality based bonus then this change may be considered by quite a few WMX employees as yet another cut in pay.
