I'm sure she has her own reasons for putting the doctor's name like she did, and it's not for you, who is obviously a schoolyard bully type, to call her chicken for not giving the full name.
Maybe she should have said - "I dont mind giving this

In my 28 years of transcription experience, I have never encountered a worse dictator. Anybody who works on BS at the big N knows immediately who he is. He single-handedly brought down the QA scores of an entire team with his insistence that all his work be QA'd and nobody could understand him, so very low QA scores all around. Such fun.
20 years ago when the DRG's hit the hospitals, one was complaing to the other... "they treat doctors like a bunch of old dogs now". Well, that's how MTs are being treated now. Why on God's green earth do the MT services require all MT's to work at least one weekend day every week (Friday's and Monday's don't count). Every ad I see on the Job Seeker board requires weekends. Are they sadistic or something. Why do we put u ...
Decided to take the advise I received about not giving up. The results are that I was told that I have to be laid off, or about to be laid off. Want letter from MQ stating lay off or date of lay off. Too tired to worry with this anymore. ...
It is hard to take the leap of faith.
It is hard to not be an "MT" anymore after so long.
It is hard to think of myself as doing something else...
I always said I would go down with the ship and it was hard to admit that my life boat had arrived....maybe an offshore joke would work here.
Thanks to all the posters on the board who kept me from going insane everytime I was lied to, everytime I was performance managed, got my pay cuts, got lied to some more, and got promoted to MME. I don ...
I am giving it up, transcription work. I have been a transcriptionist since 1998 and have thus so far on this board or other boards have had a job that supported me in doing my work. I have learned many platforms and programs for these companies and always QA seems to be the downfall on all jobs. Learn it one way, learn it another way and always not good enough. So jobs I am going back into retail. Good luck to all MTer's. ...
On my shift yesterday, I did well over 3 hours of dictation, worked 7.25 out of 8 hours (by company standards), and made less than $60.00. Again. Can someone please tell me how not to give up? ...
I am a newbie to the transcription world. I have a year's experience in this field but it is so frustrating trying to find a job and finding that person/company that will give you a chance to gain that experience. I am getting frustrated with job searching and every job saying they require 2 years experience or even more like 5 years.
I did go to online schooling and graduated and felt like my schooling taught me a lot.
I gave up a good paying office job so th ...
If so, did you put in a full two weeks' notice? Did they let you work the 2 weeks? I think I might overlap some, so I can train on the one while still making $$ on the other. How has it worked for you?
...
I see a lot of confusion here lately. Let me clear things up.
I know we all think of it as quitting in advance, but that's not the case, even if you tell them "I'm going to quit in 2 weeks." When you give your notice, whether it's 1 day, 2 weeks, or a month in advance, you're essentially saying "I quit, but if you need time to find a replacement, I'm willing to stay for x amount of time." This is just a courtesy. If they decline your offe ...
I just took a job that said they paid 3.2 cpl for edited and 6.8 for transcribed. Almost everything is edited. Now they want me to divide my edited line count by half and claim that as my edited line count, not the total number of edited lines I do. Has anyone else been told this kind of stuff? I can't believe it! If I do this I only get paid 1.6 cpl for my edited lines. I am flabergasted! I can't live off that in America, who could? ...
Does anyone have any experience recently with how much notice to give MModal? Am afraid if I give notice I will be locked out and will not be able to finish and I need to work up until my notice date. Thanks. ...
Is Nuance still in the habit of cutting you off right away if you wish to give notice of leaving?
I am nervous about taking the leap back into IC but need the flexibility, but what if it doesn't work out....what to do, what to do? I start training this week and want to give 2 weeks notice, just for the fact that I want to keep working around the same time of day that I am scheduled at Nuance - and goodness knows we can't work outside of our schedule - so can't do both at th ...
Does anyone know if you do not give 2 weeks notice if they will still give you your accrued vacation time?
Sitting here today twiddling my thumbs staring at a blank queue most of the day. I am just totally over it. I'd rather just move on with my life ... but I do want my paid vacation time. ...
Has anyone ever heard of an employer asking you to start at a certain and not giving a time to end a shift? What I've been getting is "just work until the work is done". Any comments are appreciated. ...
Pt has severe rectal pain from hemorrhoid banding. S/L dr. is saying "The patient was given Dilaudid and granulated sugar locally with no relief." I have never heard of this. Would they put it on it, or is it given orally??? ...
Does anyone know if it's possible to be rehired by Transcend after quitting a year and a half ago with no notice? I got a job in my own town that I had to start immediately and couldn't pass up because it was working days. I had to quit without notice, but I am thinking of reapplying. ...
You are just back at square one with the same problem, NO WORK. How about a true solution instead of just taking a meaningless action that solves nothing. ...
Really getting fed up....virtually NO work since Labor Day....looking elsewhere and don't want to burn any bridges, but what's the point of giving M*Modal 2 weeks notice if there's no work to type and I could actually be making money at a new job in that 2 weeks' time?! ...
Are you freaking serious??? How many MTs are there in this company? What an insult..And no I'm not playing your games, entering your contests, or doing anything but look for another job. ...
Most people are vague in their comments. Give the details i.e. why you don't like the platform, why you don't like the benefits. Or what type of benefits, how much you pay for the benefits, etc., how many vacation days you get, how is the vacation/sick pay calculated, hourly or average of lines, etc. ...
Thanks so much for taking all the work in my primary and giving it to offshore so that I had to go to my secondary We-Don't-Speak-No-Good-English account! Thanks for helping me lower my line average with that awesome secondary and raising my QC average! Thanks for making me sign in and out 10 times yesterday to see if there was work! Thanks for taking the work (all out of TAT) and giving it back to onshore a half hour before my shift was over! Thanks for making me lose sleep over ...
Seriously, I honestly do not know what is going on in the western region. It wouldn't be so bad if there was just no work in my BOB and I could ask for more back up accounts from other BOB but the whole western region is out of work! It was the same way over the weekend, isn't there usually work on the weekends? I'm a single mom and can't afford to take it off with no pay - I REALLY NEED THIS INCOME so I'm stuck taking it out of my PTO but I won't ...
Are they kidding? Who is going to be sending ANYTHING to QA and take a chance of having their pay cut? Especially if it's the beginning of the work week! Yes, the clients will be getting blanks and I know they will be complaining. The Q keeps sending us e-mails telling us to cut down on QA submissions. Are they kidding? No amount of "tips" will help if the dictator mumbles, sneezes, is ESL, etc. Don't they think we know all the "tricks" already? Besides that, we can't ...
Okay, I just started my first job with an MTSO, and now I'm looking at an empty queue. This is the same running-out-of-work scenario that has been following me for the past 6 years, everywhere I go. Three on-site jobs have gone down the tubes because the clinics/hospitals were "streamlining" with VR, and making their remaining employees more "efficient."
Every time this happens, I promise myself: Will retrain, will find a new line of work. This is a dying field.
Every time, somethin ...
I've worked at a hospital doing transcription and getting an hourly wage, and I've also done transcription at home. At-home was not a good experience for me. I about went bankrupt, but the good thing is that I have more experience now. I'm trying to decide whether to go back to a hospital and get an hourly pay or work from home again... Thanks for any input! I appreciate it! ...
