Love working here, but being shoved out of my job. - tenacious

Posted: Jun 12, 2013

I feel I am being pushed out of my job. I love working for this company, but after a disagreement with my supervisor my QA scores dropped, I was taken off accounts, my queue in the account I had left was cut in half. As I said, I like this company and don't want to go anywhere else, but has anyone else experienced the same thing and, if so, how did you deal or get through it?

Pushed out....sm - anon4once

I feel your pain. I haven't had a disagreement with my supervisor, but my QA scores have dropped, and last week we were overloaded with work... This week, I'm sitting here after being almost 4 full days with little to no work... It stinks... I'm so not handling it very well. I have a really bad case of anxiety because I really need my paycheck, and it doesn't look like it's going to happen, at least not this payperiod... Trying to get out of this business, but that's sometimes easier said than done...

I could have written your post - samehere

You are not alone, I'm going through the same thing. Having anxiety attacks, I really need the money right now, not sure what I'm going to do. Just the feeling of being shoved out is really messing with my head. Plenty of work last month, now very little.

Surely does suck since....sm - anon4once

I have given and given and given of myself working a schedule that no one else would work in order to "help" out, working on my days off. I even worked a schedule for about 6 months doing Thursday thru Monday because work load was awful on the weekends, and now I can't even work within the schedule hours that I was told a month or so ago not to change back to my later evening schedule.

I'm just so panicked about what the heck I'm going to do about paying bills until I can find something else, EVEN if it means working full-time for minimum wage at one of our local business, like the dollar store or something.

I'm already into the process of trying to get into school with financial aid, and have been approved for financial aid, but it's only enough for the moment to cover expenses of the college classes for nursing, BUT that's because when I filled out the paperwork I didn't check the box for "dislocated" worker because at the time I actually had enough work to be able to work AND go to school in order to pay the dang household bills that surely won't wait 2 years or 4 years until I finish up school for nursing.

However, I do have a friend who is going to try to help me get in with some kind of government program for people like me who are employed but not being provided enough work to make it, almost like being "phased out"....

It really saddens me that I gave this company a chance, a REAL chance. I took the negative comments with a grain of salt, but I certainly didn't forget a single one of them that said, "just wait your accounts will be next and you will find yourself without work." I listened and started plotting. I just thought I had a little more time than a few months to get my ducks in order.

Where there's a will, there's a way, and I know that God will provide for me in my time of need.... Still my mind is making me crazy and the panic and anxiety attacks I have had over the past 2 days have actually required me to take medication...something I have not had to do in more than 4 years... So sad to be reduced to this, but in truth I could see it coming over the last month or so...

I certainly wish you luck my friend... I have always loved this profession, even with the changing and morphing into editing. I actually love editing, but I just can't work 12 hours a day anymore for a mere 4 hours of actual work, IF I get that. I'm burnt out, and I won't let it break me to the point that I can't function at all because of the panic that I'm experiencing...

I don't know if you're a religious person, but I'm leaving this all at my Father's feet and I know that He will make a way for me because I am WILLING to go whatever distance it takes me to get out before it kills me... :)

You're doing much better than you feel at the moment. - Keep going, and best wishes. :) nm

I'm still trying to understand why you love or even like it here. - SM

[ In Reply To ..]
With that going on and everything else, I just have no advice to offer you, as I don't understand why you love it. It's a contradiction I can't make sense out of.

Isn't that legalized extortion? - IMHO NM

I had one with mine when I told her their formula for productivity no longer made sense on per report basis due to a new doctor and I was given a formula which was mathematically incorrect and after I pointed that out it was all downhill and I ended up terminated but for bogus reasons...long story but supervisors do have control of things

I've been working for Cornerstone Professional Services for a few years now. I love working for them! They pay on time (direct deposit) every time. I don't know what former staff was like, but I've read some negative reviews about them. I can honestly say the current staff is VERY supportive. They do everything possible to make the MT successful. Any critiquing that is done is always in good taste and and even good humor. The supervisor is a transcriptionist herself, ...

It is now mandatory that we purchase the WPD to the tune of $41 with no help from Transcend and no paycheck deduction, but rather a check in the mail to them. That directory changes more often during the year than a honeycomb has bees. I stopped buying it when MDI paid towards it and it was $25 then. Now, we HAVE to buy it? Good grief! What will be next? I know what it will be--me accepting the job offer I was thinking about. No more thinking; I ...

AND then spells it again - extubated, e-x-t-u-b-a-t-e-d, extubated e for elephant, x for crosses, t for tom, u for umbrella, b for .......... get the picture (sigh)? On top of that, the report is 28 minutes long!!! Should never have gotten out of bed this morning. LOL I do feel bad for him that he doesn't realize he doesn't have to spell every other ...

Hey, I don't actually type that crap, ya know! I have way too much dignity to be associated with that garbage for the pittance they are paying. However, looking at the crap that VR produces that is included in patient records, I realized, hey, why bother proofreading??? Anything I produce with my old-fashioned, stone-age, luddite TRANSCRIPTION looks a heck of a lot better than anything I've seen VR produce. No one will notice any mistakes I might make. The ...

An email gets sent out around 4 a.m. stating there is a critical backlog and asking everyone to help out. The email shows the backlog, but it's really not that big. Says if you have hours to make up to do it today. This is at 4 a.m., when a lot of us are sleeping. Panic!! I log in for my regularly scheduled shift......and NJA! Thanks a lot MQ. Take work away from people that are scheduled to work just because you get a little panicky at 4 in the morning. ...

I love to be able to fill in blanks that people can't get and to help them. I wish I could give them detailed explainations so that they can understand the why of the error or resources I used to find it. However, because of the ridiculous pay and having to wade though ILP garbage (sorry, I don't enjoy helping them out), I'm only able to leave brief or even no messages to try to at least make what I did when being an MT. These messages come across as rude, nitpic ...

I would absolutely love working for Nuance but for the fact that the work volumes are never consistent or reliable. I love my hours, my TS is awesome and I love my accounts. The benefits aren't great but I can work with what they offer. I wish they didn't practice over-hiring. ...

Imagine 8 hours of looking up "J. A. Smith" in phone books to write down his/her phone number. Then searching for the modifier for his second line. More like insurance work or accounting (even without the numbers) than language based work. I love the narrative of the reports I do, not the lab data. If my job were threatened, I would view it as an opportunity to learn to do something I really wanted to do, not just take the next career offered doomed for automation and overseas outsourcing. ...

Lately I have talked to many friends who are all disillusioned with their careers. The state of the economy has made it worse, but I really think the problems existed before that happened. They come from all walks of life and all occupations. Everyone seems to want out of whatever they are doing. The ones I have spoken to include teachers, attorneys, nurses, doctors, police officers and of course MTs. Anyone out there know someone with a great and (as stable a ...

So, I got this super long report with HORRIBLE audio. When I got finished it looked like a piece of Swiss cheese it had so many blanks. I didn't even CONSIDER sending it to QA as the audio was just terrible and there was NO way I was sending a report that long...and then get paid 3 cents a line because it might put me over 5% QA submission. So, I just sent it straight through, expecting to get a call from my CCM on why I sent so many blanks, which, of course I was prepared ...

And you KNOW she got the email but literally ignores it? The reason I know she got it was that I sent 2 other unrelated emails around the same time (in response to her asking for extra hours, which I said I could do) and another email.....But the one where I actually needed something from her.....where she would actually have to TAKE ACTION, she ignores. So, now it's 3 days later and still nothing. I should have IGNORED her email request for extra hours.....just so sh ...
