Nuance - harmful to your health - ex-Nuance and so glad

Posted: Apr 17, 2013

Just saying to all of you there who struggle daily with loss of self-esteem and income. There is a better life. They nearly killed me with stress.

I can't help but wonder if part of their strategy is to lower self-esteem, to essentially make one feel that she can do nothing else and might as well tough it out no matter how demeaning the company is.

Yep we have weekly meetings on lowering MT's self esteem - Get a grip

...from which you're excluded. Now get back to your job of helping make people's lives miserable.

No I'm not excluded - Get a grip

The weekly meeting for ways to lower MTs self esteem is always on Thursdays!

You don't need to have meetings. You do just fine on your own. - NM

taking up a new trade or two? Most community colleges offer Medical Office Assistant programs that are less than a year long, lab tech? Get on-line and browse your local community college course catelog to see whats offered. There are quite a few trade/certificate programs you can do in a years time or less to help you find jobs and get your resume up-dated.

looking desperately - for something

Working for Nuance had a very psychological effect on me. The longer I stayed, fully aware of how I was being used and exploited, the harder it became for me to think I could get out and do something else. But I did. Talk about a relief to my mind.

Boy you just took the words right out of my mouth and email. I just wrote my supervisor telling her I couldn't comply with my schedule as my self-esteem as an MT is in jeopardy; that and the fact that Nuance has cost me my apartment and my car probably isn't too far away either. Last week I had 11 hours in as the acct I was on didn't want us working on it and I didn't know I had a secondary and now I'm getting my rear end handed to be for being the worst MT ever.

You lost your apartment working for Nuance? - So sorry. Unless you live in

some sort of affordable housing with rent being income based, I can totally see that happening if this job is your only means of income. Hope things get better for you.

I got in trouble for working on my secondary when OOW - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
that is the problem, they can't make up their minds. We should have access to more than 1 account at all times. Every single one of my secondaries have a different TL. How stupid is that? I have to check with my TL and the TL of the secondary before I can work on it and then get permission from both. What are the odds of getting a response from 2 different TLs?

Even at MModal (who are evil incarnate) your secondaries automatically download when your primary is out of work.

All I can say - is

[ In Reply To ..]
If you don't like it leave.

Why post - This

[ In Reply To ..]
at all? Fine, you weren't happy, you left. Enough with the bashing.

Agreed. nm - Happy Nuance MT

why post? - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
I'm not the OP, but why are you posting? Oh wait, you must be a cheerleader for this crappy company

Is it bashing - or is it sharing

a personal truth?

To lower your self esteem is if you let them

You should be a psychiatrist - Anon

That's a brilliant observation. Why don't you have your own practice? Oh, now I remember.

NOT A NUANCE CHEERLEADER - Burning Rubber Leaving

Nuance does lower self esteem and overhires. You are hired for a set schedule, then when you run OOW they expect you to flex (although they will tell you that you don't HAVE to). However, if you don't flex, at the end of the pay period, you wind up with a smaller than normal paycheck. It is ridiculous. Don't EVEN get me started on the QC/QA, who half the time get the specs mixed up from one account to another and add commas where they are not needed, etc. I, too, did the happy dance when I left and felt as if a 50 pound weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I have a hard time understanding how anyone can actually be happy there. My guess is that they will not be for long. Something will happen - Nuance is just that way.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but from what I have heard this insurance plan (BC/BS?) does not cover primary care office visits until you reach a 2500 dollar deductible, no copay anymore, paying for the whole visit?? I thought all insurance companies had us pay a copay, not the whole cost of the office visit. What about prescriptions, do we pay the full price for them now too, or is it still about a 15 dollar copay? I am left wondering how they got this kind of insuranc ...

May be a silly question, but can't seem to get an answer. Can we cancel health benefits with Nuance at any time? Or is it only once a year? Can we drop it and get Obamacare instead? From what I have heard from friends, I would have much better coverage going with Obamacare instead of Nuance. ...

tell me how that works? I know the insurance premiums are less than a regular health plan. If your company puts 500 in your account, does that mean the first few times, for example, until you use up the 500, you don't pay ANYTHING or is it the opposite...you pay the entire office visit cost until you reach that 500? I would be so grateful for any information about this type of plan. TIA ...

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 ...

I am considering becoming self employed (after a fashion) as an IC. I have gone onto www.healthcare.gov and gone through the steps they advise when you want to take out private insurance. Holy cow, the insurance plans offered varied in premium cost from $600 to $4000 per month for a family of 4, but the thing that got me was two items: Maximum out of pocket for individual: 0$. Annual deductible for individual: 0$. Woohoo. This just seems too good to be true.&n ...

As June is approaching us, I suggest that anyone who has health benefits appeal to upper management (I emailed Vern and got a decent reply) to please consider better benefits. They way they are now, if you are a single parent with young children, this plan could be catostrophic in a way worse than if you had no benefits or job to speak of. I am not single nor have young children but am currently in debt of over 2,000 to a health provider. I will probably still be paying it off when we use ...
