Terminated. - AdiosMT
Posted: May 22, 2015
Well, it looks like Nuance is starting to get what they want....giving out walking papers because of their "patient safety" bullshit. I was fired today because of their new metrics scheme and the QA pend percentage being above the minimum when 99.9% of my pends were MANDATORY pends, and because of crappy audio, VR that had to be deleted and started from scratch and dictators that don't know how to key in the right patient info and crappy dictators in general and me painstakingly suffering through all that to get the report right, my line counts weren't consistently on the grid either. So they basically fired me for doing my job. Happy MT week!!
I hope this is a blessing in disguise--I hope - you find something A LOT BETTER
[ In Reply To ..]and I know, it still comes as a shock and you feel like you have been kicked in the stomach.
Take care of yourself if you can and try to breathe.
Run for unemployment, give it a try. Run screaming - to the labor board with your story. SM
[ In Reply To ..]You may or may not have an unlawful termination claim, but go run screaming and give it your best shot. At the least, you stir up a lot of crap and paperwork for them and that's something to be happy for!
Go file for unemployment and enjoy your summer - while you look for something else.
[ In Reply To ..]I know it doesn't feel like it at the moment, but this may actually be an MT week GIFT!
Were you contacted by phone? - fedup
[ In Reply To ..]I was just curious what their mode of contact was for the termination notification.
This is OUTRAGEOUS - but may be a blessing
[ In Reply To ..]I hear you. I had accounts like you are describing, and I quit last year in September. However, had I not done so, I am sure I would have been fired under the new requirements, especially since I live in California, which has the higher minimum wage. I got tired of the insult of not even being able to earn minimum wage at a job I went through years of training to do. I was a hard, conscientious worker, maybe not the fastest, but very thorough regarding anything that affects patient safety. I have never, in all my 45 years of employment experience been treated anywhere near so badly. I hope you are able to get unemployment. I was not because I quit, but you have a better case. Maybe there is some legal aid available for you to help you get justice. Be glad that you can put this nightmare in your rear view mirror.
Just remember it had nothing to do with you or - your quality of work. It had - SM
[ In Reply To ..]to do with the fact that this company is PHASING OUT American transcriptionists altogether. They just needed a "reason", and since I'm sure they didn't really have a solid reason to fire you, they made one up.
Consider your termination to be a giant bolt-cutter cutting the chains of a well-disguised American slave scam.
This place is a joke - AdiosMT
[ In Reply To ..]Yep, I was contacted by phone. I knew it was going to happen because I was on PAP (what I like to call People Against Priniciple). Like an IDIOT, I worked all week ONLY because I didn't want to give them a reason to deny my UI. My TSM emailed my on Wednesday saying my metrics weren't up to snuff and was going to call me Friday. I emailed her back and said if you were going to fire me, fire me tomorrow. Why wait? She said she had to wait until Friday so HR could be on the call too, greedy bastards. The ONLY thing that bothers me is that I told her many, many times my pends were out of my control, RARELY for blanks and that a lot of the old reports were useless because I didn't think a lot of them had even been edited. SHE AGREED WITH ME!! And PLEASE, you guys, don't take offense to that. I said some, not all, but this is what this company is making us do!! I've saved my QA reports for the past 6 weeks or so and every single one of them was 100%. It's just unbelievable to me that I got fired for doing my job. Unreal.

I got the call this afternoon. Finished my shift, laid down for a nap and phone woke me up hour and 15 minutes later. She was reading a script in a dismal voice and obvious what was happening, but it dragged on and on. Managed to say ok... A little over 9 years. Life as my daughter and I know it just ended. Thank goodness!! Moving desk out of living room not a minute too soon and maybe years too late. ...

Wonder If I'll Be Terminated Next

I've been working for MModal 2 years part-time. Other than the usual stuff, they've left me alone pretty much. Now all of a sudden I get an email saying one client complained I'm leaving too many blanks. Recently, I had about a week of horrible, scratchy, low volume dictations that were not even discernible in some places and I had to leave blanks. I think that's what they're referring to. Since then, I'm being audited every day, ...

through an email or did they at least have the decency to send you a letter or call? Or did you just try to start work and find yourself locked out of the system? I know they have to at least send you something telling you about COBRA if you had health insurance. I think my head is on the chopping block too, and part of me is really hoping that is the case. There once was a time when I would have just told them to go _____ themselves, turned on my heel and walked away w ...

I was so shocked to get my termination effective immediately and I did hear human resources would send me a letter but do you know what equipment needs to be returned. Just the computer or will they want the monitor, foot pedal, keyboard? I am sure this company will want it ALL back but forgot to ask. On the upside they pay you for the termination conference call. I always thought those terminated surely were not working their hours or had bad quality but I can assure you that is not the cas ...

Well after being put on 100% QA for 5 days, not passing an audit at 97.95% I was terminated today. This company is unbelievable. They not only knock you down, play with your mind daily, they set me up to fail, I told them about this doctor that I had critical erros on, that she was impossible to do, that I had sent all the work they sent me for her to QA after I did my best to try and get it done. But as I said I must of had 10 of her reports&nb ...

I got canned yesterday for not making over minimum wage. I meet over the minimum lines requirement, but still not enough for minimum wage for my state. We had also been running out of work a lot lately. I had one verbal warning over the phone a little over a month ago, no written warning, and no "performance management," and was scheduled for a mentoring session later this month...totally taken by surprise. I was hoping to hang on until retirement in 2 years, but with the drop in pay, increase i ...

Yes, got the call about a half hour ago. Guess I can collect now. I know others are being fired today too. Must say my TSM and QA were superb people and I know it is not their decision. I will come back and say more later but right now I need to settle down and think, take a long walk. There are other transcriptionist places I absolutely know will hire me, but I only want to work part time. This stinks. MModal is the most scrupulous, heartless, horribly ...
TERMINATED AFTER 9 YEARS
Mar 27, 2014
In 2005, I had been hired on by (then) MEDQUIST. It was wonderful. Started at 9.75 cents per character line, 65-word, plus spaces. They were 'glad' to get me. I sailed along year after year, and they seemed to like my work. NO COMPLAINTS. I worked hard, then received approval to work SUNDAY for 24 hours and Monday for 16 hours. This was tough, but I had to deal with weather/power issues, internet outage issues and enough work issues. I was working for a large acct for ...

To All Those Terminated I Feel Your Pain. A Year Ago

this week I was terminated, along with several others, from a different company. I was an excellent MT, as reflected in my reviews and monthly QA reports. I knew that something was coming, but never suspected how/what happened. I hated my account, I hated working on MModal platform, I just hated everything about my job and was so stressed I was physically sick many days, but I never missed a day of work. I can't tell you it has been easy. I still have not been able to find a j ...
MT Employment Opportunities After Being Terminated For Failing Audit

MEDSCRIBE-Aggressively Hired "hourly Editors", Terminated All 2 Wks Later
May 12, 2012
Quit job to take guaranteed hourly paid editor position with MedScribe (FL) 3 weeks ago. Recruiter promised huge volume of work, plenty of backup accounts on hourly pay plus CPL for transcribed lines. Was rushed through paperwork to start immediately, gave only 5 days notice to former employer (burned that bridge) for an hourly paid "sure thing". Never saw hourly pay; only 0.08 CPL for full transcribe acute care, and only to catch up an out-of-TAT acct they knew was bailing ...
