To the ones who have quit or been fired.

Did you apply for unemployment, did you get it, did you have to appeal? I have never lived off the system and figured I payed into it for my entire adult life, and have reached a point where I need financial assistance. I was asked to resign due to being unable to work due to physical inabilty on my part and am stuck, so I applied for it. Just looking for some good news from other MQ employees. ...

Well, like a lot of you out there I am struggling with VR and editing. I have worked at the same hospital for many years, I have tried to get into another position, does not look like that will happen. It is just a matter of time before they let me go. Do I wait and be fired and collect unemployment and then have to explain to prospective employers (outside of the MT field!!!) that I was fired and why OR do I quit with some dignity still intact?? My husband ...

Well, I was officially fired yesterday. Up until last summer, I was one of their top producers, never having an accuracy problem. The reason I got fired? I got sick. Early last summer, I let a UTI go for 10 days (lived off Rx strength OTC Pyridium) until I was severely septic and urinating almost pure blood and clots. I also had a kidney infection, kidney stones and bladder stones. Thought it was over. IIRC, the urinary organism was proteus mirabilis. I ...

Isn't it odd that being fired from MQ isn't a disgrace? Being fired from any other place would be total humiliation, but I don't think anybody here would ever look down on another MT who was let go. MQ doesn't discriminate. They justly fire bad MTs, but they also fire good MTs who are stuck with crummy accounts, accounts that constantly have NJA, and probably a ton of reasons that are beyond our control. ...

I was hired by company initials "P" under the conditions that my computer meet their specifications. I was told my computer met their specification and then offered employment. I accepted. Their technicians worked on my computer for 2 weeks straight and installed faulty software, and then I was told my system would not meet their specifications and I needed to have my computer XP deleted and reinstalled or buy a new computer. I had my computer checked out and was told my c ...

it really wouldn't be such a bad thing ...

I was fired. I started with Medquist in 1998. They fired me in 1997. I was hired and Spheris and became a Medquist employee after they bought Spheris. I was fired again today. I just hope Medquist eventually stabilizes and the employees are happy again. I hope I find something suitable for me. I wish the best for all. It's been one hell of a bumpy and uneven ride. Bon voyage to me!!! ...

If you have had a written warning on 3/31 and I am going to assume after a failing audit score on 1 report I did, is firing next?? Really can use input regarding this and unemployment, or really anything you can think of? ...

this may sound stupid, but how does one go about getting fired from this God-awful company?...i sit here in tears daily, and can't look for another job because i am tied to this desk 14 hours a day and not even making minimum wage...i want to be able to collect unemployment for just a few weeks until i can find a real company to work for... ...

does mmodal pay unused acrued pto. when do they pay you for work performed before being fired? ...

Has anyone been fired and able to draw unemployment from this ridiculous company? I just can't take it anymore, want to quit, but think if I can somehow draw unemployment that would be great for me. If I do not show up to work will I be let go? I know this seems ridiculous to be asking, but hey, these large do-not-care-a-bit-about-you companies bring out the worst in some of us. This one is definitely the worse company I have ever worked for, and it shames me to have to work ...

Does anyone know what would be grounds for getting fired by Nuance? ...

I just wanted to let those who are following my story over the last few weeks that they just fired me. Not sure what I'll do now. ...

in the middle of a Thursday... ...

So I've been going back and forth since the beginning of this "safety pay plan" getting around 99.5% to 100% for 2 weeks then falling off the grid at 98% (and once much lower), back on the grid, back off. I guess one week I'm an excellent MT and the next I totally suck. I am just so stressed thinking they are going to fire me. I am sure it would be a blessing in disguise if they did, but I'm not ready yet. I am my sole source of income and I'd mostly likel ...

I am a medical transcriptionist with over 15 years of experience, and I was fired today for low audit scores. I don't know why I am happy about this. I guess I am just relieved to get away from a company that picks apart their employees. What are they going to do when there is no one left? Ironically, I have worked in many big hospitals and while our reports were reviewed, this would have never happened working in a hospital. Does anyone know what is happening ...

It's obvious they're cracking down on us, nit-picking, etc., to what end? Everyone, myself included, seem to be getting less than 98%. Is it just to keep us on our toes, or to have ammunition to hold against us when the time comes to ship everything to India? ...

I have been targeted like crazy on audits, getting them every couple of days, and albeit there are some things I did wrong (had/has), I am getting marked for stuff like leaving a blank, sending to QA, and then marked wrong for the blank on a critical error saying I should have been able to find this. I could not hear it, so how could I find it? I should have just sent it to the client, but really felt that a fresh set of ears might heart what this mushmouth was saying. I guess I am ...

I was fired from diskriter because I had quality but not the quantity. ...

I was recently fired from my MT position because I moved to a different state. I was a full-time employee. I was never informed of such a policy and had actually moved to this state a few years ago when working with the same company. This was apparently a new policy they had come up several months ago. The kicker is that I informed my supervisor of my move and even provided my address and nothing was said until I moved. ...

I started with a new company yesterday. I got two hours of training on their platform. I was given five reports to transcribe. I have been transcribing for 30 years. TODAY, one day later, they told me I wasn't right for this client and they let me go. I cried all day. I was nervous about the new platform, jittery for a week before training, and loved the account. My corrections weren't that bad for a first day of transcribing on a new account.& ...

Well, I was up and fired in the middle of my work day today. The reason - I didn't do ENOUGH difficult dictators. Seriously? I have been doing this for 30 years, 13 years at this company, which has been having financial problems for the past 5 years. Outsourcing work to keep costs down, cutting all benefits among a few, and losing the majority of their accounts. I believe they are weeding out long-time employees to cut costs since we were still paid on a scale. &nb ...

I made more money on UE than this job. How can I get fired? I try. I disappeared w/out notice for 2 weeks. No one said 1 word to me. I don't always work my shift. If i'm sick of it, I quit. I never work overtime. FIRE ME ALREADY. ...

What is the cutoff score for getting fired? Anyone know? ...

Really...in the current situation that this software company disguised as an MTSO is perpetrating on its highly trained MTs..there is no other way out. We can earn min wage elsewhere without the STRESS of 99.5% QA hanging over our head and line counts AND a schedule that is guaranteed. I am out from this company as well...and now I am FORCED to get off my dead ass, my lack of confidence in my appearance, improve my MS Office software skills (which I am..and I am proud and surprised how easily ...

or at the end of the month. I am making appts like crazy, just in case... ...

I've been below the required 99% for over 12 months with QC of 10% or below. How long until they fire me? I've been a MT for a long time, but this job has been the worse. ...

and do part time people get bennies? ...

Posting on the main board to get more input. Seems Nuance MTs live in fear of being fired after all the audits and criticism from TSMs, but has anyone actually been fired? I know MModal fires from previous posts but NOT ONE have I read about Nuance firing anyone. Seems odd, yes? ...

Made an appointment with social security office. Already receiving TIAA-CREF payout (from divorce...waited 14 years for that) Will be getting more money than with MM without the headaches and pay cuts. And just in time, my audit score of 96.1 this month will be a FAILURE next month. Guitar lesssons, books, and coffee shops HERE I COME. ...
