To those who are quitting: Why are you giving notice? - nuclear medicine

When I quit I will give notice because--sm - anon

first and foremost, I view it as a mark of professionalism. No matter what my employer is, I care about how I conduct myself and hope to do so in a professional matter.

While I absolutely hope to never work for Nuance again, I am not a prophet and do not know what the future has in store for me so should I need to seek employment with them, I would like to be in the re-hire category.

I am not sure if it is true of Nuance, but other companies have had it in the past where you would not get your PTO bank if you failed to give 2 weeks notice. I figure if I have made it this long, I am tough enough to last a measly 2 weeks.

Not giving notice also reflects badly on the person. You should always - give notice no matter how bad job is.

I quit MM thinking I would never go back but wanted their cheap insurance. Wouldn't hire me bac - since I gave no notice

and this is permanent. I quit 2 years ago and they still wouldn't hire me back.

I gave notice, just the professional thing to do, even if N isn't worth it, my NM - conscience will feel great

I gave no notice and would never consider re-hire at this hole of a company. I got my PTO pay with no problem and my conscience feels much better knowing I treated this place the same way they treated me. Nuance does not deserve any professionalism nor would they recognize it if it slapped them in the face. Do you think for one minute if you fail at this job you would be given any kind of notice before you are terminated? You will be shown the door in the amount of time it takes for your TSM to tell you that you are done. I had a job offer that stated I had to be able to start immediately. There was no way I was going to risk losing the wonderful job I have now, just to give this snake pit a notice.

I gave 2 days' notice. That way they can't - say I didnt give it, and its -sm

almost as satisfying as just walking off the job.

Also, even if you do give 2 weeks' notice, many companies just pull the plug on you within minutes of your notice anyway, regardless of the amount of time you gave. That way you win, as well. You can still claim you gave 2 weeks, and they'll have to scramble to cover you immediately, since they pulled the plug on you.

Even if you do give them notice and work the entire time, there's just no guarantee they won't find ways to badmouth you, so why even bother? My only care was to get myself OUT of there ASAP. In filling out resumÃ©s, I just make sure to give HR as my "supervisor" (since they change every other week, anyway), and let it go at that.

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 ...

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. ...

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. ...

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?! ...

Considering quitting Transcend w/o notice. I understand I will not be able to be rehired. In years past I quit MQ w/o working through my full 2 weeks too. (I know... BAD, BAD, BAD.) I am concerned though that if I go to work for a smaller company and they are bought out by one of these 2 (which seems to be a high probability) I could be screwed. In the field these days you have to have a FT job and try it out before you quit. Then you are trying to do both and get ...

If I work as an IC and quit without giving any notice, can the lady I work for legally withhold my paycheck and not pay my final invoice? I know as an IC we really do not have any rights with the labor board so if she does not pay me what would be my next course of action? I have never quit without notice but due to the circumstances she has left me without many options. ...

I have done some Team Lead and Acct Management work too. I was working 3 VR Editor jobs (I also have an online jewelry boutique) to make ends meet. I lost one of the jobs last week and need to replace it...don't mind VR Editing but prefer working with MTs (in the US). I really enjoy the challenge of getting blanks...goofy, right? I know that the jobs are few and far between - especially with Nuance and MModal. I wouldn't mind going back to Nuance but they will not give me the time ...

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. ...

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 ...

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? ...

I've been working as an IC for a small operation. There is no written contract, and in fact nothing was stated verbally about terms, conditions, etc. In keeping with the above ;) , they are disorganized and unprofessional, and I want out. In fact, I have already written my resignation notice. Another MT just up and quit the other day. I wish to do the same, even though I have never, ever done this in my life (I'm 46 and have been working since the age of 17).&n ...
