anybody been asked to resign?? - this was suggested to me

Posted: Jun 07, 2015

i just ignored it for now but are they crazy, asking us to resign vs firing us? i wouldnt give them the satisfaction, they will have to kick me out if i am suddenly such a rotten MT.

feels like an SNL Seth & Amy segment of "Oh really?" Really.

Well, I have been told if I don't like it I can quit.... - I guess that is the same thing

[ In Reply To ..]
only much more rude. LOL. I have the same attitude as you....I will NEVER quit. I am NOT letting them get out of paying unemployment. Luckily I am in the position to do this, though, not everyone can. There really is nothing they can do to make me quit. OOW? I'll file for partial unemployment. Sh&^%t dictators? I'll send it all to QC with a thousand blanks. Yes, that is what it has come down to.

Why did they ask you to resign? - Worrying they are so blatant

You just have to wonder have all the TSMs been given a secret email to encourage us all to quit so they can justify offshoring to India or complete takeover by EMR?

And also of course Nuance does nothing without taking money off us, so that would save them if we don't file for unemployment. Shame on them.

Consistently? - dumbfounded

What exactly is their interpretation of consistently?

Sorry they are pulling this crap on you, but you are not alone. Many of us are walking a thin line too. I was just curious to know how thin that line is?

I hate it's happening to everyone... - sm

...it's happening to me, too...
My FIESA scores were consistently 99.6 and above until the last 3 weeks or so. Since then, though, I've suddenly begun getting only 1-2 reports audited and they are each something with a 1.0 error, short reports, and my QA percentage has fallen fallen fallen! On top of that, just feeling so discouraged about it all really messes with my line count as I just don't feel the heart for my work as I used to.

Same thing here - Rushlover

Suddenly my QA also has fallen way down like never before. Have to wonder "Can that be LEGAL???" but they have their methods of breaking us down. What a horrible way to treat your employees, Nuance!!

Ridiculous deduction points. - smfh

A 0.25-point deduction for coreg instead of Coreg, even though spelling correct and dosage matched. smfh.

Just be lucky you didn't get a 3.0 critical like I did - when I neglected to lower

[ In Reply To ..]
case a drug that VR put in upper case.

How the heck is that at 3 point deduction??? - How can the even justify that?

I would have challenged that one--sm - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
That is just a grammatical error and should be scored at 0.25. (My honest opinion is those should just count as 0.10 or 0.05 but that is just me).

I did challenge...TSM just said ALL drug-related - errors are "critical." Ugh.

[ In Reply To ..]
Oh yeah, that patient is going to DIE...I didn't catch VR's error.

Your TSM is wrong. I have capitalized generics or vice versa before--sm - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
and it was just counted was 0.25. Sorry that you had that problem, it is beyond ridiculous.

Inside Fiesa itself - there is a scoring chart

[ In Reply To ..]
and it says capped generic or uncapped brand is a MINOR error. Just look it up. (is there something else to this story? which drug was it?)

Thanks, I found that and I am going to point that out to my - TSM, and no, nothing

[ In Reply To ..]
else to the story....my TSM is CLUELESS. I don't have one of the good ones, unfortunately. He is always on a power trip. I think he has it in for me because I ALWAYS email him with every error I don't agree with. But now that I have that info, nothing he can say. So thanks!

They would rather - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
have you resign so they can get out of paying unemployment. Make them fire you. If you really feel they are going to fire you, you should be saving documentation to another e-mail besides work e-mail, particularly if you have had good reviews in the past.

saving documentation - Toni

[ In Reply To ..]
One thing I learned from M*Modal and Nuance is that you copy every single document into a personal email. When I was let go from each of these horrible places, as soon as I was off the phone with them my log ins were invalid; they shut me out even before they called to let me go! I had no problem filing for unemployment! I have totally lost my will to transcribe any longer!

same here, no access to any records the day they called - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
I have moved on to a great new career and am happy once again. It has been over 6 months since transcribing, and I still don't want to sit at my computer even to read e-mail, etc. I do it all on my phone. I think I have PTSD from these big MTSOs!! So glad I found something else!

I haven't been asked to resign, but they took me off an account before I even started, and it's been over a week, and I'm still waiting to be reassigned. Something is fishy. Why would they have me complete the onboard training and then not put me on an account?

I say we all send Ms.Thing an e-mail with RESIGNATION in the subject line. That could be her Christmas bonus. If we'd all stuck together the very first time they cut our pay, we might have a leg to stand on now. Screw it. I'm having a big ol frosty margarita! ...

I have a bit of a dilemma. I took on a 2nd job with a very nice (albeit small) facility.

It's all completely foreign to me and I am not making any money (about $3/hour at this rate). I would like to let her know that I will no longer be working fo ...

It is with much emotion that I had to turn my resignation in today with the Q. I have been with this company since it was TL back in 1994. I have seen everything, good and bad to worse.

I am very, very ill and lost my medical benefits back in 2002 when my health as well as my DH's became bad. I have been lucky in the C ...

Evidently it is an unwritten rule at my company that when you are asked to work hours outside of your shift, or over 40 hours, it is a given that you are to do so with no extra pay. Should I bring it up? Am I the only one? We all work 40 hours on my account, some nights, and some weekends. Always have. Now the AM is e mailing on the weekend asking us to get on there and get caught up. Extra money is never mentioned - never paid, although if more than 40 hours is on ...

I ran into a former co-worker. She asked what I was doing and I told her I am doing medical transcription from home. She said her daughter is taking an online course in MT but it is slow going. She asked me a few questions about the field. Mainly she wanted to know if there is work out there. I didn't want to be negative so I said yes, there's work out there, even though in my heart I know her daughter is going to have a tough time getting work. At l ...

At that time, a few of you asked me if I could tell you where I was going and I didn't feel I could at that point. I have now been with Saince, Inc and I can tell you without a doubt I made the right choice for me. The training was actually "hands-on." The trainer explained and showed us how to do something and then he turned his computer ove ...

There was a discussion going on below about the cost of transcribing and a person asked me if I would like my own medical record to be transcribed if a person only making 4 cents a line transcribing my own medical records.

a living. When I told them medical transcription, the man said he owned a court reporting business, and he could set me up with Indian transcriptionists. I could e-mail them my work, and they would sent back letter perfect reports. They charge a much cheaper rate, and I could keep the difference. After I wiped up the mess from spitting out my Coke, I politely informed him that I did not believe in offshoring. ...

This story has been popping up in the news lately, and I find it very distressing! How low will a company stoop to find a way to practice hiring discrimination?

Most likely I would lose my cool and laugh in their faces, but still no way would I ever do that. WHAT an invasion ...
