It is just plain courtesy...
I'm well aware (as I'm sure most ICs are) that you don't need permission to take a few hours off or a day off but it is just common courtesy to request it off. I requested this Sunday off because I will be out of town for the day, I know my company cannot say no but I did commit to working Sun-Thurs and I can't change my Sunday plans so I have agreed to work extra this week and a few hours tomorrow morning. Again it is just common courtesy to pull your share and to try to be accomodating should you need time off.
I know. Is it too much to ask for a little common courtesy!
Many times I ask myself why I stay in this business because I feel it is one of the most under-appreciated, disrespected professions to be in. I don't understand why they don't have a whole course in med school on transcription practices.
I mean come on - have some common decency. How hard can it be! Is it too much to ask for:
No loud noises in the background!
No shuffling papers!
No saying 2-3 words and sitting there for 30-45 seconds!
No ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh!
No repeating yourself over and over!
Dictate ALL of the dadgum demographics!
Spell unusual names of people and places!
Include first names of physicians (especially when you know there are 3 doctors with the same last name in your hospital)!
Say diagnosis for 1 and diagnoses for more than 1!
Don't have a several-minute conversation with someone while dictating!
Say who you are!
Don't mumble!
Speak clearly and at a regular pace!
People hear what we do and think it's so easy! NOT! We are definitely underpaid for the crap we have to put up with!!!!
Okay, I'm done venting (for now) LOL.
I have been treated with the utmost courtesy
and consideration since I started. I have had some trouble hitting my line count, and I have not been harrassed or threatened once. I'm getting my lines now, and I'm glad that everyone hung in there with me. I'm part-time, and don't miss the nights or weekends at all. No place works for everyone, but Amphion is definitely worth considering. I've never had an equipment problem, they pay on time, and they leave you alone during the day to work. So far, so good.
they lack common courtesy
unfortunately
Another paycut courtesy of AHDI...
the blows to our industry keep coming.
Link is from AHDI site:
Agree with Patti. MTOS sends 1099 as courtesy,
x
I didn't even receive the courtesy of an e-mail, phone call, etc. sm
I thought the test was very easy. I've got 18-years of experience, sent a cover letter (that I spent an hour on) in addition to my resume and got not response whatsoever. The least an MTSO could do is say, Thanks, but no thanks. Daily applications, cover letters, and testing without so much as an email is beyond frustrating!
Notice is a courtesy, not a rule and they don't give you notice when they fire you
Giving a 2-week notice is common courtesy, and in most all my jobs, I have given them that courtesy; however, a company never gives someone notice when they are firing them. In my opinion, if a company does not treat their employees right, they do not deserve to get any notice at all.
As a matter of fact, I just left a company without notice. I felt horrible about doing it to my team but not to the company. While they never messed up on my pay, I was under constant stress. They treated several other people horribly and also changed all the terms of my employment contract within months of hiring me, which was going to cost me $800 a paycheck. I am the major breadwinner for a family of five and couldn't hang around a second longer losing that kind of money.
The only reason you would not want to quit without notice is if you want to use them as a reference and/or want the chance to go back to them in the future. I was advised by a recruiter that you should never put anything on your resume that is less than a year, so you really don't want to use them as a reference anyway, and you certainly don't want to go back to them.
Messing with someone's money is a big NO-NO, especially when they are costing you $400 for a second time. Heck no, I wouldn't give these people notice. There are some great companies out there hiring right now.
Feel free to contact me by email if you would like some more detailed information about the companies I narrowed my search down to. I was very sceptical about trusting another company with the bad luck I've had (just as you have) in the last few years, but I think I finally found somewhere I can be happy at for a long, long time (of course only time will tell, but I'm feeling very optimistic).
:) Best of luck to you!
