I would just give my 2-week notice, state the reason you are leaving.
Sorry to hear your troubles.
The only good thing about OSI is when you give them your notice that you are leaving!
He wasn't familiar with QA either, unless it was leaving
your blanks blank and being anal retentive about commas. He worked for my company too until we all complained about him.
Nice people, can be low on work especially in the early part of the week SM
Be warned, they don't pay for normal reports.
2-week notice
It seems if you give a 2-week notice, companies are pretty forgiving... I would give it a try.... the worst they can say is No... or the best they can say is Yes!! You don't know until you try! Good Luck!
2-week notice
It is something you have to be prepared for. It has happened to me once, and then my last employer told me in an e-mail that was obviously a normal how valuable I was and would be missed, and added in the line below and would you like today to be your last day. I nicely replied saying no, I was fully prepared to work the final 2 weeks and promised I would put out quality work.
When you put in your 2 weeks, you don't really know what is going to happen. Do you have PTO saved up they have to pay you anyway in case this happens?
HOW MANY MTs GET 2-WEEK NOTICE ...SM
They give MTs a 2-week notice when things aren't to their liking or a new hiree doesn't catch on, don't they? Don't theyyyyy? WHEN TURTLES FLY!!
I have never understood this 2-week notice protocol (although I have always given a company that consideration when quitting) - when they're free to hire/fire at will and specificy so in their contracts/handbooks but on the same page require you to give a 2-week notice. Who are THEY? BS!
Who gives 2-week notice?
I feel that even when you've been done wrong by a company (depending of course on how bad) you should still give notice and work for the final 2 weeks. I'm curious what you all feel about this.
I don't think this is over-hiring, I think they are leaving the OT on too long. (sm)
I have 2 accounts and this is the only time I ever run out, when OT has been offered on the weekend.
I left before without 2-week notice and
Give them a call. If you were a good MT in terms of production, they will have no problem taking you back.
To MT who emailed me about 2-week notice
I gave a 2-week notice to avoid any hassle and not burn bridges. It sure was a long 2 weeks but I just played it safe. Good Luck!
Give a 2-week notice, but work less
therefore, you will not be out of much money if they indeed do not pay you. Also, if you leave, be well informed that you probably will not make what you are making now at any other company right off the bat. You said you have been at this place for years, so you will have to build up your income again and pay. Sad to say, but they probably have people who can do the job at less money now and are willing to sacrifice a good employee to have a bigger cut of the pay that they can get cheaper. I wish you the best, but I do not think it is personal. I believe it is business and you generate too much income away from them. Good luck and I hope you find another good home.
I stand by my opinion. If OP had given her 2-week notice, sm
then the new recruiter could be assured she would be starting work on that new account. It appears that the OP is just letting him hang. I wouldn't blame him if he dropped her completely and instead found someone he can count on.
Did Webmedx honor your 2-week notice? sm
I'm on good terms with Webmedx and think it's a great company. I have an opportunity that I'm probably going to take, and I would give a 2-week notice to Webmedx, of course.
My concern is that when you give a notice some companies don't honor that themselves and instead tell you to go ahead and leave early. Has this ever happened to you with Webmedx?
Please respond only if you left on good terms with the company when they gave Webmedx a 2-week notice. The question doesn't apply to those who resigned without a 2-week notice to avoid getting fired or were terminated.
I'm thinking Webmedx is an honorable company and would let me work my 2 weeks, but with the state of the economy, I am naturally concerned about the possibility of being without 2 weeks of pay.
Thanks in advance!
I won't bother giving a 2 week notice sm
when I leave. They give us last minute notices to get our lines caught up or else whether it be 9 am or 11 pm so it serves them right to get last minute quit notices.
I accepted their offer and gave a 2-week notice
Keeping my fingers crossed on this one. It really can't be worse than my present job.
Have to LOL, wasn't it last week that people (sm)
were griping about the KS cheerleaders? I think there are several happy KS-ers on the board.
I agree with your point about the hospital platforms. I think that's why there are so many different experiences with KS expressed. Depends on what platform and account they're using.
That wasn't that long ago. Just contact the recruiter again.
s
Um, I specifcally said I've been there long time so wasn't sure about sm
the starting PTO; wasn't trying to pretty anything up. As for BCBS and dental - personally where I live, it is a great plan. I'll stick to my guns on that. As for the lower deductible last year, did you not join the BCBS health calls to discuss WHY that happened?
I testing for MT companies wasn't so long and tiring
I want to change jobs, but the testing for a new job is so long and tiring. I feel like most of the employment tests i've taken are too lengthy. Also, my job runs out of work often, so I have to flex time to make up the work, and by the time I'm finished wasting my life away on the computer waiting for the jobs to trickle down, I'm too tired to take a test.
I understand the need for testing. I wish the tests could be condensed down.
Just venting.
I meant know where. Long week. LOL
.
Not the one I am thinking of. There was a very long thread this week
from an MT who was fired and this had to do with the fact that MT should have been fired but still a long thread developed about it. Think it was the beginning of the week or something like that.
Call now. A week is certainly long enough to wait. nm
s
web site says MT-s go through a 28 week training process. That's a long time!
.
Tested with TT last week. Does anyone know how long it usually takes for them to response back.
I need a job...yesterday... I've been applying like crazy but cannot find anything worth taking. I'm getting pretty desperate but still not enough to take 3 cpl for VR but check back next week LOL
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!
Not just this week, a long term problem. Nice people, good benefits, but
nm
That wasn't my experience there. I wasn't on that kind of all-inclusive acct, either. nm
s
you have to pay for the footpedal ($106).nm
xx
Footpedal
If I remember right MQ uses Docqscribe? The company I work for also uses this. I went to the Express Scribe web site and they have all the instructions on how to get your foot pedal to work with Express Scribe. My pedal works with both depending on which program I have open now, very happy about that!
Thanks - can you use a footpedal? nm
nm
footpedal
Thanks so much for the advice. So is a USB footpedal different than a wav pedal? Just want to make sure before I look on ebay. I guess I will look it up on Google and see what they have to say. Thanks for the help!!
Just a footpedal.
TransTech supplies the footpedal.
ended it
If you don't think you are selling yourself cheap then what business is it of anyone else to tell you? Not mine. If you are happy with what you make that is all that matters. I understand.
But it sounds like you have benefits that would amount to a lot of money. That means a lot. Health ins. for less than $100 per month. That is worth so much. Keep bragging and letting me know how great Transtech is because you are letting me know that yes there are good MT jobs out there. That gives me hope to know there are good companies.
ended up almost 2400
So what? You are a critical person. So what? Just because my post may be sloppy due to trying to hurry doesn't mean I am a bad transcriptionist. However, your nasty post speaks volumes about what kind of person you are.
Can I ask..where you ended up?? Any other suggestions out there.
Boy, it's almost impossible to find a decent company these days..
I ended up at Transtech...sm
I am considered a rehire, so if I ever wanted to I could go back to MW, but don't see that happen, at least not at this time.
As far as I know, the only equipment they provide is a footpedal....sm
and the software, so you'd have to provide the rest of the equipment (computer, references books, etc.) Their website is www.gimtnet.com
Did you use the footpedal setup wizard?
If they ask about sending back the footpedal
you could wait 3 weeks, then tell them make a promise it is in the mail, then wait 3 days and email them and tell them you couldn't find their address but thought it was in Timbuktu as you spoke to someone there recently, then .....
I was hired and started in 1 week. That is not a long set-up time. When I started with our local h
I needed to get a physical and go through orientation at the hospital which is only given two times per month. This is a 900-bed hospital, so it cannot be an unusual process. MQ took 2 weeks. KS took 1 week. SoftScript never got me started even after repeated calls and emails.
I have only been with KS for 9 months but would never put them in the same catagory as the others you mentioned. They are the best company I have worked for, and unfortunately, I have bounced around a little in the last 5 years.

can you tell me why you are leaving WMX. Am thinking of leaving too. nm

How ironic!! Game just ended. Sox won.
c
I did, too, but I ended up working for YOG until the Squid ate it. nm
x
right; and I did not quit my old job, ended up staying with my old job.
nm
Anyone worked for FastChart and no longer need your 9-pin footpedal.
What will you sell it for?
My footpedal worked. I have an Infinity pedal.
The tech dept. is really nice, perhaps you should call them as listed on the testing site. They may be able to help. Good luck!
Wanted to say thanks for all your back and forth here. I ended up with several resumes looking for
I guess if you slam a company on here, everyone already knows you are a disgruntled ex-employee with no skills and know that there are openings available. I appreciate as we have so many new accounts coming in and just starting. I really needed the extra ICs. WOW This is awesome!!
Mine ended at the end of the month, then COBRA took over. nm
