Fired from Spheris or Resign. HELP
I was told to resign or be fired. I do not know which to do. If I resign, I have no job. If I am fired, then I cannot use Spheris as a reference as my last employer. Also, if I am fired, I do not think I can collect unemployment. Can someone let me know if I resign, can I still get my unemployment. If I am fired, can I get my unemployment.
Thanks
My experience with Spheris isn't bad at all. I have been with Spheris sm
6 months and already have 40 hours PTO. I was shocked. Spheris is a great company. After 90 days I did get my sign on bonus and didn't even have to ask. There is soooooooooooooooo much that Spheris offer I wasn't even aware of. I am so glad that I didn't listen to the negative posts on this board in regards to Spheris because I am a happy camper.
I had the same experience with Spheris, but
I decided when I wanted to leave. I had a very difficult account with many ESLs. This account was not for a new MT with no experience. I never had the same dictator and could not keep up. I was saved because I used my experience and training from Andrews school to combat the nasty accounts they gave me. I fought back hard, but realized I did not need to fight hard to stay at Spheris. I gave them my 2 weeks notice and had 3 jobs waiting for me when I left. Another coworker, who was put on this same account, was fired. She could not keep up on this difficult account. I had no experience, but I paid for a good education and took my good education and went somewhere else. I had the last laugh. Guess what? I am good. I am meeting production and getting incentives at my new job. Don't take the crap. Move on. At Spheris, as a newbie, I made 0.55 cpl. Now, I make 8.5 cpl. GO ME!!!!
Any experience with Spheris?
Hello!
I am looking for some information about Spheris. Anyone with information on workload/pay/overall would be appreciated! Good or bad, I'd like to hear it!
I just had their recruiter contact me and I am looking to make a change from my current company.
Thanks!
Anyone who works PT for Spheris, can you tell me what your experience has been like, esp if you also
xx
Spheris was the worst experience of my life!
Horrible, HORRIBLE accounts, and no one to speak with if you encounter trouble - just voice mail! I didn't even give them 2 weeks notice because it was such a waste of my time, which I have never done before with any job that I've had. I wish you the best of luck in your job search. After 7 years of service, they should treat you better than that.
Anyone work for Spheris doing VR? Could you share experience, pay, line count etc..
Also, what are the benefits like i.e., medical insurance etc??
Agree.. What is up with Spheris..They hire new grads yet I have over 14 years experience in acute
care, multiple specialities, yet..they said I didnt meet the qualifications. WHAT???? Why arent they honest and tell the truth. Do not tell me I am not qualified when I have worked for two hospitals doing all work types including radiology for all those years. Their ad said at least one year of experience. I guess 14 did not count for anything. The funny thing was that the hospital I was working for at the time had just signed them on to do our overflow, having switched from MedQuist. I just find it ironic that they were hired by our hospital which I worked for and had experience at, yet, I was not qualified enough. What a joke!!
Hosp's. would HAVE to pay more if we could stem
by continuing to sound off to anyone in this country that will listen. Why should the US worker subsidize offshore companies by sitting and watching their futures in MT dry up?
No ESL's? Maybe a clinic, but never a hosp or MTSO.
In this business, it'd be rare to find an account/hospital/MTSO without ESLs. It's part of reality. And keep in mind that whitebread docs can be worse that ESLs, by far. If you REALLY don't want to do ESLs, cruise the clinics in your vicinity, interview each doc to listen to them speak (ideally get them to do a test dictation for you), and make them an offer they can't refuse.
Seriously, though, you might look for companies that have midwest accounts/are located in the midwest, as the ESL ratio often is lower in the midwest states.
And if that doesn't work out you might look into legal transcription. Anyone notice that there seem to be fewer ESL lawyers than doctors? Lol....
If a lot of MTs, hosp. personnel, & docs are on all
s
Yes, it came from hosp. And doesnt matter what

Go to hosp. web site & apply on line, then

hosp I worked for paid IC MTs $1.25/min for 2000 min/mo and
??
What I meant was, is the ESL account unbearable. You don't have to tell me name of hosp. Thx

1 hosp starts 7/16, but the only people getting that acct....sm
Are the ones who lost their main hospital on 6/3. Good for them. Not great for the rest of us. :(
Does anyone know what services the Hosp. of Univ. of Pa. uses or who to contact there for info of MT
work.
ho ho ho but the hosp can play Russian Roulette w/going to court with
Those medical records became cheaper for hospitals how? When they go to court with those expensive incorrect records and LOSE, wonder if they think it was cheaper?
If things don't work out,, the Diskriter FL Hosp position (sm)
Pays for downtime when work runs out and benefits are pretty decent.
Glad to hear things are better. Hang in there. I know how hard it can be... this profession just isn't what it used to be.
Good luck to you!!
hosp/clinics send work to U.S. company - outsource

My primary account is a hosp in new orleans so I'm wondering if we'll have more charts in a fe

I still feel like a team player of Spheris, as the shackle scars are still on my legs! Spheris was
Micromanaged to the microsecond, or ms! Horrible. And part of a team? Total opposite - part of a team as in prison.
They probably fired your sorry self!
mm
Oh? Fired again? nm

I do believe that if you are fired
but if you leave willingly, you cannot collect. Good luck.
I have NEVER EVER EVER been fired from a job
But maybe you have. I was just stating something and you felt the need to jump down my throat and on my back and stomp all over it. Who are you? Diskriter management maybe?
How about the AC that was just fired
because she would not be a rat? Your AC, other ACs and those in management will be there as long as there is an OSi. They cannot get positions any place else. One AC left, tried for months to get work, could not, so went back. Also, after reading your many goofy posts here, you should count your blessings and make OSi your home. Who knows, one day you may be a director.
Probably been fired from all - LOL
nm
What AC got fired at OSI?
Yep. I got fired too. sm
The guy was a real jerk.
Yes. I was one of them fired. sm
The guy who did it was a pompous sounding ass while the HR lady cried while she was on with us.
I can see why you got fired - MT
Very unprofessional
Usually when someone is fired SM
from any job, there's the story they tell everybody about why and then there is the truth. I know for a fact there is some step-by-step procedure they go by for quality problems and they give lots of chances to attain the 98%, including the full review of work with full feedback, just like when you started.
If she didn't go through all that, then it's likely she didn't work her schedule correctly and they really are not putting up with people who abuse the schedules.
Anyone can be fired for anything at any
time. Being an IC you have less protection from that than a FT employee. All she has to say is that she has enough FT'ers or coverage or whatever and doesn't need you any more.
Fired
You have my support. It is very frustrating to have deal with difficult employers. As much as I like being an MT, I feel 90% of the time in this business, it is a very THANKLESS job. You never get appreciation for what you do, only criticized from anything from your boss having a bad day, doing too much work, not doing enough, or even silly, petty things. Not only do we have to know a lot to do this job, but make ourselves available for our employers at a moment's notice, be willing to pick up the slack of other MTs not doing their jobs, and be thick skinned to put up with negative comments, ignorant, nasty bosses, etc. It's just unfair for people to be so cold-hearted in this business. You know, what goes around comes around.
Good luck to you!
If she fired you
in a tantrum and then reHIRED you within an hour, you most probably meet employee criteria, and she, most likely, is bipolar.
let go vs fired
If you are fired, at least in the past, you were not eligible for unemployment. I was told they were not firing me, just letting me go. So you decide.
you are sure fired up
or are just a plain ol hothead. Either way, there is no need to get so rude and snotty with everyone. Yes, I worked for MQ and, contrary to what you think, I did listen, and when it was the right time for me, I also left. I too have been at this 34 years, but I've lived in 6 different states, so I have had legitimate reasons for changing jobs. One thing I know, I've always conducted myself professionally, even when I had to tell a doctor or two off, and even here on these boards. I listen and I watch, not stick my head in the sand. I gave my current opinion of MDI and CB and stand by it, until my experience shows me differently. Hope you have defused now before your BP goes off the chart, and are happy in your new job. Remember, we're all in this together, even with our different opinions.
Yup, been fired before.
About six years ago, I was let go due to 'QA issues'. I never really got the full story on why I was let go, but at the time, I didn't really care much - I was so bummed.
Try to get in touch with your ex-supervisor and simply ask what the issues were that got you fired - explain that it's so you can learn from your mistakes. Then take some time, have a few beers (if you drink), bum around in your PJs for a day or two, and then get right back on and find something else. It may have just been that the speciality didn't suit you - try something else, like cardiology or psych.
Don't give up if this is really what you want to do. Keep at it and you'll find a place that suits you. Keep smiling!!! =)

already fired
Hey Flabbergasted...just got an email from another Webmedx ex-employee...it's all over and her boss is calling everyone to tell them...expecting my phone to ring as soon as they get to my last name in the alphabet....the account is gone and so are our jobs. Our beloved manager hand picked a few of her favorites to switch to the new account coming online...the rest of us have been kicked to the curb!
Don't you think everyone would already be *fired* sm
by now if this was valid? Maybe only the lower producers were let go, to provide more work for everybody else? That's the way it usually works when an account is lost at ANY company.
General Hosp...er General T-Tech
LOL
Don't imply you're worried at all. Just stating fact that Spheris does NOT allow a Spheris MT
work concurrently for MQ - no exceptions. MQ, on the other hand, does not have the same feelings as Spheris. Just all I had to say so that MTs aren't misled into thinking they can do the same "legally". Even went to the ropes on this issue with Spheris, as I was professional as well, and wouldn't share info, etc. The point they raised was that MQ is their direct #1 competition, and if I was typing for MQ and doing great work, that was in direct conflict of interest with Spheris' best interests. Guess which one I obviously stuck with!!
Thank you, Spheris recruiter! Anybody wanna place a bet that there are lots of Spheris
HELP WANTED ads on the job board?? So funny!! Out of the blue, Spheris, we love you!! Lets all run and apply NOW!!
Resign vs. Fired
If they fire you and you have enough weeks worked, you will get unemployment unless there are other circumstances. If you know you do not qualify for unemployment, then you might as well resign. If you use them as a reference, they can't say anything bad about you anyway, it's illegal.
All the MTs may be fired 05/10/2006
or soon thereafter--what about the call-in meeting they are said to be having this Wednesday for all the MTs? Does NOT sound good. (Glad I left when I did.) Looks like the offices in India will be getting more jobs as the American offices will be closing, I've heard, at the end of May.
If someone was fired in 2002,
how would they know what's going on in 2006?
Somebody asked who got fired
You know we can't give names on this forum but a person in tech support and her both got fired because she did not report him for something. I wish I could say more but can't. I don't know if you know her or not, she was not my AC and I know her only by name, all I know is what I heard through the grape vine.
Who is it? Was she fired or did she quit?
?
Thanks! I was starting to think I'd been fired!
