Yes we are on the same page, you used better words tho. haha
That would be awful! Wait to give notice.
If QA only gave you 2-3 jobs daily till off full QA, you may never get off QA before you'd be forced to look for another job anyway. If that initial time isn't paid time, you're out whatever money you would have made at your current job during that time. Keep something to fall back on, it's safer.
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.
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!
But then you would be "in the know" and
they cannot have that. Personally I like being left alone because the more contact I have with them, the more I hate the company and my job!
How are you "in the know".....
Just curious how you are in the know. They are definitely keeping within TAT, so it seems.
Definitely need the Sted's Derm&Immuno Words and a Path&Lab Words to do derm. Lots of weirdness!

I live "in the sticks", too....sm
and I use satellite for my internet connection. The only problems I have had in the 2+ years that I have had it are connectivity problems when the weather is extremely bad (in which case, one should not be on the computer anyway) and I have had 3 service calls, mainly related to wiring and improper initial installations issues. Other than that, it has worked well for me. However, there are some companies who do not accept satellite....JLG and TRS come to mind, although there are probably others. You just have to check out the ads and go from there. Best to ya!
living "in the sticks"
I too live where there is no DSL or cable option. I use wild blue satellite. It is fairly affordable, though more expensive than DSL, but it works great - I started out downloading with dial up, and the difference is wonderful. You can Google search wild blue to check out the service closest to you.
Oops typo! meant "in there"

go back to my message "In the Know" and click on the

BTW I meant "In transcription I have" sorry for typo.
I guess you both hit a nerve with me here and my fingers went faster than my brain. Sorry!

Lucky at-homers' - no "in-office" abuse
It's a nasty tradeoff: Work from home and receive less pay and benefits, or work at the office and receive higher pay and benefits while being berated, verbally abused and micromanaged at the office.
Screw the benefits - I'll take a peaceful life ANY day.

According to a friend, awful, awful,
Low pay, bad accounts etc..
Haha Hey, I know! ....
I'm not the pro-Spheris or pro-MQ cheerleader everyone thinks I am.
There are some items that could definitely use some tweaking or revamping!
Oh ok...haha....sm
I was about to say Hey, where is my downtime pay? But that sounds like you have a great set-up with your job....at least you know you will get some sort of pay. Too bad everyone doesn't get that!
HaHa
Haha!!

haha
Sorry, but I thought I was the only one living in BFE...LOL.
Haha
Medquist is now owned by Indians. I think people just left before they were let go down the road.
haha
...
Sure, come here and keep it quiet. haha sm
haha, I think she just did, on this board!

funny haha??
Actually the funny thing was that there was always just one I like them post - not that you would not use your name. I am glad you had no bad experiences, like I said that is one. No personal problem here - I put my running shows on some time ago. Sorry you took things so personally - was not my intention.
haha - if it says "USA", then it's probably
x
LOL HAHA LMAO, etc.
Funny how all the people who claim to think VR is the greatest, simplest thing since the microwave also come back later to state that they have alternate sources of income. Based on their postings, I suspect some of their other income comes from writing fiction.
HaHa...you are contradicting yourself
You just said that you were supposed to start working around noon the other day. Why would you have to send an email saying that you would be starting late if you don't have a schedule? You are contradicting yourself.
I am done with the back and forth with you. If you like working for them, good for you. ICs are not supposed to be locked into a schedule like an employee. If you were truly an IC, there would be no need to email anyone to tell them that you were going to be starting 'late'.
The only reason an IC should have to email them is if they were not able to work at all on a particular day.
They are breaking the law and they will be dealt with. Me and one other person in this thread have worked there and been treated like an employee when we were ICs. I am sure there are others.
HAHA DUH...Guess what?
Those MTSO recruiters take valuable time to sift through hundreds of applications to try to pick out the most qualified, best 'fit' for an account. At what point do you feel that perhaps someone of perhaps a little less experience but a lot more flexibility didn't have her application tossed off the pile to make room for YOUR just-for-curiosity application?
You waste people's time, resources and money when you apply willy-nilly just to see 'what's out there' when the job market is so desperate right now.
So, I'm afraid that VERY mature DUH, HAHAHAHA is back on YOU, my fellow MT.
I'm not the one wasting everyone's time applying for jobs I really don't want when I'm happy where I'm at.
Haha! I can too! ANY defense at all of such
And might I just add, what slimy little WORMS all suits really are! They sell their integrity and their souls for their do-nothing jobs in an already top-heavy industry. Considering the mood of their workforce these days, I'd actually be SCARED to be one of them right now.
Yes, MQ has known all these years. My typo!! Haha

20% increase in production - haha!
haven't they been repeating over and over to you that you WILL see a 20% increase in production RIGHT AWAY!! after you conquer DQS then they're going to throw ASR at you and swear up and down that you'll have a 25% in production and they're going to cut your baseline rate by 20% to become a Medical Editor -- doesn't that sound just peachy!! i recalculated my last check with my MT work and my ME work and it came out to be $50 less because of the 20% decrease on my baseline rate for the honor of doing ME work (i have until 10/1/05 before the cut takes place). Oh, but you have your choice of doing 100% MT work and keeping your baseline rate, but guess what you'll be getting the docs that the voice recognition system can't do, therefore, you will probably see a 25% decrease in production. Heck, now as it is, the VR program can't pick up the little words like an, and, in, etc right and it's even leaving out very, very clear words that a very, very clear dictator is saying, so you figure how you're going to have a 25% increase on production when you're pecking nonstop on the keyboard like when you first started typing on a manual typewriter?? Tell me again, how grateful we're supposed to be for working at MQ? And, yes, I know I can go to MTJobs.com and find another job, but you know what, there's principles and if we just walk away from how we're being treated we're just going to be treated like that at another MQ-like company. Something needs to be done so they know that we don't appreciate being treated like someone with a 5th grade education.
haha (but not really funny, it is sad). You can do so much better...(no message)
xx
Haha ... you're funny ... lol. nm
haha - actually I kinda' like it better as a DO-DO list! nm
.
Thanks so much for you message...haha...just curious
since they expect perfection do they pay okay? THANKS!!
Haha! all too funny! sounds
like they require no experience on the executive level as well!
question - they don't pay for headers but who's to say they really don't charge for them?
no idiot, been there and they suck haha
Let me know when you wanna play with the big people. On one job, I make $23/h plus incentive. Full benes. 20 weeks PTO/yr. Second job REAL IC pays 11 cpl including headers/spaces. Now, who is jealous? Not that you would admit it. LOL. Now, go make your hard earned sucky money LOL
Haha! LMAO! Right! What is PHASING?????nm
nm
Yes, here you go, toodle-loo and fly a kite! Haha, nm
nm
Haha!! Brilliant move!!
I did the same thing once when I worked in-house. The cherry-picker ended up being written-up. That's the way it should be. The good employees should have a fair shake of things. Too bad people like sm will defend them. Yes, revenge is sweet LOL. Justice!
haha! Good one... no you got it wrong sm
I typed 200 lines an hour easily.........not slow. You sound like a salaried TTS'er or the owner. That's why there are always mixed reviews. The relatives and people with skin in the game post positive information.
haha, good luck, you'll need it!
zz
haha, exactly the same for me...no work, no one cared..(no message)
xx
haha, you are the one who sounds angry and bitter...
Don't worry about me or what you think I should do or need to do. I still have every right to express my opinion on this board, and you again are being rude and typical of 'your' profession.
Again, I believe medical care should not be a business. That sounds ludicrous to me. People without insurance cannot have access to health care...and people like you do not care.
We get it already, now perhaps you can go bother someone else. You are really starting to get repetitive and rude.
Teehee!!!! HAHA LOL! I feel like I am treated that way sometimes. sm
As for how I know my accuracy...
I have QA bonuses. You have to pull up 99% or better on audit to get it AND send under a certain percentage to QA in full.
NO I am NOT the only OP specialist we have. If you don't see OPs it is probably because they go to us first and if we finish, you don't have any of them in the general pools.
Haha -- took me awhile, but I finally got it .. funny. nm
Haha yen, love your post and agree completely with what you say!
