No one ever gave me 2 weeks notice when I was let go
so why do we owe anyone this courtesy?
I've always given 2 weeks notice
and worked until that 2 weeks was completed. Never was dumped. I don't like to burn bridges just in case I might need them again one day!
Always OFFER 2 weeks notice if at all possible
I recently gave my 2 weeks' notice at the national I'd been with for a couple of years. In my letter I simply stated that because of recently being moved to a new account, I could not afford to work due to having to absorb 100% of the learning curve expense, as my paycheck was cut by almost 50% due to learning a new account/new specialty. I expected them to give me the option of leaving immediately, so I had another job lined up. However, they called and asked what they could do to make me change my mind. I thought about and called back the next day and let them know what I'd would work for me, and I'm happy to say that I'm still there and very happy. I had a new job lined up and had even started before I gave my notice, though, as I always like to get my ducks all in a row before I start shooting. : )
Good luck with your decision. I know how hard it can be.
No reasons. Give 2 weeks notice.
They will probably let you go immediately anyway.
Never give anyone more information than is absolutely required in any situation. You owe them no explanation, either legally or morally.
I would give minimum of 2 weeks' notice
and would not want to burn any bridges so would let them know I would be willing to work a little after that if they got in a pinch but would not take the usual amount and only in an emergency type situation. Have been in this biz long enough not to burn any bridges and keep all contacts if possible - you NEVER EVER know when you might need work again. Good luck!
Does the first company require 2 weeks notice?
If yes and they opted to waive it in your case, they should pay you for the two weeks. You were only following their rules. Good luck.
True. This is at least the 3rd one since the beginning of the year.
:+
I think you should behave professionally and give 2 weeks notice. sm
I just think it is tacky to not give notice even though you feel they have been worse than tacky to you. Professional behavior makes you look good and feel good. Feel free to flame me to a crisp!
I gave two weeks notice... but stopped doing their work FIRST
Since they refused to give me a raise after 7 years of loyal service to 3 doctors full-time, i gave me 2 weeks but didn't do their work in my 24-hour TAT window because I was SO p*ssed. I got it done "on my time" at that point. I have a hot head i can't help it... plus it was a huge slap in the face when not only they weren't giving me a raise, they expected my paychecks to decrease because they were mad they were paying for templates! we seriously were like a little family... that was three months ago and im STILL hurt about it...
You can give 2 weeks notice, but be ready to leave right then if they suggest it.
Good luck to you!
Oh, and I notice you have posted ONCE as JK???...
Once you give notice and quit working, how many days/weeks/months
are you covered by your medical/dental insurance? My employee handbook does not mention this. Is there a "standard" period of time that you remain covered? TIA for your reply.
someone posted a few weeks ago
but i cannot find the post, a pasted piece on how to know when to keep your job vs. look for another job. Seems like it was from Harvard or some higher institution of learning....can anyone help me find it? I think my daughter needs to see it. thanks.
YES! I figured it out! A few weeks ago I posted a question SM
about Dictaphone EXSpeech, my wave volume on my pc's master volume controls kept turning down automatically after each VR job and I couldn't figure out why. Well, after much research, having both the tech people at the hospital where I work and the Dictaphone/Nuance tech support people telling they had never heard of that problem, I figured it out.
And since someone on here had told me it was a quirk with Dictaphone, I wanted to share because I thought it my help her out too. When you are in a document in Word Client Correction Editor, you hit F2 and that is your volume control, make sure you turn it all the way up, click okay and bingo it's fixed. Apparently, that particular volume setting in Word Client is connected to the master wave volume control on your PC. If it it is at the lowest setting, then your master volume control will reset after each job. If it is turned all the way up, that is your master volume control will stay.
Excuse my excitement, but it was driving me nuts having to manually turn up my volume with each job. As many MTs know, one little annoyance can wreck a whole day!
It is my guess you are the same person who posted a few weeks ago that MQ had been purchased. Nothi
it is my guess nothing will come of this.
Do an archive search - good info posted a few weeks ago.

Well, there's 52 weeks in a year so that's not a bad sm
salary for what amounts to part time work, even considering self-employment tax - home office deductions, mileage, equipment, etc. It beats slapping burgers at McDs!
I had by 10 year old done at 2 weeks and
my 9 year old had her first set done at 6 months and she wanted her second set at age 7 so we went ahead and did it. Now she has bragging rights because my oldest is afraid to do it again, lol.
Accepted a job with a new company, gave two weeks notice to my old company..
Old company, let me go before two weeks was up. New company, said they were having trouble getting me set up and my equipment ready, but they would pay me while I waited. It's been a month, still no check from new company even though I was told it was "in the mail." I have no income and am at a loss.
I have a signed offer letter from the new company, contracts, etc. I applied for unemployment, but old company is saying I quit and technically I am currently employed with the new company! New company is not returning calls or answering email.
What should I do!?!?!?!
I started sending my resume out today, but the process of getting a new job will take at least two weeks and I need money now to catch up on what I'm behind!
so far no one has posted they've made 100 grand a year. nm

In the beginning ........... there were NO
nationals ..........
I was beginning to think it was just me...sm
I see these kinds of questions so often. I was beginning to think everybody worries about this junk.
I don't see any of that in the beginning.
I thought, from your post, that you were an IC who failed to understand basic economics.
In the beginning there were a lot of
bugs with Vista. Also, if what the MTSO has is compatible with their clients, why upgrade and possibly loose clients???
I'm beginning to wonder if that's all there is left is
crap dictation. Most of us say we're doing the crappy dictation and ESLs. So the good stuff is really going overseas or to VR? Or are there people here who get the good stuff all the time, which is why they make good money and we don't?
As I stated right at the beginning....
If it were ME, I would be blaming myself. Each and everyone of us are responsible, one way or another, as to what happens in our lives. Too many people over the past so many years find it much easier to place the blame elsewhere. That is one of the problems with our society. I was "accused" of being an over-protective parent as my child grew up, but guess what, he never, ever even came close to an incident such as that, or close to being kidnapped or any of the other things going on in the world; didn't fall down steps; wasn't involved as a passenger in a car accident, wasn't around drug users or "bad" people, because I PAID ATTENTION...I didn't allow accidents. Accidents are only LACK OF ATTENTION and lack of common foresight!
Also, my "over-protectiveness" did not in any way inhibit my child's growth. He is a Gunnery Sargeant in the Marine Corps and handles great responsibility well and has the foresight and the attention needed to prevent accidents!
As for the driver of that car, I'm not trying to "take their side"....I'm just saying we don't know what the circumstances were....my goodness, we have all run over something in the road at one time or another and when the weather is inclement or it is dark, sometimes you don't know what it is. I would certainly hope that if they knew it was a child, of if they find out through newscoverage that they ran over a child, that they will come forward. I'm sure that at least 99.9999% of people out there will not willfully run over anyone. Perhaps he/she looked down at the dashboard or the left rear window for just that one second and felt a thump as he car moved on. Probably wondered what it was but had no idea whatsoever that it was a child....why would any driver in their right mind think that a 2 year old was out on the highway at 2:00 AM or midnight or whenever it was????? 
No, definitely no keto in the beginning of it.
I have listened to this dang thing 10 times at least and at a bunch of different speeds..... no clue on this one.
2000 is only the beginning
Believe me, that $2000 is only the beginning. I do feel for these people but many of them are only used to hand outs and they will be getting them left and right. Lets see how many of them stand in line for a job. I heard that WalMart will hire any evacuee, no matter what. I wish they would report how many have been hired thus far. I was watching Fox news the other day and one of the guys they were talking to said something along the lines of "They aint helping us at all, its like they shipped us all on slave boats again" He then said the F word, which Fox didn't see coming because you could hear it plain as day. Now that is the state of mind of many of these people. Give me, give me. The welfare system has tought many that the government will take care of them, they do not have to take care of themselves. Now I am not talking about all the evacuees just the ones that are not used to fending for themselves.
Okay, said what I had to say. This just all gets to me.
I do agree with you, too. In the beginning
I found the posts hilarious as well. But I got rather turned off with Frankie Boy. Things got graphic and very disturbing. I think that is when everything started adding up for me.
I like when everyone sticks to a name, as well. Things get confusing! I just hope this stops with whoever is trying to ruin this board!
The beginning salary for (sm)
a GS-0640-5 is $24677. Top end at that grade is $32084. Some localities have a higher pay scale, depending on the local economy. It's likely there will be no chance of promotion unless your supervisor quits, retires, or dies and you happen to be selected for the position. You must work to age 65 or 20 years of service, which ever comes later. Search

for all federal job postings. If you decide to apply for a govt job, be sure to read the qualifications for the position. When you write your resume, use the exact terminology (keywords) as the job description. Some clerk who has never transcribed anything in her life will be the one to look at your resume and decide if you are qualified. The only thing she has to go on is the qualifications listed for the position. When you fill out your paperwork for your security clearance, do not lie about anything.

p.r.n. at the beginning of a sentence
P.r.n. is incorrect. The correct way to type this would be:
1. Ibuprofen p.r.n.
not
1. P.r.n. ibuprofen
Slow beginning
Paid by the line, my first job paid less than $2.00/hour. First year earnings were about $10,000. Currently, depending on the worktype and dictator available, working for a National, I earn an average of $16/hr with the worst times being $7.00/hr and the best times being in excess of $22/hr. Again, the quality of the dictation makes a huge difference in production, obviously. I use Instant Text, the Expander program, which has made a huge difference.
Thanks. Good tip. I was really beginning to wonder ! nm

It's a great beginning
I think it's great and a step in the right direction. I think what this industry needs from us is proactive steps toward making it known to people outside of the industry just what is taking place. If every MT concerned about their job security wrote letters to the President, their representatives, media people - reporters, in particular, and it began to resonate with people just what is taking place, maybe changes would actually happen. It costs nothing to shoot off an email to a local reporter, a member of Congress, the Senate, etc. Let's get them to pass laws making it illegal to send medical records overseas.
Numbers at beginning of sentence
I know that if a number begins a sentence you spell it out, but I'm not sure about after a colon. We type:
BLOOD LOSS: 50 cc.
but what about
FLUIDS: 500 cc normal saline. (?)
Does the "500" need to be spelled out since there are words after the quantity, or is it considered part of a sentence beginning with "FLUIDS?"
I'm beginning to think that the Kevin vote is
America making fun of American Idol. I can't see how he's gotten enough votes and I do really hope he doesn't last much longer as he's certainly not in a league with the rest of the performers on the show this year. I'm afraid Bucky will probably fall for the same reason. There are several really great performers this year, these 2 just aren't.
I am totally beginning to agree.
What other occupation that I know of can the employer get away with paying late, no benefits, and sometimes not paying at all.
I'll find it and let you know. I was beginning to think this was all about

Need advice on beginning MT Business
Hi.
Was at my chiropractor's office today. As the conversation progressed Dr. suggested that I might be able to get involved with their office doing MT work. Offices in five states, new doctors that become busy need MTs to do their transcription. I have owned my own business in the past and understand the in's and out's of that part of it.. My question is how would I set up a platform to do the work in case it would become busy enough to need another MT to help, software, expanders, etc. I have a few very simple ideas like using MS Word and creating macros that can be sent to aother MT, etc. but not sure that is what I would do.
Is there anyone out there with any suggestions or ideas?

I work for a large company beginning with an "M" and make

At the beginning, thought the whole thing had been a dream - thank goodness it wasn't.

Agree, we are only seeing the beginning of losing so many jobs overseas to India, China, etc., etc.,
 This is a sad reality. However, our country has let this go on for years now.
Mine are in year-round thank goodness! They've started their new year 2 months ago.

Union diesil mechanic - good pay, great benefits. We swap year to year on who brings home more sm
money.....but I am an IC and he has all the benefits...health insurance/dental that the company pays for, pension plan, 401k, etc. Factor all of that in and he makes way more than I do.
