In my state you can be fired

for absolutely no reason, probably works the same as hiring. Like in my original post, I passed and told lose 20 lbs- I did not get out of sorts- I felt their loss and went on really to much better things- the telephone companies started laying off right and left so it was a blessing probably in disguise. There was no disgusing for me- literally told that- where in your case it seems like assuming on your part this is what they are thinking.

Work for a company in a state that has no state income tax
I think there are 3 or 4 out there (Florida, Texas, and a few others.) Then you really avoid the tax situation.
Name a state and put every company in that state under suspicion.
Tell what the first letter of the company is and every company with that initial will be suspect. I would imagine that everyone who works for that company has received an inquiry from department of labor, so they would all be aware of it.
Why do we persist in setting up companies to be torn down when there is no reason for it. If a company is suspect, then give the name of the company, don't give big hints that cover at least 5 companies, 4 of which may be the best companies to work for, but fall into the category of an alphabetical letter, etc.
Contact your local BBB in your state and in their state if different from yours.

Not mandatory, as you state it depends on your state - sm
or county. Where I am I do not need it; though if I was cutting grass or landscaping I would where I live, makes no sense to me as I am providing a service, but very happy I don't have to have one. We pay personal property tax here and I would have to list all my business related equipment and pay taxes on it every year I was in business. So until I am told otherwise by my county, I will not be getting a business license.
Anybody been fired from an mt job?

You won't get fired for this.
Relax! Accidents happen to everybody, especially when training on something new. All you need to do is send an e-mail briefly explaining you had 2 technical problems and providing job numbers or whatever you know about them. Then say, "Very sorry!"
It sounds like you are doing fine.
(And I'm supposedly the mean one). @@
Won't be fired.
Why continue doing something that isn't making money. Why take a paycut? I will not take a paycut. I am paid little as it is. If I take a cut in pay, might as well go work at the local Wal-Mart. JMO.
I'm sure it would come as a relief to be fired.
What an ego! Hasta la vista, baby!
And get fired? LOL You first, Satan. LOL

Just fired a doctor
I just fired one of my doctors and I feel so much better! I'm an IC and this office has been a royal pain! Very late payments, constantly losing reports and blaming me for not transcribing them, never letting me know when they'd be off (wasting my gas and time), getting behind on dictating and then wanting 5+ days of dictation back in twelve hours, etc. The final straw was when they started making me go in the waiting room and stand at the sign-in window behind all their patients to drop off work. Of course, if they were on the phone, I'd have to wait even longer when I reached the window... at times up to twenty minutes before the receptionist would open the window and take the work. I decided my other offices appreciate me too much to allow that one office to treat me like a second class citizen. To top it off -- what did the wife say when I fired him? "You can't do that -- you need the money." Too bad for her, because their money isn't worth my self-respect!
Fired a doctor
I am proud of you.
to just fired a doctor, way to go!
Reading your post sort or reminded me of those new DHL commercials on customer service (or the lack of).
When I worked in office, our old fashioned German boss would never have allowed anyone to wait..if he was running 30 minutes late, we moved every body back 45...those were the good ol days.
Well I Just Got fired so it does not matter !!!!
Back to the office for me thank god I had a plan B !!!!
Fired from one and moved to another
What is the point
No, but I've fired quite a few.

job stress. die or get fired.
i am quite upset. one of my co-workers passed away. we here all know it was from job stress, but we are not to admit it and were repremanded so by our superiors. basically it came down to "die or get fired". lucky for her she died before she could get fired.
now i am sitting here at work today wondering what the heck am i supposed to do? we cannot talk about the job stress and that is what did her in, but she was sick and getting sicker and this is why she passed away. she was sick and getting sicker from the stress dawg-gone it.
nobody gets it.
tuesday she told me that a lot of her sickness had to do with wondering if she was going to have a job or not and what would she do if she got fired? she was beside herself with worry. she worked her for 25 years, and was a good employee and excellent Transcriptionist until the new supervisor took over and started ragging on her like a pit bull dog and his prey. and this is a catholic hospital. i guess this is the new christian work ethic.
i need to vent. any comments would be appreciated but since i am at work please make them nice. i have had enough bad stuff happen around here today.
But... MTs like that would get, sooner or later, FIRED..
don't you think?
Can you get fired for doing too much work?
Has anyone been fired for getting too much work done? I have been making at least the third bonus tier for the last couple of checks (I have also been working OT), so I am afraid that it might look more pleasing to fire me and hire 2 PT workers that don't make the bonuses and don't qualify for benefits. Has anyone heard of any companies doing this? I have only been with my company for 9 months, and since I am the only one bringing in a pay check right now, I am getting really nervous. Any managers that read this, I more than welcome hearing from you as well. I just want to know if I should be concerned or if I can ease off the worry a little. Thanks!!
Only once have I seen a coworker fired and that was due to
the client no longer wanting the MT on the account. This MT was also a high producer, management raved about this person's high numbers while we gasped everytime we saw their work as it was riddled with careless errors, had no format and extra spaces and lines, uneven margins made their work look like the work of an amateur.
It took just under a year for the client to finally say something. In the meantime, I was accused of being "jealous because they made more money."
Type each report like it is the only way. Make it look like a page out of a medical journal and sign it off with love :) The benefit then comes from having people look to see who typed should a great report. Off days occur, of course, and that is when we should slow down.
You can be fired for any reason they want. sm
They don't even have to have a reason but it doesn't show well for a company to just randomly fire.
Has anyone been fired or dismissed on an account
So frustrated when you ask for help and people do not help who have experience.. Oh well

Cherry pickers should be FIRED!!
If your co-worker was any kind of a true MT she would grow up and do whatever came up in her q. Tell your supervisor! I wish I knew this idiots phone number. It really ticks me off when people cherry pick. You have my sympathy girl.
When her EMPLOYER tells her she is fired, is she going
jkl
I guess you can refuse and be fired and then
be making no money.
Not fired but at 2 places I worked
First place worked on something called units. I would usually go over 50 a day and was told 1 day if anyone got over 50 then would stop and do paper work. Told the boss that would be discrimination against me as I was the only 1 doing over 50. So much for that. The second place was 2 transcriptions only for a fairly good sized hospital. No work sent out, no need for extra people. I was told 1 day by human resources- well look how much you make at 60 thous plus and I said, yes but take the place of 2-3 people. Your pay can and has played into my work in the past. People used to offer incentive, but don’t make too much. Could be the same now with making $$$$.
Just fired off a letter to the author
I laughed when I read the part about the doctor must have been swamped and in a zoo because heard the elephant. I told the author about I along with others heard things such as urination, BMs, snorting, cell phones going in and out, dogs barking at home, and the list goes on. I said soon all the work might go overseas if the salaries here continued or dropped and most are not like the 30 something thou he said but more like in the 20s with women working long days and wkends. Also that was a hoot about the doctors being editors and no one else could change. I think I edit and I do not know of a single physician here who edits, maybe others do but not me. I told him MTers know about work outsourcing but most patients do not and I personally have done work before not only having the name but the SS of that person and good way for identity fraud. I think most Americans would not like knowing their records are going to other countries. I also said no such thing as over abdunance of work here for us, lots of MT employees run low, out every day. Well off my soap box now.
Depends on if you are fired 'for cause'
If you are let go because of incompetence, absenteeism or some fault on your part, the company can appeal your claim for unemployment and possibly win. Do they have documentation of your misdeeds? Disciplinary memos about your inability to perform in the job adequately (bad QA evaluations, etc.) or that you consistently were AWOL?
If they let you go because of lack of work, lost accounts, company reorganization, in other words nothing that was your fault, you will most likely qualify for unemployment, although I believe most companies consider it their duty to contest such a claim.
This is administered state by state, and it's hard to generalize about each state's procedures. But I believe it is usually the company that has the burden of proof that you were a bad employee, since it would be very difficult for you to prove a negative - that you were not.
fired/voluntarily quitting
Rule of thumb is if you are fired unemployment isn't as difficult to obtain. If you voluntarily leave a job, pray . . . harder to get it.
I've never been fired by anyone in my entire life.
I hate MQ and I'm happy to tell everyone why. However, every MT is different and every MTSO is different. What works for me may not work for someone else. I found my fit elsewhere.
Thanks. I knew it was wrong when I typed it but was too fired-up with this
concept to correct it. But at least I'm honest. Hey, you really don't know me. I just really expect more intelligence than what obviously is out there and never cease to be amazed at what people think is "funny" especially the latest trend of making men look stooooopid on the situation comedies, in jokes, in commercials.
You don't really think I am a guy do you intimidated by women? Cause you lose all cred as far as your insight. Actually I do think as a whole men are smarter than women but I would never be intimidated by women or men. I believe what I believe based on my experience and background. No dog in this fight. No intimidation. No bias. Just life experience.
Were U moved to another account or fired from the company? How can

I'd be furious if I had driven 5 hours to get fired..sm
Absolutely unnecessary. Is there and age discrimination issue in there somewhere??
I fired my ISP today because of non-US technical support....
To give a brief summary, I developed technical problems after my ISP decided to do some upgrades 2 weeks ago. The problems resulted in my getting kicked off line every few minutes. Upon contacting technical support I found myself consistently running into people that had no English comprehension skills and their responses had nothing to do with my problem or how to fix it. I found another ISP that would provide the services I needed and signed up with them 3 days ago, then called my main one today and told them they were fired because of their non-US based labor who couldn't help anyone. The lady I spoke with apologized and said this was an experiment they were doing with outsourcing technical support, but I told her that their experiment cost them a customer who had been with them for almost 4 years.
I've fired off e-mails to everyone in management that I could get ahold of telling them exactly why they were fired, and sharing the idiotic responses I received on my technical assistance requests.
Apparently hasn't been fired enough times
While I wouldn't cherry pick,--and I can't bc I'd get fired--
it's not the cherry pickers who are the lowest; they are low--but the employer who allows them to cherry pick who is the lowest of the low.
Employers CAN do something about it if they wanted to. Most just don't give a hoot as long as the works gets done.
I agree with poster above--I would NEVER work for a company who allowed cherrypicking!
I will do everything in my power to have cherry-pickers fired
because it's not fair to the MTs who do give a ____. I owe it to the good MTs to not let the sorry ones get away with it.
Yeah. They are so fair that they fired their president like they fire everyone else.

frank is in hawaii and won't be back until he feels like it. or he is fired,
Ask Frank is still on MQ website. Greg is back. Can Greg help?
And supposedly they are to be fired for that on DQS. I bet they are. They break the report and skip
to the next one on DQS. I get it all the time and I report it and guess what, nothing happens to them but I figure they will hang themselves eventually. They inevitably drop off the account because they really cant do it anyway.
They fired my daughter for missing work because my granddaughter had RSV. sm
 She ended up losing her house. I have nothing good to say about them.

Some people just CHOOSE to live in DE NILE (DENIAL) and we all see you are ONE OF THOSE.
Some of us CHOOSE to go through life as a REALISTS!
  
Things are different from state to state, but I think
you probably could, if you are actually "laid off." You would have to get a letter from your surgeon regarding your temporary disability status and take to the unemployment office and to Medicaid....but you know how Medicaid works, 1.5 pennies over the income limit, you don't get it. But, as I stated, laws differ from state to state, so you would have to inquire or go on their websites and see what they will approve and what they will not.
If not in your state, try filing in THEIR state. Then they
