I recall working for YOG. When it was purchased by MQ, my account suddenly became unrecognizable. It was apparent that one MT was getting the majority of the quick-money work, namely canned reports for a surgeon who did nothing else but. They are the cream of the crop and one day, they suddenly stopped coming to us. It was always the same MT who received them and then, it was clear the jobs were being assigned. Only one MT appeared to increase production and was making a ton of money comparatively speaking.
The rumour of kick backs floated around, with the MT kicking back a portion of their income to the person assigned to job allocation. At the same time, MQ was tweaking the line count. We all watched our incomes decline except for this particular MT.
It would be prudent if managers would observe income levels of individual MTs and if there is a sudden increase or decrease for any length of time that is out of the ordinary, an audit of the account take place by an objective staff member.
Being paid by piece work leaves us all vulnerable to manipulation should the account managers have freedom from scrutiny.
In this case we all were at the mercy of unscrupulous individuals as there was no oversight of the account manager. |
Corruption does exist in this business. - MT kick backs
